exceeding far what has occurred IN
other similar period in our history,
thus attesting stable confidence III
our resources, the justice and liber-
ality of our laws, and the integrity of
our government while firm and just
administration of our criminal laws,
melting out through the courts the
same exact justice alike to the highest
and the humblest without regard to
rank or wealth, has enthroned the
law in the confidence of all classes Of
society, until mob rule-that blot
alike on northern as we'll as southern
clvilization-ha almost disappeared
from our borders.

upon this record of events to prove
the progress of Mississippi during the
three years of my term as governor.

tion and impartial Judgment, and if
the humble part played therein by me
meets with your approval, | offer it
now as pledge and guaranty that if
chosen for the senate shall continue

federal interests and the peace and
prosperity of my native and beloved
state, holding unfalteringly to the
high ideals of the old days which
crown the south with glory and fame.

MUCH UNEASINESS
Expressed Over the Flood Situa-

Sippi District.

Special to the Daily Progress.
Jackson, March Z. Governor Lon
gino has received letter from Major
T. G. Dabney, chief engineer of
the levee board for the Yazoo- Mis-
sissiappi district, in which he express
ses much uneasiness over the food
situation, and fears that a general
overflow will occur if the volume of
water now approaching is supple
mented by further rainfall. Major
Dabney believes, however, that the
great amount of work in strengthen
ing the levees on the Mississippi since
1897 will throw the volume of water
on the Arkansas side, and thus protect
the farmers of the delta.

STOPPING THE STREET CAR.
By Lue Vernon.

BY Lue Vernon.
There are many ways of stopping
= street-ear besides throwing dersil-
ing switch or soaping the track, but
just how much the ways vary is never
more apparent than to the front plat
form passenger. Of course, the main
business of the motorman is to show
up at the power house on schedule
time, but in the intervals of doing
this to the satisfaction of the COM
pany, he is allowed to pick up few
stray passengers and set them down
in some sort Of shape within q block
at least of their crossing. All the
would-be passengers have to do is to
stand on the street corner and slightly
lift hand 1t him, or nod their heads,
and he will do the rest; no need to
smile, or bow, or make faces. or yell,
or swear, or tear the hair, or throw
things; if he is going to stop he will
stop, if he isn't he won't.
In signaling car the elderly man
no man is old who can still get
about-waves his stick impressively,
or lifts his hand solemnly, as if being
sworn in on jury, or else trots gentle
to see if his feet are still in work
ing order, and eyes tho hsnd-rail
intently, and the motorman, if he is
At all bright, knows just what to do.
Tho elderly woman-no woman 10
old who can still dress herself-stsnds
on the curbing and holds out her
hand bag as if it were . mail-pouch
for the fast-mail train, and she, too,
gets taken on.
The stout man-no man is fat who
can wear a standing collar-lifts An
arm heightened into prominence by .
rolled up newspaper and waves it like
a policeman's club, while the thin
man, and many another, raises hand
on high and brings it slowly down, as
it directing q switch engine in COUP
ling cars.
The fat wOman-n0 woman is fat
who can lace her own shoes-jerks her
| head backward (she cannot nod) or
else lifts her parasol slightly, but she
makes no such demonstration as does
the thin, nervous woman, who waves
her arms frantically rs if msrooned
on floating hOusetop.
The only signal the average young
man gives is to settle his hat and be.
gin backing along the street, and when
the car arrives he just gets on-not
under, or he lets other people get on
and then makes an airy leap for the
receding footboard and gets it-or q
judgment.

1 ing on the corner and the motorman,

otherwise all was calm.
In the little church, Missus Peggins
was endeavoring to control her class

talked sweetly TO one lad, the other
nine would be looking out of the win

"Now, boys" said Mrs. Peggins.
" Now, boys. do, please, be nice and

like to believe you are."
Yes'm."
But the fidgeting was resumed.

