The sennntlon 81 Hunger.

The sensation of hunger has not been
easy to explain. The new theory of a
German physician is that 1t is due to
emptiness Of the blood vessels of the
stomach, and it is pointed out that hun.
ger is appeased with the rush Of blood
TO the stomach following the taking of
food and beginning of digestion. In
many anRmic persons who have no ap.
petite when the stomach is empty the
blood vessels are really congested in.
stead Of being empty. Lack of blood
in the stomach in health acts on spe.
cial nerve. which is branch of the
same nerve trunk as the nerves Of the
mouth and tongue. A stimulus applied
TO the tongue, as by a spice. thus in.
creases appetite, while disease affecting
the nerves of the tongue may produce
loss of appetite even when the stou-
ach is empty.

Complicated ReIntIonshin..

ITS astonishing when you come to
think of 1t how the simplest appearing
marriages may have complicated re-
suits" said a philosopher the other day.
"of course when man marries
young girl and his son marries the
girls mother the possible offspring have
all sorts of relationships with their
parents. But take a simpler case. A
chap | know married his first cousins
daughter some years ago and has two
children. Those olive branches are
first cousins once removed to their
grandfather and second cousins to their
mother on the fathers side and first
cousins twice removed to their father
on their mothers side. Then each ie
second cousin once removed TO himself.
\ similar state of affairs occurs of
course in the case of children of mar
rled first cousins.
Il think I've proved my theorem,
haven't l, that complicated results of.
ten follow simple enough causesT"

the nlcknpoou.

The Kickapoo Indians have very
peculiar marriage custom. They sim.
ply select their wives. ana If the selec.
ton Is mutual they reside together as
man and wife, and nothing Is said.
There are no scandals among these
people. Husbands and wives are true
to each other, and the quiet under.
standing is considered as sacred us our
marriage VOWS. There are few acts
that can be termed criminal among
this small band of Indians. Murder is
seldom heard Of and death is the pen.
atty for the crime. Robbery from each
other IS unknown. All their posses
slons could be piled together In the
street, and no one of them would think
Of taking the property. Their religion
is the same as Columbus found among
the Indians when he first landed in
America. They believe that there are
two spirits-the great, good spirit and
the bad spirit. After death the wicked
are supposed to fall victims to the bad
spirit. The religious worship is car
ried on every day. 1t consists Of dances
and singing and beating of tomtoms.
They are very delicate regarding their
belief and seldom take a stranger into
their confdence.-Kansns City Journal.

How to Prevent Group.

1t will be good news to the mothers of
small children to learn that Group can
be prevented. The first sign of Group is
hoarseness. 4 day or two before the at.
tack the child becomes hoarse. This is
soon followed by a peculiar rough cough.
Give Chambcrlain's Cough Remedy free
ly as soon as the child becomes hoarse,
or even after the rough cough appears,
and it will dispel all symptoms of Group.
In this way all danger and anxiety may
be avoided. This remedy is used by many
thousands of mothers and has never been
known to fail. 1t is, in fact, the only
remedy that can always be depended
upon and that is pleasant and safe to
take. For sale by Stone s Mercer, drug.

dent of the Frisco, is chairman The
new syndicate holds an option on
block of Seaboard common and pre-
ferred stock amounting to less than

twelve months yet to run.
The status of the syndicate and Ire

death of the Texas railroad commission
is involved in the injunction proceed
ings which have been instituted by the
express companies in the federal court
against this body" said Commissioner
.. 3. .Coluuitt today. THE result or
this suit will determine whether the rail-
road commission is simply vehicle OF
convenience or a tribunal of useful
ness" Commissioner Colquitt said that
the suit will be fought by the railroad
commission through the court of last
resort if necessary. and that he is con-
fident that the evidence which the state
will introduce will very clearly and posi-
lively support the action of the COM
mission in ordering reduction of the
express rates in this state.
The railroad commission has no fund
available with which to employ addi-
tional counsel. but it will be represented
by Attorney General c. x. Bell, who
has three months in which to prepare
himself for the trial of the case as IL
is set for the January term of the fed

ColQuitt said that there is yet conside:-

to obtain from various sources, and that
this work will be done between now and
