TIRED MOTHERS.

IL there is any class of persons who
need tenderness and encouragement
it is tired mothers; weary limbs.
sad hearts and puzzling brains all at
test to the fact. There ought to be
special privileges granted to tired
mothers as much as invalids. Those
who have passed through this trying
ordeal know how to sympathize,
know how to excuse the shortcom-
ings of those who are passing through
the narrow gateways, the thorny
paths, the rough highways, where
temptation holds high rcvelry, and
the angel of peace sits in the shadow.
Tired mothers! always anxious,
scheming, planning and ecGnomizing
how they can manage their detail CT
domestic life with least expense; for
children are such a drain upon the
resources of ones time, heart and
pocket. The mothers doing double
work, triple work themselves to save
for this or that, until the nerves are
strained and shattered to a degree
unbearable to themselves, and par
ticularlv offensive to others.
Let me entreat you fathers and
husbands, deal gently with the wife
and mother; cheer and brighten her
life by all means in your power for
she needs your help in many ways,
to buoy her up and sustain her, that
she may be nerved "ith fresh vigor
to impart to the little ones who are
IA constant drain upon her life and
energies.

AN OBJECT LESSON.

"AH ! ask, said Nan Patterson in
the Tombs, is to go buck to my dear
old father and mother, to the dear
old home, to forget, If | can, my long
sufferings and be little girl again.
There was q time when Nan Pat
terson was an innocent, pure and
happy girl. the same as are scores
who wild read this article. She was
pretty. Her parents were justly
proud of her. In early girlhood She
appeared behind the footlights of the
stage Our readers are all familiar
with what has followed Her picture
has appeared in al our metropolitan
papers Three times has she been
tried for murder, and etill no jury
can agree as to her guilt
Hearts of strong men have turned
back to the old home for refuge in
times like this. The fundamental in
stincts OF human nature are so strong,
uneriing and universal that when we
are led by sin or sorrow deep, we
turn to the govtl old home.
Nan Patterson will now 90 b;A;k
homo. But she can never take back
to the old homo the iMnocent child
hood she took away from it. Neither
will the old home look natural to her,
for u heavy mortgage has cast Il
shadow on the di-eary rooms a mort
gage placed there by forgiving pa
rents to protect their child s neck
from the hangman 5 rope. A deeper
shadow has fallen upon the unf0rtu-
nate girl than upon her home, and
has fallen upon her by her own sin
Her father, IN the sunset of life,
did not forsakc his girl in the hour
of trouble And the invalid mother,
daily sent her messages Of love and
cheer. These doting parents can
never. again be rs they were before
her sin bent their forms and viii
tened their locks.
Too many of our most promising
children allured by the bright flow
ers, the butterflies, the rainbow, may
forget and wander far from home
But when sin bruises their feet and
their limbs become weary and the
heart sore they will cry for the good
old home once more.
biatured men and woman haze d
little stronger limbs and harder
hearts; they can chase the butterflies
and the rainbows q little further; and
they, too, like poor Nan Patterson,
must see the mocking folly.of it all
and weary and heartsick long for the
old home and mother
No penalty is SO sure as that which
comes with the suicide or sin. You
may hold the beautiful flower you
nave plucked back to the stem: but
it gets 10 life there again. Nan Pat
terson can return to her old home
but cloud will ever hover over it.
Her innocence cannot return any
more than the plucked flower can
again grow to the stem.
Too many Of our young people, like
Nan Patterson, who had good homes
and good parents have wandered SO
far from them that the journey back
TO innocent childhood and peace is
too far for feet of clay. Let the
young learn an object lesson from
the SORROWS that have overtaken Nan
Patterson and that overtahe all who
seek pleasure in paths of sin.

Accomplishments of Earthquakes.

There undoubtedly is some connec-
ton between earthquakes and vol
canic disturbances, for when there
are great explosions with large ex-
trusions of lava and other matter
there is often great disturbance in
the vicinity, and very severe earth
quakes result In fact, the most
frequent earthquakes to-day are in
volcanic regions. As to the relations
between volcanic disturbances in one
part of the world and earthquakes in
another, the evidence is somewhat
conflicting. Yet it is notable fact
that the earthquake in the Mississip-
pi Valley, 1Sl1-I2, ceased when the
volcano of So. Vincent, in the West
Indies broke out. and there is per-
haps suggestive coincidence be-
tween the eruption OF Vesuvius and
the earthquake IN San Francisco.
The tidal disturbances that fire.
quently accompany earthquakes may.
be due to distinct seismic Outbreakes
on the floor of the ocean, but often
are simply the reaction against vi
brations recc we'd from the shore
This rebounding energy frequently
brings to the shore q tidal wave half
a hundred feet high. winch washes
over the coast and adds to the dam
age OF the shock. Such Il catastro-

Again, he is fluent, entertaining
speaker, IS endowed with a superb
hundance of energy, and above all is
from our neighboring county, Greene
"a county that in all past campaigns
could be counted upon for coming
up right and strong for democracy,

Sea Coast Echo
A special election will he held in
Hancock and four other counties
Harrison, Jackson. Wayne and
Greene-on Tuesday, June II, to fill
the Office of District Attorney, as
created by the recent session of the
legislature. This is a new district,
and the Governor has temporarily
filled the Office by D. M Graham, of
Gulfport. Mr. Graham is not can
didate for election, but four other
gentlemen are. These are B. p.
Harrison; of Greene w. FL. Billiard,
of jackson; J. H. Mize, of Biloxi; and
Il young man by the name of Parker,
residing somewhere along the G.
u S. l. roaa.
The four candidates were in Bay
St. Louis last Saturday on the oc-
cassion of the Woodmen celebration,
and in joint political debate enter
tanned large gathering of attentive
hearers
When the roar Of battle had ceased
and the smoke had cleared, the victor
of the day was young Harrison, who
made splendid impression and who
won head and shoulders over his OPP
ponents. This was the general CON
sensus Of opinion, and on the day of
election the results of the ballot box
in Bay St. Louis will no doubt con-
firm this statement. Mr.. Harrison
had hardly spoken for more than five
minutes, before he had captiyated
his hearers and won more votes in
that short space of time than all of
the three other candidates in the en-
tire time consumed by their respcc-
tive discourses. A similar report
comes from Pass Christian, where on
Wednesday all four candidate hell
another of their love feasts. The
press reports, to the daily papers
contained stereotyped and impartial
accounts, but The Echo has it from
parties who were present, that Har-
rison again carried the day.
But this is not surprising. B F.
Harrison is young man whose make
up Of pluck and determination, az
gresiVeresS and relentlessnesS, and
his thorough knowledge of the law
admirably equips him for the all imp
tant Office Of prosecuting attorney
for the State. Another fact that
carries no doubt, and neither is it sur
prising, is that Harrison is going to
prove winner. Reports from every
where within the district confirm
this, and if there be any voters in
Bay ST. Louis, Hancock county or
elsewhere who have not as yet made
up their minds as how to vote, The
Echo would urge them in all earnest
ness ndsincerity to cast it for Hair
rison. We have no ak to grind, no
favOf's to ask, none to seek, but for
the public good, for the upholding of
the law, for the bettermeDt of socie-
ty, we repeat, vote for Harrison. liz
him the State could not have a bet
ter representative, a more conscien-
tious worker, nor more potent pow
er for good than he. A man every
inch, a scholar, lawyer, citizen, he is
above reproach, and the mantle of
district attorney would fit well and
fall gracefully over his shoulders.
BY all means, let it be Harrison.
Let the voters turn out Zach man
owes it to his country, self and
home-a duty that is sacred-to turn
out on June 18th. and TO vote.
