WHAT TO GIVE
THE COLLEGE MAN

The rub" may come to the average
man when he goes in pursuit of fem
mime bauble for his lady fair but most
women believe that IT is twice as hard
| to please the masculine fancy with a
suitable memento at the end Of his col

! He wants something practical. which
has some excuse for its existence. with
out being purely ornamental, No fool

Follow up any particular fad or hobby
that he may have and select something
along that line. If he is photographer
there are good looking leather cases
for mounted photographs which make
an acceptable gift.
For the student, books offer wide
field.
A number Of very enjoyable books on
travel have been especially gotten out at
this season of the year for vacation
reading. These embrace books on an

There are pipes and cigars. dear to
masculine fancy. but girls had best
pass them by and content themselves
with ash receivers and cigar shippers
| The newest ash receivers are in the
form of miniature trophy cups OF Strr

displayed in number of very catchy
designs. An initial or monogram would
look very well on the side. These vary
in price from $3.50 TO s. and so.

planed half-inch boards Of the right
length. with pieces for the ends a ho,,t
eight inches wide. Nail the front boards
over the edges OF the side pieces unless

AUTOMOBILE SUPERSTITION.

The automobile Is such modern in
stitution that it is hardly possible to
imagine superstition being already con-
nected with It. Among modern car
drivers in England. however. there Is a
curious survival of an old bit of folk
lore.
In many cars is suspended perforat-
ed stone, usually a sea-rolled flint with
a natural bore. This stone is supposed
to act as a protective amulet To be
efficacious I'm warding of evil the hole
must be naturally-or. as some people
maintain. Observation-Disclosures rot

Belief In this stones power is wide
spread. IL is supposed to confer safety
on the fastest travelling motor car, and
there Is many a speedy driver who In
his heart ascribes his Immunity from
accidents TO the strange power OF the
perforated pebble

FIGURES OF 1870 AND 1904.

Surely our figures have improved as
well as our wardrobes since the 1880
days, They really must have done so,
for In spite of the dropping fchu and
shawl-like effects, the exaggerated
champagne bottle" figure is seldom
seen today. Talking Of shawl-like drap-
cries these are the chief feature of the
evening dress OF today and tomorrow.
With the fichu draped round the shout
ders, very little OF the bodice IS visible;
then the deep waistband forms n cor
sage, which is in reality the bodice.
How difficult these old-world pointed
waist bands are 10 makei In fact, they
are quite as difficult to manipulate as a
pair of intricate corsets. Yet the whole
effect is simple. apparently consisting C
a flchu and few folds OF stun held in
by a waistband. But the success of the
entire frock depends upon this waist
band.

a LEGAL TANGLE.

TIE Times Democrat Jackson CORE.
spondent says the case OF Tardy and
Dixon, charged with shooting and kill
ing Jesse Puckett In blind tiger To-
Gated on the Rankin county pike several
miles east OF jackson, has gotten into an
interesting legal tangle. After being
tried in preliminary examination in
jackson before a Kinds county magis-
trate and released On small bonds, Tardy
and Dixon were arrested on warrants
from Rankin county charging them with
unlawful retailing. They were taken to
Brandon and convicted on this charge
and fined $500 each and sentenced to
ninety days In jail. After this eonyic-
tion the prisoners were arrested again
on warrants charging them with the
killing OF Puckott and lodged in the
Brandon psil for trial. Judge Powell OF
Jackson, attorney for the accused, plead
that they had been tried in jackson un-
der the statute permitting trial in either
county where victim IL shot In one
county and dies OF his wound in another.
'fhe Brandon magistrate refused to re-
lease the prisoners on an affidavit from
Justice Cade Of Kinds county that he
had tried them and put them under bond.
A haDeas corpus writ was then sued out,
which will ba tried before Jude McCas-
kill at Brandon. Judge McCaskill is
not bound by the action OF the Kinds
county magistrate and will hear the case
dc novo and may fix such bonds Us he
may think just, or commit the prisoners
without bail to await the action OF the
grand jury Of either Kinds or Rankin
county,

STATUTORY PENALTY
Wanted by State Reyenge Agent Who
Sues SALOON keeRers at aulfport for
$4,000.
From the aultport News,

From the Gulfport News,
Hon, Writ Adams, state revenue
agent, has through Attorneys Miller and
Doxy, OF Biloxi, instituted suit In the
Circuit Court Of Harrison county to re-
cover from q. B. Ross and Mrs. Mary
Mcintosh the sum of s., 100000, the statu-
tory penalty for conducting saloon
business without first having taken out
. aFenewed license. It appears that Rho
derrick Mcintosh, husband OF Mrs. Mary
Mcintosh, had secured a license and was
running the Guliport saloon at the time
OF his death and that for two days after
the death of Mcintosh the business was
continued by his widow and f. Is. Ross.

partner in the business before the death
OF Mcintosh. Being sdyised that the
business could not be run under the old
license, the saloon was closed, and al
the expiration Of the required legal no :
tiee a license was granted to Rhoderlck
Mcintosh, Jr., a son Of the deceased,
Who Fszestahlished the business and con-
tinuad TO run same up to his death,
which occurred before the expiration Of
his license, making 1t necessary to again
suspend basinsss pstil new license
could be granted a third party to do
BUSINESS at the same old stand,
The attorneys for the State revenue
agent claim that to have done business
at all after the death OF the senior Nc
lDtosh, under tho license granted him,
was clearly in violation OF the Dram
Shop chapter Of the Annotated Code of
1892, and the penalty provided for doing
SO ia $4,000 per day each for the State,
county and town.
The outcome oi this suit will be
watched With interest, as IT is the first
case Of the kind ever brought IN the
State, and 1t viii be carried 70 the State
Supreme Court, IN the event a verdict
is rendered for the State at the Novem-
ber term OF the Circuit Court in this city.
In view OF the fact that the State has
not lost single dollar thar rightfully
belonged 70 y, II would appear that a
Judgment against the defendants for any
amount in this case would be manifestly
an injustice to them.

LOCAL INVESTMENTS PAY.


The following from the Biloxi Daily
Herald will not only DO read with more
than q passing interest, az it is applica-
BILE to Bay st, Louis, where the "wiss
men" shake their heads, too, and say,
sit won't pay". The wise men are now
saying, the proposed stock ordinance
"won't do", but time will prove the
contrary. There are many business adj
vautages to be found hafsabouts, and
sooner or later these will be embraced,
Some outsider win "drop in" unawares
and make scoop, which will be merely
a matter Of "AistoFy repeating itself".
The Herald says;
When the proposition was made some
thing over two years ago, to build the
electric line which now trayerses this
city from north TO south and from east
to west, tho s'wise men" shook their
heads and said, sit won't pay.
Az frequently hapBeHa, the wisdom
dispensers were mistaken. The Biloxi
Electric Street Railway and Power Com
pany's lines arc an immense SUCCESS
yielding greater returns than the most
sanguine Of its promoters predicted or
hoped. The first cars were run on March
"a, this year, and the total number OF
passengers handled to September 1, was
S2a,s1
To this must be added the transporta-
ton OF cars over the line, to and from
the canneries, and the proceeds from
the city lighung. Anyone can see that
the wise men VINO said, at won't pay, 4
we're short-sighted and In error.
