Ihe telephone men are taking down the new poles of the old system alone Church street tojreset them on theBi f falo line. We understand that they have no instructions to take down the old dilapidated poles and the tangled mass of old wires about town. It is probably intended to let them remain. They are now useless, as all telephones in use are connected to the Bell's switchboard. The old poles and the tangled wires are an eyesore, and they should be taken down while the linemen are here. The only .way to have this done is for the City Council to request that it be done as they are now useless and the poles'liable to soon begin falling from decay. We hope the City Council will at once take the proper steps to have these old wires and poles taken down and removed while the linemen are in town. ? , m Dislocated Her Shoulder. Mrs. Johanna Soderholm, of Fergus Falls, Minn., fell and dislocated her shoulder. She had a surgeon get it hack in place as soon as possible, hut it was quite sore and pained her very much, lisr son mentioned that lie had seen Chamberlain's l'ain Balm advertised for sprains and soreness, and she asked him to buy her a bottle of it, which he did. It quickly relieved her and enaided her to s'.eep which she had not done for several days. The son was so much pleased with the relief it gave his mother that he has since recommended it to many others. For salo by F. C. Duke, Druggist.

George Gordon, an old Scotchman of I uiiBwij- uuuuts, was aying. a neighbor who was on friendly terms with the old man's relatives agreed to call on the minister and beg him to try to Induce the old fellow to make a will. The minister consented and at length persuaded the miser to allow a lawyer to be sent for. By the time he arrived the old man was rapidly sinking, but the will was smartly drawn up and duly awaited his signature. Ho was propped up in bed and managed to write "George Gor? Then he fell back exhausted. An eager relative who stood by seized the pen and stuck it in the dying mod's hand. " 'D,' Geordle, 'd,'" referring to the next letter of the signature. The old man glared up wrathfully. "Dee?" he snapped. "I'll dee when I'm ready, ye avaricious wratchl" Somebody Lied. A certain woman has a husband who lias done such a thing us to forget to do whnt his wife had requested. The other evening about 5 o'clock he came home, and she went at him. "John," she said, "did you tell that' expressman to como here this afternoon ?" "Yes, Mary," he answered meekly. "Well, he hasn't come." "Is that so?" "Yes, it is. Now, how do you account for It?" John gave the matter a few mo IUVUIO (.'uuaiueiuuuu. I "Wdl, raj dear," he' said finally, | "either he's lying or I am, and to relievo us both from your suspicions I'll just step down to his place and see what's the matter." And the charitable John went to see the expressmanft A Gustatory Gem. The chef was Ignorant of the presence of the cannibal king, who eyed him critically, while a sunny smile danced gayly over his dimpled fea* tures. Suddenly the chef became aware of his presence and said as bo most artistically salaamed: "I would have your majesty know that I have just created a formula for a soup that shall win an Instant Immortality." "And what may It be?" asked the monarch impatiently. "I never was an expert in the art of guessing, and I would know the name of your new decoction." And the chef, appreciating the king's i Interest and his own Importance, sa- | laamed again and replied: i "Mock missionary." ? New York i Times. 1 J a at Por a Lark. I Rabbit Ilunter?
