had been employed in the Tom
bigbee Mills in this city, died

and his loved ones and skilled

The body was carried to his
old home at Brooksville on the

complained by several of his
friends here. The DISPATCH ex-

From Sundays Paper.
Out of the Race.

Hon. Fuller Fox has retired
from the Gubernatorial race.
This information was received in
this city last Friday. His re-
tirement is placed on the grounds
of pressing professional business
and poor health
The announcement created a
sensation in this city and i'm
mediately there was a new align
ment of political forces. The
Vardaman crowd claim the cleo
ton of their man on the first
ballot while Noel's followers
claim that he will be logically
strengthened by Mr.. Fox's re-
tirement.
It seems to be the general
opinion that the line of division
between Fox and Critz had been
so closely drawn that Critz will
get little of the Fox following
over the State.
Vardaman 5 friends are jubi-
liant and claim that the retire
ment of Mr. Fox. said to be the
ring candidate, is an admission
that Vardaman can not be kept
out of the governors place.

The Senatorial election is in
creasing in interest and from
the mild speeches made in this
city few weeks ago quite a de-
parture has been made, Senator
Money openly attacking Gov.
Longino's position towards the
republican party in this State.
Last Wednesday at Hattiesburg
he punctured the Governor s in
dustrial development claim for
Mississippi and referred to his
brOther-in-law's connection with
the republican administration in
the following: He said there was
race question and he was proud
of it; that social or political equal
ity was out of the question, nor
negro appointments to Office to
be permitted without a protest.
He referred to the IndianOla
pOStOffice affair and said he was
surprised that his opponent, the
governor, had never condemned
the affair; that the governor s
brOther-in-laW, the Republican
referee, had taken some interest
in the matter and had asked the
president to stand by Minnie. :"
He said that it was fortunate for
the State, for it's wonderful and
industrial progress, that the gov
ernor had been permitted to live
to have such achievements under
my" (Gov. Lougino's) admins
tration- However, he would call
attention to the fact that indus
trial development had occurred
in a large degree in all Southern
States and all over the country,
owing to the increase in money
supply"

You have deposit of nervous energy
placed to your account in the bank Of
your body. Il may be large, in which
happy case you are a millionaire in
strength and accomplishing power. Or
1t may be so microscopic as to need
careful outstanding and little eXpendf-
ture to keep it from dwindling out al
together.
But many millionaires become paul
pers and some "dime savings" swell
into millions. 1t depends upon tha
way the capital is managed. You may
think you have so much that there is
no need to me economical. You get
up in the morning and feel the blood
bounding through your veins like
mountain cataracts, and you think you
can turn the mill wheels of the world.
You work day and night, or you
play day and night. which is some.
times more exhausting. and go at the
limit of your speed all the time. You
are overdrawing your bank account of
energy, and that needlessly. for you
probably have enough to last a long
and useful lifetime. 1t pays to sit down
and sharpen your tools, and it adds
cent per cent to your body bank de-
post.
Another with not half your brains
or hustle will get ahead of you in the
end, for he makes every act, every
thought, go straight to the mark. He
wastes no effort. Everything he does
means something; it helps toward
some given end. You spend great
deal Of ammunition on your quarry be.
cause you are over-anxious. He keeps
cool, takes steady aim and wings his
bird
You get wrinkles and frost-tipped
temples and become a bankrupt in
vitality when you should be in your
prime. You have overdrawn the best
and most valuable bank account the
Lord ever placed on the books of life
the ability 'to love and to work and to
play and to look up at the stars."-

Bnbies Kent in the Oven.

That an oven may make good baby
incubator has been proved by the fact
that the twin babies of Mr.. and Mrs.
J. w. Simmons, Of Des Moines, Iowa.
have been kept in an oven for a period
of three weeks during which their
little lives seemed to hang by thread.
The infants We're born three weeks
ago. One weighed three and half
pounds and the other three pounds,
and each was twenty-SiX inches long.
Both are girls.
At the time of their birth the physi-
clans said they considered it impossible
for the frail little bodies to be kept
alive, although it might be possible
with the aid of an incubator for sew
eral weeks to nurse them until they
could gain more vitality.
The oven of large range was i'm.
mediately converted into an incubator
and the little girls grandmother took
charge of the funny baby house. With
constant watching the heat was kept
uniform.
The infants were kept in basket
in the oven for three weeks. and are
now in healthy condition. New

Queens. of course. need not trouble
themselves about the latest mandate Of
fashion, as whatever royalty wears is
the fashion; but few smart English
women would care to copy the EN-
press Of Germany in the matter of
dress. Her royal highness pays much
regard to what will stand wear and
tear, and has a comfortable indiffer-
<tnce to lovelipess. The Empress of
Russia is perhaps the most splendidly
\dressed woman in Europe; her furs
alone are said to be worth fabulous
sum of money. Our own Queen is
somewhat severe in her style of dress,
but what she wears entirely suits her
and always looks pretty. Queen Amelie
of Portugal possesses a distinct genius
for dressing prettily, and can make the
uglest costume look charming by a
few touches.-London Taller.

peared, and on such costumes the
flounce is used. The gored skirt with

EOr Sleepless XEnmen.

The woman who cannot sleep is al
ways Il nervous subject. She should
religiously take enough physical exer-
else each day TO induce healthful IA
tigue. She should eat simple, easily
digested food. avoiding tea and coffee
later than her breakfast hour. Many
women declare that tea and coffee
have no effect upon their nerves. |
know they are mistaken, Tea and
coffee are excellent cXcitants and enc
lies of sleep. The insomnia victim
may be lulled to rest by gentle mas
sage-the hypnotic stroke will often
act as magical sleep inducer. Some
times rub with hair friction gloves
will induce sleep. A tepid bath taken
just before retiring has a sedative ef-
feet. But a hot bath is stimulating
and should not be taken at night by
nervous subjects.-New York Times.

The elaborate bindings which char
acterize the hundreds of --latest" books
continually on the market have forced
book buyers, If only to be consistent,
to give their library a proper setting.
With comparatively little trouble you
can fix up beautiful little corner for
your books, which you will find the
most restful and delightful room in the
house.
In the first place soft shade of old
blue in raw silk will give you beautiful
curtains for your book shelves. Run
at the top of the curtain without up
standing ruffie. Chinese wares in blue
and white, exquisite grees and strong
yellow make lovely bits of color as
vases. Search the Chinese and Jap
anese stores for your large vase, and,
if possible, place it on stand of carved
teakwood.
An Egyptian jar of figured brass
makes a charming jardiniere to drop
a potted plant in. Such piece as this
should have an Oriental taborette un.
der it. Raw silk curtain over Arabian
net would give you pretty window
draperies. In this case the Arabian net
with border and perhaps inserting
hangs straight and slightly full next
the window, over curtains of blue; raw
silk can then be draped back if you so
desire.-New York Journal.
