have forgot the tumult of the town,
It's pitiless oppression, its sad Ills,
Amid the girth of everlasting hills
Forgot the lure of riches and renown
In emerald meadow cloak and wood

And in the gossip Of the birds and

The exultant freedom that my spirit
thrills
Quickens the smile and banishes the
frown.
Oh, come and share my pathway! Low

The airs will blow, in most beguil-

Cool aisles will open to lead the wan

Toward heights that step on ferny

Care-the grim Vandal-vanquished
will retreat,
And life will wear Youths radiant
rainbow guise..

MATRIMONIAL ELIGIBILITY.
Many and Various Reasons That
Prompt Men to "Pop the Question"

Many and Various Reasons That
Prompt Men to "Pop the Question"
The reasons which prompt men to
make offers Of marriage to women are
as many and various as the number
and kinds Of women thus honored.
Not alone are the natural graces and
charms Of femininity the foci Of at
traction for the average man. AcQuir-
ed accomplishments often count for a
great DEAL and it frequently happens
that women are eagerly desired for
qualifications, which, while strongly
appealing to those who desire them,
would not in the least appeal to 9TH
ers occupying a different point of
view.
These very general and not alto
gether luminous reflections are sug-
gested by a news item which reaches
us from northern New York of an
avalanche of marriage offers which
has overwhelmed two estimable young
women, the daughters of farmer at
Schuyler They are described as beau
1tiful So far as we are advised, they
are not distinguished for accomplish
ments of the kind which make for So
cial pre-eminence. Perhaps they are
not more amiable, more affectionate,
nor more practical in the general du-
ties of housewifery than others. Their
claim to distinction is that they kill
ed, cleaned, scalded and hung" two
300-pound hogs without masculine as.
sistance.
Instantly an overpowering passion
took possession of the heart of every
eligible bachelor within what may be
called buggy radius The rural deliv.
cry carrier has had to provide himself
with a wheelbarrow to transport the
offers of marriage which come by
mail, and the concource OF vehicles
which is strung along the paternal
front fence every day and evening
suggests that a continuous funeral is
in progress within. Perhaps it is. A
great many nascent hopes of domestic
happiness along strictly bucolic lines
perish in the family "settin' room"
every twent-four hours, and enough
broken hearts are left behind by de-
parting suitors to fertilize the farm if
their fragmeA.s could be composted.
The young women are said to decline,
firmly but kindly" the offers of mar
riage which are pressed upon them.
1t may be that their unique claim to
distinction put them in a class which
makes it an fmpertinence for the suit
or to offer them the commonplace life
of the farmers wife, who can count
upon hog-killing not oftener than
once a year. Their sphere of social
triumphs obviously lies in Cincinnati
or Chicago.-New York Times.

when l thought or all Unat nad Deehs
of how she had proved faithless to
me.
When I had fully recovered my
senses, all my sudden passion had

hatred in my heart for my detested
rival. Gradually it conquered me, I'M

sat on the porch bordering on
this, and then I saw what confirmed
my suspicion of the previous day. l
saw Joan, and with her was Jack
Carstairs.
Great Heaven! the whole world
reeled round me for moment, and
then, with bitter hatred gnawing at
me, l calmly sat and watched them
pass. They did not see me, although
l sat quite close to them. Joan look
ed pale, and my heart beat with I'M
wonted rapidity as I gazed at her
great, pensiye eyes. Perhaps she re-
pented her step, but he looked happy
enough.
Then / got up and walked in an op-
posite direction, until l was on road
leading inland. Here I lay among the
furze bushes, alone with my sad
thoughts All was quiet, save for the
ceaseless murmuring of the mighty
waves as they broke upon the beach.
There lay, thinking, planning,
wondering, and, Heaven knows, near
to weeping. All my senses, all my
feelings, yea, the whole of me, cried
out for Joan, my lost darling.
Then I started suddenly, for I
thought heard my name whispered.
But it must have been the plantive
note of bird that I heard, and once
more I gave myself up to thought.
"Allan!"
There could be no mistake this
time, some one was speaking my
name. AS if in a dream 1 turned
my head and looked.
There was Joan.
Never until I die shall I forget that
moment. The murmur of the sea
changed into march of triumph
played by mighty organ. The vail
ing of the sea birds seemed as the
notes of Orpheus. The yellow bloom
on the furze bushes changed to virgin
gold. And all the sounds that we're
seemed to hymn the one word, Joan,
half started up, but the walk,
combined with the sudden excitement,
had been too much for me in my
weak state, and I fell backward to
the ground In a moment Joan was
beside me, and her arms were round
me.
ooh, Allan, Allan, why did you leave
me?" she murmured.
1 stammered back some incoherent
reply concerning my rival. Wonder
ingly she gazed at me, and then sud-
denly her eyes frightened, and
queer little smile spread over her
face.
'Why, that was Jack-my brother
Jack, from Oregon!" she cried.
I was too thunderstruck to reply.
"And that was all the faith you had
in me?" she went on, gravely.
ooh, my darling, can you forgive
me?" I muttered, brokenly.
And her reply was to kiss me.
1t seems that Joan and her brother
had seen me on the promenade near
the hotels at Atlantic City, and Joan
had turned back to speak to me, only
to see me disappearing in the dis
lance. So she followed me, and the
rest you know."-New York Weekly.

