Miss Dorris Rogers, of Lometa,
is a guest in the home of her
aunt, Mrs. C. E. Fulton.
Mr. and Mrs. A. E. Hoppe, of
Carmine, Fayette county, are
here the guests of Mrs. Hoppe’s
parents, Mr. and Mrs. Gus Hake-
mack.
T. D. Powell, of Austin, is here
and will superintend the con-
struction of a neat residence for
John C. Abney, employing local
laborers to do the greater part of
the work.
H. B. Copes, of Dallas, and J.
M. Carroll, of Temple, both con-
nected with the Southwestern
Telephone company, and for
many years valued employes of
that corporation, spent a day or
two here looking after business
interests of the company.
Fire destroyed the oats in the
field of W. W. Childres, 10 miles
south of Lampasas, on the even-
ing of the 5th. The section fore-
man of the H. & T. C. was burn-
ing grass along the right of way
when a high wind came and the
$re became unmanageble and
ran into the field of Mr. Childers
where his oats were in the shock
ready for the thresher. Mr. Chil-
ders was just ready to thrash his
grain when it was thus accident-
ally destroyed.
Don’ts For Summertime.
Dr. Ralph Steiner, president of
the State Board of Health, has
given out the following timely
don’ts and facts:
Don’t allow flies in your house.
Don’t buy foodstuffs where
flies are tolerated.
Don’t eat where flies have ac-
cess to the food.
Flies are the most dangerous
insects known.
Flies are the filthiest of all ver-
min. They live on filth and carry
filth around with them.
Flies are known to be carriers
of millions of death-dealing dis-
ease germs.
How He Sizes It Up.
If the farmers were to live like
their fathers they would all get
rich. But their children, like
the town children, are spend-
thrifts.
If we don’t stop some of these
extravagances it will be hard
times in this country sure
enough. The town boy and the
farmer’s boy had better let liq-
uor, cigaretttes and all such
things alone, and get down to
business, and save their money.
Money can be made. It is the
fault of the people. People have
been living out of the banks;
stores, etc., and on credit, until
debts are being piled mountain
high. The only way to pay
debts is to make something to
sell. Have you any cotton to
sell? Any beef to sell? Any
corn to sell? Any hay to sell?
Any potatoes to sell? If you
have you are all right. If not,
you are wrong. Quit buying and
go to selling, and you will come
out of debt.—Vienna News.

Daily Leader three months $1,
“Fly Catedusm,”
1. Where is the fly berm? In liffi*
nure and filth.
2. Where does the fly live? In ev-
ery kind of filth.
3. Is anything too filthy for the fly
to eat? No.
4. (a) Where does he go when he
leaves a surface closet and the manure
pile and the spittoon? Into the kitch-
en and dining room.
(b) What does he do there? He
walks on the bread, fruit and vegeta-
bles. He wipes his feet on the butter
and bathes in the milk.
5. Does the fly visit the patient sick
with typhoid fever, consumption and
cholera infantum? He does—and he
may call on you next.
6. Is the fly dangerous? He is man’s
worst pest, and more dangerous than
wild beasts or rattlesnakes.
7. What diseases does the fly carry?
He carries typhoid fever, consumption
and summer complaint. How? On
his wings and hairy feet. What is his
correct name? Typhoid fly.
„ 8. Did he ever kill anyone? He
killed more American soldiers during
the Spanish-American War than did
the bullets of the Spaniards.
9. Where are the greatest number
of cases of typhoid fever, consumption
and summer complaint? Where there
are the most flies.
10. Where are the most flies? Where
there is the most fifth.
11. Why should we kill the fly? Be-
cause he may kill us.
12. When shall we kill the fly? Kill
him before he gets wings—kill him
when he is a maggot in the manure
pile—kill him in the egg state.
13. How? Keep the stable dry and
clean and don’t allow any manure to
stay on the premises longer than one
week. Have all filth and trash re-
moved or burned at least once a week.
14. If your neighbor fails to comply
with these rules and allows flies to
breed on his premises to visit you,
screen your doors and windows and
keep them out.—Selected.
DARK SMOKE.
Funny thing about smoking! If
a man were compelled to puff a good
cigar with his eyes shut the opera-
tion would lose its zest. A man who
had undergone a slight operation
upon one of his eyes had to stay in a
darkened room for a week with his
optics bandaged. After a few days
his doctor told him he could smoke
if he liked. He jumped at the
chance, and, to his amazement,
found it afforded him not the slight-
est pleasure.
To be sure, men often smoke in
the dark; but there is always the
rosy glow of the lighted end to be
seen and the faint outline of the
cloud of smoke in the air. There is
no more fun in the sightless smoke
than in a saltless egg or a kiss im-
planted upon your own hand. What
is the psychology of it?
Things We Should Not Do.
There are some things that a
level headed human being should
never do. Among these is to
kindle a fire with kerosene oil,
to walk on a railroad, to attempt
to get on a moving train, to point
a gun or a revolver at another,
to put his name on another man’s
note, to keep his savings in an
old stocking under the bed, to
play a game of chance with a
prepossessing stranger, to run
for office when he has a paying
proposition in private life, or to
call a bigger man than himself a
liar.—Ex.
“You are a plebian,” said a
patrician to Cicero. “I am a ple-
bian,’’ said the eloquent Roman,
“the nobility of my family begins
with me; that of yours will end
with you. I hold that no man
deserves to be crowned with hon-
or whose life is a failure; and he
who lives only to eat and drink
and accumulate money, is a fail-
ure. The world is no better for
his living in it. He never wiped
a tear from a sad face—never
kindled a fire upon a frozen
hearth. I repeat with emphasis,
he is a failure. There is no flesh
in his heart; he worships no God
but gold.”—Selected.
The gentlemen’who are looking
into the management of the
state’s penal affairs seem to have
found a clew to prosperity on the
Harlem farm. % The prisoners
there have been growing vegeta-
bles and have been canning
enough for their own needs; and
furthermore, they have been
making brick and tile that with-
stand the test of competition.
Which circumstance raised be-
fore their minds the question,
why could not the prisoners be
made to grow and can all the
vegetables that the state’s insti-
tutions might need, and also
make what brick and tile the
state should need? That question
leads into rather a wide field of
speculation. Why, for example,
should not other institutions
make all the socks needed in the
penitentiaries, and why, indeed,
should not a regular commerce
be organized as among the va-
rious state institutions, by which
the products of one might be ex-
changed for the products of an-
other, and make it unnecessary
to make appropriations for many
purchases that are now made in
the open market? We should
say, at first glance, that the pos-
sibilities are much larger and
more inviting than they are gen
erally supposed to be.—Dallas
News.
THEATER IN PAPAL PALACE.
The palace of the popes at
Avignon is known to all the world
For a long time it was used as bar-
racks, and thereby suffered very con-
siderably by alterations and con-
struction^. Much of the interior dec-
oration was damaged in putting up
partitions, etc. Then a better state
of things arose. The French govern-
ment had the place restored, and this
was done with discretion, and the
building was placed in the custody
of the municipality of Avignon. The
civic fathers seem to wish to turn
their trusteeship to account, and it
seems that they are in negotiation
with a theatrical manager to have
performances in the historic build-
ing. When weather permits the rep
resentations will be given in the
grounds, but in inclement seasons
the halls are to be used for enter-
tainments.
I have the celebrated trotting
stallion, Joe Wheeler, and the
jack known as the Russell Craft
jack. Persons desiring to raise
the best stock see me at Earnest’s
stable. John C. Earnest. dtf
