MELANCHOLIA
Is a PeTiIous Disease and One That
Leads to Insanity.
Paine's
Celery Compound
Has Saved Thousands of
Melancholists From the
Grave.
Grave.

Melancholia is a grave disease; il
has tendency toinduce suicide and
homicide; in many cases it leads to
dread insanity. The first important
symptom of ordinary melancholia
is sleeplessness. Another symptom
Of the greatest Importance is a dull
pain in the back OF the neck, extern
ding to the back of the head. Then
I'VE see other symptoms, such as
depression of spirits, slow mental
and muscular movements, retarded
speech, terrifying Authorizations,
aversion to food and a disregard of
life. Every case of melancholia is
directly traceable to a weakness or
collapse of the nervous system. The
nerve branches of the sympathetic
system, the spinal column and brain,
are not doing their work, and the
blood is thin, sluggish or impure
Paine's Celery Compound is the
great rescuer and life builder for
every melancholic victim. AS a
nerve food, this marvellous Com
pound quickly imparts nourishmcnt
and life to the weak and famished
nerves, after which comes a new
vitality-a feeling that life is pre-
cious and worth living Tho Stomch
liver, and kidneys are toned, diges-
ton becomes perfect, natural APP
petite is bestowed, and sweet, re-
freshing sleep conduces to a vigorous
health. Paine's Celery Compound
has saved more melancholic and
nervous sufferers than all other
agencies. Do not treat
the symptoms of melanchOlia with
indifference. Begin today with
Paine's Celery Compound, and
avoid the perils that drag to insanity
and the grave.

rude act by sending an unworthy
offering, and it is not improbable
that the action of the good ladies
of Dallas was influenced somewhat
by the bitter prejudice towards
President Roosevelt which has
grown up everywhere in the South
recently. Even granting, for ar
gument's sake, however, that Mrs.
Roosevelt intended to offer slight
to the Dallas people, that would
not justify them in doing such
rude thing as to return her gift.
For the sake of the good name of
Texas someone should restrain them
from carrying out their decision.

That was a regrettable incid.

THAT was a regrettable incident
which occurred at Dallas the other
day. when the ladies in charge of a
public charity voted to return a
handkerchief which was donated by
Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt, to be sold
for the benefit of the fund, npon
the ground thatit YVES a cheap cotton
handkerchief and not considered a
worthy gift. 1t was asserted by
some OF the women that the gift of
she presidents wife, which was
given in response to a request for
donation, was positively tacky,7

and could be duplicated at any
store in Dallas for ten cents. The
cheapness of the gift was made
mere apparent by contrast with one

Eas much finer. Whereupon it was
voted to exhibit Mrs. Roosevelt's
'piece Of cotton at so much per
look and to return it to her after
wards. 1t is to be hoped, though,
that wiser counsel may prevail and
that no such affront may be offered
to the presidents wife by Texas
women. Even though her gift may
appear cheap, it is not to be believ-

Nor many years ago, it was a rare
Ihing to see wagons pulled by horses

country, as nearly all hauling was
done by the cumbersome cart drawn
by oxen. The ox-cart days of the

ing. Though those primitive We

JOLLY LEE DROPS DEAD.
Heavy Weight Exhibited By Cosmo- politan Carnival Company Died Thursday Morning Body to
 Be Embalmed.

Lee Trickey, better known under his widely advertised show name of ''Jolly Lee," died Thursday morning about o'clock, after several hours of severe suffering from inhammatory rheumatism, which is supposed to have affected his heart.
 Trickey was advertised as weighing sig pounds and the doctor who waited upon him says he must have exceeded 500. He was the biggest man in the world, surpassing Joe Grimes, who died in Cincinnati three weeks ago.
 Trickey was not over five feet ten inches in height and his limbs below the knees were very small, so that he could harnly stand alone. When get ting out of the car Monday he suffered sprained ankle.
 The deceased was 32 years old and had been with the Cosmopolitan Car nival Company six weeks. He was very heavy from youth, was married but leaves no family. The body will probably be embalmed, awaiting in- structions from his home, Hammond, Wisconsin, to which point the remains will be shipped.

 The Tyler Courier pays the follow ing tribute to the deceased:
 'In 1865 he married Miss Cynthia s. Davis, the charming daughter of John L. and Mrs. Nancy Davis, who had settled in Smith county and Tyler along early in the sos.
 "'Uncle Joe' Hamilton has been a familiar figure in Tyler for many years and waited with meekness and noblest of manhood for the final sum- mons, ready for the final roll call.

THE GRANGE
Conducted by J. W. DARROW,
Press Correspondent Neto York State
GRANGE
GRANGE PRINCIPLES.
Dignity of Labor, Fair Dealing and
Good Citizenship.

Good Citizenship.
We have nowhere seen a better pres
entation of the principles and purposes
of the grange than the following in the
American Agriculturist by Mr.. j. A.
Herr:
The character Of the grange member
ship and their faith In the Order are such
as give permanence to the organization.
The effect of united grange effort is seen
and felt in the legislature and other bene-
fits secured in the interest of the farmer,
along all lines of work. The dairyman,
the fruit grower, the stock breeder and the
poultryman have all been benefited
through the efforts of the grange. A
greater degree of intelligence is manifest
among the farmers as a result of grange
meetings and their outgroWth. the farm
ers' institutes of today. Extortion among
dealers has been checked, and a cash
basis for doing business is encouraged,
with beneficial results.
The grange organization stands entirely
for good. The principles are dignity of la
Dor, honest dealing, justice to ALL courage,
temperance thoroughness. peaceful citi-
zenship, charity and unspotted character.
Can there be nobler principles than these?
The grange encourages advanced educa-
tion and seeks to elevate not only its
membership but the community in which
II exists to a higher plane of culture, re-
finement and social standing. Social scam
dals are seldom found within its ranks.
Its teachings are of the purest and high
est character, like that of family refine
ment and intellectually. If the grange
comes short of this, then the principles
and precepts Of the Order are not faith
fully observed.
The benefits Of good active working
grange are evidenced by an increased in
terest in the farm and home, a greater de-
gree of social culture and enjoyment an
advance along the lines of higher educa-
ton and an independence and thrift
which should be the inheritance of every
farmer. These facts appeal to all persons
interested in agriculture In all it's varied
departments. to unite with the grange and
assist in advancing it's objects as well as
to share its benefits.
