pocketless In these days of scantlness,
when four yards of double-width goods
make dress for the mod ern woman of
moderate size, there is no place for 4
pocket. One profound observer says that
the pocket has disappeared with the
petticoat. In other words, manifold
skirts afforded coy recesses for the hiding
away of voluminous pockets; now, when
petticoats are few, there is no place for the
pocket to conceal itself, and shameless in
deed would be the pocket which would as
sert itself or cape in the undraped seams of
the modern dress. True, there are chate-
LANES and there are pocket-book bags that
hang from the arm, but either of these is
more tempting to the thief than the pocket
book ciutched firmly in firm little fingers.
Before the power of custom science and
prophecy must wait. The girls are going
to carry their pocket-books in their hands
until they get ready to carry them other
wise. There are many noble executions
now to the hand-carrying majority. There
is nothing in loves young dream more
sweet than the proud consciousness of
superiority of the woman who can say TO
herself:
My pocket-boek is indeed pocket book,
and goes about in my pocket and not in my
hand

Ny friend was dressed very handsomely,
of course, and did all she could to enter

that moment the hostess whispered:
Here comes Professor Blank Very
learned man. Is professor of psychology.

Now my friend has an immense amount
of ssvoir faire, and is "up" in al, the chit
chat OF the day, but psychology is way be-

her. So after the formal introduction had
taken place, and her friend turned TO ad-
dress somebody else, she felt conversation
ally stranded. Not an idea would come to
her. The professor stood looking at her
very much as any man would gaze at

THE Tennessee legislature, now con-
vcned in special session, has deal of
hard work before it. What to do with
the cOnvicts is q veXing question that
makes life burden to the Tennessee
statesmen. BY leasing the convicts a
revenue of 100000 is brought to the
state every year. If the convicts are
not leased, this source of income is cut
off, and to supply it elsewhere the peo-
pie must submit to heavier taxation.
The labor organizations representing
the classes with which the hired con-
victs come in direct competition, and
who do not pay large amount of the
tax, demand the lease law shall be re-
pealed. The Alliance, representing
the farming class, which suffers little
or not at all by competition with con-
Wet labor, and upon which the burden
OF increased taxation will fall most
heavily, appears TO be against change
in the law. Both OF these classes have
votes They will defend their inter-
ests with these votes. The aspiring
statesman is now perspiring states
man. If he lodges the labor mems
razor he gets under the farmers blud-
geon and he can't stand still.

WEST TEXAS is nota chestnut-puller
for East Texas. 1t is all right, from
the East Texas point of view, TO keep
cheap money out Of Texas, because
West Texas pays q subsidy to East
Texas every year that enables it to dis
pense with outside capital, West Texas
is new and needs money for develop
ment. East Texas has had forty years
use OF foreign money, and has reached
its development. The men in West
Texas who want to make something out
OF their country will not follow the lead
OF East Texas to reach that end.

ternoon the justice of the peace, W. H. Dun

commenced an Investigation, the negro
being held by the sheriff in the
calaboose for safe keeping. During the
commencement of the investigation the

the meeting was that the sheriff should pro-
duce the prisoner before this court for
trial. The sheriff is assured by number
of the best citizens that he would be as
sisted in the discharge Of his duty.
