TEST OF AN AMERICAN.
Habit of Neatness Established Ma
tionaIity to observant Boy.

A young American who recently
completed a course of study in an
English university brought home us
souvenir of his residence in that
classic place decided English ac-
cent, says the New York Press. He
stopped the other day at downtown
bootblacks stand to get his shoes
shined. The boy who attended to the
cleansing process smiled upon him
familiarly.
when you first began to come
here" he said, Il took you for an Eng
lishman. You talked like one, hut |
know now you amt"
How did you find that out?" asked
the American, obviously somewhat
disappointed.
Because you get your shoes shined
so often" was the startling reply. If
you were an Englishman you wouldn't
do that Nobody takes such good care
of their shoes as Americans. If 1t
were not for their daily shine a lot
of us fellows would have to go out OF
business and the sale of blacking and
polish would fall off one.half. Next
to Americans, Russians get a shine
most frequently. The English are the
worst of ALL They get shine only
once week. Even when otherwise
well dressed their shoes are gray and
out of shape. If ever you want tc
pass yourself off for an Englishmar
you'll have to cut out all this polish
ing. With such spick ad span shoes
even an accent that you can cut witt
knife won't carry you through.

Search for the Boil Weevil.

Search to determine whcteer the boil
weevil has crossed the Mississippi river
from Louisiana into the State Of Mis-
81 sippi is b,ing pro ;ecuted. At the
beginning OF the year it was announced
by government experts that the weevil
would probably make its first crossing
Of the Mississippi this fall, as it was
agreed that the river would prove no
barrier to the pests eastward march.
Recent cold weather, however, has re-
tarded the migration, and the present
search is conducted under the hope
that the weevil may be found stiH con
iined to the western side of the river,

Mississippi Cotton Association,

Reports recently sent out from jack
son to the effect that the Mississippi
Cotton Association is in distress for
want of funds, are not only calculated
to do the association harm, but are un-
true, according the officers of the asso-
citation. Secretary Woods emphatically
denies these reports, and states that on
the contrary the association is in better
condition than ever before.

THE NEW ORLEANS REUNION.

The reunion of Confederate
veterans held in New Orleans
this week was one of the most
successful and pleasurable gath,
erings the gallant old soldiers
have ever had. The city was
beautifully decorated for the oc-
CASTOR and splendid addresses
were made by Gen. Stephen ID
Lee and other distinguished
peakers.
In its report of the proceedings
the Associated Press says Rich
mond, Va, was selected as the
place for holding the next reun-
ion, the choice being made by
reclamation. The only COMPETE
tor of Richmond was Birming
ham, Ala, but the sentiment in
favor of Richmond was so strong
that the advocates of Birmingham
did now allow the matter to
come to a vote and withdrew in
favor of Richmond before a roll
call was ordered. The fact that
the monument of Jefferson Da-
Wis Is to be unveiled in Rich
mond next year was a potent in
lluence with many of the old
soldiers.
The present officers Of the or.
ganiZation were reelected by
accldmation, there being no nom
nations made against any of
them.
The reunion, viewed from a
business standpoint, was I'm
eventful. The chief new meas
ures of Importance TO be adopted
were one which will recommend

Shunsopayi Opens the Course.

The auction sale of seats for the RAN
dolph Entertainment course brought the
usual number together in Dubois q Gay
hall Friday night, and premiums to the
amount of sl2l % were bid for choice OF
seats.
The course has now about 800 patrons,
and there are still a few more tickets
which will be sold at the reduced rate OF
s1.25 for the six remaining attractions.
The first entertainment was presented
Tuesday evening by the wierd wonder
worker, with picturesque name OF Shun-
gopavi, and his company, consisting OF
Miss Alice Williams, violinist, Miss Lii
liam Haynes, 'cellist, and Miss Lavinia
Whitcomb, pianist. A full house greeted
the company and these young ladies APP
peared in trios and solos much to the de-
light of the musicloving public, which
appreciated their skillful playing.
Shungopavi. who claims to be full
blooded Moki Indian Medicine man and a
descendant of the Cliff Dwellers, and
whose looks substantiate his claim, gave
some account of his people, their customs
aud traditions and then proceeded to an
exhibition of tricks of legerdemain, or
wonder working, which aroused the in
terest and elected the applause of the
spectators.
This first in the series of the course was
a success and it is thought the succeeding
attractions will be equally satisfactory.
Hereafter, every entertainment will begi I
promptly at O'Clock, and those who are
not in their seats a that hour will not be
seated until pause in the program per-
mits of their entering without disturbing
others in the enjoyment Of a concert num-
ber, scene in play, a reading or lecture.
