wrltiBf In the issue of
4th, adds this to the story:
It was Jackson’s habit to oarry in
hla saddle-bags when he attended
court a eopy of Bacon’s Abridgement,
and to make frequent appeals to It
in his cases. This preioous book
was always carefully done up
coarse brown paper, and the unwrap-
ping of the volume was a very sol-
emn function as performed by Jack-
son, who was then only twenty-one
years old. Avery, during the trial
which preceded the duel, procured a
piece of bacon the size of the book,
and while Jackson was addressing the
court he slipped out the volume from
its wrappings and substituted the
bit of pork. At length Jackson had
occasion to appeal to Lord ltacon.
While talking he raised the bear skin
flap of his saddle-bags, drew out
the brown paper package, carefully
untied the string, unfolded the paper
with delicious gravity, and then, ex-
claimed triumphantly “We will now
see what Bacon says!” What won-
der that biy young lawyer blazed
with anger- while She eCurt-room
rang with laughter at 'his expense!
A curious crown is the

hen. The small means of profit
are neglected. The improving of
poultry Is one of those small means.
Economy does not imply the keeping
of every penny once in hand -#wheh
the investment in those moderate
savings bring good returns. As a
rule the farmer looks upon the few
hens he chances to have about him as
a nuisance and expense and not a
profit.
Poultry, as generally managed on
the farm, is more or less a profitable
side issueroften a vexation and cause
for complaint but usually too much
of a convenience to be given up, even
when the fowls roost on the wagon

tomatoes and do more or Jess mischief

Rock for dinner Sundays and fried
eggs for breakfast rank too high in
giving practical comforts In the farm
home to be resigned, especially where
the management and care of the
chickens are entirely under control
of tire women, as is generally the-
case.
A great many people think that a
hen can roost out ih the trees and
on the fences all the winter and lay
eggs regular every day and if she
doesn’t do it she is an expense and
not worth the little feed that she
hustles-about and chances to get.-
Who would keep a milk cow out in
the cold and rainy weather and feed
her barely enough to sustain life
and expect her to give three gallons
of milk and a pound of butter a
day. The farmers of this country
should give more attention to the
chickens, enlarge their floeksvan<Mri-
crease their profits.—A Breed
At the end of that t^ixne it was dis-
covered by a peasant in a hollow tree

iron crown of Lombardy, which Is
now treasured in an Italian cathed-
ral. It is fashioned around a circle
of iron made from one of the nails
•with which Christ was pierced at
crucifixion, and from its sacred.,char-
acter is held in the
tlon. Although through all these
centuries the iron band has never
been touclted, it is said that it has
never shown a mark of rust.
Frisco-Central Teachers Association.
The Frisco-Central Teachers as-
sociation held its third meeting for
this jretr st the Dublin High school
building, beginning Friday night.
March 3rd, and continuing untjl
Saturday afternoon. ,
The program of the evening was
enjoyed very muoh by everyone.
In the invocation by Rev. Compere
all the teachers were made to think
of their calling as none but the most
sacred and responsible. Mr. L. F.
Sensabaugh, in the welcome address, -
most ably expressed the sentiment
of the Dublin people in welcoming
the teachers to their city. This
welcome was further shown t tie
teachers during their stay by the
good people of the town.
Mias Mamye Maxwell of Stephen-
ville, in a very short but forcible
speech expressed the thanks of the
teachers for the greeting and* hospi-
tality shown to them by the good
people of Dublin.
Miss Alice Higginbotham very
ably entertained the audience with
one 6f her most interesting readings,
after which Mrs. S t’. Lattlmore
read a most excellent paper before
the meeting. Every teacher us well
as many others are always glad to
hear something from the pen of Mrs.
Lattimore, for they are never dis-
appointed in getting something full
of thought and instruction.
The mush.* rendered under the di-
rection of Miss Pearl Moore was one
of the enjoyable features of the pro-
gram. The musical feature of the
evening is indebted to some of the
raemliers of the orchesl ra, also Robert
Hutchingson and Ilortense Farmer
who sang, with so much delight to
the audience, ‘ You Can’t Pluck
Plums from My Plum Tree,” and
“My Little Seminole.”
The program of Saturday was car-
ried out with a few numbers omitted

