TWO OF EN-.

The Natchez Bulletin says that it
is reported around Jackson that Sen
ator Noel will Withdraw from the
race and leave the field to Major Var
daman and Judge Critz The Bulletin
does not seem to give credence to the
report, but gives publicity to it for
what it is worth.
We have no idea that there is
word of truth to justify the statement,
but if there is it may be reasonably
and justifably concluded that Judge
Critz would be the next governor.
1t is not presumed at this late date
that Mr.. Noel will withdraw, though
he may conclude to do so, and he de-
MES the report as being true, for if
we understand the situation he will
get very respectful vote and stands
some show of getting into the second
primary. We are willing to do justice
to all men, but it would not be doing
Mr. Noel justice to put out the report
among the people that he is about to
withdraw unless there was some foun-
dation for it. That is one of 'em.
In the next editorial following this
in the Bulletin that paper says that
it is reported that if Major Vardaamn
is elected governor a big sensation
will develop out of the investigation
of the penitentiary management,
which means that the people should
elect Mr.. Vardadman in order to stir
up the penitentiary odor, sensation
of this kind always being of more or
less interest to the public. This song
has been sung so often just before an
election that the people have become
used to it and it is not believed that
they will pounce upon this like jay
bird upon June bug. Mr.. Varda-
man might cause an investigation and
then agian he might not. He might
go down deep into the mire and come
out with nothing but a clean record
of the management of the peniten-
tiary, when voters who cast their
votes for him ON the strength of this
sensational development which would
never develop because of the lack of
evidence would feel like thirty cents.
So that is another report that is not
likely to be true, and even were it
true either of the other candidates
running for the office would as likely
cause the investigation as Mr.. Varda-
man. He is not the only pebble on
the beach when it comes to investi
eating public matters.

The Eucalyptus Tree.

The Australian eucalyptus tree has
been naturalized in California, and there
are now towering groves of eucalyptus
in Arizona and parts of Mexico as well.
The great value Of the eucalyptus lies in
its remarkably quick growth from the
seed to the full-sized tree. Travellers in
Australia have brought back accounts Of
enormous native eucalypts. There was
a record of one prostrate ancient forest
giant Of the blue gum variety measuring
with allowances for the lost top. 600 feet
Such giant would have overtopped the
tallest Of CALIFORNIA; living sequoias
There are more than 100 kinds Of euca-
lyptus which resemble each other. though
differing widely in size. height, general
outline and in appearance of lear and

RETURNED WITH A BARE SKIN.
How Hunter Kept Promise Made to
His Companions.

Once upon a time there was a hun
ter who left his camp quite early in
the morning ana promised his COM
panions that he would return at night
with bear SKIN.
Late in the afternoon bear found
him wandering in the woods and al
once made fierce ATTACK. which was
received with shot that went wide
of its mark. Then the combatants
closed and the hunter used his knife.
There was a fierce conflict and the
bear succeeded in stripping the hun
ter of his clothing. which was scat.
tered over the ground in shreds.
The bear, having received many
wounds. gave up the fight and ran to
hide in his den. while the hunter
limped through the woods to his camp
looking very much like Adam walking
in the garden.
Moral-There is more than one way
to fulfil promise.

abdominal obesity to which they are
SO liable; the second and third are
good generally, because they put in
action all parts Of the body. Walking
up and down stairs will also keep

men, baseball, cricket, football and
golf are good exercises. Indeed, all
the exercises mentioned are beneficial

do good, and nothing is better as a
