A POINT OF INTEREST.
In a certain county of Arkansas a
man named Walters was put on trial
for stealing a watch. The evidence
had been very conflicting, and, as the
jury retired, the judge remarked,
suavely, that if he could afford any
assistance in the way of smoothing
out possible difficulties he should be
most happy to do so.
Eleven of the jurors had filed out
of the box, but the twelfth remained;
and there was on his countenance an
expression indicating great perplexi-
ty.
"Is there any question you'd like to
ask me before you retire?" asked his
Honor,

The man's face brightened. "Yes,
you Honor." he replied, eagerly. "I'd
like to know, your Honor, whether the
prisoner really stole the watch."

MERE CAUTION.
A dentist in Rochester was visited
by a native of Dutchess county to be
treated for an ulcerated tooth.
"That's a bad tooth," said the man
of the forceps, "and I should advise
you to spare yourself pain by taking
gas. It will be only fifty cents more."
And the dentist showed his machine
to the doubtful person from Dutchess
county, explaining its workings—how
he would fall asleep for a minute or
two and then awake with the tooth
and the pain gone. At last the patientlet.

NEW 1908
DE LAVAL
CREAM
SEPARATORS
January 1, 1908, marks another great move forward in
the development of the Cream Separator—the introduction
of a complete new line of DE LAVAL. Farm and Dairy Sizes
of machines, ranging in separating capacity from 135 pounds
to 1,350 pounds of milk per hour
As nearly perfect as the DE LAVAL, machines have
been before, they are now still further improved in practically
every detail of construction and efficiency, and every
feature reflects the past two years of experiment and test
by the De Laval engineers and experts throughout the world.
The principal changes are in greater simplicity of construction,
ease of cleaning and replacement of parts; less
cost of repairs when necessary; easier hand operation; more
complete separation under hard conditions; greater capacity,
and a material reduction of prices in proportion to capacity.
The DE LAVAL was the original Cream Separator and
for thirty years it has led in making every new separator
invention and improvement. Every good feature is now
bettered and retained and many new and novel ones added,
rendering DE LAVAL superiority over imitating machines
even greater in every way than ever before.
A new 1908 DE LAVAL catalogue and any desired particulars
are to be had for the asking.