with one hand on brakes, looks criti-
cally at them TO see if they want the
car, and they do, but carefully hide
the fact from him, and the next
motorman gets a surprisingly vigorous
signal from each, and some OF them
take passage with him after elaborate
and time-consuming good-byes.
The near-sighted man stands square
ly in the street and waves bis UNI
brella benignly, as if leading an Or
chestrs, until the car, or its fender,
picks him up, while the near-sighted
woman stands SO near the track she is
nearly drawn under the wheels.
The thoughtless woman steps down
into the street, and when the car
comes to a standslill she calmly walks
behind it and goes away, or else she
wants it but neglects the small for
mality OF letting the motorman know
it, and he leaves her behind, which
makes her real mad.
Two women stand chatting on the
corner, and the one facing the car is
bowing and smiling, and the motor.
man knows the smile is not for him,
but the bow may be, and stops to see
and finds it isn't, or else the bow is
meant for him, but he doesn't find it
out till long past the crossing. If
timid, he just goes right on. but if
bold he stops and presently hears
something.
Knowing people stand on the cor
ner until the car approaches, when
they step into the street and raise a
hand slightly, and the motorman
knows they elect to ride with him
and stops, or else sails by with clang-
ing gong, as ii just trying out his new

behind other cars and get right on the
track, which effectually stops the Car

leaving it, too. The wise usually
mention the name of the street or nod
to the conductor who stops the Car at
the proper crossing.
But the unwise wait until it slows
up before starting for the door, and
the full-stop finds them in the aisle
and does things to them. even if moth.
ing more serious than making them
trot foolishly along. Some over-cau.
tious people keep their seats until the
car stops stock still, and maybe they
get off at the next block in conse-
quence.
The careful ones give the motor
man warning in time and he hits tn e
crossing just right, while the careless
ones delay too long and get set down
just anywhere, and blame tho con.

THE FRIED AND LUSCIOUS CLAM.

By LIE VERNON.
You may talk about the gold mines
Away up north in Nome;
You can tell me of the perfumes
That come from DER the foam:
You may tell Of costly jewels
The ocean-tranquil, calm;
But give to me, o, give me
The
luscious
clam.
You may tell me of your pork chops,
The sausage, tripe. and veal;
The steak-mushroom, and sweetbreads,
That make you such meal;
You can talk about your lamb-fry,
Sweet potatoes, pOssum, hahn
But To he they are as nothing, beside,
The
fried
clam.
You can tell me of the oranges
That grow in the Golden State;
You can talk about bananas,
Watermelon, fig, and date;
You may tell of peaches, cherries
OF marInalades, of jam;
Yet to me they are back numbers, beside
The
fried
luscious
clam
You may talk about the finny tribe.
The halibut, sole, and cod;
Spreckled beauties in mountain stream,
Caught with line and roc;
You can tell me of your salmon,
The eels served in JAPAN
But to me they have no favor like
The
luscious
clam.
You can tell me of the turkey,
Pheasant, chicken, and the goose;
OF quail, and grouse, and venison,
Your elk, bear-meat, and moose;
You can talk of delicious caviare,
Canned beef Of Uncle SAM"
Still, to NE, they are not in it, with
The
fried
luscious
clam.
You may talk about your frogs-legs,
Shrimp, crab, and rerrapin;
You may tell me of the oyster.
How you eat them, is a sin;
You can talk about the lobster,
Turtle soup, which folks salaam;
But to me they give no pleasure. like
The
fried
luscious
clam.
So when the twilight shadows fall
And the stars begin to peep;
Do not grumble at the world
Or Of your troubles speak;
You'll tn ink lite worth living,
You will love your fellow man,
II you'll order up for supper
The
Fried
and
luscious
clam.

He had carefully prepared the small
garden plot, while his wife, deeply
interested in his labor, stood watching
him. After he had put in the seeds
and smoothed over the bed, his wife
took his arm to accompany him to
the house, and on the way she asked
"When will the seeds come up,
John?"
He was one OF those men who take
pleasure in saying smart things when
opportunity offers, 90 lying his hand
caressingly on her shoulder, he said:
"I don't expect them to come up
at all, Emma"
You don't" she exclaimed, "then
why have you gone to all that trou.
ble?"
With the smile that springs from
superior knowledge, he answered:
1.-THE seeds won't come up, but the
flowers will, by-and-bye."
But he was wrong, for his neighbor's 8
chickens got into his garden that day,
and the seeds did come up.
