HOME FOLKS.

Personally, Jim Boyd, the new re-
publican judge from Western North
Carolina, is a clever sort Of fellow.
But we cannot forget his caperings
about 1859, in the Ku-klux time
linn deserted his companions then.
THAT is if he is the one we then heard
of with that name, who operated about
IGraham-or that section. We used to
hear in the long ago that somebody OF
that name turned states evidenc
AGAINST his Ku-KIux friends. We hope
it was not the newly made judge

CONDITION NEARLY NORMAL
Mrs, Castles Friends More Hopeful
wounds are Healing

The condition of Mrs. Castle Of FL
Dorado remains practically the same, al
though her friends have more hopes for
her ultimate recovery than has been ex-
pressed for several days. She seemed 10
be slightly better yesterday, as far as the
physicians could ascertain. and was in
clined 70 have more hope herself for her
recovery. The wounds on her neck are
healing up very rapidly and the doctors
seem well pleased with their appearance
The long cash on the back of her neck
which was so deep has almost entirely
healed, as have the wounds on her arms
She still breathes, however, by means Of
the tubes which have been inserted in
her neck It is thought that should Mrs.
Castle improve that it con be removed
within a short time. The most serious
wound of all is the one in the aesophagus
and this is healing up as rapidly as can
be expected. The tube which was in
serted IN this to give food to Mrs. Cas-
tie will be again put in a few days and it
IS thought that she viii have no more
difficulty in regard to choking from the
use of It.
One Of the leading citizens Of E. Dorado
was in the city yesterday and was asked
in regard TO Mrs. Castles situation. He
replied that he had been at her home at
Il O'Clock yesterday and that her con-
dition seemed to be much better than On
the previous day He said: 81 am con
fident that she viii eventually get well,
although the physicians said that she was
DYING. The wounds on her neck are heal
ing up very rapidly and it viii be only
short time until she will be able to use
the aesophagus. When she becomes able
TO do this there viii not be much ques-
ton Of her recovery. The people of Ell
Dorado are much interested in her wei
fare and everything has been done for
her that can possibly be done for anyone.
She IS a grand woman and has shown a
very rare Christian character during her
suffering"

A BIT OF SPRING.
The PensivL Poet Said the CrOcui
Is the Rooster of
Flowers.

"Do you wish any spring poetry today"
inquired long haired caller, and the lamb.
like editor reached fo his guE. The caller
saw the motion and held up his nand ap-
pealingly.
"Shoot il you will this long haired head,
but do not kill the poet dead he crooned,
softly. Did l understand you to say you
would like some spring poetry to.day!' he
added, with mild insistence.
replied the editor, "but do not liket it amy
day. There's housekeeping and moving and
a superabundance of bile and torpid livers
and influenza and enough other things to
contend with in the spring without having
any poetry showed in on us"
"But think of the kind mine u.s." insisted
the visitor; "listen," and he pulled out a
dingy looking slip of paper and read:
There bursts the jonquil from the earth
To meet the growing showers,
And there the crocus presses its plumes,
The rooster of the flowers
"What do you think of that%
''Who in thunder ever heard of flower
being rooster" queried the editor. THE

DOESN'T KNOW RIGHT HAND.
Some Women, Says This Account,
Find 1t Difficult to Distinguish
Right from Left.

In some OF the little things of life
women are absurdly ignorant, says
the Chicago Chronicle.
II saw by paper last week that a
colored woman was excluded from
testifying in court because she didn't
know her right hand from. her left,
and was. therefore. esteemed too ig-
norant for her evidence to be of any
value, said an observant Chicago
man the other day. "Now. do you
know ldon't believe one WI oman out
of six knows her right hand from her
left without stopping to consider the
matter.
Il was standing in the foyer Of 3
theater the other day at a matinee
watching the audience, mostly fem
ininc, as it passed in. Well, each
maid handed her check to the usher
and he called out: First door to the
right or Second door to the LETT as
the case might be. With hardly an
exception those girls turned in the
wrong direction; then they'd pause to
consider, eXclaim: We're going the
wrong way and skurry back again.
This happened SO often that I
spoke to the usher about it.
"'They always do it, he replied,
laconically. I usually point SO they'll
know the way, but I've neglected to
do that to-day. They're all right II
they stop to think. but they never do
think

woman who has to make little mo-
ton rs If she were writing with both
hands before she can determine the
right one, and she declares that Ill
her acquaintanccs are affected in like
manner, so. perhaps, this is general
feminine failing, and the co'ored wit
ness was uniustly excluded"

AMERICAN DUEL IN GERMANY.
A So-Callcd Affair OF Honor Be.
tween Heidelberg Students
In Fatal.

During my residence Mt Heidelberg
80 lamcntable and terrible affair took
place that threw profound gloom
over the university and the entire
town, says writer in Science. Two
German students, having quarreled,
decided the earth was not large enough
for both of them to live in, and resort
ed to the diabolical practice called the
American duel" In darkened room
the two young men drew lots. having
sworn that he who drew the black ball
would commit suicide. The unhappy
loser went to his room and discharged a
bullet into his breast, but missed his
heart, and fingered for several days
on his deathbed. His parents were
summoned by telegraph and besought
him on their knees to disclose the name
of his antagonist, but he steadfastly
refused and died with the secret locked
I'm his breast.
The students not only excused his
conduct, but praised his courage. and
when his remains were taken to the
railway station to be transported to a
distant city they accompanied the
funeral cortegc with torches and mu-
sic. The students claimed etwas not
suicide, for he was killed in an hon.
orable duel. and they maintained that
his opponent was not accessory to his
death, because he shot himself. had
many arguments with them and never
could convince them OF their extraor-
binary regeneration.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inhamed condition of the mu.
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets inhamed you have rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to it's normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine eases of of ten are caused by catarrh,
which IS nothing but an inhamed condition
OF the mucous surfaces.
