Colas. Their Proper Treatment and Core.
Commonly, the first symptom of a "colrf "
In a chilly reeling, accompanied by aneex-
frig, or a tickling in the throat. The most
frequent of external come* are draught*,
wet or cold feet, or going frotu hot room*
suddenly into cold one*. More frequently
there is an inner cause—namely the stagna
tion of the blood caused bv constitution or
biliousness. Almost the fits! symptom Is
1^e feeling of cold in the feel and iucreased
discharge from the nose.
No one ever takes cold unless consti-
pated. or exhausted, and having what we
call mal-nutrition, which is attended with
impoverished blood and exhaustion of nerve
force. Tonics consisting of large portions
of alcohol, iron or cod liver oil do not bring
the desired changes in the blood, because
they do not enter the system and are not
absorbed into the blood, with the exception
of the alcohol, which shrivels up the red
blood corpuscles when it don come in
contact with them We recommend the
botanical extract of Dr Pierce because it
contains no alcohol, and offers a reasonable
and scientific method of treating the blood,
by improving the nutritive functions of the
patient. The "Golden Medical Discovery"
accomplishes thia, by first restoring the
enfeebled digestive organa, so that food,
the natural tirnie builder, will be digested
and assimilated.
Accept no substitute for Dr Pierce's
Ooldeu Medical Discovery. There is noth-
ing "just as good" foi diseases of the
stomach.
BEING SOMETHING THAT
YOU AIN’T.
Affpr you’ve b°pn married u
Ft tie" time you’re going toffind
that there are two kind") of hap-
piness that you can have—home
happiness and fashionable hap-
piness. With the first kind
you get a lot of children, and
with the second a lot of dogs.
While dogs mind betterrand
aeem more affectionate, be-
cause they kiss you with their
whole face. I’ve always prefer-
red to associate with children.
Then, for the first kind of hap-
piness you keep house for your-
self, and for the second kind
you keep house lor your neigh-
bors.
You can buy a lot of home
happiness with a mighty little
salary, but fashionable happi-
ness always costs just a little
more than you’re getting. You
can’t keep down expenses when
you’ve got to keep up appear-
ances—that is, the appearance
of being something that you
ain’t. You’re in the fix of n
dog chasing his tail—you can’t
make ends meet, and if you do
you get such a crick in your
back that you don’t get any
real satisfaction out of your
gymnastics.
You’ve got to live on a rump
steak basis when you’re alone,
so you can appear to be on a
quail-on-toast basis when you
have company. And while
they’re eating your quail and
betting that, they are cold stor-
age birds, they’ll be whispering
to each other that the butcher
told their cook that you lived
all last week on a soup bone
and two pounds of hamburger
steak.
Your wife must hog it round
the house in an old wtapper,
beetiuse she must have two or
three of those dresses that
come high on the bills and low
on the shoulders, nnd when she
wears ’em the neighbors aie
going to wonder how much
you’re short in your accounts.
And if you’ve been raised a
shouting Methodist, and been
• used to shocking your sntisf o-
tion in n good hearty “glory!
or a “Hallelujah 1 ’’ you'vegoi
to quit it, und go to one rf
those churches wheie me iu..t
answer tothe question, “VVlini
is the chief end of m ill” is
“Dividends,” and where they
think you’re throwing a Ik, ami
sick the sexton on you if you
forget yourself and whoop it up
a little when your religion gels
to working.
Then, if you do have any
children, you cau’t send them
to a plain public school to learn
reading, writing and arithmetic,
because they’ve got to go to a
fashionable private one to learu
hog Latin, hog wash, and how
much the neighbors are worth.
Of course the rich neighbors
are going to say that they’re
pushing little kids, but they’ve
got to learu how to push and to
shove, and to butt right in
where they’re not wanted, if
they intend to herd with the
real Angola billy goats. Tiny
have got to Darn howto bow
to every one in front of them,
and to kick out at every one
behind them. It’s been my ex-
perience that it takes a good
four years course in miobbing
before you can giaduate a first-
class snob.
Then, when you’ve sweat
along at it for a <loz**n years or
so. you will wake up some fine
morning and discover that
your appearances haven’t de-
ceived any one but yourself. A
man who tiiea that kind of a
game is a good deal like the
fellow who puts on a fancy vest
over a dirty shirt—lie’s the
only man iu the word who can’t
see the egg spots on his chin.

Merchant to his Son, by George

LETTER TO Hope Prtanall,
Alice. Texas,
Dear Sir: Lead arid-oil is nol
ged paint; don’t wear; the rule is, aa
everyone knows, lepaint in three
years. Devne lasts six, in the same
« ny—allow wide margin in all such
statements. What dots it mean, to
last? It means llie same with hotb.
As to covering; that’s another.
Here’s fin instance.
Mr J. J. Hall, Slih ffield, Pa,
painted two houses, lead, oil; look
40 gallons. Last summer bought
40 gallons Devo* for the same two
houses; returned 10 gallons.
The paint, that covers, lasts; it’s
all paint, true pasul, and full, meaxu
re. Lead, and-eil is all pa nt hut
not good paint; the lead wants I'tio.
Belter paint Devoe.

much space that it prevents us
from publiditug in full uis
spontaneous outburst of song,
published iu Wednesday’s Ex-
press. so we must tearfully fore-
go tiiat pleasure and publ s i
but one stanza, which reads:

With twins, girl and boy, and both up
to date,
At Houlh Flores street, No. 31:91”
—Seguin Enterprise.
Congressman Slayden tried,
during the last session of Con-
gress, to get a bill through giv-
ing Col. Carr a pension for sei-
viees during the Imiittu wars,
though he was never in the
military service of the United
States. If this story of the
twins can be substantiated, Mr.
Slayden should make hasle to
lay tue facts before President
Roosevelt. Then if our old
friend, Locomotive, will turn
Republican, the President will
•io doubt order his name placed
on t he pension rolls. For our
part, we coufess to a certain de-
gree of skepticism regarding
those twins.
Wk have never read or heard !
an itimation that Roosevelt ran j
at San Juan hill; bnt h« car- ’
tainly ran—ran like a scared i
wolf in New York last week.
The Rev, Swallow appeals to
have been swallowed up iu the
cataclasym. We haven’t seen
his name mentioued since it oc-
curred.
At least Mr. Morin will have
the satisfaction of having his
name enrolled among those
who “also ran.”
Those who were iu a position
to know say that Sam Lanham
didn’t get at all rattled or ner-
vous ou the eve of election, but
took things perfectly cool. But,
then, Sam never was nervous,
even as Sargeant Sam.
Thp. Echo acknowledges the
receipt of au invitation to at-
tend the celebration of the thir-
ty-third anniversary of the Cor-
pus Christi Fire Department, to
be held ou the 29th inst.
And Mr. Lowden also fell
outside the breastworks. But
he ha* somebody to console
him. He recently acquired a
charming young wife.
Prof. J. W. Carson, of the
A. & M. College, College Sta-
tion, and other prominent gen-
tlemen, will deliver public ad-
dresses in Alice bu the 25th
inst., on the subject of irriga-
tion, truck growing, diversified
crops, and other kindled top-
ics in which the people of this
section are vitally interested.
These gentlemen have made a
study of these subjects, and
will be able to give onr people
much valuable information.
Tin* lec:ares will be free, and
we hop* to see u large attend-
ance. *"

W. S. Bailey, P. O. True, Texas, writes: “My

her arm, when I was persuaded to use Ballard’s
Snow Liniment, which effected a complete cure. I
have also used it for old sores, frost bites aud sVin
eruptions. It does the work.”
