YANKEE GRIT.

Speaking of Yankee grit and bus
tle," says the Dixie Press of West
Point, Capt. Jones, of the Gulf and
Ship Island railroad, is certainly an
ideal example. With full confidence
in the practicability of deep water
harbor on the coast of Mississippi and
recognizing the advantages of the
basin at Gulfport, he came down from
Buffalo, and, making his home among
our good people, he took the govern
ment contract to dig a S750,000 chan
mel for only s150OO0, thus giving the
people of this State the benefit of
100000 investment on their coast.
When we also remember that the
weight brought to bear on Congress by
this channel 300 feet in width and
nearly ten miles in length will go far
toward securing the additional appro-
priation of Sl,250,OO0, we are forced to
accord to him full measure of praise
and declare that every patriotic Missis-
sippian will recognize and feel proud
of the service he has rendered this
great and growing commonwealth"

TO HELP THE ORPHANS,

H. F. Simrall, sovereign escort, has
issued an appeal to the camps of the
Woodmen of the World in Mississippi
for liberal donation to one of the sew
eral orphan homes of the State. He
states that this noble order has built
thousands of beautiful homes for
mothers and their children, keeping
them together, and making it possible
for them to attend school, and that the
aim has ever been that orphan children
shall neither grow up in ignorance, go
thinly clad or go to bed hungry.
"As the Mississippi member of the
Sovereign Camp" says Sovereign Es-
cort Simrall, land with the hearty con-
sent and approval of our beloved SOW
ereign commander, Joseph c. Root,
who is always foremost in good works,
a ppeal to each camp in Mississippi to
make, during the closing month of the
first year of the new century, liberal
donation to one of the several orphan
homes in our state. Even the small
sum of ten cents from each member
will produce more than $1,000. Who
can estimate the good this sum will
do? AS our membership is composed
of all classes and creeds, | ask that all
of the asylums be remembered, and
that the contributions be sent to Sow
ereign L. p. Barr, of Jackson, Miss,
twice our representative to the Sow
ereign Camp, who will distribute the
funds as deignated by the camps, and
who will publish detailed report of
receipts and disbursements.
'The whole civilized world dedicates
to the birth of love one day of this
month, for Christ is love. He said love
thy neighbor as myself. No sect, no
society, has a copyright on doing good.
1t behooves the Woodmen of the
World, as the fraternity having the
largest membership by several thou
sands of any other in the State, that
our donations be in keeping with our
great numbers and the leading position
we occupy. Our order has prospered
during the year, both within and with
out the State, as never before, so am
confident of generous responses to this
appeal"

The Good Men do Lives After
Them.

The vote for Secretary of State gives
cheering evidence of the Immortality
of an honorable and useful life. Young
Power was elected, as was but just and
right, and young George received the
next highest vote. Neither Of the
young men had much acquaintance
throughout the State, and they will
pardon us for saying that the endorse,
ment each received was in recognition
of the lustre shed upon them by the
men whose names they bear. No man
in this State was known so well or
loved SO much as Col John l.. Power,
and there was no MAI VIII I'M the pat

SHORT TALK BY THE GOVERNOR
In his address last week to the visit
ing northern real estate men, Governor
Loneino made the following pertinent
remarks in regard to the administra-
ton of justice by the courts and the
suffrage qualifications required in
Mississippi:
"Perhaps you have heard some criti-
cisms of our laws and our courts in
Mississippi. | understand they have
been quite general through your Sec
ton. l want to say that our laws cover
and protect wisely and well all classes
and conditions of men, and our courts
have high and incorruptible standard
of jurisprudence. Contrary to the as
sertions of partisans and ill-informed
people, our Constitution contains no
organic infringement on citizenship.
Our suffrage clause eliminates only the
ignorant class, who cannot read and
write and those who will not pay their
taxes. The talk about our Constitu-
ton being unjust is bugaboo. Edu-
cation in this day is easy and cheap
and with our magnificent public school
system, on which we expend sl,700,000
per year, there is no excuse for igno-
renee. The man who will not bear
his just share of the burden of govern
ment has no right to participate in the
management of that government. The
man who will not qualify himself for
suffrage has no legal right to claim a
franchise. Ours is an intelligent gov
eminent by intelligent people"

Teddy's Strenuous Life.

President Theodore Roosevelt once
wrote book called 1.-THE Strenuous
Life" He was premature. He should
have waited few years longer until
he experienced the strenuous life of a
President of the United States. When
he first took charge of this office he is
said to have been in great good humor
and taking things easily. Now it is
stated that he wears a constant look of
irritation, like a man who has been
sitting up o'nights with a couple of
fretful kids. The office seekers daily
besiege him, the politicians find objec-
tions to his appointments, and the let
ter writer's burden his mail with their
epistles. He is learning a good deal
more by experience about the siren
uous life than he could ever learn from
reading his own book.-Eupora Prog

SPIDER KILLS CATERPILLAR,
Hattie Royal Bctween Them I'm Which
Former Was Easily the
Victor.

An exciting battle between a spider
and a caterpillar, which lasted nearly
an hour, was witnessed by crowd of
men and boys in West Manayunk. Pa.
one day lately. The spider won the
contest after losing two legs.
The fight occurred on a rail fence on
William Shindle's farm Two boys
were attracted by the combat, and
gradually the audience grew until
there were about so spectators. Many
wagers were made on the result, the
spider being the favorlte. IL Is be-
lieved that the fight was caused by the
caterpillar getting caught in the spid-
er's web.
Being wedged in the meshes of its
antagonists parlor, the caterpillar
was at great disadvantage and could
fight only from the one spot, while the
spider could slide up and down and
attack the caterpillar from all sides.
The caterpillar fought with It's head
and tail. The spider punished with its
deadly stings
As a last resort. says the Philadel-
phia North American, the caterpillar
attempted 20 encircle It's opponent.
The spider lodged right and left.
Theh both closed in. When they sep
arated two OF the spiders legs were
missing. Then they clinched again,
and by quick move the spider got at
the rear Of the caterpillar and rolled
1t up like piece of carpet
Then the spider carried its opponent
in triumph 70 a secluded hole in the
fence. Later feast was served in the
spiders den.

however, succeeded in getting the
train into Nevada. At that place. as
no fremen were available, one Of the
practical coal shovelers from the
chutes was ordered to fire the en-
CINE.
He didn't know a thing about firing
an engine, but he knew how to shovel
coal. The engine started from the
Nevada depot with the tender fresh
