“The common cold is a priv-

cal Times. Superheated rooms,
keeping out fresh air, especial-
ly from the bedroom. Improper
clothing and Improper feeding,
with the germ as the transmit-
ter from one favorable soil to
another, are the causes given
for the popular ailment of civ-
ilization. Both overeating and
eating the wrong kinds of food
are enormous factors In catarrh
production. "He who over-
feeds," eays the editor quoted,
"la likely to catch cold, and
hla cold la likely to become
chronic." This agrees with the
statement In a recent Hint that
a cold is caught at the diplng
table, maxing duo allowance for
the minor factors. .To main-
tain a healthy action of the

avoidance of colda, and the

there have been more or less cred-

sever its contract for the joint use
of the Texas and Pacific track

authenticity of the rumor noted by
the Courier, not only because of the
fact that the distance from Denison

Gainesville and the Santa Fe s con-
siderably greater tnan from Whites-
1 boro direct but from the additional
fact that such an arrangement would
leave the Katy's Dalias-Den.on

Katy has enough "orphan" lines in
its Trlnlty-Colmesnlel branch. Be-
sides that, with all due deference,

gone long,” said Miss Minerva.'
His aunt had hardly left the gate
before Billy caught sight of a round,
fat little face peering at him through
the palings which separated Miss Mi-
nerva's yard from that of her next-
door neighbor.
“Hello!” shouted Billy. “Is you the
bad Uttle boy what can’t play with
me?”
“What you doing tn Mias Minerva's
yard?” came the answering interro-
gation across the fence.
“Fs come to live with her,’” replied
Billy. “My mamma an’ papa la dead.

“I'm Jimmy Garnar. How old are
you? I’tri most six, I am."
“Shucks, I’a already six, a-going on

“Can’t," said the new acquaintance.
“I’ve runned off once today, and got

“She's mine, too," promptly replied
Billy, who had fallen is love at first

Billy grew interested at once and
laughed aloud; he puckered up his
face and tried to weep again, for he
t wanted more tears to fall into the
churn; but the tears refused to come
and he couldn't squeeze another one
out of his eyes.
| "Aunt Minerva," he said mischiev-
! ously. “I done mint yo’ buttermilk."
“What have you done?” she in-
quired.
“It’s done mint," he replied, “you’ll

ful in it.”
"Why did you cry?" asked Miss Mi-
nerva calmly. “Don’t you like to
work?”
"Yes’m, I jes' loves to work; I wish
I had time to work all the time. But
it makes my belly ache to churn—I
got a awful pain right now."’
“Churn on!”' she commanded un-
sympathetically.
He grabbed the dasher and churned
vigorously for one minute. pointing to the house
“I reckon the butter’s done come,”
he announced, resting from his labors.
“It hasn't begun to come yet,” re-
plied the exasperated woman. “Don’t ;
waste so much time, William."
The child churned in silence for the
space of two minutes, and suggested:
“It’s time to put hot water in it; Aunt
Cindy always puts hot water In It.
Lemme git some fer you.”
“I nevqr put hot water in my milk,’’
said she, “It makes the butter puffy.
Work more and talk less, William." -
Again there was a brief silence,
broken on’y by the sound of the
dasher thumping against the bottom
of the churn, and the rattle of the
dishes.

“Did you ever eat any bobbycued
rabbit?" he asked. “Me an' Wilkes
Booth Lincoln been eatin’ chit’.llns, an’
sweet ’taters, an’ 'possum, an’ squir-
rel, an’ hoe-cake, an’ Brunswick stew
ever sence w-e’s born,” was his proud
announcement.
"Use your napkin,” commanded she,
“and don’t fill your mouth so full."
The little boy flooded his plate •with
sirup. . ’
"These-here 'lasses sho' Is—” he be-
gan. but Instantly renv mbering that
he must be more particular tn his
speech, he stammer'd on;:
“These-here sho’ Is—am—are a nice

say—these 'lasses sho’ are a bird;

She did not again correct him.
"I must be very patient,” she
thought, “and go very slov !y. 1 must
not expect too much of him at firzL”
After breakfast Miss Minerva, who
would not keep a set van t, preferring
to do her own work, tied a big cook-
apron around the little boy's neck, snd
told him to churn While ahe washed
the dishes. This arrangement did not
suit Billy.
“Boys don't churn,” be said sullen- -
ly; “me an' Wilkes Booth Lincoln don’
never have to churn sence we’s born;
'omans has to churn an* I ain’t a-going
to. Major Minerva—he ain’t never
churn,” he began belligerently, hut his
relative turned an uncomprotni-ing
and rather perturbed back upon him
Realizing that ho was beaten, he sub-
mitted to hie fate, clutched tbe dasher
angrily, and began his weary work
