Mot Always Understood.
A fact often overlooked, or not al-
ways understood, is that women
suffer as much from distressing kid-
ney and bladder troubles as the
men. The womb is situated back ot
and yery close to the bladder, and
for that reason any distress, disease
or inconvenience manifested in the
kidneys, back, bladder or urinary
passage is often, by mistake, attrib-
uted to female weakness ' or womb
trouble of some sort.
The error is easily made and may
be as easily avoided by setting urine
aside for twenty-four hours: a sedi-
ment or settling is evidence that
your kidneys or bladder need doc-
toring. If you have pain or dull
aching m the back, pass water too
frequently, or scanty supDiy, with
smarting or burning,—these are
aiso convincing proofs of kidnev
trouble. If you have doctored
without benefit, try Dr. Kilmer’s
Swamp Root, the great kidney rem
edy. The mild and the extraordina-
ry effect will surprise. It stands
the highest for its wonderful cures.
If you take medicine you should take
the best. At druggists fifty cents
and one dollar. You may have a
sample bottle and pamphlet, both
sent free bv mail. Mention The
Times and send vour address to Dr.
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y.

The two-year-old daughter of J. Y.
Schenck, of Caddo, Ind. Ter., was
threatened with croup. He writes:

And now comes W. Goodrich
Jones with an idea for a town
Christmas tree, and a general good
time. Jonesy, old bov, is all right,
and his idea is a good one with one
exception. Instead of donating the
proceeds of the entertainment to
the city park, how much better it
would be to give the money to the
King’s Daughters to be used in their
hospital work, or turn it into some
obannel where it will assist in rub-
bing down the rough edges in the
pathway of many poor people who
will make Temple their home this
winter. Yes, I know the park needs
attentibn if we expect to make it a
“thing of beauty and a joy forever,’’
but, Brother Jones, there are people
in Temple who will suffer this win
ter unless sweet charity chokes the
hungry wolf from the door. Lets
have that Christmas tree by all
means but lets give the proceeds to
those who have been swamped by
the waves of adversity in this hard
old world. The park is a worthy
adjunct to our city, but 1 had rather
see it grow up in sun-flowers and
hog-weeds, and the trunks of those
trees eaten out by wood-sawyers,
than see one human being suffer
from hunger and cold in Temple
this winter.
another oneprobably fatally wound-
ed, two women made widows and
their children fatherless, and maybe
a third, and the drama of this world
continues to be played. This time
the play was presented at Waco, the
city of schools and churches. Its
the old story, but it never grows
less sad. But men are strange creat-
ures, and its a pity they are not
like women in one respect at least.
When a woman has a mortal enemy
in the shape of another, she takes
revenge by telling her neighbors
what a mean, nasty, stinkin’ hussy
her enemy is and how she despises
her, and that she is common folks
and all that sort of thing, but they
never settle the matter with hot
ead or even a hair pulliu.’ But
men get blood on their collar but-
ton and somebody is usually ushered

on. Even a black eye or a mashed
nose would be better than making
widows and orphans.

Ed Sinclair,
!j. W. West,
A. L. Phillips,
your little patches and come to
Texas. This country beats Arkan-
saw all hollow. Now I will tell you
it is a little more expensive to live
here than there; you will have to
wear shoes all the year, and socks
through the cold season. Also you
will have to wear underclothes; I
will tell you the names of the differ-
ent articles of underwear when you
come and are ready to buy. As I
stated, your expenses will be some
greater but you can more than make
up the difference in what you pro-
duce. For instance, you can raise
hogs here that will weigh 100 to 250
pounds at a year old and you don’t
have to put a lid on your hog pen
to keep them in either. I did not
believe it possible for a year old hog
to weigh more than 33J pounds but
I have actually seen them tnat
weighed 100 pounds and am told
that some weigh as much as 250.
This, however, is only hearsay, I
don’t know.
People in this country don’t plow
their milk cows, just keep them tor
the milk. I think it a little extravi-
gaut but it is the custom of the
country. They use four wheel
wagons here instead of carts and
slides. I could tell you lots more
about Texas, but hay’nt time. If
you can find a map of the United
States you will notice Texas joins
Arkansaw. I have heard that a
man passing through Arkansaw lost
a map and it was taken to Little
Rock to see if anyone there knew
what it was, you might ride down
there and see it. Your friend,

From the Lone Star State comes
the following letter, written by W.
F. Gass, editor of the Mount Vernon
(Tex.) Herald: “ I have used Uham-
berlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diar-
rhea Remedy in my family for the
past year, and find it the best rem-
edy for colic and diarrhea that I
have ever tried. Its effects are in-
stantaneous and satisfactory, and I
cheerfully recommend it, especially
for cramp colic and diarrhea. In-
deed, we shall try and keep a bottle
of it on our medicine shelf as long as
^ x we keep house.” For sale by W. E.‘
W. L. Brookman. Willis,‘druggist.
People in this country do not
know what real want is, Oh, I know
money is scarce and hard to get,
but I haven’t heard of any one dy-
ing from starvation in this section.
As I was passing down the street
yesterday I saw a couple of ears o'
corn lying in the middle of the road.
The wagons had passed over them
and they had been kicked about by
passing horses tor perhaps a dav or
two, and no one cared to pick them
up, and it was then that the dawn
came upon me with full force that
ours is truly a land of peace and
plenty. Ever think about it? Over
in Cuba—a close neighbor of outs—
there are people absolutely star
ving to death and that m large num-
bers, too. To them those two ears
of corn would have been
what the mana was to the children
of Israel. Yet we groan and growl
and curse the Fates that brought us
these hard (?) times, when we ought
to be the happiest people on earth.
I don’t raise 4 cent cotton? No,
but I have a harder time getting my
“chewin" than some of you who do.
Yes, I know I have complained, too,
about the hardness of mv lot in this
old world—going to the devil—but
I hadn’t ought to. There are lots of
people worse off than you and me.

