"We never repent of eating
too Ii tie, was one of the ten
rules of life Of Thomas Jefferson,
president of the United States,
and the rule applies to every
one without exception during
this hot weather. because it is
hard for food, even in small
quantities, to be digested when
the blood is at high temperature.
At this season we should eat
sparing and properly. We should
also help the stomach as much
as possible by the use OF a little

Peeping Tom

"Peeping Tom was the name
bestowed by the indignant peas
antry on the one despicable lndl-
v1dua1 who dared to peep, when
in the days of old, Lady Godiva,
clothed only in her modest and a
wonderful wealth Of flowing hair
rode her palfrey through the
streets of the ancient town OF
Coventry in order that her hus-
band, the Earl OF Coventry,
might release the people she low
ed from petty bondage to
which they were unjustly subjec-
ted. The people so loved their
noble lady, so the story goes,
that all withdrew within their
houses and tightly closed doors
and windows until the strange
sacrifice had been made in their
behalf-all except" "Peeping Tom"
and to this day that is the name
usually given to low minded and
unprincipled wretches whoprowl
about at night trying to peep
through partially closed blinds
and windows for no seeming
purpose other than to intrude
upon the privacy of folks who
are unaware of their presence.
We regret to say that there is a
Peeping Tom in this town and
who must have been surprised
when on one of his recent noctur-
nal wanderings he approached a
window of an apartment Occu-
pied bv some young ladies. His
presence became known to them
and instead of screaming and
falling in a faint they hastily
armed themselves with brooms
and other similar weapons and
made a regular San Juan Hill
charge on the surprised intruder
who took to his heels and escap-
ed in the darkness. In his haste
he neglected to take his shoes
which he left near where he was
practlcing his X-ray stunt. We
are authorized to say that the
owner may call and recover his
property by proving ownership
and paying for this notice.

JAG SECURED FROM
The FESTIVE ONION
Texans Find More "Snakes" In
New HighbalI Than
in Whisky.

New Orleans, Aug. Pa new form OF
inte.nperance, the onion jag. has broken
out in Texas,
A a matter OF fact says Percy w.
Morrow, travelling passenger agent Of the
louisville and Nashville in Houston, half
of the saloons IN my part of Texas are
making more money out of onions than
they are on red eye, and the onion high
ball has su%pplanted the igina article
T. AS described by MIR. Morrow and others,
the effects of the Texas onion are pleas
ant and far reaching. First comes a
period Of peace with all the world, this
being followed by a %sojourn in the land OF
unalloyed bliss, and the climax coming
when the onion eater attains to the full
realization that he IS king of creation and
hat all men do him homage
To attain the full joy OF an onion jag,
one must indulge in the Texas article,
which is the size OF a well developed can
teloupe, and of 10000 times 10000 am
juicy, but the wires are said to be liable
to do short circuit at any moment
Instead of calling for whisky straight
or complicated concoctions, :n these days
of agricultural progress, the up-to-date
Texan demands an onion h%ighball. and the
mar behind the mahogany is busy devils
ing all kinds Of strange mixtures. Whisky
is In a fair way TO become a drug on the
market.
As the most defenseless creature from
the RIO Grande to the Panhandle, the
Mexican gypsy is blamed for introduction
of the onion jag. Onions are cheap, and
two jags may now be acquired for the
price Of one of the antiquated variety.
F1fty-seven new varieties of reptiles are
said to have been discovered since the
outbreak Of the new dissipation.

6uIly County People Are After
Direct Communication With

Onda. S. D. Aug. 2S.-With the hope
Of inducing the Great Northern to ex-
tend it's line from Aberdeen through
this county to Pierre, the capital city,,
the Commercial club has appointed a
committee Of three to visit ST. Paul and
confer with the railway officials. Fail
Ing In securing encouragement from the,
Great Northern the committee will con-
fer with officials Of the Minneapolis and
st. Louis.
During the first capital fight eighteen
years ago the people of Pierce built a
grade from that city through Onida to
Aberdeen lis miles. While the grade
has its desired effect hat of securing
votes from this quarter, it has remained
un!roned. The grade is in good shape,
however, and 1T is asserted that but
little work would be necessary to place
1t in readiness to be ironed.
Onida is a county seat town. but
has no railroad, and the people of the
community are desirious of direct COM
m~unication with the Twin Cities.
