A Pleasant Surpriee.

The following extract from private
letter will be read with interest by the
friends of the I. l. and C. and it's popu-
lar president:
must tell you about pretty incident
that occurred with US this afternoon March
2S) and we have been keeping it a secret a
long time. Soon after Mr.. Kincannon's
success in getting the college appropriation
the suggestion was made and promptly
adopted that the teachers give him hand
some loving cup. 1t came yesterday from
Philadelphia. It is perfectly beautiful
quite large gold lined, and inscribed pre-
sented to Andrew Armstrong Kincannon
by the faculty and officers of the Industrial
Institute and College of Mississippi 1900. J"
l never saw any one SO completely sur
prised and overcome; but he was equal to
the occasion. He commenced his beautiful
remarks by saying that he had at last found
out what many people told him before he
came to the I. /. and G. that he was coming
into the midst of lot of ''schemers," who
would take him by surprise, and would be
apt to do all sorts of things without his
knowledge. He then went on to express
his appreciation of the loyal support of the
teachers and of their faithful work. Miss
Orr presented the cup, and we would like
to have you publish her very appropriate
speech

DOES NOT PAY TO BE oBLlGING
One Chicago Young Man HAS Tried
1t and Knows Whereof
He Speaks.

Miss Suburbanite and her stbest"
young man were going to spend the
afternoon with some friends at q
suburb some miles further out. As
they left her home she handed him her
pocketbook to care for in thoroughly
orthodox fashion. just as the train
which. was to take them to the other
suburb was drawing up at the little
station buggy stopped close to the
tracks. A woman jumped out Of It.
lifted child in each hand, and made
for the train.
'sOh, they'll be leftl screamed Miss.
Suburbanite, and there was nothing
for the young man to do but to 60 to
the rescue. While the girl helped the
two children aboard he made dash
for the buggy to help the mother get
the luggage and the third youngster.
Just then the train pulled out. Miss
Suburbanite was carried on, with two
excited, screaming children, and the
young man and the mother were left
behind. When the conductor came
along he scoffed at Miss Suburbanitc'S
story of her lost pocketbook and how
she came into possession of the two
screaming cherubs. She was put off at
the next station, eight miles further on,
and the two children with her. She had
not penny about her, and there
seemed no way out Of the guandary but
to walk back or wait until the mother
of the children and the missing young
man came along. AS there was no 9th
er train from the place she had just
left until well toward midnight, the
situation seemed hopeless.
Meantime the young man and the
mother of the children, left standing ON
the platform, were staring at each 9TH
er Indignantly.
mice predicament you've got me
and my little children into with your
ofticiousness," said the woman,
mice predicameDt you've got me
into!" retorted the young man. He de-
cided finally to drive over to the next
suburb, correctly judging that Miss
Suburbanitc would be compelled to
leave the train at that point. The roads
were bad, the horse tired, and this with
frightened and indignant woman at
his side, made the trip anything but
pleasant.
When they reached the depot they
found that Miss Suburbanite had bor-
rowed some money from the station
agent, leaving her watch and ring as
security, had walked over to the sta
ton of the other railway, which ran
through the second suburb, and taken a
train for home. There would be no
train for the pursuing party to take for
hours, however, so they drove back.
At the home station it was found that
the girl had gone to her home, taking
the children with her. She did not
want them, but the station agent reso-
lutely refused to take charge of them.
This is a nice way to NEEDLE with
other peoples children" snapped the
woman, as she made off with the ba-
bies.
To cap it all, the young man and the
girl quarreled all the way home, and it
was long time before they decided to
make up gain.-Chicago Inter Ocean.

waist, sIsirt and bodice.

If you wish to acquire distinction in
dress with your separate waists, see to
it that there is some relation in color
between the skirt and the bodice. The
black skirt with bright colored waists
which have no black in their compo-
,ition is no longer considered swell.
For example, blue and fawn checked
silk blouse is very good style with
either fawn or blue cloth skirt
while with black il would be very ordi-
nary Washington Star.

There is a movement on foot for the
establishment of farm school for the
poor boys of Dallas, Tex. 1t is pro-
posed to teach the boys to treat the
soil, to plant seed, to take care of the
crop from sprout to market. to care for
farm animals, tools and implements,
and to learn that the successful farm
er is not the one who owns the most
land, but the one who obtains the best
resultE from his lands. The principal
value ,f such school, though, if it be
established and conducted successful
ly, will lie in its ability to teach boys
who are obliged to work for living
that the country is better place for
them than the city. That fact can not
be emphasized too strongly, says an
exchange.

jackson on June ID, IA and Is. Physical

alton will be refused entrance to the men-
tai examination. The boy who has first

A trustee of the Jackson graded
schools, Mr.. Charles Fitzgerald, has
filed vigorous protest against the con-
tinuance of Prof. j. C. Hardy on the
capitol commission. He claims that it
must necessarily interfere with his
duties as superintendent of the city
schools; that the board having elected
him for three years, and fixed his salary
at 81, 800, his first duty is to the schools.
The proximity of the graded school
building to the site for the new capitol,
and the fact that the professor can de-
vote the afternoons and Saturdays to
looking after the new capitol, he will
be able to devote more time to the cap
itol than any other commissioner with
less interference to other engagements
And besides, he will be able, when the
capitol is finished, to deliver a lecture
on Architecture, and What l Know
About Contractors and Builders.
