S. B. Bane has a great time with
his chickens. Among his roosters
are few that have won distinction.
One came from California and is
named after the state from whence
he came; another rooster is from
Missouri and you can guess his
name; but the ''cock of the walk"
is a home production and came
from the well-known game stock of
W. S. McFadden, Of this city.
California got SO mean with the
fowls that Mr.. Bane cleared the
deck few days ago with the in
tention of setting one rooster at a
time on California, and in this
manner reducing the bird in ranks.
The plan was first to turn "Mc,'
the game cock, On California, then
give Missouri trial, finally to en-.
list the services of any bird who
would fight. "Mc'' and California
spared a few seconds for an open
ing. Before Mr.. Bane could in
terfere poor, proud California wal
no more. Talk about your gam,
birds-have Judge McFadden Civ,
you "Mc's" pedigree.

The label on a certain spring water

Maurier, VILE was probably not over
paid for It, and New York artist who
has since gained distinction eked out
the hardest part Of his early struggles
by designing advertisements for a
commercial house. There have been
many more perhaps, but the most con-
spicuous on record is Bastien Lepage,
who through this very fact was forced
into fame. He was pursued by unmer-

efforts to study art. His mother worked

One day a manufacturer of some pat

work to this advertisement. He paint

The leaves of tender green quivered in
the breeze. A group of beautiful young
girls gathered around fountain from
which the elixir Of youth sprang in
bubbling stream. Lepage believed there
was real merit in it.
"Let me offer it at the Salony' he
asked his patron.
The manufacturer was delighted.
"But first paint rainbow arching over
the fountain" he said. with the name
Of my medicine upon It."
Lepage refused.
"Then I will not pay you sou for
the picture"
The price Of this picture meant bread
for months, and the painter had long
needed bread. The chance Of admis-
sion to the salon was small. He hesi-'

carried the canvas to the salon. It was

The Mexican people are hospitable to
fault, always welcoming their friends
even though they have not enough to
eat themselves. And they religiously
visit the sick, including those who
have contagious diseases. They are al
90 addicted to public social functions,
the invariable mode Of entertainment
being the dance. They are fond Of mu-
sic, though not proficient in the art Of
making it, probably more from lack Of
opportunity than from lack Of capac-
ity. The violin and guitar are the usual
instruments Of music. the repertory Of
the local musicians being usually linn
tied to few tunes which are in equal
demand for the dance and for the fu-
neral.
One Of the most interesting and beau
tiful Of the social functions is the prem

In which the compact was not kept, the
recreant bridegroom in that case being
visited with ostracism. The betrothal
is usually followed by marriage just as
soon as the services Of the priest can
be secured. The marriage ceremony is
followed by feast more notable for
the abundance Of things to drink than
for things to eat and by the usual
dance. Indeed the festivities are often
prolonged for several nights after the
wedding.--Southern Workman.

The principal work of the liver is the secre-

natural antseptic and cathartIc of the bowels.
A torpid liver means deficient bic secretion,
which later means constipation with its attend
ing evils;
The bile plays most important part in pro-
noting healthy digestion. Its absence results in
congestion OF the bowels, with indigestion, and
