A Good Performance.

The burlesque OF ''Pin-a-Four," a happy
satire on Gilbert & Sullivan's opera, was
presented in truly creditable form at the
Comique last evening. The catchy airs
and clever parodies were received with IA
yor. Miss Ida Gardner, Camille Kenyon,
Lizzie Arnold, John Jess, Billy Arnold and
Sam Holdsworth carried off the honors of
the evening. To Miss Gardner is due the
success OF the play, as she has been untir-
ing in her energies in relearsing the COM
to the standard of excellence that
characterized last nights performance.
The balance of the entertainment was

EXCELLENT RULES.

Good Manners Are Thoughts Filled With
Kindness and Refinement.
Be rude to none; Yudeness harms
not even the humblest and poorest to
whom it is directed, but it Injuries the
exhibitors.
Never urge another to do any thing
against his desire unless you see
danger before him.
Always give preference to elders,
visitors and superiors. Offer them the
best place at the table. the best place
by the fire and the first of every
thing. Go farther than mere form and
see that they are comfortable and
happy.
Be not ostentatious in dress or de-
pertinent; nothing can be more vul-
and occasion.
Never try to outshine. but to please.
Do not ask another to do what you
would not be glad to do under similar
circumstances.
Do not make witticisms at the ex-
pense of others which you would not
wish to have made upon yourselves.
Never talk or laugh aloud in public
places or upon the street.
Never treat superiors with servility
nor interiors with arrogance. Speak as
kindly to day-laborer as to one occu-
plying high position.
Never needlessly ewound the vanity
of another or dilate unnecessarily upon
disagreeable subjects.
Never intrude ill health, pains,
losses or .misfortunes.
Never omit to perform kind act
when it can be done with any reason
able amount of exertion.
Never unavoidably wound the feel
ings of human being.
Never forget that vulgarity has its
origin in ignorance or selfishness.
Remember that good manners are
thoughts filed with kindness and re-
fnement. and then translated into be-
havior.-Good Housekeeping.

COURTING IN CALABRiA.

The SuitOr Makes Only One Visit and Never
Talks of Love.
In Calabria the middle and higher
classes do not marry for love. When
Calabrese thinks of taking wife he
has list made of all the young girls in
the neigeborhood. with their expecta-
ton. etc. In some family only one
son can take wife, for economical
reasons. Fathers and mothers of
marriagable girls know this, and warn
their daughters not to cast eyes on
any but the marrying sons. Only the
eldest sons are allowed to marry in
many families. The others may make
love, but they must never think of
marrying.
When the eldest son has decided to
take wife he takes notes of all the
girls of his position in the neighbor-
hood, and when he has selected one
who he thinks might suit him he begs
permission to pay the family visit.
Then, and not till then, do the perhaps
future husband and wife see each
other for the first time, and the whole
future of their two lives depend on
that one visit No sutton can present
himself alone on such occasions. He
must be accompanied by a friend to
stand by him and sing his praises. The
girl, if she have a mother. sits by her
side and keeps her eyes on the ground
all the time. If she have no mother.
near relative or friend takes the
mothers place.
The subje ct of love or marriage is
not once alluded to. Every thing else
may be talked of, but not the subject
of the call. Coffee. wine. sweetmeats
and biscuits are offered. and then if
the girl pleases, the sutton finds the
way of getting little closer to her.
and perhaps pays her little compli-
ment. The parents and friends then
all plunge into conversation. so as to
allow the two to say word or two to-
gether without restraint. A second
trial visit is not allowed; this first
must decide the question. Before a
second is made the offer must be made
and accepted, and the two meet as be-
trothed. journal.

am indebted for SO great SERVICE"
Jean said. when they were parting.
IF you feel that you are indebted to
any body. you may give the credit to
Lem Melton"
With that he touched his hat and
walked away
''Oh. dear! dear!" Clarissa cried
when Jean came in. what in the
world have you been up to now? What
have you done?"
Nothing; only fell in the river"
LAS if that was not perfectly awful!
How did it happen?"
Jean told the whole story, including
her rescue, and wound up by giving a
glowing description of her rescuer.
Clarissa listened with a horror-stricken
face. and neither she nor Jean noticed
the peculiar smile and the satisfied
look that came over Aunt Martha's
face.
II am truly mortified. JEAN"
Clarissa protested, THAT such a thing
should happen to us. 1 do wish you
could act little more like a sensible
girl. and if we must stay in this out
abOu1 the woods like u wild thing.

