Boy Bitten By Mad Dog.
Special to Independent,

Special to lnoepenuent.
 Tuckerman, March 2O.-The ten-year-old son of Charley Franz living on the George Randy farm was bitten three or or four times by a dog affected with rabies. The boy was blowing in the field when attacked by the mad dog, but all of the bites were hardly more than skin ebrasions. The father took him to Searcy, where a mad stone was applied but would not stick.
 The dog which attacked young Franz is reported to have been killed later on the Lindley place.

NUMBER 296.
Children Have Narrow Escape.

Monday afternoon about five o'clock while Clyde Patton and his little IS months old brother, also Joe Robinson of East New port were driving to town and were about halfway across the bridge their buggy was run into by a team of mules driven by a man from the country, who was going out home.
 The buggy was completely torn up and it is miracle that the three children were not killed or thrown into the lake by the turn ing over of the buggy.
 The driver of the team of mules was certainly very ungallant for he never offered any assistance whatever to the children whom he left on the bridge to walk home.
 Mir. Patton feels that he was very fortunate even if his buggy was torn mp and says if the ami nal driven by his children had not been very gentle they would all have been killed.

GRAY HAIR TALKS
HAIR INDEX OF AGE. DON'T
LOOK OLD.

How often one hears the ex-
preston, "She is gray and is begin
ming to look DID," 1t is true that
gray hair usually denotes age and is
always associated with age. You
never hear one referred to as having
gray hair and looking young.
The hair is generally the index of
age. If your hair is gray, you can't
blame your friends for referring to
you as looking old. You can't retain
youthful appearance If you allow
your hair to grow gray. Many per-
sons of middle age jeopardize their
future simply by allowing the gray
hairs to become manifest. There is
no necessity for this. If your hair
has become faded or gray, try Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy, the
preparation which a chemist by the
name of Wyeth devised few years
ago. 1t is simple, inexpensive and
practical, and will Danish the gray
hairs in few days. 1t is also guar
anteed to remove dandruff and pro-
mote the growth of the hair.
1t Is a pleasant dressing for the
hair, and after using 1t few days
itching and dryness Of the scalp en-
tirely disappear.
This preparation is offered to the
public at fifty cents a bottle and Is
recommended and sold by

ABUSE OF POSTAL CARDS.
**%===%=**==$===

The use of postal cards has been
greatly abused in recent years. The
last ruling, however, is based upon the
grounds of decency.
The world is filed with dead beats,
as We all know full well. Because a
man owes a bill, however, does not
mean that he is a dead beat. There
may be legitimate reasons why he
does not meet this obligation prompt
ly every time. There may be sick
ness in the family and every man of
family knows what sickness means.
1t is most costly and in the anxiety
Of the moment bills are sometimes put
asied in order that the more urgent
obligations may be met.
Surely such a man deserves some
consideration, and the careless habit
of importuning him by postal card is
frequently most annoying and embar-
RAISING.
Every honest debt should be paid as
promptly as possible.
Usually the man who contracts a
debt does so with the honest intention
of discharging 1t when it falls due.
Most business men are equally willing
to extend the time of payment of the

down home some years ago, said a
Virginian at the Holland House to the
New York Sun reporter. His SER
mon was on religion, and during his
discourse he would say every few
minutes, "Breddern, 'ligion am full
and free" This point he strove to i'm
press upon his hearers and in one in.
stance at least he succeeded.
After the sermon the hat was pass,
ed, and as usual, the negro congrega.
ton was generous. But there was
one old darkey in the back of the
church into whose mind the theme
of the preachers discourse had sunk
deep. Just as the hat was about to
reach him he jumped to his feet.
Look heah, parson," he said /:
What yo' mean by passin' the hat
when yo' just done tole us emphatic
like dat 'ligion am full and free?"
The preacher was fully equal to the
emergency. He jumped to his feet
and pointed finger at the heckler.
Sit down, brudder," he command
ed. "Yassah," he went on. "'ligion
am full and free. Eff you was to take
a gourd and go down to the stream
and drink, de water don't cost you
nothin.' But eff you has de water
piped to you you has to pay for it.
Yes, breddern, 'ligion am full and
free, but remember, yo' has your re
ligion piped to you"
Some time afterward was visiting
a friend up in Canada. He was prom
inently identified with church which
was trying to raise money to pay off a

debt if it can be shown that there is
just cause for delay.
There are others who go through
life seeking to live without paying
any debts at all, and always trying
to get the better of some one. To
them debts do not count. They feel
that If merchant is willing to extend
them credit that they are just that
much ahead. To these men the dun
on postal card does not amount to
anything at all. The postal card is
tossed in the waste basket or family
stove. 1t does not worry or embarrass
the dead beat, but it does both to the
man of pride, who wants to pay, and
is prevented from doing so, promptly
because of the causes that are proba-
bly, not understood by the merchant
sending the reminder in the open
mails. 1t is private affair of the par
ties to the contract, and it is not the
business of others. Postal cards are
useful. We could scarcely get along
without them, but they were never in
tended to make possible nagging and
annoying the unfortunate.
They merely tell the general public
that man does not pay his debts;
they publicly expose him, and hold
him up to the ridicule of his associates
who may chance to read such cards.
The ruling of the postmaster general
therefore is most acceptable one,
and will be appreciated by the MAORI
ty of men who have been annoyed in
this Memphis Commercially
peal.

tary confinement in the old prison of
the Palace of Skulls, Madrid. After
thirty years in this living tomb, death
came to his release and the following
remarkable researches taken from the
Bible and marked with an old nail on
the rough walls of his cell told how
the brain sought employment through
all the weary years.
