new one. many of which be thinks will

ogdoches. He further stated that
Sour Lake Is the biggest proposition
in the way of an oil field In Texas, and
he thought that Its future was as-
sured. Asked why he had no Inter-
ests here Mr. Fagin stated that he did
not get Into the field In time to make
a purchase of a large tract «ltd that HT
did not care to be worried with the
smaller ones. ¡

minute or two, when It was. shut off.
It Is estimated that the output will be
about 3000 barrels per day. Messrs.
Griffin and Bass, who are at the head
of this company, are very well pleased
wtth their first well, and will drill sev-1
era! jspre as rapidly as possible.
Mr. George Graves of Houston Is

lands, which he will develop on bis
own account. Mr. Graves is at the

milk route. He well says that a neg-
lected case of typhoid, such gs that
which occurred at one of the Portu-
guese dairies near Palo Alto might
poison half a city before becómlng
known to any physician or board of
health. Accordingly, he declares, the
local health officers have not been to
blame.
The lesson of this fever outbreak at
Palo Alto should not pass unheeded.
It shows the Importance of strict and
frequent sanitary Inspection of dairies
and particular the most scrupulous
oae at such places to prevent contam-
ination of the water supply by drain-
age from houses, ^aak yards, cesspools
or other possible sources of typhoid
germs. The Ignorance, filth or crim-
inal Indifference of any dairy proprie-
tor thay Inflict cruel suffering and
death upon large numbers of milk con
sumers. Milk is one of the most com-
mon sources of typhoid, but often a ty-
phoid epidemic is traceable to Infec-
tion of the water used for drinking
purposes, as at Cornell university and
the town"of tthaca, New York, where
the disease was recently prevalent.
Typhoid ' properly classed as a
"filth" disease and as strictly "pre-
ventable" by proper sanitation. Were
It-not for Ignorance and criminal care-,
lessness, the disease could almost be
banished or at least made exceedingly
rare. It never.orlglnatesviipontaneous-
ly, but Is always the result of contam-

BARBER WHO WAS KING.
When He Began to Tell About It Cue-
tomers Pled.
Washington %pt.
A queer rennniscentlal gleam crept
Into the eyes of the barber with the
long, low, rakish forehead, as he sud-
denly rested his razor hand while
shaving the Adam's apple of the lean
and nervouslobklng man In the chair.
"I was King Louis XIV of France
last night," said the barber suddenly.
The razor was still poised about half
an Inch above the lean customer's Ad-
am's apple.
The customer blinked and breathed
hard. The shaved side of bis face be-
came nearly as white as the still lath-
< red other side.
"Walt a minute," he said placing a
shakleg hand on the barber'B shaving
arm.
He sat up straight In the chair with
a wild look and then made a bolt for
the door.
"Wow!" he yelled as he went. "What
an escape! King Louis XIV! Bug-
hetuse! He wouldn't have done a thing
to me—r" and with the towel streaming
in the "breeze, and one side of his face
still lathered, he loped down the
street.
The barber with the long, low, rak-
ish forehead went to the door and
stared after the galloping customer
with amazement.
"Well I'll be ded-blnged!" muttered
the barber. "Now. what kind of cogs
hBs that fellow got In his coco? 1 was
only trying to tell him that I waa
King Louis XIV at the barbers' mas-
querade ball lest night, and look at
him goln' after Salvator's mile re-
cord!"

How Do You Say Golf?
A Scotch golfer who - played the
game at St. Andrews In 1838, before
the era of railway® and long before
the English took up the game, writes
to the Times about the English mls-
pronounciatlon of Jhe national game,
which he says distresses him.
He goes on to say that among gen-
tlemen who have been in England or
India and free from pronounced Scot-
tish accent, the game was called
"gowf." The phrase, "folk play gofe,"
gofe rymlng with loaf, and by the cad-
dies, "fowk play gowf." TEere was a*
third pronunciation, but It was an ef-
fectatlon—goff.
Those who so pronounced It were
supposed to speak high English, avoid-
ing the broad pronunciation of thelet-
ter "a," so prevalent among the Scotch
and substituting "e." For "e" they
used short "I," as for Instance, "heff-
pest sivin," for half past seven.
The Scotch golfer continues: "This
particular dialect was greatly admired
by my fellow countrymen. It. was
known to them as Edinburgh English,
but even these did not sound the "1"
in golf. Could they have seen what
the actual future mispronunciation
of the English upon taking up the
game would have been, with what Joy
they would have called It "galf." It
would have seemed to them "so Eng-
lish."
-The writer then quotes the rule, that
"1" béfore "f." 'k" and "m" is silent
If the preceding vowel Is 'e," "1" or
"u.'*—New York Sun.

President Jordan haa Issued a long
statement, giving an Instructive his-
tory of the, epidemic, and declares that
all caaea have been traced ao the use
of Inleoted milk from one or other of
two dalrlea, In the neighborhood of

dalrlea were kept by Portuguese. In-
vestigation showed there had been ty-
phoid fever at both. At each the wa-
ter In which milk osi^s were w#*bed
and poaalbly uaed to dilute the milk,
waa contaminated by excreta of a ty-
phod fever patlen, through groas neg-
lect and unoleanllneaa.
About 120 cases of typhoid have oc-
curred among the atudenta, of which
eight preved fatal. There fctve been

CLERGYMAN PEDDLES SERMONS.
He Makes a Big Profit at Novel Syn-
dicating Buaineat-
Philadelphia Record.
"An English clergyman makes a bus-
Incss of syndicating sermons," said a
drummer who had Just returned from
London.
"How do you mean?" some one ask-
ed. i
"Why," explained the drummer, the
clergyman writes a sermon, and then
he prlnta-about forty or fifty copies of j
It. He offers to one preacher In each ¡
of 40 or B0 towns the exclusive use j
in his town of his production. The |
price of the sermon to each man Is on- j
ly five shillings, but If 15 or 20 men j
take it It brings In to the syndlcator. j
you see, about 109 shillings. And sine:
the sermons are so short that one can
be done in a morning, that i« pretty j
good pay. The syndlcator advertises J
his sermons in a religious paper. The
notICo reads:
" "A clergyman of experience and j
moderate vlewB. who distinguished
himself during his university course
in divinity and English composition,
will furnish original sermons, in strict
accordance with the Church of Eng-
land, In good print, at 5 shillings each
Only one copy will be given In any dio-
cese, A specimen will be sent If
wished for, Sermons made to order
on any required subject, on reasonable

Hold the book with its back on a

open a few leaves at the back, then a

opening back and front, gently press-
ing open the sections until you reach
the crater of the volume. Do this two
or three times and you will obtain the
best results. Open the volume vio-

and you will likely break the back and
cause a sta,rt in the leaves. Kever

"A connoissuer many years ago, an
excellent customer of mine, who
thought he knew perfectly how to han-
dle books, came into my office when
I had an expensive binding just
brought from the bindery reedy to be
sent home; he, before my eyes, took
hold of the volume and -tightly hold-

of allowing them free play, violently i
opened it In the center and exclaimed:
