Judge Lair returned home
"Sunday from his trip to Ft
Vorth in th e interests of the
people of Randall county before
the committee to locate the ex
periment station that the last
legislature authorized; but his
work was futile. East Texas
has acquired a habit of going
after everything in sight and it
is useless for the "West to expect
anything unless it is something
that section does not want.

When the Rod Was Not
Spared.
The change of thought and
conditions of mankind are no
better illustrated than by the
history of the rod, says the De
cember Delineator, in an article
on the morals of the child, by
Dr. Grace Peck ham Murray,
which mentions a Suabian
schoolmaster, who during bis
fifty-one years of superintend
ence of a large school had given
911,500 canings, 121,600 flog
gings, 209,000 custodes, 13G.000
tips with the ruler, 10,200 boxes
on the ear 22,700 tasks by the
heart. He bad made 700 boys
stand on peas, 6,000 kneel on a
sharp edge of wood, 5,000 wear
the fool's cap and 1,700 hold
the rod.

A GOOD THING

tion of Dr. A. Boschee, a celebrated
German physician, and is ncknowl
edged to be one of the most fortun
ate discoveries In medicine. It quick
ly cures coughs, colds and all lung
troubles of the severest nature, re
moving as It does, the cause of the
affection and leaving the parts in a
strong and healthy condition. It Is
not an experimental medicine, bnt
has stood the test of years, giving
satisfaction in every case, which its
increasing pale ever-season confirms.
Two million bottles sold annually.
Boschee's German syrup was intro
duced in the United States in lSttX,
and Is now sold in every town and

dotses will relieve any ordinary
cough. For sale by Hadley, the
