CoIoring a Life.

Imagination plays an import
ant part in the coloEing of a life.
Don't let your imagination run
away with you'is a.sentence that
has chilled, if not checked, most
of us. But imagination is really
the master-buifder Of ones most
satisfactory life structures, and
when it runs away with one,
becomes a dynamo that moves
seemingly i1nmovable things.
What does imagination mean?
Tmaging: building a thought
pattern, Il mental model, an ideal.
Nothing great was eyer achieved
without enthusiasm, declares
Emerson. Imagination is en-
thusiasm's vital principle, its in
ward life, its vitalizing fire.
Millions of careers have proved
the truth that it, is the poised,
the patterned. the always, aspir-
ing life, the life OF the home, the
mandatory, the store, the
school, the studio, all places
where the demands for food,
raiment, spiritual sustenance and
nourishment for the finer senses
are met, that it is most thor
oughly and adequately colored.
All color is caused by viberation.
The higher and stronger the
pibcration the deeper and more
beautiful the color. When heart
and BRAN and body all vibrate
with high resolves and constant
upward reach and %endeavor, the
life will glow and shine and
attract to itself all that makes
for health, happiness and holi

The above is the celebrated and
impatiently awaited letter which
Mr.. Earl Brewer refused to pro
duce, but kept con ice" for the
confounding and discontinue of
the Hon. Charles Scott. No won
der 1t was not produced. Its pub
LEGATION makes the puerility and
faulty OF the Brewer charge so
plain that co m mcnt upon it
would be a reflection on public
intelligence.
In it's issue of September q
the American said:
"The occurrence at the Green
wood barbecue can have but one
effect on the candidacy OF Mr..
Brewer. His failure to produce
the letter which he claimed to
have then in his possession and
his failure to reiute Tie charge OF
Mr.. Scott, places upon him a
burden OF proof which is a dis
qualifying handicap in the acc
The only alternative left for him
is to retire with what grace he
may"
The letter is at last produced,
ane It's production, instead of re
lieving MIR, Brewer OF his bur-
den, adds SO overwhelmingly to
his handicap as to make his con
tinuance in the race simply a ri
diculous exhibition OF his unfit
ness. The aspiration OF such a
man as this to the Office of gov
crnor of Mississippi would be in
tolerable presumption it it were
not ridiculous in its utility.

"Prof. Hays, did you ever see
one of these before?"-" Prof.
Hays do you suppose this flower
will grow if l plant it?" and many
other similar questions.

and then stay out a week. This
