THE OK.

The level-headed editor of the Ter
ry Headlight, says: ..
Some papers in this State are rea-
soning from the absence OF the OK on
the assessment rolls that this valuable
animal is being dispensed with. If
such is the case we are sorry to know
it. 1t is an accepted fact that pair
of oxen can outpull two horses or
mules, and with our present miserable
roads the OK can accomplish more
heavy work than any other draft ami
NAL, from his ability to pull in deep
mud or sand. In the State OF Yer.
mont, where fine draft horses are the
pride of the farmer, the lowly OK Is
still to be seen plodding along the
roads, for through over one hundred
years OF experience his value has been
demonstrated. After two years OF
bard service a horses value has d.
minished, and in ten years he is worn
out and worthless. A pair Of oxen
can be used for two years, fattened
and then sold for as much or more than
they cost. This repeated several times
in ten years and at the end Of that
time there Is a substantial profit In
the transaction and fresh pair OF
oxen remaining.

WHAT / BELIEVE.

They say the world is growing worse,
I don't believe, though;
They say men worship but the purse,
! don't believe it, though;
They say that greatness is no more,
That all the wise have gone before,
And only trouble is in store
I don't believe it, though.
They say there no saints to-day,
I Idon't believe it, though;
They say we tread downward way,
! don't believe it, though;
They say there's only gloom ahead,
That night is long and day is dead,
That all mems sweetest joys are fed
Idon't believe it, though.
Men had their troubles long ago,
And that's what believe;
The Lord still loves us here below,
Ana that's what believe;
Old Homer. Of the sightless eyes,
And Caesar lie meath other skies,
But greater men than they will rise,
And that's what believe.
The world grows fairer day by day,
And that's what l believe;
The good have not all passed away,
And that's what believe;
Though many one we loved is gone,
Fond hearts and true are beating on,
The happiest days are still to dawn
And that's what believe.

TAX TITLES VOID.


On March 8, 1888, the Legislature of
Mississippi passed an "act to equalize
assessments in the different counties
OF the State" The different counties
were separated into groups and clas.
ses, and the lands divided in first
quality, second quality, etc, each
quality being assessed SO much per
acre. In a recent decision of the Su-
preme Court U. b. Hawkins VS.. W. ?.
Managam), the court decided the act
unconstitutional. The decision will
unQestionabIy invalidate all tax titles
based on the act referred to. and lead
to extensive litigation.

There are perhaps Ia no other coun.

Japan. The wooden buildings with
their straw roofs offer the hest lurk-
ing places for them. Whilst we use
dogs and cats to get rid Of the rats,
the Japanese employ for the same
purpose certaid kind Of snake, the
"dodaishos," q blue.green viper. They
are sometimes as long as seven feet,
and are said to DO the best ratcatchers
in the world.

the chief high priest, he has to offer
sacrifice to a different god almost

that something extraordinary has oc'

member OF his flock at home. Mrs.
Mckinley being an invalid, is not able
to be a regular attendant at church,
so the President has to go alone, or, at
best, accompanied by Cabinet Min

singing OF hymns, reads the Psalms,
and listens intently to the sermon.

cENTURY's END.

ln alluding to the end of the pres.
ent and the beginning of another cen.
tury the New York Times says:
Yesterdays brief dispatch from
Rome, announcing that as the mid
night separating Dec. 81 from Jan. /
approaches the pople will celebrate the
last mass OF the century, is a reminder
OF controversy which, though OF
comparatively recent date and by no
means without bitterness, yet came
to an almost unoticed end and Is now
quite forgotten. We refer to the dis.
pute as to whether this Is the last year
OF the nineteenth century or the first
year OF the twentieth. No reasoning
being with the ability to count up to
100 ever had the slightest excuse for
uncertainty on that question, and the
contention that 1900 was the begin
ming. and not the end Of century
was grotesquely, obviously, almost in
decently, absurd, and yet the uncer.
tainty existed and the contention was
made, not only by people denscly illit-
crate and therefore in a measure par.
donable, but also by hundreds OF per-
sons who, in youth were familiar with
reading books and arithmetics, and
who had managed to reach adult age
without any particular familiarity
with the interior OF insane asylums.

