Jenkins down. Jenkins up" For this SIX
players are required, though later more

There is a man in the city. who while
in the west some months ago, lost his
voice through a spell Of illness. He could
only speak in a whisper when be came
home. A friend advised the use of wills
key with oak bark in it. The gentleman
proceeded to procure pint of the beverage
and took it without any visible effect. \
second prescription of the same kind was
procured, and the task of taking it COM
menced. One day the invalid strangled on
his dose. In fit of coughing he dislodged
what seemed to be a ball of oak bark from
some part Of his anatomy, and his voice
Immediately returned with full power
There Is no immediate danger of any
voices being lost in this place, as it would
be very difficult to obtain either of the in
gredient to the prescription.

"A WORD FOR THE TEACHER.

To the Editor OF the Eagle.
For the last two weeks, article after

four children attending the different public
schools, and have been thinking what a
grand thing our schools are, aud how well
disciplined Now, we learn through your
columns that we have been mistaken
during the past twenty years.
Don't you think that if some Of these
people that are continually abusing the
poor school teachers. would take the time

don't have much business during the
winter months, will lie in bed too late in
the morning TO make 1t possible for she

SERIOUSLY HURT.

Mr.. Howard Hardy, who runs livery
stable at SO3 North Main, was leading a
horse along side walk yesterday, walking
on the walk and the horse in the gutter.
Mr.. Hardy in some manner stepped into
hole where a board had been removed
from the walk which caused him to fall
and hurt his hip severely. A carriage was
secured and Mr. Hardy taken to his home
on North Waco and physician summon
ed. The hurt was very painful and it is
feared that the hip joint is dislocated. Mr..
Hardy is quite an old man, which makes
the matter mora serious than it might be
for young man.

A GOOD ONE.

4 dispatch from Caldwell TO a gentle
man in this city yesterday, reported the
finding Of the skeleton of mastodian on
the Canadian river by party of hunters
who were down in the territory. The
skeleton was said to be almost perfect and
some Of the smaller bones were brought
up by the hunters. The jaw bones meas
ured three feet in length. The skeleton
was said to have measured twenty-one
feet long and nearly eighteen feet from the
ground to the top Of the back.
Should this find become known gener-
ally, fossil hunters viii, no doubt invade
that new country in search of other curiosi-
tics
