C#.yntry Brother.
The countrfl’<'<litor does more
for less than an^ fther member of
bis community. hji‘ is a kind of
pack-horse for all that troubles and
the enterprises of hi* town. He
very often has to take Vmt his ad
vertising bills in trad* and ex
change job work for groceries. ,
lie is required to mention every
thing good that everybody does
and to be blind to the faults of the
community.
If he is a wide-awake newspaper
man, and essays to publish all the
news without fear or favor, he is
accused of knowing too much;
charged with being a stirrer-up of
strife, and people threaten to shoot
him full of holes. If, on the other
hand, he happens to he endowed
by nature with a pacific disposi
tion and no delight to pass away
the time by walking around like a
world power in a state of constant
preparedness for war and does not
publish the truth, he is not particu
larly molested but people say that
he is a moss back, and back num
ber, and there is nothing in his
paper.
If lie sends a bill for the paper
in advance he is accused of having
committed an outrage by some
people, and if lie allow-, the biil to
run on the party in arrears, will in
nine cases out of ten inform him
that he doesn't remember having
ordered the paper, that he didn’t
get it regularly, and that lie didn't
want it anyway.
lie has to aid all sorts of elee
mosynary institutions free of
charge or be accused of being stin
gy, and when betakes advertise-!
meats from business enterprises
which are objectionable to good
folks, he gets a few hot roasts
fresh from the fiery griddle of that
able statesman and defender of the
faith wiio sometimes signs himself
“Law and Order.’’ He isconstant
)y roasted by enterprising mer
chants for not getting out a mam
moth edition each week advertis
ing the splendid resources of the
town, and when he goes to these
merchants to solicit a small display
add, he is informed by them that
advertising does not pay.
We, could go on enumerating the
vicissitudes of the country editor

bright side, which the man who
has left it to engage in work on
the city daily can well appreciate.
There are in many daily newspa
per offices today careworn hearts
that are sighing for the seclusion
of a weekly tripod and many weary
hands that yearn once more for
the friendly grasp of the old time
friend, the Washington hand press.
We believe a conservative state

worse than being a country editor
is to be a. city editor. The news

BIRDS MUCH ASTRAY.
Instance* of Their I nrtpprtrd Ap
pearance Oat of the Keg
alar Serexou.
Individuals among- migratory fowls
and birds have their peculiarities just
as men have. They"^are sometimes
found in out-of-the-way places out of
season.
Last August Richard Strayhorn was
seated near a cattle tank in a pasture
of Bee county, Tex. The sun was with- ;
in half an hour of setting.
The tank was possibly an acre square '
and had two feet of muddy water in it.
The temperature was close to 100 de
grees in the shade.
Strayhorn was waiting for doves. In
that country doves fly to the tank for
water late in the afternoon. They |
come in dozens, and as they ore ex
ceedingly swift they make excellent j
shooting.
Suddenly hearing a splash, Stray
horn looked up. lie was partly shield
ed by the overhanging limb of a mes
quite.
He saw swimming some thirty yards
away a couple of small brown objects
which puzzled him. If the month had j
been August and the full heat of south- 1
ern Texas in the air. he would have j
said that they were teal. Those birds j
were not dtie. however, for more than \
six weeks, and he put them down as
hell-divers.
Ilell-divers or not, the doves were
not flying in thickly and he took a
crack at them. He killed one of them |
on the water. The other, instead of j
diving like a flash, leaped into the air
and started away. He downed it with
his left barrel—a long shot.
Retrieving them he saw that, they
were genuine blue-winged teal, many
days and thousands of miles in ad
vance of their brethren and sisters.
They were in excellent condition, too,
show ing that they had not made a long
continuous flight from the north.
Strayhorn resumed his seat in a
state of great satisfaction and in the
five minutes following missed a dove or
two. Then another strange thing hap
pened. A couple of birds dropped
swiftly to the bank of the tank not 20
yards from him and instantly disap
peared.
Ho had only a glimpse of I hem. but
would have been willing to swear that
they were jacksnipe, only nojacksnipe j
were to be expected for at least two
months. He understood, of course,
that the pair had squatted, their [
brown backs bending with the brown
earth.
He ran his eye carefully along the
flat bare bank five or six times, and
then he made them out, crouched in
true jacksnipe fashion, legs under,
belly to the ground, bullet head drawn
down upon Uie back, bill upon the
breast, only round black eyes gleam
ing and betraying them. They were
not a foot apart and only one barrel
was necessary.
When he got them in hand Strayhorn
saw that they were birds of the size of
jacksnipe with bills like the bills of
jacksnipe and with backs of the same
hue; their breasts, however, were a
beautiful reddish brown almost a true
red. He did not know w hat they were,
but an amateur ornithologist in Bee
ville identified them as robin-snipe.
They had never been seen in that
country before and were, like the teal,
weeks ahead of the time for their
southward flight.
Veal nn«l I’nr*ni|» S'tew.
For this the knuckle of veal may be
utilized. Scrape and cut into small
dice two good-steed parsnips and half
n dozen roots of vegetable oysters.
Peel anil scrape one knob of celery
and cut fine—together with a small
onion. Put four or five thin slices of
salt pork in the bottom of a stew ket
tle. and lay on them the veal and
vegetables with boiling water to near
ly cover. Simmer slowly until thor
oughly tender. Tt will take about
two hours. Dish the veal and vege-1
tables on n hot platter, thicken the
liquor slightly and pour over them.—

