NOT SATISFIED.
One of the wisest men the world
has ever known said, “Man born
of woman is never satisfied,” and
we are very much of the opinion
that he was correct.
One year ago we began business
here with a very small stock of
groceries, and a nice, but old
fashioned soda fountain. We fi
gured then if we could sell a cer
tain amount of goods the first
month, we would be satisfied. The
results were we sold more than
twice the amount we anticipated.
The following mouth we added to
our stock, our fixtures, etc., and
this second month showed an in
crease of sales of 68 per cent over
the first month. This condition
continued until December which
exceeded by far any previous
month, and we thought surely it
was impossible to get more trade,
however, to our surprise January
showed considerable increase in
^ales over December, but still we
were not satisfied.
We have added to our stock un
til we rarely have calls for any
thing in the grocery line that we
do not carry, and have replaced
our old soda fountain with one of
the very latest on the market; a
fountain which is rarely seen in a
town this size. But the town is
growing as well as we, and we
have always felt that the best is
none too good for any of our cus
tomers, and unless we have it for
you, we are Not Satisfied.
Notwithstanding the hard times
talk you will always hear, we are
doing a nice business during the
week at present, and on Saturdays
we haven’t the space or help
enough to possibly wait on every
customer as we should. And yet,
we are NOT SATISFIED.
To you who have helped us, we
wish to extend our best thanks,
and ask you to continue to en
trust us with your orders whether
large or small. If you are with
the few who have not tried us, we
will appreciate a trial order more
than you know, and until we se
cure, at least, a part of your trade,
we will not be satisfied.

KEEP LIVER IN GOOD ORDER
Everything 8eema Wrong When Im
portant Organ Is Not Doing the
Work It 8hould.
When the liver is bad life is jaun
diced. Nothing will be right and
woes will flock—in imagination.
Therefore keep in good trim.
If you think your liver is torpid,
take it in time. Change your diet;
go in hard for systematic outdoor ex
ercise, special calisthenics to act on
the liver and deep breathing.
Avoid rich food, especially in hot
weather. Eat plenty of fresh vege
tables, fruit, Graham or whole wheat
bread and not too much meat. If
milk makes you bilious, it is better
not to drink it in hot weather, or at
least not take it more than once a
day.
As soon as you begin to feel bilious
and your eyeballs look yellow, drink
lemon and water. Not lemonade, for
the acid of the sugar and lemon is
injurious, but the juice of half a
lemon squeezed into a glass of water.
This can be taken hot at bedtime and
cold but not iced, in the morning.
THE SMALLEST KINGDOM.
Monaco is the smallest kingdom
in the world. It is only 53Vi miles
in circuit, including Monte Carlo.
The capital, Monaco, containing
2,000 inhabitants, is perched upon a
rocky promontory rising perpendicu
larly about 200 feet above the sea
level. The only land approach is by
a steep winding road, well fortified.
The castle, built in 1642, which
crowns the center of the rock upon
the site of a much more ancient
fortress, is a remarkable specimen
of military architecture of the fif
teenth and sixteenth centuries. The
interior of the castle is remarkably
rich. One long gallery is said to be
painted by Michael Angelo. An
other is covered with fine paintings
by Genoese artists. There is a mag
nificent marble staircase and fine
apartments, each with a history at
tached.
AVERAGE LENGTH OF LIFE.
The man who lives till he is more
than a oentury old and the child who
dies in infancy are alike included in
the law of averages. They balance
each other’s chances, as it were.
Of 100,000 people living at the
age of 21, only 82,284 will be living
at 40, only 49 will be living at 96,
and only nine at 97. At 30, the
average man may take it that he has
under 35 years to live; at 40, under
28 years; at 60, under 21 years; at
60 under 14 years.
In each and all of these cases, how
he lives will determine whether he
will have a longer life or a shorter
life, but the average will infallibly
work out within a space of 90 years.
AUSTRALIAN CADET CORP8.
All children in Australia are
drilled, but the elder boys are
attached to the Australian mil
itary forces by means of the
cadet corps. Almost every large
school has its band of cadets,
who wear neat khaki uni
forms and are armed with light
rifles, in the use of which they are
frequently instructed.
Every year these boys have shoot
ing matches, and the scores prove
that among the youngsters there are
many who have already become
skilled marksmen.
THE MEAN MAN.
Pearl—I think the writer that
lives next door is the meanest man I
ever saw. He is writing an article
entitled “The Clinging Tempera
ment of Woman.”
Ruby—I don’t see anything so ter
rible in that.
Pearl—No, but the brute occupied
a comfortable seat in a street car to
day and allowed me to cling by a
strap for 20 blocks so he could get
some atmosphere on the subject.
SAW IT ON THE BOOK.
Aunt Martha—Yes, Silas, while
we was in New York we took in the
grand opery—which opery ? Well,
now, I don’t just recollect the name
of it. Do you, Hiram?
Uncle Hiram—Sakes alive, Mar
thy, can’t you remember nothin’. It
was that there opery they call “Lib
retto.”—-Boston Transcript.
SOUNDED LIKE IT.
"Why did you have to remain
after school?”
“I couldn’t tell what a strait was.”
“Good heavens! Do they teach
poker in the school these days?"—

the cold out of the system. Sold

EXCELSIOR-EUREKA.
Never in the history of any
country, in any age, has there
been such a mighty work before
the youth of our land as there is
today; and we might say never
were young men as ignorant of it
and unfitted for their work. Each
one wants the other to row the
boat while he catches the fish. All
seem to believe in luck. Let us
say to you, young men, that pluck
wins more battles than luck. Wish
ing is the easiest way in the world
to get a poor living. Looking for
the fortunate star to rise is like
standing on the ocean’s strand
waiting and watching for wealth
laden ships to come over the sea
that never ‘‘put out.” Wishing
brings a small income, and the
taxes on it are enormous. Don’t
say the world owes you a living
until you have earned one. Idle
ness in boys and girls is the black
est curse of any land. There is
just as great a work and just as
noble for the young woman as for
the young man. When the girls,
in earnestness, cast aside the loose
cloak of vain fickleness, and don
ning the beautiful garments of
laboring purity, come forth from
the sickly chamber of the “accom
plished” asking “What shall we
dot” and bearing the motto “Wo
man’s ability shall see light,” then
the boys will become more earnest,
more temperate, more like men.
Dear young people be not afraid or
ashamed of labor. Hard hands,
strong arms, and sunburned faces
are honorable. Take “Excelsior”
for your motto, and if you are
patient, in a few years you can
surely write under it that other
good word, “Eureka.”

paratively new, Eldridge sewing
