CANDIDATE FOX.

Ex-Congressman Fox, of West
Point, who came home recently from
Washington to run for Governor of
Mississippi, spoke to a fair audience
at the court house in this city Monday
evening. His coming had not been
announced until that morning and no
notice of his meeting reached the
country, 30 that his hearers were
practically confined to those In the
city who could be notified by a street
banner carried in the afternoon. But
our people have not before this year
had an opportunity Of hearing a an.
didate for governor speak, and they
were pleased to give Mr. Fox q cor
dial reception and to listen to him.
The gentleman, as he announced,
wasn't In the best Of form, as his cam
paigning Is already telling upon him,
and he was also suffering from q cold.
He warmed up, however, as he pro-
crossed, and gave his attentive, If not
enthusiastic audience q two hours
speech.
In opening, he seemed to be sore
because his candidacy has been
criticised by some Of the newspapers
of the state, and was anything but
complimentary to the Mississippi
press, though his comments or COM
plants because some papers have
seemed disposed to question his man
ner Of entering the campaign, were
more moderate than they have been
quoted in former speeches.
Mr.. Fox said that any reflection or
assertion that he had become q candi-
date for governor at the command OF
any particular faction of the party,
especially the Longino faction, was
false, but before he had progressed
far In his speech, the audience wal
amply convinced that his specia.
mission in this compaign was to com
pass the defeat Of the same man fol
the gubernatorial nomination which
has sent 3 thrill Of horrors into the
souls Of Longino and ali his Jackson
associates, and caused them to groaE
with the nightmare from the day o.

Washington, Dec. 8 sod Jerry"
Smith, who has raised and lowered
the flag over the White House for al
most third OF a century, has been
relieved Of duty.
"Old Jerry" is black, with snowy
wool and goatee. He was brought
to the White House by Gen. Grant
a. his body servant, and, as cook,
he prepared many a delicacy for
President Grant and his friends.
Gen. Grant wanted to take Jerry
on his trip around the world, but
Jerry's fear OF the ocean prevented
and he remained at the White House
as general utility servant.
When the Ancient and Honorable
Artillery OF Boston, With the Honor
able Artillery OF London was here,
"Old Jerry" hoisted the flag with the
union down. This signal Of distress
was explained by him as due to his
age, rheumatism and bad eyesight.
President Roosevelt was exceeding
ly angry. He has issued instructions
that, hereafter, the raising and low.
ering OF that flag shall be done by a
retired army sergeant of the signal
corps and a retired enlisted man Of
the navy.
So "Old Jerry" lost his Job.

The Neglected Boy.
K. c. world.

<. C. world.
A prominent priest of Chicago, the
Rev. Thomas Cox, talking Anew days
ago on the relations Of a mother to
her children, made the startling
statement that many women sacri-
feed the comfort and training OF their
boys, that they might add to the
Injuries OF their girls.
The father declared that the
daughters were pampered, while the
sons were neglected, and that the
great desire OF most modern mothers
was to see the former married, and
devote the wages OF the latter to the
elimination OF her aims.
This statement seems as il it might
be rather startling one, but per.
haps there may be some truth in it.
Mothers may not mean to neglect
their boys, utsomehow girl comes
just a little nearer to a mothers
heart.
1t may be that it is because a girl
Ia more in touch with her mother,
more dependant upon her, and more
pliable to counsel, that she takes
more interest in her Welfare.
Be that rs it may, boy is very
often left TO look after himself, while
girl is watched and tended as ten
derby as a flower.
This attitude OF solicitude Is some
times very marked, and 80 much so
as to make little shavers feel that
they are very small potatoes indeed.

dulge q daughter in a hundred little
trites, in the way OF dress, while the
son gets along as best they can on

The boy generally takes it all for
granted, and never even thinks OF
complaining. He Is 30 used to play.
ing second fiddle that he thinks there
is nothing else for him to do and
never thinks Of rebelliDg.
In thousand and one little things
the boy is made to feel bis nonentity.
II there is company for dinner and
just one spare chair, he must wait,
while sister dimes in state.
II an entertainment is on foot and
only one can go, again sister scores,
and brother is left at home, but il
sister wants to 60 some place and
brother does not, then brother is
made to drag along after her, be,
cause she can't 60 alone.
All these things are supposed to be
a part OF brothers education. He
must be taught to be polite, gentle.
manly and thoughtful, and all the
while these traits are being forced
ont OF his nature by the unfair treat
ment, simply because he is boy.
He must give up on every occasion
when a question of (which" is
brought up, and it is constantly I'm
pressed upon him that these lessons
are very salutary and teach him to
be manly and unselfsh.
A boy of ten is a little cub, gener-
ally speaking, but he has just as
intense feelings and can suffer quite
as keenly as his sister, and he is just
as susceptible to kindness. The
chances are that he will take kindly
to loving and petting, and il he is
