ORIGIN OF BEAN FEAST.
1t Is Explained by an Old English
nan-HOw IA Workman COmmem-
grated u Wo0dmRn's Charity.

Why is a feast without beans called
a bean feast? An old resident at
Woodford explained it to me the
other day, writes a correspondent to
the London Leader. Years ago a
workman lost his way in a part of
Epping Forest. After wandering
about for some considerable time, he
at length heard the sound of a wood
mans AK, and directing his footsteps
towards the noise came across a
woodcutter in the act of delivering
a final blow to a tree. "Fair lop,"
calculated the woodman, as the tree
fell, then turning to the workman,
asked what he required. The man
told him that he had lost his way in
the forest and was hungry and tired.
"Sit down friend" said the woodman,
"and share my meal" at the same
time bringing out some beans and
bacon. Not long after the workman
was fortunate enough to become a
master blockmaker, and to commem-
crate the charity of the woodman he
used to take the workmen once a
year to the Fair Lop Tree and give
them a feast of beans and bacon. The
beans have been dropped, but the
feastS still remain.

HOW NAPOLEON WAS SPANKED
story of How the Famous French
man Was Punished by His
Mother.

just as a man is no hero to his
valet, so he is likely not to be a hero
to his mother, or rather not the sort
of hero that the world knows, but a
hero quite of her w conception. AS
boys, the great men who are to be
get about the same treatment as the
lesser favorites of fortune. When
a story of how his mother spanked
him, relates the Youths Companion.
One day his mothers mother was hob,
bling along the street in Ajaccio, and
Napoleon and his sister, Pauline, fol-
lowed the old lady and mimicked her.
Their grandmother turned and caught
them in the act.
She complained to Madame Letitia
B%onaparte. Pauline was at once
spanked" and disposed of. Napo-
leon, who was out in his regimentals,
could not be handled, for a uniform is
as sacred as the flag.
His mother bided her time.
The next day, when her son was
off his guard, she cried, "Quick, Ma
poleon! You are invited to dine with
the governor"
He ran up to his oom to change
his clothes. She quietly followed, and
when she judged that the proper time
had come, rushed into the room,
sliced her undressed nero before he
guessed her purpose, laid him across
the maternal knee, and belabored him
earnestly with the fat of her hand.

MY WOODLAND PATH.

How well l know my woodland path,
It's greetings n its aftermath,
Its windings and it's vistas dim,
That stretch beyond the forests rim;
Its fragrance in the wild rose time,
Its mingled scent of fern and thyme,
Ihat rise like Incense where l tread.
AT purple dawn or sunset red.
l know its leafy coverts where
The brown thrush and the cat-birds are;
And where in spring with joy are heard
The first notes of the hooking bird,
AND all the blithe bards of the wood.
In roundle. rune and interlude.
/ know where emerald MOSES edge
Its ribboned course through briar and
sedge;
Where partridge berries shine between
The clustered leaves of the wi~ntergreen;
And where the morning sun breaks
through
The cedar boughs to drink the dew.
And there at noon, on languid wing,
The wanton breeze goes wandering.
/ know it's cradle hollows deep,
Where winter long the violets sleep,
Quiescent till the gales of spring
Blow off their leafy covering
l know its restful shady spots,
It's turnings where it runs cross lots,
Meath fringe of wild flowers in the
hedge.
SO well l know its time-worn mark,
My feet will trace it in the dark;
And, from its source to where it ends,
1 love it as l love my friends.
&C. H. Doing. in Washington Star.

