The Greedy Pig.

II y farmyard old there lived II pig,
With brisllcs black as ink,
And all the day, so I've Heard say,
lie did nothing but eat and drink.
At length lie ate so very much
That lIc grew remarkably stout,
and there he would lie in front OF the sty,
Too lazy 10 waddlc about.
One day the farmer spicd him out,
And piggy was straightway taken,
And soon. alas! ii came 10 pass
He was turned into streaky bacon.
o fat pig! o black pig!
And pig with the curly tail
Why, why did you stuff when you'd had quit
enough
And leave me your fate to bewail?

How He Obtains His supper and at tho
Same Time Aids the Farmer.
AS may be seen from the picture here
given hctoad is neither beautiful nor grace
full. His stomach is too large TO get through
the door of polite society, and vet Mr. Toad
is the respected friend of everybody inter
ested in agriculture. The farmers make
friends with him and give him home in
their gardens, all because innumerable bugs
and beetles that would otherwise DESTROY
the crops disappear down that great throat
and are never heard of again.
Did you ever see a toad catch and cat his

of these little fellows pulling himself out

awhile and you will find him with his fat,
chunky body ilattcned ont so as to seem
literally pasted to the ground. While YOU
are still gazing in wonder there will occur
Il lightning change. He will launch him
self like an arrow into Il tuft of grass, COB

insect and then quickly and meckly hop
back on the walk the same rotund, stupid
looking object as before. In this man
ncr he not only feeds himself but, us have
already told you, rids the garden of many
insect pests.
Instead of being the stupid, slow moving
animal many thoughtless persons suppose
him TO be, the toad is in reality as cunning
as Il cat and twice as active. Therefore we
say good luck TO the toad He is all right.
DO not destroy him, but let him dwell in

22d section, page 251, Of acts 1889 90,
elating to the sale Of ardent spirits by

Judge Moffett explained the law as
follows: II the druggist sells for medi
cal purposes only without prescription
he violates the law. If he sells on the
prescription of any regularly licensed
practicing physician. and the ardent
spirits are not for medical purposes he
is guilty OF violation of the law if he
has evidence that the ardent spirits are
not for medical purposes; but as a regu-
lar presc Upton is prima facie evidence
that the ardent spirits are for medical
purposes there must be evidence over
riding this presum ption which evidence
must be brought home TO the druggist.
For instance if a prescription for Eve
gallons OF ardent spirits is filled in the
morning and the pres :ription directs
half glass to be taken after each meal,
and the druggist is requested to fill the
same prescription and cask on the even.
ing of the same day, this fact is su fiji
cient to override the presumption in his
favor, and if the first cask has been
drunk, the filling of the c4sll the second
time on the same day is clear case Of
violation of law.

Dressmakers and seamstresses.

MOODY'S NEW IMPROVED
TAILOR SYSTEM and combination
of squares for dress cutting, Is fast
suppressing other systems, because it
is so simple and perfect that it can be
learned in one tenth the time of any
other system ever invented. With 1t
you cut every nameable garment worn
by ladies and children. Every draft
is made directly on the cloth, not re-
quiring the use of paper or patterns
and to those willing to take lessons at
once, we have decided to teach limit
ed number free Of charge; they pay
only $3.50 tor the system. This offer
should be accepted at once, otherwise
it would be Withdrawn. This system
is the only one patented in 1892, in
six months over $4,000 have been sold
almost suppressing every other dress
cutting system OH the market. The
leading dress makers have adopted it
everywhere, it being so simple and
perfect the thousands of ladies and
young girls who have taken the ad-
VANTAGE of learning to cut and make
their own dresses at the nominal ex-
pense of ONLY $3.50, HAVE SAID
that MOODY'S NEW SYSTEM was q
God send to all women, because with
it q lady can cut and make her own
dresses and those of her children. and
by so doing she saves FULLY so Per
cent of her entire dressmaking expen-
ses, OF COURSE the old dress cutting
systems arc so complicated and hard
TO learn that but few ever learn to cut
by them, though they invest SIS $40 or
even more. With MOODYS NEW
SYSTEM we positively guarantee to
teach you more in one day than can
be taught by any other system in one
full week. We know just what we
are talking about, we have had over
20 years experience and do not make
a statement we will not support; if
you cannot learn to cut and make
dress by MOODY'S NEW SYSTEM
to fit without changing seam in less
than one tenth the time required to
learn any other system ever invented
we will pay for your time while learn

