Ed. Tupelo Journal:
Your readers viii be sad 10 l.arn OF
the death of our esteemed ueighbor and
friend, Mrs. Lille Easterling, be owed
wife OF MIR Isaac Easterling, which sad
event occurred at her home on Nov. 10,
1906, after an illness of six weeks du-
ration. Everything that loving hands
and medical skill could do was done to
but the insiduous disease (slow feyerl
had fastened itself upon her to such an
extent that nc relief other than tenn
poral could be given her.
She leaves to mourn her loss a devoted
husband and a little boy three years
of age.
Mrs. Easterling was reared under
Christian influences, and early in life
protested Christ as her Savior, Joined
the Methodist church, and lived a de-
voted Christian life until her death.
She was loved by all for her sweet, I'M
selfish disposition, and her life was one
that is indeed worthy of our emulation
She left behind her the comforting as
surance that she has gone to a better
home than this.
Her body was laid to rest in Uclatub-
ba cemetery, a large %concourse of sor-
rowing relatives and friends gathering
to witness the last sad rites. We eX-
tend to the bereayed our heartfelt
sympathy and pray that God may COM
fort them and enable them to meet
their departed loved one in heaven.

The Faith of the Bov.

The fOur-year-old son Of a certain
western senator had a very high opin-
ion Of the Importance Of his father
The latter tells how, on one occasion
in their western home, the lad came
across a magazine in which, by some
chance, there were engraved side by
side portraits of the President and
the Senator mentioned.
When the lad caught sight of his
fathers features he broke into a broad
smile. "That's a good picture of you,
daddy" said he.
Very good, my son."
who's the man next to you, daddy?"
asked the youngster.
''Why, my son !" exclaimed the Sen,
ator. don't you know? That is one of
the greatest men Of the world, a man
more admirable and more powerful
than any king. That, my son, is Presi.
dent Roosevelt"
The lad again looked at the picture
of the President. Then, after a thought
full pause, he observed:
"Say, daddy, the people in the east
will be awful proud when they see the
Presidents picture next to yours, won't
they ?-American Spectator

Vines of Piazza.

To train a vine to screen a piazza
take pieces of galvanized iron wire
somewhat longer than the height Of
the space to be screened and bend the
wire into loops about one-half an inch
in size at intervals of about six inches.
Stretch each wire between galvanized
iron screw eyes, placed in the wood
work at the top and bottom of the piaz-
"a. The screw eyes may be six or eight
inches in length. Fasten the vine to
the loops wherever desired by means of
short pieces of galvanized wire bent to
a circular form. One great advantage
of this method is that the various parts
Of the vine may be changed in position
every season or oftener as occasion re-
quires without disturbing the whole
vine and one part or another of the
space to be covered may be more or
less thickIy covered as one may wish.

TERRIBLE SCALY ECZEMA.

Eruptions Appeared on Chest, and
Face and Neck Were All Broken
Out-Cured by Cuticura.
II had an eruption appear on my
chest and body and extend upwards
and downwards, so that my neck and
face were all broken out; also my arms
and the lower limbs as far as the
knees. l at first thought it was prick

formed where the breaking out was.
Instead of going to physician, pur-
chased q complete treatment OF the

great faith, and all was satisfactory.
A year or two later the eruption ap-
peared again, only a little lower; but
before it had time to spread l pro-

Words Louder than Actions.

A prominent lawyer in Ohio who was
very eccentric always rubbed his hands
and went through several other move
ments before speaking. One day while
in court younger lawyer, after seeing
him do this several times, got up and
did it, too, in very slow and DELHI
crate manner, and, after saying what
he was going to, sat down; whereupon
the older man got up and said: "That
young man acts like good lawyer, but
he talks like a fool."-Buffalo Times

characteristics of Russell Sage.

Here are some Of the points about
the late Russell Sage and his career
which will give a good understanding
Of the man:
He was worth between $1OO,OOO,OOO
and $15OO0O,OOO.
He would argue about the price Of
two apples OF quarrel about the cost
Of hair cut.
He was saved from bankruptcy by
Jay Gould.
He returned the compliment by saw
ing Gould from financial ruin.
He narrowly escaped Imprisonment
for usury.
He began money making at the ago
Of 10.
He had made $4,000 when he was
%.
He served in Congress between 1852
and 1856.
Early in his career he was a rum
seller.
His word was as good as most mems
bonds.
He went to church every Sunday.
He gave scarcely anything for public
or charitable purposes.
He appeared almost absolutely to
lack nerves.
He wore the cheapest of clothes and
his tastes were of the plainest.

