Edison's Questions.

In looking over Mr. Edison's ques-
tions we find an important one that
he left out, "Why does base ball
player spit on the ball?" This is es-
pecially true with the pitchers. To
be sure it is not to moisten the ball,
for. this warm weather seems as the
perspiratiop from the ungloved hvd
would keep it wet. If it is just a
habit it is certainly filthy one.

Parrot Amateur Minstrels
Show to a Large House
Was Best Local Talent Show of the
Season. Good Singing and Music.

The Parrott amateur MINISTRIES, di-
rected by Miss Bertha Lee gave their
famous program of youth and melody
at the Palace theatre Friday evening
to full house. The show beyond all
question, was one of the best of the
season, and the audience manifested
genuine appreciation throughout the
evening. Twenty-Five persons made up
stage settings. The performance re-
volved about no one particular star
but numbered several clever artists.
There was no laying, one act after
another full of life and pep changing
almost by the minute and putting hui
NOR into every line SO that there was
not a dull moment. The music was
catchy and the new stock OF jokes
handed out made hit. The dancing
of the cork chaps was inimitable, the
Kenyon clog performance being at the
head in the amusement line. The sing
ing was one of the especially good
features in solos and quartets, the Sc
lections being bright and novel. The
artistic high spots were reached i'll the
solo work of the gifted young tenor,
fifteen year old Jim Cook, OF Parrot.
The company is made up Of the best
talent in this section. They opened the
season with a performance at Parrot
and have since appeared in other towns
playing to packed houses and receiv-
ing enthusiastic endorsement. The well
known Terrell County Orchestra is
composed of Miss Bertha Lee, Thorn
ton Lee, Harry Cook, Will Melton,
Acleva Gammage, DR.. w. H. Gard
ner and Will Cole. Their program in
cludes clean comedy and up-to-the-
minute novelty with music in overtures
and Accomplishments full of zest and
sparkle.
The PARROT Ministries deserved the
crowded houses with which they have
been greeted, and every good word
that has been said about them in Daw-
son and every other place where their
clever work has furnished such whole
some entertainment.

Fallen Fruits Never Good.

The difference between humans and
fruits lies in the fact that the human
is largely the master Of his own des-
tiny. A man does not need to fall If
he does not want to. He may have the
taints that imperfect hereditary leaves.
but even they are not bound to cause
him to fall. If he can be surrounded
with the right environment much of
what is in the blood can be turned to
good account. But If the fellow HIM
self wants to fall the world is only
too ready to make the way easy for
him. And there are many that seem
to want to try everything that any one
else has ever done. It may lead them
to the lowest pit, but they are always
sure they can worm out somehow.
Only after it's too late do men and
women realize that fallen fruits have
not real rating among good products.

USE OF ETHER IN SURGERY
Youthful Dentist Said TO Have Been
Responsible for Its Introduction
to General Practice.

While various experiments had been
made with so-called Laughing gas or
nitrous oxide gas in America prior to
1846, it was some "a years ago that
the first practical operation under
ether was performed in the Massa-
chusetts General hospital in Boston,
and the peculiar part Of it was that
the sulphuric ether was given, not by
one of the house physicians, but by
a young dentist who had been expert
menting on himself and had gone to
sleep for eight minutes. He rushed
over to the hospital and asked a
chance to demonstrate his discovery.
A man about to have tumor removed
from his neck gave permission to have
the ''new-fangled dope" applied. Den
fist Morton went to work and the tn
NOR was removed. The patient open
ing his eyes after the operation cried,
Gentlemen, this is no humbug," and
with that remark ether was given to
the medical world.
Oliver Wendell Holmes came for
ward with names for the process and
the liquid, and the dictionary gained
"anesthesia" and "anesthetic." In
three months the drug was being used
throughout the civilized world.

Archeologlsts Interested.

That the remote ancestors Of the
American Indians may have lived In
Spain in prehistoric days Is indicated
by some very remarkable discoveries
of rock paintings that Psychologists
have made at Ell Bosque, in the billy
country north Of Aplera. Spanish
town about half way between Alba
sete, situated in the plains Of La Man
cha, and Alicante, on the Mediterra-
mean. Anthropologists also say that
these discoveries throw a fresh light
upon the life of prehistoric man in
southwestern Europe during the Mag
dalenian period of the great Ice age.
These Paleolithic tribes, when not
compelled by the rigor Of the climate
to find their dwellings in caverns
where they obtained protection against
both the intense cold and the attacks
of ferocious animals, lived under rock
shelters on the sides Of valleys.