"You are the One to look out for
what you say" replied Uncle Fulanp,
having recovered his composure. .If
you do not prove your den%uneiation,
and you can't prove it, | shat. send
you to Jail as a slanderer! These
pumpkins were mine, for l raised
them in my garden of Egiddo, and
no n can prove o~therwise!"
"Now you shall see!" said Uncle
Buscobeatas, untying the handker-
chief and tossing it's contents to the
ground.
Scattered about the ground they
beheld a multitude of fragments of
pumpkin vines, still green and drip
ping with sap; the old gardener, seat
ed upon his heels and shaking with
laughter, addressed the councillor and
the crowd as follows:
Gentlemen, have you ever paid
taxes? And have you ever seen that
big green book which the tax-col-
lector carries, from which he cuts off
receipts, leaving there a stub by
means of which he can tell whether
such and such a receipt is false?"
"You are speaking about what is
called a stub-book," gravely observed
the councillor.
THAT is precisely what l have here
the stub-book of my garden; that
is, the ends to which these pumpkins
were joined before / was robbed of
fhnm Now If unJI DOME Ealinrn -
look! This stub belongs to, that
pumpkin yonder; no one can deny it.
This one belongs to that pumpkin;
this to that one. Exactly! Now, this
belongs over here"
While speaking, he had been fitting
a peduncle, or stub, into the excav
ton of each pumpkin, and the specta-
tors saw with establishment that the
irregular bases of the stubs fitted
exactly into the whitish cavity of the
pumpkins.
The bystanders all squatted down,
including the policeman and the coun-
cilor himself, and assisted Uncle Bus
cobeatas in his singular verification,
calling out to each other in boyish
JOY, There's no doubt about it!
See? This m goes here! No, that
belongs to this one!"
Their bursts of laughter and the
shouts of the grandees mingled with
the whistling of the small boys and
the ~imprecations of the women and
the tears of the old gardener. The
policemen were already impatient to
take the convicted thief to jail.
1t is unnecessary to state that they
had this pleasure; that Uncle
Fulano saw himself obliged then and
there to return to the retailer the
SIS he had collected from him; that
the retailer delivered the sum over to
Uncle Buscobeatas, and that the lat
ter returned to Rota supremely hap
Ply, saying to himself on the way,
How beautiful they were in the mar
ket! / ought to have brought Manu-
ella home with Inc to eat tonight and
TO save the seed!'-Translated from
the Spanish of Pedro Antonio de Alar-
cen, by Edgar Allen Forbes, in Farm
and Fireside.

his convictions, but he is a big-heart-
ed, brainy man or he would not have
dared to have written hat tribute. l
wonder how it happened that such
men as Andrews and away back, such
men as Webster and Hawthorne and
Emerson and Story and Cnoate, could
grow up and mature among the nox-
ious weeds of New England. l still
recall with much pleasure, a good
speech | heard in 1914, at Amherst
college, commencement grafton by
Rufus Choate, who was regarded as
the most brilliant, eloquent and i'm
passioned orator of America. / had
a schoolmate there, and my Boston
uncle said he would go with me, for
he a to look after Mr.. Choate, for
he was IN intimate friend. l didn't
know exactly what that meant, but
found out later. ,
The great hall was crowded with
h best people of New England. My
uncle was with others seated upon
the platform. Mr.. Choate's face was
all nerves and muscles, his large eyes
and mouth conspicuous. For half
an hour his voice was almost a mon
otone with every word carefully and
distinctly uttered, but this was but
the breathing of a gentle wind be-
fore the storm. Soon he seemed to
lose control of his own emotions and
scared away among the stars, and
his features took on san unearthly
glow, his arms responded to every
sentence, his frail body swayed to
and fro and his audience unconscious
ly swayed with him and held their
breath for fear they would lose .
word or a motion.
No, l will never forget that speech.
He stopped because he had to stop,
for with the last eloquent sentence
he became exhausted and was bodily
lifted by my uncle and others to the
ante-room where he was stripped and
rubbed down like an exhausted race
horse. In an hour or so he was re-
newed and revived. This was Rufus
Choate-a bundle of quivering, pas
sionate nerves-whose eloquence no
audience could calmly listen to and
no jury withstand.-Bill Arp, in At
lanta Constitution.

VIII Make the Race,

In recent issues of many. State
papers the headlines referring to the
candidacy of Gen. James T. Harri-
son read "On the Fence" Mr.. Har-
rison's friends have been much pro-
voked over this unintentional injus-
tice. Mr.. Harrison states that he
has already stated that he will be a
candidate for governor, and will an
nounce his candidacy in the early
spring, about April. He says the
present scramble is unprecedented
and premature and thinks that the
people are willing to wait for awhile
yet before making up their minds.

More Mormon Missionaries.

