impossible to find an enterprise or a
business that is remunerative either to

motor some time past, and the pros-
pectsiu'enot as bright as could be de-

is worth investigating. The. Garment
Gutter (30., is needing a few more good
organizers to introduce their garment cut-
ear in other towns upon the same plan as

The business is profitable to an unusual
. It is lwnnanent and pleasant
also. Anuniberof “00d business men
are now considering this matter and
those who look it up promptly will find
it to their advantage.
Many persons womler why the (lar-
meat cutter is attracting so much atten-
tion. If they will only examine. the sys-
torn and see what it is and then consider
the manner in which the eompanv docs
budnesa they will readily understand
why it is attracting this attention. For
no article now before the. public is more
useful and few, if any, more profitable
to the person in the business.
Any article that is a household neces-
lit must. always sell, and any article
t sellswcll, if the profit is large and
competition is little or none at all, must
always be desirable to handle. In this
direction the garment cutter has no
superior,if an equal. in this country.
The clear headed business man is seek-
ing just such opportunities, and "may

There is hope for the buck feverish man

St. ate-phen‘s day—that ls‘, tho day after
Christmas-is when the birds are carried
around, tied to a. brunch and killed at.
night. There are half a dozen stories
which lead up to the killing of the bird.
One is that the llruids held the wren sa—
cred, and accordingly when Christianity
was introduced into England and lrcland
it became a religious duty on the part of
the converts to kill the wrcn as a means of
showing spite to heuthculsm. Such pure
and unmitigated brutality is unworthy of

women were so enterprising as to pay
two visits to Woollen, thus getting a
pair of the precious spoils. It was one
of these who once chanced to be taking
afternoon tea with a friend. A Childs
cup and «near were handed her. Sud-
denly she noticed that the woman next
her was likewise equipped, and then,
glancing toward the tea table, she ob
served that it was stocked with others
of the same species.
The woman who had prided herself
upon her own enterprise in the matter
felt considerable chagrin at any code
having get ahead of her. so before she
departed she took occasion to say to her
hostess:
"You seem to be well supplied with
Mr. Childs’s china 1”
"Oh, yes,” replied the hostess. with-
outa flicker, “1 went twelve times to
Woollen so as to complete the full
dozen. you know."
Is it any wonder that Mr. Childs was
compelled to call a halt at the end of a

ZEKE AND THE GOVERNOR;
Mn. Zeke Ackc Questions which Abuli
the Governor's Friend.
I had met the Governor of Tennessee
and had a long and interesting talk
with him, and I was rather boasting of
the fact to the mountaineer's wife as we
sat chatting during the absence of her
husband when she asked:
"Is he a taller man than my Zeke?"
"No, I don't think so."
“Does he weigh more?”
“Not as much."
"Did he ever tackle a bar with a
club'l"
"1 don't know. but ghould say not.
Perhaps he never saw a~wild bear in his
life.”
"Ever lick a critter in a rough-and-
tumble font?"
“1 can't say as to that. though he
doesn't look to be a fighter."
"Stranger," she went on as she ceased
her knitting for a moment, “kin that
Guv'ner of Tennessee bust a squirrel's
head in the tallest tree in this Stait with
abulletl” '~
"Erobably not, ma‘am."
”Would he dare tackle a wild cat
which had got among the chickens?"
“1 can’t say.”
"Kin he git on to the bar’ back of a
buckiu' mewl and click right thar till
the horn blows for dinner and the wow]
hain‘t got no more buck left?"
"i can‘t tell you about these things,
of course. The Governor is a very
nice man. however, and I shall always
be glad that I met him."
“Is he hefty on the wrassle‘l” she
queried, as she looked straight into my
face."
“I think not."
“Kin he jump nine feet?”
“I presume not, but you see.
ma’am—a”
“Then mebbe thar's better men than
the Guv'ner of Tennessee!" she inter-
rupted. "and mebbe my man Zeke are
one of 'em. an‘ won't feel a bit hurt if
you say so!"——Detroit Free Press.

“One day . several of us were visiting
Fitzsimmons at his trainingtquarters in
Texas. Well, what do you think that
blamed fool did? He unchained that
lion and turned him loose in the room
with us.
“‘Don’t any of you move!‘ yelled
Fitz.
"Move? Why, [ didn’t breathe till
