scold than a cooling plunge, or for the
wife-beater than few lashes on his own
back? Alice Morse Earle instances in
book on "Punishments of Bygone Days"
some of these picturesque but often cruel
sentences of the colonial court.
A number of tender handed English gal
lants Joined a pioneer expedition to Viz
ginia The weather was cold and the
work hard When these soft-muscled
young men were set at chopping trees
their hands were sorely blistered by the
axe helves. With the cries of pain many
oaths were heard. The president of the
company soon put stop to this swearing
by ordering a can of cold water to be
poured down the sleeve of the guilty one
at every oath he uttered.
In colonial days hog stealing was con-
sdered one OF the most serious of crimes
At the first offense the thiefs ears were
slit at the second his ears were nailed to
pillory and at the third he suffered
death "wthout benefit of clergy"
Deceitful bakers and careless fish dealers
had to "loose their ears" while he who
spoke detracting words had his tongue
bored by a bodkin.
Frenchman, travelling in America in
100. describes the duclsing stool as a
pleasant mode of Furnishing a scoldinS
woman. He says:
"Of members, We tongue is worst or
beste An yll tongue oft doth breede UNI
reste worthe a ducling stoole.'
In 1895 Thomas Hartley of Virginia
wrote of his witnessing the execution of
duclting stool sentence:

Betsey Walker, who by ye violence of her
tongue made her house and her neighbour

SPAT WITH DAILY.
Clara Morris Tells of Banquet Given
by Her Manager.

In the American Magazine for Decem-
Der Clara Morris writes OF a banquet
given by her manager, Augustin Daily.
Miss Morris was dressed in a black gren-
adne, over which she and Daily had quar-
relied AT the banquet she was unexpect-
eddy called upon for a speech--her first
speech Reading it almost makes your
own knees shake.
Not the least interesting part of the
story is Miss Morris account of the spat
she and DAILY had before the banquet.
Miss Morris refused to go because she
possessed no suitable clothes.
You only require very simple dress
said Mr.. DAILY.

both my shabby street dresses. / have

Plans for New Line,

One of the notable developments of
the timber business in Mississippi is the
perfecting of arrangements for the con-
struction of the Edward Hines Lumber
company's road from Gulfport to Pop
larville. This company is backed not
only by the Hines company but by the
Weyerhauser and other fabulously
wealthy lumber syndicates, and the prom
Use is held out that in the course of time
this road, now being constructed for the
development of the Hines timber interests
in and about Poplarville, will be con-
structed to the north and east and will
expand into a great traffic system as the
Mississippi Central has done under the
United States Lumber company manage
ment, and as the New Orleans and Great
Northern promises to do under the Good
years. For the present the line will stop
at Popuarville. 1t will have a most
liberal spirit by Captain Jones, the Gulf
port magnate. He has procured for the
new road a right of way through the
town, on to the beach, and has given
permission for the constructions of an
other pier, similar to the one now in use
there, for the exclusive use of the new
road. Captain Jones had made all the
plans to build this additional pier him
SELF but when the Hines company came
along he turned all his plans and con-
tracts over to them. This pier will run
out to the anchorage basin, and will give
the Hines company a grip of great value
upon the export trade, whether in lum-
Der or in general commerce, when the
traffic on the gulf shall have been de-
veloped under the stimulus of the Pam
anna canal.
The prospects for the development also
of the port at Pascagoula have picked up
wonderfully in the last few weeks The
declaration on the part of the Mississippi
Central of it's purpose to build on to
Pasagoula as soon as the Natchez ex-
tension shall have been complete, which
will be in the course of another year,
has inspired the projectors of the new
Jackson ascagoula line with an idea that
an attempt is making to freeze them
out of the harbor, and they have re-
doubled their exertions to finance and put
through their project. Also it is an
nounced that the federal government has
been recommended to make a further APP
preparation of 100000 for the improve
ment of Pascagoula harbor. 1t is est-
mated that the opening of this harbor and
the building of the railroad from Hat
tiesburg will increase the lumber output
of Mississippi by SO per cent.

TO be revealed. The promoter took the
subscriptions and skipped out.
Exchange View of Mining Boom.
The governors of the stock exchange
do not pretend to act as guardians for
the public In this mining boom, but they
insist that members of the exchange shall
not use the name of the New York Stock
Exchange to help blow these bubbles.
A firm having membership in the ex-
change offered the stock in a Goldfeld
bubble for several days, advertising the
fact that it was a member of the ex-
change. The governors stopped this. 1t is
not unlikely that effort will be made to
separate the wheat from the chaff in
the curb mining market so far as is pos
sible by distinguishing between mines
and prospects and between companies
which furnish reports and those which
do not, but no amount of financial pater-
nalism will stop people from investing
money foolishly. Every generation must
have its speculative bubble In which the
small investors lose their savings.

CARS ARE STILL LACKING

Hattiesburg, Miss, December 1.-(Spe-
cial.)-While all the mill men in this sec
ton are unusually active these days, run
ming their machinery as many hours per
Gay as they can induce their men to work,
there is a peculiar dearth of unusual hap
penings in the business. The manufact-
urers express themselves in terms of dis
gust about the scant car supply and
wonder what is going to become of labor
in this country, phophesy an early ad-
vance in prices and then return to their
work. The monotony of routine is inter-
rupted not even by crushing negro un-
der falling log or burning down dry
kiln From the newsgatherers standpoint
the situation is indeed discouraging.
There is no relief from the car short
age, which is the most serious ever ex-
perienced in this country. In fact the
conditions appear to get worse instead of
better The example set by the Illinois
Central has had the expected effect of
driving all the other lines to prohibiting
the use of their cars except on their own
lines of road, and this change of policy
on the part of the individual roads has
produced some friction between systems
with regard to division of freight charges
in cases of reshipment involving refusals
of certain roads to carry business for
other roads except at prohibitive prices,
and it all comes back upon the shoulders
of the manufacturers who cannot get
their goods to market.
The interior demand is keeping up very
well. There is not the expected rush
of orders for building material, and even
car material is not in heavy demand,
though there is something doing in that
line. Pole stock continues in. good de-
mand with good prices. The manufact-
urers are expressing hopes for an adj
vance in the market, though it cannot
be learned that their expectations are
based on anything tangible.