NIGGERS IN THE WHITE HOUSE
(author unknown.)
Things at the White House
Looking mighty curious;
Niggers running everything,
White people furious.
Niggers on the front porch, ,
Niggers on the gable,
Niggers in the dinning room,
Niggers at the table.
Niggers in the sitting room,
Making all the talk:
Niggers in the ball room «
Doing cake walk.
Niggers in the east room
Make a mighty throng.
Niggers in the music room
Singing a coon song.
Niggers in the hallway
Taking off their wraps,
Niggers in the billiard room
Shooting game of craps.
Niggers in the store room
Packing way their plunder,
Niggers in the bed room
Snoring like thunder.
Not a room in the White House
Without niggers many;
Baby in the nursery
A nigger pickaninny.
Niggers on the stairway
With very much satiety,
Niggers in the blue room
Assembled for society.
Niggers in the front yard
Niggers in the back;
Niggers come in omnibus
And niggers come in hack.
On they go to Washington
With a mighty rush,
Forty thousand niggers
Getting in the push.
There’s trouble in the White House
More than you can tell;
Yelling like wild men,
Niggers raising hell.
I see a way to settle it,
,1 ust as clear as water—
Let Mr. Hooker Washington
Marry Teddy’s daughter.
Or if this does not overflow
Teddy’s cup of joy,
Then let Miss Dinah Washington
Marry Teddy’s boy.
Hut everything is settled;
Roosevelt is dead.
Niggers in the White House
Cut off Teddy's head.

“Does farming pay?” is not the
question. As well ask if merchan
dising, the practice of law, theolo
gy or other callings pay. Farming
pays more than any other business
known. It loads the trains and
ships, and pays the freight; it tills
the warehouses and pays the com
missions; it pays most of tin* taxes
and more interest than anything.
| Of course farming pays. Where
it is inteligently followed it also
pays the farmer.-Farm ami Ranch.
Catarrh Cannot Be Cured

taken internally, and acts directly
on the blood and mucous surfaces.

medicine. It was prescribed by
one of the best physicians in this
country for year', and is a regular
prescription. It is composed of
the best tonics known, combined
with the best blood purifiers, act

