A MOUNTAIN DELILAH
BY w. w. HINES.

the detour which the party had made
to pass the home of the Shows and
he was enjoying to the full the look
of despair that came into Phoebe s
eyes when she saw Tom handcuffed
and a prisoner.
The deputies who had made the ar
rest would not permit Tom to talk
with Phoebe, but hurried him along
toward the station intent upon catch
ing the noon train, which would take
them to Lexington, where the Com
missioner would examine Tom and the
witnesses against him to determine
whether or not he should be held for
court. The witnesses would be the
deputies and lack Ashburn, but lack
announced his intention of not COM
ing over to Lexington until later

most as soon as the prisoner.
It was lacks intention to stop over
for the two hours to enjoy torturing
Phoebe with an account of what her
lover would undergo. Dismountlng,
he walked up to the house where
Phoebe and her mother stood IN the
doorway and greeted them with the
conventional "Howdy" of the noun

one of the best and bravest Of all South
American explorers--the Colombian
general, Don Rafael Reyes. Speaking
to an assembly of South American ge-
ographers in the City of Mexico recent
ly, he said:
"In the extended forests in which
cannibal savages were wandering when
my brothers and l made our explora-
tions only a few years ago, there ex-
lists to-day an important commerce OF
some tens os millions of dollars. and
towns of thousands of inhabitants have
been established.
Reyes has never been a spectacular
explorer. He has worked for the good
of his country and science, not for
fame His explorations extended over
a long period of years, and were made
in conjunction with his brothers, Don
Nestor and Don Henry Reyes. They
covered the immense territories which
are watered by the Amazon and the
Parana and their tributaries.
The three brothers succeedede in their
main enterprise-to discover a. water
way navigable for steamers from Co.
lombia to the Amazon, and they also
found many unknown tribes of In
dams. But they paid dearly for their
heroism. Don Henry died of malignant
fever while exploring the Yabari riv.
err. Don Nestor, lost in the forest OF
Putumayo, was captured and deYc,lred
/ by cannibals Don Rafael spent his
fortune and ruined his health. Few
explorers have suffered more than he;
few have given a finer example OF
long-sustained courage and devotion
to his task; yet he Is unknown save
to a small circle of South American
geographers, who hold him in the high
est honor.
Don Rafael met President Roosevelt
In Washington recently, and the lat
ter said to him, speaking of Central
South America:
THAT region is a new world. des-
tined for the progress and the welfare
of humanity"
There is much to be done before the
country is even properly explored, te
say nothing of it's being commercially
developed. The proposed Inter Cont
mental Railway, which is to unite all
the existing systems on the American
continent will doubtless have a pow
erful civilizing tendency. Already the
surveyors for that road are throwing
light on many dark corners of South
America. and when their work is fin
ished and every branch OF the line IL
in working order, the UNEMPLOYED sec.
ton Of the country will be much cir
cumscribed.

Circuit riders took as their text,
Render unto Caesar the things which

arrests and federal judges sentenced
to the penitentiary, but the people of
Clay county went right along making
moonshine whisky and the govern
ment got not cent of the tax of $1.1O

and their grandfathers had made
whisky out of the corn they raised
and had paid no taxes, and Clay coun-
ty is so conservative in spirit that
none of the inhabitants could see any
reason for changing the custom of
generations.
1t was a hard matter to get evil

ALL-YEHR AROUND
RECIPES FOR
THE PINEAPPLE

There are so many ways of preparing
pineapples, yet so few in general use,
that the following suggestions may be
of service:
Shredded Pineapple. Select fruit
that is full ripe-even pines in which
soft spots are found are preferable.
Pare the pineapple and remove the
eyes. Hold the fruit in the left hand.
and with a fork tear or shred the pulp,
leaving the hard core. Put the shred
ded pulp in dish, covering each layer
with powdered sugar. Place the dish
in the ice box. and allow it to stand
twenty-four hours before serving. AL
lowing the fruit to stand in this way
makes it soft, juicy and much more
digestible than if eaten when first pre-
pared
Pineapple With Rum.-Prepare as in
the foregoing receipt. After sprink-
ling the layers of pineapple pulp with
sugar, pour Santa Cruz rum over the
whole, allowing a gill to each pine
apple This will be found a delicious
method of serving the fruit. for the
flavor Of the rum blends perfectly with
that of the pineapple and renders it
mellow as well as more wholesome than
when served plain.
Pineapple Bavarian Cream. The ia
miliar Bavarian cream is never better
than when favored with a pungent
| pineapple. To one quart of cream al

