Too Much Punk.

Not SO long since the Register

pany, which is not going about the
country for its health, merely,
with the request that the same be
published, and that in return for
same ticket good for editor and
lady, would be honored on pre-
sentation of evidence that adver-
tisement had been inserted, says
the Rockford (Ia.) Register. On
reflection we concluded that we

the pleasure of showing a comp

considerable, altogether too much
punk was needed to fire the crack

attending the circus. Which in

is about time for the country edi-

which if he did, would prove a

be taken for granted that the gen.

i When State Superintendent X. L.
Jones spoke in the opera house al
Pulaski recently, Prof. j. J. Zuc-
carello, Chairman of the Board OF
Education, introduced him in the
following manner:
Ladies and gentlemen, as it is
my happy privilege, | will give
you a biographical sketch Of dis
tinguised character in Tennessee
school history. Away up near the
beautiful mountains of East Ten
nessee, where they have just as
much genial sunshine, and | be-
lieye a much greater moonshine,
there was reared gigantic speci-
men of that prolific Jones family.
BY faith when he had come to years
he chose rather to suffer affection
with the people of God than to en-
joy the pleasures of idleness for
season, SO he became a country
school teacher and taught seven
years upon salary of $40 per
month (which he himself says he
did not deserve(.
AFTER teaching several years
and receiving his share of the
abuses characteristic to the pro
fession, and finding that it did not
stunt him in the least, he next as

where he would have free
access to a greater supply Of such |
abuses.
Realizing that just such diet as
he had been feasting upon was
conducive to his physical organi-
zation, and that he was growing
so fast and fattening so rapidly
that he would soon outgrow the
limits of the position, he hardly
knew what to do next.
"But, fortunately for him, just

made him the scapegoat Of his own

DYSPEPSIA AND DESTINY.
Men Who Neglected Their Bodies
When Success Was High.

When Success Was High.
Man has machine, an apparatus
of delicate adjustment but of great
Ipower-his body but too often be
neglects to use it. He lets it rest
in ease or slumber in sloth. He
coddles it. He arrays it in fine
linen and purple, bedizzens it with
Jewels and pampers it with indi-
gestible foods, often sparing it the
arduous labor of masticetion. He
permits it to sit awkwardly with
crossed legs or stopped shoulders,
as If the trunk was too fragile to
hold up its limbs, or the weight of
the atmosphere was an Atlas load
for its back.
And what reward hath the mind
for this indulgence granted the
sYbarite teshg Ingratitude and
complaining accompanied by accu-
sations. The poor, debilitated
muscles and nerves justly charge
that the overseer mind has been
neglectful of its duties, and, des-
pairing SO weak and ignorant a
foreman, desert and rebel and
leave their should-be boss impo-
tent to carry out the true work
of the man.
The marvellous mind Of AIexan-

unconcerned as ever, however, when the

be tired or hurt much. as his opponents
blows were light.

Willis OF North Providence stopped the
exhibition. Before the order was given
Doyle was on his feet and ready to keep

which would be good for the next ex-

fore the main bout was started. II was

peared In their boxing costumes. Neither
man at first wanted TO go on, but finally
a satisfactory arrangement was made
Throughout the evening there was rum

the property could be placed In the hands

larger sum- IL the attachments were not

will be placed upon houses which the
Home Realty company has erected for
itself and for individuals.
Attorneys interested in behalf OF clients
believe that the recording OF these at

will force a thorough investigation of
the affairs of the company.
