purchaser has NO opportunity to ex-
anime them. He must take them as

old and new. coarse and fine. perfect
and ragged. The weeks arrivals are
usually put up at auction on Monday
morning. The larger quantity of rugs
come from the interior Of Asia. and are
brought down to the ports of the Medi.
terranean aud Black sea by caravans
Of camels and shipped to Smyrna and
Constantinople. which are the great
markets. They are packed SO many
to the bale by sizes. and II the pur-
chaser knows the name of the seller
and the place from which they have
been shipped. 1t gives him a slight
basis upon which he can judge as to
their value, but it is always more OF
less Of a lottery. and hence the rugs
bring much less than their actual
value.

fhs orssi. Of the Cat.

Agnes Reppl.er in her book on cats
entitled The Fireside Sphinx" tells
Of the following legend. giving the
exact account of the origin of the do
nestle cat and the peculiar work that
she was created for:
The cat sprang into existence at
the deluge, for during the long weeks
in which the ark ioated v e the
waste Of waters the rats and the mice
increased 70 alarmingly that the com
fort-if there was any comfort-of the
inmates was threatened with destruc-

Old Man Ben PuIliam and his wife
have gone to their rest. says a dis
patch from Uvalde. Texas. but they
will be remembered here for long as
the queerest deer-hunting couple. and
the most successful, that this part Of
the state has known. They were we'd
ded for so years int had no children.
They had a dog. however. a yellow.
discouraged looking brute. which car
ried its tail between its legs and
showed two front teeth to the world
when shambling along. 1t found in the
Pulliams It's only friends.
Where they got it no other body
ever knew. II worked for them more
than a dozen years. They were bread
and meat to it; it was bread and meat
to them. They lived the year around
on the produce of Ave months work.
and this produce was deer meat and
deer hides.
1t was the custom of the Pulliams
to leave Uvalde in November Of each
year. They carried a frying pan. a
Dutch oven. a coffee pot. a few pounds
Of supplies and a tent-f1y. The old
man had a muzzle-loading rifle Of sc
bore. powder. bullets. patching and
percussion caps.
So supplied, they struck out over tn:
prairies and through the mesquite AM
the dog followed. 1t does not rain
much here in the winter time and il
does not get cold.
Reaching a suitable place, with
water near, they stretched the tent,
dy over limbs. cooked supper and
went to sleep. The old man rose early
in the morning. drank a cup of o,1et
and began his hunt alone. He did no
tell his wife where he was going an
she did not care to know.
Two hours afterward she united tn
yellow dog ana 1t took up its master,
track. No matter what the condition
OF the ground or the weather. thi!
brute. with its ugly face and its won
derful nose. stuck to the trail withou

Part of the crew and q few of the
rescued succeeded In grasping the
overturned boat, aud one by one
crawled upon its slippery bottom. The
tall figure Of the captain was seen
helping others out of the water. It
was soon evident that there were
more than could retain q hold in the
pitching refuge. Two or three slipped

the captain rise and wave his hand to
the shore and then plunge into the
sea. 1t was after the two lone sur

He's . powerful swimmer. but no

the weatherbeaten fisherman. grtmly.
But they all waited and watched
breathlessly.
Suddenly the white-haired father
uttered a cry and darted down the
coast. A dark. soft object had been
thrown up by the waves and landed
with a thud on the beach. Winnifred
was scarcely behind the father in
reaching 1t. It was the captain, limp
AM. white and motionless. The old
man was down beside him. chafing h's
hands and calling to him. Involuntat-

wet beach and drew the mans head II

fishermen, and soon they we're reward

chest.
Winnifred insisted ON his being car
ried into her cottage. which was by
far the nearest. and he wal snugly
ensconced In her softest bed. Through
the days following she nurseo him as
siduously. 1t had been . fearful strain
and his recovery was slow. As thu

and SO high . devotion to duty.
Nor had the charms Of this beauti-

thanked her awkwardly for her care.
and bluntly told her he wished hi
c~onvalescence had been Of longer

She dropped her eyes and told him
It had been q pleasure and . privilege
to minister to him. As she raised her
eyes their glances met, and he saw
something that caused him to gasp
for breath and then to say eagerly:

The Press surrenders much
of its space this morning to the
report of the joint committee APP
pointed by the last legislature to
investigate the affairs OF the
State Industrial Institute and
College.
The matter Isl Of deep interest
to the people Of Mississippi, be
cause the Institution is one of
great Importance and value.
The report is exhaustive; going
deep down into every question at
issue. 1t is clear vindication of
President Kincannon and his
able corps of assistants; and this
fact will prove gratifying to the
friends of an official whose wis
dom, ability, acumen and sense
OF honor have won for him such
high position among the people

X. Kari in Meridian Press: l
read in the paper the other day
where visiting preacher SAID in
i Meridian pulpit that a sinner
ought not TO pray to God as
"Father," yet he ought to pray.
I am no theologian, ana am a sin
ner, but this idea promulgated
from christian pulpit presents
d dark and dreadful thought. If
a sinner does not bow before
God as a tender father, one who
pittieth his hayward children, is
he to approach Him as a stern
and terrible judge? l don't be-
lieve it. 1t robs one OF the i'm
pressions made on early child
hood at a gentle mothers knee,
aud in the Sabbath school, where
God s love was taught; it dis
cards the gospel Of loye and snb-
stitutes the gospel of damnation.
I don t like it. We are all sim
ners, and God is all love.

THE CONFEDERATE RE

The Confederate Veterans
who go to the Annual Reunion at
Dallas in April via the Queen &
Crescent Route will be able to
see at the crossing Of Pearl River
in the eastern outskirts of Jack
son, Miss, relic of the late war.
The Railroad Bridge which in
1868 spanned the river at that
point was destroyed by order Of
General r. S. Grant; the piers Of
masonry were shot down to foot
from the surface of the water.
Afterward, the Railroad Co. then
known as the Southern Railroad
built wooden. bridge at this
point supported partially by
piles and partially by timbers
supported by the remains Of the
old Brick Piers.
This wooden bridge has just
been replaced by q firm steel
structure few feet to the north
of the old bridge.
The remains Of the Old Piers
are still inexistence, however, and
mark one of the many points Of
interest to the Veteran travelling
through Mississippi.

Alabama & Vicksburg Ry. "a
