Curiosity.
Within the worndrous w ilderness,
If you will cume with me,
You'h ;net an ugly gi.intess
Calledl Curiosity;
Her nock i; fifty c ibits long,
An i -1t like a hose;
A aflU ia,,, s:lard-p:)inted prong
D es service as her nose.
Her body's shaped-'twill cause sur
prise
Just like a qtestihn mark,
And w;th two l tile gimlet eves
She sees when it's pitch dark;
She to vrs above the ttees so ta:1
When upright she (luth stand,
Like gentle Alice, yo:i'li recall,
In haunted Wonderland.
A lovely child she once was, at
The age of Etta May;
She poked her nose li matters that
Concerned her in no way;
So, mind your own affairs, nor let
Your prying self o'erdo,
Lest curiosity should get
The best, some day, of You.
The Hou-'sire Bros., who are
large lan] owners in this parish
have adoptAd a plan of giving a'l
rice farmer tenants all the land
they wish up to ten acres, rent
free, for the purpose of encour
aging home living habits. Their
idea i, to induce tenants to plant
potatoes, corn and all such pro
ducts as will tend to reduce their
dependence on the supply mer
chant. In doing so they of course
expect to promote a better spirit
of thrift and independence which
in turn will make a far better
class of tenants. This p'an is
well worthy of emulation by other
landlords, and if practiced gener
ally, I am sure would go far
towards removing the present
practice among tenants of rob
bing both land and landlord as
much as possible this year and
move onto another farm next
year--H. C. Fondren in Modern
Farming.

Free Scholarship In The School Of
Your Choice.
The Tyler Commercial College of
Tyler, Texas, is positively the only busi
ness college ii tue state which teaches
a thorough course of a practical, mo
dern bookkeeping and business train
ing. Other schools teach theoretical
bootheeping; some of them call it actu
at business, but it is not. The com
merical room of the Tyler Commerical
College is a community of business
houses of various kinds, Banks, whole
sale, Commission, Real Estate, Retail,
Insurrince, etc. Each student is engag.
ed in real, active, business, learning to
do by doing. Every entry made by the
student during his entire course is ori
ginated by an actual sale or purchase;
it may be grain, it may be aroceries
dry goods, real estate or stock in a cor*
poration, but the transaction is really
performed and every paper required in
the transaction, whether check, ilbte,
draft, receipt, mortgage, deed or what
not, is filled out by the student. Part
nership contracts are drawn up and
agreed upon between the parties form
ing the company. Articles of incor
poration are drawn up. Thru these
practical methods the student learns
business as well as bookkeeping; they
learn how to meet one another face to
face and transact business in a bust.
ness way, instead of copying theoretic
al transactions from a text book, as is
done in every other commercial school
in the state. It takes more teaching
force and better teachers to teach our
systems and methods; our teachers are
not only te schers of Bookkeeping, but
they must be well informed on business
customs. When a student learns to do
a thing by actually doing it, he learns .
It thoroughly, and with our practical,
face to face business methods we are
able to give the student a thorough
course of both bookkeeping and busi.
ness training in less time than he could
possibly get the theory, or so-called
practical bookkeeping alone in other
schools.
We will give a free scholarship in the
school of your choice to anyone finding
another school in this state teaching
both bookkeeping and thoro practical
business transactions as we do. Similar
practical methods are used in teaching
shorthand,typewriting, cotton classing,
telegraphy and business administration
and finance. We believe in learning to
do in the school room that which you
must do when going into the business
world, and it is this policy that has
made the Tyler Commercial College of
Tyler, Texas, the largest school of the
kind in America.

The May Apple Liver Tonic.
May apple is an old time liver medi
cine. Its active principle (Podophyllin)
is sometimes called Vegetable Calomel.
In Po-Do-Lax Ma Apple is combined
with other well-known liver remedies,
making Po-Do-Lax the idealliver medi.
cine. It arouses the liver, increases
bile, does not gripe, has no nausea and
one feels fine generally. Get a 50c.
bottle, take a dose to-night and notice
how much better you feel-you cannot
afford to get along without Po-Do-Lax.

and Mrs. E. L. Bower celebrated their
twenty-fifth wedding anniversary Sun

day for all present. A number of nice 4

Mr. E. L. Bower and BMiss Elizabeth
Hanstine were married at White Water
Kansas, Sept. 11, 1896, at which place
they lived until 1890 at which place
they lived until 1898 when they cast
their lot in the sunny south where
they have since lived. To this union
were born three children, a son who
died in infancy, and the twin girns Ola
and Ora, Ola being the only one living.
In all 41 guests, relatives and friends,
sat down to the anniversary dinner.
After music, talk, and laughter all de.
parted for their homes, leaving many
good wishes for a long happy life to
