KMCAST
FOR JULY.
Copyright 1910, by C. H. Rieth.
When the Ballinger trial is ended,
And the jury has said what it thinks;
When the case has been made and de-
fended
With the wonted political winks—
We shall smile—and gads we shall need
to
That feel it as well had been dropped
And the Guggenheim crowd will pro-
ceed to
Resume where it was when it stop-
ped.
The signs shall come down in the tim-
ber,
And the patents shall tie up the coal.
The law will get flabby and limber,
And the trusts will do well on the
whole.
It always turns out in that manner,
Although we may blush to confess it,
And we do not regard it a banner
Achievement, exactly, to guess it.
July is a tribute to Caesar.
One day with some other insur-
gents, he taked by the pillar of
Pompey on things of political ur-
gence. He was just on the point
of explaining the key to some
government riddle when a party
of regulars jumped him and cut
him in two in the middle.
There were Decius Brutus, the
speaker, and Cassius, boss of the
Senate, together with others in-
sistent upon some political tenet.
"The party forever!" they shout-
ed, and what with that great
slasher, Servilius Casca, great
Caesar had as well been run
through a hasher.
At any rate, Antony found him
cut up into fodder for fishes, and
begged this request of the Ro-
mans, who granted the least of
his wishes. And thus it has hap-
pened and shall be so long as the
Tiber runs by the Pillar of Pom-
pey that Caesar shall live in the
name of July.
The Fourth shall return to discover
Us waiting in battle array,
And what with one thing and another
Regretting that we won anyway.
The cannon shall boom and the scram-
ble
For things on the medicine shelves
Shall warn inexperienced countries
Aspiring to freedom themselves.
The dynamite cap and the
rocket shall remind us of tyranny
thwarted, and the valiant fore-
father shall turn in his coffin to
see what he started. The eagle
shall mount on his pinions and
circle the North and the South,
and the rapid-fire orator stand on
the platform and shoot off his
mouth.
This latter, however, is harm-
less in a strict pathological way,
but remains notwithstanding an
evil we must in due season allay.
Alas, how deficient i s nature
that might lay this pest on the
shelf with a ruling that shooting
his mouth off he gave the lockjaw
to himself!
This tetanus, we are quite cer-
tain, has good and defensible
uses, and all of its manifestations
thus far have been only abuses.
The idea, as we regard it is not
that it should be the cause of any
more serious matter than locking
the orator's jaws.
You know that we never hear
of it except on the Fourth of
July, and whenever some inno-
cent gets it we forever are won-
dering why. Well, this is the
fact of the matter, and by
Jove, we are willing to bet it
turns out in the long run that no
one but a lot of wind-jammers
get it.
However, be that as it may be
And get whom the tetanus will,
The jubilant youth of the nation
Will resume with its shooting to kill.
The safe and the sane celebration
Will suit us who are not so skittish,
But the youngsters have got to do
something
To show what we did to the British.
There never was anything safe
in the way the forefathers at-
tacked them, and as for the saner
attainments, the old fellows
seem to have lacked them. They

Our wagons won't work your horses to death.

simply cast fear to the bowwows
and waded into the affray, and a
boy does not think himself
worthy if he can't shoot himself,
anyway.
At any rate, Jeffries and John-
son will growl like a couple of
poodles and observe independ-
ence with beating the hair off
their mutual noodles. They'll
alternate making the other
leviathan howl for his mother,
and if the country at random is
lucky they'll manage to kill one
another.
It's only a plan to make money,
deserving the strictest of stric-
tures, for what they will have is
a race war, dividing what's made
on the pictures. We've been
pretty mad in this country for
dollars, and power, and places,
but this is the first time we've
trafficked upon the abyss between
races.
The fat occupant of the White House
Will lie on his back in the grass
Beneath the green Beverly maples
Observing the aeroplanes pass.
The chauffeurs will keep right on chauf-
fing,
With seeing it's no one but Bill,
And they'll sigh just to think what had
happened
Had they flown over Sagamore Hill.
But not every man can be
Caesar, as someone has stated,
alas! and in the due course of the
matter somebody must lie in the
grass. It's hard on a strenuous
nation, afflicting us all in a way,
but we'll look on the brighter
side of it, and conclude it is good
for the hay.
However, time flies is a proverb,
And one day, his foot on his gong
And his engine back-pedaling, August
Will come aeroplaning along.
What He Has Missed.
Chicago has a freak. His name
is Geo. M. Reynolds, aged 45, and
at the head of a $200,000,000
bank. There is nothing unusual
in a man being at the head of an
institution of such collossal size,
but there is something unusual
about the life of Mr. Reynolds.
For instance, he has never lost a
day from sickness; he has never
taken a vacation that did not
have business inside; he does not
drink; he does not smoke;he does
not play bridge; he does not play
golf; he has no favorite author;
he has no hobby but banking; he
has no country residence; he does
not even take exercise; he works
nine hours a day.
Think of that if you please!
Nothing all his life but hard work
—nine long hours daily of physi-
cal strife and yet a millionaire at
the age of 45. Only yesterday I
heard a friend say that no man
ever got rich working hard. And
to think, too, that Reynolds never
takes a day off! What a glorious
amount of fun he has missed! No
baseball, no tennis, no golf; no
days in the woods around picnic
spreads, or camp-fire scenes on
the lake;no joy rides to the coun-
try, where God speaks with such
eloquence, or visits to the moun-
tains and waterfalls, where His
feet leave such impressive foot-
prints. Forty-five years of mon-
ey-making, to the neglect, per-
haps, of a million joys that you
and I would not exchange for all
his wealth.
Is it worth it?—Pittsburg Ga-
zette.

