a new fast train service between
Shreveport and Meridian, which

Don't Want the Contract.

The Mississippi Eastern railroad,
a short line recently constructed
from a small town in Sumpter coun-
ty, Ala, to Quitman, in this State,
enjoys the unique distinction of hav-
ing refused to make a contract with
the United States government to
carry the mails. For several weeks
the p~ostoffice department has been
endeavoring to place a contract with
the Mississippi Eastern officials, but
they decline to consider the matter.

Then out spoke JAN, a forward lad,

Can Friendship Be Forcedp

Friendship cannot be forced" is a
common expression. What does one
mean who says this? Usually, that we
cannot force other people to be our
friends. One who uses the phrase in
that way has missed the very idea of
friendship. Friendship has nothing to
do with another persons attitude to-
ward ourselves. We a be friends to
those who hate us. The test of friend
ship rests solely with ourselves. In a
sense, friendship can be forced; for no
barrier can stand against the love of a
friend. Life is empty without friend
ship. Its blessings are open to all who
will accept its high responsibilities

And never heard of turkey!
Then little Feb. began to jeer,
But though behind his rosy ear
A nice quill pen he carried,
He could not make a rhyme for "dove.~
Or spell a little word like love"
And while perpleXed he tarried,
Last in the line December came.
And could not tell Kriss Kringle's

Or even-really twas a shame!-
The mission of a stocking!
The teacher turned away, a tear
Upon her cheek; did ever Year

"Alas, dear Father Time!" she cried,

But, as I hope you've noted,
The children are so young! And then

They've all just been promoted,
And are not used as yet, you see,
In this new century class to be.
I'm sure they'll study harder now!"

Can't learn their lessons. ~welladay,
We simply must expel them!"
At this the little Months, amazed,
Wide-eyed upon the teacher gazed;
Then to their places flying;
Picked up their books and went to work.
With not a pause for quip or quirk;
Their fingers in their ears, that so
No sound might reach them, to and fro
They rocked and buzzed until the room
Was like an orchard full of bloom
And thick with bees. The teacher smiled.
And Father Time was much beguiled-
He laughed instead of signing;
And off they went and shut the door.
And left the little Months once more
To learn their tasks unruly;
And there they rocked and buzzed until,
For aught l know, they're buzzing still
hope they are, for, truly,
II they should fail again | fear
1t would so grieve the little Year;
Shed be very blue Year;
And as for us-for you and me
With half the little Months in doubt
Just as to what they were about,
And all the holidays left out,
AS you can very plainly see,
My little dears, 'twould hardly be
A very Happy New Year!
