WAS A CHEEKY DEMAND.

Clarion Ledger: The Portsmouth
conference pales into insignifcance
when compared with one that took
place near Bovlna Saturday afternoon
between Governor Vardaman. Secre-
tary Hunter and one or two other
health officers from this city on the
one side, and about twenty Vicks-
burgers on the other.
The Vioksburg delegation was head
ed by Acting Mayor Harding, Chief
Health Officer DR.. HARRISON. Surgeon
Guiteras, Supt. Ford, of the Alabama
and Vicksburg Railroad Company, and
others.
According to one of the gentlemen
from jackson Governor Vardaman was
called on to preside over the confer
ence, and DR.. HARRISON stated the OBJ
ject of the meeting. He wanted five
thousand dollars from the state to
fight the fever proposition in V1cks-
burg and he and Surgeon Guiteras
thought it would take as much as ten
thousand dollars, or ten or fifteen dol
lars per house.
The governor could not see it that
way. and told him so very positively.
The Vicksburgers were advised to
borrow money like other towns were
doing and fight their own battles.
Natchez has never called on the
state to help her with guarantees and
burning sulphur has any
other town SO far as has been made
public.
The Vicksburg proposition struck all
the Jackson crowd as preposter Gus,
and mortified some of the Vicksburg
ers.
Supt. Ford is said to have told
them if he had known that was what
they were after he would not have
furnished the car to haul them out to
the conference grounds. He believed
the houses of Vicksburg could be
fumigated for so cents each, and was
ready to take the contract at thai
price.
Z The matter was discussed at some
length and the state finally agreed to
stand for about six hundred dollars Of
the expenses OF the Vicksburg quaran
tine, having it distinctly understood
just. how many men were to be EN-
ployed, and the stipend that was to be
paid each.

when thornS pierce US, shadows gather
over US, then we turn memory'S pages
and feel that if we only had mother back
how many rays of sunlight we would
bring into her heart. So many kind
nesses we might have shown her if we
had only known she was going away so
soon to return no more. How often these
thoughts will pass through your mind
after your sweet old mother leaves you,
if she has not even now passed over the
Dark River.
yet oft as look backward Der the long,
long waste of years,
My heart is filled with sudden pain, nv
eyes grow dim with tears,
AS recall with vain regret and many a
secret smart;
How oft in times of WayWardness | grew
ed her tender heart.
While these thoughts come our mothers
tender love comforts. We feel that while
we have grieved her many times, her love
wrapped the mantle of charity about
us. This is comfort. To those who are
blessed with mother let us beg that you
treat her with the tenderest care. For no
matter how you treat her when she leaves,
you will feel many regrets.
If you ask child where home is he
would say where mother is. Home of our
childhood, where mother reigns queen,
soothes our heartaches, ministers to our
needs, protects us from the blasts of life.
This is home on earth. But we must
strive to secure the home ''where they
know not the sorrow of time" Home
beyond the dark river of death, where no
sweet ties are severed, no tears there, no
farewells spoken, with God the Father,
| God the Son, our savior, our mother and
father, brothers and sisters, all there, in

LIKE MOTHER LIKE CHILD.

Children are very observant and even
the tiny little ones notice the difference
between the smile and the froWn on the
parents face. Year by year, as children
grow older, and the souls, minds and
hearts begin to expand under the in
tluence of the environme nts, sensitive
children usually cultivate unconsciously
the mothers disposition. The child will
be sad and melancholy if the mother
signs and complains. If the child is in
dependent and self-reliant often under
such circumstances it will become stub
born and defiant. When the child leaves
the childhood behind and becomes a
young man or woman then the evil
effects of the sad mother becomes still
more apparent. Mother is blue and
home is gloomy place" and the young
people seek their amusement elsewhere.
And then the mother becomes blue in
deed, because she cannot control the
family and they do not enjoy the home.
The sad mother has pressing influence
on the home. She comes to the breakfast
table signing; the family hurry through
the meal and all seem relieved when it is
finished. The household tasks are taken
up with heavy spirit and the whole
house has funeral like appearance. The
gloomy complaining woman has few
friends and spends much of her time
alone; there is an estrangement between
herself and the other members of the
family; her children seek brighter and
more congenial friends and the conf
dence and companionship that should
J have been hers .are given to others.
| Mothers have heavy burdens but they are
committing a great wrong when they

WHY HE LOST OUT.

A young man not thousand miles
away from here went with his sister
to a dry goods store. He purchased a
pair of gloves for his sweetheart.
The sister bought pair of hose for
herself. Of course, the clerk got
them mixed. The explosion came
when the sweetheart opened the pacK-
age and found pair Of long, black
stockings. She blushed. Then she
opened the note and read the following
tender lines: II am sending you a
little present. Oh, how I wish that
no other hands but mine would ever
be permitted to touch them after you
have put them on. But alas, score

SOMETHING DIVERTING.

The mosquito theory has served one
useful purpose this summer, and that
is it has furnished new topic for con-
versation for those who have plenty
of time to talk. The propagation or
spread of the fever will never be set
tied by scientists and physicians who
at the risk Of their lives have tested
the thing among people who were ac-
tually sick with the fever, but it will
ultimately be settled satisfactorily by
some philosopher who is safe behind
shotgun quarantine, who never saw
a case of yellow fever in his life, who,
if he were suddenly to see one in ac-
tive operation, wouldn't stop running
until he reached home and got under
the bed, philosopher who basis his
opinion of scientific theories not on
what those who know, see and do, but
on what those who don't know, say
they heard about. If these men were
called upon to preside in the prose-
cution of case in court they would
not allow heresay evidence to settle
questions of fact, when numbers of
witnesses swore to knowledge and
actual experience of every point at
issue. Then if cases in court are left
to be settled by witnesses and
those who have had actual experience
why is the mosquito theory to be set
tied by those who are not eye witness
es and who have no experience what
ever except the experience Of being
frightened. Funny, isn't it?-Steen e
