INDIANoLA, MISS. is determined to go on record
as the most hide bound, narrow-mnded picayune
town that ever spoiled good scenery. In its childish
wrath over the Minnie Cox incident it has caused
the arrest of couple of peddlers who were selling
photographs of President Roosevelt and Booker
Washington seated at table together, and is pre-
pairing to prosecute the for circulating obscene

The man. the stick Of dynamite and the faithful
retriever have found their way into print again.
This time horse plays the leading role. According
to the story John Eggert, Wisconsin farmer,
wishing to kill old horse tied stick of dynamite
to it's neck, lit the fuse and fastened to place of
safety. The horse followed, and it was only by
crawling through wire fence that Eggert escaped
death About eighteen months ago three stories
having the basis of their plots the incident of a
dog retrieving stick of dynamite with lighted fuse
attached appeared almost simultaneously in three
American magazines. We note the Eggert horse
story merely to call attention to the variation

The mimic naval maneuvers in Portsmouth
Harbor last week seem to prove that the submarine
torpedo boat is of very real value in harbor defense
Seem to prove only, however, as the condition Of
mimic warfare can never be made just like the real
thing In this sham engagement the attacking feet
sailed close to the entrance of the harbor without
first attempting to silence the land batteries at long
range. This would not be likely to occur in actual
warfare Then too, the destroyers which covered the
advance of the submarines would almost certainly
have been put out of business before they were
within striking distance of the battleships had the
guns Of the latter been shotted But, nevertheless
the maneuvers proved that the submarine boat can
be handled with precision and dispatch and that its
value as weapon Of defense is great. In fact the
torpedo boat, which has been generally discredited
in all it's models since the Spanish American war,
rapidly regaining its former popularity with naval
authorities and landsmen.

religions, for the sciences of which.
i started to write are not that kind,
but | willsay. however, that among
my relatives there are representa-
tives of a number of creeds and so
while Methodism is good for Jim
and Catholicism is good for Sarah
and Presbyterianism is good for
John, it seems to- me that a still
better thing is good sized chunk
OF each and all of them. Yes, in
religious matters I have generally
been prepared to take all in sight
and reach for more mot that I
ever entertained any fear as to my
spiritual condition, or any appre-
hension lest I might be unable tc
procure the best brands of bread
and butter and pumpkin pie in
this world or in any other. And
by the way our bakers here always
produce A l bread.) Speaking of
Theosophists, the first time l ever
attended one of their services was
on certain Sunday on which I
had already attended services of
three other denominations. this
one, in the evening, being the
fourth. This was by far the most
interesting, instructive and to me
the most uplifting of any, and in
fact it was far ahead of anything
bordering on religion that l had
ever come in contact with.
The service consisted mostly Gas
all their services do of discussions,
questions, and answers. The
person in charge was lady presi-
dent, tho the president is more
frequently a man. Attached to
each seat was lead pencil and
writing paper for the purpose of
writing questions, which we're
carried to the president by ushers.
These questions were read aloud
by the president and then answered
by that functionary or some person
in the audience. Questions may
also be put orally. But such
gathering! Men we're there who
make almanacs or furnish the dates
therefor, men who make lave, men
who practically control the great
financial, industrial and COM
mercial affairs of this country.
Collectively those men seemed to
possess the essence of all religions,
psychic phenomena. astronomy,
astrology, the actions, movements,
causes and effects of these move
ments of the planets, the actions
of the elements. the laws of nature.
etc.
Returning to the subject Of
Thought-Force, scientific physio-
logical exercises, the scientific
study of human nature, character,
etc. I wish to say in conclusion
that if I had four years ago, pro-
crossed along these lines to the
point which I have now attained [

