clan says, IF it were not for
the thin stockings and thin soled
shoes worn by women the doctors
would probably be bankrupt. "

THE GIRL OF THE GOLDEN WEST

Tonawama Stock Co. will pro
duce the above play on the even
ing of Dec. 18th. The play
should have been produced before
but circumstances have been
such that it was impossible to
get it on and the cast was more
or less discouraged over delays
over which they had no control.
It's is a fine bill and has been see 4
by some at outside points. 1t is
written for a smaller cast and
less elaborate stage settings for
productions in smaller places,
therefore this bill is not just as
it is produced by large companies
in large opera houses. However,
the play is given just as the
manuscript is received by the
local company and is complete in
every necessary detail. Two or
three very strong characters in
this bill will surely be appreciat-
ed by the play goers of Burns
and it will certainly be a nice
diversion for the holiday period.
Reservations may be secured
at any time By phoning The
Times Herald but the box office
will be open on Thursday after
noon. The usual prices will be
charged. Remember, this is an
opportunity to see one of the
most popular dramas of the times.

Man Body Turned to Stone

Frank Worden, of Colfax, Ia,
will give $1,000 to any surgeon in
the United States who will break
his back with anything short Of
a sledge hammer. Warden spent
last week in Omaha and was
seen by a number Of physicians,
but when he left the city he
carried his thousand dollars with
him.
Worden is an ossified man. He
is a farmer. With the exception
of his eyes, tongue and arms
from the elbow down he is one
huge piece of bone, without a
Joint or hinge of any kind His
body is as hard as stone and as
rigid as a piece Of steel. He
cannot laugh. He cannot even
smile.
Eighteen years ago Worden
awoke one morning with n stiff
neck There was no pain, but
he could not move his head. He
paid no attention to 1t Mt first.
But the afIliction grew worse.
Finally he consulted the family
physician.
Just n little stiffness" said
the doctor. "That'll soon wear
off.
But the stiffness did not pass
away.
When Worden felt his jaws be-
coming set he placed small
wedges Of wood between his
teeth, and in that position the
lower portion Of his face became
rigid. In time the wedges were
removed and the teeth were left
about half an inch apart.
Through this aperature he is fed
| liquid food. He cannot masticate,
Gradually the hardening affect
ed his body, his limbs, and then
his feet. In eight years Worden's S
feet and ankles were as rigid ms
stone. BY this time also the
arms were perfectly rigid except
at the elbow. The wrists, fingers
and forearm are all pliable. al
though Worden says he can feel
his hands are getting a little bit
heavier than they were.

COW MAKES NEW RECORD.

All records for milk and butter
tests have been shattered by Creamelle
Vale, a blue blooded Holstein, Z years
old, Of the Deutchland farm OF F. F,
Field and Earl Upton, after nearly
eleven months effort.
The COW has given 26,9S0 pounds OF
milk, the equivalent of about $4,000
quarts, with a monetary value OF ap-
proximately $1,000, since November 10,
1912. An average COW gives, accord
ing to the department of agriculture
statistics, about 5000 pounds of milk
year. Creamelle Vale in one month
has given 1900 pounds.
At her best, Creamelle Vale has
given 10S pounds of milk day. which
is at the rate of Az pounds an hour.
The present record for year is ~
432 pounds OF milk. This Creamelle
Vale should equal In the next ten
days, and 1t is expected that her mark
for the full year will be more than
$4,000 pounds.-Brockton (Mass.) Tel
egram to New York Tribune.
We sincerely hope our Texas long.
horn cows will not be discouraged by
the above report. The milk average
for Texas longhorns, by careful juic-
ing and thorough stripping, is a quart
every other day. The Texas COW, how
ever, has been so busy providing the
rest Of the world with beef supply
that she has really never given much
attention to the milk and butter bust
ness.

STEALING AND sTEALERs.

A great many substantial citizens
have always felt rather proud Of their
exploits in hooking fruit when they
were boys. And great many people
think that 1t is useless to restrain
their children from stealing any fruit
they can find within walking dis
lance. All Of which is rather rough on
those misguided people who have
thought they could help out on the
cost of living by raising small fruits
and vegetables in their own back
yards. They have risen early and
toiled late, only to find that the larger
section of their produce has become
the property Of the ubiquitous small
boy.-Paris Advocate.
One Of the strangest things in this
world is the way grown men with
boys of their own, and strict rules
governing the honesty of their young
ones, will laugh and slap their thighs
over the relation of their own boyish
exploits In melon or fruit stealing
Now, 1t should be stated by some au-
thoritative one as dictum that steal
Bryan daily eagle and pilot. [volume] (Bryan, Tex.) 1909-1918, 1912-10-14

ing Is theft, whether the spoil Is
watermelons or green plums. And nc
man who tells his young sons how
he himself used to be a bare-legged
robber should be surprised when he
learns that his own offspring have
turned to robbing. To burglarize an
orchard Is next door to burglarizing
house, just as burglarizing house
IS morally equivalent to "yegging" a
bank safe. 1t was said a long time ago
that he who plants pears plants them
for his heirs. That is all right. 1t is
proper and in line with what ancestry
should do for posterity. But he who
plants pears or pomegranates doesn't
plant them for tousled marauders.
And if marauders, tousled or slicked,
break through and steal his fruit it
makes him mad, and no mad man is
a good citizen for the time being.
Moreover, he is liable to slap some
body's darling.-Gal-yeston News.
When the boys who are now men
stole watermelons, sugar cane and
burglarized peach orchards, it was
way back in the "palmy days"-days
which have been described by a mem
Der OF the Texas legislature as the
time of STRAY horses and free whis-
key" 1t was at time when those
things were considered as semi-public
and when kid wanted any
of them he went and got it. 1t was
not looked upon as stealing, just
taking" Occasionally there was
some old crouch who would set his
dogs on the boys II he caught them
in his patch" but the great majority
Of the big-hearted men who lived at
that time took no notice of these little
and cared nothing about
.hem. They were regarded as boyish
'pranks" and had none Of the ele-
ments of stealing about them. There
is not a Southern boy who INDUCED
N them but who would shrink from
tealing as quickly as those who did
not, and whose shield OF honor would
not stand comparison with the "goody-
goody" kind.
Then truck OF that kind was plenti.
full and really had no value. Now the
high cost of living has put few

other precious stones, and the boy
who SHES over the fence and gets one

The fact OF the business is this

as many of his boy hood friends here
abouts can testify, and we don't like
1t doggoned bit to have some OF our
happiest memories romped on in the
above fashion.
