HERE'S A DADDY'S SONG.

"Must all thy songs be mother songs,
My bonny baby boy1
Do poets write no other songs,
That fathers name employ?
Then I'll right the monsterous wrong;
Come, boy, and hear thy daddy's song
But first toss high in the air,
To hear his merry shout,
And then tickle here and there,
To bring the dimples out,
And then romp upon the bed,
Oh, precious little tousle head!
Now, then, wee barefoot boy, take care!
Run swiftly Ger the floor,
And father'll be a bruin bear,
And growl and bite and paw;
Why, bless US boy, what flimsy stuff!
Dads song is rag time, sure enough.
There, now of play we've had our fill,
IT'S cuddle time | know.
GLOW very bright his eyes are stil!)
Hush, baby mine, by-loWl',
Come, come, you little rascal you,
Dads had enough of peck-a-boo!
Hush, hush, my boy, to sleep with theel
q wish his mammal comeD
Thy father'll turn into bee
If longer he must hum.
ALI, well, to lull a child to rest,
A mother song, perchance, is best.

MANY NEW BANKS ESTAB-
LISHED.


The banking Business in the state Of
Mississippi is growing and prospering
day by day. Since the first of
September, 1905, seventeen new banks
have been chartered in the state, and
most of them have begun business.
The capital stock in these banks
ranges from $4,000 to $1,000, 600,
there being one Of the latter class
located at Vicksburg, but which is
authorized to begin business when
500, 900 shall have been subscribed
and paid in. The aggregate Of the
capital stock Of the seventeen banks
is $1795, 600 The banking business is
getting to be very popular in the
state, but it does not seem to have
been overdone,, so far. One Of the
best evidences Of the fact that the
business is not being overdone IL
found in the last statement of the An.
ditor which was that there had not
been a failure in years, and that all
of the banks have been doing good
business, the dividends being very
attractive to the stockholders -

chant vessels also were taken.
General Kuroki with a Japanese

These were the first great land en-

retreated into the Manchurian noun
tains.
Two weeks after these battles the
japanese lost the cruiser Yoshino and
battle ship Hatuze, one being ram
med in fog by sister ship and the
other striking a mine.
The battle of Nanshan Hill was
fought May 26. The Japs drove the
Russians from supposedly impregna-
BILE position, but lost nearly 5000 men
in doing it, the Russian loss being
small in men but great in the matter
OF strategical position and prestige.
Ten days later the battle Of Vafan-
gau was fought. General Nodzu
thrashed General Stackelberg and
drove him north. The Russians lost
5000 men, while the japanese casual
ties were one-third that number.
A Russian force under General Kon-

concealed japanese artillery near Kali

flower has gone from the campus OF
the University of Missouri. For
weeks sixteen rank and radiant speci-

east Of the academic hall, concealing
the ugly outlines Of a bank of earth.

sisted that the neighboring states
flower was not worthy Of so prominent
a position at Missouri institution. 1t
was attacked, moreover, as devoid OF
beauty and modesty. So animated was
the discussion that it finally was APP
