Bad Treatment

That mans Mh lman.t ' to man
makes millions mourn was never
more strongly ~exempliied than
in the case of William Brandon
who during the latter part Of
October was found lying by the
track Of the Mobile and Ohio
railroad near Guntown by the
foreman of the section, in an I'M
conscious condition. The sec
ton foreman took him back to
Guntown and placed him in the
depot. He was carried from
Guntown to Cairo by special
agent Glen Lea and placed in
the hospital. He was kept in
the hospital until the night OF
the 18th when acting on the
instruction of Superintendent
Moore he was put out, the Super
intendant stating that the road
would pay no further expenses
Of keeping him, that he was beat
ing his way on the train and
that they were not liable for
any damages. The road furnish
ed transportation for Brandon
and Policeman Davage from
Cairo to Tupelo and the policeman
told Mayor Anderson that he was
instructed to carry Brandon to
the court house Of the county in
which he was hurt and leave
him there. Mr.. Anderson told
Davage that we had no author
ity to take charge Of him and
that if he could find any law
under which he could arrest him
(Davage) for his part in the
transaction he would place him
under arrest. Mr.. Anderson
searched for this law but failing
Davage was let go without being
arrested. Brandon was abandon
ed by Davage and left to his
fate. He was struggling around
town and Marshall Robertson
was called on to take charge of
him which he did and placed him
in the i2il. DIR. KeyeS was called
to see Brandon and found him in
a most critical condition. His
right arm was broken and the
vertebra at the point of the
neck was dislocated and his
mind almost gone. In the alb
sence of Sheriff Kelly MI. Witt
summoned a jury who declared
Brandon a fit subject for the
asylum where he h 8 been sent.
The action of the superintendent
in the turning Brandon adrift
on the county is being severely
condemned. 1t may be true that
Brandon was q tramp and steal
ing a ride on one Of its trains but
when the road had undertaken
to care fer him, which all the
facts go to show it felt under
obligations to do, it should have
kept him until his body was at
least sound. Brandon stated
that he was kicked off the train
by the crew; this cannot be prov
en- but he was found along the
side the track and was taken
in charge by officials of the road.
The part played in Brandon's
case is not in keeping with the
record of the road in such cases
and we feel certain that had the
matter come directly under the
notice of Mr.. Russell or General
Manager Taylor, Brandon would
have been more humanity treated.

The next democratic campaign
should be fought on the line OF
tariff reform. We have been
able to elect a president twice in
forty years and only when tariff
reduction was the main issue.
In the recent election democratic
gains were main in those sections
where there is a strong sentiment
in favor of tariff revision. That
is the issue before thepeoplc and
that alone should be brought
prominently to the front in the
next campaign.

The following from an ex-

IF you would increase your
happiness and prolong your life
forget your neighbours faults
Forget all the SANDER you have
heard. Forget the fault finding
and give little thought to the
cause which provoked it. Forget
the peculiarities Of your friends
and only remember the good
points which make you fond OF
them. Forget all personal qua
rels you, may have heard by &C
cident. and which if repeated
would seem one thousand times
worse than they are Oblitera-e
everything terrible from yeste

Alas for the Letter
That Came Back.

II ARIS, Aug. S.-Just one figure Of
a street number wrong on the
address of letter has resulted
in divorce DR.. Georges Pireau was
the petitioner He is young physi-
clan of Chartres. He told the court a
most remarkable story.
Some months ago he was called
upon to serve his thirteen days in the
army and went to Dion TO the mill
tary camp. He left his wife at home,
but later she was to join him at Dion
and did so. When he returned home
after his military service among the
letters was one from the postOfhce,
undelivered- 1t was addressed to
man in the Boulevard Montparnasse,
Paris, but bore a wrong number, and
so the postoffice, as is usual, returned
1t to the address of the sender.
But DR.. Pireau was not the sender,
although the letter was written on his
Office note paper. The writer was
fellow physician and a former friend
of his and his family.
The letter told with what delight
Partisan friend, for he was coming for
the week end But he would not be
alone, and the friend was not to men

he wrote, and we will spend some
days IN Paris. Then she will go on to
her husband, who is doing his mill
tary service in Dion
DR.. Pireau told the court that until
he read the letter he had not enter
tanned the slightest suspicion that his
wife was untrue to him. He had i'm
mediately confronted her and her
lover with the letter and they had
confessed. He had wounded the lover
and false friend in a duel, and now,.
not wishing to belong to the brother
hood of husbands of Moliere, he
prayed for a divorce He got it with

notated or underlined, and also said
that certain page in Nine. de Staeps

reminded his readers that Napoleon
drank a great deal of coffee and used
to read at meals when in Egypt. The

