The season is ripe for a corn par-
ty. Issue the invitations on corn-
tailored paper and write in white
iflfc. Word in the usual formal
May.
Decorate the house with ears of
corn, both red and white. When
tfce guests arrive pass an ear of
corn with ribbon to each, and a
wooden dish, such as grocers use
fin- butter. Request that each per-
son count the grains on his corn and
fcpep the number to himself until all
aire counted; then collect the kernels
and put them into one receptacle.
Then pass pieces of paper, on which
one must write his name and guess
at the number of grains of corn in
tbe bowl. The two who come near-
cat the correct number are awarded
prizes. The rewards may be ther-
BOOfrieters fastened on ears of corn,
suspended by ribbons. After this
fine the guests in two lines, as for a
bee or contest, and give the head
one in each line as large a handful
of the kernels as he can hold. These
must be passed quickly down the
tine, the side finishing with the
greatest number of kernels, also
dtat finishing quickest, receiving a
prize.
Next supply thread and needles
and a quantity of the kernels, let-
ting the boys make neck chains for
tbe girls and the girls watch chains
for the boys. To find partners,
10ace a number of corn-colord rib-
bons between foldiiig doors, having
tbe boys in one room and the girls
in another. When all have select-
ed ends, the doors are opened and
partners revealed.
"Nut Seekers" is another good
tfame. Hide nuts or apples in va-
rious parts of the room or house
and award a prize to the one find-
ing the most nuts or apples.—Pitts-
burgh Sun.

Farm and Ranch:
Being a country woman, I think
< lean appreciate the good country
families derive from attending the
fair.
They learn a. great deal, while
these, conversing with those who
bave raised and prepared all the
nice and pretty things on parade.
They are induced to read all pa-
pers, books and magazines relative
to the same. They talk over all
they hear and read with one an-
other and their neighbors, learning
tbe best and surest way of bring-
ing about the best and quickest re-
oaks in regard to all farming and
stock raising.
The men and boys learn a great
deal about all kinds of stock, farm-
log implements, patent time savers
and farming in general, thus pre-
paring them to equip their homes
and farms so they may be conduct-
ed in a business way.
The ladies are induced to take a
greater pride and interest in their
garden, orchard and poultry.
Strive to produce the greatest va-
riety and finest quality of Vegeta-
fruits, preserves, jellies, jams
pickles and so forth, also to
the best thoroughbred chick-
the largest turkeys, ducks and
every member of the family to look
forward to, to prepare for and take
an interest in, from grandma, with
her knitting, crocheting and patch-
work, down to the tiniest tot with
its pot-flowers and home-made can-
dies. Mrs. Elzy Whitis.
Manners.
"If I had my way there should be
but one kind of manners and that
good," says Virginia Terhune Van
de Water in the Woman's Home
Companion. "I would have each
child drilled to be as scrupulously
polite to the members of his family
as to the guests within his father's
gates, as courteous to the employe
in the kitchen or chamber as to his
mother's cafters.
"If we are honest we must admit
that with many educated and rej
fined persons there is a difference
in the courtesy displayed to home
people and that directed toward
strangers. The man who does not
consider it worth while to rise when
his wife or mother comes into the
room will spring to his feet when
the guests of wife or mother enter.
The lad who nods to his sister,
whom he meets alone on the street,
will take off his hat when this sis-
ter is accompanied by her pretty
chum.
Profits in Raising Colts.
Every farmer with a few acres of
land in pasture, and who will raise
a little extra feed, is in a position to
make a few hundred dollars profit
every year raising colts. Grade
mares or even heavy "plugs" of good
conformation may be used where
the services of draft stallions may
be secured. There is a great de-
mand for heavier teams and those
who have them for sale are realiz-
ing nice profits from them. It has
been estimated by practical farm-
ers that a good work mare under fav-
orable circumstances will pay her
board and that of her foal with her
work, and leave the colt as profit to
her owner. When we consider the
value of desirable draft horses it
will be seen how much this profit
on two or three colts will mean. It
is certainly worth while to make
profit in this way since the colts are
very little trouble and the loss of
work on account of them is insig-
nificant.—Farm and Ranch.

Declare War on Colds.
A crusade of education which
aims "that common colds may be*
come uncommon within the next
generation" has been begun by
prominent New York physicians.
Here is a Ust of the "don'ts" which
the doctors say will prevent the an-
nual visitation of the cold:
"Don't sit in a draughty car."
"Don't sleep in hot rooms."
"Don't avoid the fresh air."
"Don't stuff yourself at meal
time. Ov^r-eating reduces your re-
sistence."
To which we would add—when
you take a cold get rid of it as
quickly as possible. To accomplish
that you will find Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy most excellent Sold
by all dealers.
"That novelist says he takes his
characters from real life." "He
should be encouraged to keep on
taking them," replied Mr. Growcher.
"The fewer like them in real life,
the better."—Washington Star.
Man (to boy in swimming)—"If
the water's so cold why don't you
come out?" Boy—"Oh, I want to
iet some other fool to come in."—
The Logical Place to
Buy Furniture
A greater dollar's worth for every furniture-dollar
you expend—that is a claim we are making good on
every day in the year. That is why this store is the
logical place to buy furniture. In buying furniture you
sometimes pay a big price, but you do not always get
what you pay for in service. Our guarantee of satis-
faction or your money back is behind every article we
sell.
Here you will find the very latest designs in bedroom
pieces in Birdseye Maple, Early English, Circassian
Walnut and Mahogany, Iron and Brass beds, Sanidown
mattresses, in fact we have everything needed to make
the bedroom comfortable and attractive.
Every day in the week we keep "open house," with
an invitation to every one to come and make them-
selves at home—to look without obligation to buy.

Girl Hecomes Lawyer Ready to Practice.
New York, Nov. 19.—Miss Sophie
Keblan, who was one of the most
popular girls in New York Universi-
ty, is now a lawyer, ready and will-;
ing to take off her hat, which is thej
feminine equivalent for taking off,
one's coat, and fight before the'
courts of the city and state. Un-
assisted by the members of her
family this plucky young girl won a
diploma and a, place at the bar.
She worked as a housekeeper by
day so as to enable her to continue
her studies at night. When she
first entered the law school she was
in short skirts, and the other
students dubbed her as the "Kin-
dergarten Kid." Miss Keblan is
anxious to begin the practice of
her profession at once.
And now that she has thus far
succeeded new friends have volun-
teered to give her every aid possi-
ble in launching her on a most suc-
cessful career.

Night of Terror.
Few nights are more terrible than
that of a mother looking on her
child choking and gasping for breath

thought will enable you to avoid all
this. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
is a certain cure for croup and has
never been known to fail. Keep it
at hand. For sale by all dealers.
