OF Mississippi can do the work, and
as cheap as foreign printing establish

the county officers put price on their

pander to their political pull, they
punish the incorrigible scouhdrel by
letting all public printing, over which
they have control, to foreign printers.

Hopeful Words.

The venerable Allen G. Thurman,
now in the evening of long and hon.
ored life, in a speech the other night
TO the Thurman Club, Of Columbus,
Ohio, spoke as follows of the recent
defeat of the Democratic party:
SIN 1916 the Democrats were whip
ped worse than at the present time,
but this defeat was like an earthquake.
Two years ago we carried everything,
and some thought we would do the
same this year. But | became a. little
uneasy and did not advise any Of my
friends to bet. But we are bound to
beat them, and why? Because the
Democratic party is the natural party,
is the party of free institutions. I'll
be gone, perhaps, but party founded
on the principles of free government
will stand so long as that government
Is maintained. You have been in worse
places than at the present time and
come out all right, and you will come
out all right again."

HOW HE GOT IT.
What Came Of Chance Encounter and q
TrlGing Duty.
BY JANE ELLIS JOY.

II thought you was goin to make
somethin' of yourself, Abe? You got
a good schoolin', you know"
Lounging in his kitchen doorway,
Farmer Bates was watching pair Of
nimblc young hands cOnveyingasmall
pyramid of eggs, six at a time, into a
large market basket.
Abe Grayson's business was GER
tainly not very extensive or preten-
tious. He carried his stores, which
consisted of butter and eggs collected
from the neighboring farmers, to the
Dennytown market, earning a small
commission on the sales.
The boys face reddened under the
inquisitive stare of Farmer Bates, but
he did not answer or even look up
from his work. The truth is, the sub
ect was very painful one, for Abe,
in spite of appearances, was ambi-
tious. He had the American boys
Unborn craving for success, and to in
sure this, he wanted occupation that
would try his powers of mind, and call
into action his greatest and best quail
tiles. He was not in the habit OF
talking to neighbors of his discomfort
with his present employment, and few
outside his own family knew that he
was only waiting for his opportunity
"Yes," continued the oflicious neigh
Dor, still looking at Abe, II allowed

dim Johnny Edgar amt any Older

They say he gets big salary in that
insurance office in Dennytown. There
Is lots of push in johnny. Five
dozen aigs, did you say?"
"F0ur and half and five pounds O
butter" answered Abe coldly.
And then the boy recalled his ole
schoolmate and wondered, with mucl
dissatisfaction at his own fortunes
how John Edgar had managed to sue
coed. He believed that he was as-wel
qualified as his friend, and he knew
that he was as conscentiou
and as painstaking. Yet whel
he applied for positions that wer'
promising he was usually told t.
await," and reminded of the grea
over-supply Of young clerks and book
Keepers. He was now Is years old
had graduated with honors at the hig
school and was eager to begin to carv
his fortunes.
"All right" said Mr.. Bates, think
ing it was very stupid Of Abe to hay
nothing to say on his own behalf
"It's handy to have the algs taken Of
our hands, and l must say you sell 'er
{ to advantage. Fetch me plug OF II
bacco back from Dennytown, and
guess Mrs. Bates wants a paper
sorted needles"

Woman's Suffrage and Woman 6
Brain.
,Scifuf;nc 4 uaerklur

t>cient;6c Amcrtonr.
The present very active and cnllght-
eninc agitation over the question o.
woman's suffrage calls up again the
many now established facts about the
physiological differences in the ner-
vous system OF the sexes. Not very
long ago, Sir James Crichton Brown
delivered a series Of lectures in which
he aimed to show. from actual data,
that the brain. Of women were not on
" relatively smaller, but essentially
different in structural arrangement and
functional characteristics from those
of men, He in particular showed that
the vertebral arteries in women are
larger in proportion to the carOtids than
they are In men and that the cerebel-
lum and po-tcriOr parts OF the
Drain were therefore more llot!liSilc'i
proportiOnateiv The brain Of woman
is four per cent smaller than that OF
man after deducting the factors Of
height ana weight Oebierre), and wo-
mans brain. as soon as it reaches its
apOgee. Immediately begins to decline
in weight, 50 that Sen'le atrophy is man
Tested sooner han in man.
There is no doubt, we believe, in the
minds Of PSYCHOLOGISTS that the mental
characteristics OF women have a struct-
ural basis in the conformation and
amount of her nervous tissues, and
that no amount OF training will make
the male and female brain alike
OF course, all this does not in the
least prove that wOman's mind is not
apdapted to the demands of suffrage,
or of political, jury, and militia duty.
1t only shows that the result of confer
ring suffrage cannot be positively pre-
dicted either one way or the other,
since it would be injecting into our
political system an entirely new fac
tor.
We admire the eloquence and are al
fected by the enthusiasm of the agita-
tors for and against suffrage. But we
have little faith in those who assure us
that it would surely be blessing-or a
curse-if women went to the polls and
sat in the jury box. 1t is an expert
ment which may or may not turn out
wisely -Ned Record.
