A ROSE WHIST PARTY.
Novel Idea for a Social Evening-Dainty
Prizes Given Pertaining to the Rose.

Novel Idea for a Social Evenfng-Dainty
Prizes Given Pertaining to the Rose.
Any novel idea which will help to
solve that difficult question of how to
entertain number of guests is always
a welcome suggestion, and one very
pretty form of entertainment is rose
whist party.
To begin with, the invitations are
sent out on pale pink paper, and an
nounce that rose whist is to be the Or
der of the evening. The game played
is that familiar one of progressive
whist, with the exception that each
player keeps account for herself of all
the red cards which are taken, and
nothing else is counted. When the
time is up for the fortunate player who
holds the most red cards takes the first
prize, while the one who has the least
gets the ''booby."
The prizes should all be something
pertaining to the rose. Numerous ar
ticles can be thought of, such as rose
bowls, rose candlesticks, rose sachets,
bottles of rose perfume, bonbonnieres
with candied rose leaves, etc. Upon
each table are placed four full-grown
La France or Mermet roses, with long
stems and green leaves, as well as a
dainty dish filed with pink and white
bonbons. Each player also has a
tally card of pink paper and pink
pencil attached for keeping the
score.
The ices served are pink and white,
and the supper table should be grace
fully draped with pink ribbons, with
rose petals strewn about on the cover.
In fact, roses in profusion should be
everywhere, and the lights should be
softly shaded in pink.
This can be made a very pretty form
of amusement, and ones own ingenui-
ty could suggest many more features
to make it a great success. It would
be an added attraction if the hostess
were dressed in a rosepink gown

What Allied the Speech.

At the close of one of the sessions in
the trial of Warren Hastings, when
most of those engaged had gathered in
the ante-room, DIR. Parr stalked up and
down the room in his pedantic, pom
pous way, growing out praises of the
speeches of Fox and Sheridan, but say
ing not word about Burke's.
Burke, sensitive at this omission,
and anxious for some commentator
from the great authority, could at
last contain himself no longer, and
burst out:
doctor, didn't you like my speech?''
"No, Edmund" replied Doctor Parr,
calmly cycling his excited questioner.
"Your speech was oppressed with met
aphor, dislocated by parenthesis, and
debilitated by amplifcation?'-Y Youths

A MIRACLE IN TEXAS.
Inve stigated by the Texas Chris

bury.

Our representative has made careful in
vestigation of the H. E. Spaulding case at
Longview, which is here published for the
first time, and which will be read with great
interest by medical men everywhere. In
reply to the Christian Advocates questions
Mr.. Spaulding said: About eight years ago
while running locomotive l contracted
sciatic rheumatism in my left side from
my hip down. 1t came on slow but sure
and in a few months lost control en-
tirely of that member, it was just the same
as if it was paralyzed was totally unable
to move out of my room for a year and O
half, six months of which time was bed
ridden. I tried every remedy suggested,
and had regular physicians in constant at
tendance on me. was bundled up and sent
to Hot Springs where spent three months
under the treatment of the most eminent
specialists, all of which did me no good,
and came back from the springs in worse
condition than when / went. l came
homo and laid fat on my back and
suffered tho most excruciating agonies,
screaming in pain every time any
body walked across the room, the only ease
obtained being from the constant use of
opiates. After three months of this kind
of agony, during which time my entire left
leg persisted away to the very bone, my at
tention was called to a new remedy called
DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People, by
Mr.. Allison who is now train dispatcher at
Texarkana, and who was relieved of loco
motor ataxia of twenty years duration. At
his urgent and repeated solicitation [ con-
sented to give them a trial, after taking
few doses began to improve. I continued
taking the pills and kept right on improving
until was finally cured. Ny leg is just the
same size now as the other one, and l am
sure that Pink Pills not only cured me but
saved life.
The reporter next visited DR.. G. 81. STAINS
bury, a graduate of one of the medical
schools Of Kentucky, and man who en-
Joys the confidence Of everybody in Long
view. He said ~ know that Mr.. Spaulding
had a terribly severe attack of sciatic rheu-
matism of which tried to cure him; used
everything known to my profession in vain
and finally recomm ended him to go to Hot
Springs. He came back from the springs
worse than when he went and thought it
was only matter of time until his heart
would be affected and he would die. also
know that his cure is the direct result of
the use of Dr. Williams Pink Pills"
'"That is rather an unusual statement for
q regular physician to make, doctor"
81 know it is, but a fact is fact, and
there are hundreds of people right here in
Longview who know what l say is the
truth. I also know Mr.. Allison and know
that he was relieved of a genuine and severe
case of locomotor ataxia of twenty years
standing"

WHEAT FOR ANIMAL FEEDING

Secretary Morton Says 1t Is Better Thar
Corn at the Same Price.
WASHINGTON. Dec. 20.-The feeding
of wheat to animals has become Sc
general throughout this country thai
requests are now constantly received
at the agricultural department for in
formation as to the best methods OF
feeding that grain to cattle, hogs and
other animals. In discussing the sub.
jecJ Secretary Morton said:
Wheat value as an animal food is great,
But the wheat must be used carefully, and
with due regard to the habits and environ
merts of the animals, and the forage feed
accompanying it. Growing and fattenina
animals are found to thrive upon it. The
profit in feeding wheat when that cereal
and corn are at the same price is greater
than in feeding the latter. Wheat weighs Z
per cent heavier than corn. Wheat is, weight
for weight, equally good for fattening animals
and better for growing animals. The pork
from that feeding is pronounced superior to
any other. The feeding should be begun by
giving very small quantities to the animal. II
should be mixed with chopped hay or with
