 The Tuna plain is like the Palmyra desert at the point where one comes within view of the snows of Lebanon. It is not monotonous; there Is too much play of light and shade for that Everywhere the sun shines. the mirage dances. the white calcined plain be- comes a flock of frightened sheep hur- rying down the wind; the stunted ridge by the lakeside leaps up like a squad ron in ambush and sweeps rapidly along without approachine nearer |.

DEATH OF HOMER c. BYRD.

Again it becomes The Leaders
sad duty to record the death
of one of Brookhayen's young
men.
Last Saturday evening, just as
the last rays of the setting sun
were Fastening behind the hills as
though loath to behold again the
grim spectacle Of Death and the
broken.hearts always in its trail,
the pure and lofty spirit of Homer
G. Byrd winged its flight from the
pain-racked embodiment of physi-
cal suffering, to where angels
guard the souls of just men made
perfect. If love, if home, if kim
dred, if tender association could
rob Death of its terrors, Mr..
Byrd's was naught but a gentle
release, like the going to sleep Of
a little child in an atmosphere of
love and tenderest solicitude. He
had so wished to die; and even in
delirium begged to be assured
that he was in Brookhaven and
with his loved ones.
Mr.. Byrd was born in this city
November 20, 1870; was educated
here, and while in his teens assist

A Novel Sensation.

There was a sensation here this
morning when the various occu-
pants of the big Century building
opened their offices for the days.
work. All of the offices, from
the fifth floor to the ground, were
found to be flooded with water and
the furniture and contents more
or less damaged from an overflow
of the water hydrants in the rooms
of the Elks Club, on the fifth floor.
The damage to the renters and the
building is variously estimated at
from $2500 to $500. The faucets
on two of the hydrants IN the Elks
Club were running full streams,
and must have been flowing for
several hours. The water had
flooded the upper four floors Of
the building, leaking through the
ceilings and overfiowing all of the
floors and apartments on the east
half of the building, running the
walls and ceilings, the carpets and
valuable documents, and the mer-
camille stocks on the ground floor.
Those most heavily damaged we're:
The millinery stock of the Misses
Harris, and the offices of j. s..
Hamilton, A. Virden, DIR. Nc
Cam, DR.. Thompson, law Offices
of Mayes and Longstreet, the
Penn Mutual and the Equitable
Life Insurance offices, g. w.
Mays law Office, the Guaranty and
Trust Company's s apartments, and
the rooms of the Elks Club.
No one knows how the accident
occurred. The Elks claim that the
hydrants were forced open by the
heavy, direct pressure from the
waterworks power house at 4
o'clock this morning, when fire
occurred. The register shows that
a pressure of ninety pounds was
on at the time of the fire. Officials
of the waterworks company con-
tend that it resulted from defec-
tive plumbing in the building.
The EIks Club porter claims that
he left the building at midnight,
locked up the rooms, and left
everything secure. An expert
mental test was made this morn
/ ing by the waterworks company,
and pressure of eighty pounds
put on, which faileu to disturb the

The first few steps through the open

But when we come whore the cross

Scarcely Delaying the eager feet,
Away to the right and left we 60,
And the paths Of each other we do not
know.
But when we walk in the fading light,
And the roads behind as are dark with

The paths that branched take an in

And, at last, as we near the journeys

They come together again once more,
And bring usall to our Fathers door,
When the stream of sorrow and

Bad Little Boys.

We note that quite number Of
school boys, little fellows, some
| of them, have contracted the habit
of cigarette smoking. That they
are well established IN the indul-
gence of the luxury is evident,
because they are bold and careless
as to where they Whit their fufni-.
cations. They will assemble in
groups on the sidewalks. on their
return from school, play marbles
and smoke. It does not occur to
them that some lady will probably
lspend a restless night because Of
| the poison they have liberated to
| the atmosphere she must breathe.
But there is more they do not pro-
perly consider. They have the
cigarette habit. The cigarette
likewise, has certain habits. With
fire at one end and a boy at the
other, it can produce nervous
trouble, destroy physical energy,
cause premature aches and pains,
diminish mental power, detract
interest from school work and
discount the chances for success
in life. IL the parent wishes to be
consistent, it looks like the boy
would stop school or quit cigar
cites. The two are diametrically
opposed to each other. The teach
er has poor chance when the
cigarette opposes him. Winona

Cannot parents more effectually
prevent the forming of this habit
by their boys, than they have
donea The writer once told a
four year old that the eating of
specked apple might cause worms
to grow in his stomach; and from
that day he has never touched
defective fruit. Children are, un-
doubtedly, more precocious than
formerly, and it strikes us that
the best thing to do in all instances
of this kind where temptation
exists, is not only to say You
mustn't do this or that, but to
lay before the little mind the
physical injury that may result;
and, as it develops explain further
as to the effects generally upon the
system. For the child's disobe-
dience to your command, punish
ment may be given; but when he
begins to realize that there are
effects upon his little body and
upon his mind over which you
have no control after he has taken
the Wayward step, he will I'M
donbtedly fear to follow his ineli-
nation to smoke, or chew or drink.
If be does not, the parents duty
will have been done any way in

manner, and there will be no
sence of unfulflled obligation or
responsibility, wherever the lit