The Mormon church, better
known as the Latter Day Saints, has
sent another large batch of mission
aries into Mississippi, and they are
now busily engaged distributing
tracts setting forth the principles Of
the faith. No less than 100 Nor
mon workers are now engaged in
Mississippi, and from an official
source it is learned that they intend
to conduct a vigorous missionary
campaign in the State during the
spring and summer months. The
work is being carried on quietly, but
the Mormons are getting recruits,
and their converts may be found
among the ignorant classes of whites
in the rural districts, to which their
labors r chiefly confined.

perhaps in the world. The reverend
gentleman is Rev. N. l.. Clarke, who
resides at Newton, Miss. He was

10th of June, 1888, and has been in
the active ministry in East Missis-
sippi for more than sixty years, is

tor of the Newton Baptist church,

country roads to perform marriage
and funeral services.

Personal illusions.

Personal illusions are never safe,
and seldom effective or happy. An
anecdote that illustrates this fact is
that of a solicitor for a charitable
institution who went to a woman's
door and asked her for a contribu-
ton.
"We have" he stated, earnestly,
Hundreds of poor, ragged and vi
cious children, like those at your
gate, and object is"
Sir interrupted the indignant
woman, "those are my own chill
dren!"

Mississippi State News
Couldn't "Do" the Mississippi Pup.

That the State Of Mississippi ex-
GELS in all things good--seven in a
dog"-was demonstrated again last
week at the trials Of the United
States Field Trial Club at Grand
Junction, Tenn. The lavish ex-
penditure of money by the Whitneys,
Duryea's, { Ameses, L~orillards and
others to win the Derby, resulted in
a signal defeat for them, and a vic
tory for a poor Mississippian's
pointer pup. On the first day there
arrived in a special train the
wealthy men of the East, including
Hobart Ames, III. B. Duryea, H.. H.
Sturgiss, p. Lorillard and others.
Their trainers brought the dogs that
were looked on as enjoying a mort
gage for the rich purse hung up for
the winner of the Derby. Little at
tention was paid to a pointer, han
died by a plainly dressed man, from
Corinth, Miss. When the final
brace were started to settle the first
heat the pointer had things all his
own way and by all round good
work caught the judges eye and
won for his owner the title of cham
pion Derby dog of America. AL
fred's John was the name of the
pointer pup and Mr.. Jones hat of
the handler. Jones left his Missis-
sippi home full of confidence and is
reported to have said just before
leaving: "If l win that Derby III
give the church $780," and he kept
his word Immediately on receiving
first money and the trophy that
went with the purse. Alfred's John
is regarded by dog men as a marvel.
He has no pedigree, and but for this
handicap he might be worth thou
sands instead of $500, which Mr..
Whitney's representative offered af-
ter facing defeat in the last run-off.
Before the start of the last run-off.
entertained spectators around the
hotel with sideshow features by
making Alfred's John do tricks that
would compare with similar stunts
accomplished in refined vaudeville.
Alfred's John is also a coon and
'possum hunter, and will ''tree" the
varmints of the woods as readily as
he hunts quail on the ground. After
the easy victory of the poor mans
dog the Fasteners were the first
to extend the hand of ~congratula-
ton. The next move was to pur-
chase Alfred's John for Mr.. Whit
ney's kennels. But Jones refused
all offers and will leave for his home
near Corinth, carrying with him the
purse, pointer pup and $50 prom
ised to the little village church.

No Gold Coming In,

As a result of the rule recently
adopted by the State treasury pro-
vldlng that all incoming and out
going gold payments in excess of
500 must be weighed, very little
gold coin is being received by the
treasury. This is a matter of much
qualification to Treasurer Lampton
and his assistants, as they would
prefer to handle currency or silyer
bullion, and thus incur no risk Of
loss by weight

during the month of January, and

net increase will be shown after the
discharges, deaths and escapes have
been deducted.

I. c. Paid Big Judgment.

The Illinois Central road last
week paid to State Revenue Agent
Adams $569,000, which is the
amount of Judgment for back taxes
recently affirmed by the Supreme
Court. The taxes are against the
Louisville, New Orleans & Texas
and Canton, Aberdeen and Natchez
branches. About 100000 of the
amount goes to the State treasury.
This squares the Illinois Central

Loss of Live Stock.

There has been considerable loss
of live stock in Lafayette county
from the disease known as blind
staggers, which has been very preva-
lent in that section. It is not so
bad as it has been, and the farmers
are convinced hat it has been
caused by the corn which has been
raised during the past year. The
corn did not mature as thoroughly
as it should have done on account
Of the excessive rains.
