THE BEST THING IN A
POETS LIFE.

There have been many good things
said of Richard Henry StOddard, the
aged poet, who died short time ago
in New York. He was an Old-fash-
toned man, with Old-fashioned no
tions about honesty and courtesy,
and a nature as fine as spun gold.
And the sweetest story of his life
was the love for his wife. Half a
century ago he married her and for
30 years he made her happy. They
say that true love and real sympathy
speak without words; that man and
woman, their lives in tune. can sit
hand in hand and each understand
the very heart thrObs of the other
without one spoken word. That is
true sometimes. 1t means a devO-
ton that is unselfish and holy.
When man lives for years with
that kind of human comfort at his
fireside, there can not be much in his
life after death has entered his house
hold.
when Mrs. StOddard was dying she
smiled fondly into her husbands
face, touched his haad with her wan
fingers and whispered, Good bye,
dear old pappy. | am going ard you
lIllSJ ldht Cdl e vi ' uut SCH.
He stood by her open grave with
the sun shining in his grand face and
told the mOurners what one woman
had done to completely fill the life of
her husband. After that he didn't
want to live.
You are young. There are no
aches in your bones, no great sadness
in your heart. You can't and do
not understand how human being
can yearn for the end of material
things.
Pray that the day when the sun
goes out for you may be long deferred.
Richard Henry Stoddard survived
his wife eight months and died happy
i'm the belief that in that great mys-
FERROUS somewhere he would again
feel the strength of her presence, the
glow Of her tender affection.
He wrote many beautiful things;
he penned nothing to equal the love
story Of his own life,

WHY THE MASSES DO NOT
ATTEND CHURCH..

There is great quantity OF Yn-
favorable nonsense perpetrated upon
the question why the masses do not
thrOng and crowd the churches
said Rev. Chas. II. Parkhurst in IL
recent sermon. ut is not the fault
of the masses. People will fill the
churches as fast as God fills the
ministers. They went away out in
the wilderness in the days Of John
the Baptist. and they will still track
prophet anywhere"
There seems TO be a good deal of
sense in that paragraph even II 1t is
rather hard ON some Of the preachers.
How can man minister in divine
things unless he is dIvine-fille
1t is impossible to keep people
away from Il God-filled preacher,
Such a one has always drawn like a
magnet. The Baptist, SavOnarOla,
Edwards, Wesley, Spurgeon-these
men and others who have been real
factors in the worlds religious his
tory did not get theiY power from
other men. They got it direct
Many preachers are only echoes Of
other mems personalities, reverbera-
tiOns Of other mems thunder of soul.
They are not spiritual dynamOs-
only dull carbon. The pews are
empty because the preachers soul is
empty.
Bishop Burgess of the Episcopal
church created stir not long ago
by saying the church is too etfelni-
nate. I'VE want masterful men in
the pulpit" said the bishop, "men
who will not be afraid to say what
they believe is true" He is right.
Men know whether or not a
preacher speaks true. If they have
no confidence in the courage and
sincerity of the minister they stay
away from his church and they
ought to stay away.
The man with Il real message will
always be listened to. He may
lack logic or grace Of speech, but if
he strikes a true chord human
hearts will vibrate in unison.
"People will fill the churches as
fast as God fills the ministers.

Population is business. 1t enhances
values, it makes customers for mer-
chants, depositors for banks, shippers
forrailroads and readers for newspapers.
What we have to offer OF property, or
wares of any sort is rendered more va
luable by increasing the demand for it.,
and the humblest artisan as we'll as the
richest capitalist is bound to receive his
due share of the benefit. We sadly lack
the population to give us the momentum
that will make us prosperous and pow
erful in the degree to which nature has
entitled us. The obvious thing to do is
to attract immigrants, and the ways and
means should have immediate and earn
est attention. Mississippi Journal.
One of the "ways and means" will be
The Echo's Illustrated Magazine Edition
which will do more for Bay st. Louis
and the balance of Hancock county than
any other agency has ever attempted OF
win be capable Of performing. This
special edition will be a lasting advertis-
ment and as population puller it will
have no equal.

RATHER WEAK.
From the Jackson News.

