CHAPTER XIII. (continued.)


When he reached the earth some
one extended hand and led him
silently out Of the garden and into
the road beyond. Bob went along
meekly and obediently. Not far down
and his fair rescuer followed. SO far
he hadn't said word to her; Ian
guage seemed shperhuous. But as
they dashed away, she murn1ured:
isn't it lovely ."
SIS IT." he ASKED. Somehow she
wasn't feeling particularly jubilant
over his escape. In fact, he found
himself wondering almost as soon as
he had reached the earth, ": 1t
wouldn't have been wiser, after all, to
have spent the rest Of those three
weeks in pleasant seclusiOn. The
presence of the temperamental young
thing suggested new and more per-
picking problems perhaps He had re-.
garded her as somewhat OF joke, but
she wasn't joke Just now; she was
reality. What was he going to do
with her, and with himself, for that
matter Why we're they dashing madly
across the country like that together?
1t was as if he were carrying her
on, and he certainly didn't want to
do that. He wasn't in love with her,
and she wasn't with him. At least,
he didn't think she was. It was only
her temperamental disposition that
caused her to imagine she was In
love. because she thought him some
thing that he wasn't. And when she
found out he wasn't, but was only a
plain. ordinary young man, not OF
much account anyhow, what shock
would be the awakening! Perhaps
he'd better stop the machine. go back
into the garden, climb up to his room
in the crazy house and tumble into
bed? His being here, embarked on
preposterous Journey, seemed case
Of leaping before looking, or thinking.

II won't"
"oh, yes, you will" She adjusted
It for him.
'iAll right. II you want some one
to hug you when he doesn't want to-
he said in aggrieved tones.
.That makes it all the nicer" she
returned. There ere ever so many
men that want to. This-this is so
different" With sigh.
There you go. with some more non
sense talk" grumbled Bob.

The Primary Election Bill which was drawn up by Com mittee selected by the last Dem Ocratic State Convention, and which was introduced by Sena. tor Moore and has passed the Senate, has been held up in the House and some amendments made to 1t. The main features of the Bill are all that could be desired, but it is too cumber- some, complicated and confusing for the understanding of the average man. It is so worded that 1t will require a Philadel- phia lawyer to interpret itslpro- visions, and the House is excus. able for doctoring it. It needs remodeling.

Very often we hear farmers make the remark that their land does not ploduce as well as 1t used to. Well, is it any wonder? What do they ever do to make it produce better crops? Year after year they grow the same ol q crops, corn and cotton, in the same old way. They take every thing from the land and never give anything back. Nine ti mes out of ten they burn the grass and stalks instead of ploughing them under, and thus rob the soiteven of this small pittance of fertilization. They never dream of planting cover-erops, for win ter protection or legumes for the purpose of enriching their land. Rotation of crops is an unknown and unheard of element in their mode of farming. Yet they are surprised to find their fields less prolific and their crops more un- profitable than formerly. It is time the farmer was waking up and going about his business in a business-like way. You can i'm prove your farm-lands if you will only try.

Injured in Runaway.

On last Thursday evening, a. bout 1 O'clock, Mr D. s. Wells, of this city, was thrown from a buggy, in which he was riding, when the team ran away, and very seriously hurt. He was hurled against an awning post, in front of Mrs. w. k. Pope's Millinery Store, on South Main Street.
 One or more of his ribs were broken, and he was cut about the head. A travelling man by the name of Henderson, who was in the buggy with Mr. Wells, escaped uninjured.
 After the parties were thrown from the buggy, the team ran over the street lamp post in front of the Rosary, tearing it down and crushing the five large electric globes. This is the sec ond time that this lamp-post and fixtures have been demolished by runaway teams. The team that Mir. Wells and Mir. Tender son were driving belong to the J. l.. Allen Stable. {
 MT. Wells is getting along very we'll and it is hoped that he will soon be out again, with no perm anent injury.

According to the Governments S official figures, the export of grain, meat, four and other things to eat, for the past seven months, has run away up into hundreds of millions of dollars over what they were before the war in Europe broke out, while cotton fell off more than two million bales.

