YOUNG FOOLS.
We Have Them Here In Cape Girar-

where,

"hCECs
Cape Girardeau, as we'll as other
cities and towns in the country, has its
kids who make habit of chasing GU
after every little girl in town or coun-
try whose petticoats reach below their
knees, with the purpose of inaicting
matrimeny upon some poor rictim.
A raw boy with dollar present or
prospective, sparkling a girl regularly
and talking about marrying, is spec
tacle for gods and man, He should
be reasoned with and if be will not
quit it until he is able to support a
wife, and to know who he loves, and
knows the difference between love and
chieken-pox, he should be quaran-
tined against or put in an institution
erected purposely for such cases
Nine-tenths of the unhappy marriages
are the result of green human calves
being allowed to run at large in the
society pasture without yokes on
They marry and have children before
they have moEstaches-theya are faith
ers of twins before they are props'iet-
ors of two pairs of pants, and the
little girls trey marry are old women
before they are two2ty.
Occasionally one of these gosling
marriages turns ,0ut all right but it
is a clear case of luck. If there was
a law against gsloots cour6ng and
marrying before they cut their 'e3e
teeth we suppose the little cusses
would evRde it iu some way, but there
ought to be a war against it. 1t is
time endGlgh fer these baatams to
think of finding a pullet when they
have raised enough by their 0wrwsrk
to buy q bundle of laths to auild:e hen
house
Let society give these kids IA set
back. They ave too fresh for their
experience in lie.

The Coming Woman

Who goes to the club while her hus-
band tends the baby, as well as the
good old-fashioned woman who locks
after her home, will both at times get
run down in health. They will be
troubled with loss of appetite, head
aches, sleeplessness. fainting or dizzy
spells. The most wonderful remedy
for these women is Electric Bitters.
Thousands of sufferers from Lame
Back and Weak Kidneys rise up and
call it blessed. 1t is the medicine for
women. Female complaints and Nerv-
Gus troubles of all kinds are soon re-
heved by the use of Electric Bitters.
Delicate women should keep this
remedy on hand to build up the system

Hector Lanes Cotton Crop Estimate

FORT WORTH, Tex. November 70.
Hector ID. Lane, of Alabama, presi-
dent of the American Growers As
sociatiOn. is Just concluding a trip
through the cotton belt of Texas and
the Indian Territory, gathering ma
terial for a statistical report on this
year cotton crop. He thinks that the
general crop OF the South this year
will exceed that of 1896, and he ap-
proximates the number of bales at TO-
100000. He found the largest crops in
North Texas. Indian and Oklahoma
Territories. and the biggest increase
in acreage in the territories. Lane
speaks very highly of the production
on the new lands there, and regards
that section as the coming cotton
country of the world. He looks upon
present values as too low, consider
ing the statistical position of cotton,
based upon the small surplus carried
over and the general commercial con-
ditions.

HypnOtfsn.

We find in the Boston Daily Globe
of October 18th an article on this sub
iect, too long for us to print, in which
it is stated that a hypnotizirg craze
has broken out among school boys in
Eau Claire, Wisconsin, which has as
sumed such proportions thatthc school
authorities have issued an order that
all pupils in the public schools must
stop hypnotizing or be expelled, sew
eral of the boys having been hypno-
tized By other boys.
As we have said in previous num-
bers of this paper. it is high time that
this hypnotizing business should be
thoroughly examined by our scient-
lists, and a warning to the public
against it be published by every news
paper in this country Our Dumb
Animals.

Nugget in Corn.

Tons RTNER. n. j., November 49,
Charles Wainwright, of this town, the
proprietor of flour mill, thinks there
is no necessity of his going to the
klOndike region, as the Klondike pro-
duct seems to be coming to him with
out any trouble on his part. a few
days ago Mr.. Wainwright received a
car load of Western corn, and while
he was grinding it he noticed that
something was wrong with the heavy
process rollers. He stopped the ma
chinery to investigate and found a
nugget that looked just like gold had
come through the hopper with the
corn. He took the nugget to local
jeweler, who unhesitatingly pronoun-
ed it to be native gold. 1t weighed
nineteen pennyweights and eighteen
grains, and Mr.. Wainwright was of
fered SIS for it, but preferredto keep it
asa curiosity. Where the gold came from
is a mystery, but Miller Wainwright
inclines to the belief that some of the
Western farmers who had such a
bOuntiful harvest this summer are
sending thanksgiving offering of
gold.

Female Consular Agent.

WASHINGTON, Nov lS.-For wh8t
is believed TO be the fest time in the
history of this Government, woman
is acting as its representative abroad.
Secretary Sherman approved to day
the request of J. Adolphe Guy, Con
sular Agent of the United States in
Edmundst9n, n. B., &or two weeks
leave and appointed Emma Hart to aet
as Consular Agent during his ali
sence.
Miss Hart probably will have very
little business to attend to during her
term Of Office. 1t is said at the State
Department that if she takes in more
than $40 the officials Will believe that
the natural gallantry of the New
Brunswickians has caused them TO
neutrality-suspicious. and Consulates
to secure the services Of Miss Hart in
transactiug their business. During
the fiscal year ending June 30, 1896,
the official fees taken in by the Con-
sular Agent amounted to S462.50. No
notarial fees were received and no
salary is attached to the Office.
