Genius and Drudgery.

Paderewski, when told by her royal
highness, Princess Victoria, says an ex-
change. that he was "surely inspired" !"
answered:
"Your royal highness will, l dare
cay, be surprised when tell you that l
remember the day when was quite an
Indifferent player. I was determined,
however, to be what the world calls a
genius, and to be genius we'll knew
that / must first be a drudge, tCr gen.
ius and drudgery always 60 hand in
hand. Genius" and Paderewski spoke
excit3dly, sis three-quarters drudgery !;
that's what genius is. / at one time
practiced day after day, year after year,
till became almost insensible to sound :
became a machine, as 1t we're. Now

world Yes, but Paderewski was a

QUESTION ANSWERED,

Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine in the civ
ilized world. Your mothers and
grandmothers rever thought of using
anything else for Indigestion or Bill
iousness. Doctors were scarce, and
they seldom heard of Appendicitis,
Nervous Prostration or heart failure,
etc. They used August Flower to
clean out the system and stop fermen-
tation of undigested food, regulate the
action of the liver, stimulate tie ner-
vcus and organic action of the system
and that Is all they took when feeling
dull and bad with headaches and other
aches. You only need few doses OF
Green's August Flower in liquid form,
to make you satisfied there is nothing
serious the matter with you. You can

with plant which seeds once In two

great number of offspring, varying In
size, shape, color and composition, a
selection can be made which will de-
yelop any feature of the seed or plant.
By continued selection, these valuable
attributes can be fixed In the character

stalks, we have been able to increase

DIXIE FOREVER; :
IT IS POPULAR EVERYWHERE.
All Cheer It.

Washington Post.
"A singular thing about the tune OF
Dixie" said a Washington man who
does a coed deal OF travelling, "is that
it arouses quite as much enthusiasm
when 1t is played above Mason and
Dixon's line-far above that line, in
many instance-as it does when when
it Is played down South. / have
often noticed this and wondered over
it. In the Southern towns and cities,
or even in Washington, where South
ern sentiment predomnlnates, it ls the
natural thing for the cheers and the
hand-clapping wien, for example,
thealer orchestra or musical perform
ers on a stage st-lke up the tu"e Ut
Dixie bat precisely the eatne thing
happens in the Northern cities. An
orchestra never gets into the swing OF
Dixie il a New York theater that the
audience doesn't almost come to Its
feet. They cheer Dixie yociferously
every time it Is played in San Francis
CO. They yell in approva! of it in De
troit, and st. Paul, and Cincinnati,
and in Chicago they hum it along
with the band or orchestra. Even in
chilly Boston they wake up and give a
hand to "Dixle.' It's lively and in-
spring tune, of course, but I don't
think that fact exactly explains why it
Is that 1t arouses enthusiasm in COM
munities in the North, whore South
erner would scarcely even expect to
hear 1t played, much less cheered.
Maybe it's because there's linger-
ing love all over tha country for the
old South, and maybe it is because
there is a pretty general and whole
some sentiment all over the land for
the section that came out of the big
fight coed deal like the under dog !;
but, at any rate, 'Dixie's' the tune that
gets the biggest hand and the widest
acclaim, no matter where It's played,
from Michigan to the Cult. And
from the Atlantic to the Pacific"

only 6s5 feet. II shot into the air to a
height of more than 100 feet and much diff
Guilty was experienced in Gaping tho well.
The most significant and import ant feature
of this new discovery is tha. the oil had
parafflne base. while the Beaumont and
Sour Lake oil has al asphalt base. The
oil in the new wei! is of the same grade as
,he PENNSYLVANIA and Ohio product and at
present Texas quotations is worth sl2l
barrel while Beaumont and Sour Lake crude
is 30 to 40 cents barrel. There is great ex
citement among oil men over the new dis
covery. Hundreds of oil operators have
gone to the new field from Sour Lake and
Beaumont and land values have gone up
from SO an acre to $40 900 per acre near the
well