by three ehota from Miss Sally’s six-
shooter, which left but ooe cartridge
In the weapon, the girl having shot
twice at prairie chickens. But the
one charge in her pistol, and no more
cartridges with her. She hunted a
heavy cudgel, a heavy piece of roes-
qulte tlx feet long, with which she
was able to reach auy of the wild cats
where they were crouching In the low
tree.
She first sent her lone pUtol bullet
into the wild cat thut seemed tli^,

tumbled the cat from Its perch but
with no more serious a hurt than a
broken shoulder. •
Tiius crippled, the enraged animal
sprang from the ground towards ttie
girl, who met it with a whack from
her club that sent the cat sprawling.
Before It could make another hostile
move site smashed its skull and
killed it.

Why Jackson Fought Duel.
In a recent issue of Harper’s
Weekly appeared an interesting ac-
count of Andrew Jackson’s duel with
Colonel Avery. A correspondent of
is traped in precious - stones and
bears one gem of almost* priceless
value. The German crown, which
is appropriately militant in design,
contains eighUshleids bearing alter-
nate black eagles and jeweled crosses,
while poised. on four ^arches blazing
w^ph diamonds is a globe crowned
with a cross of gold. The lightest
of European crowns is the state
erowryof Great Britian which was,
made for Queen Victoria sixty-six ]
years ago. Although it weighs only
two pounds and seven ounces, its
value is $1,600,000. One enormous
sapphire Came from the signet, of Ed-
ward the Confessor. One of the
rubies has a sadly tragic history. Ir
was at one timedn the possession of
one of the great kings of Granada,
whom Pedro the Cruel invited to Ids
palace and basely murdered through
greed of this gem. In the pope’s
treasure house are two crowns which
are valued at $2,500,000. One of
them was the gift of Napoleon to
Pius VII. and* contains the largest
emerald in the world. The other,
the gift of Queen Isabella of Spain
to Pius IX weighs three pounds and
is worth *1,000,000.—London Times.
Everyone should do his best to
make this schOQi a success as well as
the other phrases’ll the woik of the
association. The location of this
sehoo! is a good tiling for Dublin
and it is to the interests of the busi-
ness men to use their influence in
making it a great success.

Wbv Be Content With Temporary
Relief from Backache?
Don’t be satisfied with relief—
ftrief freedom from backache.
Reach the rest of the trouble.
Cure the cause ami backache dis-
appears for good.
It can be done.
Doan’s Kidney Pills make lasting
cures. Experiences of Texas people
prove tills.
Here's one Texas case of It:
John Colvin, retired engineer, liv-
ing at 233 South Hois d'Aro street,
Hillsboro, Texas, says: “About a
year ago a gentleman called upon me
and asked my opinion of and exeperi-
ence with Doan’s Kidney Pills. At
that time I told him they did me
more good than any other remedy I
had ever used for kidney complaint.
I was a good 'subject for them to
work on, as I had suffered off and on
for ten or twelve years. Frequent-
ly I was more than annoyed with
sharp, shooting pains in the small of
my back, the kidney secretions wore
too frequent in action, were scanty,
highly colored and contained a sedi-
ment. I am a great believer in pat-
ent medicines, and often think that
half a dollar or a dollar spent for a
remedy and used for diseases for
which Its use is Indicated, very often
saves a doctor’s bill. Doan’s Kidney
Pills is one of. the preparations In
which I have great confidence.
Since using them a year ago, I have
not had any symptoms of a recur-
rence of my trouble, and for this
reason I gladly allow my statement
to continue.”

Mad Animal Kills Baby Girl.
A special fro/n Paris, Texas, of last
Tuesday says:
This afternoon Mrs. Helm, wife of
a tenant farmer on D. II. Thom’s
place southwest of Paris went to the
barnyard to look for eggs. She car-
ried her three months old daughter
in her arms and while walking across
tbe lot was attacked by a Jack which
was running loose in the enclosure.
The animal grabbed the infant in
Its teeth and ran about the lot, shak-
ing it fiercely. The mother pursued
it and succeeded in regaining the
baby, but before she could escape from
the lot the Jack again seized it and re-
peated its horrible work.
The child's brains were dashed
out and most of.it* bones were brok-
en by the animal’s teeth and the
Wows it received against the fence.
