A MESSAGE FROM THE GALE.
Listening on the Ice Eloe to the Roar OF
the Coming Storm.

Listening on the Ice Eloe to the Roar OF
the Coming storm.
When the swell is heavy in the ice
pack, it is often very difficult to ascer-
tain from which direction it comes, and
just as difficult as it is, just so impor-
tant may it be that it should be found
out rightly, as the safety Of the ship
might wholly depend upon correct judg
ment as to this When the huge ice
masses begin to move and screw and
press on the sides Of the vessel, rising
and falling in heavy swell, then there
Is only one escape-namely, TO work the
vessel into the fields away from the side
from which the gale blows. A mistake
as to the direction Of the running swell
has often proved fatal, and the mistake
is easily made.
An old arctic sealer told me how in
hours Of dread in the arctic icepack he
had laid his ear down to the ice foe and
listened to the roar Of the coming swell
that terrible message from the furious
gale-and how he thus had discovered
whence the gale was pressing and had
been able to save the ship from destruc-
ton. l tried his method and found that
1t worked admirably. What is we'll
worth noticing is that open water nearly
always is to be found in the ice pack on
one side Of icebergs. The icebergs that
we met were generally in motion, car
ried onward by the ruling current. Of
ten they ran forward in the icetields at
a speed Of several knots, piling up the
huge foes before their cold, glittering
bows, but behind them they left an open
sheet Of water large enough for any ship
Now. there would Of course be many
dangers for vessel tugged along in the
ice pack by such floating monster, but
l believe nevertheless that this method
might be instrumental in saving a YES
sci from being crushed when the icefieId

AN ANGEL IN DISGUISE,


The proprietor Of a large store ON
High street went to his place of BUSH
ness at an unusually early hour the 9TH
er morning. In fact, the sun had not vet
risen when he turned the key in the
door. On entering he was surprised to
lind a man trying to open the door Of
his safe.
He stood and watched him for some
time. apparently deeply interested in the
proceedings, when finally the burglar
swung open the door Of the safe with q
delighted chuckle, but happening to
turn he saw that he was discovered and
became very much alarmed. He jumped
up and was about to make his escape
through back window when the mer.
chant called to him:
Don't be in a hurry, my friend.
Come back and sit down awhile and
smoke cigar while straighten things
up bit, and then come home to break
fast with me. You have done me a great
favor

glar In great surprise.

THE FEDERAL CONSTITUTION,
General Harrison Explains Hov II w.
Made by the People,

| 0onera1 Harrison Explaina HOV II W.
| Ma<e by the People.
Ex-President Harrison's paper in The
Ladies' Home Journal Of "This Conn,

sively OF the constitution and its appli-
cation and operation. defining the in.
strument. its scope and limitations
clearly. "The word Constitution. >" be
writes, las used among US implies a
written instrument, but in Engla il
is used to describe governmental sys-
tenn or organization made up Of charters
las the Magma Charta-the general
acts Of parliament and body Of long
established legal usages or customs
These are not compiled in any single in
strument as with US. but are to be
sought in many places.
The common American usage in
making state constitution is to elect
by popular vote delegates to q conven-
ton, whose duty it is to prepare plan
Of government When the delegates
have agreed and have properly certified
the instrument, it is submitted TO di-
rect vote Of the people, and each voter
casts q ballot Fer the constitution or
Against the constitution. II majority
vote for the constitution, il then be-
comes the paramount law Of the state.
The legislature does not make the con.
stitution; the constitution makes the
legislature. The American idea is that
constitutions proceed from the people in
the exercise Of their natural right Of self
government and can only be amended
or superseded by the people. Whatever
one legislature or congress enacts the
next one may repeal, but neither can no
peal or infringe q Constitutional provi.
sion.
THE delegates to the convention that
framed the constitution Of the United
States were not, however, chosen BY q
popular vote in the states, but by the
legislatures. Nor was the question Of
the adoption Of the constitution submit
ted In the states to direct popular
vote. 80 There have been Is amend
ments to the constitution adopted. Ten
Of these were proposed to the legisla-
lures Of the states by the First congress
and ratified. The other five amendments
have in like manner been submitted by
congress to the state legislatures for rat
iication, conventions in the states not
having been used in any case. 1t will be
noticed also that the vote upon the
adoption of the constitution and upon
amendments thereto is BY states, each
state, without regard to its popu laticn,
having one vote. But while these provi-
sions make the popular control less di-
rect than is usual in the states and nee
essarily recognize the states in the proc
ess Of making and amending the cons.i-
tuition, the idea that constitutions pro.
coed from the people is not lost -

