Dallas, Nov. 6.—Mayor Smith
today recived a telephone mes-
sage from Risley Brothers & Co.
of Jacksboro stating that they
have taken up the matter of
furnishing cars for the transpor-
tation of crushed rock to Dallas
with the management of the
Rock Island railway and that the
needed cars will be forthcoming.
The city of Dallas has orders for
40,000 yards of the Jacksboro
rock.
The firm mentioned made a
legal demand for cars on the Rock
Island because of mayor Smith’s
letter. A legal demand means
payment of $25 per car for each
day the demand is not complied
with. This request, couched
under the form of prescribed, had
the desired effect and Mayor
Smith expects the city to have

S. A. Long appeared last Thurs-
day evening and delivered his
great lecture, ‘‘Lightning and
Toothpicks,” this being the sec-
ond number of the Lyceum
course. Mr. Long is by far the
finest lecturer ever appearing be-
fore a Jacksboro audience, and
he was listened to with undivided
attention.
While this lecture is known a3
“Lightning and Toothpicks” the
theme really was law, love and
habit, and this wonderfully gifted
man treated his subject with a
clearness and precision that coulc
leave no doubt as to his meaning.
At all times he took the higher,
purer view of his theme, which
was really refreshing to those who
heard him; the light frivolities
so often indulged in by speakers
who sometimes resort to this
method to hold the attention of
the audience being entirely ab
sent. It is rarely the case that a
Jacksboro audience has the op-
portunity of hearing a man who
understands his subject and has
such perfect command of lan-
guage and is at the same time
so gifted with so pleasing an ad-
dress. Mr. Long is one of the
leading lecturers of the Y. M. C.
A. of America, also of the lyce-
ums and chautauquas. He holds
an instructorship in the celebrat-
ed Steele High School of Dayton,
Ohio.
The Gazette is sorry to say
that the opera house was not full
when it should have been crowd-
ed. The lecture would have ben-
efited every other business man,
professional, preacher, teacher,
Sunday school worker and school
child in town as well as those who
heard him. We can not expect
to have a fine series of entertain-
ments for the winter if all do not
patronize them. Jacksboro is not
such a large town that her people
who should take an interest help-
ing to support a "first class lyceum
course can afford to be indifferent
about the matter.
Mr. C. A. Worthington has left
nothing undone to secure the best
talent available for the winter,
and it is hoped that he will not
be disappointed in the taste and
appreciation of the people of
Jacksboro in the future.
MR. P. HATTON LEATH,
Formerly of Henrietta and Gainesville, and for the last two
years a resident of the north part of Jack county, is now asso-
ciated with me in the Real Estate, Loan and Insurance Busi-
ness.
Mr. Leath is an affable gentleman who with his frank and
pleasant manner makes friends easily and inspires one with
confidence in his honesty of purpose and fair dealing. He is an
honest man and in every way worthy and deserv ing of the pat-
ronage of the people. He has had wide experience in his deal-
ings and is thoroughly capable to engage in this line of business.
With Mr. Leath’s assistance I propose to push my already
large and constantly growing business right to the front and to
continue to keep in the lead in every particular.
Fair and honest treatment to all shall be characterized with
that same consideration that I have always endeavored to show
to the public in the past.
We will keep the buyer and seller always in close touch
with each other and with our large list of choice lands and
places are prepared to please the most exacting both as to
quality and price.
We wall sell you good land cheap and on easy terms, will
lend you part of the money, with which to buy it and will in-
sure the houses against fire and storm.
I appreciate the liberal patronage given by my friends and
the public in the past and earnestly solicit a continuance of
their kindness in the future.

ATS! ^ HE first time that Nan saw her
she was sitting on the edge of
the fountain, with a big heap
of water lilies beside her,
braiding the long stems into a crown.
“There she is now,” said the black
kitten. “Isn’t she the bold, saucy
thing, coming right up out of the wa-
ter after she's stolen my ball and
won’t give it hack?”
“Did you ask her for it real nice and
politely?” asked Nan.
“Yes, I did, and I said ‘please,’ too,
and she splashed water at me aud said
‘scat!’ My mother says that’s all you
■can expect from Nixies. She says she
heard that all Nixies used to be tad-
poles once.”
“She looks so sweet and gentle,” said
Nan, “I’m going to ask her for the
ball.”
So the black kitten curled down out
of sight behind some clover, and Nan
went softly over to the fountain. The
minute the Nixie girl saw her she slip-
ped down into the water just like a
fish and swam over to the middle of
the fountain, where the water lily
pads were thick. Then she leaned her
elbows on a big green leaf and smiled
at Nan. She really was a very pretty
Nixie. Her hair was long and gold as
soon as she was hack among the lilies
with the moon glass in her hand, “no
one ever trusts the Nixies the way they
do the rest of fairyland? Everybody
thinks we’re naughty water witches.
I don’t look like a w.ilh, do I?”
“But you are naughty, you know,”
said Nan seriously. “The black kitten
says it’s because you came from tad-
poles long ago.”
“Well, we didn’t,” said the Nixie
crossly. “The first Nixie of all was a
mermaid, and she ran away from her
sea palace home and wanted to be an
earth princess. And all fairyland was
angry with her for leaving her fish’s
tail behind her and walking on feet
like a real earth girl. That’s the one
great law of fairyland, you know. If
you are any kind of a fairy you must
stay that kind. It’s the only way to
keep things from getting all mixed up,
you know. But this little mermaid was
very happy with her earth prince until
one day they were riding through the
palace forest and came to a deep wood-
land pool.
“ ‘Oh,’ cried the mermaid princess, ‘I
must wade in that beautiful water, if
only for a moment!’
“So the prince lifted her down from
her horse and himself knelt to unlace

