The weekly papers of Mississippi are
making a loyal fight for the home mer-
chant and against the mail order houses,
publishing each week strong articles in
the ready-print side of their paper. 1t
is little discouraging for the. editor,
however, if the home merchants do not
give him their patronage. If they use
stationery printed by foreign houses and
do not advertise their wares can they
expect the local paper to keep up this
campaign9 It is gun loaded at both
ends.

Hon. Walter Clark of the Cotton As
ISOLATION is giving to the people Of Mis-
sissippi some wholesome advice these
days, and it is safe to follow the coun-
sci of this gentleman. He is man Of
vast experience and does not say what
to do unless he knows that 1t is practi-
cable. With reference to diversifcation
he says: elf we would see prosperity
in Mississippi this fall, let us plant corn
and grasses abundantly and then all Of
the cotton we can work and gather. To
every farmer I would say, see that your
tenants plan and cultivate their gardens
well, and do not forget your own. This
policy will reduce very much your buy
ing bills. If you are buying feed a
few acres of sorghum broadcast, three
bushels to the acre, will give you sup
ply of green feed by the middle Of May,
which will reduce your feed bill.''

1t has been contended by some for
years that Mississippi had within her
borders valuable deposits Of phosphate
rock which is largely used in the manu-
facture Of fertilizers. A recent visit OF
Land Commissioner Nall to the coast,
taken together with notice that appears
in the Manufacturers Record to the effect
that G. H. Wood of Moss Point would
develop phosphate properties discovered
on Greenwood Island, leaves the impress
sion that something has been found down
there, although it would come as some
thing of surprise if the immediate
coast country was to develop phosphate
mines. There is likely good phosphate
in the state and it is to be hoped that the
geological survey will show this to be a
fact.

A BASEBALL STORY.
The Pictures of . Pitcher That Were
 on Exhibition.

The Pictures of Pitcher That Were
 on Exhibition.
 Dad Clark, once pitcher of the New York club, who was perhaps the most unconscious humorist the game has ever known, could be made to believe the tallest story ever told, provided the teller kept a serious face, and this sublime faith of Clark's caused him to be "stung" on many occasions.
 One of the most notable cases wherein Dad got "stung" happened one morning when that genial soul and prince of good fellows, Parke Wilson, the New York catcher at that time, came hurriedly into the clubhouse just when the fellows were preparing to don their baseball clothes for morning practice and excitedly exclaimed:
 Say, men, what do you think {? As l came to the park this morning l walked by Siegel, Cooper X Co.'S place and saw big crowd gathered about their largest show window.
 Getting curious myself, I went up to see what the trouble was, and what do you imagine caused the street to become blockaded? Why, nothing more than this-they have the entire window filled with canned goods, and on each can is the pie ture of Dad Clark" shouted Parke.
 What" shrieked Dad as he be- gan pulling on his street clothes. "Me picter on cans in Siegel-C Coop CTS window? Now, you fat heads, see whose de popular guy of dis punk outfit! Pm de little boy who's fillin' up dis park every day, an I'm goin' ter strike for a t'ousand dollar raise in me salary right away. Me picter on cans in Siegel-C Cooper's window! If de folks at home could only see me now~
 All during this spiel Dad was hustling on his duds, and the mo- ment he got the last garment fas- tened he tore out of the clubhouse and raced for dear life toward Sic gel & Cooper's big store.
 He arrived there all right, and, rushing up to the window, he saw the cans, just as Parke Wilson said they could be found, and on the front of each can was the picture of a great fat red lobsterLDu- luth Herald.

The Evolution of the "DoIl."

A relic of the old days, probably not much more than two centuries ago, before little girls began to call their toy babies "dolls" instead of puppets" or "poppets," is to be found in pretty poppet," term of endearment still sometimes heard. No doubt "popsy wopsy" is simply an improved version of this. Pup pet" is descended, of course, from the French "poupee" and the Lat in "pupa," little girl or doll, from both of which have come other Eng fish words. "Poupee" has given us puppy" so called because the tiny dog was naturally petted as play thing, and the Latin word survives in the sense of a chrysalis and has a descendant in the "pupil' of the aye, the "baby" that any one may see reflected in it.-London Chron- ic)e.

Every Man Ills Own Dictor

The average man cannot afford to employ physician for every slight ailment or injury that may occur in his family, nor can he afford to neglect them. as so slight an injury as the scratch of pin has been known to cause the loss of a limb. Hence every man must from neces- sity be his own doctor for this class of ailment. Success often depends upon prompt treatment. which can only be had when suitable medicines are kept at hand. Chamberlain's remedies have been in the market for many years and enjoy a good reputation.

Stole His Own Grip.


 A man was arrested the other day for stealing his own grip off an ex- press wagon.
 'It was a game that he had work ed with success on local expressmen for several years," said the man who had been instrumental in bringing about the trickster's downfall. He moved frequently and always after dark. Invariably, when the trunks had been piled high into the wagon, the schemer appeared with a suit case which he wished hauled, just as matter of accommodation. The unsuspecting driver obligingly ac- cepted the extra bundle, which somehow was always missing at the other end of the line. Later the owner of the grip appeared and raised no end of a row over its loss. He claimed that it contained some valuable goods, for which he de- manded compensation. The dam ages claimed were excessive, but in all cases the expressman rather than have any trouble compromised for an amount that fully paid the man for any risk incurred in steal ing from himself" New York pOet

Leupp Visits NavaiOS

Francis F.. Leupp. commissioner of Indian affairs. from Washington. D. C.. and John B. Harker. of Santa Fe, arrived at the Shiprock Indian agency last week to look over the feasibility of the velnment put ting in big irrigation canal to cover several thousand acres of land on the Navajo reservation. The canal would have to come out at Pine river. about 30 miles above Blanco on the San Juan river. and its construction would entail an ex- panse of over one million dollars. It would cover fertile territory of level land, large part of which is not included in the reservation. The government has just completed lot of new buildings and other improvement at the Shiprock agency. one of the most important in either New Mexico or Arizona. The building of the proposed ditch would add greatly to the production of San Juan county.