Remarkable Treatment Of Convict b.
Governor Hob stewart.
Governor Bob Stewart, who was the
chief executive of Missouri once and aft.
srward United States senator from tina,
state, had u strange career.
During his gubernatorial incumbency
he was one day looking through the
penitentiary at Jefferson City when he
saw among the convicts an aged man
whom he recognized. On the following
day he sent to the warden Of the prison
orders to have that man brought to the
executive mansion.
| When the man appeared, the govern.
or. calling him by name. asked him II
he hadn once been the mate Of Mis-
souri, river steamboat. The convict ad.
mitted that he had been, and then the
following conversation ensued, tho gov
ernor beginning:
do you remember ut one time Of
having taken blankets away from boy
who was a stowaway ON the boat and
kicking him ashore?''
The circumstance doesn't recur to
me now. but doubtless l did Ii. A
steamboat mate in those days had to be

Eyes. sir. and you filed the bill I'D. ,

kicked ashore very near to this capital
city. and thus became enabled to give
you your pardon. Here. sir. take it.

WHAT BECOMES OF OLD WHEELS,


Have you ever wondered what has
become Of the thousands Of old solid
tire wheels that were in such universal
use before pneumatics revolutionissd
things? A reporter put the question to a
dealer the other day.
IA few were converted into pneu-
MATES and cushions and are still ON the
streets" he said. land some were taken
by the dealers as part payment on new
machines, and are still slowed away in
their shops, there being no sale for solid
tires. The secondhand dealers and re-
pairers bought great many Of them mp.
dissected them, SO to speak. and are now
utilizing the parts in repair work. Tho
balls, hubs, spokes. axles, bolts and nuts
are all useful. and at the last the old
frames and rims can be broken up and
sold as scrap iron.
Some have gore to the country, and
Josh Hayseed may be seen complacently
pedaling down to the mill for bag Of
corn. Machinists use them for making
models, occasionally pushcart will be
seen mounted on two rusty old wheels,
and even the boys ON the street take the
small wheels for the making of express
wagons. And the balance, l suppose,
you'll find slowed away in the cellars
and wood sheds Of their possessors. Once
true and stanch friends. they are now Of
no use in the world Abandoned to cob
webs and ashes. with no company but
rats and mice. they dream away their
few remaining days. Once again they
stand in full suit Of gittering nickel.
admired, caressed and praised by all be-
holders Again they are ON the road,
bearing their masters in safety down
long rough hills and through sand and
mud. Once again they see the smooth,
bard track respond to the efforts Of the
riders as they throw every ounce Of eff
fort into the last sprint. and hear the
shouts Of the excited crowds as they
whiz across the tape. Abandoned and
alone. eating out their hearts with rust,
they gradually drop to pieces, too proud
Of their vanished prestige to give one
thought of envy to the modern pneu-
matte. "-Washington Star.

Notice is hereby giventhat the Teach
ers Institute for NoXubee County Will
begin Aug, "a instead of Aug 9rd as
heretofore advertised.
The conductors, Professor ) + wal
ker and w j Taylor, are both men OF
experience and ability, and association
with them will be an educational upllft
to our county teachers. have benin
formed by Supt. Kincannon that the
fall examinations will be based upon the
work outlined in the Institute Syllabus
1t therefore behooves every teacher to
thoroughly master the syllabus. In or
der that this may be successfully done,
they should study the syllabus carefully
before coming to the institute so that all
difficult parts may be located. These,
then, may be called for and explained
in the institute. With a thorough I'M
derstanding of all the principles outlined
in the syllabus, no teachers should haye
any trouble in passing the fall examlna-
tions. Therefore, let me insist that ey-
cry teacher be on hand promptly Mon
day morning, prepared to stay until
Friday evening. By so doing you will
yourselves receive inspiration and also
inspire your conductors.
Respectfully,
NJ THOMAS,
Co. Supt Ed.
