COCKRELL'S LIFE SAVERS.

Eating apples for lunch has become .
fad in the senate. and Senator Francis
NJ. Cockrell Of Missouri is responsible
for its introduction. For some time 1t
has been the >istom of the Missourian
to steal away from the senate chamber
after the morning hour and 60 to the
democratic cloak room for a lunch.
Upon the senator's midday menu there
is Just one article OF diet, and that is
apples. At SIS Senator Cockrell dis
plays a capacity for work which is the
marvel OF the senate. and he at
tributes his splendid health largely to
his free use OF apples and especially to
his daily lunch on apples exclusively.
Taking notice OF the Missourian's good
color, steady nerve and notable en-
durance. other senators have adopted
the apple habit and find 1t beneficial.
Senator Cockrell is one Of the veterans

the Standard Oil company for large terri
tory, he travelled considerably, and on a GER
tain occasion fell in with couple of friends
at Hillsdale, who invited him to 20 with them
to dinner at the house of resident ac-
qualntance. One of them quietly said to the
host: Mr.. Chittenden is an exceedingly
pious man and likes to have the food blessed
before partaking. You must invite him to
ask the blessing.
Accordingly, when all were seated, silence
fell upon the company, while the host turned
to Mr.. Chittenden with "Will you ask the
bessing?"
Up went Chittenden's hand to his ear, with
his usual, quick, nervous gesture, as in a
listening attitude he responded in tone
more decided than unctuous:
I've grown so ALFRED deaf lately that if
you've got anything to say to me you'll have

A roar from the two friends disclosed to
Chittenden and the astonished host that
they had been the victims Of a practical joke.

agent to write Mississippi business II

tended that all policies or contracts Of
insurance of any kind upon property in
Mississippi should be placed and writ
ten by licensed agent residing in this
State, who should collect the premiums
and report the transactions to his com
panv. Mississippi would thus be cred
tied with the business, while If the
policy was merely countersigned by \
Mississippi agent, the transaction would
be reported and accounted for by the
outside agent, who placed and wrote
the policy and collected the premium.
Mississippi would not be credited with
the premium, but if loss of the prop
erty occurred it would be charged
against the State. The countersigning
of policy by local agent is q subtle
fuge-an evasion of the law"

At the Methodist general conference re.
Gently held in Chicago certain members,
both lay and clerical, freely criticised the
large expense accounts Of some of the bish-
ops, relates the Chicago Chronicle. They
were charged with extravaganza, and told
that they had NO right to live like princes
while serving the Lord. Bishop McCabe has
felt personally .aggrieved by these criticisms,
and has published reply. He declares that
his own annual travelling expenses average
less than $3.50. The bishops bill certainly
looks modest. He states that commercial
traveller to whom he showed his account

house fol. which work allows me eight
dollars a day for travelling expenses" This
comparison professionally is most favora-
BILE to the bishop. One 10 reminded, how
ever, that there are certain necessary items
of heavy expenditure to the account Of a
successful drummer which are escaped by an
itinerant bishop. If Bishop McCabe were

eight dollars per day none too ample.

The entire State seems gratified to note
the improvements taking place in our CAPT

soon transform jackson into real modern,
up-to-date city, il the good work goes on.
The progress going on in every quarter de-
mands that our capitol shall make and keep
step with improvements elsewhere, and it
seems from reports that she is alive to the
demands upon her. There was never a
time in her history when tho future prom
ised SO much, and we hope to sec her ac-
cept every opportunity to advance with
the rest of the State. The capital should
be pride to every citizen, and it should
be the object of her business men and CAPT
talists to transform her into such q city
that the entire people will feel an interest

One of the much-needed improve
ments Of the Industrial Institute and
College is library. Suitable rooms
are being prepared, and the legislative
appropriation 1000 has been used in
the purchase of books. As every coun-
ty in the State is represented in the
student body, we suggest to our press
brethren that they compliment the col
lege reading rooms with their papers.
This would be much appreciated by the
young ladies, and by their families.
They could thus keep up with homo
and general news. Indeed no cduca-
ton can be considered complete that
does not consider current events, at
home and abroad,