THE IRL II. HICKS 1901 ALMA
MAC.

Whatever may be said OF the scien.
titic causes upon which the Rev. Irl
r. Hicks basis his yearly forecasts OF
storm and weather. it is IA remarkable
fact that specific warnings of every
great storm, food, cold wave and
drouth, have been plainly printed in
his now famous Almanac for many
years. The latest startling proof of
this fact was the destruction Of Gal
weston on the very day named by Prof
Hicks in his 1900 Almanac, as one of
disaster by storm, along the gulf
coasts. The 1901 Almanac, by far the
finest, most complete and beautiful
yet published, is now ready. This re-
markable book OF near two hundred
pages, splendidly illustrated with
charts and half-tone engravings, goes
as a premium to every subscriber,
who pays one dollar year for Prof
Hicks journal, Word and Works.
The Almanac alone is sent prepaid for
only % cents. Order from Word and
Works Publishing Company, 2,20l Lo-
Gust street, st. Louis, Mo.

VARDAMAN'S APPEAL.

The Commonwealth for the week is
before us. At the masthead is the
usual appeal to its delnquents to
come across" but the request this
week is in lighter vein and the
talented editor Of that paper makes
merry over the fact that out OF five
hundred duns sent out only one was
returned with the remittance asked
for. Thereupon Vardaman drops in.
to the following poem, from the pen
OF Ben. T. King, as expressing his sen.
timents towards those who have not
rcsponded:
"If l should die tonight
And you should come to my cold corpse
and say,
Weeping and heartsick DER my life
less clay
II should die tonight,
And you should come 10 deepest grief
and woe
And say Here's that ten dollars that
l owe,'
l might arise in my large, white
cravat
And say, Whats that?'
II should die tonight
And you should come to my cold
corpse and kneel,
Clasping my bier to show the grief
you feel,
say, II should die tonight
And you should come to me, and there
and then,
Just even hint bout payin' me that
ten,
l might arise the while
But I'd drop dead again."

The United States Circuit Court OF
Appeals in Richmond has decided that
where the wife carries on the business,
takes care Of the family, employs her
husband as agent merely, that the
woman is the 'head Of the house."
The lower court has decided 10 the
contrary. Judge Parnell, in reversing
this decision, writes an elaborate opiu-
ion. "When," says he, can intelli-
gent, active, industrious, frugal wo.
man finds that she has married a man
who, instead OF coming up to the stan.
dard OF husband, is a mere depend.
ent, who acknowledges that he is only
a helpmate to his wife, obeys her ia.
structions, pours his little earnings
into her lap, acknowledges her to be
and always to have been the head of
the family, and leaves her its support,
1t would be contradictory OF fact and
an absurd construction OF law to say
he, and not she, Is the head of the
family, and deny to her the benefits
intended for the family and OF the
separate estate she has accumulated,
because the title is in her and she lives
with him." ..s

Special to the Register
WASHINGTON, D. c., September Il.
Ex-Governor Campbell. of Ohio, who
is in Washington to-day. says that the
Democrats are making gains every
day. They are gaining strength i'll
New York. in Ohio, In Indiana, in fact
all over the country. If the election
occurred to-day the Democratic vote
would be larger than it would have
been yesterday.
How about the issues of the cam
paign?''
mo matter what the platform may
say, the paramount issue is what. in
present condition of affairs, gives the
people the most concern. This is the
development of the trusts and the over
grown money power. The trusts and
the overgrawn money power are a
menace to the business interests. This
fact is very generally realized by bus
mess men. 1t is not the working people
and those of small means who are most
concerned. The men with one or two
or three hundred thousand dollars are
threatened more than any others. Self
preservation, escape from the hands
of the trusts and the overgrown mon
ey power is the paramount issue with
them"