BULLS THAT ARE NOT IRISH.
A Bnnch of Blander* Thnt Were
Taken from I'arllmuentarr
Debate* In Austria.
I arh giad to Bee from the Austrian
Official Gazette that my own country
men have by no means the supposed
monopoly of parliamentary “bulls’'
which has caused these verbal confu
sions of otherwise clear ideas to bs
considered exclusively Irish, writes T.
1*. O’Connor, in Mainly About People.
Herr Weizmann, the chief of the re
porting staff in the Australian parlia
ment has made a collection of these
“flowers of rhetoric,” as he calls them,
and gave a few spcciments in a lecture
which he receutly delivered. I trans
late half u dozen, just to show what
various Austro-Hungarian legislators
can do when they are put to it:
“One most important point of the ag
ricultural question is the maintenance
of the breed of horses to which I have
the honor to belong.”
“We are here for the weal and woe
of our constituents.”
“Gentlemen, consider this question
in the light of a dark future.”
“The eye of the law weighs heavily
on our press legislation.”
"There,gentlemen,is the ever-chang
ing point of which the opposition has
made a hobby-horse."
“Thin taunt is the same old sea ser
pent which, for years and years, has
been groaning in this assembly."
Some of these would not bring dis
credit on the fair fame of Munster it
self, that breeding ground of the really
egregious “bull.” Taken together, they
are by no means a had collection for
mere Austrian M. P.’s, children of that
“lloly Homan empire" whose very title
was the finest bull in all history. “It
was so called,” said Voltaire, with ab
solute truth, “because it was neither
holy, nor Homan, nor an empire.”
SHIRTWAIST SILKS.
Pretty Materials That Are Now In
Illxh Favor for Warm
Weather Wear.
The newest challies are fit to rank
with the louisine prints and are ex
tremely decorative in all ways. They
are more subdued in tone than the
louisines and not always so flowery,
though in certain grades of challies
it is hard to tell challie from the
empire stuffs, even to the little
wreath which has found its way into
this goods, says the Brooklyn Eagle.
It is very interesting to note the
silks that come for shirt waists.
They are called fancy silks and b_v
that simple name many of the most
elegant of the season’s goods are
found.
The uncertain figure with a gros
grain background is the favorite.
The wide weave ottoman silk also
makes up well nnd all the corded
silks. Moire and miroir effects are
more than charming, and all of
these wear better than taffeta; so
I much better that one loses one’s lik
! ing for the taffeta, which slits so
easily.
Vet whole taffeta dresses are being
made np for warm weather wear.
A leather colored taffeta, in a dark
shade, was made up in very fashion
able design, with a basque with a
little frill around the waist, and with
n skirt with three ruffles around the
foot, one above the other, each a lit
tle narrower than the one below it.
The skirt was very long and the
wearer somehow had a quaint- style,
| as though the gown were borrowed
j from an old trunk stored away to
j grow rusty nnd dusty in the days
when seal brown nnd brown silks of
| all hues were worn.
Outdoor Wed dinars in Mayandjnnrv.
It is a growing custom to cele
brate country weddings, in May and
June, out-of-doors. One of the pret
tiest of weddings took place last
May in an orchard in full blossom,
when nature seemed to have decked
herself for a bridal. Garlands of foli
age suspended from tree to tree
marked off the aisle—those of white
flowers indicating the place where
the bridal party was to stand. For
a country wedding the invitations
should give full information about
trains, and carriages or carryalls be
sent to convey the guests to and
from the station.
After an hour given to their
friends the bridal pair retire to dress
! for their journey, and the formal
guests withdraw. The bridegroom
awaits the bride at the foot of the
staircase with the family and inti
mate friends. At her appearance she
holds aloft her bridal bouquet and
then throws it among the brides
maids. The one to catch it will be
the next bride—so say the Fates! —

Friday by a vote of 24 to 7.
Senator Price made a magnificent
speech in favor of the bill and was
the recipient of many congratula

vote upon the measure.
By a vote of 48 ayes to 43 noes
the house failed to pass house joint

to tiie constitution, increasing the
limit of the state school tax from
two mills to four mills. Fifty-one
votes are required Mr. Campbell
of Randolph gave notice of a mo
tion to reconsider and the matter
will come up again. Pending dis
cussion a lively tilt occurred be
tween Mr. Campbell of Randolph
and Mr. Campbell of Pulaski.
By a vote of 64 to 14 the house
adopted a resolution authorizing
the committee on ways and means
to inquire into the allegations and

hereditary or other causes. Dr. Miles’ Heart
Cure is not only a great heart regulator, but
it is a blood tonic which speedily corrects
and regulates the heart’s action, enriches the

whose letter follows, and greatly improve
your general health:
“I haye been so greatly benefited by Dr.
Miles’ Nervine and Heart Cure that I freely
recommend them as the best remedies for
the diseases they are recommended to cure.
When 1 began tak ng these medicines I
weighed scarcely 140 pounds, my nerves
were badly shattered and mv heart troubled
me a great deal. 1 had pain in my left aim
and shoulder, had difficulty in sleeping <»
my left side, had frequent snsotVnng
and my heart would flutter and 1 . te.
I could eat scarcely any kind of food without
suffering great distress, atd was so restless
and nervous that 1 slept little night or day.
Now I am never bothered with my heart,
my nerves are steady as a die, I ship well,
eat well and weigh 163 pounds. I am happy
now and am trying to make hack the ni >ney
I spent for doctors who did me no good
while I was ill.”—T. R. Crawford, Center,
