Thirteen ut TnhIe.

The widespread superstition concern
Ing the unlucky thirteen at table, ac-
cording to which one of the number is
doomed to soon die. doubtless has its
origin in the fact that at the last sup
per there were that many persons as
sembled at the table with our Lord.
In that instance Judas IscariOt was
the one who gave up his life, not, how
ever, from any superstitlous notion re-
garding the number in question, but
from remorse at his dastardly betrayal
Of his Lord and Master.

Brass In England In Chaucer's Time

A metal resembling brass, but said
to have been superior in quality, was
known in England as ''maslin" as early
as the time of Chaucer, and in the
reign of Henry VIII. an act Of parlia-
ment was passed prohibiting the ex'
port Of brass out Of England. Whether
the earlier monumental brasses still to
be found in our churches were made
originally in England is not absolutely
certain, the probability, according to
some antiquaries, being that they were
of French or Belgian workmanship

Talk about that tired feeling. but
if the patriotic followers Of the deme-
cratic party are not tired Of that same
old assertion of tremendous gains"
in the next election or in the one Just
held then they are very hard to be
made tired. With the exception Of
two presidential terms, which were
captured by Mr.. Cleveland, the DEM.
ocratic party has not been in forty
miles Of success. The reason of this
is that there have alawys been too
many isms attached to the party. In
one section the party was voting for
this Issue while in another 1t was
voting for some other Issue. II the
party would ever get together some
thing good might be accomplished, bnt

THE SUPPLY HOUSES

Have Run Up Against One of Audi
tor Coles Hand Propositions.
Special to the Daily Progress.
Jackson, Nov 1O.-Auditor Coles
ruling that the agents and representa-
tiyes Of northern supply houses who
are selling goods in Mississippi must
pay state license of $50 has had the
effect of greatly cnrtailing the number
of statesmen, and several Of the largest
firms who have been selling goods at
cut-throat prices and depriving the
local merchants of the business, have
been called in.
The sheriffs have been particularly
vigilant in demanding the payment Of
license since the auditor made. his
ruling, and they have exacted both
the state and county license. A few
of the firms have concluded that they
can pay the license and still do a
profitable business and their agents
are still buisily at work, but it is es-
timated that the number Of salesmen
have been reduced at least fifty per
cent since the ruling was made.
The press Of the state is advising
the people to stick by their home
merchants, in spite Of the induce
ments of tie itinersnt traders, and in
some sections the sentiment of home
protection is strongly prevalent.
