Unhappy Existence Led by Victim OF
Peculiar Disease.
IN one OF my voyages from Cape
Town to England" writes traveller,
II. shared my cabin with peculiar
man, whose name was Lazarus. He
made me promise that il he should die
during the voyage I would prevent
previous voyage he had fallen sick
and was taken for dead and put into
sack for burial. A >quartermaster
had been put on to watch the body
Until it was time for the funeral.
When the burial party arrived, the
Quartermaster informed the captain
that he thought the body had moved
iI the sack. The sack was opened and
Lazarus eventually came to life again.
Such was the story Lazarus told me.
Lazarus was a thin man, with sal
low face. He had an enormous appe-
tite and appeared at every meal, to
which he devoted his whole energies.
The good feeling only seemed to add
tc his corpselike appearance. One
evening, sure enough, when we were
about half way to our voyages end,
he apparently died again. The doctors
took him in charge this time, however,
and he came out Of his trance without
any shotted-sack episode He was met
at the London docks by number of
relatives and friends. all of whom
looked as, If they might be suffering
from the same complaint"

Seekinu the LARGE Life.

The habit which many women have
formed, and from which they appar-
emily do not attempt to secure free
dom, of devoting the larger portion
of their time and thoughts to the
trivial things of life, robs them of the
caracity of enjoying or assimilcting
much which would add to intellectu-
al growth. The woman who sees
nothing from day to day but the four
walls of her abiding place often quite
naturally becomes narrow in her
thoughts. She even lacks the incen-
tive to commune with great minds
through reading.
But interest in that which best
serves humanity should not be limit
ed by the lines of sex. AS woman S
opportunities open she is quick to
place herself in touch with all the
active forces which make for the bet
terment of mankind.-Madame.

Youthful street venders. One day,
while waiting for some groceries, a
young lady, evidently unused to house
keeping, approached the raw Irish
clerk, and timidly asked: II want
some mutton to make broth. Shall
I get it off the neck?' mo; maam," !"
was the solemn reply, as the clerk
pointed to the butcher busy at his
block. I'VE git it off that mon."-

Why People Admire Something Pro-
ducer Thinks Little OF.
He had two lectures. One was dig
nided, noble, grand, well-pleasing to
himself. The other was common, sim
rle, earnest, popular, but thought lit
tic of by himself. One of the perplex-
tiles of his life was this: Why should
the people admire something that he
thought little of, and think little of
something which he thought so much
Of? Some thoughts and sermons are
for those who create them, and should
be kept in a scaled case in the own

THE SECRET OF HAPPINESS.
Lcok Only Upon the Bright Side Of
All Happeninqs.

All Happenings.
The man who can drill his thoughts,
SO as to shut> out everything that is
depressing and discouraging and see
only the bright side even OF his mis-
fortunes and failures, has mastered
the secret of happiness and success.
He has made himself a magnet to
draw friends, cheer, brightness and
good fortune to him. Everyone is
pleased to see him. His presence is
like a sunbeam on a dull day.
There is no accomplishment, no
touch of culture, no gift which will
add so much to the alchemic power of
life as the optimistic habit-the deter
mination to lie cheerful and happy no
matter what comes to us. 1t will
smooth rough paths, light up gloomy
places and melt away obstacles as the
sunshine melts snow on the mountain

HHoIystone."

This is a soft. stone, used by sailors
for scrubbing decks, and is said to
have got it's name because it was
originally used solely for Sunday
cleaning. Others assert that the first
stones used for this purpose were TAX

said to get the name from the fact
ttat sailor has to go on his knees
to use it.

Death of Prof. J. M. 0irauIt.

1t is with deep regret that the
Leader chronicles the death of Prot.
Girault. Although having nearly
reached the allotted time of man,
Prof. Giraull was full of the enthu-
siasm and spirit of youth and the
last time we saw him. a few months
ago. he was characteristicallY bright
and sunny as was always his nature
to be and the shadow of Death
seemed far down the Valley.
Prof. Girault was a native of
Claiborne county and of French
descent. He was of distinguished
bearing and inherited the courtli-
ness of manner and courteous def
erence to those around him at home
or abroad, possessed by his noted
ancestors. Before the war he at
one time served as sheriff for Clai-
borne county, and during the war
fought bravely and valiantly as a
Confederate soldier. Teaching was
his beloved profession and he was
ever ambitious and painstaking
with his school work. For years
he served as superintendent of edu-
cation of Lincoln county and also
occupied later an honored place on
the board of examiners for teach
ers. Al the time of his lamented
death he was principal ofthe school
at Johnson Station, where his de-
mise is deeply mourned.
Prof. GirauIt was a faithful and
active member of the Baptist
church alive to every issue per-
tanning not only to his immediate
church but to the denomination at
large. Prof. Girault leaves a wife,
three daughters and two sons. all
grown, and the former married.
The funeral services were con-
Quoted at Little Bahala church In

likely the latter point.

medium of this road and small
amount of railroad building from
Hattiesburg to Gulfport, Miss,
with the latter port. The Gould
