Plain Talk to His Lordship.

A venerable and pompous English
Bishop was having his portrait painted
by an eminent artist. After sitting steady
for an hour in silence, the churchman
thought he would break the monotony
with a remark.
How are you getting along ?" he in
quired.
To the astonishment of the Bishop the
knight OF the palette, absorbed in his
work, replied:
Move your head little to the right
and shut your mouth"
Not being accustomed to such form of
address, his lordship said:
May L ask you why you address me
in this manner?'
The artist, still absorbed in his work,
said: II want to take off little of your
cheek"
The Bishop collapsed.

MYSTERIOUS DEATH.

A Chfnawoman Supposed to Have
Died of Poison.
Yesterday afternoon Coroner Clark was
notified that Chinawoman had been
found dead in building at Fifth and |
streets about 9 O'Clock in the morning,
and the body was removed to the Morgue.
Its appearance was such as to lead to the
belief that the woman's death was the re-
suit OF poison.
There are various theories afioat con-
corning the Woman's death, but as she
was alive on the preceding night the pol
son theory seems to lit the case, as there
are no evidences of violence.
The deceased was one Of the class who
are kept in slavery for immoral purposes,
and 1t is said she was about to purchase
her freedom. having laid up money
enough for that purpose. The man who
is supposed to have owned her, and who
was seen with her on Tuesday night, was
said to have disappeared yesterday.

He is still in active ministerial service, is
able to ride long distances on horseback,
and three weeks ago, at revival meet
ing at Rogersville, Tenn, led thirty souls
TO Christ. He is well preserved and very
jealous. His name is a household word

The Cuckoo In Bible Times.

We are not at all surprised that Con-

chapter XII, 1916: 'And these are they
which ye shall have in abomination
among the fowls: The cuckoo and the
hawk after his kind" And the political
cuckoo is just as abominable to Demo-
Gratis to-day as they were in the days of

Every day demonstrates the fact
more clearly that no man can farm
successfully and profitably without
absolute control of labors and til 2 only
way to obtain this control is for wages
by the year, and payable out of the
crop raised by the labor. Wages for
half the year and cotton picked by the
hundred will never pay neither will
day labor it comes too high. A labor
err should pick as much cotton under
this system as by the hundred, either
way is but days work. Labor has
had the long end of the rope long
enough in bankrupting the country
it but sends a bouirerang to hunt
itself. ANY progressive farmer can
find work every day throughout the
year for all the labor his farm requires
and by this system he can get out of
labor allit Is worth. 1t is true he
will be forced to be with it all the time
and there is where he should be like
cthor men in other calling who are
successfully or quit trying to farm,
This-was necessary during the day of
slavery when punishment for idleness
kept labor in more wholesome moo
how much more necessary now when
presence is the only coercion.
