AN exchange truthfully states
that the chaps who had so much fun
some time ago, cracking jokes about
Mckinley being the advance agent
OF prosperity, and observing that he
was too far ahead of the show, aren t
being heard from to any extent
nowadays, since the show caught up
to Mckinley. It's good show, too,
and every performer in it is getting
good wages and having a much bet
ter time than he did with the tagged
out, moribund Cleveland show. In
dications are excellent that the Nc
kinley show won't be disbanded for
some time to come. 1t is the most
popular production yet presented to
the people OF the United States, and
a show that will never grow old.

A NEW serum, which, it is claimed,
will show the presence of tuberculosis
long before it would be possible by
the microscope, the X-ray brother
methods now in use, has been invent
ed by DR.. r. A. Jenkins, OF Chicago.
He claimed that the use Of the serum
enabled physicians to detect the
presence of disease in the earliest
stages and in time TO effect a cure
by good sanitation and plenty OF
outdoor exercise. 1t shows whether
or not n case is true consumption,
no matter how early or light the
attack.

is Dixie Thompson. Ho raised and
harvested last year 1900 carloads of
beans. He says tho bean is tho true
American crop; that it is to takc tho
place of corn. 1t makes bigger returns,
is snrcr, moro hardy, more nutritious
and less perishablc. 1t will feed man

Raising Men In Georgia.

During the recent visit to the army

Wheeler was entertained by party
of Northern men at the De Soto,
whom, in tho good humor of after
dinner cigars, one of the gentlemen
said, laughingly =
elbow is it, General, that the sleepy
farm of the South produce such
whirlwind fighters in such small
packages ?"
"Woil, General" said the little
General, putting at a large mans
cigar, 81 bolieve I'll have to give you
the answer all old soracker' woman
once gave mo when I asked her a
similar question. Not many years
ago had occasion to make q saddle
journey through the pine barrens of
Georgia, where most everybody is Q
cracker and mighty shiftless. One
day, however, rode into little
community that showed such signs
Of thrift as to be quite out of keep.
ing with tho general character OF the
barrens, do assure you, gentlemen.
l rode up to cabin where gaunt
old woman stood in the doorway,
and asked hor who owned these little
farms that were 80 we'll kept p
"That farm on tho left belongs to
my son Jabez," said she, "and the
next ono to my boy Zalim, and the
next to my lad Jascn, and the next
is my boy potiphar's place, and"
"Hold on, sister," said I; chow
did you manage to raise such fine
lot of boys way off here in tho
woods ?"
"Wall, stranger" she answered,
81 am WILDLY woman, and all l
bad to raise 'em on was prayer and
