would tango from Philadelphia to New
York and from New York to Philadel-
phia again.
1t was in such craze that the
dancing mania began in Germany hun
dreds of years ago. Men and women
finally became so possessed that they
danced in the streets and in the
churches. They could not stop when
they wished to. They were insane.
The physicians of the time gave much
study to the cure of the malady, and
Paracelus, perhaps with more thought
of those who were feigning the insan-
ity (becaase of the liberties it per-
mitted) than for those who were really
afflicted, recommended the sudden i'm
mersion of the victims in cold water.
It is recorded that some were cured
by this treatment. But it is doubtful
whether this heroic remedy would
have any effect upon the most acute
sufferers from tangoitis of the present
time. Perhaps if the professional
teachers squander all their suddenly
acquired wealth in expensive dancing
schools and then find their creditors
on their track, the craze may expire as
quickly as it Observation-Disclosures

THE LAND OF OPPORTUNITY.

At one of the dinners given recently
by the fair promoters, one of the
guests was Mr.. George Madison, of
Chronicle, who a few years ago came
down here from Chicago in search of
health. He had no experience in
farming, but has acquired the health
he sought. and also success as farm
er. In speaking to his fellow guests
about the board he said:
Il plant corn, and get sixty bushels
to the acre, after have harvested a
crop of string beans. l follow the
corn with cowpeas and thus raise
three crops year, where the north
ern farmer can only raise one. have
raised, $1,000 worth Of cucumbers on
two and half acres of ground and
then raised 200 bushels of sweet po-
tatoes per acre that averaged me so
cents per bushel."
1t is possible to raise three crops 4
year in this region-a feat that many
northerners regard as improbable.
Not only is it possible. but it is be-
coming common--as more enterpris.
