The Jewish Closing.

The Brinkley Jewish store keepers observed Yom Kippur, the holiest day in the Jewish calendar, for 24 hours ending yesterday evening at six o'clock.
 In the observance of this day, our Jewish friends abstained from all food, marking the ob- servance of the reformed life. Today is the 11th day of the month Tishri of the year 5671 of the Jewish calendar.
 Tom Kippur is the second of three great Jewish festivals fall ing in the month of October. New Year Day was celebrated on Oct. {, and five days hence, on Oct. 18th, the Feast of the Tabernaeles will be observed by Hebrews the world over. The observance of this feast, called in Hebrew, Succoth, continues for eight days, ending with the day of solemn assembly.

 ! The demonstration farm of the Brinkley Car Works-a 70 acre tract 5 miles south of Brink ley which a year ago was a pine forrest and which is now totally surrounded by timber, has been made the subject of some art photos by Stroud 6 St. Clair. The splendid yield of rice on this tract is proof positive of the superior quality of cut over land in this belt-land that can be bought at $8 or $9 per acre. THE RICE CROP CONDITIONS. From every part of the Brink ley rice belt comes the report of hard rains this week and several of the reports indicate that there will be considerable damage to follow. The rainfall has been abnormal and it has surprised everybody for 1t is Very unusual to see the heavy and frequent rains in this section at this time of the season.
 The threshing has been going on a pretty lively rate until this weeks rain stopped it.
 Just the extent of the damage is hard to conjecture. Some of the rice men are more optomistic than others and claim that the loss is very small and that the sunshine will be with us again in drying things out and dispel- ing all vestage of loss.

 In the last case however my wife agreed to try your Baby Balm. 1 went to my doctor and told him that 1 wanted to try 1t. He said he did not know what 1t contained but to give it trial. We did, and it worked like a charm. Now my wife will not be without it and the baby has not had a bad case with his bow els since we began using it. You know how parents are about the baby. We watch him and if any trouble is indicated Brooks Baby Bowel Balm is put into service promotly and it has not failed to keep him straight so far.
 I have been at the drug stores here on different occasions when parties come in for baby medi- cine and I just can't (and don't try) to keep from ''buttin' in' and telling them to get your |

Elephants' Love For Emery.

Strange as it may seem. the elephant is passionately fond of finery and de lights to see himself decked out with gorgeous trappings. The native princes of India are very particular in choos- ing their state elephants and will give fabulous sums for an animal that ex actly meets the somewhat fanciful standards they have erected. For these they have made cloths of silk so heavi- ly embroidered with gold that two men are hardly able to lift them.-Pearson s Weekly.

After twenty years service he re- ceives second pin modelled on the same lines and mounted in gold. The higher grades of employees, including the engineers and those employed in the counting house. wear their shells in the form of sleeve links. The work men are very proud of this distinction, which they call the Order of the Shell and wear on every possible occasion.

 Iris not manners as soon as you are set at Table to bawl out, I eat none of this. 1 eat none of that. care for no Rabbit: 1 love nothing that tastes of Pepper. Nutmeg. Onyons.' " etc.
 After stating that "some have been so refined in Foreign parts that they will neither be covered. nor sit wieh their backs to the picture Of an enh- nent Person." the writer goes on to remark that "there are sonN who eat with that eagerness and iulpatience, they eat themselves out oi breath and will pant like broken winded Horse, but these are not to be indured."
 He also warns his pupil thus:
 "When you are talking to any one do not Continually punch him in the side. as some people do; who, after every sentence keep asking the person they are conversing with, Did l not tell you SO? What say you. sir?' and in the meantime they are every moment jogging and thrusting him with their elbows, which cannot be considered as mark of respect"

BAGGING A b|G TIGER
The Jungle Monarch Was Trap
 ped LoIling In His Bath.
A FEAT OF MARKSMANSHIP.
Only the Brute's Head Showed Above the Wster, and the We'll Placed Bull let, Fired From an Elephant, Entered the Nostrii and Broke His Neck.

An interesting account of a tiger hunt is given by one who had wide experience in hunting this most dan gerous of beasts. Mounted upon ele- plants. the writer and his companions had been beating the jungle without making find until. as they were about to give up the search, a sudden disturbance among the elephants ap- peared to betoken tiger near at hand. Giving directions to the others as to the order of marching their ele- phants, the writer ordered his ma hout to turn into the thick feathered foliage to the left in search of pool of water which he remembered to be there
 There was a slight descent to long but narrow hollow about fifty or sixty yards wide. This was filled with clear water for an unknown length.
 was just about to make remark when. instead of speaking, gently grasped the mahout by the head as I leaned over the howdah and by this signal stopped the elephant
 There was remarkable sight. About 120 yards distant on my right the head and neck of large tiger. clean and beautiful. reposed above the surface of the water, while the body was cooling, concealed from view. Here was our friend enjoying his quiet bath. while we had been pound- ing away up and down the jungles which he had left.
 Fire at him." whispered the ma hout. "or you will lose him! He will see us and be off"
 Hold your tongue" l answered. "He cant see us, for the sun is at our back and is shining in his eyes See how green they are"
 At this moment the tiger quietly rose from his bath and sat up on end like dog. I never saw such sight. His head was beautiful, and the eyes shone like two green electric lights as the suns rays reflected from them, but his huge body was dripping with muddy water as he had been reclin- ing upon the alluvial bottom.
 For quite minute the tiger sat up in the same position. At last, as if satisfied that he was in safety and se- clusion, he once more lay down with only the head and neck exposed above the surface.
