Cancer Of the Tongue.
A Case Resembling that of General
Grant.

Some ten years ago had a scrofulous sore on my
right hand which gave me great trouble, and under
the oId.time treatment healed up; but 1t had only
been driven into the system by the use Of potash
and mercury, and in March, 1882, IL broke out in
my throat and concentrated in what some ofthe doc
tors called cancer, eating through my check, de-
stroying the roof Of my mouth and upper lip, then
attacked my tongue palate and lower lip, destroy
ing the palate and under lip entirely and half my
tongue eating out to the top OF my left cheek bone
and up TO the left eye. ! could not eat any solid
food, but subsisted ON liquids and my tongue was
so far gone could not talk. Such was my wretch
ed, helpless condition the LIST of last October 1SSi,
when my friends commenced giving me Swift
Specific. In less than n month the eating places
stopped and healing commenced, and the fearful
aperture in my cheek mas been closed and firmly
knitted together. A process of new under lip Is
progressing finely, and the tongue, which was al
most destroyed. Is being recovered, and 1t seems
that nature is supplying new tongue. lean talk
so that my friends can readily understand me, and
can also eat solid food again. IL any doubt these
facts, / would refer them TO Hon. John H. Traylor,
State Senator Of this district, and TO DIR. T. 5.

The MINUEr.

The event to which most Of the sOcie
~ people hsve been looking forward
with perhaps more interest and greater
anticipation of pleasure shau any otheI
OF the holiday amusements. Is past. The
Christmas hop was q great success
Tire were present about sixty couples
Of Emporiaos and visitors from neigh
boring cities. The company though
large was select and congenial. Every
thing cOnspired for comfort and pleas
ure. The large hall with its broad ex.
panse OF canvassed floor, was
kept at just the right temp eraturei
The Knights Of PYthlas orchestra never
played for afiner or meTrier Assemblage,
and they never played better. Their
music was excellent. Jack Gilehrist'l
voice prompting for the quadrilles filled
the immense hall.
The reception committee consisted OF
Chas. Gllchrlst, Frank Mccullough, Ed.
w. Green and John Z. Martin. The
floor managers were ChAs. Russell,
Frank Dale, z c. GreeDman, VIII East
man, Fred LakIn and Harry Irwin, and
all did their duty well.
The company assembled, and the ele-
CANT programs, OF novel design with
fringes OF various coIors and series of
leaves containing the numbers, distrib-
uted, the grad march commenced.
There were twenty-four numbers, the
last OF which was finished in the early
morn. After the fourteenth dance
there was q recess OF an hour, during
which the party adjourned t. the restau-
rants Of Orr and Clapp for supper, after
which the program WAS finished.
There was no lack Of interest, no grow
ing tired. Christmas Joy predominate6
everywhere. The club planned, pre-
pared and executed their work admira-
bly,. The Christmas dance given by the
Minuet boys will not be forgotten.

Genius and Opportunity.

For a score of years the scientific
school of criticism has tried to break
down the barrier between ordinary
minds and men of genius by proving
that genius differs in degree but not in
kind from common intellects. That
this tendency should have grown in
favor with critics is not surprising; it is
merely an illustration of that larger
tendency in modern science to regard
all organic beings as related, and to OBJ
literate the line of separation between
the lowest men and the highest ami
mails. But after accepting the asser-
ton that men of genius are only ordi-
nary men with some intellectual quail
ties developed to an unusual degree,
how does that make genius any the less
remarkable? 1t is in the difference
that the marvel lies, and not in the re-
semblance. Science will never be able
to do more than record that difference;
it will never be able to explain it. So
when we are told that Shakespeare or
Goethe was the product of his time, we
need not quarrel with the Statement;
but we know that no explanation of the
fact that Shakespeare was Shakespeare
can be given. That particular individ-
uality which distinguished him from all
| other men, whether they were contem-
porary or not, cannot be explained by
referring to the age or to the environ
ment in which he ived.-PhtLGdesPh i0

AFTER POUR YEARS.


An Important ArrsSt-GOO. c. Kinney.
Suspected OF the Murder OF M. A. Hen
ry Four Years Ago, Appreciated.
On the 18th of November, 1880, n. A.
Henry, q stock dealer of Coleman,
Texas, was found dead near
the water works south of
the city. An inquest was held. which
developed the fact that the murdered
man had been stopping at the Emporia
house on the Sunday and Monday pre-
vious; that he was a stock man that he
had been to Kansas City selling stock /:
that he was known to have
some money that he was last seen
walking with two men toward where
the body was found: and that pistol
reports were heard soon after. No ar.
rest were made and the general and
probable true superstition was that the
guilty parties had gone 10 parts un-
known.
The matter had been dropped as one
of the things probable to remain shroud
ed in mystery. Last spring George C
Kinney came here to live. He worked
a. q baggage man and hack-driver tor {
while, but of late has not beer
known to be regularly employed
He has a wife and sister here. Recent
lY the officers obtained clews which
lead to suspecting him of the murde
and to his arrest Thursday. What thes'
were and whether they will fasten gull
upon him remains To be disclosed ii
the preliminary and other trials. TIL,
officers are rsticent, but have probabl
good reason for making the arrest

The agricultural returns which have
jus, been published in England present
n remarkably strange problem. The
cultivated area of Great Britain has in
creased 81, 600 acres during the current
year, and ! 1903 900 acres since 1873. vet
the period since 1878 has been the most
disastrous OF the century, and the food
Imported has increased in value from
$293, 200, 900 in 1864 To $751;, coo, 900 last
year. During this period Of increasing
cultivation of the soil there has been a
decrease Of ! ,0l 900 acres In arabic land.
and although there has been an increase
OF 2.SI5,OOO in grazing land there has
been scarcely an increase in focks
and he-ds. The number of sheen
has even been decreased 1850 600 in
spite OF the fact that the price of meat
has been constantly rising during that
period. This anomalous state of things
Is difficult to explain except upon the
theory oil greatly improved mode OF liy-
ing OF the masses. But II tends II show
that the production OF grain in the Brit.
ish Isles must decrease more aud more
every year, and that the farmers will
have toiturn their attention 10 breadiuQ

supplying the markets with fresh meat

CHRInTMAs EVE.

The Christmas eve exercises In several

cold, the interest by old and young was
such rs to bring out large number to
each church. The musical and literary
exercises were, in every instance, brief.
Most of the children and some grown
folks received presents, and all received
treats of good things. Altogether the
evening was one Of pleasure and wheth-
or the entertainment was recitation OF
song, each part was we'll received. and
whether presents came from the table OF
