 Eufaula. Dec, 11.-(Special.) )-The store house and contents of Boyett, Sparks and Wilson. a large mercantile firm, who did business at Morris Sta ton, fifteen miles on the Georgia side, was destroyed by fire Saturday night.
 Origin of the fire Is unknown but is supposed to have caught from the chimney as the flames were first dis covered in the roof of the building. The stock was partially covered by insu- rance to the amount of $S.O0O, and the building for $250. The firm has not yet decided as to rebuilding.
 Cotton is still being rushed in to the market here and nearly all the ginner- les are still running, and some cotton remains yet to be picked.

Laughter Aids Digestion,

Nothing else will take the place OF
good cheer and laughter at meals or
any other time in the home. There is
a vital connection between amiability
and digestion-between good cheer and
assimilation. Laughter is the best
friend the liver has, and depression, or
melancholia, its worst enemy. Numer-
GUS experiments have shown that
mirth and cheerfulness stimulate the
secretion of the gastric juices, and are
powerful aids to digestion. Yet, know
ing this, many Of us sit as gloomy and
absorbed at the table as at funeral.
In many homes, scarcely a word is
spoken at meals. outside of requests
for an article of food.
The meal hour ought to mean some
thing besides supplying a mere animal
function. The bell which calls the
family to the table ought to be the sig
nal for good time generally, when all
cares should be thrown of and every.
body appear at his best. 1t ought to
signalize the time for mirth and laugh
ter. 1t ought to be looked forward to
by the members of the family as the
recess or incoming is looked forward to
by pupils in school, as a let-up from
the strenuous life.-Success Magazine.

HOW ANIMALS PLAY.
They Are a. sportive as the Children
of Men.

They Are a. Sportive az the Children
Of Men.
The sense of humor in animals
awakens very early. A ferret will
play with her kittens, a cat with hers,
dog with her puppies. A mare will
play with her foal, though perhaps sci.
dom or never has any one seen a COW
trying to amuse her calf nor any birds
their young. II their mothers do not
amuse them the young ones invent
games of their own.
A flock Of ewes and lambs was once
observed in adjoining fields, separated
by fence with several gaps in it.
Follow my leader" was the game
most in favor with this flock, the big
gest lamb leading around the field and
then jumping the gap, with all the
others following in single file; any
lamb that took the leap unusually well
would give two or three more enthus-
iastics jumps or exuberant happiness
when 1t reached the other side.
Fawn5 play sort of cross touch
from one side to the other, the touch"
in each case being by the nose Little
pigs are also great at combined play,
which generally takes the form of
races. Emulation seems to form part
of their amusement, for their races
always seem to have the winning Of
the first place for their object, and are
quite different from those combined
rushes for food or causeless stampedes
in which little pigs are wont to indulge.
Racing is an amusement natural to
some animals, and, being soon taught
by others, becomes ole Of the most ex-
citing pastimes. Many horses and all
racing dogs learn to be as keen at
winning as schoolboys.
Birds delight in the free and fanciful
use of their wings. There is all the
difference possible between the flight

Coffee agreed well enough for a
time, but for number of years 1 have
known that 1t was doing me great
harm. but, like the rum topper,
thought I could not get along without
1t. It made me nervous, disordered
my digestion, destroyed my sleep and
brought on frequent and very distress

a coffee jag on, I would give up
drinking 1t for a few days till my
stomach regained a little strength,
