Not Drinking q Drop.

"Give me a pony of brandy, quickw
exclaimed nervous looking man as he
rushed up to the bar in a Broad street

was at once forthcoming, but instead
Of gulping it down, as the mans man.
ner naturally suggested that he would
do, he poured little into the palms of
his hands, rubbed them together and
buried his nose in his hands. He gave
long drawn shifts Of inhalation until
the liquor had evaporated and then
poured more from the glass into his
hands. This operation he repeated I'M
til the glass was empty. Then he paid
for his drink and went out with a look
of contentment on his face.

ested spectator.
1T simply means that there are more
ways than one Of beating the devil
around the stump" said the bartender.
THAT man swore Off drinking the first
OF the year, and don't believe he has
swallowed drop Of liquor since. He
inhales 1t now-always brandy. I've
known him to come in here as often as
five or six times in one day and go
through the performance you have just
seen. These swear off fellows are queer
fish. know another man who stopped
drinking whisky and took to bitters.
He travelled with a drinking crowd,
and every time the others took whisky
he would pour out drink Of bitters.
No; 1t didn't make him drunk, but it
nearly ruined his stomach. He spent
month in the hospital and then went
back to the real stuff."-Philadelp

KNOW WHAT you CAN DO.

Teachers, like water, find their
level. Presumption, self assur
ance, egotism, have no effect un-
less they have the mental force and
the physical energy with which to
back them up. If a teacher under
stands what her forte is, what she
can do, and does it we'll, she has
the respect of the community, but
it she tries to do what she cannot
do we'll, she appears ridiculous.
When Disraeli made his first
speech in Parliament he was hooted
and laughed at. He knew his
forte, and was only strengthened
in his opinion and determination
by the jeers he received, so with
clinched teeth he said: "They
shall hear mel" and they did.
1neSe WOrQS In the mouth or al
most any other person would likely
never have been repeated, but
through him they have become al
most automatic.
The only way to discover what
you can do is by trying to perform
faithfully whatever comes in your
way. If you fail in doing what
you undertake to do to your own
satisfaction, learn the cause and
try again, and keep trying until
you accomplish it.

CoLoNIzING SOUTHWEST.
Railroad Companies Inducing Immi-
grafton to Arkansas and Texas.

Cheap Lands Whereon Cattle Raising, Fruit
and Truck Growing are Very Profitable.
An unusual effort is being made
by the railroad companies with
lines running into the Southwest to
induce greater immigration to
that section. The opportunities
offered the former, stock raiser and
truck and fruit grower IN portions
OF Arkansas and Texas are perhaps
not surpassed anywhere in the wide
world.
Along tue Cotton Belt Route in
Southwest Arkansas are large
tracts of land from which the tim
Der has been cut by sawmill COM
panies which may be cleared and
made into excellent farms. This
land con be purchased for So to SIS
per acre. 1t makes good pasture
land for cattle and sheep, and much
of 1t will produce an average crop
of cotton, or will grow immense
crops of vegetables of all descrip-
tions.
So prolific are the yields of pota-
toes, onions, cabbage, melons, to-
matoes, pears, peaches, and in fact
nearly every kind of vegetable and
fruit, that truck growers associa-
tons are forming at many points.
The Cotton Belt is actively assist
ing these associations by granting
special rates and otherwise aiding
III securing a reado market for the
products. 1t is fact of much i'm
portance that wherever truck grow
ing has been entered into the price
Of lands has Immediately advanced.
In order to encourage this and
kindred industries along their lines
the Southwestern railroads have
put into effect very low round trip
Homesedkers' rates of one way fare
plus s., and one way Colonist rates
of half the one way fare plus So, |
from such points as st. Louis, Cairo |
and Memphis to Arkansas Lotus
lana and Texas, on the first and
third Tuesdays of each month, en-
abling homeseekers to visit the
country to look around or locate.
The Cotton Belt Route, through
it's general passenger department
at st. Louis, has taken a leading
part in calling attention to the pos
sIbilities of this splendid country,
and volunteers to assist any one in
securing home therein such as he
desires.

THANKSGIVING EXERCISES.

Thanksgiving was held at the
Public School last Wednesday.
Many visitors were present. The
big strutting turkey drawn on the
board, with the November calen-
dar in the feathers of its tail, sure
" indicated that the interest of
November reaches q climax with
Thanksgiving. That golden globe,
the pumpkin, was conspicuous on
its pedestal. The exercises did
credit to the teachers and we're
carried out by the pupils in a
characteristic way, happily and
enthusiastically. The history of
the day was told and stories relat.
ing to the time when the day was
first set apart for observance, and
also instructive drawings we're
placed on the board. Following
this was cheering Thanksgiving
song and several appropriate reel
tations. The visitors then wit
messed the programme given by
the fifth, sixth and seventh grades.

