MISSISSIPPrS PRIDED INSTITUTION.

HURCH and state have been inter

pushing the issue. Much stress is placed upon an
attempt made by Mr.. John Allen to play upon the
differences between the freight schedules made for
che interior points along the railroad and such
points as Mobile, st. Louis and Cairo. This, in
short was the point upon which John Allen treated
the court with harangue lasting two days last
week at Columbus Officers of the railroad were Of
course summoned as Witnesses, and we're placed on
the stand but instead of being content with asking
them questions and leaving them to answer them,
Mr.. Allen distorted his questions, and endeavOred
to suggest his own answers in whatever manner he
OWNED would make the best showing for his com
plant. About all the testiiying in fact was done
by JOhn and whether he wins his case or not 1t is
probable, from the showing he made, that his en-
plOyers will be willing to pay him his fee even
though he may never have had ghost Of a show of
making anything out of the case more than
a grand stand play.

It really seems strange that the Democrats in an
hour ike the present. when their opponents in con-
gress are sadly plunging in the dark have not the
genius and statesmanship to come forward with
some logical solution Of some Of the knOtty ques-
tions involved and scOr victory for the honor Of
their time serving party organization. But the
Democrat Of today is not deep planner, except to
hold his job and his salary, Just like Republican
plans and figures to hold on to what he hes secured
in the same line.

Inc DECLARATION OF peace between the brlJsn anu
Beers is indeed source OF qualification to the civil
hzed world. No matter at what cost to either par
ty to such controversy it is better that end be
found to the slaughter and waste that has been go
ing on for more than two years in Of the finest
sections of country the shines on in it's daily
course. The terms Of the negotiations are not Of
course all that the patriotic Beers could DESIRE yet
they retain their identity far enough to gratiy the
soul OF even as brave people as they have proven
themselves to be- for in summing up the controversy,
with the unmeasured odds that have been against
them, they are in much more congratulatOry atti-
tude than are their foes who can scarcely take
refuge behind any claim OF humane concessions
made in the adjustment. The world knows that
England never comedies point if it is possible to
crush foe, hence it will understand that whatever
rights in the premises the Beers have been able to
secure have come from their unquestlOned courage,
their tact and bravery, all OF which have combined
to demonstrate to the powerful foe they have con-
frOnted that even little powers in the right must
sometimes be respected.

There are few people who reach their majority but
down deep in their heart actually believe they
could do any given piece of work they observe in
the hands of another better than he who is handling
it does the work. Especially is this true OF the
view people generally take of the newspaper. Al
most anyone not in the business could give the edi
tor pointers how to run the paper. The MESSENGER
realizing that there may be more truth than is gen.
orally believed in this position, is always willing to
make test. For this and other reasons the editor
of THE MESSENGER has offered to permit the three
resident ministers OF OkoOna to edit the paper for
the four issues in June, writing whatever they
desire to print the only restriction placed on them
being that each sign his name to his own articles
and that if the start is made that they continue the
work for the full four weeks. Whether the offer
will be accepted, feel that there are three minis.

that the secular press is unfair with them.

The Republicans Of Kansas, in state convention
the other day, nominated man for state treasurer
who had been branded as thief by the commits
siOners Of his county, By the Republican paper
Of his own county and by the records Of the Office Of
the county clerk, which Office he held for years be-
fore pushing himself forward for the state nOmina-
tion. Since the fusion in Kansas has practically
destroyed all formidable opposition TO the Repub-
can party, the managers have again become daring
and propose to reward their workers. no matter what
sort OF records they must confront It is this kind
Of abuse by political parties which must ultimately
cause the people to take matters Of state into their
own hands and cease to blindy follow partisan

TRICKS OF THE SHOE STORE
r. NJ. Shoes and Traps OF the Sales
men Into Which Customers Fall.

