WHY 1T DIDN'T WORK.

Dad Might Be an Authority on Old-Timo
Fights, But Failed in New Methods.
so you've had fight, have your
said the old man,
The boy was so badly out o.. breath
that it was a minute or two before he
could get wind enough to say Yep,
and somehow the old man didn't seem
to regard the breathlessness as a par
ticularly suspicious omen.
Did you lick him." he asked.
init" replied the boy, with that bril-
liancy of repartee that is peculiar to
boys.
81 guess you didn't follow your poor
old fathers advice, said the old man.
81 suppose you thought you knew more
about it than he ever had chance to
learn and went at the other fellow with
some new-fangled uppercuts or swings,
or something of that sort, and let him
get in under your guard while you were
figuring out the scientific points of some
new blow. Science is all right, sup
pose, in a fight by rounds where there
have been all the usual preliminaries,
but I've seen the time when a scientific
fighter would get the tar licked out of
him willie he was getting his science
ready for use. Now, when was a boy
and saw there was fight coming on
] aimed to get in the first blow"
THAT'S my way" said the boy.
at is, eh?" returned the old man
well, don't see how a boy can get
licked If he goes in on that system,
unless he's too easy with the first blow.
l tell you, when | was a boy" and the
old man began to get excited, "my aim
was to swipe him first ard swipe him
hard. I'd just land him one over the
eye or under the chin and it would be
all over. You see, when you paste a
fellow in the ear you want to paste
him hot one, and then"
"And then suppose he lands on a
brick pile" interrupted the boy.
"W-What?" asked the old man, rather
startled.
Suppose he lands on a brick pile
when you hit him and gets up with a
half brick in each hand, what's the
next move in the system that never
failed when you were boy?"
my boy" said the old man, severely,
after a minute of thoughtful, calm
consideration of the subject, lighting
is bad business at best, and | am
surprised that you should expect your
father to give you advice that would be
sure to lead you into trouble and very
likely would tend toward the cultiya-
ton of boisterous, quarrelsome dis
position. Now, run out and play and
don't bother me any more."-Chicago

Into saucepan place three pints of
water, and while it is heating CRATE one
tablespoonful each of carrot, turnip
and celery. Add this, with two table
spoonfuls of canned tomatoes and one
teaspoonful of grated onion and salt
and pepper to taste, to the water when
it boils. Cover and boil briskly for five
minutes, then dissolve in it one tea
spoonful of extract Of beef. Strain and
serve. This quantity is sufficient for
three or four persons and can be pre-
pared and served in IS minutes from
the beginning. This is also nice for a
late supper, when one returns from a
late sleigh-ride or other pleasure Of the
kind that makes the need of something
hot very evident, as it is warming, nour-
ishing, snd easily digested. - Toledo

There will be greatly increased cot
ton acreage planted in Sunnower county
t5is year. Preparations and supplies
for new plantations are everywhere
visible, large numbers OF mules are
being purchased, and hands from every
whore they can be obtained are coming
in every day. The Yazoo & Delta Rail-
way has opened up vast country as
fertile as the Nile Thousands of acres
that never before felt the ruthless hand
OF the planter will this year go TO swell
the receipts OF the king Of products.
There can be but one result, and that
low prices Increased acreage will al
ways make low prices, whether the de-
mand for the raw material be small or
great. Our planters should put in corn
enough for all purposes and then plant
the balance of their land in cotton.
This would be economic and money

The divided Pompadour is considered
a very becoming style, and, with the
soft rolls Of waved hair on either SIDE,
is pleasing fashion for those whose

There is a steady demand for hosiery
with black ankles and feet and colored
