Advantages of a Goat.

1t is estimated that eight goats
can subsist and will yield a good
flow of milk on the amount of
food required for one COW. They
are satisfied with provender of any
sort, and by keeping couple of
them instead Of a COW, the family
of workingman may be provided
during the entire year with milk.
The goat gives more wholesome
milk than the COW, of higher nu-
tritive value and richer in fats. SO
far rs known the animal is not
subject to tuberculosis, says The
Live Stock Journal"
Goats milk is much nearer
to mothers milk in composition
than cows milk. In Germany
the children frequently take their
food direct from the family goat,
as the kid does.
In Italy, which is a goat coun-
try, the feeding bottle is scarcely
heard of, and babies who are not
so fortunate as to be nursed by
their mothers find in the little Ital-
ian nanny" their next best friend
andit is not an uncommon sight
to see an infant or small child
drawing its dinner from the goat,
which has been brought to the
steps or into the house for the pur-
pose.

An Essay on Man.

Man that is born of woman is
small potatoes and few in a hill.
He rises up to-day and flourishes
like a ragweed, and tomorrow OF
the next day the undertaken hath
him. He goes forth in the morn
ing warbling like a lark, and is
knocked out in one round and two
seconds.
In the midst of life he is in debt
and the tax-collectOr pursueth him
wherever he gOeth.
The banister of life is full of
splinters, aud he slideth down
with con siderable rapidly, He
walketh about in the bright sun
light to absorb ozone, and meeteth
the bank teller with sight draft
for 1857.
He cOmeth home of eventide and
meeteth the wheelbarrow in his
path. 1t rises up and smiteth him
to the earth and falleth upon him
and runneth one of its legs into
his ear.
In the gentle spring he putteth
on his summer clothes and bliz-
zard strlketh him far from home
and filleth him with cuss words
and rheumatism. In the winter
he putteth on winter trousers and
a wasp that bideth excitement.
He starteth down into the cellar
with an Oleander and goeth back
ward, and the oleander cometh af-
ter him and stitch upon him.
He buyeth a Watchdog and
when he cometh home from the
lodge the watchdog treeth him
and stitch near him until rosy
morn. He goeth TO the horse
trot and betteth his money on the
brown mare, and the bay gelding
with the blaze face winneth.
He marrieth red headed heiress
with a wart on her nose, and the
next day the parent ancestor gOeth
under with a fee, arrest and great
liabilities, and cOmeth home to
live with his beloved son-in-law.

DIR. Miles Nervine Cured
Him.

Weak, nervous, fretful, puny children re-

symptoms lead to epileptic fits or spasms.
Every mother should strengthen her own and
babies nerves with DR.. Miles NerVine, true
specific in all nervous disorders. Read the
following:
"When my little boy was 10 months old
he had cramps in his feet and hands. They
would be drawn out of shape for two or three
days. At first liniment seemed to help but
in about two weeks nothing did any good
the doctor gave him. We called another
doctor but his medicine did no good so we
changed to another who called it spinal dis
ease. BY this time the child's body was
drawn out of shape; his backbone was curved
TO one side and his hands and feet out of
shape. His suHerings were terrible, and he
was having from two to six fits day. l was
taking DR.. Miles Restorative Nervine for
nervous trouble and saw it was recommended
for fits, so thought / would see If it would
help him. All three doctors had given him
up. One-half bottle stopped the fits and his
limbs Strengthened, and another bottle cured
him. He is now a strong, healthy boy going
to school. have waited to see If the old
trouble returned, before writing you, but it

Editors are the first to hear Cos
sip or scandal, indiscretion of men

ally know all naughty doings in a

If one-half they know were pub

learns much of the hypocracy of

CHURCH HISTORY.
Little Bonnie Femme Baptist
church was organized the first Sat
urday in February, 1920. The
following named persons covenant
ed to keep house for the Lord Je-
sus: David Doyle, James Harris,
Mourning Harris, Polly Harris,
Elizabeth KEENAN,, John Maupin,
Jane futile, Lazarus Wilcox,
JAMES Wiseman, Thomas s. Tut
tie and Nelly Wayne. The
first pastor was David Doyle. He
was a practicing physician of good
repute. One of his most noted
cures was that of Joseph Estes.
Mr.. Estes had the measles and
taking cold they settled on his
lungs. He had a very bad cough
and was given up to die with con-
sumption. He went to see DR..
Doyle, who told him he must doe
tor him to bring out the measles,
though they were of more than ten
years standing. Using his teas
and other drugs he succeeded in
bringing out the measles and
cured Mr.. Estes, who lived to a
good old age. DR.. s. II. Ford
has said, he looked like Santa
Claus. at least like his picture. He
was medium height, very fleshy-
Il twinkling eye, smooth shaven,
rode generally on horseback with
saddle bags always with him. He
had a very miscellaneous son, named
Myers. This youth was always
playing some prank on his father.
When his father was going to fill
his appointment at Salem church,
near the Doctors home, his son
put deck of cards in his fathers
handkerchief and stuck the hand
kerchief in his cOat-pocket. When
the doctor arrived at the church,
and had begun to get warmed up
in his subject, crying as he told
the old story, he reached for his
handkerchief and as he raised it to
his weeping eyes, the cards flew
around as they fell. Not at all
disconnected he said, "This is
some of Myers work." and pro-
ceeded with his exhortatiOn, as
though nothing had happened.
At Bonnie Femme he was inter
esting David Moses by his illus
tratiOns, when he said, III go into
the sitting room, what do l sect A

His Life in the Southwest.

