POSTOFFlCE THIEF ARRESTED
Small Negro Boy Jailed for RObbing
Mail Box. Many Thefts Have
Been Committed.

Baptist West, negro boy about 5
years of age, was arrested Friday
and placed in Jail on the charge of
robbing a mail box in the postoffice.
Messrs. L. 0. Whitchard 81 Co.
we're expecting small attachment for
their gasoline engine and upon enquir-
ing at the postoftice in regard to it
learned that it had been placed in
their box. Mr.. Whitchard informed
Postmaster Lewis that the package
had not been received, and the latter
began an investigation, which result
ed in the arrest of the negro boy and
the recovery of the missing article.
The postotfice inspector was notified
of the arrest, but nothing has as yet
been heard from him. The boy is too
young to be prosecuted, and will
probably be given logging and re-
leased.
Several thefts of mail boxes have
been reported within the past few
months. 1t seems that a great many
renters of the combination boxes fail
to keep them locked, or even to fasten
them, and it is very easy matter for
anyone so disposed to rob them of
their contents.

The Grin,

"Before we can sympathize with 9th
ers we must have suffered ourselves. "
No one can realize the suffering at
tendant upon an attack of the grip un-
less he has had the actual experience.
There is probably no disease that
causes so much physical and mental
agony, or which so successfully dehes
medical aid. All danger from the
grip, however, may be avoided by the
prompt use of Chamberlain Cough
Remedy. Among the tens of thousands
who have used this remedy not one case
has ever been reported that has result
ed in pneumonia, or that has not re-
covered. For sale by Dawson Drug

DO NOT BE A BURDEN.
5ratton Gives Some Good Advice to
Readers of the Herald.

A weak stomach and its resulting
ills are not natural. With proper care
and the use of Mi-o-na stomach tab
lets, the very worst case Of indiges-
ton or stomach trouble can be com
Dletely cured.
1t is a sin to deprive oneself OF en-
ioyment Of life and become a burden
to others through Indigestion.
The backaches, headaches, distress
after eating, loss of appetite, gulping
up of undigested food and gases are
not natural Mi-o-na stomach tablets
used for few days before meals viii
so strengthen the digestive organs
that you can eat anything you want
without fear of distress or resulting
sickness.
The directions for taking Mona
emphasize the difference between this
remedy and the ordinary medicine
that is given for Indigestion. Mi-o.na
is to be used before mealss stEzx
ening the digestive system for tiieI
food which is to be eaten, while the
ordinary remedy is taken after meals.
and simply digests the food without
Strengthening the stomach.
Bratton Drug Co. has SO much faith
in the merit of Mona that they sell
it under a guarantee to refund the
money, in case it does not cure. A
80 cent box Of Mona will do more
real good than dozen packages of
the ordinary remedies sold for indI-
gestion. Then, too, it costs nothing
unless II cures.

LETTER TO PROF. R. c. T. JACOBS
Palestine, Texas.

Dear Sir: We should like to set
your boys and girls at work on this
question in arithemetic and casuistry.
A farmer is fatting three hogs in
three small pens; they have equal
room and straw and care, and are fed
in these three ways: first hog, on a
certain proportion of milk and cooked
'cornmeal; second hog, on the same,
half water; third hog, on the same,
half water and sawdust How long
will it take, how much will they
weigh, how much will they cost. and
what'l the profit be on the three?
And a similar question in pig
mentry. That same farmer is going
to paint three barns, same size; and
he says to three painters, "whatn you
take to paint that barn?"
First painter scratches his head
few minutes, and says: I'm do it for
$50"
Second painter: "S75.'
Third painter: S"yI4S.'
VIII they each get barn to paint,
or one get two, or one all three. or
nobody any; and what1l they make on
the job?
That's about how painting goes
sometimes.
But there is a waC to reckon: 50
a gallon. The difficulty is in knowing
how many gallons to buy. There's a
way out of that.
Buy the least-gallon paint, Devoe.
No matter how much one buys, he
returns what's left Costs nothing
Yours truly,
% +. w. DEVOE & co.

Calvert Business Houses Closed Dur
ing Hours Of Funeral.

Calvert, Texas. Oct 6.-The re-
mains OF J. Adoue were laid to rest
in the Old Cemetery of Calvert this
morning at 1920 The large con-
course of mourning friends testified
in small degree the love in which he
was held by the people of our city,
For over thirty years he had been a
friend and counselor of every one,
even the humblest of our citizens.
With heart that responded with
sympathy, the widow and orphan
never appealed in vain, and to the for
lorn and stranded brother he ex-
tended his strong right hand and with
words of sympathy and good counsel
babe him take heart again.
Jacques Adoue was born in Aurig-
mac, small village in the southern
part of France, on the goth day of
June, 1851, and first came to Calvert
in 1871, and has lived here ever since.
He leaves a wife and five children

Julian Adoue of Houston, Misses Lucy
and Maggie and James Adoue of Cal
vert; two brothers-B. Adoue of Gal
weston and J. B. Adoue of Dallas
and sister in France, also two
adopted children-Mrs. Sam p. Nc
Tendon of Waco and E. T. Beard of
Calvert.
For the first time in the history of
our city the doors of every business
house in Calvert was closed Saturday.
This was done as a mark of respect
to the memory of this good man. The
grave was entirely covered with floral
offerings received from all parts of the
state, and they were exquisite in de-
sign. Relatives and friends were
