that forces man to mortgage his
property at the end of the year, that
makes him morose and sour and un-
happy and dissatisfied and that
brings him to ruin and poverty.
The other way of doing business is
to take pencil and paper and write
down what you can at the very least
calculation hope to make. Figure
that you will make half crop, our
observation being that the average
man means by full crop very big
crop indeed. Figare\that the crop
will be sold at low prices-the cotton
at FIVE cents a pound. Figure what
it will cost you to make the crop
how many dollars and how many
cents you will have to pay out for
fertilizers and labor and for mending
plows and wagons and harness.
When you have written down every
item Of expense, add twenty five per
cent. to cover expenses that you can
not think of but which, you may be
sure, will bring themselves to your
attention later on. Add up these
figures and compare them with the
amount of money that you will have
available for the year. Then you
will know precisely how much you
can afford to spend and come out
even at the end of the year. Make
firm resolve that you will not live
beyond that sum. Watch yourself
and your family day by day and see
that you and they are keeping them
selves within the limit. To do this
may mean and will mean for
hundreds of families that they must
make a quick, sudden and painful
change in living. Luxuries that
they have always been accustomed to
must be cut off, coarser clothes per-
hans must be worn. each member of
the family perhaps must work harder
and possibly do work of more un-
pleasant character; but at the end Of
the year this way of living will have
resulted in paying debts and in plac-
ing the man and his family on good
business footing.
In business, the hardest thing to
do is to look facts in the face. To
realize that notes must be paid. To
recognize that "you can not eat your
cake" It is so easy to take for
granted that cotton will 60 to nine
cents and it is SO easy to spend
money with that expectation as a
basis. The man who looks at the
future and calculating closely what
he can do and must do and then tries
hard to do it is almost sure to get
along.

Did You Ever Think?

That kind word put out at inter
est brings back an enormous per cent
age of love and appreciation?
That, though a loving thought
may not seem to be appreciated, it
has yet made you better and braver
because of it?
That the little acts of kindness and
thoughtfulness, day by day, are
really greater than one immense act
of goodness once a yeal?
That to be always polite to the peo-
pie at home is not only more lady
like, but more refined, than having
company manners?"
That to Judge anybody by his
person appearance stamps you as
not only Ignorant, but vulgar?
That to talk and talk and talk
about yourself and your belongings
is very tiresome for the people who
listen?

What Everybody Knows.

Or ought to know, is that health and
even life itself depends upon the con-
dition of the blood. Feeding, as it
does, all the organs Of the body, it
must be rich and pure in order to
give proper nourishment. Hoods
Sarsaparilla makes the blood pure,
rich, nourisbing, and in this way
strengthens the nerves, creates an
appetite, tones the stomach and
builds up the health. Hoods Sarsa
parilla wards off colds, pneumonia
and fevers, which are prevalent at
this time. II

done their best, and if so, how could
they have done better? A kind word
costs but little, yet it's influence may
last a life time.
ave can make school room cheerful,
If with kind words we begin,
We can make the children happy,
And their truest blessings win"
So it is liadness and love that
make friends everywhere. They not
only aid in winning the children, but
BY continual practice they will gain
a patience never to be obtained In
any other way and if there is any
one who should exercise patience 1t
is the teacher. True, the teacher
should not be trifing and too lenient
neither domineering and tyranical,
but mild, firm and commanding
Show the child that you care for him,
that you love him, that you take an
active interest in all that he does;
that his success gladdens while his
failure grieves, and I'll assure you
that the child will love, honor and
respect you, and do his best to learn

What manner of men and women

and women they are to be.
Education is better safeguard for
the perpetuity of a nation than a
standing army. What power bid

country if the teachers will only di-

She is Gaining Strength--Surgeons
Now Assert That the Organs Are
Not Necessary in Life.
New York Medical Record.
''The feat itself is the most bril-
liant and daring ever attempted in
recent surgical history, but the at
tendant discovery that the stomach
is not vital organ is even more i'm
portant. Hitherto it has been con-
sidered utterly impossible for a per-
son to live without stomach. With
the fall of this long recognized ak.
i0m the old theories of medicine and
surgery may be entirely changed and
the field of possibilities which the
discovery opens up is practically
limitless.
The operation which has so
startled the medical world was per.
formed in Zurich, Switzerland, by
DR.. Carl Schlatter on September 9Th
last. The subject was Anna Lands,
ffty-six years old and silk weaver.
This woman had complained for
years of stomach trouble. DR..
Schlatter diagnosed the case and
found she was suffering from an ex-
ceptionally large oval tumor in her
stomach.
The operation lasted nearly two
hours and half. The loss of blood
was slight.
"The operation was wonderfully
performed. The patient, although
old and feeble, exhibited but few of
the serious symptoms that usually
follow a vital operation. Minute
quantities of liquid food were given
to her at short intervals. With the
exception Of occasional vomiting, this
food seemed to be assimilated,
despite the absence of food recep-
tacle. In the second week after the
operation she was given solid food.
1t was retained and digested with
out discomfort. And even DR..
Schlatter himself marveled at the
almost unexpected success Of his
bold work. He was handicapped in
giving the patient solid food, because
she had only one tooth left in her
head.
"On October 11th, a month and
five days after the stomach had been
removed, Anna Lands left her bed.
By November 25th she was feeling
perfectly we'll and was walking about.
Her weight increased and apparently
she was in for better health than
before the operation.
sDr. Edmund Charles Wendt, OF
New York city, the correspondent Of
The Meaica! Record, who obtained
DR.. Schlatter's personal account OF
the feat, states that on the 9th Of
this month he saw Anna Lands, and
that to all irtents and purposes she
is a we'll woman. She is still under
observation at the Zurich county
hospital, but is able to do her full
share of work in the wards. She has
had many medical visitors from all
quarters of the globe, and by this
time has grown quite proud Of her
depleted body"

Our New Congressman.

