From Homk \ni» Faism.
With tin* windows all raised to]
the highest notch and the cool
breeze blowing in from the green
•fields, your Uncle To bey will talk
to you aljout liars. The liar is a
land animal but he has been known
to lie under water for a long time
after he was dead. He is usual
ly a coward, and when truth comes
limping in at the front door with
a stonebrui.se on its heel and a
mansard roof over its eye, the
liar will jump through the back
window if it can’t get out of the
house any other way.
One day a liar told ft pretty
young girl that she could reform
a young man who wanted to mar
ry her, but who got drunk, was
vulgar, and mean to his mother
and sisters. One night while the
whippoi wills were calling to their
mates and the cows were quietly
■chewing their cuds, this girl stole
away from home and married him,
and their children have been steal
ing ever since they were big
enough to reach what was insight.
Yes, he changed after she married
him. lie got worse, and soon
went over the river by the jim-jam
route. The young wife took in
washing to support herself and
children, and died one day from
sickness contracted from being
turned out of doors in midwinter
because she was unable to pay the
rent.
One day a liar told a friend of
your Uncle To bey that it was his
Christian duty to drop his chop
ping ax, throw down his grubbing
hoe, unhitch his plow team, drive
his mower in the fence corner and
let hay lie in the windrow, while
lie ran thnteen rnile> in the hot.
sun to take a hand in a quarrel
that did not concern him. lie did
a- he was told, and the doctor
charged him titty dollars for pick
ing the shot out of him, and a
heavy rain set in and ruined eigh
teen tons of hay in the field.
Onee a liar told another friend
of your Uncle Tobey that be could
get rich easier and quicker by buy
ing futures than any other way
and run no risk of getting in jail.
i>o our friend sold a large farm,
all but forty acres, his stock and
everything, and went up to St.
.Louis to get rich quick. Six
months after that he was back
without a dollar, lb' had, how
ever, gobbled up an immense
amount of experience and stored
away large gobs of wisdom. He
■went back on the forty acres be
bad not sold, bought a mouse-col
ored mule on credit and is now
raising cotton for the speculators
to steal.
A liar once told a hoy that if lie
would learn to smoke, chew, drink,
awear and cheat he would he a
man right now. The hoy tried it,
although Ids father and mother
did everything they could to keep
him from it. He is now in jail for
obtaining goods under false pre
tenses.
At another time a liar told a
.young man that if he would toll
vulgar stories about young kudos
that condescended to go with him
he would become very popular
among the other young men, and
the young ladies would break their
regular gait in their efforts to be
tirst. in his favor. He tried it and
•when the girl's father got through
with him he looked like a wet dish
rag just out of a Kansas cyclone.
Your Uncle Tobey once heard a
two-by-four politician with an
eight-by-ten mouth tell a lot of our
farmers that he loved them all
like brothers, ane that if they
would vote for him he would see
that the legislature would prss a
law compelling the railroad com
panies to pay them full value for
the stock killed by their trains,
without having to resort to long
and tedious lawsuits, which usual
ly cost the farmers more than the
stock was worth. Some of the
farmers believed him, and the last
your l ncle To boy heard of them
the moss was seventeen inches
long on their (jacks and still grow
ing.
One time your Uncle Tobey saw
a lot of business men in town lis
tening to a liar who was telling
them that a local paper wasn't
much pumpkins an.vhow, and that
they would better spend their
money in a red-blaze write-up
which lie would give them in a pa
per published 2(M> miles from that
place. They believed him, and
each gave him the required amount
of shekels. Ivich received so many
paper- to distribute, according “’to
his deeds" done to the aforesaid
liar. Hut nobody about town or
in the country wanted the papers
and they were finally thrown in
the back alley where several old
farmers found them and carried
them home to wrap around their
fruit trees to protect them from
the rabbits.
The local paper \v;h neglected.
The editor's wife starved to death
trying to live on a diet of bed slats
and wild onions, and the editor
shortly followed her to heaven,
where he was given a harp and a
witness summons to appear against
the business men of that town and
his delinquent subscribers on the
Day of Judgment. The town is
now wrapped in sleepy silence and
dog fennel. The business men
are lazily awaiting the blast of t la
in iel's horn, knowing full well
that they have got to meet that
editor.
This i-n't all 1 know about liars,
but it's enough for one dose.

KIDNEY DISEASES RKZ
When the Kidneys fail to perform their functions properly by not straining out the poison
ous waste matter from the blood as it passes through them, the poisons are carried by the
circulation to every part of the body, deranging the different organs. This causes heart
trouble, stomach trouble, sluggish liver and a host of other ills, all due to deranged Kidneys.
FOLEYSKIDNEYCURE
corrects irregularities and cures Kidney and Bladder diseases in every form, tones up the
whole system, and the diseases that have
CURED OF BRIGHT’S DISEASE.
Mr. Robert Q. Burke, Elnora. Saratoga Co., N. Y., writes:—I am glad to have an oppoT“
tunity of telling what magnificent results I have had from usiag FOLEY’S KIDNEY
CURE after having tried other advertised medicines and several physicians. Before 1 began
it I had to get up from 12 to 20 times each night to relieve my bladder. I was all bloated up
with dropsy and my eyesight was so impaired that I could scarcely see one of my family
across the room. In fact. I was so badly used up that I had given up hope of living when I
was urged by a friend to try FOLEY’S KIDNEY CURE. One 50-cent bottle worked won
ders, and before I had taken the third bottle the superfluous flesh had gone, as well as all
other symptoms of Kidney trouble. My friends were surprised that I was cur^d, as they # . - ~ • T'v* 1*. L