BED sTREWN WITH ORCHIDS.
French Marquise One of Many Who
Burn Up Their Money

french Marquise One of Many Who
Burn Up Their Money.
When the people have more money
than they know what to do with they
sometimes develop a remarkable in
>genulty in devising methods Of squand-
erlng it, as in the case Of the French
marquise, who, according to the papers,
mas her bed strewn with rare and ex-
qulslte orchids at a cost Of several
thousand dollars a week.
Even more remarkable Is the story
told OF wealthy Frenchman who dimes
twice week at famous Partisan res
taurant. His appetite is CT the poor
est, but he always insists on having q
tureen filed with specially prepared
soup placed before him. Next comes
a huge joint Of meat from which he
cuts one tiny slice. Then follow four
quails or a large chicken, Of which he
eats one mouthful. His dessert con-
slsts OF four grapes and a cup Of cof-
fee, while during his meal he just
molstens his lips from a bottle Of ex-
penSive claret and another of the fin
est champagne. At the conclusion Of
each meal, for which he pays $50, he
hands So to the head waiter, 81 to the
waiter who has attended him, So to the
woman cashier and 81 to the porter
A weird form of extravaganza was
that of a woman named Hitler, who
recently buried her husband in a $2O,-
600 coffin. The casket was made Of
richly carved mahogany, with solid gold
trimmings Ca single knob costing ST.
1907 and lined with silk which is said
to have cost rs cents an inch.
The nizam Of Hyderabad has a set OF
false teeth for which he paid a Madras
dentist $4,000 and Dixie w. Thompson,
wealthy rancher Of Santa Barbara,
CAL, not long ago spent $3.50 on a
saddle, which is Of the finest embossed

mounted with silver. Henry G. Mar

exquisitely painted by Sir L. Alma
Tadema and studded with precious
stones. Jan Van Beers has a piano,

One Of the most remarkable cases Of
extravaganza on record was the In
dulging by the Sultan Of Turkey of a
child's whim. One day the Sultan
found his small son in tears because,
though he had been promised to be
made an admiral, he could not see his
flag holsted on a particular ship from
his nursery windows. The Sultan
promptly had the vessel brought up and
moored in front Of the Dolma-bagtcheh,
to the child's great delight. In order,
however, to bring the vessel to the re-
CURED position it was necessary to pull
down a newly constructed bridge,
which at the Sultan's bidding was done
at a cost Of S5OO0O0

HIGH PRICES OF CHAIRS.
Dozen of Louis XIV.'s Day Recently
Sold for 100000.

Sold for 500, 900.
The value of chairs is strictly rela-
tive. Enormous prices have been paid
for chairs in recent years, notably
100000 for set of half dozen Louis
XIV chairs, upholstered in Gobelin tap
estry, which were originally made for
Marie Antoinette. Even this price, by
the way, was exceeded by the sums
paid for three of the Hamilton palace
tables, one of which brought $4,000
A most valuable and historically in
teresting suite Of furniture is that
which more than a century ago was
presented by Warren Hastings to Tip
poo Sahib and which was purchased at
the LondesbOrough sale for $4,000. The
suite consists of a card table, a sofa,
two small cabinets and four armchairs,
all Of solid ivory most exquisiteIy cary
ed. But probably the most costly chair
in the world is one of the many treas
ures of the shah of Persia. It is of
solid gold, thickly incrusted with dia-
mondS, rubies, pearls and Sapphires
and it's value is estimated at $50O,OO0
In the House Of Commons at Westmin-
ster are two armchairs which once be-
lOnged to Gladstone, and one of which
was his favorite seat when at Downing
street.
A short time ago a romantic story
was told in the French papers of two
dilapidated armchairs which were sold
among the effects of a Nine. Borg, a
widow, who died at Dellys, an Algerian
seaport town. The widow was reputed
to be rich, but a thorough search of her
rooms failed to disclose any of her
hoardings, and it was assumed by her
relatives that she had died practically
penniless.
Not long after the sale of her fur
niture, however, it was observed that
the purchaser of the chairs, a Spanish
stevedore named Perez, ceased to work
and began to walk about in fine
clothes, to purchase land and houses
and generally gave evidence of having
come into a fortune. Suspicion being
aroused, Perez was arrested, and now
stands accused of having appropriated
to his own use the old lady's fortune
of at least $4,000, which had been con-
cealed by her in the dilapidated arm
chairs.-Cleveland Plain Dealer.

THE WORLDS OLDEST CITY.

The Damascus Seen by Saul of
Tarsus Still Exists.
If you were suddenly asked to name
the Oldest city In the world which is
still in a fourishing condition, what
would be your answer?
In nine cases out Of ten, the person
to whom such a query might be pro-
pounded would bark back to Egypt,
Greece, or Rome. He would be wrong.
The oldest city In the world is Damas-
Ecus.
Tyre and Sidon have crumbled on
the shore; Baalbec is a ruin; Palmyra
| is buried in a desert; Nineveh and
Babylon have disappeared from the
Tlgris and the Euphrates. Damascus
remains what it was before the days
Of Abraham-a center Of trade and
travel-an isle Of verdure in the des-
ert; "a presidential capital" with mar
tial and sacred associations extending
through thirty centuries.
It was near Damascus that Saul Of
Tarsus saw the light above the bright
ness Of the sun; the street which is
called Strait, in which 1t was said
she prayed" still runs through the
city.
The city which Mohammed surveyed
from a neighboring height and was
afraid to enter because it was given
to man to have but one paradise, and
for his part he was resolved not to
have it in this world" IS to-day what
Julian called the eye Of the East" as
1t was In the time Of Isaiah "the head
of. Syria"
From Damascus came the damson,
our blus plums, and the delicious april
cot Of Portugal called damasco; dam
ask, our beautiful fabric Of cotton and
silk, with vines and flowers raised upon
smooth, bright ground; the damask
rose introduced into England in the
time OF Henry VIII; the Damascus
blade, 90 famous the world over for
its keen edge and wonderful elasticity,
| the secret Of whose manufacture was
| lost whan Taanerlane carried the artist
into Persia and that beautiful art of