New York Sun: THAT was an easy P.
NJ" said the shoe clerk, elation in voice
and manner.
Meanwhile the customer, a woman, was
tripping toward the door, her package in
her hand. She stopped short just before
she reached the door and pressed a Gloved
finger against one end of the package.
Seeing her hesitation the clerk advanced
and asked what she had forgotten.
Nothing at all. Only she would really
like to know why one end was missing
from that shoe box. Once before she had
purchased shoes, and the same thing had
happened. Couldn't she have 4 box with
two ends in it?
Assuredly she could. The clerk made
the change with liyhtning-like rapidity.
Then he walked bacl: to a Sur reporter,
drew the end of Il shoe box from his
pocket, wrote his name upon the reverse
side and sent it to the cashier.
That's my P. NJ" explained the clerk
in answer to Il question. Don't know
what a P. M. is? Well, in the shoe bust
Tess it stands for everything that the GUS
toner doesn't want to buy and the pro-
prietor is anxious to sell.
1.-The two letters are authorizations for
prize mark. Now, I sold that last GUS
toner a p. NJ. I get the prize. She'll feel
like the mark if she finds I lave palmed
off an ancient style Of toe on her.

got a good pair Of shoes, and perhaps she
will never find out about their being a
little off on the style.
I'm the shoe business the greatest loss
comes from changing styles and broken
sizes. The foreman finds that certain
shoes are slow in selling. Perhaps there
are only a few pairs left in a line. Others
are shady on style. He finds more that
are nearly out of season. All these he
adds to the P. NJ. stock. Sell a pair and
a half dollar is added. to your pay at the
end Of the week.
in order to sell p. Ms you must COM
bine observation with memor Generally
you can handle most people in this way:
Size up the foot of the customer and then
mako a mental recount of the p. NJ. stock.
Pay no attention whatever to what the
customer says he wears because in nine
out of ten he doesn't know. Find out
what particular shoe the customer has a
fancy for and then fit it small.
by that I mean keep trying on shoes
entirely too little until the foot gets tired
OF the squeezing process. By the express
sion of the countenance of your victim
you can always tell when to let up. When
that time comes, do your fine work.
''Simply turn to the shelves after re-
marking that there is just one shoe in all
the wide world for that foot. Get the
style you want to sell in the correct size,
slip it on the foot as quickly as you can
and nine times out of ten the customer
will buy IL.
1.-THE foot has been thoroughly wearied
by the tight shoes. That grateful feeling
that comes from the correct fit makes the
sale for you. Besides, there is the dra-
matte element.
"By one tinal diplomatic stroke you get
the customer to wear the shoes out of the
store. Then they cannot be changed and
our P. M. is safe

Selecting Eggs for Matching.

If the lock of high grade poultry is to
be increased unusual care should be ta6en
in mating and in the selection Of the
eggs. For the hens and pullets select
only those hat have laid we'll during the
winter or those that are known to be
from good laying stock. The we'll formed
medium size egg is the best for Matching
and these should be selected after the
cock or cokerel has been with the females
for four weeks or more. During this
period of mating both male and females
should be well fed and have considerable
green food and animal meal; both should
also have opportunity for exercise. AS
a rule the best mating is the cockerel
with the hens and the cock with the pull
lets; in the first case the cockerel should
not be too young nor should he be per-
mitted to mate. If the eggs are to be
used for Matching, unless he Is strong
and healthy. If eggs are to be bought for
Matching it is a good plan to buy two
lots from dealers at a distance from each
other and in this way have a hatch of
chickens not related so that another sea-
son may be crossed without any danger of
in-breeding; of course, the chicks will
need to be kept separated in each lot in
order to be sure of their identity. Eggs
selected for Matching and which are not
to be used at once may be safely kept If
packed in excelsior or sawdust and kept
In a room that is slightly heated; enough
SO that the eggs will not chill.

Hedges for Wind Brakes.

Farmers located on rolling lands, In
moderate climates are inclined to think
that a hedge for a wind brake is a use
less piece of property, yet there is not a
farm in the country that would not be
benefited in som way by one or more
hedges, In the cold northwest aahedge
of some kind is a necessity, especially for
fruit growers, but In other sections there
are spots on the farm where the wind
sweeps in cold weather and where a
hedge could be planted to advantage.
Eyergreens are especially good for this
purpose, retaining as they do their foli-
age throughout the winter. Even If only
an outbuildfng is to be protected an ever
green hedge would add to the comfort of
the birds or animals in the buildings as
well as identifying the grounds. Seeds
Of e%vergreens suited to ones location can
be bought cheaply saI IN some sections
the young trees can be purchased for very
little money. The expense of cultivation
ts small, for none is required after the
trees are rarge enough to cast shade SO
dense a weeds cannot grow. dozen
evergreen trees cost "a or S., more or less,
and set around the poultry house may
mean the difference of eggs or no eggs
daring the winter. Look at the question
