surely hasn't studied in this section Of
Mississippi

In the home of his children the old
man, who made Mississippi famous is
fast passing away. His going inspires
a tribute to his memory. No one may
understand the Mississippi OF today
who studies not the biography of the
pioneer of yesterday-not the skeleton
sketches the obituary column contain,
but the flesh and blood history thst in
forms and fascinates. The new Miss
issippi had it's foundation laid broad
and deep by the pioneer Of the old
Mississippi. His going suggests as
we'll the observation which even Miss
issippians are apt to forget that Miss
issippi ia no longer an undeveloped
territory of big plantations. 1t has no
place for the pioneer. His mission is
ended, his work is done. The man
who comes to Mississippi now expect
ing to find civilization in spots will
miss far his exp sctation. That day is
gone forever. The pioneer full of
years is passing; and we shall not look
upon his like again.

sweet and poetic sentences of slush tt
the bank. There they win listen to
the humble toiler, but they pass up
the dreamer. The man who works
patiently in the soil is more to be con-
sidered than the man who kisses the
clouds, and soon you'll realize it.
A gay and handsome travelling man
lay on bed of pain, all hope had
passed, his life went fast; he would
never rise again. "Hast thou no
sweetheart, fair and true2" they
whispered Ger his bed, "whom thou
would'st tell a last farewell?" The
young man softly said: "There's Daisy
back In Lexington, and Nellie at Var
daman; there's Millie down in West
Point town and Mary in Meridian.
And at Tupelo there's Esther dear,
whom must surely see, and Lorraine
at Blue Mountain, please bring them
oil to me-" The watchers started with
surprise, and then they said once
more: "Come tell US, pray, without
delay, the girl whom you adore; the
girl whom you have sworn to love and
bring both wealth and fame; your hope
and life-quick, letus hear her name"
"There's Maggie at Baldwyn," he
said, Sand Pearl at Lauderdale; there
is Violet at Walden and Maud at
old Houston, and Genevisve at Van
Vleet and Mabel at Corinth." The
young man sighed "It's time died =

the moon has hoated by he has called
it that barbaric emblem Of fidelity.
His neighbor went ON his humble way
and called it a common moon. The
latter now has the bank account, the
dreamer, the barbaric emblem. One
used to talk about the sky growing
red in the east and the sun peeping
over the horizon to kiss his young
brow. His lowly neighbor said:
"Sun's up; time to 20 to work" He
got up and let the cum 60 on with it's
kissing. Tie dreamer used to speak
about the sweet wild flowers being
wooed and caresssd BY the gentle
May zephyrs. His friend said:
"The weeds are gettIng too high,
will cut them down with the scythe.

They Stand Alone.

Standing out in bold relief, all alone,
And as conspicuous example of open.
frank and honest dealing with the sick
and afflicted, are DIR. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription for weak, over-worked, de-
bilitated, nervous, rundown" pain
Medical Discovery, the famous remedy
for weak stomach, indigestion, or dys-
pepsia, torpid liver, or biliousness, all
catarrhal affections whether of the
stomach, bowels, kidneys, bladder, nasal
passages, throat, bronchia, or other mu-
cous passages, also as an effective remedy
FOR all diseases arising from thin, watery
or impure blood, as scrofulous and skin
affections.
Each bottle OF the above medicines
bears upon Its wrapper badge of hon.
esty in the full list of ingredients COM
posing it-prtnted In plain English.
This frank and open publicity places
setues, and is the best guaranty of their
merits. They cannot be classed as patent
nor secret medicines for they are neither
being Of knotcn composition.
DR.. Pierce feels that he can afford to
take the afflicted into his full confidence
cines freely before them because these
ingredients are such as are endorsed and
most strongly praised by scores of the
most eminent medical writer's as cures
for the diseases for which these medi-
cines are recommended. Therefore, the
afflicted do not have to rely alone upon
DIR. Pierce's recommendation as to the
curative value of his medicines for GER
tain easily recognized diseases.
A glance at the printed formula on
each bottle will show that no alcohol and
no harmful or habit forming drugs enter
into DR.. Pierce's medicines, they being
wholly compounded of glyceric extracts
of the roots of native, American forest
plants These are best and safest for
the cure of most lingering, chronic dis
eases. DR.. r. v. Pierce can be consulted
FREE, by addressing him at Buffalo,
N. Y, and all communications are re-
garded as sacredly confidential.
1t is as easy to be well as Ill and
much more comfortable. Constipation Is
the cause of many forms of illness. DR..
Pierce's Pleasant Pellets cure constipa-
ton. They are tiny, sugar-coated gran
nles. One little Pellet is a gentle s Taxa,
medicines soil them.

There is your rife" said his bene-
factress.
II see it; but I don't feel as though
could go without sayin' few words
that seem to be pressin' up from my
heart. You have saved my life and
thank you for it," returned the forester.
with much feeling. I've been looking
at you for good while as you sat by
the fire so pensive and melancholy-like,
and somehow or other took fancy to
you"
I'm such a half savage that | don't
see how anybody living could be pleased
with me-" replied Innis, weeping vio-
lently.
IF anybody else should dare to call
you half savage, / reckon they'd never
do it again in my hearing returned
Ballard emphatically. THE fact is YOU
suit me exactly, and / hope you'll ex-
cuse me for sayin' so. You see, I'm a
plain-speakin' man, and / say what |
mean and mean honest. | don't want
to make you blush, nor be forrad on
short acquaintance; but if you shouldn't
take likin' TO me, I'm sure that in the
course of natur' somethin' will break"
The bold scout laid his hand on his
heart, as If to intimate that the ''some-
thin " which might be expected to
''break" was in that particular locality.
''Do go, Mr.. Ballard, for l don't feel
as though ought to stand talking with
You here. It's not likely we shall meet
again." said Innis.
II shall go, but l shall come to see
you again." said Ballard, moving to-
ward the open air. The scout paused
and turned once more toward his bene-
factress.
II hope this affair won't get you into
any trouble" he added thoughtfully
Don't think of me: / shall do very
WELL" returned Innis, hastily.
IF you should ever want protector,
or feel the need of friend, let me know
it, and I'll go through fire and water to
serve YOU" he added And invoking a
hearty blessing upon Innis Mckee, he
glided quietly out of the cavern, and the
cool, free air of heaven kissed his brow
As he hurried from the hills, he forgot
the dull ache occasioned by the blow
upon his head, and thought only of the
renegade's daughter, whose beauty had
quite conquered him. He resolved to
seek her again at the earliest opportu-
nifty, and do all in his power to make
a favorable impression upon her young
heart.
