HE GOT A FREE PASS.
Having Gotten It Ha it Up a Troa
--Abont Using It
Mr. J. A. Thomas, nominee for
Representative from this county to
the Legislature, and also editor of
the I^eonard Graphic, has received
his first “free pass’’ and, notwith-
standing his terrible denunciation
of the free pass system in the past,
it is easy to see that a change is
about to come over the spirit of his
dreams. Hu paper contained the
following article last week:
The editor of this paper,, who is
also a nominee on the democratic
ticket for representative to the leg-
islature, is in receipt of his first of-
ficial “free pass” and is in a predica-
ment what disposition to make of it.
It is a very innocent looking little
piece of cardboard, nicely printed
and neatly inscribed to the use and
benefit of the recipient with the
compliments of the management
It come unasked, unsolicited and
unsuspected. There is nothing
about it that implies any obligation
or suggests the expectation of any
service, official or otherwise, either
present or prospective, yet, in view
of the fact that the democratic
party, vhoae nominee we are, has
promulgated a positive pronounce-
ment prescribing the use of “free
passes” places os in a predicament
In our dilemma we wot not what
to do. We dare not inault the gen-
erous impulse that prompted its
presentation by returning it, we are
loth to forego the pleasure and
profit that ita use promises, and we
hate to take the hard-earned eoin,
which some generous subscriber has
given ns, and pay for the privilege
this free past carries. Since the

Auk’s Egg Brings £200.
A great auk’s egg was sold in Lon-
don recently for 200 guineas. It Is re-
garded as one of the best marked of
the sixty or seventy specimens in ex
istence. The history of the egg is In-
teresting. In 1842 it sold for £2.
Ten years later the price was increas-
ed to £64, for which sum it was pur-
chased b" Lord Garvagfl. Then It

party platform enjoins the use of
“free passes,” as the party's nomi-
nee we feel constrained to follow
its decree. It was once said by our
fellow citizen, Greyer Cleveland,
that “it is a condition and not a
theory that confronts us” and if old
Orovcr said that he came about as
near the truth as anything we ever
heard him say. The Bame is true of
us. The theory of the democratic
platform condemns the use of “free
passes,” the condition that con-
fronts ua is that by the uae of the
-ffrec pass” now in hand we can save
the price of half a year’s subscrip-
tion, and the temptation to do so is
•o strong that we fear the results.
The pass referred to is a “free pass”
to the fair grounds at4)allas during
the fall festival, and is issued on
account of the fact that the nomi-
nees to the legislature are the in-
vited guests of the Dallas County
democracy on the 12th.
Coming to Mr. Thomas’ rescue,
Jim Lowry of the Honey Grove Sig-
nal, says:
We learned early in life from a
catchy story in Webster’s blue-back
speller that it makes a “big differ-
ence whoee ox is gored,” and a lit-
tle later on we were taught in Mc-
Guffey’s fourth reader that “cir-
cumstances alter cases.” Truer les-
sons we never expect to learn. Of
course it s a very wicked thing for
a representative of the people to ac-
cept a free pass—provided the rep-
resentative is somebody else. So
thought candidate Thomas, and so
say we all.
But circumstances alter cases,
and it makes a big difference whoso
ox is gored. Mr. Thomas received
a pass and what he used to think
was a vile corrupter of the people’s
representatives he now describes as
an innocent piece of pasteboard. He
is even tempted to use it, and if col-
lections do not look up a little be-
fore the 12th we would not be sur-
prised to hear that he has used this
iniquitous free pass to visit the Dal-
las Fair!
That reminds us of our visit to
the Legislature two years ago. It
so happened that the anti-free pass
bill was up for final passage. The
State Democratic platform contain-
ed a strong plank demanding such
a law, and nearly all the representa-
tives were opposed to free passes—
before the election. We talked with
one venerable farmer from a neigh-
boring county who had been elect-
ed on a platform opposing free
passes. He, too, “was in a predica-
ment." Ho feared that if free rail-
road passes were cut off good mta
could not be found who would serve
as. Representatives, tho pay being
so light How he finally voted we
don’t know, but we do know that
the anti-free pass bill lost put, just
is it did at previous sessioua.
A New Tanbark.
The bark of the Australian black
wattle tree has long been In use for
tanning purposes. It does not give
the leather as fine a bloom as the bark
of the American oaks or the acorn
cups of the nalonla oak, but It tans
more quickly and la in good demand
for the common grades of leather. For-
merly the supply of this tanbark came
from the forests of Australia, but
within the last five or six years the
plantations of Natal have begun to
supply a large proportion of the bark,
and It Is said that wattle growing is

