Baltimore SUM-: A big, good-natured
farmer was awaiting the suburban
train, accompanied by q handsome
Gordon setter. Two sons Of Britain
stood near him. The dog strayed away
from his owner, who a reading a
newspaper.
Hey" called the farmer. "Come
here, Locksmith," and the dog imme-
diately ran to his feet.
One of the Englishmen approached
the farmer.
May l ask" he said. what you
called that dog?"
"Locksmith," SAID the farmer.
"And, why, pray?"r
Because every time I kick him he
makes a bolt for the door"
There was a general laugh, in which
the Engljshman Joined.
When he returned to his companion
he remarked:
Most extraordinary name that mar
over there calls hts dog"
"What?" asked his friend.
"~Locksmith," replied the first Briton
"And why such a name?"
Because, he says, every time he
kicks i'm he bolts for the door,"

EXHAUSTION OF NERVE FORCE
IS COMMON I'm SPRINGTIhE
Paine's Celery
Compound
Banishes Nervous ProstratiOn,
Hysteria and Sleeplessness

Any intelligent man or woman can
easily detect victims of nervous
troubles by taking a ten minute
walk on any of the crowded streets
of our cities or towns. The observer
will note countenances full of fever
ish anxiety, harassed looks, un-
steady hands, faltering steps,
twitching muscles, pallid faces, and
startled, anxious looks when un-
usual noises are made. Such people
are, without doubt, victims of nerv-
Gus prostration, hysteria, or insom-
MIA. The whole system sutfers-the
brain, the spinal cord and the SYM
pathetic system.
1t is unnecessary to dilate minute
~ on the causes of nervousness.
Business cares and appointments,
haste after riches and honors, social
and household worries, sexual and
alcoholic excuses, watching and
anxiety, and loss of near and dear
ones, all contribute to the breaking
down of the nervous organism of
men and women.
In earnest words we set before
this afflicted class the truth that
Paine's Celery Compound affords a
speedy and sure cure for all forms
of nervous diseases. The great
medicine is a perfect restorer of
nerve force and power; sure builder
and strengthener of the weak and
debilitated system.
Paine's Celery Compound has en-
ahled thousands in every city and
town of our land to renew and In
vigorate their health and keep their
places in business and in society.
In all large centres where nervous
diseases are common, the best
physicians prescribe Paine's Celery
Compound with continued success.
\ few bottles of natures health
restorer used during the month Of
May will completely Danish all
nervous disorders, by giving new
nerve force, purer blood, better d.
gestion, normal appetite and refresh
ing sleep, In word, Paine's Celery
Compound will give you the full
powers of robust manhood and true
womanhood.

Making Preliminary Survey.

Some time ago the city council OF
Waxahachie granted to a. T. Byers
of Fort Worth a franchise for build
ing, maintaining and operating a
trolley line inside the corporate linn
its, said line TO be a part of an inter
urban road to be constructed be-
tween this place and Ennis. The
franchise provided that work should
begin on the line within four months
from the date of its acceptance by
Mr.. Byers, in behalf of eastern cap
italists whom he represents and who
will build the road. Nothing more
had been heard of the matter until
the other day when the re ,,Orter was
informed that County Surveyor
Martin had been engaged to make
the preliminary survey between
WaXahachie and Ennis. Mr.. Mar
tin has been busy this week making
stakes for the right of way and We
understand that bis assistant, Cyral
Erwin, began running the prelimi-
nary survey this morning, common

the army appropriation bill.
Mr.. Culberson of Texas inquired
whether the secretary of war had re-
sponded to his resolution of the first
instant concerning the orders of Gen
erals Bell and Smith When informed
that no response had been received
he offered A resolution directing the
secretary Of war to send the senate
copies of all orders. instructions, let
tiers and cablegrams relating TO con.
centration in the Philippines and also
copies Of all orders, instructions, let

Mr. Lodge said that as a resolution
Of which the above was an amplifca
ton had been asked only five days
ago he would ask that the resolution
go over. 1t was so ordered.
Consideration of the Philippines bin
then was resumed and MIR. McComas
of Maryland, addressed the senate in
support of the measure.
After declaring that the war with
Spain had been forced upon the Unit
ed States by the Democrats and that
the Philippines had come to this coun.
try through that war, Mr. McComas
asserted that in the debates on the
Philippine question the Democrats ig
nored adj history and ignored the
said they proposed to undo the glori.
GUS work OF the past four years; to
denounce the treaty. to disgrace the
army and navy, to throw away the
sovereignty over the islands, to defy
the verdict Of the people; to reverse
the supreme court and to scuttle, amid
the fiaunts and jeers Of all the nations
OF the world.
The benefit provided in the pending
bill, he said was being DISTRACTED by
the minority of the senate, the mem
bers of which confined their speeches
to denunciations of the army. He said
that all humane men deplored the ad-
ministration of the watercure by
Americans. but he insisted it was not
patriotic to clutch at every charge
made against our army. He made o
warm defense of Gen. Funston and
paid high tribute TO his courage and
patriotism. Mr.. McComas paid high
tribute to President Mckinley, Pres!
dent Roosevelt and Secretary Root.