Draughon's Practical Business Col

Draughon's practical business col.
leges, located at Nashville, ST. Louis,
Atlanta, Montgomery, Little Rock,
Fit. Worth, Galveston and Shreveport,
are schools of national reputation.
They are strongly endorsed by bust
ness men from Maine to California.
Prof. Draughon, who is author of four
text books on bookkeeping, and pro-
prietor of these institutions, doubt
less. expends more money in securing
positions for his students than almost
any business college takes in as tu-
ition. He guarantees positions under
reasonable conditions, and will allow
a student to deposit money in bank
for tuition till course is completed and
position secured. -Four weeks book
keeping in his college is equal to IL in
any other that does not employ his i'm
proved method Of teaching. His col
leges also offer special advantages in
shorthand, typewritlng,
etc. 1t is generally conceded by those
who are in position to know that Prof.
success in the business
college work has been greater than
that Of any one else. His superior
course of instruction and his special
facilities for securing positions are al
most an Offset to competition where

The Medal Contest.

One of the most enjoyable occa-
sions of the season was the medal
contest at the G. P. Church Friday
evening under the auspices of the
Y. W. c. t. U. The exercises
were opened with music, IN which
the audience participated, followed
with scripture reading and prayer.
Mrs. Chas. Dietzel in her modest
and unique manner presided as
manager, while Miss Bessie Scates
and Mr.. Mangum furnished most
excellent music.
Eight of our lovely girls occupied
seats upon the rostrum, ready to
respond as their names were called.
Miss Clare Littleton rendered in a
most pleasing manner IA Little
Child Shall Lead Them" Strong
men were moved to tears as the
tiny childish voice was represented
as calling, "Wait, papa; I'll tum
and lead you foo de gate"
Next followed Miss Kathleen Rey-
holds, rendering in a very impress
sive way Il Have Drank My Last
Glass, Boys"
Miss Dezzie Brown came next,
giving effectively "The Orphans
Prayer"
Miss Pauline Cathey presented
Samantha AS a Politician" in
way that clearly showed woman's
triumph.
Then came little Miss Ethel Gil
christ with "The Drunkard Re-
deemed" which made lasting i'm.
preston.
Miss Jessie Harrison followed in
more than ordinary manner with
"The Duty of Public Service"
which will live in the memory of
our voters for many a day.
Miss Louise Mayors followed with
an impressive and strong rendition
of "The Fathers Letters" in
manner so pleading, so earnest,
that you could imagine yourself in
the very presence of that aged ia
Their and margaret"
Last, but by no means least, Miss
Irene Davis gave US "The Surren-

cannot be allowed to express the
impressions made upon us by this
selection.
Beautiful music was interspersed.

EDUCATIONAL TOPICS.
POWER TO THINK.

TOWEh N HMM
There is nothing but thinking
makes SO. There is nothing but
thinking makes it. Whatever is,
is the product Of thought. The
power to think, therefore, is of
the greatest value. He only who
can think, and think rightly, and
think continuously, and think I'M
der any and all circumstances, can
lay claim to education. Many
problems we of the South have
not yet solved by thought. By
thought we can improve our lands,
our homes, our schools and our
selves. 1t is the business, yes, the
business of the school, to give us
thinkers. 1t is not SO much what
we learn from books and teachers
that is valuable, but how we learn
to think. Let the school send out
boys and girls who can think.
What they know is of little conse-
quence unless they are able to
think, for all knowledge and the
whole world lie open to the think
er. E. V. S.

COURTESY.
Life is sort of partnership in
which each human being has an
interest. Good manners are the
links in the chain which bind these
human beings to each other and to
a Higher Power.
Courtesy is as much matter of
heart as a matter Of habit. One
springs from the desire to please
and help; the other from practice
in the forms of politeness. Human
nature is essentially selfish, and to
comparatively few is bestowed
that beautiful and priceless gift,
tact. 1t is something more sub
stantial than mere forms. 1t is
grounded in kindness of heart,
an unselfshness, sympathy and a
real interest in the welfare of 9th
ers, which alone can lay claim to
true courtesy.
Both heart and habit can be cul-
tivated. Life brings a discipline
to all, and in contact with our fel.
low-men each should recognize his
duty to make himself acceptable.
Every one admires a polite, we'll
bred person. He has his influence
in every phase of life, and wins
success where the deficient one
fails.
All good things begin at home.
The child who has been trained in
its home to be thoughtful and cour-
beous, has many advantages over {
hose who have not. No rudeness,
ike laughing at the mistakes of {
others, should be allowed. The
Boys should be habituated TO re-
moving their hats at the proper
lime, and to doing the many little :
Kings that count for so much In ;
ife. All should be trained to re-
,iprocate courtesies. r
Hearts, like doors, will ope with ease i
To very, very little keys; I
And don't forget that two are these /
l thank you, SIR and 'Ifyou please. >" q
Good manners are obligatory on Q
very one. If one is guided by c
he golden rule, practices constant t
y politeness, subdues self-love and
Disqualification, the heart will be t
with the habit, and q
higher moral nature will be devel-

what He Wanted to Know.