READS HIS OWN. FATE.
One passage marked in Mercier's
Visions Philosophiques, on page
which is torn, provides food for re-
iection. Mercier tells OF a mythical
person called Misnas. Misnas was
honored as the most valiant captain
OF India and eager crowds held him in
much respect and admiration. He
was able to approach the presence of
God, being one of the first to receive
that awful honor He received it with
an ironic smile, as though Indifferent
or superior to his own destiny. Mie-
mas looked out over the future, first
on the side of happiness. He saw
his victorious career; he beheld con
quered towns and subjugated peo-
pies, and poets all eager to learn of
his great deeds and to transmit them
to posterity Misnas might have
long lived happy and contented had
he not wished to know the end of his
triumphant destiny. What change!
A Jealous King dispossessed him and
exiled him, and those whom he had
covered with favors tore down his
ettigy and broke it in a thousand
pieces, while inscriptions bearing his
name were obliterated. Misnas re-
mained motionless and astonished.
Needless of his laurels he had lived
tor years above the noise of the bril-
liant fetes given in his honor and
then he had heard voice whispe.c-
ing, Thou shalt die in exile and be
forgotten. How often did he curse
the day when he wished to unveil the
futurel And the page on which this
legend was written was torn by Napo-

Margaret Wycherley Assumes Six
of Nine Roles in Playlet.
n r ARGARET WYCHERLEY is
NH to play six of the nine char
lvl acters in the little playlet

NH to play six of the nine char
lvl acters in the little playlet
which introduces her to vaude-
vile IN San Francisco next Sunday
afternoon at the OTpheun. She will
be remembered as the leading woman
at the Alcazar four or five years
ago, who first presented here plays
of the Irish genius, William Butler
Yeats. 1t was these plays which first
attracted New York's critical atten-
ton to the young actress. and her
long run of Yeats matinees at the
Hudson Theater is theater history.
"1n Self Defense" the little drama
which she is to produce here, was
written for her by her manager, Bay
ard Vellier, former San Francisco
newspaper man. 1t had a twelve
weeks ruin in New York. and will be
played here by practically the same
company.
On the new bill with Miss Wych-
crley will be Mile Therese Rentz
and her trained steed, Mayme Rem
ington and her picaninnies and the
Oliteira trio, virtuosi.
"Whirl-I-Gig' is having a merry
run at the Davis. Rice, Cady and
North win more encores for "a Lone
some Town" than they have material
70 respond with, and North's bur-
lesque on grand opera is unquestion-
ably the best thing he has ever done
here Rosemary Glosz wears gowns
that dazzle, and sings to charms, and
Mr. Lynch .and the other principals
are even more entertaining than they
were in "Fiddle-Dee-Dee" So sue
cessful, in fact, is "Whirl-I-Gig" that
its successor has not yet been Sc
lected.
There is enough thrill-compelling
matter in "The Plunger," as produced
at the, Central Theater, to make half
dozen ordinary melodramas. and no
member of the extensive cast has
sirlecure. Will Walling, Jane Kel-
ton, Juliet Chandler and Oral
Humphrey carry most of the indus
trial burden, and the unseen forces
behind the scenery are also conspicu-
ously in evidence through their work.

State Pear Growers Will Unite
to Check the Blight.

orchards of this State by this dread
disease.
The call for the meeting was issued
by the Sacramento Valley Develop
ment Association after consultation
with the pear growers and with the
approval expressed by letter of more
than one hundred growers, including
many of the, most prominent orchard
lists of the State.
The pear blight is comparatively
new in California, but it is an old
disease and its ravages have left trail
of ruined pear and apple orchards
from the Atlantic to the Pacific. The
pear orchards of the Southern States
have been destroyed and unless
strenuous measures be adopted Cali
fornia pear orchards will soon be a
thing of the past
However, there is a remedy. Pro-
fessor H. B. sWaite of the United
States Department of Agriculture,
one of the leading plant bacteriolo-
gists of this country, has studied pear
blight for several years. He has de-
veloped the bacteria under the micro
scope, has created the disease by in
oculating healthy trees and by long
series of patient investigations he has
acquired thorough knowledge of the
disease and means OF controlling it.
Professor Waite recommends cut
ting out diseased portions of the trees
and declares that where this is prop
erly done the practical control of the
disease is certain. In his own prac-
.tice Professor Waite demonstrates the
correctness of this statement, for he
is himself a pear grower and main
tains large orchard in Maryland,
despite the ravages of the blight there.
The success of this method has been
demonstrated in California and when
the meeting of pear growers is held
some of the best orchardists in this
State will tell of success attained in
protecting their orchards by proper
cutting.
Results achieved in the Sacramento
Valley this year prove conclusively
that the remedy is success when