A man in South Carolina has
made the discovery that corn
whisky can be made from water
melon juice.
McC2uye,s for March contains q
picture of Prince Bismarck and
his two dogs. IL all but the three
faces were covered a casual OBJ
server would think they were
three brothers.
Why is it that a sudden sharp
pain in any portion of the body
throws the face out of joint? Can't
someone invent a machine to
prevent this? My face was put
out of joint when I was quite
young and / have never been able
to make it look right since.
A young man of this community
has very kindly sent me most
interesting and instructive book,
called Thought-Force. The con-
tents of this book are somewhat
similar in character-in fact are
along the same lines as the sciences
referred to ip these columns year
or so ago. These sciences teach
us how to get the most and best
out of life-how to obtain and
maintain health and vigor-how to
get the most enjoyment out of
everything, how to know ourselves
mentally and physically, how to
increase our mental and physical
strength, how to obtain perfect
control over body and mind and
thereby obtain the best possible
results. They remind us that we
are all creatures of habit, bodily
and mentally. Our characteristics
are largely the result of habits of
thought. We inherit impulses
which make it easier to form
certain habits, and more difficult to
form others and we consequently
move along the lines of the least
resistance; but the character is,
after all, the result of certain
acquired habits. We follow well
worn mental paths, even tho we
know there are new paths which
would be better. We follow along
the lines of our forefathers, per-
hitting our actions to be governed
very largely by their thoughts,
with no desire to think for our
selves and broaden out. We are
afraid to entertain any thoughts
that might tend to upset old cut
and dried theories. While we
should never fail to have due
respect for mothers and fathers
and their teachings. on the other
hand we should not be so narrow
minded as to fail to realize that
there are millions of grand
thoughts Of which they never
dreamed. There are millions of
grand thoughts of which none of
us in our day and generation will
dream. however much we may
strive to think and however much
knowledge we may acquire. 10

herein indicated it is not necessary
to be a crank or damphool; and

there is nothing of the Christian

No NATION has ever been able to control the
newspaper reports of its preparations COM
petely as Japan is doing. An undreamed of censor
ship exists and is likely to continue to exist until

with condition compared to which Gen. Otis's
much denounced censorship free press. No
cipher messages permitted to be sent from Japan
and every letter and telegram, private otherwise
written by the newspaper correspondents must be
passed on by the official censor And in order that
the correspondents may not be tempted to deal in
small deceit or any sinful games while hunting for
news, every last of them is required to wear on
his white badge plainly marked with the name
Of the paper association he represents
There is much more going on in the East just
now than the papers tell us Of In time the true
story of the entire campaign will become public but
not until the Mikado deems best to make it known

exhilarating task of making and contradctng
When the true history comes it will probably repay
the world for its long suspense.

Mr. Stenson is the director Of pomology at the worlds

Mr. Stenson AYERS in pamphlet form that apples cure
the drink and tobacco habits and further depones
that they are specific remedy for the slow morals
which lead to crime" In proof Of his asseveration
he points to Senator Cockrell most moral man who
for thirty years has lunched on apples exclusively
and, with of that false modesty which SO often
besets great men, he also points to himself He does
not say so many words that apples the source

his proposition be true for do not the books say
that to be good is to be happy?
How complex life appears to be and how simple
it really is when we know its secrets From that
momentous dawn ages ago when that which had
been merely an anthropoid ape awoke to find itself
an arboreal man until A. D. 1904 humankind has
CROPPED blindly but persistently for goodness and
happiness CROPPED, and the apples hung the trees
and rotted by the wayside Henceforth Mr.. Stenson
will lead us.
But Mr. Stensons statement as it stands at
present is indefinite and ambiguous He must sup

apples will produce the desired effect Pippns, for
instance. We remember when boy climbing a
high fence and rsking contact with an rate farmer

own consumption. Colo resulted and pains abdomi-

That lets out pippns Crabs, greetings and russets
too are known to have produced similar results in
certain cases. So unless Mr.. Stenson is more explicit
in his statements shall have to believe that he
refers to the apples of Hesperides These, unfortu-
nately, do not thrive in America and cannot be
imported.
