Where the writer lived many
years ago, when home made
chairs were almost the only
kind in use, there was one good
old man who made better chairs
than anybody in that section.
Those who wanted chairs al
ways went to father armour"
first. He always had all the
work he could do, and people
were glad to pay him half a dol
lar more each for chairs than
others charged for similar
goods. A chairis now in use in
Navarro county, that Father
Armour made more than 60 years
ago. 1t is in good condition ex-
cept that the legs are worn
down about 5 inches. Good
work is the key to success in
any calling. Even in farming,
and that embraces many branch
es often pursued separately, it
is good, thorough work that
pays. A neighbor of the writer

had field of so acres. He cut
il down to % acres and used all
the rails that previously fenced
the 80 to make an extra good
fence around the 25. BY
thorough cultivation and heavy
fertilizing he prospered beyond
any man in the neighborhood.
This land would yield usually
between Is to 20 bushels of
corn, and half a bale of cotton
per acre. He made year after
wear 20 to 80 bushels and a bale
to a bale and a-quarter per acre.
He also grew fruit, vegetables
and special crops, and his 20
acres was veritable garden.
He was 4 strong, able bodied
man and had two sons able to
do mems work, and they could
have cultivated, as was usually
done, IS acres, but they made
far more from the % acres than
they could have made from any
greater area.

town today and tells US about
the fine luck he is having in
raising chickens. He is using
an incubator in a dugout and
keeps his hens laying as much
as possible. This reminds us
that Lampasas has been built
up mainly on chickens and eggs,
and that a special train to carry
spring chickens is run from
there. We have as good a

and as long as spring chickens,

Clarendon Storm Swept.

Wednesday morning about
two o'clock, a storm came up
from the south that proved to
be the most destructive Claren-
don has ever had.
The heaviest loser is perhaps
w. G. Morgan, living on hill
north of town, whose large
barn was blown completely
down; the structure was worth
$500 or more. H. w. Taylor
large tank and tower in the
rear of his store and his wind
mill at his residence were blown
down and badly broken. Con
ductor Harrington's windmill,
tower, tank and barn were
blown to pieces. Dilworth's
two story barn was wrecked, as
was Hills blacksmith shop.
The Banners Stock Office was
a frail box building with the
sills badly decayed, and the
walls separated from the floor
and careened over and is unfit
for use. The type in several
cases was pied and the rain
damaged the stock of paper.
Lanes implement shed of sheet
iron was partially unroofcd, a
good deal of it being blown on
top of Taylor's hardware store,
and flying pieces broke glass
in Rutherford's store front. Tay-
lor's store front and two win
dows in the Masonic hall. Some
- or Is panels of the court yard
fence were blown down. w. A.
Caldwell's mill and tower were
blown down.
So far as we can learn there
was no damage done outside of
town. The storm ended with a
heavy rain and some hail

Planets and Sans May Pick Up Minor
Solar Bodies.
Jupiter is much the biggest member
Of the family Of stars which Fevolvs
around our sun; consequently the pow
er of his attraction is greater than that
possessed, for instance, by the earth.
Jupiters exploits as a burglar have
caused very considerable annoyance
and inconvenience to astronomers in
the days before his powers were fully
recognized.
In 1870 there appeared a fine comet,
which was found to have an elliptical
orbit round the sur of so comparatively
small a size that Mr.. Lexell. its discov-
erer, calculated it would return in Ave
and a half years, but in 1775 telescopes
were yainly focused on the spot where
1t was expected to reappear. and again
in 1871 it disappointed all observers.
Mr.. LexelI plunged into fresh calcula-
tons and after much research found
that Jupiter was the culprit. The un-
fortunate comet had been rash enough
to plunge into the sphere of the giant
planets attraction, with the result that
II udu OSCA SVn1PiCtCIy tSN AhOAu
its former orbit and flung off into quite
a different one of a twenty ear period.
1t has never been seen again by any
one on this earth and probably never
will be.
Jupiter was also responsible for the
delay which occurred in the return of
that splendid visitant known as Hal
iey's comet. Haley found that he was
not the first discoverer Of this big com
ct. 1t had appeared at least twice pre-
viously. once seventy-five years before
and again seventy-six years before that.
The astronomer concluded that there
would be a further delay in its third
return and predicted that its next ap.
pearance would be 51S days later. He
did not live to see it. But in 1853. the
year he had prophesied for its reap
p~earance, astronomers were waiting
for it.

What threatened to be one OF the
worst disasters in the history of ship.
ping was the burning of the Ocean
Monarch. The fire was discovered in
her fore hold an hour or two only after
she left the Mersey. There was a
strong breeze, and she was headed for
the Welsh coast.
By some unlucky accident an anchor
was dropped, and the big ship was
brought up all standing head to the
wind. The flames came roaring aft,
where 600 passengers and crew were
crowded.
A Brazilian frigate, a yacht and Oh
pilot boat were near, but they only at

American clipper and rounded into the
wind barely 200 yards away. IN her
first boat was Frederick Jerome, only
an able seaman, but one OF the bravest

boat was alongside the burning ship.

until the last soul OF 600 raj saved.

TIE ATHLETES A
Inn the Rowin@ Man Ii I'm Strong am@

Am the Rowing Man Ii I'm Strong mm@
Well Developed.
A prominent member of the faculty
of the University of Pennsylvania Med
ical school has made a study Of the
heart action OF athletes. He has ex-
amined a large number of men in ath-
letics. especially rowing men,, and he
has come TO the conclusion that no man
i'm perfect health who has been proper
~ trained is injured by rowing, but
that, ON the contrary, his heart ID so
strengthened that, with a moderate
amount of exercise after he has finish.
ed his rowing career, there is no rsa.
son, so far as the heart and lungs arc
concerned, that he should not live to q
very old age.
'.The heart" said he, lis both a very
delicate and a very strong organ-tha4
Is, If it is well developed it will stand
an enormous amount Of strain without
any permanent injury. but il it is not
well developed it is very easily weak
ened. Violent exercise. like rowing,
places a great deal of strain ON the
heart because when the body is being
exerted it requires SO much more pres
sure to force the blood through the
body. Like any other muscle that is
worked, the heart under the added la
Dor becomes larger, and most athletes
have extra large hearts. just as they
also have larger muscles throughout
the body.
''If the strain is put upon the heart
suddenly it dilates-it becomes larger,
but not more muscular-and that is the
danger In athletics. II a man exercises
| gradually then his heart also increases
in size gradually because the muscles
become larger, and this is a perfectly
normal condition. 1t simply
that the athlete has a stronger heart
than the average and can cope with
the extra strain that is put upon it. A
man needs a larger heart to row a
/ race, and il gradual exercise has SO
provided him with one h he can
safely undergo the most severe tests.
1T is the same way with the lungs,
and they must be developed gradually
until they al undertake the extra
work. A man with his heart and lungs
we'll developed is in no danger, no mat
ter how hard the race. He may COM
pletely keel owe at the end OF the race.
but it will likely be from sheer exhaus-
ton. and his heart Is so strong that the
effect is not at all injurious. He will
be as good as eve in a few moments"

gradually learns that to keep its shell
closed when out OF the water is Il
best thing for it's health. These inves-
tigators found that they could take two
oysters, one trained and one unframed.
and the trained oyster. keeping its shell
closed while out OF the water. would
live a long time. while the unframed
one. opening it's shell. would die in d
few hours. Therefore training schools
for oysters We're established. The
schools are in appearance nothing more
than reservoirs fun of water. Oysters
are put in them, and the water is drain

kept of for a few minutes at first. then
for ten minutes. then for half an hour

they learn this they are graduated and
