There are many families in
Runnels county who ate living on
easy street by doing just what the
Coleman lady is doing. Runnels
county farmers do not take back
seats for any when it comes to
diversified farming. In fact Run ■
Dels county farmers are the orig-
inators of easy living, and if y ou
don't believe they are living at
home and boarding in'tlie kitch-

time at any well kept farm home
and you will be thoroughly con-
vinced. It is a great deal easier

A dry good merchant was start-
ing down town xx hen his wife re-
minded him of Ins most important
duty during the day: “Now, my
dear, be sure and send to the city
for that hew stanhope, so we can
have it for Sunday. You know
our old buggy is getting so that it
is not fit to be seen.”
Just a few blocks away the mer-
chant who handles vehicles and ini
plements was sitting nt breakfast
with his family. The conservation
drifted around to the near
proach of school. “And that
minds me, John.’’ said the
who sat at the head of the table,
‘I must be going to the city not
later than next week I must get
school clothes ami see about a fall
suit myself, and while there per
haps 1 had In-tier see about a new
rug for the parlor and some la ‘e

An hour later a leading grocer
stepped into a bank to buy a draft
which he was going to send to a
catalogue house for a sxvell bed
room suite.
“How's business’ asked
banker. “Oh, not so very good,”
replied the grocer, “things are
dull just now.”
Before the banker finished writ
ing the draft a dapper young man
with a grip stepped up and asked
how everything was. The banker
seemed glad to see him. He was a
representative of a printing es-
tablishment in another city. He
and the banker chatted pleasantly
for a few minutes, after which the
young man inquired casually of
his friend behind tin1 window if he
wanted anything. “Well, yes,” re
plied the banker. “I believe I do.