There is more Catarrh in this
section of the country than all
other diseases put together, and
until the last few years was sup-
posed to be incurable. For a
great many years doctors pro-
nounced it a local disease and
prescribed local remedies, and by
constantly failing to cure with
local treatment, pronounced, it
incurable. Science has proven
catarrh to be a constitutional dis-
ease and therefore requires con-
stitutional treatment. Hall’s

F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo,
Ohio, is the only constitutional
cure on the market. It is taken
internally in doses from 10
drops to a teaspoonful. It acts
directly on the blood and mucous
surfaces of the system. They
offer one hundred dollars for any
case it fails to cure. Send for

the sunshine, and she wore a crown of
the lilies on it, and her dress was clingy
and velvety, like green moss that grows
under the water.
“What’s your name?” asked Nan shy-
ly, just as If she were a new little girl
who lived around the corner.
“Nixie,” laughed the water witch.
“I didn’t know that you lived in our
fountain.”
“It's my fountain,” said the Nixie. “I
lived here long ago when It was only
a frog pond.”
“Aren’t you afraid of frogs?”
“Oh, dear, no; they’re the only friends
I have. They taught me how to swim
and dive and everything. And nights
they come out and sit on the Hly pads
and sing for me. Daytimes I teach
them things down in the frog school.”
“Have you got the black kitten’s
ball?”
The Nixie hung her head and made
believe to count the rose tipped petals of
the water lily beside her, but she was
frowning.
“It’s only a little rubber ball,” Nan
began again. “He got it when he was
one month old, and he's only two
months old now. He misses it so
much”—
“Then what did he throw it in my
fountain for?” asked the Nixie crossly.
“It bobbed right in the middle of the
water when I was teaching school and
disturbed us all dreadfully. We all
ran and hid under the moss beds for
fear it was the plumber. Once when
the fountain wouldn’t spout right your
father sent the plumber to fix the pipe
and scared us all iiearlj- to death. I
won't give back the hall to the black
kitten. It serves bim right.”
“Will you trade It for something
else?” asked Nan anxiously. “Isn’t
there anything you'd like?”
“I don’t know,” said the Nixie doubt-
fully. “I do need a new moon glass if
you could get me oue.”
“What's a moon glass?’’
“Just a glass that you can look In
and see the moon shining without look-
ing at the moon itself. Y'ou know,
Nixies are not allowed to look the moon
straight in the face. I don’t know
why, hut no Nixie ever does. I think
it must he some kind of a spell. So
we sit on the lily pads or rocks in the
moonlight and look at its reflection in
the moon glass. Do £ou think you
could get me one?”
“Will you give me back the hall for
It?”
The Nixie promised faithfully that
she would, and Nan ran up the hack
garden path to the kitchen door. There
was a nice, round hand glass on the
shelf in the nursery, she knew. It
was dusty and a little old around the
edges, but the glass was all right, so
she got It and ran back to the foun-
tain.
“Isn’t it funny,” laughed the Nixie as
her little golden slippers and take off
her silken hose. You see, he didn’t
know she was a disobedient mermaid,
and it^was all a spell of the fairies to
punish her. So she stepped Into the
cool, soft water, and the minute she
felt the ripples she forgot the prince
and the palace and everything except
that she was a mermaid. Aud she slip-
ped down into the water, deep, deep
into the cool, green underworld caves
of moss and clinging vines, and the
prince never saw her again.’’
“But Nixies haven’t got tails!” ex-
claimed Nan.
“Neither did the disobedient mermaid
ever get her tail back or go to her peo-
ple in the great open sea world. She
had to stay in the woodland pool- and
be a Nixie forever. So that is where
the Nixies first came from—not from
tadpoles at all. And that is why all
Nixies are fond of sitting in the moon-
light and singing, like the mermaids do.
Just then the frogs began to call from
under the ferns and flowers at the edge
of the fountain, and the little Nixie
girl waved goodby because she had to
go and teach the frog school. And Nan
took the rubber ball back to the black
kitten.
“She isn’t a naughty Nixie,” she told
him. “She’s a captive fairy, really and
truly, so don’t you tease her any
more.”—New York 'World.

And I just jvmp and shout and dance

writes, “Severe bleeding from
the lungs and a frightful cough
had brought me at death’s door,
when I began taking Dr. King’s

with the astonishing result that
after taking four bottles I was
completely restored and as time
has proven permanently cured.”