Joke om An Archbianep.
Archbishop Thompson was greatly
surprised when he was given the
archdiocese of York He hiJ been suf-
fering acutely from toothache and
upon medical advice had resorted to
narcotics. After a particularly bad
night he set off for his doctor, thougr.
his wife had besought him not to sub
mlt to further narcotics, as after them
he was “not himself'’ for some hours.
On the way he met the postman, who
handed him a letter anouncing his pre
ferment from Gloucester to York. He
rushed back and burst excitedly intu
the bouse, the toothache all forgotten.
"Zoei Zoe!” he called to Mrs. Thomp
son, "what do you think has happen-
ed? I am archbishop of York!”
“There, what did I tell you?" rejoined
his wife. “You’ve been taking that
horrid narcotic again and are quite
out of your head.”
Money Saved at Funeral.
Senator Camack, of Tennessee, tells
of a thrifty negro who presented him-
self at the ticket office of a Memphis
railway station and inquired wha:
would be the charge of transporting a
corpse “to Birmingham and return.”
Receiving the desired Information, he
next Inquired what would be the cost
of a round-trip ticket for himself. The
tariff schedule was quoted ami the
ticket agent then said: "I'd like to
know what you want of a round trip
rate on a corpse.” The negro had no
disposition to be mysterious and said:
“Well, boss, it’s dis yere way. My wife
Melinda, she’s dald. She had a whole
raft o’ folks over In Alabama and if I
invite dem to de funeral day's sure to
camp on me fer a month. So I’m goin’
to take de body over to Birmingham sq
dey’ll know she’s dald and den I’ll
bring It back hyah for de funeral.”

Plans for the Cable.
When the first Atlantic cable
about to be laid to obviate the sup-
posed difficulty It was gravely pro-
posed to festoon the cable across at a
given maimum depth between buoys
and floats, or even parachutes, at
which ships should call, hook on and
send messages to the shore. Others
proposed to apply gummed cotton to
tho cable, set It afloat and leave tho
gum to dissolve and “let the cable
down quietly.”
Not Disappointed This Time.
“I have been often disappointed In
the use of some widely advertised
remedy, claiming to cure this or that
trouble. Nevertheless, on the strength
of one of the testimonial letters pub-
lished, 1 decided to try a box of Hunt’s
Cure. My trouble was eczema of the
lower limbs, from which I long suffer-
ed. One box cured me. I have bad a
pleasant, peaceful summer, thanks to
Hunt’s Cure.”

Miss Agnes'Miller, of Chicago, speaks
to young women about dangers of the
Menstrual Period —how to avoid pain and
suffering and remove the cause by using
Lydia EL Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
“To Young 'Women: —I suffered for six years with dysmenor-
rhea (painful periods), so much so that I dreaded every month, as I
knew it meant three o '
■P or four days of intense pain. The doctor said
this was due to an inflamed condition of the uterine appendages caused
by repeated and neglected colds.
“If youn£ girls only realized how dangerous it is to take cold at
this critical time, much suffering would be spared them. Thank God
for Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, that was the only
medicine which helped me any. Within three weeks after I started to
take it, I noticed a marked improvement in my general health, and at
the time of my next monthly period the pain had diminished consider-
ably. I kept up the treatment, and was cured a month later. I am like
another person since. I am in perfect health, my eyes are brighter, I have
added 12 pounds to my weight, my color is good, and I feel light and
happy.”,—Miss Agnes Milleb, 25 Potomao Ave., Chicago, 111.
Tho monthly sickness reflects tho condition of a woman’s
health. Anything unusual at that time should have prompt
and proper attention. Fifty thousand letters from women prove

Six Doctors Failed.
South Bend, Ind., Oct. 24 (Special)
—After suffering from Kidney Disease
for three years; after taking treat-
ment from six different doctors with-
out getting relief. Mr. J. O. Laudeman
of this place found not only relief but
a speedy and complete cure In Dodd's
Kidney Pills. Speaking of his cure
Mr. laudeman says:
“Yes, I suffered from Kidney
Trouble for three years and tried six
doctors to no good. Then I took just
two boxes of Dodd’s Kidney PJJls and
they not only cured my kidneys, but
gave me better health In general. Of
course I recommended Dodd’s Kidney
Pills to others and I know a number
now who are using them with fcood re-
sults.”
Mr. Laudeman’s case is not an ex-
ception. Thousands give similar ex-
periences. For there never yet was a
case of Kidnev Trouble from Backache
to Bright's Disease that Dodd’s Kid-
ney Pills could not cure. They are
the only.remedy that ever cured
Bright’s disease.

Origin of Spats.
Where did spats come from? High-
land soldiers wore them first. Be-
cause of the bravery of highlanders at
Lucknow and elsewhere in India dur-
ing Indian mutiny the people of Eng
land looked about for some way to
show their admiration. Scrutiny of
the highland dfess disclosed that
spats were the most suitable for
adoption, so they were adopted and
have been commonly worn ever since.

The Earth's Population.
The population of the earth at tho
beginning of the present century
amounted to 1,502,300,000 souls, dis
trlbuted over an area of 55,620,691
square miles, or about 26 persons to
the square mile. The divergencies
are, however, very wide In this re-
spect, varying from 104 to the square
mile in Europe to two persons to the
same amount of territory In Australia
and Polynesia. As to the totals of the
populations, Asia, the home of the yel
low races, Is far in the lead, with 819.-
556,000. Europe Is next, with 392,261,-
000. Even Africa is ahead of North
America, the dark continent being
accredited with 146,700,000, while
North America Is given 10^,714,000.
Three things come not back again;
the sped arrow, the spoken word and
the lost opportunity.
South America has 38,482,000; Aus-
tralia and Polynesia. 6,488,000, and the
polar lands, 91,000. As to the density,
after Europe, as shown above, with Its
104 persons to the square mile, comes
Asia, with 46.6, North America with
13, Africa 13, South America 6 and
Australia and Polynesia t.
