Country Folks.

A Missouri editor imagines that city folks do not adequately ap- preciate the intellectually of coun- try folks, and he takes pains, in a recent issue of his paper, to dispel some of the illusions he thinks ex- ist regarding country folks.
 We country folks, he de- clares, talk other subjects than politics. Our city friends have al- ways thought differently. They seize the unsuspecting visitor from the backwoods and pump him dry on political themes. Who is Boone county's choice for governor} What oyou think of Stonel What is the legislature going to do! What about the next president? And so on to the end of the chapter.
 We are not very learned folks nor are we profound philosophers, but we occasionally talk about other things not political and some times think about them, too. For instance we discuss crops. The dwellers in tall houses in towns and the wearers of purple and fine linen don't know much about crops, save in q speculative way. They smile a little occasionally when wheat and corn and grass are men toned. But they are even more dependedt upon the success or fail ure of crops than the farmer him self. Then we talk religion, not altogether on Sunday either. There are a few yet left in the rural dis tricts who believe in old-time reli- zion and the old-fashioned, unre-

 l saw in a receBt issue of your valuable paper whore a fellow, writing under the nom de plume of Hot Stuff, !" undertook to give very minute description of a dis tinguished gentleman whom he termed "a lost boy" But as he has exaggerated so and used so many absurdities, I will describe him more correctly. As l am q resident of the magnificent city of Syringa, a city of 5000 inhabi- tants, 1 think 1 know the young man to whom he alludes.
 The illustrious gentleman was born and reared in the grand old state of Arkansas, and rose from 8 very humble station in life. But by indomitabIe pluck, incessant la Dor and a firm determination, he has ascended to the extreme sum init of fame.
 This noted gentleman moved in- to our proud city short time ago. He is the leading figure in the cir cle of society of this city. Of viz orous mind, incorruptible honesty and lofty patriotism, he is idolized by the whole city. On the account of his oratorical powers. he is call ed The Silver Tongued Orator of Texas. He has secured the prin- eipalship of The sam Houston Normal of this city. He makes 8 special business of training young doctors, lawyers, teachers and other professional men and receives q neat litFle salary Of S550 per month. Almost every family ia the city has one of his portraits hanging on the wall. They prize 1t as q most sacred souvenir, and in every library, is included a copy of his biography.
 His private office is at the Clar- cndon Hotel, where he receives distinguished men from New York, Chicago, St. Louis, Newark and other cities. He Is located on 2354 North Street, is on the l6th floor and Che number of his room k 9S4. Telephone number 7S7. Any one desiring information, concerning his work, send for his 14Ib 16,000 page catalogue.

 The farmer who complains that the squealing of the hogs in the pen keeps him awake at night should reflect little and perhaps he will conclude that if he had to sleep on the cold, wet ground, and his only chance to keep warm was to struggle to get under another hog like himself, he would squeal some, too. To realize that he has a warm bed in comfortable house while his hogs are almost freezing, and then to be able to sleep, proves that he is the shabbiestShog of the lot.-Farm and Ranch.

of Hot Stuff, is also an Arkansas boy, who left there some time ago. He went to Texas, to accumulate a fortune, but has been sadly dis appointed, and now is home-sick. heart broken, financially broken, is wrecked both morally and men tally, Is in a hypochondriacal state of despondeney, and at different intervals of time is seriously at lacked with the grave malady known as delirium tremens, and as he IS so unfortunateas as not to be able to get back home, he resorts to the bottle to drown his troubles. He guIps down the Hot Stuff and during his spells of hallueination he Is not his realself, and imagines his name Is Hot Stuff, and has suicidal thoughts. He lives off in a secluded place, and almost in to- tai obscurity; you can tell from his writing, that his chief occupa- ton Is hunting, and the reason he Is offering reward for the recov- cry of that Lost Boy he thinks. probably he might borrow S4or 5 and by walking a great deal would be able to return home. But l think that would bea very meager reward, as he has only 8 dozen coon hides exclusive of his pants, shirt, and cap which are made of the same material. But this Lost Boy from his dazzleing spire, does not look down on him in his benighted state of pauperism and stolidity, with disdain or reproach, but with pity and compassion. He has noble hearted woman and three children and any assistance rendered them in their depIorable condition, will be appreciated by them.

WINDMILL STILL RUNS But the 0rist is Light, Compared to Amount of Gas the Pee-

In the senate the Daniel medical bill was passed after the adoption of twoamendments, one providing that the act go into effect ninety days after it's passage and the other striking out ''in rural districts after the word medicines. The house concurred in both amend ments. The bill provides for three state and medical examining boards each of seven members, represent ing the aHopaths, homeopathic and eclectics. Dr. T. J. Daniel, senior representative from Logan county, introduced the bill in the house and successfully piloted the meas ure through the legislature.
 Bills were passed by the house as follows: Prohibiting granting 15y county judges of liquor license outside cities and incorporated towns of less than 500 populations; adding Bradley county to the Sec ond chancery district; providing for selling and tolling of wheat by measure, instead of by weight, and prohibiting the use of the brass tester.
 Among the most important bills introduced are the following:
 No. 247, by Bryant, providing for taxing life insurance policies having a cash surrender value.
 No. 257, by Ellis, for the pro- lection of holders of life insurance policies; makes anti-suicide clauses in such policies void, unless it can be shown that the insured con- templated suicide when the policy was issued.
 No. 259, by Matmiller, to re- qnire all railroad to furnish cars to shippers within Q reasonable time after demand is made; rail- road liable for damages if demand be not complied with.
 The governor notified the house that he had signed the Halland act, declaring the first Monday in Sep- tember of each year a public holi- day, to be known as Labor day. A number of other acts, mainly of local nature, were also approved by the governor.
 The senate adopted a concurrent resolution by Senator Norwood in- viting Judge Alton B. Parker of New York to address the general assembly.

Mayor Hawkins Attacked.

MorriIton, Feb. 9.-Mayor N.
 E. Hawkins of this city lies at his home in a critical condition as a
 result of a brutal attack upon him by an unknown person about 1 O. clock Monday morning. He was called out to his gate by some one and left the house without his wife knowing where he had gone.
 When his son went to the barn yesterday morning to feed the stock he found that his father had been beaten and left in the barn with the door closed. Upon ex- animation 1t was found that both arms were broken near the wrist joints, an ugly gash was cut over his right eye and also on top of the head. Mr. Hawkins regained consciousness once since being found and told his wife that some one had his purse and was gone. His purse and ali the money he had are missing The object of the attack, 1t is supposed, was robbery.
