Finally Miss Ethel Bush entered and
III her own charming way presented
each with a dainty card on which was
written the names of the thirteen South

much talk and a great deal Of laughter
as names were suggested. After one
hour the cards were collected and while
a committee looked wei them we were
treated to excellent refreshments.
Miss Ethel then presented the first
prize, a beautiful book, to Miss Mayme

There seems to be a general mis-
understanding of the State quaran-
tine, says the States. Many people
seem to think that the quarantine
shuts out everything, while the fact
of the ase is-only a quarantine eff
fecting persons and personal baggage
has been declared against New Or
leans, where the alleged case of fever
is reported to have occurred las week.
Soon the quarantine will be raised
altogether and everything viii be
working as heretofore.

In the system of retirement and
pensions which the Pennsylvania Rail-
road is preparing to adopt at the in
stance. it is understood, of its new
president, Mr.. Cassatt, the age for
compulsory retirement is fixed at 20
years. Employees who have been 80
years in the employ Of the company,
but who have not reached 70 years of
age, are also entitled to the benefits
of the pension fund. The pension
allowance will be based upon length
of service and the average wages re-
ceived by the employee during such
service. 1t is estimated that the sys-
tenn as adopted will require the pay
ment by the company of about $780,
600 per annum. The fund will not
be put in actual operation until ac-
ton has been taken by the board of
directors in the fall. This pension
fund is not TO interfere in any way
with the employees relief fund, but
will work in harmony with this fund,
the rules governing the pensions be-
ing put in form through conferences
between the executive officers of the
company and the managers OF the re-
lief fund. The benefits sought to be
realized by the railroad company
through the new system are not SOLE
" in the nature of benevolences to
old faithful employees. 1t is expected
to benefit the service of the company,
stimulating employees to the best at
tainments and giving them a feeling
of security concerning their future.
1T will also relieve the company O.
the necessity of retiring in its active
service men whose usefulness an6
deficiency have have lessened by thu
infirmities of age, but whose records
for faithfulness render it impossible
to turn them adrift.

Tale of Three Brothers.

Three brothers, all rich, live to-
oether in a fine old house not a thou
sand miles from Frankfort. They
are bachelors, and probably none OF
them will ever marry, for the young
est will soon be 60 years old. 1t is
singular how they live. The two
Younger ones are ~inseparable COM
panions, and the oldest one does not
sneak to either of them. Years ago
the quarrel happened-no n knows
why-and though their enmity must
have burned itself out long ago, the
habit of not speaking has grown too
strong for them, and will continue
like their habit of bachelorhood, till
the end. There is a story to prove
this assertion. The oldest brother
once lay very i'll. 1t was thought
that he would die, and his fraternal
enemies came in for their final recon-
citation. A moving scene followed.
They shook hands, wept, each blamed
only himself, and all was forgiven
and forgotten. But at the end the
sick man said coldly, in his weak
voice: ssThis don't count, yol
know, if l get WE'LL" "Oh, that was
understood" the others answered
uWe insisted on that before we Woul6
consent to come in" The head OF
the pillow nodded; the weak voice
said, "Good-by, boys and q fort
NIGHT later the owner of those tw'
properties was down stairs, dlnln!

In case the house-to-house inspec-
ton of New Orleans ordered by Pres
ident Souchon should bring TO light a
few more fever cases the Mississippi
State board of health will not put on
a strict quarantine, but will perfect
arrangements with the marine hospi-
tai service for an inspection of all
trains leaving the Crescent City and
passing through this State. 1t is not
anticipated, however, that other
cases will be discovered and comment
on the first case has practically
ceased. Two years of quarantine and
stagnant business has been a bitter
experience to Mississippi, and it will
require something a great deal more
serious than the present outlook to
cause a repetition of the foolish ac-
lions of the past.-States' Mississippi
Bureau.