Judge Beans life had been a
southwest. He was typical kentuck-
ian, born away back in 1929, went to
Independence Miss, when a boy; at
sixteen made a trip to Santa Fe,
whittier Spanish priests carried civil
ization and began irrigation within tif-
ty-seven years after the landing OF
Columbus Later Mr.. Bean went with
General Donauhan to Mexico in the
early stages of the Mexican war, where
Grant, Mcclellan. Lee. Jefferson Davis
and other famous men won their first
spurs. For forty years Judge Beans
life was a succession of wild advent
ures. Even when he tried to settle
TO civil life in Chihuachua he was
forced to resume hostiities and shoot
Mexican for robbng his brothers S
store. OF the arrest, trial and escape,
Tucson and other frontier towns in the
Apache Southwest the incidents would
make a book of two hundred rawhide
pages. The man and his deeds became
the talk of the country.
After running gambling saloon
and and dance house in 1S5O-51 at San
Gabriel Mission, near Los Angeles, and
selling whisky at the Peno Alto mines
in Arizona, he drifted back to Texas,
and during the war freighted cotton
from Alberton. the terminus Of the
first little railroad in the state to Lodi,
Eagle Pass and Brownsville, bringing
on his return trips supplies to the Con-
federate government.
When the Southern Pacific was be-
ing built across the plains he opened
saloon and followed the camps. He
first located near the Pecos, to which
he gave the name Vinegerone Here
he built the walls, with a canvas avn
ing for roof, and sold whisky to the
thirsty laborers.
Much Shooting on the Pecos.
1t was here that he began his So
called judicial career. Gamblers flock
ed in and there was so much shooting
and such rapid increase in the popu-
lation o the little town that the con-
tractor in charge of the works wrote
to Governor Ireland and had Roy COM
missioned as justice of the peace
and a company of rangers detailed to
assist him. Roy Beans judicial ca
reer was marked by those extraordi-
nary decisions which became history.

HIS HONOR ROY BEAN
Interesting Stories Of the flan Who

II was a sad shock to the majesty

So11ire Bean, of Langtry, Tex, died
the other day. For years his honor,
Row Bean, had manufactured law to
order and enforced it with fines-and
six-shooters if necessary.
He was beloved and famous from
the Rio Grande to Frisco as a dis,

been on the gold coast in the early
days and was an oldtime vigilance

was called the Jersey Lily and was

where the railroad crosses the big
river. Over the front door of the
saloon, in flaming letters, was the

Judge Roy Bean was known every

his decisions pleased the people and
they called him Judge" Each day
when the overland express came thun-

NEFF BROTHERS TO LEAVE

on, In an unostentatious manner,
giving the people the opportunity
to secure the bes! in the market at
reasonable plice. The success
they me .ited was teeirs, customers
fl 1cked too, and filled their store.
Trade fourished, each moment saw
an increasing balance on the tight
side. They had felt the public pulse
and'made no mistake when they said
that Slstersville wanted and would
support an up to date grocery store.
From the day they opened the
doors to a curious and delighted
public success has been their por-
ton success that has been merited,
success that comes as a result Of
advanced business ideas intelli-
gently applied.
At the time they sold out tley
were easily the leading grocery
firm In the city. Their constant
and representative trade was a
flattering recognition of the mag
ni6cent system introduced In their
business life. To get something at
Nef7s was to get the best, and TO
get 1t at prices so reasonable as to
secure perfect satisfaction to both
seller and buyer.
Personally both brothers have a
city full of friends. Their business
ability and strict integrity secured
the confidence of the business COM
muuity while their social qualities
attracted large personal folio wing.
They were gladly welcome In the
most select circles and added to the
zest and enjoyment Of every social
function.
The Review regrets their depart
ure and enters with their many
friends In wishing success In their
new field. Ed has gone to be the
treasurer and Office manager for
the Belmont Shoe company, Of
Barnesvllle, Ohio, In which both
brothers are stockholders. His
elevation to this important and re.
sponslble position Is testimonial
to. his financial acumeu and business
ability.
Bruce will travel for the same
firm. 1t Is needless to say that
they will take to their new business
the same energy and ability and
perseverance that has made their
success so marked in the past.
