these is to shut your eyes and the
other is to shut your mouth. The

room, especially late at night, and
breatlies through his mouth, will
either catch a cold or irri.ate his
lungs sufficiently to cause considera-
BILE annoyance and unpleasantness. II
he will Just keep his mouth shut and
breathe through his nose this difficulty
and danger are entirely avoided.
Nine chills out of every ten are the
result of people talking freely while
out of doors just after leaving a room
full of hot air, and theater goers who
discuss and laugh over the play on
their way home are inviting sick

shutting the eyes. Every mar who
travels a long distance gets dust or
something worse in his eye OCCASION

advice to get il out, sometimes rub
bing it and sometimes pulling m lid
over the other. The next time you
get a speck OF dust or metal in your
eye just shut it and keep it shut for
Over a minute. Nature will then
come to your relief. and there will be
enough tearlike moisture to get rid

GRATIS NEWSPAPER WORK.
Booming Public Enterprises without Re-
Enumeration or Thanks,

Knoxville Sentinel
Newspaper men are a long-suffering
tribe Next to preachers, they are more
imposed on than any other class. What
man of them can not vouch for the truth
OF this statement?
They are expected to spend their own
time and pay the printers for working up
all sorts of public enterprises without re-
Enumeration, and in many cases without
thanks.
Itissupposed that it is the duty of news
papers to serve the public gratis in such
affairs, and it is to certain extent, but
few people realize how much more than
their share the newspaper men are called
upon to contribute.
Take, for example, an entertainment to
be given for some benevolent object. The
newspaper prints good notice Of it as a
matter of news in which the public is in
terested. Its duty to its readers is then
discharged, but in order to make the en-
tertainmenta success the paper is called
upon to write the eyentup time and again
Perhaps it prints first and last two Oh
three columns to boom the undertaking
Taking into account the pay for report
ers, editors, printers, pressmen, carriers
paper, ink and other expenses, it will
probably cost the paper $25 or $50. Thc
lawyers, doctors, merchants and people
of other calings come along on the even
ing Of the entertainment and pay the ad
mission price of 20 cents or 81 each, arr
applauded for the liberal patronage anC
are supposed to have done equally a
much or more than the editor.
If the trouble ended here il would no
be so bad, for the paper would at leas
have the satisfaction Of knowing that j
had acted patriotic or charitable part
but this is only portion OF the thank
YOU work that is put upon it.
People are constantly wanting free pr
Vate advertisement. Editors are flooded
with cards OF thanks, resolutions of re
spect, obituary notices, spring poetry ant

THE FRIENDLY CATFISH.
Tho State Might Adopt 1t as our Trade
Mark Through Respect.

American Angler.l
There is species Of fish that never
looks at the clothes OF the man who casts
in the bait, fish that takes whatever is
thrown to it, and, when he once gets a
hold of the hook, never tries to shake a
friend, but submits to the inevitable,
crosses his legs and says: "Now l lay
me" and comes out on the bank and APP
pears to enjoy being taken. 1t is a fish
that is a friend Of the poor, and one that
will sacrifice itself in the interest Of hui
mauity. That is the fish that the State
should adopt as It's trade mark, and cult
vate friendly relations with and stand by.
We allude to the bullhead. The bullhead
never went back on friend. To catch
the bullhead it is not necessary to tempt
his appetite with porterhouse steak, Oh
to display an expensive lot of fishing
tackle. A pin hook, piece OF liver and
cistern pole is all the capital required
to catch a bullhead. He lies upon the
bottom of stream or pond In the muC
thinking, There is no fish that does more
thinking, or has q better head for grasp
ing great questions, or chunks of live
than the bullhead. The bullhead has
fine India rubber skin that is as far aheat
of fiddle string material for strength anc
durability as possible.