By the way, I wonder what has
become of Temple’s prospective
street railway? It seems to me
that a franchise was granted to
some Temple people in tiu not far
away past by the city council, but I
haven’t heard of any one being run
over by our street cars yet. It seems
to me that Temple would be a snap
to put a street car line in.
Yes, of course it would take money
to build it, but it would be a gooc
investment and be a drawing care
for Temple. Money scare? Yes,
and its going to be scarcer in Temple
if we dont get some enterprise on
foot. Build that street car line,
gentlemen, why I’ll buv forebits
worth of tickets myself.
The landlord and tenant question
is getting to be quite serious in
some sections, and present indica
tions point to trouble. I am sorry
of this and hope both factions will
stop before harm is done. The ten-
ant cannot afford to turn white cap,
and the landlord cannot afford to
be too exacting on his tenant. The
landlord who has a straight, hard-
working tenant, and is any sort of a
man himself is not going to be hard
on his tenant, and where money
rent is demanded by the landlord
my advice to the renter is not to pay
it, just let that landlord alone and
rent you a piece of land on shares.
But brother, renter, dont never,
never think of becoming a wlutecap,
and trying to force the landlord to
your way of thinking. When you
break the law you are liable to bring
trouble on yourself and family that
you cannot rid yourself of in years,
besides you cannot accomplish your
purpose in this manner. I am glad
that Bell county farmers, as a rule,
both tenant and landlord, have too
much sense, too much respect for
themselves and their families, and
too much Christianity to become en-
gaged in any wrangle that is calcu-
lated to bring trouble and sorrow
upon their own heads and upon
those dependent upon them.

I wonder if the negroes in this
country will ever be anything but
what they are? I dont pay much
taxes, I know, but it makes me very
weary to know that a portion of the
little I do pay goes to “educate” (?)
the kinky headed hybreds, and then
have to keep a lock and chain on
my wood house and guard my hen
roost with a shot gun to keep the
apes from stealing me out of a house
and home. Some people like ’em,
though, and the fact is proven ev-
ery day. I heard some negro brats
rowing the other day on the street,
and they were just out of school, too,
and a bov and girl were doing the
talking, and I want to tell you that
if had had a sweet, innocent girl to
hear the language they used, there
would have been two negro whelps
less in Temple to pay taxes on. Yes,
i know the law protects them, and
thats whats the matter with ’em.
If we would turn ’em loose and call
off the law, the race question would
soon be settled and there’d be less
worry in this old world for you and
THE ROUNDER.
I met a woman yesterday, I knew
her when she was the belle of New
York’s upper tendum. She could
have been one ot the first ladies of
that great city. She lived in ease
and luxury and had millions at her
command. Now? Oh. well, its the
same old story of a ruined life-
honor gone, fortune squandered,
disowned and turned from home in
shame aud dishonor, and, well,
she is a hop fiend now and far be-
yond recall. It makes me sad, but
this is not the only case, there are
others just as bad. I talked to her
of her once happy home, and spoke
to her of reforming. She told me it
was too late, that late hours, wine
and gay voung men with money in-
stead of brains, had started her on
her downward career, and that now
the cocain appetite was her only
god. Then, reader friend, do you
blame me for trying to get some
work done in the by-ways? This
woman told me it had been fifteen
long years since she had heard the
simple story of the cross, and then
it was from a pew in a fashionable
church, and it was fashion that
took her there instead of the good-
ness of the meek and lowly one.
The Milling Word.
The Weekly Constitution, Atlanta,
Ga., has announced its sixth consec-
utive missing word contest, com-
mencing on the 1st of November and
closing on the 1st of January, a pe-
riod of about two months.
This is the sentence :
“Once given the passion for-
that one of the precious metals will
be most in demand which is cheap-
est.”
The readers of our paper who sub-
scribe jointly to it and the Weekly
Constitution havo free access into
the sixth contest, just opened; and
it may be that some of them will get
the amount to be distributed ou the
ibt of January.
The only condition of the contest
is that every guesser must be a sub-
scriber; aud, taking advantage of
the Constitution’s offer, we present
this opportunity to all who wish to
subscribe to both papers. Every
person should havo his county paper
undone great general newspaper;
and the Weekly Constitution, with a
circulation of 156,000, occupies the
unique distinction of being the
grea'es& American weekly news-
paper. ,
Bv special arrangement with the
Weekly Constitution, that great
paper and the Times can be obtained
for one year at $1 50 Not only that,
but under our arrangement with the
Weekly Constitution everv person
who takes advantage of this club-
bing proposition, subscribing for
noth papers, will be entitled to a
guess at the missing word. All
clubbing subscriptions should bo
sent to this paper with each sub-
scriber’s guess at the missing word
plainly written. The guess and the
name and address of each subscriber
will be forwarded by us to the
Weekly Constitution.

are bound to starve before the fam-

of them. In Cuba, thousands are

thinketh to himself “I have fought a
