Told 10 Eat the Hog

A we'll known contractor of this town
has a son, still under 20, who has been
doing the running-away from home
act ever since he attained his twelfth
year.
The "old man" has always been call
ed upon to fetch the young chap back
from remote points.
None Of the hard luck propositions,
up against which the boy has stacked
while having fun in this way, has taught
him permanent lesson, probably for
the simple reason that he has always
found it too easy a matter to get home
by the simple process of writing his
father for the price of ticket.
He went away month ago and his
father didn't hear from him until yes
terday. Then the old gentleman got a
dispatch dated Hastings, Neb. The
message ran:
cam on the hog. Wire me $40 for
ticket home. JoE."
The old man went to the telegraph
Office, got blank and wrote the follow
ing reply: "Eat the hog Washing

A Child's Sleeping Position.

1t is not desirable to lay a baby ON its
back when sleep is wished for. Either
one side or the other is best; and, if
possible, it is we'll to accustom it first
to one side or the other, as this obviates
falling into the habit OF being able to
sleep only on one side. But a child
who is wide-awake, and of happy dis
position, so that it lies cooling to itself,
and watching the mysteries of its own
ten fingers, is all the better for being
laid on its back as the spine is thereby
kept straight and unstrained, and
growth goes on apace, just as it does
when a growing boy or girl is COM
PEELED, from accident, to spend few
weeks in recumbent position, and
finds, when allowed to get up, that
none of its clothes are long enough.

Be Attractive.

Everyone can not be beautiful, but
evryone may be lovable, and the plain
est woman can make herself attractive
if she likes. She can speak gently first
of all, but>she should remember that if
her voice is to be sweet and pleasant,
she must never forget herself and raise
it in anger, and she must never grum-
bic or speak peevishly at home. Her
manner, too, must be gentle, attractive
and sympathetic. To attain a gentle,
attractive manner she must be good
and noble, and unselfsh in reality
What she really is will shine through
her PLAIN face in time. If her soul
within is beautiful, so will be her ex-
preston and manner as the years pass.

After we had lost our battle at Sa-
masia we came down to Sychem
(Okolona) little place in a community
of not much note-a little like Nazareth
and where the devil had not fortified
so strong against pure and holy life,
and preaching full salvation.
And, though it was right in the mid
die of harvest, our congregations were
much better than at Samasia.
Dr. McWherter is a fine preacher, as
well as a good writer, and he did much
credit to his calling while here The

they just got ripe and fell off ready
for the Masters use. Everybody fel

either pray, sing, talk, cry or laugh
and we hod all going on some times a

If so, you go to fasting and praying fo

Freezing Weather in IulY

Would cause great discomfort and loss,
but fortunately it is seldom known.
A vast amount of misery is caused at
this season, however, by impoverish-
ed blood, poor appetite and general
debility. These conditions may be
remedied by enriching the blood and
toning the stomach with Hoods Sar-
saparilla. This medicine seems to
put new life into the whole physical
system, simply because of its wonder
ful power to purify, enrich and vital
ize the blood, create an appetite and
invigorate the digestive functions.

cine money can buy.

THE DEPOSITORIEs.

The three repositories have been To-
Gated at Knoxville, Nashville and jack
son, and it is presumed that the COM
mission will at once designate the
places in each county where the books
shall be sold.
The superintendent of public schools
will promulgate the information as to
the distribution of the books and in
form the patrons of the schools of the
place or places where the books will be
Sold The books will be supplied to
the dealers in the counties from the
three repositories.
As yet no place has been designated
in Chattanooga for the sale of the books
but it is likely that the leading book
stories will be selected.
GENERAL EFFECTS OF CONTRACTS.
CHM & Go. secured the contract for
supplying about 50 per cent. of the
books.
The contracts will be drawn up with
the firms whose bids were accepted at
once, and other legal formalities will
be complied with.
The commission sums up some of the
savings effected as follows: Writing
books are reduced from 10 cents per
copy to 3 and cents; spoilers reduced
from 20 to IA cents; first readers re-
duced from 25 to IS cents; second read
ers from 80 and 40 to % cents; third
readers from so to 30 cents; fourth
readers from 65 to 80 cents; and fifth
readers from 80 to AZ cents; elementary
arithmetics reducedfrom 35 to % cents,
and practical from 60 to AZ cents; geog-
raphies reduced from 55 to 40 cents,
and from $1.25 to S8 cents. The best
part of the work is that the savings are
effected without lowering the quality
of the books.
