his horse he was Incensed at paying

LYCEUM COURSE SECURED
Attractions Will Be Given Under
Auspices of Dallas College and
Company H.
Dr. C. A. Mock returned from Port
land, Tuesday evening, where he com
pleted arrangements for the Lyceum
Entertainment Course to be held in
Dallas this winter. The first number
in the course, the famous lecture of
Thomas R. Hopkins, of Chicago, on
"The Golden Fleece" will be given at
Woodman Hall, Saturday evening,
October 17.
The course given last year did not
prove entirely satisfactory to the peo
ple of Dallas nor the faculty of the
college, under whose auspices it was
given, and Dr. Mock refused to enter
into a contract this year until he had
gone to Portland, seen the manager in
person and secured from him an
agreement that every number in the
course should be given exactly as
scheduled and in case of failure to
fulfill this agreement, the manager of
the course should make himself
personally responsible for the loss.
The course will be put on this year
under the auspices of both Dallas Col
lege and Company H., O. N. G. and
these two institutions are to divide the
proceeds.
Other numbers in the course which
will follow Mr. Hopkins lecture are
the entertainments by Germain, the
world famous magician, the Dunbar
Bell Ringers, a lecture by George R.
Greene, of Boston, on "The Gospel of
Discontent," and a musical entertain
ment by aoompany of skilled singers.
The cost of course tickets will be $2.50
and tickets to single entertainments,
76 cents.

The Royal Month and Royal Disease.
Sudden changes of weather are es
pecially trying, and probably to none
more so than to the scrofulous and
consumptive. Tbe progress of scrof
ula during a normal October is com
monly great We neverthink of scrof
ulaits bunches, cutaneous eruptions
and wasting of the bodily substance
without thinking of tbe great good
many sufferers from it have derived
from Hood's Sarsaparilla, whose rad
ical and permanent cures of this one
disease are enough to make it the most
famous medicine in the world. There
is probably not a city or town where
Hood's Sarsaparilla has not proved
Its merit in more homes than one, in
arresting and completely eradicating
scrofula, which Is almost as serious
and as much to be feared as its near
relative consumption.

Hams and Bacon
WISE TALKS BY U. S. LOUGHARYS'
OFFICE BOY
A fellow up In Chicago who admits
to the name of J. Ham Lewis, recently
came out and said that n woman
doesn't know tbe value of an oath.
Now I see that he denies having
alluded to woman in the general sense ;
he says he meant some women, but
not all women. That was a very wise
hedge on Mr. J. Ham's part, because
had he made his remark so sweeping
as he was first reported he might have
had more direct evidence to the con
trary than he could ute in his busi
ness. I understand that Mr. J. Ham
is a lawyer and that be is not con
nected with tbe stock-yards in any
way. Well, whatever his calling, he
can go out and lay bets on one thing ;
viz, that a woman knows tbe value of
good ham and bacon aod she can teli
the other kind. Oregon hams are
sold in tbe East and Eastern hams
are sold in the West but there's more
smoked meat comes out of Armour
dale, Kansas, than all of Oregon and
to give those fellows their due they
know how to raise corn, fatten hogs
and smoke bams. And we know how
to boil them and put tbe wafer edge
on your ham or bacon, so never mind
where it's raised so long as It's right.
Hams are lower.