Cotton Crop Report.
The Memphis Commercial Ap-
peal, a journal which makes a
specialty of cotton crop reports,
printed a report Monday cover-
ing the entire cotton belt. Be-
low we reprint a summary of
conditions, made up from reports
of all the cotton states:
"Cotton in the south has
grown more during the past sev-
en days than in any similar pe-
riod this season, a fact generally
due to higher temperatures.
Where the rainfall has not been
excessive, as it was in North
Carolina, southern Georgia and
in scattered localities elsewhere
east of the Mississippi river, cul-
tivation made rapid progress and
the fields are clean. The plant,
though still small for the season,
is healthy and sturdy and bids
fair to rapidly overcome some of
its lateness. In North Carolina
and southern Georgia grass has
become a menace but little dam-
age has been done that two
weeks of favorable weather will
not overcome.
"In Tennessee, Alabama, Mis-
sisippi, Arkansas, Louisiana,
Oklahoma and eastern Texas
there are few complaints. The
crop did well and is becoming
really promising.
' 'In central and western Texas
rain is beginning to be needed,
although up to the present time
save in the most western coun-
ties where cotton is grown in
quantity, no important harm has
been done to the crop. In these
western districts, however, hot
winds have been hurtful and the
cotton is at a standstill. It will
soon go backward without rain.
Oklahoma, too, will soon be dry.
The plant in these western states
as elsewhere is small and mois-
ture would greatly stimulate the
growth.
' 'Boll weevils are numerous and
destructive in localities, but over
the entire area infested appear
rather less in evidence than is
usual at this time of year.
' 'Fair weather is needed east of
the Mississippi river, while rains
would be helpful to the west."
A Wild Blizzard Raging
brings danger, suffering—often
death—to thousands, who take
colds, coughs and lagrippe—that
terror of winter and spring. Its
danger signals are "stuffed up"
nostrils, lower part of nose sore,
chills and fever, pain in back of
head, and a throat - gripping
cough. When Grip attacks, as
you value your life, don't delay
getting Dr. King's New Discov-
ery. "One bottle cured me,"
writes A. L. Dunn, of Pine Val-
ley, Miss., "after being 'laid up'
for three weeks with Grip.'' For
sore lungs, hemorrhages, coughs,
colds, whooping coughs, bron-
chitis, asthma, it's supreme. 50c.

