THE UNCARVED PATIENT.

At Newport News, Ernest Carpen- ter was taken to a hospital to be op- erated on for appendicitis. It was believed that his condition was so critical he could not survive unless promptly investigated internally. When he saw the instruments and the white -gowned surgeons and nurses terror seized him and lent him strength-also speed. He inconti- nently fled, resisting all efforts to hold him. He went home, slept well and arose to eat a hearty breakfast, and his veriform appendix behaved itself.
 Here is subject for speculative con sideration. Was the sudden cure a case of the superiority of mind over matter? Was he cured by mentally deciding that he did not have appen- dicitis anyway? or was it that his af- fiction was not real but imaginary? It may have been the latter, for that fear of a disease may give rise to the symptoms of the disease itself is a fact recognized by diagnosticians. It is stated that since so much has been written about pellagra there have been more of pseudo-pellagra than the real thing.
 But this Newport News fasco of fers a valuable hint to surgeons. Opening up of the innards to remove the appendix is costly operation some unkind persons say that the cost is contingent on the worldly means of the man opened, in other words, that the charge is all the traffic will bear. Anyway, it costs a pile. Hence the wise surgeon will see that no "pros- pect" takes French leave so hastily and unceremoniously. The remedy is simple. Chloroform the patient be- fore he gets a chance to get alright ed at the array of sharp instruments and white-robed operators and at endants.-Arkansas Gazette.

The joint open session of the Nikati- ima-Clary literary societies held at the Normal auditorium Saturday night was one of the most successful and altogether delightful entertain ments ever given by these two popu- lar societies. Much of the charm of the entertainment is due to the untir- ling efforts of Miss Mary A. Bernard, who so ably assisted in preparing the program, the feature of which was "The New Woman" a comedy of A. D., 1850. The following interesting program was rendered.:

A girl will find more reasons why beauty should mate with the beast than the physician can discover for putting you on a diet in the mince pie season.
 Isn't she wonderful looking, my dear?" says one.
 Perfectly marvellous says the other.
 "Too bad she hasn't any family tree at all. They tell me her folks were
 obodys my dear, simply nobodys.
 "Yes,, I've heard that, too. Don't
 ou think the way she wears her hail ridiculous?"
 The game of the tatters is on Where plain girl might get by with mere mention, the beauty is caught up and carried out into the sea of discord there to be tossed about by the storms |of jealousy, envy, malice, admiration adoration, the loves of many men.
 The five nice young men from Beth any College say it isn't fair to dis miss girl just because she is too beautiful to be safe. It isn't fair, but it's the way of the world. The world you know, is great wag. It puts a premium on beauty and then follows it with a price. At that, most of us would be willing to pay.-Exchange.

TELLS OF
 POULTRY PROFITS S35OoOooo RECEIPTS F JOHN II. PAGES WEEKLY LET TER TO THE FARMERS OF
 ARKANSAS.

The poultry industry is of great inn portance in this country and should have more attention among the farm CTS. The receipts from poultry and eggs in Arkansas amounts to more than 0,000,000 annually. Last year lit amounted to about S35,000,0 ,000. Compare this with the cotton crop and | you will get some idea of it's magni- tude. The farmers themselves, whose wives and sons and daughters raise the poultry, do not recognize the full value of poultry as a farm asset. It will pay the farmers to build houses, make coops and provide the proper equipment necessary to give the best opportunity to that branch of the do- mestic circle having the poultry inter ests in charge.
 One of the most profitable features of poultry is overlooked by the farm CT. As matter of fact, about the most profitable feature is for the u t tI tilS NIllIhcllS anu 6SSo produced on his premises. A dozen eggs will weigh a pound and a half, and chicken, the right size for a broiler, will weigh two pounds. The eggs, when sold to the country mer- chant, who in turn ships to the com mission merchant, usually bring from 10 to 15 cents a dozen, and the chick ems from $2 to 2.50 a dozen. At the same time, side meat costs at least Is cents 6 pound, and ham and break fast bacon cost 20 to 30 cents a pound. The eggs if salable at 15 cents a doz- en, would bring only 10 cents a pound and the chickens would bring less. So why can't the farmer save money by eating eggs and chickens? Too many | farmers overlook this contrast and take the poultry and eggs to market and sell it for less than it is worth to

 Sow a patch of rye or clover near the house for the poultry, spend few dollars for wire netting to protect the young chickens from rats, snakes and vermin, and buy poultry remedies, and help the good housewife to the means of caring for the chickens, geese, tur- key and ducks.

started. Mr.. McCollum says twas
a pretty exciting run. Arthur
Rumley, who was in the buggy
when the horse started, jumped
out, making a safe landing.