I'm sure he was perfectly gentle

how. well born or bred, could have

''Oh. no. suppose not. and I sup
pose that you will not stop short of
making great hero out of him."
Clarissa. overcome by the terrible
shock to her sensitive nature, arose
and left the room.
do you think I have done any
thing so very bad, Aunt?" Jean asked.
mo. think not. Still you should
be little more careful. or some day
when you needed a hand to rescue you
there might not even be a farmer to
lend it"
During the following month Clarissa
continued to fret and fume, while Jean
kept up her rambles. always finding
something new and something of in
terest. Several times she declared to
her aunt that she would never be able
to repay her for all the pleasure of the
stay in the country.
''Never mind, my DEAR" the good
old lady once said. II had a little pro-
ject on foot when / came here, little
scheme that kept from you and Cla-
rissa, and if that works out right, ]
shall be we'll paid for all I've done,
and you will find that this visit meant
more than you now dream of it's mean
ing
: Lem Melton came often to the house
where the girls were staying. In the
outset Clarissa snubbed him so effect
ually that he never again sought her
society.
The idea," she cried, ''of that boor
trying to force himself into my pres
ence! It is ridiculous"
Jean. however, thought differently.
and many times she and Lem prom
enaded of evenings on the lawn. The
aunt offered no objection, and as he
appeared to be a perfect gentleman,
Jean saw no harm in keeping COM
pany with Lem.

CAUSES OF THUMBS.

Serious Swine Disease Nearly Always
Preceded BY a Cough.
Thumps or heaves have a cause and
are the result of different causes; and
in the treatment of this disease as in
the treatment of any disease the cause
should be ascertained and removed.
A writer in the National Stockman OBJ
serves that in his experience he has
found that when he fed the SOW heavi-
ly upon carbonaceous -fat-forming-
foods, the best and latest pigs in the
litter would likely have the thumps
and die. That is another charge
against excessive corn feeding. He
attributes the trouble directly to lack
of exercise. He said that a well-fed
pig is lazy one and will not take suf-
ficient exercise, causing the fat to lay
ON, rapidly followed by indigestion
and constipation. The accumulations
of fat press on the heart and interfere
with the respiratory organs, which
causes the heaving in the TANKS called
heaves or thumps. Well. it is too
much fat producing food. That is all
there is to it If the pigs are still
sucking, this gentleman reduces the
sow's rations and gives more laxative
food. with IAN occasional dose of sui
phur to cool the blood" The purpose
sought to be accomplished is all right.
but we do not see that sulphur will
cool the blood. At all events proven
ton is better than cure, and it is much
better to keep the blood cool from the
beginning, and this can be accomplished
in a measure at least by feeding
much larger proportion of bone and
muscle-forming foods than is usually
fed to the SOW. elf the pigs are too
young to drink. one drop of turpen-
tine and one drop of nux vomica should
be given each day for three or four
dose" The trouble may come to
young or older pigs from exposure or
lying in dusty beds.
Stockers, the writer says, are often
subject to attacks of thumps on &C
count of worms, and in all cases he
believes the subject will be consti-
pated. In treating subject of this
kind the giving of actual experience
has much weight with persons inter-
ested. He refers to two hog growers
having twenty years experience; one
was troubled with it when large sows
had small filters. The pigs then took
the thumps because they had too much
and too rich milk; he overcame the
disease by giving physic. The other
had been troubled more or less with
the disease. and found turpentine and
castor oil the most effective remedies.
The castor oil operating on the bowels,
the turpentine acting as diuretic;
also affecting the spinal column. stipu-
1ating the nerves and aiding respira-
tien. In nearly all cases when thumps
are developed in pigs under three
months old they are caused by too
liberal feeding of rich foods. After
that age by colds. dusty and filthy
beds and intestinal worms Thumps
are nearly always preceded by .
cough, except in very young pigs
Barton County democrat. [volume] (Great Bend, Kan.) 1885-1915, 1889-11-07

Thus it went on until it was quite
apparent, even to a casual observer,
that a sentiment stronger than friend
ship had sprung up between Jean and
Lem. Clarissa saw it, and one day
took occasion to say:
s'Jean, you have allowed yourself to
fall in love with that farmer, just as I
supposed you would, and now the next
thing you will be for marrying him.
You may not believe it, but that is
what you are leading to as fast as you
can CO."
1--WE are not only leading to it. Cla-
rissa. but we have reached that point.
Lem and / are already engaged and
we are going to be married next
month"
For some time Clarissa was too agi-
tated to speak. but after awhile she
said. calmly enough:
$50 that's what comes of aunt's
great generosity. She might much
better have left us at our work, for
then we should have maintained our
responsibility. As it is you have done
just what l expected you would do,
brought shame on US both, and l hope
YOU are satisfied. 1 wash my hands of
you from this time forth. To think of
you marrying farmer. and he moth
ing more than Mr.. Browns hired hand
at that"
AUNT says it is all right. Clarissa,
and am willing to trust her judgment
and the dictates of nay own heart"
The wedding day came round. and
after the ceremony Lem proposed that
they go on tour. The aunt and
Clarissa were invited to accompany
the couple. and the former accepting
forced the latter to accept also. The
next morning they were driven to the
station, and boarding a train were
whirled away to the south.
After ride of several hours they
alighted at beautiful little city, and
taking carriage that appeared to be
in waiting, they were driven through
the town and out into the suburbs,
where they were set down in front of
a fine, modern mansion.
Walking up the wide, graveled way
Lem threw the door open and ex-
claimed:
Welcome. my wife. to your new
home, welcome. dean friends, in the
name Of both myself and wife.
Jean looked from her husband to her
