VALUE OF A NEWSPAPER.

never took a newspaper that
didn't pay me more than | paid for it.
One time an old friend down south
started paper and sent copy to me
and subscribed just to encourage
him, and after awhile it published an
order to sell lot at public auction.
So inquired about the lot and told a
friend of mine to run it up to $50. He
bid oft the lot at $38 and it sold in
less than a month for 500, sol made
S65 clear by taking the paper. My
father told me when he was a young
man he saw in paper where a school
teacher was wanted way off in dis
tant country and he went and got the
situation, and a little girl was sent to
him, and after a while she grew up
sweet and beautiful and he married
her, Now if he had not taken that
paper what do you suppose would
have become of me? | would have

NAY BE DISCONTINUED.

Much apprehension is felt in the
rural communities of Mississippi over
the announcement from the postoffice
department at Washington that large
number of rural free delivery routes
viii be discontinued, owing to the
fact that they are not handling the
monthly limit Of 5000 pieces Of mail
matter necessary to insure their con-
tinued existence.
For the past four or five years the
members of the Mississippi delegation
at Washington have been quite dill
gent in securing rural free delivery
routes for their constituents, and the
discontinuance of the service would
of course cause much disappointment
among the patrons.
1t has been suggested, however,
that the patrons of the routes can
work out their own salvation by sub
scribing for a larger number Of papers
and that they ought to put daily pa
pers in their stock of reading matter,
thus guaranteeing continuance of the
service.
However, the candidates will soon
be coming to the rescue with their
circular matter setting forth the rea-
son why they want office, and when
the campaign is well under way it is
doubtful if Uncle Sam could find a
rural free delivery route in the State
below the limit. Jackson News.

AN ACCOMMODATING HEN.

North Albany, N. Y, has the most
accommodating hen on record. A GER
tain boarding house proprietress in
that enterprising section of the city,
has introduced a novelty in the fresh
egg market. She has a hen that is
so we'll trained that it lays an egg
while you wait" This is the modus
operandi, vouched for by aman of I'M
doubted veracity:
"The hen comes to the back door
of the house every morning and cack-
les until the door is opened for it.
"The housewife invariably gives the
hen bit of green stuff, such as cab
bage or lettuce, as a tidbit. Then she
shows the fowl an egg, after which
she puts the egg in the woodbox.
THE hen goes over to the box,
looks in and makes a great fuss be-
fore jumping in. In the course of
a short time she adds to the stock of
eggs by leaving aduplicate of the one
placed in the box by the housewife.
Biddy then goes to the door and cack-
les to have the door opened.
This little scene is enacted regu.
larly every morning, and up to date
has lasted for three weeks"

WEEKLY WEATHER BULLETIN, END
ING MONDAY, JUNE Is.

High temperature, much sunshine,
fresh westerly winds and a decided
deficiency in rainfall were the char
acteristlcs Of the past week.
The mean temperature for the
State for the week was from one to
three degrees above the normal, the
greatest excess being in the eastern
counties. Except in the extreme
northern portion Of the state, maxi
mum temperatures were generally
near or above 80 degrees on each
day, Sunday being the hottest day
when the temperature rose to 100
degrees at Hazlehnrst and l0l de-
grees at Brookhaven and Natchez.
Night temperatures were moderate
the fore part Of the week, but much
higher subsequent to the 22nd, when
minimum thermometers registered
above 70 degrees over the greater
portion of the state.
There was an abundace of sunshine
and fresh westerly winds were gener-
ally reported. These two conditions
dried the soil rapidly. There was
practically no rainfall over more than
half of the state and at no station
did the precipitation amount to one
inch. Beneficial showers occurred
in the extreme southern counties and
at scattered localities in the eastern.
central and northern counties, but as
a rule more moisture is needed in all
parts of the state.

A LEARNED PASTOR.
He Won His Countryman and Cap
tured the Congregation.

a congregation in a certain east
ern city had lost their pastor and
were deSirous cf filling his place.
But their last minister had been
self taught, and the arlstocracy-to
wit, the deacons, etc.-stipulated
that the new minister should have a
classical education.
In order TO be sure of their man
the deacons agreed to let applicants
preach sermon on trial. The living
was good, consequently trial SER
mons were the order of the day. But,
as the deacons said, they knew an
educated man from duiTer, so the
living remained vacant. At last a
Welshman heard of the vacancy, but
he was less learned than the one
who had left Still, he determined
to try.
The day was arranged, the ap-
pointed minute arrived, and the
candidate mounted into the pulpit
He got we'll on in his sermon when
he suddenly recollected that he was
expected 10 show his learning.
"My friends, he said, 81 will now
quote you passage in Greek" "
With IA solemn look he repeated
verse in his native tongue, The
effect was marvellous. Approving
mods and smiles were exchanged
among The dea-ons.
Thus encouraged he followed up
his advantage by saving;
"Perhaps yoa would also like to
hear it in Lalin;' -
He then repeated another passage
in Welsh. This was even more sue
cessful than before The preacher
cast his eve over his flock and saw
that he was regarded with looks of
increasing respect,
Unfortunately there was also a
Welshnmn in the congregation He
was sitting at the back, almost
choked in his efforts to stitle his
laughter. The minister's eye fell
on him and took in the whole situa-
ton at a glance. Preserving his
countenance, he continued;
Il will also repeat it in Hebrew"
He then sang out in his broadest
Welsh, "Aly dear fellow, stop laugh
ing or they will find it out. -
The other stihed his laughter and
dined with him. - Detroit News

FOR TIE LITTLE ONES.
Writing About Facts or Fancies Is a
Novel Game.

Do you ever think when studying
your history what you would have
done had you been this person or
that: 1t is an easy thing to see
where certain persons made serious
mistakes, and we naturally think
We would have done differently. If
Julius Caesar had stayed at home
that day instead Of going up to the
capitol--if Napoleon had been con-
tent when he was ruler of France
instead of trying t. control all En-
rope-if Benedict Arnold had re-
NAMED loyal to his country instead
of trying to betray it to the enemy.
The idea suggests good game.
Let each player write for ten min
ute, on the subject, 'Some Things
| Would DO if | Were President"
or "Some Things | Would Do if |
Were Gar of Russia" In similar
way it may be supposed that you
are a Schoolteacher. a policeman. a
tramp, a dog chasing a rabbit, Il
man with Sl00,000,0O0 and no rcIa-
tives, a boy in a runaway balloon
drifting away over the ocean, a
sailor shipwrecked on a very small
desert island, etc.
When all have written about a
character the fancies are read and
talked about.
