STEPHAN, Proprietor CHOICE BOTTLED DRINKS, SODA W ATER, ETC. Boys Ask Dealers For Our Goods Orange, Texas, Dec. 2.—F. W. Pavell of Orange, as a boy of 15 years, attending the St. Mary uni versity of Galveston in 1884, found a medal in a puddle of water by the side of a pile of brick near the old passenger station. This was during the time of the celebration of the Galveston centennial, in which a. number of students of Texas uni versity and colleges participated. Al though Mr. Pavell advertised for the owner of the medal, no one applied for it. It was retained through the years that followed. It was among the ai'ticles found on Mr. Pavell’s premises after’, the storm of 1915, which swept over the Johnsons Bayou country. A few days ago Mr. Pavell sent it to the Texas A. and M. col lege with hope that it might reach the hand of the party who lost it 38 years ago. Today Mr. Pavell received the fol lowing letter: “You will be interested to know that I have located the owner of the medal which you were so kind to for ward to me. I am just in x’eceipt of a letter from Dr. William E. Dris- dale of Chandler, Colo., advising that the medal belongs to him. He states that the medal was lost at the state encampment in Galveston, and he was always under - the impression that it had been stolen. He is very happy to have it returned. “W. B. Bizzell, President.” ANOTHER SCIENTIFIC VICTORY WIRELESS TELEPHONE. A wireless telephone will be used tn the stage at the Big-Time Vaude ville Show, Guion Hall, Monday, Jan uary 10th, 1921. Anybody who does not fully understand the prin ciples of the wireless telephone af ter seeing it used on the stage, will be given a free demonstration after the performance. Also, any of the audience will be allowed to call up one friend. As it is anticipated that too many will want to call up friends, only a few will be lucky enough to do so. How and when these lucky few will be chosen, will be announced later in the Bulletin. FOURTEEN IMPORTANT POINTS OF RECONSTRUCTION. \ 1. That the name of Brandywifne N. Y. be changed to Coldwater. 2.

That the useless 9,000,000 white jackets and aprons in this country be sent to the starving Boi- sheviki. 10.

That any barber tantalizing a customer by using bay rum on his hair be given ten years. 13. That men with the “footrail limp” not be allowed to march in the public parades. 14.

Finn, the emminent authority on the habits of the fish tribe in lower Afghanstan, states that he has proven conclusively that the fish of that’ region have a dis tinctive evening prayer, different, al together, from any heretofore ob served. The outstanding character istic that is so radically different from the usual prayer of those found in upper Afghanstan, is the beautiful rythm of the text, and the peculiarity of the same word often repeated. It is peculiar, that the evening prayer should be the only differ’ent one, as all others, thruout the world are alike. Following is the remarkable text: • ( • ) . • ( ■ ) ■ Rub-My-Tism relieves Rheumatism, Neuralgia, Sprains. ❖ «!• * THE BULLETIN BOARD * Public Improvements John Williamson was out of town a few days last week .

MUST BE AWFUL. gHtiiiiiiniiniH An Australian dignitary was being entertained by New York society. For what seemed to be endless nights he was dragged through the intri cacies of the pigeon walk, the fox trot, the camel limp and the rest. At last came his day of departure. “Please madame,” he implored of his late hostess as they parted at the gangplank, “don’t ever come to Aus tralia.” “But, wh-wh-w’hy not?” gasped that surprised and offended lady. “Because,” answered the Austra lian, wiping his brow, I don’t want you ever to see a kangaroo at play.” —Am. Legion Weekly. Seventy-three colleges and univer sities of this country now have cor respondence courses of study. Of these, sixty-one are state institutions and twelve are privately endowed. Rub-My-Tism cures bruises, cuts, sores, tetter, etc. “Grieve not that men know not you; grieve that you know not men.” —Confucius.
