Patience and Its Rewards.

Let cheerfulness be in thy soul;
What though the dread-d thunder roll
Fear not what other people say,
Act we'll thy + .rt and all Is play.
Bind tolls and hsrdships al in one,
And ct thy wrath 20 forth in fun,
When tempted, be it great or small,
Be careful that thou d0st not fall.
Let spring and fall, b. all in all.
Therein do rs thy Mastor calls;
And all the other seasons be
The same as in these tive. Thou see.
Each day go forth with renewed zeal,
That at The close, thy work may seal;
And when at dawn Of life's early day,
10 Heaven may thy soul Ger stay!

serious injury. T. j. McFalls, who lived
about a mile east of Star City, had his
dwelling and all outhorses entirely de-
stroyed. but his family escaped. Mr..
John Young, his neighbor, lost his barns
and stables. Mr. Bailey Donaldson,
little further on, lost his dwelling. The
next point heard from was on Bayou
Bartholomew, on Mr.. John c. Hen
dricks' large plantation. who lost all his
main buildings, including two large
store houses. His large plantation is al
most a total wreck. On this plantation
three persons are known to have been
killed outright, and large number are
reported seriously wounded.
Never in the history of this part or
the state has such cyclone been
known. 1t is impossible TO give at this
writing anything like a definite account
of the damage done.
News has just reached here OF the de-
struction of several large plantations
along Bayou Bartholomew. among them
being those of ALI Cogbill, W. c. Lee,
and Judge Owens. The loss is very
great at each of these places.

The Times will also print interviews
with several well known citizens of

seen the lights. All who observed the
strange occurrence agree that the lights
disappeared in a northwesterly direction
about o'clock.
Following these statements comes a
sensational dispatch from Everest.

northwest of this city, to the effect that
the runaway airship' appeared there
shortly after o'clock. This dispatch

ing and remain there as long as his
services are needed, though he usually
gets away about four o'clock He has
an allowance of half an hour at noon
| for luncheon, but the rest of the time
belongs to his employer. He is expect.
ed to be neat in appearance, clean as
to hands and face, well hammered,
truthful at all times, prompt in obedi-
eDce and faithful in guarding the Sc
erets of his employers.
The duties first assigned to him are
to carry messages, deliver stocks at
ether brokerage offices, and obtain
checks for them After awhile he is
advanced TO making comparisons Of
sales Of stocks and taking the checks
received from other brokers to be certi-
fed at the banks.
OF late years the stock exchange
clearing house has done away with so
much of the stock delivery by boys that
the number of them On the street is
not more than half what it used TO
be, Formerly it was not uncommon
TO see from % TO 100 boys waiting in
line at each of the prominent banks
20 get checks certified, and nearly every
bank employed private policeman to
keep the boys in line and in order.
A story is told of a new boy on the
street who once went to make delivery
Of stock. When the bookkeeper made
up the accounts at the close of the day
he found himself $4,000 short, and an
examination of the books showed that
one of the boys had failed to bring
back a check in return for some stock
he had delivered.
He was perfectly innocent about the
matter, and said that he had handed the
papers in at the Office where be was sent
to make the delivery, and as they gave
him nothing he supposed there was
nothing for him to get. His employer
treated him kindly, and told him to be
careful not to make the same mistake
again. He never did. That boy is now
at the head OF one of the largest broker
age houses on Broad street.-Harper
