Special Correspondence Of The Leader
JACKSON, MISS, June 14.-The

ing business to a certain extent.
The commencementS this year
were beld jointly the Same week
thus enabling pupils of both to at
tend the EXERCISES at the other.
The schools are very closely related
for more reasons than one. While
non, ,secta:ian both are under the
management of prominent Method
lists; DIR. Fitzhugh, president of
Belhaven, Is father.in.law of DR..
Murrah, president of Millsaps,
while still another daughter of the
Belhaven president is the wife of
Prof. Hammer, of MillSaps.
On Sunday morning Dir. j. j. III
CERT, a very distinguished minis,
ter of Nashville, preached the com
mencement sermon for Millsaps,
and the same night performed a
similar service for Belhaven. On
Tuesday DR.. G. Alfonso Smith, of
the University of Louisiana, deliv
ereG the annual address for Mill
saps OH Wednesday DIR. w. I.
Boiling did the same for Belhaven.
Both were magnificent samples of
oratory and were most delightfully."-
received by large and intelligent
audiences.
Three very prominent young
couples were married here this
week and Jackson has lost three of
her most charming young ladies.
On Wednesday night Miss Halle

From Australia has come the most re-

Tho only way in which rabbits could be

not crawl through and being so high

He Had Fallen Of.

Patrick was new man in the light
horse regiment, but his cheerfulness and
witty replies had already established
him as favorite. He had one draw
back, however, and that was his awk-
wardness when on n horses back. Nat
urally his position required tho opposite
of this, and Patrick worked hard and
faithfully to acquire the easc and natu-
ralness of his comrades when riding. He
congratulated himself that this was at
last accomplished. But one day when
on parade his horse SHE'D and threw him
with considerable force. When he re-
gained consciousness, he found that his
arm had been broken with the fall With
his usual characteristic good humor the
poor fellow smiled in his pain as he said:
well, well, it's too bad. I thought
/ had improved in my riding o great
deal, but instead have fallen off. -

often combined in them, sometimes as
many colors. Flowers, feathers and laco
arc employed in profusion for them in all

Badly Needed Invention Suggested by

II shall be famous. I have an idea
that will send my name laundering
down through the ages" remarked the
copy reader.
"Humph!' replied the humorist. cit
will be the first idea you have ever had.
You spend most of your time destroying
the good ideas of others
well, that may be, although you
never have any idea to destroy, seeing
that you get those which you have from

MANAGES -
ooh, well, let's havo your idea!''
To tell the truth, it was suggested
to mo by you
"Ah! thought as much, and yet you
say
Don't be in too big u hurry. You
haven't heard my idea. :"
what is it?''
II have invented punctuation
mark for humor. 1t is intended to show
the reader where to laugh In olden
times, you know, tho point of the joke
used to be printed in italics. Nowadays
there is no way to show the point, and,
as many of the jokes, such as yours,
have no point, it is impossible to print
the point i'll italics. Now, suggest that
a punctuation mark be placed at the be-
ginning and at the end of everything
supposed to be funny, so that tho reader
may be prepared to laugh when he be-
gins to read and know when he has
reached tho point and it is time to
laugh. would suggest that the mark
be two little squares placed above tho
line, and shall call it by my name.
What do You think Of that for an idea?
TWAS suggested by your stuff, as told
you.
But tho humorist had given tho copy
reader u look Of scorn and had vanished.