never met, and whom l thought l
never should.

months after our engagement, that
climbed into Joan's garden, over the
fence, in my usual manner, for it

denly / caught sight of figure strid-
ing up the path. In establishment l
paused, and there came a wild, jeal-
GUS tug at my heartstrings.
1t was Jack Carstairs!
There he was, just as Joan had de-
scribed him. Slightly shorter than
was, wearing beard, anr bronzed,
presumably by the warm sun of South
America.
The door was open, and, without
knocking, he deliberately entered.

then-then they were clasped in each
othre's arms.

around me, while a great pain seemed
to tear my heart asunder. Again I
looked, and he was kissing her.
Then, with smothered groan, /

madly away, whittier l knew not, nor

When l returned to my senses, dark

trees l could see the light in Joan's
house, and toward this point hur.

a red glare seeming to burn before

She gazed at me in terror, and tried
to shrink away from me, but I held
her firmly.

grip was tightening on her arms so
that she WINGED with pain, but in my
blind rage saw nothing.
Then, as l looked into her beautiful
eyes, and thought Of them gazing up

A NEW LUMBER VENTURE
Jackson Concern To Have A
Branch Yard at Grenada, and
Probably At Other Places

The Jackson Lumber Company, OF
this city, has purchased the stock of
the Grenada Company, one of the
largest retail firms in the northern
part Of the state. The deal was made
through Mr.. ID. w. Evans, the locad
manager, and Mr.. l.. b. MiZe, who las
been connected with the Jackson Office
for several years, will be placed IN
charge at Grenada.
Although Jackson capital is largely
interested, these two retail establish
ments are directed by Mr.. j. Il. Nalty,
of BrookhaveD, one of the most exclu-
sive, lumber manufacturers in the
South, and it is understood that the
firm has plans in view to secure con-
trol of several other retail lumber
Yards in the state. Mr.. Nalty has
met with remarkable success in The
lumber business, and owns some OF
the finest timber tracts in the famous
piney woods section of Mississippi.

Hired Girl, Hired Nan.

Considerable fuss is made because
an Eastern millionaire has stopped
to marry hired girl living in Iowa.
Why?
The girl must have graces and per-
Sonal points or the millionaire would
not have chosen her. And it is safe
TO say that morally she is his equal,
if not his superior.
There is no STOPPING about it,
They were on level: or, if any
thing, the hired girl was just above
the millionaire.
All of US in America who amount
to anything are hired people.
No doubt this millionaire is hired

Roosevelt is hired man,
And SO are all our senators apd con-
greSsmen and diplomatS-Servants in

And, fellow citizens
One of the things that is the mat
ter with this country is the growing
tendency to look down on the man
who works with his hands, or the
woman who works with her hands.
The tendency is devilish and dan
gerOuS.
Let us learn again that the hands
that are Scared by honest toll beal
wounds as honorable as those received
in battle. The overalls and the ging.
ham apron of labor are as honorable
and vastly more uSeful-than all the
martial trappings and uniforms OF war
Let us learn again that the doctrine
of the dignity of labor is Fundamental
to the republic.
And SO we say, hurrah for the hirec
girl and the hired man-theSe two
who loved each other for what They
were and paid no attention to the &C

mandS, was commented on generally
yesterday by the MethodistS Of this
city, by whom Bishop Galloway is
greatly beloved.
Some of the people of the city re-
member other occasions when he vol
unteered TO do the same thing.
Several years ago when the
yellow fever had Vicksburg in its
{ grasp, Bishop Galloway and his wife
left their comfortable home at Jack
son and went to Vicksburg to nurse
the fever patients.
Bishop Galloway heard that there
was a Salo0nkeeper at VickSburg, a
former member of his church, who
was dying with yellow fever. He
lived in an Out-Of-the-way place over
his saloon, and Bishop Galloway told
his wife that he was going down there
to nurse him. His wife objected. and
in order to prevent him, said: IF
you go, you go without me-" Bishop
Galloway said: Then III go alone )"
But when the train pulled out for
VickSburg, the husband and wife
went on together.
Just seven days after nursing the
yellow fever patient at Vicksburg,
Bishop Galloway was stricken with
the fever, but recovered in time to
continue service to the sick. Jack
