|NEBRIATE HAD
THE WORST OF IT
Thought He Was Punching Mans
Head, But Found Himself Up
Against a Pile Of Boards.

Special to The NeUs.
New Orleans, Dec. 6.-Somewhere
in New Orleans a man awakened Sat.
urday morning wondering where he
got that remarkably sore pair OF
knuckles and with whom he had been
fighting. If he will apply to the night
cent Theaters he will be apprised of
what happened.
Between the two theaters at night
is placed large sign, a picture of
Geo. Evans of the Cohan and Harris
minstrels, in minstrel costume. Elec.
trio lights behind it cause the eyes
to blink and a cigar tip to glow.
About 2 o'clock Saturday morning,
while the Waterman was standing in
front of the Tulane a woeful inebriate
spied the sign which someone had
forgotten to take in from the Baronne
street entrance to the theaters. Care.
fully and cautiously he weaved his
way toward it for closer inspection.
Then he turned and retraced his
steps.
A few moments later the Waterman
saw him slipping up toward the sign
from the Common street entrance, and
before he could prevent him the inc
briate had hauled away and swung
with might and main on George Evans
face.
There amt any smoke goin' t.
wink at me-" he mumbled, and swung
again. Then he woke up, for the sign
instead of being canvas, was canvas
on heavy boards, and scarcely adapt
able as punching bag.
While the tired" gentleman wend
ed sorrowful way toward the street
nursing his punching hand, the watch
man disconnected the lights behind
the sign and took it inside the theatel
to save it from other attacks.

JACKSON HOPES
TO GET Meeting
Prospects for Securing National Con
vention Of Farmers Union Are
Thought to Be Favorable.
Special to The NetCs.

Special to The NeUs.
Jackson, Miss, Dec. 6.-Jacksop will
in all probability have the next meet
ing of the National Convention Of the
Farmers Union, thinks National
President Charles S. Barrett, who has
been in Jackson during the three days
convention of the state division, which
closed yesterday afternoon. Certain
it is that National Committeeman s. L.
Wilson will work toward that end, and
the support of President Barrett will
go long way toward getting it.
Although Mississippi has the strong
est membership and the most perfect
organization of all the states in the
union, and is further advanced in her
material evidence of these facts, this
state has never yet had one Of the
national conventions.
Last year, when the national con.
vention went to Texas, there was a
close vote on it, and Jackson came
near getting it. In the present in
stance, however, there will probably
be no opposition to Jackson as the
logical place for it. Both the time and
the place are to be fixed by the nation
al executive board next summer, and
the convention will be held some time
next September.

ABOUT THE IDLE
RICH Farmers
Growing Fear They Are Getting Rich
and Lazy and World May

New York Tribune.)

New York Tribune)
A news item which perhaps did not
attract general attention, but which
must be regarded with concern by
every thoughtful observer, was the
explanation of the present high price
and prospective prohibitive price of
butter. The reason given was that
the farmer was now too rich to milk
his cows. This sounds plausible. Nat
urally enough, the first task farmer
would omit would be milking. Every
story of the early life of a great man
Of rural origin began with the matter
of fact statement that he used to rise
at a. m. and milk the cows. Now,
rising at p. m. is irksome; that is,
to a rich man-take note of this
change in rural conditions-especial
rich man who has been riding in
his automobile most of the night be-
fore, after the present habit of our
farmers.
Perhaps we can stand the rise in
the price of butter due to the spread
of luxuries among farmers. 1t is only
one more commodity that is higher.
But where is this tendency to stop?
Now the luxurious farmer ceases milk
ing. What duty will he next find
interfering with his comfort? Here
he Is growing richer and richer each
year. You have only to read the i'm
pressive figures of Secretary Wilson,
showing how his crops are worth So
OOO,OO0,O00 or so annually, to imagine
his rapid strides into the forefront of
the leisure class. His ubiquitous
automobile is only a symptom of the
prosperity that eight new billions
each year spell. His swelling bank
account, his strong box full of rail
road stocks, his daughter being "ln
ished" in Paris-these are. all OF
them, the marks of a man who can af

to milk his cows because he is too
prosperous. he would naturally stop
doing as his wealth piled up year

Surprising, What Kodol Will Do
For you when you need it But the longer you neg lect Indigestion, the you will suffer before KodO can restore Good Digestion.

And. of course. indigestion ii neg lected long enough, brings on seri- ous diseases in which Kodol cannot benefit you Some of these there is no help for at all.
 There are. in fact. very few ail- ments which cannot be traced di- rectly to impure blood. And i'm pure blood is always due to . dis ordered stomach.
 Use Kodol and prevent Nervous Dyspepsia.
 Kodol will effectually assist Ma ture to secure a complete restora- tion of good digestion. 1t does this by at once digesting all food in the stomach and keeping it di- gested, until the stomach is rested and can resume its own work. Ko- dol removes the cause-and the effect quickly removes itself.
 When it is recalled that Apo plexy. Heart Disease, Cancer-and even Consumption-are due to poor digestion and poisons thus transmitted to the blood, and throughout the system-ths impor- tance of maintaining good diges- ton is at once realized.

1t had done no good whatever putting up
signs warning them or to keep bulldog

signs for several miles around inviting
the Wearies to call at my farm day or
night and receive a cordial welcome. They
averaged three per day before the signs
were up; after that l did not get one
