OBJECTIONABLE POST CARDS
The Campaign Recently Started
Against Objectionable Post Cards
IN to BE Pushed.

Washington, Sept. 30.-Acting Post
master General Hitchcock, In a circu-
lar mailed to all postmasters, has re-
newed the campaign started recently
against Objectionable post cards. He
has called attention to the rule which
bars from the mails every card bearing
a picture or language that Is obscene,
indecent or improperly suggestive. The
use of the mails for pictorial cards has
become so extensive that the depart
ment says it has extended the comic
valentine season over the entire year.
Most Of the complaints come from per-
sons who have been the recipients OF
vulgar cards mailed anonymously.

MISSISSIPPI MATTERS

Tho law contemplates that the Com
federate pension fund shall be dis
tributed as soon after Oct. as is prac-
ticable. State Auditor Henry is de-
termined to get the fund to the various
counties as soon after that date as prac-
ticable, but in order to do SO he must
receive reports from each Of the county
boards, as there is no way of determin-
ing the amount each pensioner is ems
titled to till the total number OF PEN
sioners are known.
jackson, Miss, Sept. 20, 1905,
Ny Dear Sir-While the law gives
you till October the first to get your
pension list to this department, write
to earnestly request that you forward it
as early as possible.
A majority of the lists are already in,
and have been compiled.
Owing to the pressing needs of the
vast majority of pensioners, and the
fact that it will be greatly to their ad-
vantage to receive their money before
cold weather sets in, desire to make
the distribution as early in October as
is practicable.
The apportionment cannot be made,
and the percapita determined, till every
list is received. and there is great
deal OF work to be done on them after
they arrive.
/; There will be no delay here, and I
trust and feel sure shall have your
hearty cooperation in rendering this
necessary assistance, and thus insure
the prompt distribution of the fund.
Yours very truly,
%. H. HENRY. Auditor
From the lists received it is thought
by the Auditor there will be an in-
crease of from five to ten per cent in
the number of pensioners, which will
slightly decrease the amount received
by the prorate pensioners.
!, There were 7,271 pensioners of all
classes on the list last year.
The official figures showing the vol-
ume of new business handled by life in
surance companies in Mississippi for
the first six months of the present year
contain q very peculiar feature.
The sum total of new premiums col
lected during the semi-annual period
by the sixteen life companies operating
in the State was S342, 891, as compared
with S342 PIP for the same period, thus
showing decrease of $421.
In spite of the scandals in which it
has been involved, the new premiums
of the Equitable increased from $50, 6S5
to S6l,172, while the New York Life
lost some, premiums being only $751;
OIL as compared with $97 ,252 for the
same period last year.

tentment before Shalem. Bethel un-
attained, and the sacrifices he had in
tended to make there still unoffered.
he sought to find comfort in the erec-
tion of an altar to his God at Shechem.
He would offer his sacrifices there.
Would it not do just as well after
all as if he were at Bethel? Sum-
moning all the family and the serv-
ants to gather on certain day for
the appointed service he prepared to
worship his God. Instinctively he
felt that the influence Of the peo-
pie of Shalem upon his family was
not Of the best, but he tried to per-
suade himself that the building of the
altar and the offering Of sacrifice
would somehow make things come out
all right. But even while he was of.
fering sacrifice and speaking to his
family and servants Of his God, the
God Of Israel, in memory of the new
name which God had given him, Dinah,
enticed by the attractions Of the town,
and finding opportunity during the
confusion attendant upon the service,
had slipped away to visit with some
OF the damsels Of the town whom she
had met at the festival and on her
subsequent visits thither. Sacrifice
and worship could not stay the con.
sequences of tarrying at Shechem.
Affairs by the wayside could not take
the place Of the altar At Bethel. as
Jacob was to learn by the dishonor-
ing Of his daughter and the bloody
vengeance which the enraged brothers
were to wreak upon the people OF
Shalem. With what tragic memories
would Jacob recall his tarrying at
Shechem!

A young man in Wesson this year
presents a remarkable experience.
He was attending school and worked
his cotton patch before and after
school hours. Tab was kept on the
number of hours put on the cotton
and 1t amounted to just sixteen days.
and he will easily gather three regu-
lation bales of cotton. There is no
country on earth that yields more for
a little honest labor than Mississippi
and consolation is found in the fact
that knowledge concerning 1t is be-
coming general.

of an amiable Irish judge, now no
longer on the bench. Among other
amusing tales told of him it is said
that on the occasion of a "bar din
ner' he went upstairs to dress, but
did not reappear. The company sat
patiently for some time till at
length, just as their hunger was get
ting the better of their manners and
an emissary was being dispatched to
hunt up the missing judge, his lord
ship appeared and explained, with
many apologies, that, imagining he
was retiring for the night, he had

which he hurried down to his guests.

Reciprocity,

As the desire to give advice to all
persons and upon all occasions
seems to be natural to most human
beings, the following story told OF
a well known woman writer may not
be without interest: While speaking
at a working girls club writer OF
successful novels asked the members
how much they earned and advised
them to put aside certain amount
each week from their wages. A few
nights later the novelist's doorbell
rang, and one of the members Of
the club presented herself. She had
come to ask what the income of her
late adviser was and to suggest what
percentage of the same ought to be
put in the bank.

Needles In ENGLAND.

Needles were first made in Lon
don by a negro from Spain in the
reign of Queen Mary. He died, how
ever, without imparting the secret
of his art, and it was lost until 1865,
when it was recovered in the reign
of Elizabeth, and Elias Growse, a
German, taught the art to the Eng
lish. The manufacture of needles
was then again lost to England for
nearly century, but about 1850 it
was recovered by Christopher Green

at is an almost incredible thing"
said a man from one Of the big
stores recently, chow often seem
ingly honest people give way to
temptation and commit what are
comparatively small breaches and
yet certainly are transgressions
against honesty.
owe have had three instances of
it during the past week. One lady,
a regular customer of ours, had
charged to her account a brass ket-
tie costing about 81. The delivery
man made a mistake and took it to
the wrong apartment, and the lady
there, a neighbor and acquaintance
of our customer, received the pack
age and kept it. She does not deny
it, but simply refuses to give the
kettle up. She says the mistake
was not hers, and she sees no reason
why she should right it. Of course
we had to right it with our Gus
toner.
"Another woman, also an old Gus
toner, had some expensive draperies
sent to her house on Saturday. The
Monday following our man went up
to see about the hanging of them,
and she told hi0 she had decided
not to take them. When the hang
ings were returned to us they show
ed unmistakable signs of having
been used and even slightly injured.
The papers described that woman as
having given a big entertainment on
that particular Sunday, and the de-
duction is easy to make.
"Still another woman ordered
from our ready to wear suit depart
ment handsome black coat, which
happened to fit her without altera-
ton. 1t was delivered one day and
returned the next. When examined,
it was found to have been worn, and
worn hard, too, as there were

there was a collision, the masters
