"Have you ever noticed that nearly
all policemen get fat?" asked 4 man
who keeps his eyes open. This would
seem to disprove the theory that walk
ing In the open air IL means Of redUc-
ing superfiuous weight. l have known
new policemen to start on their beats
weighing no more than 125 pounds. In
six months they would tip the scales ct
80 and in n year reach the 200 mark.
It must be the slow ssuntcrinG in the
open air that does it, for have noticed
that while policemen grow fat the
hoase sergcants, who are confined In
the stations. are invariably thin. Those
who patrol the streets gain the maxi
mum weight in about three years. The
muscles then harden. and despite their
apparent burden OF flesh the men usu-
ally develop great activity. One Of the
best r,rnnerS and jumpers l know is n
policeman who weighs nearly 300
pounds. "-Philadelphia Record.

MEN u ANTED.

Greater than all other wants is the
worlds want of men; men who are not
for sale: men who are honest, sound
from center to circumference, true to
and covetousness: men who will con
denim wrong in friend or foe, in them
selves as well as in others; men whose
consciences are as steady as the needle
to the pole: men who will stand for the
right if the heavens totter and the earth
reels; men who will tell the truth and
look the world and the devil right in
the eye; men who neither brag nor run
that neither swagger nor finch: men
who have courage without whistling
for it and joy without shouting to bring
it: men in whom the current of ever.
lasting life runs still and deep and
strong; men careful of Gods honor and
careless of mans applause; men toe
large for sectarianism and too strong
for political cabals; men who do not
strive nor cry, nor cause their voices to
be heard in the streets, but will not fail
nor be discouraged till judgement is
set in the earth men who know their
message and tell it; men who know their
place and fill it; men who mind their
own business; men who will not lie
men who are not too lazy to work nor
too proud to be poor; men who are
willing to eat what they have earned
and wear what they have paid for; men
who know whom they have believed
men whose feet are ON the everlasting
rock; men who are not ashamed of their
hope; men who are strong with divine
strength, wise with the wisdom that
cometh from above, and loving with the
love of Christ-men of God. OF such is
the world in need. -WmOnd Democrat

Prof. Martin HOnOred

Prof. E. l.. Martin has been highly
complimented by the National Educa-
tional Association by being rendered
an invitation to make an address on the
subject of business education at the
approaching annual convention in the
city of Charleston. Mr.. Martin, while
resident journalist of Mississippi, was
for years prominent representative
of that State at the National Educa-
tional Association conventions, and
there won the soubriquet of the silver
tongued orator of the Mississippi press.
He has been often heard in Macon, and
never without receiving the highest
encomiums from his hearers for his elo-
quence. Should he accept the invita-
ton, he is certain to reflect great credit
upon the Central City. Macon (Go.)

TO lincoln County Teachers.

The teachers of Lincoln will find il
the county paper of this week the semi
annual announcement of county ex.
aminations. And in connection with
this the writer feels that few timely
hints as to the policy to be pursued in
this county by the Superintendent of
Education will not be amiss, it
might save some meritorious teacher
much trouble and loss. Pardon bit
of history.
With the induction into office
of Hon. ]. r. Preston as State
Superintendent, uniform system of
examinations was adopted. These ex-
aminations were tests. And before
the onslaughts of this courageous lead
er backed by such Superintendent of
Education as G. X. Regain, ]. r. Wade
and others, the ranks of the incom-
petent school keepers and educational
hangers-on received such shake that
howl of dismay went up from every
county in the State. Before these ex-
aminations, the sounding brass" of
fiattering testimonials were of no avail.
An applicant had to be familiar with
the common school branches before
he could obtain license to teach.
After the new system of examina-
tions we soon had county institutes
and separate districts and after these
the State Normals.
Thus, step by step, the popular
wave of educational progress has
swept over the State, carrying with it
pedagogues, pupils and people, until
today the educational progress made
by the State of Mississippi during the
last decade is second to that made by
only one State in the Union.
Our teachers, as class, are pro-
gressive and competent. But the in
competent, the timber fingered manip-
ulator of examination "jacks," is still
here, and sometimes makes his power
felt He knows where the loose exam
nations are held. He soon learns to
~.N" sAS AShAShb Soohty
ents. Ii compositor in the State
printers office can be bought, he will
find it out. 1t does not take a super
intendent long to detect this sort of a
thing.
When End and 3rd grade teachers
habitually leave your county for ex-
animation and transfer 1st grade Ii
censes, you know something to be
wrong. Our schools and our compe-
tent teachers must be protected.
So in the future, the infiexible policy
OF the County Superintendent of Lin
coin will be. to so exercise his preroga-
tive Of fixing salaries as to render
work in the county public schools, I'M
desirable to any except those who hold
either State professional licenses or
licenses issued In Lincoln county.

With the death of Gen Joubert the
Beers have lost three of their princi-
pal military leaders. Gen. Jan Kock,
second in command to Joubert, was
killed in one of the early battles: Gen.
Cronje. the most dashing of their com
manders, was captured at Paardeberg
and now Gen. Joubert has succumbed
to disease. 1t will be difficult to re-
place these three men. When the
Beers raided British territory in 1884,
Joubert was the only prominent Boer
who refused to support the movement
and his opposition resulted in with
drawal when he said II positively
refuse to hold office under a govern
ment that deliberately breaks its Gov
enants, and we have made covenants
with England" He was IS years of
age: was utterly fearless; had little
schooling and never saw newspaper
until he was 10 years of age.

fully lays all his plans before the Jack

Mr.. William Shakespeare, no rela

Michigan, was in Jackson recently in
search of an oak tree which sheltered
him for few hours while he lay
wounded after battle near jackson
during the civil war. He found the
tree, which had attained considerable
size, and secured an arborculturist to
superintend its removal to Michigan

People are firing of the war tax. The
