Fourtee nth Century poeters.

Synge's Social Life in England quotes number of fourteenth century hints to success for physicians:
 Suppose you know nothing, say there IS an obstruction of the liver. Perhaps the patient will say. "Nay, master, i! Is my head or legs that trouble me-" Repeat that 1t comes from the liver, and especially use the word "obstruc. tion." for patients do not understand 1t, which is important.
 Never dine with patient who has not paid you. It will be cheaper to get your dinner at an inn, for such feasts are usually deducted from the surgeons fee.
 When you are treating wound or accident. the friends of the patient should be excluded, for they may faint and cause disturbance, but some times higher fee may be got from persons present fainting and breaking their heads against wood and the like than from the principal patient.

Cockades and Buttons,

The cockade originated simply in tAD knot of ribbons or strings by which the broad flaps of the seventeenth cen tury round hat were "cocked' Or drawn up to the brim in fine weather. and thus originated the three cornered hat as well as the cooked hat of later times. There was nothing specially military about the usage. as the ig. aorant assert. The same strings SUP vive in the loops of the hats of bishops and other ecclesiastical dignitaries in Great Britain. ill the strings of the hats worn by French cures and Span ish and Italian padres and in the cords which are still seen on the hats of some livery servants.
 It naturally became the custom for military men to "cock" their hats with served, and as the Hanoverian color was the convenient one of black the black cockade" became associated in the minds of the people with military uniform In an old Scotch song of Shirramuir, citing "Woodword's Her aldry." we read of "the red coat lads with black cockades," and a knot or white ribbons was naturally chosen as the badge of their opponents. When the old use of the strings was forgot ten the knot, in the form of rosette of ribbon. survived. just as did the buttons on the backs of our coats. which were intended to fasten back the flaps in riding or marching.-"Jus- tice of the Peace'

French Peasant Women Hard Workers

 The French peasant woman, Ere tonne or otherwise. works hard as any man. It makes one sad to see the women working in the fields, digging and delving, carrying heavy burdens driving the cattle, sometimes attend ing to the machinery employed on the farms. One wonders whether hus- bands and fathers appreciate 1t all. especially when you hear some of the ballads, for ballads are supposed to reveal the soul of a people, l heard one the other day of which the refrain Is as follows:

Is the city liable to the patrons
of it's water department FOR bursted
boilers, or heaters, in their homes?
That is the question now, and If
the bursting of boilers is due to the
reasons ascribed by a citizen who
has presented the council with bill
for $36 for three heaters that he
has bought since last May the inter
rogation is at least an important
one.
At the last meeting of the city
council Mr. J. M. Rauch presented
a bill for the above stated sum, and
asked that he be reimbursed the
amount on the ground that in the
past few months he has had to buy
and install in his home three new
heaters in the place of boilers that
were bursted by water hammer"
or air in the water main near a
dead end. This air, it is claimed,
causes a pounding and humping in
the boilers that soon breaks them,

PRESENTED COUNCIL BILL FOR BURS7ED BOILERS
Says Three Heaters Have Been Ruined by "Water Ham

The council tabled Mr.. Rauch's
bill, and decided to connect the two
mains with small pipe and see ii
that would not remedy the trouble.
For the past year or two there
has been considerable complaint of
bursted boilers in the homes of the
city, and consumers of the city's wa
ter, which is pumped from a big ar
tesian well, have been compelled to
spend hundreds of dollars buying
new boilers to replace heaters that
had sprung leaks.
The boiler doctors" however
have not agreed in diagnosing the
trouble, some saying that it is due
to water hammer" and others that
the boilers are eaten out by chemi
Gals in the water
Whatever it may be due to it has
proved quite expensive, and now that
the matter is up in the shape it is
and the council has taken notice a
remedy may be found.

TERRELL STANDS BY TICKET

to Get Voters to the Polls.
AS usual, the state election We'd
nesday was rather quiet affair, and
only ITO votes out of a possible
1850 were cast.
Here in Dawson the friends of
Hon Hoke Smith, nominee for gov
ernor, and some who were interested
in the fate of the City Court were
more or less active in urging voters
to go to the polls, and more votes
were cast at the town precinct than
otherwise would have been.
Although Mr.. Watson made a
speech here he did not succeed in
causing any considerable number to
break away from the nominee for
governor. But this was no surprise
to those who are acquainted with the
people of Terrell county.
The Vote for Governor.
Of the 40 votes that were polled
Mr. Smith received 615 as follows
Dawson 28S, Brentwood II, PARROT
So, Sasser 40. Herod q, Dover Al,
Twelfth 81, Eleventh 81.
Although he was in no sense a
candidate and was supporting the
nominee of the party 109 votes were
cast for Governor Brown as follows:
Dawson 10, Brentwood II, PARROT
IS, Sasser 9. Herod /, Twelfth 3S,
Eleventh ).
There were 46 who simply scratch
ed the ticket and did not vote for
any one for governor.
A ripple of excitement was caused
about noon by a report that all the
tickets containing Smiths name had
been stolen at the Parrot and the
Twelfth district precincts and tickets
with Browns name substituted for
them. Immediately supporters of
Mr.. Smith secured automobiles and
rushed to these places with a new
supply Of the regular ticket.

The highest number of votes cast
for any of the state candidates was
767 for w. j. Speer for state treas

While all three of the constitu-
tional amendments carried nearly
half of the voters did not care enough
about them to vote either way On
