STATE INSTRUCTED FOR PARKER
mississippi Democratic Convention Unanimously Insructs
Its Delegates to the National Convention

Percy of Washington county, objected
lust before adjournment and moved 6
reconsideration, making a stronz ap.
peal in that direction. He was con
ylnced the convention had better have
nc Instructions at all than instruc-
tions with a string tied to them, and
which sounded as il the Democracy
OF the State believed there was no
chance for the nomination of judge
Parker. There was no doubt that
Mr.. Percy 's-speech made deep i'm
preston on the Convention, and had
the question been put immediately
| after he took his seat, e proviso
would have been eliminated. But
Senator Money, the author of the
poyiso, spoke earnestly in favor of
retaining it, declaring it COM
promise between the two factions Of
the party the friends Of Parker who
wanted instructions, and those op-
posed to instructions. He found there
were a great many delegates, him
sell among the number who did not
want any instructions at all, and it
was in Difference to their views that
the committee had determined to use
an olive branch. He declared he was
a Parker man, but not Parker's man,
and did not believe the proviso weak
ened the resolution at all. John
Sharp Williams spoke to the same
effect, and appealed for the sake of
harmony to Mr.. Percy to withdraw
his motion, which he did in short
but patriotic little speech, and the
convention adjourned in the very best
of humor, satisfied that it had done
great days work.

WASHINGTON PIE.

A stranger in Boston was interested to dis
cover. when dining with friends once, that the
dessert which he would have classed as cream
layer cake at home was known in Boston as
Washington pie" And the next time he
lunched at a restaurant he ordered the same
thing, but the waiter put before him a rather
heavy looking square of cake covered with
chocolate. instead of the cream cake the guest
had made up his mind to enjoy. A puzzled
preston came over his face aS he said reprOv-
ingly. II ordered Washington pie. waiter!'

GOOD OF BEING CHEERFUL.
There Is a Wealth of Comfort in Show
ing to the World tAe Bright
Side Of Things.

A sunny disposition is q work Of art
rather than a gift Of nature. The raw
materials for cheerfulness lies al
around US like the colors the artist com
bines in his painting. It is for us 70 re-
combine them. To achieve q serene
point Of view Is just matter Of selec-
ton. One becomes proficient optimis&
Il the same way that one becomes
proficient story teller. He selects and
works over the things that produce the
effect he designs; what conflicts with
the effect he ignores or treats only as q
shading, says the New York Mail.
How anyone can deliberately elect to
look on the dark side Of things. except
as pose, an attitude, sort Of gloomy
smartness. passes the understanding.
An ugly or respondent temper is as in
artistic as deliberately ugly painting
or dull and repulsive story, and you
come by it in somewhat the same man
ner. 1t is matter of deliberate selec-
ton. Now and then q misanthrope
gives his own bile concrete embodiment
by erecting a building designed to
worry his neighbors through the sheer
malice OF its ugliness. There is as lit
tie justification for sour disposition
as there Is for such manifestation Of It.
1t involves degree of perverse premed-
itation.
There is wealth Of comfort in the
old maxim, 1.-THE world Is wide" That
Is simply to say that it offers a limitless
held Tor selection. II one fact 10 black,
another Is bright. If friend Is false.
somewhere true friends are awaiting
your coming. To sit in a dark corner
while bright life Is everywhere about
you; to brood over sorrow, slight, q
privation, when multitude Of good and
generous and hopeful deeds illustrates
the daily life Of the world; to rage at
the limitations of your own estate when
you can make your spirit sympathet ical-
~ master of everything-this is to de-
clare an indolent and wallowing spirit.
1t Is form of voluntary servitude to the
powers of darkness.