---- -0----- WHAT NEXT?
To teachers and those who are
 contemplating teaching.

l Public schools will soon close. Teachers have had an average of about six months on the pay roll at perhaps an average salary of $60 per month, netting them $360 for the year, or an equival- ent of $30 per month for the year. In other words, the educated teachers salary for the year is less than that of the uneducated | day laborer. 5000 teachers quit the profession in Texas annually. Gan you blame them, when you compare their annual earning ca pacity with that of any other class of educated men and women. The bookkeeper, stenographer, pri- vate secretary or operator gets, as beginner, from $50 to $75 per month twelve months in the year, and soon receive an ad- vance salary and it isn't long, if they are made of the right kind of stuff, before they are promot, ed to assistant manager or mana gers of large business concerns where they draw salaries that soon enables them to lay up a comfortable living for old age.
 The teaching profession Is noble charitable one, but are you content to work in the charity department of your state when they allow you no pension or protection in old age, or will you go into the great broad field of business where you can lay up something for rainy day and provide your own protection for old age.
 Make comparison of the teacher who after graduated from the high school, spent two to three years in a state normal and hundreds of dollars preparing himself, and has been teaching five years in the public schools, with the bookkeeper, steno- grapher or operator who has only spent from three to six months in obtaining his education after graduating in the high school and from $100 to $200 and has had five years experience in the business world, and you will find that the one who has spent only a few months in obtaining his education, and couple of hun dred dollars, Is drawing twice the salary of the teacher who spent some three or four years in preparing for his profession at cost of from $500 to 5000.
 More evidence on this subject can be had by writing the Tyler Commercial College Tyler, Tex as, for their large illustrated catalog, giving full particulars regarding Amerca'S largest con- mercial training school with more than 2000 enrollments an- nually, and read what teachers say who have attended this insti- tuition, of the advantages it of fers to those entering the busi- ness world where they can great ly increase their earning capaci- ty, enabling them to own homes of their own, and enjoy the con- forts that should rightly be theirs.

The farmer has serious prob lem to solve in the planting of this years crops. Owing to the war 1t would be extremely non- senscial to put much confidence or land in cotton; and, at the sametime it will be risky busi. ness to place too much confi- dence in crops of a perishable nature, unless you are near a market or have arranged for ex- tra-good shipping facilities. A surplus of perishable crops, such as potatoes, fruits and berries, with no marke t, is distressing condition to find yourself in. But there are things that you can grow without the least dang CT of loss. These are corn, oats, peas and hay. These articles will keep, and if you will combine with them the raising of live stock and poultry, you have your market at home.

 glass of hot water before ....- breakfast.

We're not here long, so let's make our stay agreeable. Let Us live well, eat we'll, digest we'll, work well, sleep we'll and look we'll What a glorious condition to attain, and yet, how very easy it is if one will only adopt the morning inside bath.
 Folks who are accustomed to feel dull and heavy when they arise, split ting headache, stuffy from a cold, foul tongue, nasty breath, acid stomach, can, instead, feel as fresh as a daisy by opening the sluices of the system each morning and flushing out the whole of the internal poisonous stag nant matter.
 Everyone, whether ailing, sick or we'll, should, each morning, before breakfast, drink a glass of real hot water with a teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in it to wash from the stomach, liver and bowels the previ- ous days indigestible waste, sour bile and poisonous toxins; thus cleansing, sweetening and purifying the entire alimentary canal before putting more food into the stomach. The action of hot water and limestone phosphate on an empty stomach is wonderfully in vigorating. It cleans out all the sour lamentations, gases, waste and acidity and gives one splendid ap- petite for breakfast. While you are enjoying your breakfast the water and phosphate is quietly extracting 8 large volume of water from the blood and getting ready for thorough flushing of all the inside organs.
 The millions of people who are bothered with constipation, bilious spells, stomach trouble; others who nave sallow skins, blood disorders and sickly complexions are urged to get quarter pound of rhinestone phosphate from the drug store. This will cost very little, but is sufficient to make anyone a pronounced crank on the subject of inside bathing before breakfast
