SHALL BOYS GO TO COLLEGEY
Some Are Fitted For Life, and Others Al
Untitled by College Training.

Some Are Fitted For Life, and Others Are
Untitled by College Training.
Rev. Charles H. Parkhurst, d. D., in
his paper to young mon in Tho Ladies'
Homo Journal, discusses "Shall We Send
Our Boy to College2' answering the
query with the assertion, "That depends
q great deal on the boy" He announces
himself to be thorough believer in the
college, but holds that sit might not be
best for him (our boy) to go to college;
it might not be best for tho community
that he should. College can fit man
for life, and also it can unfit him.
There are styles Of education that dis
qualify the student for doing what he is
competent to do, without qualifying
him to do that which he might like to
do, but for which he lacks and always
will lack tho prerequisites. As a general
principle, the more O man knows the
better, but so long as the present order
Of things continues great amount Of
very ordinary work will require to be
done. and ordinary people will do ordi-
nary work better than extraordinary
people will and be q great deal more
comfortable while doing it. Hordes Of
both sexes are entering college for the
reason that they do not enjoy doing
commonplace things. The result is that
commonplace things are left undone,
and uncommonplace things fare still
worse. Agriculture is the material basis
Of nations strength and prosperity.
We could dispense with either lawyers,
doctors or ministers better than we
could with farmers.
Probably we should not quarrel so
much if there were fewer students Of the
law, should not be sick so much if there
were fewer students Of medicine, and
should not be so wicked if there were
fewer students of theology. All Of these
could contribute literally to tho ranks
Of tho agriculturalists with advantage
to the professions and to the grain and
vegetable markets. am not disparag-
ing anybody, neither am saying that
it would not be good thing, in itself
considered, if every one, however ma
terial Or mental his occupation, could
receive all that the finest school or col
lege training could confer, but that is
not practicable at present and never will
be till people get over thinking that
there is disgrace attaching to the do.
ing of ordinary things. ="

The Ten Horned Texan Cow.

The Ten Horned Texan Cow.
The most wonderful of the m,Ily
Texan freaks and monstrosities that has
ever came under our notice was tho IA
nous ''ten horned Jack county cow"
This remarkable freak of nature was
born in Jack county, in the state above
mentioned, in 1887. She was literally
'horns from head to foot" At the ter
mination Of each Of her four legs, in
the place where the regulation split hoof
should have been, were monstrous crook
cd and gnarlcd horns. seemingly solid
throughout. These hoof horns were not
Of the clear and scmitransparent, finely
plicated material characteristic Of the
horns of the bovine family, but appear
cd more like rams horns than anything
else. In 1901 or 1892 these hoof horns
had grown to such Il length averaging
over 2 feet oach) that the COW was taken
off the range and sold to Mr.. Manloy
Of Paris Tex.
At that time, besides the horns which
were used III the place Of hoofs, she had
four others Oh her lcgs-one where each
"dew claw should have been. Those
dew claw horns, in addition to those
just described, make total of eight
horns, which, with the two on her head,
made tho total of ten. The man who
owned this queer beast before sho was
taken from the range, Mr.. Oliver, re-
peatodly sawed these extraordinary
growths Off, but they were so persistent
and grew so rapidly that she was finally
sold, because it was an utter impossible
ity for her to grazo and stand up on
hornlike stills which made her legs
from 10 inches to 2 feet longer than
they should have been.-St Louis Re

For your Projections Catarrh "Cures' or
TONES for Catarrh in liquid form to be taken
internally, usually contain either Mercury or
Iodide Of Potassa, or both, which are injur-
ious if too long taken. Catarrh is local, not
q blood disease, caused by sudden change to
cold OF damp weather. 1t starts in the nasal
passages, affecting eyes, ears and throat.
Gold in the head causes excessive flow Of
mucus, and, if repeatedly neglected, the re-
suits of catarrh will follow; severe pain in
the head, roaring sound in the ears, bad
breath, and oftentimes an offensive dis
charge. Theremedy should be quick to allay
inflammation and heal the membrane. Ely's
Cream Balm is the acknowledged cure for
these troubles and contains no mercury
nor any injurious drug. Price, so cents.

Useful Gum Chewing,

Even so disagreeablo a habit as gum
chewing may once in great while
serve useful purpose, Us witness an
incident narrated by the Chicago Jour
nal:
A guest was washing his ring in a
washbowl when tho diamond came out
and started for the sewer 1t could be
seen at the turn III the pipe, but was
out of reach.
The clerk of the Auditorium annex,
in which the accident occurred, ap-
peared ON the scene. He was equal to
the emergency. He called bellboy and
sent for package Of chewing gum.
When it was brought, the boy cheweG
gum as he never had before. Then put
ting the soft, plastic qaid on the end
of long lead pencil, he reached for
the diamond. His aim was true. The
diamond stuck in tho gum and was
brought out safely.

George Washington Cable was
born in New Orleans, October II
1874. He engaged In various com.
mercial pursuits, and in 1868 when
a boy of nineteen years he enlisted
in the Confederate Army, joining
the Fourth Mississippi Cavalry. He
was severely wounded, and mar
rowly escaped death. Returning
penniless to New Orleans, he wrote
for the "Picayune" and later began
to publish sketches of Creole life ir
magazines. They attracted sucf
wide attention that he gave up thu
business career, and has since ther
devoted himself entirely to litera
ture. One permanent result of hi
stories has been a number of re
forms in the contract labor system

paorEcr,on AND MONEY.

when a man tells you that pro-
tective tariff has nothing whatever
TO do with the amount Of money In
circulation you can put him down
az ignorant, or as wanting to de-
ceive you. II has q great deal to
do with the amount Of money In
circulation.
Oae Of the present causes that
sends our money to other countries,
and thus reduces the amount In
circulation, is the fact that the
balance Of trade is agaist us.
A republican tariff is a tariff that
causes what we consume to be
made at home and tends to In
crease our exports and reduce our
imports, and bring money into the
country instead of taking 1t out.
Anyone can redily see that if we
ence get the balance of trade turned
in our direction so that.when settle.
ments are made, there will be
money to ship over to us instead OF
us sending 1t away, there will be
more money for use in this country
So we say that protection is one
of the main issues of this campaign
in spite of the fact that democracy
is inclined to push it to the back
ground. 1t is no wonder they try
to do this for their theory on tariff
has so utterly failed.
A good honest republican pro
tective tariff with reciprosity will
settle the money question to the
satisfaction of a majority of oul
citizens.

gestion. No reasoning mainland

it were, and the pensioner VINO,

ance, were paid in 1t, that would
be infinitely better than the dollar
got for standing up to be shot at in
the war. The soldier was paid in
a dollar worth less than forty cents
in gold, while Mr.. Gold-Bug is now
receiving from this great govern
ment for the greenbacks gold which
the tax payers-pensiouers In
cluded-are bonded in slavery tc
pay.-Athens Post
Yes the dollar the old soldier re-
ceived for being shot at was worth
only 40 cents. Why? Because the
government issued so many that
people lost confidence in its ability
to redeem them and it was only
through the efforts of the repuoll
can party that those dollars after
ward became worth 100 cents. The
republican party is now fighting Il