The rumor to the effect that the
suit of Miss Adeline V. Pollard against
Representative Breckinridge for $780,
900 for breach of promise will be COM
prised aud settled outside of court Is
not generally credited among those
best acquainted with the facts and
circumstances of the case as well as
with the parties to the sut. In fact
the rumor is fatty denied in Washing
ton d. c., where the case ia now pend
Ing in the courtf and where so much
speculation has been INDUCED in con-
corning its financial outcome, In con-
yersation on the subject of the pro-
posed compromise, Col. Phillip B.
Thomson, Attorney for Mr.. BreekIn-
ridge, said; Il have heard nothing of
that If such a report has become
current it has been spread about with
no foundation. We have made no adj
vsnces looking toward a settlement
out of the court"
Miss Pollard could not be seen as
she is said to be visiting friends in
Kentucky. Representative Breckin-
ridge is also in Kentucky.

The society event of the season will

evening, December 80, Mt Ghlo's opera
house.
Niobo is now in its fourth season
in this country aud is under the same
management (Messrs. Abbott aud Til

years ago. No play either on the farce
or legitimate order ha9 ever made the
success that Niobe has II has been
produced in all the leading cities and
last season was taken to Portland,
Ore, San Francisco and all the west
ern cities. In each place the verdict
was the same-crowded houses and
the best of satisfaction. Niobe has
proven q money maker from ito first
production, and with the expense of
the good actors and actresses employ
ed in its production one can easily see
that the receipts must be large in or
der TO meet tho great expenses attach
ed to it. Messrs. Abbott and Tillot-
son have always had the best people
in the profession, and this season the
company is by far the best Niobe has
ever had Niobe will return to New
York in May, where long run has
been arranged in one Of the leading
theatres Those who have never seen

formauce in this city, as no doubt this

Topeka, December 26.-It is rum

president of the Atchison, Topeka s.

ceiver of the Santa Fe system. In re-
gard to Robinson's appointment the
only Santa Fe official accessible at

or not it would be the most rational
appointment, and he would be the act
i've manager of the Western interests
of the road"
"Did Mr.. Magoun's death have any
thing to do with the receivershipp
Mr.. Wilson was asked.
Nothing whatever. The papers had
been drawn long before and 1t was
simply a question of whether Mr..
Reinhart could get the money at the
beginning of the year. When it was
found that he could not get it when
he needed it seemed to be the best for
all that receivership be asked for.
No, Mr.. Magouns death did not hasten
or delay the arrangement"
"Can you give any information as
to how long the receivership is likely
to last"
None whatever. You know the
receivers are friendly to the road and
are to conduct its business for the
best interests for all concerned Mat
ters are IN excellent shape for road
III a receivers hands and we shall in
crease the capacity Of the road for
business as fast as there is business
to justify it. We make improvements
that the owners of the road could not
on account of Its financial troubles.
There are betterments that should and
will be attended to. For myself, !
shall open an Office in Topeka. sup

SCHOOL SHOES

For school wear. Now is the time to get
them and the A. s. DeLamar, shoe store,
East Broad Street, is the place. There
may be question about what school
books to use in Texarkana, but there isn't
room for the shadow OF doubt what
shoes to wear in going to school. Unques-
tlonably the shoes that fit best, wear best
and look best are always to be had at A.

be found lacking in any of these points
and Young America is surer OF better
fit, with a better shoe for lower price at
our store than they are elsewhere. Such
