STEPS THAT BETRAT.

Steps that are quick are indicative of
energy and agitation
Tiptoe walking betrays surprise. Gu
riosity, discretion or mystery.
Turned in toes are often found with
preoccupied, absent minded persons.
The niser's walk is represented as
STOPPING, noiseless, with short, nerv-
GUS, anxious steps.
The proud step is slow and measured.
The tees are conspicuously turned out,
the legs Strengthened.
Slow steps, whether long or short,
suggest q gentle or reflective state of
mind, as the case may be.
The direction Of the steps wavertng
and following every changing impulse
Of the mind inevitably betrays uncer-
tainty, hesitation and indecision
Obstinate people who in argument
rely more on muscularity than on in
tellectual power rest the feet latly and
firmly on the ground, walking heavily
and slowly, and stand with the legs
firmly planted far apart.

Box Office superstttion.

A newspaper man was the second In
line at the box Office Of one Of the popu-
lar theaters on the opening night. The
first man asked for four seats, and
when he started to pay for them the
man In the box Office said:
"Oh, that's all right. There's 40
charge at all for those seats.'
The man looked surprised, thanked
the ticket manipulation and went on.
Then the newspaper man had his turn.
and he said:
please satisfy impertinent curiosity
and tell me why you wouldn't take
that mans money"
"Well," said the treasurer, II expect
you didn't notice that that man was
cross eyed. If had sold him the first
tickets we wouldn't have had bit Of
luck through the whole engagement

To be great lawyer is incompatible

writer's of em!nerce, like Walter Scott
and Thachcray. who were lawyers By
profession, but they must have made
law quite subordinate to literature, al
though scme Of them, like Walter
Scott, have got money by following the

julius Caesar and Napoleon Bonaparte
were statesmen and generals, but they
were not and could not be poets,
though Julius Cesar was a writer.
Among the ancient Greeks and later
Spaniards and Portuguese we find
poets who were soldiers and even gen
erals. They, however, were not wholly
military. Only a part, and sometimes
a small part, Of their lives was spent
in service. Horace's experience Of war
was very short, and, although he was
military tribune, he was not dis
tinguished soldier. A man may be
excellent in more ways than one, but
he cannot be a man Of genius in two
different ways. a few instances, such
as that of Sheridan, might be given
which seem to be exceptions to the
rule. doubt whether they are so.
The same inclination made Sheridan

INTERESTING FACTS.
Showing the Relation Of the Y. 8 NJ. v.
R.R. to the State of Mississippi

The Annual Report Of Presi-
dent Stuyvesant Fish to the Board
of Directors of the Yazoo & Mis-
isisppi Valley r. r. Co. of Sep
TENDER Is, 1908, shows the total
mileage of that railroad now to be
.1,162.34 miles, or 66.72 miles
more than last year, the increased
length representing the branch
from Lake Cormorant to Tutwiler,
put into service this year. Lines
are also being constructed from
Belzoni to Yazoo City, from Matt
son to Convict Camp, and from
Yarbrough to Swan Lake.
The report shows that since
June 80, 1900, the Company has
issued bonds to the amount of ST.
S33, S14.01, and spent that sum in
the improvement and extension Of
the railroad, and that within the
same time the company has paie
out of its earnings for back taxes
in Mississippi the sum of 1885,
1864. This payment was the re-
suit of the litigation as to whether
or not the exemptions from taxes

The current taxes of the Com.

Since that date the railroad COM

charges for freights carried per
