The New Century Leverless Riding Cultivator. It is Springless and Self Balancing. The best piece of machinery ever taken into a cornfield for the cultivation of corn. You will have to try it out, to say so too.

We also keep the old stand bys, the Avery and the Deere. They have been in your field so long that you know them. They are no experiment in Aududubon County.

Then, we handle The Blue Ribbon Cultivator so famous throughout Iowa for its easiness to handle its superiority in its work. It's one of the best. In fact we keep nothing else.

In Hay Loaders, we have the New Deere, Gearless and Hawkeye. These machines are the best on the market and when you purchase either one, you will have the satisfaction of knowing there is nothing better.

For twenty-five years, they have been trying to find a mower that is better than the McCormick, Deering, or Dane, but it has not been done.

Looking After the Eggs.

Lady Betty, who is 4 years old, and never misses a trick, was taken the other evening to a restaurant for her supper, and with all the importance and sprightly dignity of her years, calmly ordere* poached eggs on toast. While the little family group was awaiting its service, the "kiddle" amused herself by looking out of the window, pressing against a screen to get a closer view of something below. She was warned by her mother that the screen might give way and let her fall to the sidewalk, perhaps Injuring her terribly. She drew away, thought a minute, and then said naively, "Would I fall if the screen went out?" "You certainly would," was her mother's reply. "And would I get awful hurted?" "Very likely." "Then what would the man do with the eggs?"

COUNTESS AS STREET SWEEP

Young German Noblewoman Inspired Her Countrymen to Freedom by Display of Fortitude.

Julie M. Llppmann tells a story ot the Thirty Years' war In 8t Nicholas, under the title of "The Street Sweeper." The author says:

Now Mainz one of the strongest fortresses in Germany but, nevertheless, during the Thirty Years' war it was occupied by the French, who laid the country waste and ruled over the land with all the harshness of invaders. There seemed no hope of escaping from their tyranny, for the men who had fought and lost were discouraged, and had no further heart for resistance. So matters went from bad to worse until, one day, the beautiful young countess of Stein summoned all the sweetest and best maidens of the city into her presence, and urged then* to make a solemn vow that they would neither wed nor listen to a word of wooing until their country was eiv tlrely free.

As you may believe, the news of this league made a great stir for meu who have lost their courage In war, and men who have lost their hearts In love, are very different beings. The Frenchmen saw very soon that the young Germans were showing signs of rebellion, and so they determined to wreak their vengeance on the countess. They took her prisoner, dragged her through the city, and at last thrust a broom into her hand, and bade her sweep the prlnolpal street of the town—a terrible humiliation, they thought, for a high-bred lady as sho was.

But do you think she faltered? No, indeed. She raised her eyes, and, praying aloud so all could hear "God 3f my fatherland, bless my sweeping, ft&d as I sweep the highway, grant liat the enemy may be swept from rur land!"—grasped the broom firmly (like the true young noblewoman she was) and swept so clean that not a Frenchman of them all (and Frenchmen pride themselves on being able to see very fine points) could discover a speck of dust. They stood about, and twirled their mustaches, and tried to look supercilious, and to raise the people's mlr.Mt against her. But they did not succeed and the townsfol'a. Instead of jtering, took off their caps, and echoed her prayer—"God bless the sweeping!"

And God did bless It for the sight of their nc-ble young countess at her task put the men on their mettle, ani they turn4d on the Frenchmen and fought with such a will that it was dot long before there was not one left in the land, and they had Indeed swept the coiw.tfy quite clear of every foe.

Couldn't Eat Much.

"No, deal'," said mamma to little Cvrie, who had Just received a box of sweetmeats, "you must ask one of your little friends in to share your candy." "Well," replied the little lady, after a few moments' thought, "I—I guess I'll Invite Fannip, 'pause candy makes her tooths acha an' she can't much.'
