TELEPHONE STORIES.

If the telephone girls could be induced to tell all the good things they hear over the lines they would keep the town in a roar for a month, says the Poplar Bluff Citizen. For instance: A Mississippi county hello girl told the Charleston Enterprise that a Charleston married man had just called central on the telephone one night recently when his little daughter, arrayed for bed, came into the room and he said Hello, dear, coming to kiss me good night?' Central thought he meant her and re- piled, "Why, 1 can't possibly get away just now.'
 Nearly every day some one in- vents or discovers new use for the telephone. One day the girl at central received this message: Hello, say central, 1 have put the receiver of the phone in the baby's cradle and if he wakes up and cries call me at No. 71."
 It must have been an unusu- ally absent-minded who sent in the message: "Oh, Central! Ring me up in fifteen minutes, so I won't forget to take the bread out of the oven"
 Perhaps one of the funniest remarks that came to tele- phone girl was one from mar ried man who had been out with the boys. He got to his office about midnight, reached the phone and asked the girl if his wife had been calling him. 'Yes," answered the girl on duty, "she tried to get you sev- eral times" "Glad she didn't" " came back the answer; eff she had got me what she would have done to me would have been a plenty"

 CONSTIPATION.
Everyone Knows When He is Consti- pated and Everyone Should Know the Risk He is Running When He Fails to Promptly
 Correct it.
Any Disease Epidemic or Otherwise to Which He or She May be Exposed
 is Sure to Result Seriously.

There are two ways to remove consti- patton; the wrong way is to drench the bowels with powerful, gripping, drastic cathartic that injures the coating of the bowel channels and produces all early return of the trouble in more chronic form. The right way is to use a natural, easy and mild laxative that tones tp and strengthens the bowels and leaves a healthful influence behind it. Prickly Ash Bitters will empty the bowels just as thoroughly as the harsher cathartics, and combines all the tonic and strength ening properties necessary to perma' nently cure the habit.

The doctor is still in pursuit of the
boil weevil and other enemies of the
Texas agriculturist. Speaking of his
work DR.. Knapp said;
THE object of these openair meet
ings that have been holding has been
to encourage the farmer and make it
possible for him to reap a suitable re-
ward for the efforts he puts out next
wear. The talks that I have given
we're not confined to cotton raising;
but | have endeavOred to show to the
.rner the advantages of diversified
ton, in other words, instead of plant
inc several acres to cotton he could
reap more ready money by planting
said acreage to alfalfa, corn, or fruit,
by so doing he would not be confront
ed by small price for his cotton
next year, and would be in position
to say to the buyer l have something
to sell besides cotton.

possible the time will be changed

local New Orleans minister. Several
ministers were not assigned, but with
in a week it is thought all the churches
will be supplied.
Rev. Taylor says it rained every
day the conference was in session.
The Indictment weather led to a dis
cussion as to the practicsbility OF
changing the date of the meeting, and
it is probable all the future meetings
will be held in the month Of December.

Coca Times Coming.

Unless all signs fail, there are
several reasons why the rice farmers
of the Gulf Coast country will be in
better shape before many moons than
they have been for the past two sea.
sons, says the Gueydan News. The
principal causes contributing to such
a ch-hoped-for condition of affairs
in the rice belt are summed up in the
expected closing out OF about all the
stocks now on hand Of the past two
years, the large reduction in acreage
this season and the constantly increas-
ing demand for rice both in the home
and foreign markets. At the present
rate of selling, there will not be any
rough or clean rice left by the time
this years crop is ready for harvest
ing. Buying Is good and growing
stronger all the time as the stocks on
hand get less. Prices are little bet
ter and the indications are that they
will go still higher. How much, no
one cares to prophesy, but any ad-
vance is just that much gain to this
part of the country. When the rice
is all in this year the reduction of
acreage will be something almost un-
heard of before, as it will safely be
forty per cent less than that Of last
year and probably more.
