Since 1866, Mississippi has contribu
ted for the education of the negro more
than twice as much as any other StateI
in the Union, and is ahead of her sister
States in her efforts to put within the
reach of her colored population liberal
instruction in the science of agri+
culture. Our gifted John Sharp
Williams says: "The race that is true
to it's better instincts, to its own self
preservation, to the perpetuation of it's
own civilization and it's higher ideals,
cannot be false to any race; but must,
necessarily, as part of its own ad-
vancing civilization, drag the other,
along with it to higher state than it
now occupies.
Mississippi, by the adoption of the
educational and poll tax qualification
in 1890, became the first State to
legally and peacefully eliminate
the negro from politics. The devel-
oping common sense and common
conscience of the people, through the
processes of evolution, will gradually
clear the mists of doubt and direful
anticipation that have befogged ou1
State and Southland
For doubt not thro' the ages one increas
ing purpose runs,
And the thoughts of men are widened with the
process of the suns.
Industrial Progress is now the watch
word of Mississippi, and consequently
is the slogan Cry of the loyal pressmer
of the State-a fact which assures the
world of her future prosperity. Mis-
sissippi was the first State to extend
and incorporate railroad company OF
another State within its own borders
and it did this in its first charter, anC
the first native-born Mississippi Gov
ernor approved the act. 1t is not my
conceded that any State in the Uni n
has granted greater number or mi k''
liberal charters to railways than y
Mississippi; but because of her Liz b

sources, traffic has not been as larkt

THE WESTERN GIRL.
Pronounced Difference When Com
pared with One from the East
Even Though Clothed the Same.

Place the New Yorker beside
typical western girl-one, say, from
Kansas-clothe them in identical
garments, and the difference becomes
even more pronounced, writes II. S.
Garfield, in Woman's Home Com
panion. They may be equally charm
ing, but they are not alike. The
westerner is apt to be bigger of
bone; her eyes will be more widely
open; she will look at the world with
franker gaze; she will be slightly
more independent or aggressive"
more used to "doing for herself"
She will take the rough manners OF
the hurrying men as a matter of
course. No frown will pucker her
pretty eyebrows when she is jostled.
She walks with less lightness and
more sturdiness. She outbreathes an
air of accepting things as she finds
them and making the best of them.
In all probability she is the daughter
of a man and woman who were
among the vests winners. Her
parents found life hard, she finds it
easy; but the result of their long
battle against untamed nature and
restricted social conditions is shad-
owed in her.

brain tissues was issuing from the skull
where the crowbar had passed through
the head. This tool, all besmeared
with clots of brain and blood, was ly-
ing by the man. 1t was an inch and a
half in diameter and weighed 1917
pounds.
Under the circumstances the doctor
decided that the mans wounds were
fatal, and that recovery was an impos-
sibi,ity. So the man was taken into
the house and laid out, after receiving
a hasty bath by the sympathetic neigh.
bors of the family.
Again the next morning the doctor
was requested to come and see the
man, as he was still breathing. He did
so, and at the request of the family
made superficial dressing of the
wounds, expecting that, at most, the
mans life was prolonged but few
hours.
On the following day, as he found
life still present, he prescribed liquid
food by rectal injection, which course
was continued for about two weeks.
After Is days of a semi-comatose con-
dition, the man finally regained con-
sciousness. He rapidly recovered
strength, and, with the exception OF
losing the sight of his left eye, seemed
none the worse for his terrible accident
Finally he drifted westward, where
he died 81 years afterwards at the ripe
age Of 72 years.

WHERE wIDOwERs ARE TAXED
Strange Laws Enforced by n Tribe
on the Island of Mindnnao In

One of the Philippine tribes en-
forces "widow tax" The law gov

er can see.
Marriage in haste" among the
Tagacoalos, of Mindanao, therefore,
leads to very prolonged and literal
"repenting at leisure"
Upon the death of his wife the
widower must pay q certain sum of
money or certain amount of goods
to his father-in-law before he Is en-
titled to look about for an eligible
successor to the deceased. With
them money, as we know, is a rare ar
ticle, and the usual means of barter
is by plates of the ordinary iron
stone patterns. One hundred of
these is considered ample payment
to the bereaved parents.
On the other hand If the husband
dies, the widow at once becomes the
slave of her parents-in-law, and so

comes forward and produces the
requisite payment.
The natural result of this rule is
that all married people are extreme
ly solicitous of each others health
and welfare. In sickness the invalid
is scrupulously attended to by hus-
band or wife, who is perhaps haunt
ed more by a thought of those 100
plates than by fear of a death in the
family.
Divorce they know not, but polyga-

Ants Protect Their own.

Lord Avebury declares that ants
that maintain their sobriety make a
great distinction in their treatment
of the intoxicated stranger and the
fellow-citizen who has succumbed to
his Establishments. He inebriated so
ants, 25 from one nest and 25 from
another, and put them all into the
nest from which one lot had been
taken. The inhabitants at once took
the helpless strangers and threw
them into the water: while those
who were citizens of the nest were
carried tenderly away into remote
corners to recover from their festivi-
tv at leisure.
