Arab pasha Old and FrlendIesa.

In a little house up by street OF
the Mohammedan quarter, old, friend
less, broken, lives the man who might
have ruled Egypt.
If you ask 20 people in Cairo to-
day: Where is Arab Pasha?" is will
tell you that he is dead, while the
other five do not know. In fact, after
the bombardment of Alexandria he
was sent to exile for life in Ceylon,
but was allowed some four years ago
to return to his native city.
1t was only after a weeks hard fer
reting that l discovered through a ma
tive journalist the whereabouts OF
the great man.
Even now, in his SEVENTEEN year,
he is big man; in his prime he must
have been immense. White hair and
beard; a broad, thoughtful forehead,
surmounted by the Turkish tarboosh; /;
kindly eyes, dulled little by age,
but lighting up wonderfully when he
talks about things which interest him;
a straight, powerful nose; large
mouth, which must once have been
hard and cruel, now softened by ad'
versity. Though the day is warm,
he wears an overcoat, and he walks
heavily on a massive ebony stick

Paris Fashion Hints.

Lingerie robes promise to be better
than ever during the coming season,
only they are to be far more elabor.
ate than ever, representing fabulous
amount of work.
Yokes are conspicuous upon the
loveliest of blouses-yokes definitely
cut or the lines of yoke connived at
by the way the trimming is disposed.
The empire scarf of colored gauze is
in high favor and lends the note OF
color to an otherwise single-toned
gown that la Parisienne's eye for dra.
matte effects requires.

MasoAs Honor Woman.

For the first time in the history Of
Natchez Masonry the lodges of the fra
ternal organization, from the Blue
Lodge to the Templars, took part in the
funeral honors paid to the memory of a
woman. These honors were paid to
Mrs. Agnes Izod, aged 90 years and
ten months. Mrs. Izod left wealthy
home during the war between the States
to nurse Confederate soldiers. The To-
cal Confederate camp attended the fu-
neral in body. Mrs. Izod was a MEM
Der of the board of lady managers of
the Protestant orphan asylum for forty

Tha Difference,

The actress looked d debonair, al
though the play had been pronounced
a failure on every side.
"Tt's got to succeed" she explained
"and for that reason I'm not nervous.
Last season played seven new parts
on Broadway, but / feel. perfectly
tranquil now. That's the advantage
of being a musical show. More than
$4,000 is invested in costumes and
scenery and they're not going to be
thrown away. The piece has simply
got to be made a success. If it had

"In the spring of 1908 I did my

came a morning when I could not get

two months, the doctor coming every
day for the first few weeks, but I did not
improve to amount to anything. Al.
together I was sick for nearly two
years. I was as weak as O rag, had
headaches, irregular heart beats, loss of
appetite, cramps in the limbs and was
unable to get good nights sleep. My
legs and feet were SO swollen that !
feared they would burst.
Before very long after I tried DR..
Williams Pink Pills felt change for
the better. I have taken about twelve
boxes and although was as near the
grave as could be, I now feel as if I
had new lease of life. have no more
headaches, the heart beats regularly, my
cheeks are pink and I feel ten years
younger. feel that I have been cured
very cheaply and I have recommended
the pills to lots of my friends"

New Road TO the Gulf.

A railroad proposition that looks ex-
ceedingly feasible, and of which there
seems every chance for its consumma-
tion, is that of the line contemplated
to tap the gulf coast at Scranton, or
some point in the Pascagoula vicinity.
1t goes without saying that the Pasca.
goula people would strain every point
possible for north and south line of
connection and negotiations are being
quietly pushed that seem very likely to
grow into something tangible. At the
other end of the proposition stands the
city of Jackson, which would be bene-
flied quite as much as Pascagoula, as
it would mean another outlet to the
seaboard direct and this would be the
best rate.maker that could be conceived

franklin County Assessment.

The assessment rolls of Franklin coun-
ty make very good showing for that
good old county, with an increase in
realty of almost three quarters OF a
million in the four years. The realty
assessment in 1902 was $826,61O, as
compared with $1,574.549 in 1906, and
this for an alleged "poor county" The
personal roll also shows an increase, the

1904 $492, 2,489, an increase in the twelve
months of over $4,000.

MISSISSIPPI NEWS
Plan TARGET Practice.

The trip of Adjutant General Fridge
and team representing the Mississippi
National Guard of the National Rifle
Association meet at Sea Girt has had
the effect of starting Gen. Fridge to
mapping out a plan for promoting the

up well on the long distance firing line,
quite a number of them fell down, and

purpose of giving the members Of the

Beer Is a Food
OF High Quality
It Refreshes and Strengthens the Body
With PredigeSted Nourishment.

AS a strengthening, nutritious food,
physicians and scientists now agree
that there is nothing, perhaps, more
beneficial than pure beer. Rich in the
food eXtractives of malt and the tonic
properties of hops, pure beer nOurishes
the whole body.
Many people unable to take solid
food have been b~ilt up by Pabst Blue
for the well as for the sick. Pabst
Blue Ribbon Beer with your meals
tones up the whole system. Taken in
moderation it cannot have other than
helpful, up-building, strengthening eff
feet, free from false stimulation.
Purity and cleanness are essential
for healthful beer, just as they are
essential for any other healthful food.
And purity and cleanneSS are watch
words in the great Pabst brewery at
and hops are used, and the whole Pabst
process is a revelation of scientific
progress, the result of sixty years pur-
suit of all the best known methods in
the science of brewing: A most i'm
process is the Pabst method of making
malt. 1t requires eight days and
doubles the expense of the old four day
method, still used in many breweries,
but the eight-day Pabst process is the
only process by which. perfect malt,
containing all the nutritious food quail
tiles of barley in predigested form,
can be made.
Absolute cleanliness distinguishes
the entire PabSt process, and the Pabst
Blue Ribbon label is a guarantee of
purity The name Pabst always stands
for purity, cleanliness and the best
beer breWed.
If your food doesn't taste Just right,
or if your digestion is a little off, or
your appetite is poor, drink Pabst Blue
Ribbon beer before or with your meals.