Aoih NiiO oaChoO1 NEWS.
After silence which lasted for moro
than week Judge Critz has replied To
the open letter of Hon. A. F. For and
refused to submit the claims of both gem
tlemen to a primary election in CLAW
county. Mr.. Critz says he did not saw
that Clay county was Overwhelmingly in
favor OF him for Governor, and other
wise begs the question.
MT. Fox never thought for moment
tnat he would accept the proposition Of
Mr.. Fox. Mr.. Fox knew whereof he
was talking when he said that Clay coun-
ty was for him. 1t is immater1al to his
campaign whether Judge Critz accepts
or not.
The candidacy Of Mr.. Fox is getting
along nicely. And reports from all over
the State are to the effect that he is
winning votes. The Fox people could
not want a prettier outlook than thew
have now. The Vardaman papers are
trying to stem the tide which has set in
against their candidate, but there is no
indication that they can do so. Reports
iron all sections of the State state that
the tide Is setting in for Fox. Private
letters to the editor of this paper from
the counties in which Mr.. Fox has spo-
ken say that he has made magnificent
impressions and the prominent men who
generally control affairs are for him and
working for his interest.
Vardaman is growing weaker every
day. The people are thinking. Mr..
Fox's appearance on the stump in dis
cussing the platform of Mr.. vardaman
has cleared away the fog which has sur
surrounded his campaign. One GENTLE
man in private letter to the News from
one Of the counties where Mr.. Fox has
spoken, says:
"Fox made magnificent impression
here and even the Vardaman men ack-
nowledge now that he will carry the
county. Before he came here they were
claiming it two to one. You can set the
county down for Fox. He made mag
nificent speech, free from abuse ana dis
cussed the issues of the day on high
plan. The speech that he is making
and the impression that he leaves with
the people is bound to make him Gov
ernor."
This is the word that is coming down
all along the line. Mr.. Fox is sim
ply making a winning campaign. He is
stirring up no passion or prejudice but
telling the plain truth in straight for
ward way. Some Of the friends of Var
daman are now advising him to sink in
minor key on his negro education yslop,
but he seems to be sticking to it right
along, which of course, Will be his ruin
alton.
The campaign, as tits pitched, is not
one of personalities, but one OF issues.
The News hopes to see no mudslinging
In this campaign. Mr.. Fox has pitched
his campaign on high line and he pro-
poses to win out ON that line. Issues
are being discussed in this campaign
and before it is over it will be found
that the people do not endorse plat.
form which stirs up the worst OF human
passions.

AN ILLUSTRATED MAGAZINE EDi
TION. OF THE ECHO.

II affords the management of The Echo
much pleasure to announce to the peo-
pie OF Bay st. Louis and Hancock coun-
ty that it has decided and made arrange
ments whereby mammoth edition of
this paper, profusely illustrated and
bound in magazine form, viii be issued
some time within the next two or three
months, to emanate from our new news =
paper Office building on the corner Front
and State streets. 1t was our intention
some months ago to get out this special
edition, which will be entirely separate
from our regular one, around the holiday
season, but it was found not only i'm
practicable but utterly impossible to un-
dertake so large work in our present
all too small quarters. For, this work.
The Echo has been particularly fortu-
nate in securing the services of Messrs.
II. L. and E. H. Lyons, OF Laurel, Miss.
two young gentlemen who are specialists
In the work, and who come to Bay St.
Louis at our special solicitation. They
will collect and compile the data neces-
sary which will make this edition worthy
OF life preservation and will attend to the
advertising department. 1t is safe to
say nothing of the like has ever been at
tempted in this section. Much history
abounds in Bay st. Louis, it's undevelop-
ed resources are wonderful and as
summer and winter resort it has no
equal. These will be given special at
tention and the city will never have re-
ceived better and more representative
advertisement than this proposed edition
with circulation up in the thousands.
We propose to give Logtown and Pearl
ington as we'll as Wayeland an opportu-
nifty to be represented in this edition.

Taste and appetite

A meeting Of the Mississippi Poultry
and Pet Stock Association directors has
been called for April ID at Aberdeen, at
which time arrangements will be made
for holding Of the next exposition, which
will be the third Of the organization.
Steps will be taken to have a compre-
hensive exhibit Of dogs and other pet
stock, a feature to which small attention
has been paid heretofore. Mississippi
has never taken the interest in such
matters that she should, heretofore, and
The fact has been commented on to her
aetriment. There isno doubt that fairs,
Qonltry shows, colt shows and exhibi-
lions Of kindred character create a spirit
pf generous rivalry that rebounds to the
t9od and the interestof the entire State,
and they should be encouraged in every
way possible.

The establishment OF a bureau Of i'm
migration and statistics is one Of the de-
mands that is being persisted in by the
press Of the State, and the chances are
that the proposition viii be more strong

has discovered that she cannot afford to
ignore those things the stranger most
wants to know. Thousands Of requests
for data and statistics of one kind and
another are received at jackson every
year, but there is no way to get it, for
the simple reason that what is every
bcdy's business is isnobody's business.
