The Best F amIy Cathartic.

For general home medicine,
Hoods Pills are unequalled. They
were prepared family use and they
have been found entirely satisfac.
tory wherever they have been used.
Their sale has gradually extended
until to-day the demand for them
leads the trade to look upon Hoods
Pills as the coming pill" They re-
lieye and cure so many troubles that
they are really a whole medicine
chest. They are mild and yet eff
hcient.

STRUCK By a CRANE.
Fireman Cameron Badly Injured at Som
erville Friday.

J. G.. Cameron, fireman on the
southbound Santa Fe local,
which reached Brennan at Z
o'clock Friday evening, was the
victim of a severe and unusual
accident just as his engine was
leaving Somerville for Brennan.
In watching for a signal from the
rear end of the train he leaned
too far out the cab window and
was struck in the back of the
head by a crane used in hosting
U. S. mail for trains that pass
without stopping.
He was brought to this place
and placed under the care of DR..
W. A. Lockett, the company's
local physician. The wound was
found to be very severe, suffi-
GENTLY deep to expose the brain,
it is feared. The wounded man
was sent to his home in Temple
on the midnight passenger, ac-
companied by Car Repairer
Nelson of this city.

chappen Hill Notes.

The correspondent of the
Houston Post sends the following
under date of Nov. 18th:
The dengue still holds its own
in the community and is assum-
ing a more dangerous form,
some of those lately attacked be-
ing sick nigh until death. 1t is
to be hoped that the killing frost
this week will stop the epidemic.
We have an old building here,
"Soule college, which stands as
a reminder of past and gone
greatness. 1t was once a large
and flourishing school under the
direction of the Methodist Epis-
copal church, as many as 100
young men attending. For some
reason, of which the Post cores
pondent is not now advised, it
was moved to Georgetown and is
now one of the most prosperous
and distinguished schools in the
State. The old college building
is fast going to wreck and ruin.

THE VAMPIRE.

From the wcman's side Inscribed to
KudyArd Kip ing by Mary Elizabeth
Lease.
A woman there was, and she gave her love,
Even as you and J,
To Pitiless beast; she thought him a man,
Loved him as only woman can,
And believing in him, her life began,
Even as you and I.
oh, the broken hearts, The ruined lives,
The madness ard despair,
Belongs to the man who knows full well
That the fame of his lust is the fuel of he'll,
But who knowing does not care.
The woman gave him honor and faith,
Even as you and 1;
And the beast; who was beast from birth,
Dragged her white young life in the slime of
cath,
Darkened her name with dishoror's breath,
Even as you and /.
CHI, the torment smoke of soul sIn-slain,
The heartache and tears and care,
Belong 10 the beast, who as owes high priest
Cared not for honor or truth in the iea-t
Slaughtered her soul and did not care.
And the woman with name of wife denied.
Even as you and I,
Was cast by the pitless world aside;
And the better nature within her died;
1t might hav, ] we'd had he but tried,
Even as you and 1.
Oh, the pitiful shame when men will blame.
And the false world place its ban
On the soul that was slain, whose tears and
pain.
Whose prayers and pleadirg wereall in vain,
Who loved beast that the world called
msn.

A Dog Fight.

Some how'erother there is a
halo of interest which always
attaches itself to a dog fight.
Let two CANNES get together at
cross purposes and every resi-
dent of the block will flock to the
scene. There are a great many
things that all men would rather
do than work and this is one OF
them. Two dogs at loggerheads
Will attract more attention and
elicit more interest and sympa-
thy than anything short of a
wedding or scandal.
The big English masiff be-
longing to Rev. George Lloyd
chewed up a fee down on Post
Office row Friday afternoon and
half the business men on that
side of town were on hand before
the first round was half over.
Like Bill Nye's dog, ''Entimol-
ogist," the flee bit off more than
he could chew, and will proba-
bly, eschew an English mastif
the next time he is called on to
choose. Why, the big fellow
took the little one in his mouth
like a terrier would a rat and
shook him until some one said il
was "terrier-ble" and another
said that would ''suf- flee, -
which on the whole was a "dog-
on" good joke, except that the
fee was mas(hed)hff without
turning a hare" which may be
denounced as rabid utterance.

A TRUE LOVE STORY.
Showing the Inconsistencies of Woman's
COnstancy and the DisappOint-
ment of a Bachelor

ment of Bachelor.
You may talk about the thrills
of novels and plays, but the
dramas of real life are up to the
best of them. When the great
story book of life is opened in
the hereafter tales of crusades
and bejewelled heroines will be
sickly beside the stories of COM
mon life and every day occur
rences. Heroes in novels and
Heading men" in plays always
get the girl they are after. In
real life they sometimes don't,
and this is one of the times.
Out in the thriving village of
William Penn resides a sturdy
bachelor who has lately learned to
his sorrow the truth of the terse
but expressive adage, "There's
many a slip 'twixt the cup and
the lip" For years he and the
girl of his choice have resided in
the same neighborhood. Many,
many times he told of his love,
and received in return the blush
ing avowal that it was recipro-
Gated. The course of true love
seemingly ran as smoothly
as a meadow brook fastening
through flowers and shubbery
and sweet-scented grasses to pay
an expectant creek its crystal
tribute. But now the babbling
brook has changed to a rushing
torrent which like a darkling
river runs down to sunless
sea. The blighting frosts of
bleak December have blasted the
budding brightness of our bach
elor's gay June prospects and
the hopes of a lifetime lie with
cred at his feet. In sweet antic-
ipation of the time when his lady
love should become the queen of
his heart and the mistress of his
home the lover set to work for
the reception of his bride. His
house was set in order and his
bachelor apartments turned over
to the enervating hands of the
painter and paper hanger. A
thousand and one little improve
ments calculated to contribute to
the happiness, pride and pleas
ure of the expected tenant were
made. Even the yard fence and
outbuildings were subjected to
coats of glistening paint. His
wedding suit was purchased and
the necessary house keeping
paraphernalia procured.
Then came the knockout blow.
Not over the solar plexus, but in
a still more vital part-the heart.
The girl who had often, oh how
often, stood with him beneath
the glittering stars and declared
her love, the girl who had assist
ed him in picking out the celes-
tial planet they would jointly in
habit when love became immor-
tai, the girl who was as constant
as gravity and as changeless as
the laws by which the universe
is governed-married another
fellow.