1t may not be generally known, but
a certain prominent resident belongs
to family In which he is one of TWEEN
ty-four brothers and sisters, sixteen OF
whom are now living. There were two
mothers in the family, the first having
eleven children and the second thir-
teen. The man in question belongs to
the second group. One of his sisters
grew to maturity, married, had seven
children and died before he was born.
He was an uncle before birth and a
great-uncle at five years of age. 1t is
said that when the latter event came
to pass and the youngster was inform
ed that he was now really and truly a
great-uncle he who had been an uncle
for five long years cooked his features
into an expression of sadness and re-
piled, THAT may be all right, but when

The Value of singing.

From the medical standpoint singing
is a most important exercise both by
virtue of its influence on the emotions,
on the respiratory movements and on
the development of the lungs. Nothing
better shows the beneficial effect of
singing In developing the chest and
warding off the lung diseases than the
great pulmonary development and free
dom from pulmonary disease among
professional singers. Their general
health, moreover. Is exceptionally good,
and this is probably In a large meas
ure attributable to the mere exercise
of the calling. 1t Is especially useful
In defective chest development and in
chronic heart disease. Provided the
patient can sing with comfort there is
no condition in which singing Is con-
traindicated unless 1t be a tendency to
tuberculosis or aneurismal hemoptysis.
1t is scarcely necessary to say that the
singer should be so clad as to allow
absolute freedom of the chest move
ments, there should be no construction
of the neck or waist, the collar should
be low and ample and the stays, If
worn, ample and loose.

The Oldest British Game.

In one form or another football, the
Oldest British game, has existed for
centuries. Some see II in the game
"harpaston," played by the Greeks, the
name of which, they say, by deriva-
ton, suggests that the ball might be
seized and carried into goal. No trace
of the game, as now understood, is
found outside of Britain, but In Eng
land It has fiourishcd for centuries.
Shrove Tuesday, in olden times, was
the great annual football day, when
the fun was fast and furious, shops
and houses being closed for fear of
damage and both sexes and all ages
taking part.
Fitzstephen In his History of Lon
don, 1175," makes the earliest mention
of the game in England. He tells us
of young men of the city annually go
ing into the fields after dinner to play
at the well known game Of ball on
Shrove Tuesday. Traditions Of Chester
and Derby bear this out, where 1t was
long the custom to do the same, Ches-
ter's first ball being the head of a
Dane.-Pearson's Weekly.

PIKE AND MUsKELLUNGE.
How You Way Easily Tell Them
Apart by Their Markings.

In the muskellunge the upper half of
check and gill cover is scaled. the
lower half being naked. The pike has
n gill cover scaled like the lunge's,
but the entire cheek Is scaled. The
eastern and grass pickerel have cheek
and gill covers scaled all over. Hence,
If only the upper half of the fsh's
eAaak- il scaled Ii is Il ,lnnge; il the
entire cheek and half the gill cover
show scales, the specimen is great
northern pike.
Young muskellunge are distinctly
spotted with blackish OIL greenish or
grayish ground. The mature fish shows
less distinct markings, although they
usually are discernible In the region or
the tail. | have, however, seen big, old
fish upon which the eye could detect
no spot, the general color being gray
ish green, with a few dim reflections.
Again | have seen fine fish of a monde
script tint, as like that of an old, dry
rubber boot as anything | can think OF.
The young and old of the great
northern pike have the sides marked
with oval whitish or yellowish spots
several shades lighter than the ground
color; hence a fish with spots darker
than the ground color is 'lunge; with
lighter spots, northern pike.-Edwyn

Rocky Autograph Album.

Probably the oldest and most pre-
cious autograph album that has ever
existed lies I'm an almost unknown cor
ner of western New Mexico.
More than two centuries before our
Saxon forefathers penetrated the des-
ert of the southwest the Spanish pi-
oneers, wandering through those lone
ly wilds, found a rock so noble and SO
remarkable, even in country of won
derful stone monuments, that they
called it eel Moro" CThe CASTLE.
Wishing to leave some record for flu.
ture generations, they traced with the
points of their swords their names up
on its rough surface. Those names
are there, with dates of their inscrip.
tion-in nearly every instance the early
part of the seventeenth century.

An IusfnuatfOn.

1t was a warm Sunday morning In
church. Fans were fiuttering, hymn
ais Topping, handkerchiefs hopping
streaming faces, and the minister
thought his audience a little lax mat
tention. Finally he led up to rebuke
for its lack of consideration for sacred
sud important things. Said he:
people are prone to attend to the
unimportant things of life.'
And he gave a few examples to IL
lustrate his idea. Presently he made
his pertinent application.
'Now," said he, you are attentive
to your own comfort this morning, to
the sinful neglect of the holy word.
Take no thought for the heat" he
said dramatically, "for you may be
dead orrow."-Detroit Free Press.
