CATCHING SUCKERS.

Messrs. Sam and Joseph Lorrls,
agents for the Illinois Woollen
Mills, located at Desplaines. His,
were in town Wednesday, attempt
| ing to sell our people foreign
goods.-Sea Coast Echo, March l0.
The attempt" was very sue
| cessfuI, and the term Of one dol
lar down, in advance, worked ex-
cellently-to the advantage of the
agents. The scheme was to offer
lfactory-made goods at low figures
land as a prize the inducement
was made to give an electric lamp
or ANYTHING else in that line. The
orders secured were many, but to
this day no one in Bay St. Louis
has ever heard Of the Lorris broth
ers. Illinois Woolfen Mills, or the
goods and prizes. Several letters
were written to the address given
but those were returned by the T..
%. departments, wTtff the inforn1a-
ton that no such firm exists
This is a Yankee trick, unadul-
terated. So long home people
will refuse to patronlze home
merchants and home concerns and
''bite" at the offers of every man
or woman agent that may come
and 60, just so long will this fake
business flourish. Some peop9
buy anything foreign - whether
they need it or not.

A Mu!timlIIlonaire's Home.

|. William G.. Whitney is ambl-
tious to have the handsomest prl-
vate residence in the world, and
his new house at the corner of 9th
avenue and 72nd street, New York,
for which he paid 81 900, 900, IS
being furnished and decorated on
that basis. 1t is not large rs the
mansion of the late Cornelius Van
derbilt, nor that Of G. 2. Hunting
ton. Several houses in the neigh
borhood are more spacious and
have more elegant surroundings,
but the interior arrangement and
decoration is said to surpass in ar
tistic beauty and sumptuousDess
every private home in the world.
The first floor suite, which IN
cludes reception room, two
drawing rooms, dining room and
ballroom, was finished and fur
nished at cost of 81 ,2l0,O0. Two
silver andirons III the dining room
cost $4,000. Mr.. Whitney has
weakness for andir0ns, and has
them in every fireplace In his
house. 1t is said that he has over
$4,000 invested in that kind of
bric-a-brac. The library, with IA
smoking room attached, was fitted
up at a cost of $118,000, without
reference to the pictures, which
are very valuable.
Mr.. Whitney resides in this
beautiful mansion with his daugh-
tar Dorothy, a young woman of

who promises to be as great a
belle as her mother. She will IN

The Post Check System

It is admitted that the present
facilities for transmitting money
throughthe mails are deficient and
lacking in proper protection.
There IS pending before con-
gress bill which provides a re-
medy for the most obvious detects
of the present system. The object
of this bill as stated in its title is
''to prevent robbing the mail, to
provide a safer and easier method
of sending money by mail, and to
increase the postal revenues" D."
The bill has the endorsement OF
bankers, business men and COM
merclal organizations all over the
country.
Its importance and possible
benefits will be appreciated when
we remember that two-thirds of
all the postoffices in the United
States are not money order offices.
Such offices are among agrlcultu-
raj communities, where it is espe-
cially inconyenient for the citizens
to secure safe money to send IN
the mail.
In order to make it easier and
safer to send money through the
mails and to relieve the great mass
of the rural population of the Sc
rious inconvenience which they
now have in procuring postal mo-
ney orders or bank drafts it IS
proposed to reprint all 81, 50 and
$5, bills now in existence and
provide on their faces blank
spaces, the use of which will be
hereafter indicated. Each treas
ury note, coin certificate, silver
certificate or other form of cur
rency of 81, 50 and s. denomina-
ton, will be replaced with a post
check note of like denomination,
based on the same foundation and
existing under the same law as the
note retired, thus in no way chang
ing the present financial system of
the government.
The money thus provided will
pass from hand to hand in the
ordinary transactions Of the day.
Then when one wishes to send
money in small amount, 50 for
instance, by mail to subscribe for
magazine or newspaper pay bill,
or transact any of the multitude
nous pieces of business necessary
by letter, he will take a 81 bill from
his pocketbook, write on its face
the name of the person or firm
to be sent to, the city and State,
and affiXing a two cent postage
stamp in the square indicated
Gone cent stamp for the fractional
bills), sign his initials in ink, with
date: the initials and date to cross
and cancel the stamp.
Thus the piece of currency
which, up to this time, has passed
from hand to hand as negotiable
money, has been instantly trans
formed into a personal check on
the United States Government
for 50, as safe for transmission as
any piece of exchange.
Provision is also made in the
bill for the issue Of fractional bills
IN denominations Of 5, - 25 and
so cents of the postal check from
which will circulate as ordinary
currency and can be converted
into checks just as the 81, 81 and
| $5 bills referred to above.
The postal check bill has sc
much to commend it and is so ur
gently needed THAI it should be
passed at the present session OF
ess.-Atlanta Journal.

