and Tom Hudson’s Ex-
with the Boll Weevil.
(By Joe Sapping to? )
notice from the press that
some of the Louisiana cotton
growers are flattering themselves
with the belief that the recent
cold weather down there has de-
stroyed the boll weevils that have
been ravaging the cotton crop of
that state for the past two years.
1 don’t want to discourage the
cotton growers of our sister state,
but I feel it my duty to break the
news to them as gently as I can
that the boll weevil is a tough
citizen and very tenaceous of life
and in all probability out few, if
any, have lost their lives by ex
death. I went out and brought
in my neighbors and had them
look at it, and everyone of them
said the bug was a corpse. But
I wanted to be dead sure that the
weevil had breathed his last, so I
put the cake of ice into a tub to
melt. Just ten days afterward I
went to the tub to see how things
were getting along and found the
ice had melted, and to my sur-
prise there sat my boll weevil on
the rim of the tub rubbing his
legs and looking just as life-like
as ever.”
For the benefit of those who,
after reading Bill’s experiments
with that boll weevil, are inclined
to doubt it in any particular I
would say that I have known him
Many a Honey Grove Citizen Finds

With distressing urinary disorders,
Daily existence is but a struggle.
No need to keep it up.
Doan’s Kidney Pills will cure you.
Mrs. P. A. Barker, 712 Austin St.,
Sherman, Texas, says: “Before com-
mencing the use of Doan’s Kidney
Pills three years ago, I was in misery
and rarely free from a dull backache.
At times sharp, shooting pains would
dart across the small of my back and
into my sides. My kidneys had been
in bad condition for a long time and
the irregular action of the kidney se-
cretions caused me great annoyance.-
It was after Doan's Kidney Pills, had
helped my son that I began using
them. In a'short time I realized that
I was being helped and continued
their use. Two boxes entirely cured
me and during the three years which
have elapsed not a sign of the trouble
has ever reappeared. Doan’s Kidney
Pills are certainly a wonderful remedy'
and one that should be known by all
sufferers of kidney complaint.”

posure to the cold. For the ben-1 J
efit of science and all those who the ^oUh^t^lies^oTisewife0on
are acquainted with the habits,
constitution and general staying
qualities of the Mexican boll wee-
vil, I most respectfully submit for
their consideration the experi-
ments conducted by Bill Sykes
and Tom Hudson, both of whom
are warm friends of mine, with a
f boll weevils. I will first
give the experiments conducted
by Bill Sykes, which he began in
the early fall of 1904 and closed
e* latter part of February the
ear. The result of the
t was given me by Bill
He said: “I caught a
weevil in September and put it in
a bottle and corked it up tight
to see how long it would live
without food. About two weeks
afterward I examined the bottle
to see how the weevil was faring
and was surprised to find the bot-
tle empty. I accused my family
of liberating my weevil but each
of them denied the charge. On
removing the cork I discovered
my weevil—it had established
ter quarters by burrowing in-
. After digging it out
t back in the bottle and
up air tight with a glass
For several weeks after

uable time in trying to

b to the top of the bot-
out its little brace
d bore on the stopper
at a time or until it
heeome exhausted and fall
to the bottom. But as soon as it
got rested it would climb back to
the stopper and go through the
same performance again. To
save my life I couldn’:} keep from
feeling sorry for that poor bug to
e^'jfeamfully climb the slick
jAhe bottle and lose its toe
holdamPJall.to the bottom just
as it would begin boring on the
stopper.
“I saw that close confinement
without food was having no effect
on my weevil after I had kept in
the bottle for four weeks,so I de-
cided to fill the bottle with water
and see if I could drown it. Wa-
ter seemed to be the very thing it
occasions when he returns from a
poker game along about 3 a. m.,
and that he voted the populist
ticket once from constable up to
governor, I know nothing against
his character.
I will now briefly give the ex-
periment as conducted by Tom
Hudson, and will here state that
Tom is just as reliable as Bill and
in some respects is more so, as he
never strayed off among the Pops
so far as I know. Tom told me
out of his own mouth that he
caught a boll weevil in August,
1895, and began his experiments
by tying it up by one of its hind
legs to a clothes line and letting
it hang head downward until
frost, when on examination he
found it perfectly well and hear-
ty. He then put it in a bottle of
coal oil and kept it there for ten
days but when he took it out it
was just as lively as ever. He
then put it in another bottle and
filled it with turpentine and kept
it there for ten days, but on tak-
ing it out he found it still alive
and ready for another experi-
ment. Tom said he was so dis-
gusted at his failure to kill the
thing that he threw it out in the

The proverb that “charity suf-
fereth long and is kind” was
freshly illustrated in St. LouD, a
day or two ago, when a “shoe-
string” beggar with a “blind”
card pinned to his coat was pick-
ed up drunk on the streets. An
investigation showed that he was
worth $150,000 and owned valu-
able real estate in three cities,
while his wife was worth $50,000
in her own name. The beggar

Balsam for the Lungs and Kidneys.
1 was born in the State of Kentucky,
where my father practiced medicine for
forty-eight years, and where his father,
his brother and my brother, also prac
ticed till thej> were very old men.
When my father was about 85 years
age he -was takn down with what the
physicians at that time called quick con-
sumption. His brother physicians who
attended him gave up the case, telling
him they could do nothing more for him.
He then told my mother to get certain
remedies and how to compound them,
and in less than three months he was
able to resume hi? practice. He lived
to be 86
