NAT CLIFFORD TALKS
 OF FORTUNE TELLERS

even engaged to be married. If pretty she Is eligible for both. If not she wishes to be eligible. If the former she has presumably several suitors. If the lat ter she would like to have them if she be without them.
 Already there is good foundation for the fortune teller to start his or her game of talk. Nature insists on neutral izing colors and sizes Nature applies the law of averages. If fair, the prob abilities are 10 to 1 that the girl fancies a dark man. If tall she likes stout or medium man. With little pump ing the fortune teller can readily tell whether the girls lover Is near or dis tant. By watching her closely you can tell whether or not she thinks he loves her.
 Guess accordingly. A few correct guesses will satisfy the most exacting customer. The rest Is easy enough-all you have to do is to lead them along
 If the girl be young and wears a silver ornament, the odds are 1t was given her by some poor relation or neer' do well beau. If the ornament be gold the odds are that 1t was given her by some well-to-do admrer. The fortune teller guesses accordingly.
 "Tell the melancholy customers mel ancholy things. the buoyant, bright things. Then they think you can read their thoughts. Don't forget to cheer up the mournful with hope for better things. Hope, you know springs eternal in the human breast Bid the buoyant to be- ware, or at least to be on their guard. That fiatters their sense of prudence.
 Tn word take little knowledge of human nature, add keen observation and stir with a whole lot of tomfoolery talk and humbug and you have the recipe for making the ordinary fortune-teller."

Shot Full of Holes.

q am o5 years old, and have been a great sufferer from headache all my life. One of Dr. Miles circulars was left at my door, and what it con- tained about headache inter- ested me, so that l determined to invest a dollar in their make of shot, and go gunning for that headache. The first charge brought it down, but I contin- ued to shoot until the thing was shot so full of holes that believe it will never come to life again. l consider 1t the work of "good Samaritan" to spread the knowledge of what pr.

MEDICAL SOCIETY
 TO MEET TONIGHT
WILL PROBABLY RECOMMEND THAT QUARANTINE AGAINST MONTGOMERY BE RAISED TO- MORROW MORNING.

The Jefferson County Medical society will meet tonight at o'clock in the city hall building. Among other important matters to come up before the meeting will probably be a motion to recommend to the board of revenue that the quaran- tine against Montgomery be raised.
 The medical society will probably hear reports from several committees which have been making investigations along special lines regarding certain health con- ditions in Birmingham.
 It is not improbable that the attention of the society will be called to the fact that some few dairymen in the county have been adulterating milk by adding boracic acid for the purpose of pre- serving the milk and keeping it sweet beyond the normal length of time.

 Had Separate Schools.
 'At Graves Mines last year we sepa- rated the schools by dividing the fund, and gave each school a five months term. This was done with the distinct un- derstanding that the schools would be merged this year, but whether they will be or not we have as yet had no intima- ton. It Is the policy of the board not to divide the school fund nor establish separate schools for the children of union and non-union men.
 At Belle Sumpter and Johns we are having the same trouble. The school at Johns is in union territory. and non- union mepe have refused to send their children to 1t, although the school is open to all children in the district.
 "We divided the fund for Adger last year, and established two schools with the understanding that they should be merged this year We realize that the fewer the schools the better 1t will be for all and our situation Is very unfor- tunate. The feeling is very bitter between the union and non-union men at all the places l have mentioned, and what We are to do l do not know"

TO give TO a common people the most

OF the name philanthropist" in its true
sense This may be done by making
this interurban real instead of imagin-
airy, as il seems TO me.
After you viii have travelled this
eight miles of bottom you arrive at the
village of Andalusia with a population
of about 400 souls. Nature has done
much for this place to make IL an ideal
spot for a settlement. and during the
summer the people are very much
alive. as shown by the passenger traffic
on the tri-weekly steamer. During the
month of August over 500 tickets We're
sold from this place and a correspond
ing amount paid in freight. But in the
winter these people. having no way
to get out only to drive over the bot
toms to Rock Island via Milan and

when spring comes some of these
things may be real.
Valuable Clay.
Before we leave this stretch of road
| wish to call your attention TO the
fine clay just west of Andalusia. This
is so valuable that many car loads
have been taken out. hauled by wagon
to the sand ridge, loaded on cars and
shipped to Milwaukee and other places
and is in demand at the present time.
The villagers expect great things from
the clay when the road is built. Mr.
Editor, this brings us down TO Green
bush school house. two miles west of
Andalusia, and l dare say if the road
is built no farther than here it will
be a great help 10 your city, boon to
the people along the route and make
money for those who finance it. If
you publish this piece. as you did my
