Corinth Miss Record: Not only has 1t a
single case of yellow fever, or anything re-
seinbhng it, made its appearance in our
midst, but all other diseases seem to have
taken their departure, and Corinth now pre-

not surpassed in any town in the State.

WHAT TO DO WITH TRAMPS.

How to Utilize NuIsances.
New York Graphic.l
This is the only enlightened
country on earth where able-bodied
tramps are permitted to straggle
over the land living on the savings
of the industrious. In other coun-
tries all sturdy beggars are set at
work for the State, county or the
city where they are found. In fo--
eign capitals the eye is greeted with
long lines of these parasites with
an oyerseer, cleaning the streets,
building sewers, cutting roads and
taking care Of public property.
The spectacle may shock an
American at first, especiallyif some
who have added criminality to beg
gary should appear attached to a
restraining ball and chain; but the
general influence of the habit is
wholesome. An able-bodied person
has no right to live on his fellow
men, and if he will not work vol
unfairly he should be compelled to
do so. Every State in the Union
ought to empower its town officers
to arrest all beggars and put them
to work for the benefit of the COM
munity. All the roads In the coun-
try might be kept in fine condition
by the enforced labor of tramps,
who now use them to so little pur-
pose.
The world owes no man living.
1t doesn't "owe" him even a coffin,
though it may provide him with
one for sweet charity's sake. Every
man owes the world more-vastly
more-than he will ever pay, though
he devote himself to its service till
his life's end. Baltimore is holding
meetings to decide what Maryland
ought to do with its tramps. Ii
ought to arrest them and set then
to work. This country offers labor
to all who will do it, and the indus
Thousand frugalought to be relieved
of the support of loafers who follow
mendicancy as a profession.

Constantinople; but the whole sur
face Of the hills is literally riddled
with holes large enough to bury
.horses in, and all about lie great
unexploded shells. Even away back
IN the rayines where the soldiers
hutS are, bullets, fragments of
clothing and equipments cover the
ground; and one frequently finds in
the most unexpected spots long un-
buried bodies, OF sodden in the path
one sees the limbs of human beings
who fell and were left there until
many feet passing trod hard the
thin layer of earth over them.

A mean Oovington, KY, grocer
was nicely sold at Christmas. lie
purchased from g dollar store a table
castor, which he marked with a tag
inscribed "$14," and gave it to a
Methodist preacher, whose church
his family attended. The reverend
gentleman next day brought the
castor back to the groceryman and
said to him: 81 am too poor in this
worlds goods to afford to display SO
valuable a castor on my table, and

Like to return it and take s14 worth
of groceries for my family in its

In the redoubts which the Rus

the whole ridge of the wooded

Skobeleff on September goth, are
strewn thickly with the corpSes of
the Russians who fell on those days.
Some Of these bodies have been
partly covered with four spadesful
Of dirt, but most of them lie as
they fell. Not all as they fell, for
the dogs have torn away The limbs
of many, and the birds of prey have
pecked at the skulls. In the pools
of water lie corpses half decayed ;
pale, wIthered hands and feet stick
ont of the soil on all sides, and hor-
rible dead, mummi6ed faces stare
at one from every little hollow in
the ground, and from among every

THIS Company is purely mutual. not hav-

is therefore in effect, simple partnership Of
persons for insuring each others lives, There
being no stock. there can be no sale Of the
Company from one set of owners and man
ayers TO another; but its affairs remain per-
petually in the entire control Of the members
themselves, to elect board Of twelve direc-
tors each wear. This board meets weekly,
and directly supervises all the business Of the
Company.
The Company issues whole life policies with
either annual premiums for life, which il pre-
ters and recommends. or with a limited num-
Der Of premiums; 1t will also issue lOng-term
endOWments. Experience has shown that
these are the most advantageous forms Of pol-
icies, both to the individual and to the Com
pany We shal, therefore, restrict ourselves
to them. I.II
The surplus earned in any year is returned
20 the following year, only by reduction OF
premium, thus limiting the payments to the
actual current cost Of the insurance.
In thirty years, this association OF men,
united in interests and purposes, as q single
