oyster Franks.

oysters are queer things. They
frequently act as if they had intelli-
gence, but you are too far north,
guess, to know about that"
The speaker was a Florida man who
is stopping for a while in town.
Have you ever heard" he contin-
ued, 'of the eccentric and waggish Pc
culiarities of the oyster? | have
known oysters when they got into the
mood to clasp about rats tail all
night, and they hold it tight as any rat
trap ever invented.
Il am told that upon certain occa-
sion, when a flask of whisky was bro
ken, large Blue Pointer was found
lying in a little pool of liquor, just
drunk enough to be careless of conse-
quences, opening and shutting it's shell
with a devil-may care air, as if he didn't
value anybody little bit, but was
going to be as noisy as he possibly
could.
A drunken man is a sad enough OBJ
ject to behold; drunken woman is
worse; a cow intoxicated is amusing;
a swine drunk on brandy cherry stones
is disgusting, but an oyster drunk
constitutes the sublime of inebriation.

HAPPY CHILDHOOD.
Right Food Makes Happy Children Be-
cause They Are Healthy

Sometimes milk does not agree with
children or adults. The same thing is
true of other articles of food. What
agrees with one sometimes does not
agree with others.
But food can be so prepared that it
will agree with the weakest stomach.
AS an ustration-anyone, no matter
how weak the stomach, can eat, relish
and digest a nice hot cup of Postum
coffee with a spoonful or two Of Grape
Nuts poured in, and such a combina-
ton contains nourishment to carry one

particle of it will be digested and
taken up by the system and be made
use of.

might be returned tickets, which they
could purchase at the last moment.
One woman, with tears in her eyes
and voice, declared that she had come
seventy-five miles to hear the Swedish
national hymn.
For more than two hours lovely
blue-eyed girl stood with her pale face
almost pressed against the glass door.
Finally some one said to her, Come

The especial advantage of the Couch
Casket is found in its relief from that
stiffness usually noted in all other
designs, and impressing the minds Of
the friends as well as that of the fam
lily with a feeling of peace and rest
fulness not known before.
If 1t is desired to retain all of the
preservation qualities as found in the
copper Innings, the Couch Casket can
be enclosed in a metal lined outside
box, which will then answer the dou-
BILE purpose of preserving both the
casket as well as the remains.
All undertakers in the south should

improved goods, as the National Cas-

ports, issued twice daily, have come
to be looked for in every portion Of
the United States by all the people,
whose daily life is to certain extent
influenced by them, and the value of
it's work in the saving of life and ship
ping on the coasts by its prediction OF
storms and floods, as well as the saw
ing to the crops through timely no
tice of sudden changes, such as frosts,
etc., is incalculable.
The work which the people know
best is the general forecasts of the
weather, which are conducted on the
best obtainable system. Forecasts
which, though founded on an order Of
things as subject to law as the courses
of the stars, are far from having yet
reached the precision of astronomical
science, though the results obtained
are unrivaled in their excellence by
those of any other nation. The prepar-
alton of the weather map involves the
daily sounding of iF,e heights of the
aerial ocean above, simultaneously by
observers all over the country, and the
Joining of these sounding stations on
the map by contour lines which indi-
cate the direction of that great aerial
oceans flow. This direction can not,
Of course, be determined with any
thing like the certainty at1ainable in
the deduction of the path of star,
yet the result, though still a probable
ity only, is a very useful one by which
we all guide our daily lives. Will it
be greatly better for us if it is ever
otherwise, and we come to the time
when we know long in advance what
the weather will be, and this and
many other like uncertainties are
wiped out from the variety of our
daily life?

thank you for the fine health enjoy.
When was thirty-fve years old, I

get well, and reading of the cures your
Compound had made, / decided to try
it. took only six bottles, but it built me
up andcured me entirely of my troubles.
My family and relatives were
naturally as gratiaed as l was. My
niece had heart trouble and nervous

The success of the Tuskegee

and the effective work it is doing
under the presidency of Booker
L. Washington is illustrated in the
last annual report, which shows
that of the 525 young men who
left school for vacation practically
all of them we're hired before the
term ended. One Mississippi firm
employed twenty-five of the stu
dents and sent railroad tickets for
their transportation. Agents from
various industrial establishments
visited tie Institute to urge stu
dents to enter their employ. A
Birmingham, Ala, manufacturing
firm has a standing offer at the
Institute for all tie students
that Booker Washington will rec
ommend, and situations were open
this year for twice the number
recommended. In most cases the
students we're desired for positions
requiring skill and high order of
intelligence.

The Election

of 1904 will be a subject for the
historian. The voters will have
decided whether they are satisfied
with Theodore Roosevelt, the theo-
ries and practices of the Admins
tration, or whether they desire
Alton B. Parker for chief magis-
trate, who stands for the indepen-
dence of the Filipinos, a tariff re-
form and a curtailment in the
growth of the army and navy.
1t has been a peculiar campaign,
free from red fire, torch light
parades and hurrah boy methods
Of previous battles. No new is
sues have been presented to arouse
the people, Roosevelt standing pat
on the doings of his party, which
has forced the Democrats to attack
the record of the Republicans, the
charges being extravaganza, cor
ruption and incompetence. But
the citizens have not enthused to
the liking of the spell-binders of
either party and they are at a loss
to account for it. Some assert that
the voters long since reasoned the
case out to their own satisfaction
and are notsusceptible to campaign
orators, while others claim that the
voters are sodisgusted with alleged
corruption in both leading parties
that they are Indifferent as to
which one wins. The total vote
will tell. If smaller than previous
years, in proportion to the increase
in population, a return to former
campaign methods may be looked
for. If larger it will prove that
the citizens are doing their own
reading and thinking and that APP
peals to reaso are moro effective
than appeals to prejudice.
There is another phase of the
campaign which should not be
overlooked. There is no denying
the fact that there has been a strong
social growth during the last two
years. 1t may defeat the Republi-
cans in West Virginia, Indiana,
Illinois and Wisconsin. In the
manufacturing and mining centers
the Socialist propaganda has been
gaining steadily. In Colorado,
which gave its electoral vote to
the Democrats four years ago, the
Socialist spirit is strong. In the
cities of Massachusetts, Rhode Is
land and in Washington and Ore
gon the labor vote has been making
great strides, and may play a
greater part in these states than
people think, although some of the
labor leaders like John Mitchell
and Mayor Schmidt of San Fran
cisco are said to favor Roosevelt.
Next to the Presidency, the con-
troll of the House of Representa-
tives in the next Congress is the
most important issue. The Re-
publican majority in the Senate is
too large to be imperiled by the
election, but in the House of Rep
resentatires the Republicans have
a majority of only "a. The mem
bership exclusive of four vacan
cies is: Republicans 208, Demo-
Gratis 172, Union Labor Democrats
2. There are 80 Democrats and 26
Republicans who hold their seats
by pluralities of less than 1000
votes. These districts are gener-
ally regarded as debatable. 1t is
the expectation that whichever
party elects its candidate for Pres
ident will also elect a majority of
the House. This has been true in
every presidential election since
1872, with the exception of 1875.

SCHOOL POPULATION.

The school census for the Medi-
cine Lodge district has been COM
pleted and it shows 33o children of
school age in the district. Last
year there were $50 while two
years ago there were 361. A re-
publican friend suggested when he
saw the figures, that the people OF
this district are not paying enough
attention to President Roosevelt's S
campaign against race suicide and
he tried hard to convince us that
Medicine Lodge is Democratic.
But that was one time when he
was wrong. Medicine Lodge, we
regret to say, is the hotbed of
republicanism in Barber county.
