Please Stop My--What?
‘Times are hard, money is
scarce, business dull, retrench-
ment is a duty. Please stop my
—” Whiskey? “Oh nb, times
are not hard enough for that yet
But Jhere is something else that
cost me a large amount of money
every year, which I wish to ave?
Please stop my—” Cigars? “Oh
no. can’t do without smoking.
Please stop my—” Ribbons,
jewels, ornaments and trinkets?
“Not at all. Pride must be fos
tered if times are ever so hard;
but I believe I can see a way to
effect quite a saving in another
direction. Please stop my—”
Tea, coffee and unheilthy luxur-
ies? “No, no, no. Not these. I
cannot think of doing such a

My home paper costs me two
cents a week, $1 a year. I must
save that. Please stop my—
paper. That will carry me
through easily. Of course my
wife and children want the paper,

The Situation in Coke.
The Rustler is not a pessimis-
tic paper, and does not believe
in picturing all the distressing
news of the country in dark col-
ors. but it sometimes becomes
the duty of the county paper to
tell some of the disagreeable
facts as they fall out.
The drouth has come, and the
thousands of acres of corn plant-
ed in Coke will not average more
than two bushels to the acre.
Most of the stalks have aiready
been cut for fodder. Not one
farmer in ten will have enough
corn and wheat to'supply them
with bread six months.
The cotton crop is suffering
badly. It is generally conceded
now that a half crop is all that
can be expected, even if rain
falls abundantly within a week.
There is a probability of an al-
most total failure. It is no
wonder that our people are cur-
tailing their wants and buying
but little—only necessities.
Let us all join in and hope that
the cotton will yet grow’ us out.
It may do so if the much needed
rain comes speedily.—Coke Co.
Rustler.
A Specimen of Art.
Saturday evening a well known
citizen accompanied his family,
who were going away for the
summer, to the International and
Great Northern depot. Just be-
fore the train started his wife
slipped her hand into his pocket
and drew’ a five dollar bill.
“Here! What’s that?” ejacu-
lated the astonished citizen.
“That.” replied his better half
smiling sweetly, “is merely a
speci men of my d raw 11 work! ’’—

Don’t forget the Ice Cream
Supper to be given by the ladies
of the Methohist church Tuesday
night in the new’ Currie building
next door to Ostertag’s.
The new clergyman had been
asked to Sunday dinner by one
of the familes of his congrega-
tion, and had accepted.
“You are a real good boy!” he
said to the small son of his host
at the table.
“Me?” said the boy, surprised
at unsolicited commendation
from any source.
“Yes,” went on the minister.
“I watched you all through the
sermon this morning, and you
hardly moved.”
“Oh,” exclaimed the lad, as a
light broke upon him. “Well,
you see. I was afraid of waking
pop up.”

Truer/words than these by
Samuel Smiles, were never pen-
t.ed. Fortune has often been
blamed for he” blindness; but
fortune is not as blind as men
are. Those who look at practical
life will find that’fortune is us-
ually on the side of the industri-
ous, as the wind and waves are
on the best side of the navigators.
Success treads on the head of
every right effort; and though it
is possible to over, estimate
success to an extent of almost de-
fying it, as is sometimes done,
still, in any w’orthy pursuit, it is
meritorous Nor are all the
qualities necessary to insure suc-
cess at all extraordinary. They
may, for the most part, be sum-
med up in these two columns,
common sense and peesever-
ance.”
