Too Stingy to Take i* Paper ( .The picture given below may be 3 illghtly overdrawn, but it points a 1 noral: 1 "Once upon a time a farmer who 1 ?ras too economical to take a news- 1 >aper aent his little boy to borrow 1 he paper taken by hia neighbor. In 1 lis haate the boy ran over a beehive 1 tnd in ten minutes looked like a watery summer squash. His cries 1 reached hia father who ran to Ula 1 lasistance, and, falling to see a bar bed wire fence, ran Into it. break ing It down and cutting a handful of flesb from hia anatomy and ruin ing a $5 pair or trousers. The old cow took advantage of the gap in the fence, got into the cornfield and killed herself eating green corn. Hearing the racket, his wife rau, upsetting a four-gallon churn of rich cream Into basket of kittens, drowning the whole flock. In her hurry sbe dropped and broke h *et of $7 false teeth. The baby left aHone, crawled through the split cream into the parlor and mined a $25 carpet. During the excitement the oldest daughter ran away with the hired man, the calves got out and the dog broke up ten setting hens." And the moral of It all Is that vou should not try to practice an econo my that is not practical. And tt Is not practical to sponge on the bar ber and the restaurant keeper for his newspaper.

FROST, COTTON" AND PELLAGRA Summarising its correspondent* ?eporta on the cotton crop for last nonths, the New Orleans T.mea Democrat finds that over tbe belt an t whole there has been moderate de erloration; that the boll weevil haa lone great damage in rortaln dis tricts of Arkansas, Isoulsiaua and Mississippi: that while farmera leeiu disposed to meet the market belief In high prices ia strong and may lead to a general holding move ment later on. Bat the great factor in the situ* alion aa the Times-Democrat sees' It and as It undoubtedly exists is the danger from frost to a crop very a;>otted and very late. "A premature frost " says out I contemporary. "won*ld be disastrous, snd even a normal one would great ly ahorten the yield " We recall that the average date of the first killing frost In the upper belt, including large parta of Alaba ma. Mississippi, Louisiana and Tex as. Is November 4. That no severe frost will come very much before that time is. for the reason given, greatly to be hop ed. Cold weather would end the nuis ance of mosquitoee and flies and wotfld also mark the termination of another pellagra year?this dead ly disease belongs to warm weather almost entirely ao far aa its un?in worst manifestations are concerned.

Crlppen entered into nn animated whispered conversation with hU counsel, Arthur Newton as soon as they took their seats. Dr. B.

He testi fied that he had made a microscopic examination of the remains found in the cellar of the Crlppen home.
