How to Look Good.
Good looks are really more than,
skin deep, depending entirely- on a
I healthy condition of all the vital or
gana. If the liver is inactive, yon
have a bilious loot; if your stomach
1 is disordered, you have a dyspeptic
lock; if your kidney* are affected, you
have a pinched look. Secure good
health, antFyou will surely have good
1 looks, "Electric Bitters” is a good
Alterative and Tonic. Acts directly
| on the stomach, liver and kidneys,
1 purifies tbe blood, cures pimples,
blotches and boils, and gives a good
; complexion. Every bottle guaranteed.

“Tea” said a young man about town,
“there ate a number of fellows in good eo

tarn for the entertainment given them by
their girl friends. You see, they don’t have

oiety fellows are so decidedly scarce. A
girl has to cudgel her brains to think up
enough nice fallows to fill out an evening

“You see the same names of young fel

Beads and Faces.
Wide, round heads and faces indicate
selfish nose, joviality and animal propen
sities; nanvw and long bsada show sober
ness and Mong character. A deep thinker
eagriee the head bent forward; a woman
capable at deep affection carries her bead
thrown well back. ,
T. B. Rice, a prominent druggist of
Greensboro, Ga.. writes as follows: “I
have bandied Dr. Pitts’ Carminative for
eight yean, and have never known of a
single instance where it failed to give per
fect satisfaction. Parties who once use it
always make permanent customers. We
sell more of thia article than all the other
Carminatives, soothing syrups and colic
drops combined.’’ For teething children

Texas School Children ow Hones.
At Manor, Tex.', in that sparsely settled
country along the line of the Houston and
Texas Central railway, I came to a large
wood colored building surrounded by a
caravan of bones. I counted upward of
60, all saddled and each hitched to a tree.
Everything about the bouse was as still as
death. “It must be a funeral,’* I said.
Suddenly tbe scene changed. Tbe doors of
the building burst open, and out broke 50
school children. “School’s out!" they
shouted, and a caravan of children scram
bled for tbe horses. In a moment the
youngsters bad mounted and wen riding
belter shelter over tbe prairie. The Texas
mustangs teemed toecenl the frolic and
kicked up their heels as they galloped
borne with tbe school children. With tbeir
dinner palls jingling on pommels of tbe
saddles, and their dresses and jackets wav
ing in the wind, they looked like a mad
caravan of Bedouins.
“How far did you come!’’ I asked a lit
tle tot who sat behind his sister on a spec
kled mustang. •
“I loom dood way—l turn”—
“Why, he’s come six miles,” interrupt
ed his sister. “Jimmy is only 5 yean old.
He doesn't know bow far be does come.”
“But I live eight miles,” said a little
Lord Fauntleroy on a dancing broncho,
“but I can ride it in an hour and have
done it in 80 giinutea ’’ Then ho spurred
Ms horse till he leaped away over the
prairie.
It is very common to see school children
wearing spun in Texas. Texas has the
richest school fund of any state in the
Union, but sbe lacks tbe children. Some
counties have as much as 560,000 laid up
for school purposes. Tbqy an just waiting
tor tbe children to grow.—Atlanta Na
