In a current magazine article
an eminent Eaglish physician,
Dr. Joseph Kidd, takes the lay
reader into his confidence and
i tells him ail about the alleged
! facts concerning appendicitis,
' says the Atlanta Constitution.
As to the origin of this rather
j common and perplexing disease,
Dr. Kidd says "the actual excit-
ing cause" in most cases is a
chill. "Do not neglect chills,"
he warns us, "when heated by
exercise, espeially after games
on grass, or when much fatigued

cautioned to "masticate well, eat
slowly, do not swallow any food
that is not perfeotly softened by
the teeth." If you are in a
hurry, it is much better to eat
half a meal well masticated than
to bolt a heavy meal almost
whole. Lastly—and upon thia
special strftsa is laid — "avoid
aperient salts, waters or pills.
Par better to let nature do her
own work, undisturbed by pur
gatives of any sort."
Thia authority goes on to say
that ilVte beat guarantee against
appendicitis is to take oare of
your general health, If the sys-

LITTLE BANNERS.
Power gives peace.
Patriotism needs patience.
There is nothing divine in dull*
ness.
The things which don't happen
are the hardest to bear.
The unhappy girl and the un-
occupied one are the same.
Woman is a conundrum, but
man unwilling to give her up.
The cream of the baseball club
should be found in the pitcher.
Vows made with the wadding
ring do not always have the ring
of fidelity.
A good face is a letter of re-
commendation, as a good heart is
a letter of credit.
A woman, owing to the peculiar
construction of her person is un-
able to jump—except at an offer
of marriage.
There may be no oash register
at the pearly gates, but it is gen-
erally believed they've got a deed

against corporations, municipal

hundreds of cases of persons (who
have worked up suits ags inst
corporations and cities to fjjain
a few paltry dollars, and [tells
stories of men and women'who

Booker T. Washington, the
noted negro eduoator who is at
the head of the Tuskegee Insti-
tute in Alabama, was a guest of
John Wanamsker, former post-
master general, last week at Sar-
atoga, N. Y. They dined at the
United States hotel, Booker T.
escorting a married daughter of
Wanamaker to dinner. His ap-
pearance in the dining room with
the white woman is said to have
oreated a "mild sensation." If
Booker T. will come down to
Texas and make an effort to es*
cort one of our typical Texas
women to a dinner, we'll guar-
antee that the sensation will not
be so mild—-it will be such as to
so impress it upon bis mind that
he'd not forget it even when his
kinkey locks are as white as oot-
ton.—Bonham News.

is practically a failure; but few
wagon loads have been brought
to the mill there, and it is of such
inferior quality as not to be of
much service for making flour.
Wheat from Kansas and Mis-
