ing kicked by horse last year.

Scratching The Ticket.
(Texas Farm and Ranch. J

There are some people who find
small reason to approve the arti-
cles which appear in Farm and
Ranch on political subjects. These
are non- partisan, and we are quite
willing to have the advice We give
taken by each and every political
party.
1t does not please some who
must secure Office by strict party
organization to have our paper ad-
wise our citizens to scratch the
ticket; but We do not believe any
citizen should sacrifice bis couD-
try for the sake of party loyalty.
If there be any question of party
loyalty, it will be best to scratch
the rascals off-the party may be
purified by defeating it's rascals.

Bridge Whist Epidemic.

An eminent physician of Now
York says that annually thousands
of people become nervous wrecks
through the excessive playing of
bridge whist; that they become un-
flied for useful duties aud that
their brains are affected, due to
the strain placed upon them iu
the playing of the cards.
1t is probable that the brains of
people who will sit nearly all day
and all night playing bridge were
never quite right to begin with,
says New York exchange. We
cannot imagine a really sound
person devoting any such time to
so simple a game and one that has
so little to offer for the time given
it.
When people will forget the
pure air, the bright sunshine, the
wealth Of woods aud the vigor that
all nature has to offer out OF doors
at this season, and will sit for
hours playing a silly game of
cards, there must certainly DO
something radically wrong in their
construction. We can see where
gamblers might be- attracted by
the winnings of such a trial, but
to devote SO many hours to a game
that hasn't even tho accompani-
ment of social intercourse is a
mystery that can only be explain.
ed by the absence of better know
lodge on the part of those who 30
engage in it.
Cases are numerous where poo
pie devote many hous each day of
the most attractive portion of tho
year to this childish test of pack
OF cards, the endeavor to defeat
someone in gaining a greater num-
Der of points.
Bridge is about the most fool
ish method for getting nothing out
of time we know. 1t 10 not edu-
is not an exercise, but is
wasting tho little gray matter of
heads that have none to spare. A
friendly game of cards of an eve-
ming is very good. but bridge % q
steady dict has nothing to com.
mend it to wholesome people.
