BY tile aid of cards, talk, a very little
reading, and two more assaults on the
basket, we got through the second day
of II Imprisonment. Each passing
hour saw my su~bjugation grow more and
more complete, and | had to keep care
full guard over my tongue for fear l
should p~rematurely betray my feelings,
and perhaps, through my impetuosity,
lose all hope. 1t was true that Mrs.
Forsyth grew more friendly and conf
dental, but she possessed n quiet though
very effective way of checking any at
tempts to digress into tenderness.
The third morning again showed no
apparent change in the outside situation.
When Hall came in he, however, APP
peared unusually cheerful.
You look as if we were going to get
out. y" | remarked.
Not yet awhile. But that frost last
night was splendid, I've got q message
this morning that the Forks Snow-shoe
club will come down early this afternoon,
with extra snow-shoes, and that any of
the men who think they can manage it
may try to get to the Forks. | suppose
you've been on shoes often y
ayes; but to tell you the truth, I'm not
particularly anxious TO get away"
Hall broke into n quiet laugh. Il

was about to demonstrate and explain,
when suddenly n brilliant idea struck
me-

something for me, and I'll be grateful all

stopped. and pulling him along. said:
Come outside; can tell you in II min
ute or two, but she mustn't hear"
On the platform confided to him my
scheme. What it was, and how it
worked, the reader will soon learn.
On my return lighted the lamp, put
on the water. and o had the simple
breakfast ready. Mrs. Forsyth did not
keep me long waiting. When she came

The senior editor of the Beacon,
disclailning any over-seusitiveness,
would gently remind tue DEMO
GRAFT STAR that we considerit poor
taste, aud perhaps a violation of
journalistic propriety, to mention
tile members Of an editors
family in the public discussions OF
a newspaper. A spirit of fun, we
think, is generally commeudable
but undue license sh ouldAdOt be
taken. Pass Christian Beacon.
We beg pardon of the BeacoH's
senior editor, but we can't accept
the disclaimer. Ayoung man who
is fast rising Tito prominence
should expect such things. Sup
pose the senior editor of the Bea-
con should suddenly take his scat
as chief at the White House, with
his stock of senshiveness he would
very soon suffer untold agony.
That is just What is the matter
with our present Chief Magistrate.
A man must uSt be so selfish as to
think be is thelonly member of his
family the public are interested in.
Seriously, BFg. Beeman, you are too
sensitive. You will get over it
when you grow older, though.

R. R.-Capt. w. II. Hardy deliver

representative men, Oh the subject
of the construction ofssthe Gulf and

heard with marked attention. He
said the idea OF reaching deep

the engineers advocate making a
channel of sufficient depth by

1t is uncertain from what point
on the Coast the channel will run.
If from Mississippi City it will be
about fifteen miles in length if
here about three miles, and

The DEMoCRAT.STAR is the pa.
per in which to insert court adver.
tisements, because 1t has the
LARGEST circulation of any other
paper in Jackson county, and be-
cause it is all print ted at home. In
other words, the DEMOCRATS STAR
is not a "patent inside" or "outside"
nor is "plate matter" used in the
makeup of the paper. Lawyers
and others who have control of
legal advertisements would do well
to bear this in mind, and govern
themselves accordingly, lest the
legality of their advertisements be
brought into question.

"Ihcre is some excitement among

TnE Board OF Supervisors Of
Harrison county, at their meeting
last Monday, memoralized Con
gress to remove tho Ship Island
quarantine station. We are glad
to see decisive steps being taken in
that direction, but it strikes us
that 1t wonld be nor effective to act
through the State Board of Health.
1t would be well for the authorities
of the three coast counties, either
the Board of Supervisors or Boards
of Health, to lay the matter before
the Boards of Health of Mississippi
aud Louisiana. The State Of Mis-.
sissippi can insist upon the removal
the Station as a matter of right,
i being on her territory. 1t was
located by the United States Ma
line Hospital Service in conjunc.
ion With the Health Boards of this
and Louisiana and those who
laced it should now remove it.