whites to a stiff froth. Sift the -four.
Add the yolks to the sugar and but

ers of the cake, sprinkling with grated
pineapple. which has been sweetened
to taste with powered sugar. Pile

covering the top with the filing.
Pineapple Sherbert-Prepare 1 large

Young Plants

Every farmer knows that
some plants grow better than
others. Soil may be the same
and seed may seem the same
but some plants are weak and
others strong.
And that's the way with
children. They are like young
plants. Same food, same home,
same care but some grow big
and strong while others stay
small and weak.
SCOTS Emulsion offers an
easy way out of the difficulty.
Child weakness often means
starvation, not because Of lack
Of food, but because the food
does not feed.
SCOTS Emulsion reallyfeeds
and gives the child growing
strength.
Whatever the cause of weak
ness and failure to grow
SCOTS Emulsion seems to find
it and set the matter right.

A Picayune special says there
are all sorts of rumors about the
resignation Of this judge and that,
or this chancellor and that. Judge
Neville has resigned, and, it is
stated, but with what authority
is not known, that Judge Lowrey
expects to resign. This report
has been in circulation from time
to time for year or so. There is
also a robust rumor that other
judges will retire to resume
practice. AS before stated in the
Picayune, the salary of a circuit
Judge or chancellor is only So, $50
a year, and out of this must be
paid hotel bills and travelling ex-
pesos. Aside from the honor,
therefore, there is not much in g

Vardaman's Majority Over Six Thousand.
HIS FRIENDS GO TO GREENWOOD TO
CELEBRATE.
LeflOre Candidate Issues Card Of Thanks
to White Democrats.

Greenwood, Miss, Aug. 49,
Greenwood is celebrating the
nomination of j. K. Vardaman for
Governor. The celebration began
yesterday, and tonight it is being
continued in great shape. The
whole State is joining in the jubi-
lee. Every train which has ar
rived to day has brought in prom
inent men from all parts of the
State, who were anxious to per-
: sonally extend their congratula-
tons to the man from LeFlore,
land tonight special train reached
the city from Jackson, bringing
between 900 and 700 enthusiasts
who have gathered to pay their
respects to the nominee. They
came with brass band and fire
works, and tore the town wide
open on their arrival.
There has been a continuous
meeting in progress at the Green
wood Opera House all day, speak
ers of note addressing the Var
-daman celebration. ato r
Money, who spent the day here,
was one of the speakers this after
noon.
The meeting tonight, which was
held upon the arrival of the special
train from Jackson, was called to
order by Hon. Chalmers H. Will
hanson, of Kinds county, who
congratulated the people of Mis-
sissippi upon their choice. Other
speakers were ex-Attorney Cen
eral Monroe McCIurg, Attorney
General William Williams, who
has been nominated to succeed
himself; Joe George and Mayor
Hemingway, of Jackson. Major
Vardaman was forced to make a
short address. He spoke of the
obstacles which had confronted
him in his race, and said that his
highest ambition was to be worthy
of the confidence which the people
of the State had reposed in him.
He said that he would take the
gubernatorial chair unhampered
by promises. He had not a friend
to reward or an enemy to punish
at the expense of the State.
Major Vardaman today received
congratulatory messages f r O m
every State in the Union upon
his nomination. He must have
been the recipient during the day
of at least 500 kilograms. To
night he issued the following
signed statement for publication
ITO the White Democrats of
Mississippi: While the result of
the primary of the 9th inst. has
not been announced, it is apparent
from the returns that | have been
nominated by majority of not
less than 1000 votes. | take this
method of expressing my graft
tude to the friends who, like the
Old Guard, have stood so Loyalty
by me in the very vortex of
calumny, vituperation and mis-
representation which has charac-
terized the campaign just closed.
1t has been a hard fought battle;
every inch of ground has been
stuobornly contested, but my
friends have won a great victory.
To them all the credit is due. Ii
shall be able to prove myself
worthy of their esteem and conf
dence shall be satisfied. God
bless them.
