Woodpecker Still Pecks.
Angered by a woodpecker, which
had pecked a hole in the eave of his
shanty at the city limits, Bolivar Deck
loaded a blunderbuss and lay in wait
for the bird. He fired when he caw
the red crest appear through the hole.
The weapon kicked him against the
wall. His wrist was sprained, and
three dishes were broken. The shot
went through a window and crippled
a neighbor’s chicken. The cost of
the shot amounted to $4.30. The
woodpecker was unharmed.—Conner-

Admired a Good Fighter.
At a certain well-known garden res-
taurant in St. Louis the proprietor had
a parrot that often furnished a great
deal of amusement. One evening when
the garden was filled a tiny fox terrier
pup slipped in. Polly happened to be
off of her perch, talking in her pigeon
toed planner as fast as her chain
would allow. The pup spied her and
made one grand dash for poor Polly,
grabbed her, and gave her the -worst
shaking she’d ever had in her life.
When they were finally separated
Polly, standing in the midst of her
ruined finery, cocked her saucy head
on one side and exclaimed: “I like
that pup.”

Lepraphobia.
The horror of lepers is a religious
horror. The Scriptural writers were
not good at diagnosing diseases, and
their accounts mix up leprosy with
several other ailments
ly infectious. Lejy^gy^g^not nearly so
^a^a|i ?.8 and It is not so
Easily “catching.” In fact, some doc-
tors and nurses of lepers, -who have
attended them for years hold that it
is not spread at all by contact. The
terror still inspired by the traditions
of the disease Doctor Rucker of the
federal surgeon general’s office prop-
erly dubs lepraphobia. At the meet-
ing of the American Medical associa-
tion in Atlantic City he denounced the
inhuman treatment of lepers and pro-
posed the founding of a federal lepro-
sarium.

Fortunate Cripple Dog.
Generally when a dog or other anl
mal meets with an accident someone
shoots it in order to put it out of
misery. There is a crippled dog in
Vienna which, although it has had the
misfortune to lose its hind limbs in a
street accident, has yet been “patched
up” so that- it can run about the
streets of the city. The dog’s mis-
tress, “'much-attached to her pet, had a
little cart made upon which the dog
rests his body, and then, harnessed
to the shafts of the vehicle, he is
able to “take his walk? abroad” by
trundling himself about by his fore
legs in his little cart. a is quite a
well-known figure in Vi la’s streets,
and many of the people have a kind
word and a pat on the head ready for
this most fortunate of unfortunate
crippled animals.
Early English Newspapers.
Newspaper circulations In the prov-
ince were in 1714 a. mere bagatelle.
The first two country newspapers
came from the Jacobite party, and both
belonged to coffee houses. Norwich
was first in the field with the Gazette
and next came Exeter with Joe Bliss
Exeter Post Boy. Both these papers
were given away to their coffee house
customers, and advertisements were
Inserted for nothing. Oddly enough, if
was increasing circulation that led tc
a price. In 1739, 30 years after its
foundation, the Norwich Gazette editor
announced: “This is to inform my
friends and customers that on Satur
day next this paper will be sold for :
penny, and be continued at that price;
but advertisements will still be taker
in gratis, as formerly. The reason o
my raising it to a penny is because the
number I print is too prodigious greaf
to be given away any longer, and )
hope most of my customers will not
t^iink it dear of a penny, since they
shall always have the best intelligence,
besides other diversions.”—’ ondoi
Chronicle.
r Perigord Truffles.
Gourmets throughout Europe will
be perturbed at the news that, owing
to the unusually severe weather this
year, there is likely to be a famine in
Perigord truffles. This district pro
duces truffles which can be equaled
nowhere else, except in a small area
of California, and as they grow to
perfection only in winter, the faminf
must inevitably last a long time
Many attempts have been made to
transplant Perigord truffles, but with
out success. Twenty years ago a
French savant claimed the secret oi
growing them wholesale and prophe
sied that they would be on sale at a
penny a pound instead of 16s. Noth
ing came of his experiments, although
they were financed by the Academic
des Sciences. Probably if he had
made truffles so cheap epicures would
no longer yearn for them.

T. R. Colbert.
The body of T. R. Colbert, who
died Monday afternoon, was
buried Tuesday at 1:30 p. in., the
service being held at the home,
and a large number of friends
being present. He was a mem-
ber of the school board at the
time of his death, and the school
was suspended Tuesday evening
that the other members g>f/ the
board, and such children as so
desired, might attend the funeral.
Mr. Colbert was 45 years of
age, and had lived in Lampasas
for sixteen years. Part of this
time he was a partner with J. E.
Hooper, later going into business
on his own account, and still
later taking his brother-in-law,
J. A. Blackshear, as a partner.
He was successful in all of these
undertakings, and the business
will probably be continued as it,
is.
Mr. Colbert was a member of
the Modern Woodmen of Amer-
ica and of the Maccabees lodges,
and carried insurance in each of
these orders.
He leaves,->&' vUdo'w and three
children, one sister, Mrs. J. A.
Blackshear, of this place, and
two brothers who live in eastern
Texas- All of these relatives
were present at the funeral.
Universal sympathy is extended
to all the bereaved relative.

SEVERE PKKENT
Of Mrs. Chappell, of Five Years*
Standing, Relieved hy CarduL
Mt. Airy, N. C.—Mrs. Sarah M. Chap-
pell of this town, says: “I suffered for
five years with womanly troubles, also
stomach troubles, and my punishment
was more than any one could tell.
I tried most every kind of medicine,
but none did me any good.
I read one day about Cardui, the wo-
man’s tonic, and 1 decided to try it. 1
had not taken but about six bottles until
1 was almost cured. It did me more
good than all the other medicines 1 had
fried, put together.
My friends began asking me why I
looked so well, and I told them about
Cardui. Several are now taking it.”
Do you, lady reader, suffer from any
of the ailments due to womanly trouble
such as headache, backache, sideache’
sleeplessness, and that everlastingly tired
feeling?
If so, let us urge you to give Cardui a
trial. We feel confident it will help you,
; ust as it has a million other women in
he past half century.
Begin taking Cardui to-day. You
won’t regret it. All druggists.