The following sketch of our
congressman-elect is taken from
the Natchez Democrat:
Hon. T. A. McLain was born
and reared on a farm in Am1te
county, within few miles of
where he now resides. He attend
ed the common schools of the
naiehhorhood and completed his
education at the University OF
Mississippi, graduating with dis
tlnctiun in both the literary and
law departments Of that institu-
ton OF learning. For while be
taught school at Liberty. He
then visited Texas where he re-
mained for time and travelled
over the great portion of the state
His love for home, however, was
too strong to admit of his staying
there and he returned to Pike
county, Miss, where in 1879 he
married Miss Fannie Tyler Of
Magnolia. whose father was the
founder of Tylertown, a thriving
village in the eastern part of
Pike. After his marriage he re-
turned to Liberty and engaged III
the practice of law with the Hon.
E. A. Mcdowell as his law part
ner.
''In 1881 he was nominated af-
ter a spirited contest with the
HON. w. T Love as representative
of Amlte in the legislature. He
served with credit and ability,
but being an aspirant for higher
honors 1883 he was the choice of
the district, over four of the
ablest lawyers in it the position of
district attorney. This office he
filled for thEee consecutive terms
of four years each, retiring in 1896
He was member of the constitu-
tional convention of the 1890, and
has been frequently mentioned
for congress. but was never be-
fore candidate for that office. "

regard for him, and Col. Sargent
says; 81 tell you, Vardaman is a
fine fellow, and when he becomes

sissippi, if it is possible for me to
get a furlongh. I will go all the

THE rIARIA TEREsA's LOSS.

The people of the United States
deplore the sinking of the Maria
Teresa as much as they would
the sinking of an American
cruiser of equal fighting power,
in thorough repair.
The people of the United States
want to add to the American navy
a ship that formerly belonged to
the Spanish navy. They want
that addition both as souvenir OF
the war with Spain and to serve
as a sprig of laurel, such as clas-
sic couquerors took delight in
wearing Raised as that ship was
by Lieut.. Hobson, who took a
prominent part in the operations
Lefore Santiago, the people OF
the United States attached a
special sentimental value to the
Maria Teresa, greatly in excess
of the mere money value which
that ship possesses.
Now that the Maria Teresa has
gone down in three miles Of water,
and is entirely beyond the hope of
resurrection, the United States
should turn its attention to the
CristobaI Colon. That is a bet
ter ship, has a better name, and
the United States wants it.

THE MARIA TERESA.
The Spanish Warship Captured sby
the Americans Sunk,

Charleston, Nov. 5.-The ocean
| tug Merritt put into Charleston
| this morning for supplies. She
reported the loss of the cruiser
Maria Teresa, raised by Construc-
tor Hobson recently, off San Sal
yador, Bahamas, Nov. l, in the
midst of a furious storm.
The cruiser left Caimenera. Cuba
on the morning of Oct. 80 in tow
for New York. She had already
+ passed Cape Maysi and started
northeast around the Bahamas.
A furious storm, warning of
which had already been sent out
overlook her and in her condition
she was unable to weather the
gale.
The strain opened rents in her
huil which had been patched to
eaable her to make the journey
and she began to fill rapidly. The
Merritt took off Captain Harris
and the crew from the sinking
ship and she soon went down.
The Merritt brought the captain
and 1876 men, who will proceed
north by rail. No lives were lost
as far as known.
The Merritt is now at quaran-
tine, 6 miles from the city, COM
munication with her being diff
cult.
The Teresa left Caimenera last
Sunday and passed Cape Maysi,at
the eastern extremity of Cuba, on
Oct. 81. She signalled that all
VIZ well and that her machinery
was working smoothly. Mean
while the weather burean report
to the navy department showed
that a cyclone was forming to the
southwest at Havana, but it was
thought the warship would be well
away from the pathway of the cy-
clone-at least 1000 miles, accord
ing to the calculations.
The Teresa was expected to
reach Hampton Roads tomorrow,
where big reception for her had
been planned by the citizens of
Norfolk.
The Maria Teresa was probably
the finest of the Spanish craft
sunk by the American fleet on
the memorable July 3, being Ad-
mlral Cervera 5 flagship, ,and young
Hobson's feat in afterwards rais-
ing her added to his fame.
It turns out, however, that all
his efforts were in vain, as the
Teresa has gone down while en-
route 10 a United State port.

"Men are just like hogs, how
ever distasteful that may sound to
hogs" says a writer in an ex-
change. "When hog gets an
ear Of corn, every other hog will
trot along behind him and squeal
and while and beg and toady for
bite, but let the front hog get
caught with its head fast in a crack
and every son of sow will jump
on him and tear him to pieces.
Just so with men. AS long as a
man is prosperous and has money
he can't keep his friends off with
a ball-bat. The moment he is un-
fortunate and his wealth is gone
he is not only snubbed by his for
mer alleged friends, but they at
once begin to do him all the harm
possible. When a man starts
down grade the world steps aside
and greases the track. Centre
