When constipation is having its evil effects on your bodj and brain, nature is doing her best to offset them and overcome the cause itself. But usually nature cannot do this unaided.

For some people Calomel doe.- appear to give a temporary benefit, bul as a matter of fact it is a poison that proves to ho injurious and even dangerous to many. If you have ever taken calo mel you piebalds have suffered from evil conditions following its use.

C.-Dear Uncle: With memory and hope eliminated, this life would hold out hut little to us. Memory enables us to live In the past, hope ia the future. What gives us continuous pleasure that we .have lived ls that we will join loved ones gone before and live with them In eternity's future. Therefore, from these we gather most of the pleas ures of this life- especially of old age. When memory carries us back to our boyhood days and we review our lives to the present, we involun tarily conclude that there ls a Des tiny thal shapes, without even any rough-hewing on our part. The il lustration or comparison may be in elegant, but I am persuaded that we have as little to do. as to the general course of our lives, as the swiftly floating log on the swollen stream has to do with its starting, or can have to do as to when or where it may stop. Tiles?? thoughts are suggested by the letter of ocr old friend, W. P. Mauldln, to you. recently published in The Courier. He bas been lust to nie since November, 1858. When memory takes nie back to the years 18?7-.\8, and to Bounty Hand, when and where I first met Hilly Maultlin. I well remember that I was then as thoughtless of the future as the log which waited for the flood to rise and hear it away. It was then ami there that Mr. Penny taught us reatlin' riting' anti "rlthmetic." Then and lhere we played and loved, hat never thought. As 1 now re member, there were usually about .'>.*> pupils in attendance-a happy family, as it were consisting of boys and giri* ranging in age from about eight io perhaps 2 1 years. Of them 1 can now nanu? you. Uncles Tom and Stiles Dendy: Doc, Short and Pd Johnson; Will. .lack, Neal, P.ettie. Toni Handy, .lim and Dave Stribllng; .lohn.

Jim H. and Beck Doyle, Mat and Sue Alexander -16! The most of those named 1 never met after we separated at Bounty Land on the last Friday In November, 1858. Oh, time, with what power and rapidity thou dost work! Jane Myers. Pilen Hamuy and Jim and I were In a class to ourselves during the two years. Early in Jan uary. IS58, Mr. Penny starte.) us to studying the multiplication table, and we recited it every morning for five mouths, anti all of us missed some part of it every time. In fact, we iliil not learn it during the entire ten months. Mr. Penny's worry over our :ii success reminds me of Mr. Jordan teaching Dave Murry the al phabet, as told me by Mr. Jordan, who taught school In this county long years ago. He said Dave could not learn the letter ' 0." Ile told Dave one Friday evening that he must learn that letter by Monday morning, and Dave said he would 1 ave i: all right hy that time. When Monday morning came Dave went down the line nicely till he got to "O'*, when lie headed up as usual. "Well, Dave" saitl Jordan, "I thought you were going *o know that letter this norning." "I thought SO, too." replied Dave, "bul I don't." To in.licate or suggest, Jordan said; "Well. Dave, what do you say when you -itump your toe?" "I don't say not bin ." answered Dave. "Yes, you do. You say 0, don't you?" "No, sir. I don't," said Dave. "I say .ouch'." So Mr. J. could not lead Dave lo say "O." nor could Mr. Pen ny lead or drive us to learn thc mul tiplication table. lt may bc astonishing to '.achers of this age to know that Mr. Penny j required our quartette io commit to ? memory every rule in Smiley's arith ;n ti from addition to cube root he ore he would let us begin to "ci pher." These lessons followed im i mediately our multiplication roQltn I Hon. We tlid not try it, hut I know thal on the morning we recited the i ule of cube root, none of us could have repeated the rule of simple ad dition. I understand that the rules of teaching have changed some dur ing those ">f> years. Jane Myers married Jasper Hughes ami came to Parker county, Texas, about 12 years ago. Soon af ter that 1 "drifted" from Hood to Limestone county, and thereby lost Jap anti Jane. I never saw or heard of Ellen Uamby since we parted at Bount" Land. All the bv/3 thought that Bettie Stribling was the pretti est girl who ever went to Bounty Land, and I thought so more than any of them. Tho boys who were old enough went to the war: some were killed, some died and many were wounded. Tom Lowery, Jim and l went to the army In February, 1864, and joined the sam?' com pany to which Neal and Dave Strih iing, Jim Mauldin and Bill Penny belonged. Thus wo were thrown to gether again amid dangers and hard ships which hound us with ties mindi stronger than the pleasures ol Boun ty Land. Jim was slightly wounded in May, Tom Lowery was killed In .lune and I was captured ll) Septem ber. 1864. The others got out whole. When I "floated" to Texas In ISO? I lound George W. Abbott in Hood county. Hood was then a frontier county, and the Comanches would come in every "light ol the moon" to steal horses. lt was lu 1SI?). I think, thal a raiding party Of nine Indians was killed 12 miles southwest of where Cranbury now is. The last one of the number killed proved to be a female some 18 or 20 years old. When all the others were killed she cann' out from the bluff into the open and handled the bow and arrow with as much dexterity and earnestness as a man till six was killed. The wiseacres present said sin- was a prim ess. as her attire was superior to that of the average squaw, and in addition she wore rath'T costly beaded wristlets and anklets and beadell moccasins. In those days George Abbott was a line specimen of physical manhood, : and he could "cus.-" with as much eloquence as Cen. Cary. was as natural for Cen. Car;, to "cuss" when the Yankee bullets began to whistle around as it is for sparks to fly upward. George has been successful 'in lili- and he discontinued his elo ' quenco years .ago. In 1ST I two very pretty and lovo I ly sisters lived about five miles from where George and 1 (lid. and in the halcyon days of August of that year . we went to see them 21 days in suc cession. I think the sisters enjoyed j our protracted or continuous calling, and 1 know we did; hut that "des I tiny" got in its work and Zane and i Nan found other-and, I hope, bet i ter-men for husbands. I That float lng process, directed hy predestination, separated .lim and ?nie tun miles about ll years ago.