A Poor Weak Woman
As she is termed, will endure bravely and patiently
agonies which a strong man would give way under.
The fact is women are more patient than they ought
to be under such troubles.
Every woman ought to know that she may obtain
the most experienced medical advice free of charge
and in absolute confidence and privacy by writing to
the World's Dispensary Medical Association, R. V.
Pierce, M. D., President, Buffalo, N. Y. Dr. Pierce
has been chief consulting physician of the Invalids'
Hotel and Surgical Institute, of Buffalo, N. Y., for
many years and has had a wider practical experience
in the treatment of women's diseases than any other physician in this country*
His medicines are world-famous for their astonishing efficacy.
The most perfect remedy ever devised for weak and deli"
cate women is Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription.
IT MAKES WEAK WOMEN STRONG,
SICK WOMEN WELL.
The many and varied symptoms of woman's peculiar ailments are fully set
forth in Plain English in the People's Medical Adviser (1008 pages), a newly
revised and up-to-date Edition of which, cloth-bound, will be mailed free on
receipt of 31 one-cent stamps to pay cost of mailing only. Address as above.
BOARD ORDERS REDUCTION.
State Fire Rating Board Says Rates
Are Excessive and Must
Come Down.
The State Fire Rating Board,
which has been in session several
days, handed down a decision
Tuesday to the effect that the
rates made by the insurance com-
panies must be reduced. A gen-
eral reduction in practically all
classes of risks of from 25 to 30
per cent was ordered. The com-
panies were ordered to publish
and file new rates in accordance
with the Board's order on or be-
fore July 5th, at which date the
new rates must go into effect.
Snakes as Actors.
Nearly every animal under the
sun has been trained in some
fantastic fashion, but no one ever
dreamed of training a snake to
assume the role of an actor, until
the recent production, in London,
of the latest Conan Doyle play.
It is entitled "The Speckled
Band." In the course of the
performance the great scene ar-
rives, where a rock python, from
India, is released from a basket
and climbs down a bell cord into
the room where murder is to be
accomplished.
The snake is excited and teased
into a venomous display of tem-
per, but performs his part
adroitly.
There seems no limit to the
miracles of the stage. Hammer-
stein, in New York, is featuring
a flea circus.
How the patience of man can
accomplish such feats of training
is a seven-day wonder.
In London the snake resides in
a private museum. The snake's
master does not appear on the
stage, but the signals are given
from the wings. The snake is
obedient and answers each slight
whistle. Few men have either
nerve or patience to train a dead-
ly snake, and it is needless to say
that the human actors are very
cautious about approaching their
mute associate.
It seems that men can accom-
plish almost anything. No ani-
mal is so wild or brutal or cruel
that it cannot be tamed with
kindness. —Commercial-Appeal.

Saved at Death's Door.
The door of death seemed
ready to open for Murray W. Ay-
ers, of Transit Bridge, N. Y.,
when his life was wonderfully
saved. ' 'I was in a dreadful con-
dition," he writes, "my skin was
almoft yellow, eyes sunken;
tongue coated; emaciated from
losing 40 pounds, growing weak-
er daily. Virulent liver trouble
pulling me down to death in spite
of doctors. Then that matchless
medicine—Electric Bitters—cured
me. I regained the 40 pounds
lost and am now well and strong.''
For all stomach, liver and kidney
troubles they're supreme. 50c

New Jawbone, Made of Solid Gold.
New York, June 27.—A man
with a solid gold jawbone is con-
valescing at the Post-Graduate
hospital in this city. He didn't
acquire it as a fad, like diamonds
in the teeth, nor is the patient,
Michael Woods, a wealthy
man who desires to take a large
lump of the precious metal to the
grave with him. The golden
jawbone is the result of a curious
and unprecedented operation, and
Michael Woods is glad he has it,
not because it is gold, but because
it has saved his life.
Dr. Aspinwall Judd, visiting
surgeon at the hospital, and Dr.
Charles Gordon Heyd conceived
and executed the operation which
made Woods' jawbone aurif-
erous.
The man, who is more than 70
years old, was admitted to the
hospital several months ago. A
cancerous growth in his neck af-
fected the bone of the lower jaw,
and ate away so much of it on
one side that the bone was about
to break in two. The case was
so advanced that it appeared at
first as though nothing could be
done to prevent the break, which
would have resulted in the pa-
tient's death.
Drs. Judd and Heyd made sev-
eral examinations and decided
that it would be possible to cut
away the affected part, which
was several inches in length,
break the bone, which was nec-
essary because of the state of the
jaw, and then fill in and bridge
across the cleft with a plate of
gold. _
Eagle Lake Drying Up.
Eagle Lake, just across the
river from Sowell's Bluff, is re-
ported going dry and the water
that remains in the lake is not
more than eight or ten inches in
depth. The lake is full of fish,
and these are reported dying by
the thousands. It is reported
that there are at least two car
loads of dead fish floating around
on the top of the lake. Numer-
ous cases of poisoning are report-
ed by people who have been eat-
ing the fish caught out of the
lake. It is said that it is no un-
common sight to see cat fish
weighing fifty pounds stuck up
in the mud and unable to move.
Eagle lake has for years been a
mecca for fishermen from all
parts of the country.