life's drlfted front, Dlue-Felhea
and fair. where perfect peace
finds perfect form; rocked by viii
/ ling feet and wooed to shadowy
shores of sleep by siren mother
singing soft and low; looking with
wonder-wide and startled eyes at
common things of night and day;
taught by want and wish and con-
tact with the things that touch the
dimpled flesh of babes; lured by
light and flame and charmed by
color's wOndrous robes, learning
the use of hands and feet and by
the love of mimicry beguiled to
utter speech; releasing prisoned
thought from grabbed and curious
marks on soiIed and tattered
leaves; puzzling the brain with
crooked numbers and their chang
ing worth; and so on through
years Of alternating day and night
until the captive grows familiar
with the chains and walls and Ii
mutations of life.
And time runs in sun and shade
until one of all the world is
wooed and won, and all the lore
of love is taught and learned
again. Again home IS built
with the fair chamber, wherein
faint dreams, like cool and
shadoWy wales. divide the billow-

Eacle of birth-the pain and JOY,
the kiss of welcome and the era

prattle of the babe.
And then the sense of obligation
and of wrong; pity for those who
toll and weep; tears for the im-
prisoned and despised; love for
the generous dead, and in the
heart the rapture of a high re-
solve.
And then ambition with the lust
Of pelf and place and power, long
ing to put upon its breast diotinc-
tion's worthless badge; the keener
thoughts of men and eyes that
see behind the smiling mask of
craft; fattered no more by the
obsequious cringe of gain and
greed; knowing the uselessness
of hoarded gold and honor bought
from those who charge the usury
Of self-respect; of power that only
bends the towards knees and
forces from the lips of fear the
lies of praise; knowing at last the
unstudied gesture of esteem, the
reverent eye made rich with hon
est thoughts; and holding high
above all other things-high as
Hopes great throbbing star above
the darkness of the dead-the
love of wife and child and friend.
Then locks of gray and growing
love of other days and half re-
membered things; then holding
withered hands of those who first
held his, while over dim and low
ing eyes death softly presses down
the lids of rest.
And so, locked in marriage vows
his children's hands and crossing
others on the breast of peace,
with daughters babes upon his
knees, the white hair mingling
with the gold, he journeys on from
day to day to the horizon where
dusk Is waiting for the night; and
sitting by the holy hearth of home,
as the last embers change from
red to gray, he falls to sleep with

and adored, telling upon his lips

Mr.. F. M. Rounds, chief electri-

Pollock and B. G. Whalen, of Dal-
las, came here several days ago for
the purpose of placing in a Self
Restoring, Multiple Long Distance
Board, which will admit six opera
tors to work at once and will carry
80 wires. The old board was of a
different patent and only three op-
orators could sit at the board, and
it required system of "trunking"
to get wires not in use, while the
new board will do away with this
work and the service will be more
satisfactory to both the operators
and the patrons.
1t will be but a short time. so we
are told by Manager A. p. Brown,
before the local board will be taken
out and Multiple one put in its
place.
The Telephone Company is spar
ing nothing to make exchange here
one of the best in the country, IS
this is their most important point.
The exchange now has, 480 sub
scribers at this place and has sever
al wires leading into the country
and good long distance patron
age.
Mr.. Brown has under him the
following employees who run the
exchange: Mrs. Annie Lee, Chief
operator, of local board; Misses
Maggie Harris, Lizzie Coleman, Lii
da Pickard, Eta Paulk, Susie
Bruce, Florence Perry, Lucy Page,
Ellen Mudford, Lucy Hall, Mittie
Thornton, Emma Crawford, and

operators are Miss Minnie Williams,
day Chief, and Miss Algi Simmons,

Bessie Choate, Ella Thornton and
Grace Davis as operators. Mr.. S.
