Be q Man.

Foolish spending is the father of
poverty. Do not be ashamed of hard
work. Work for the best salaries and
wages you can get, but work for half
price, rather than be idle. Be your
own master, and do not let society
or fashion swallow up your individ-
uality-hst, coat and boots. Do not
eat up or wear out all that you earn.
Compel your selfish body to spare
something for profits sake. Be stingy
to your own appetite, be merciful to
others necessities. Help others, and
ask no help for your self. See that
you are proud Let your pride be of
the right kind. Be too proud to
wear coat you cannot buy, too
proud to be in company that you
cannot keep up with in expenses, too
proud to lie Or steal or cheat, too
proud to be stingy in short, be a
man of integrity and individuality.

And Uncle Sam Must Pay Good Prices

Increased difficulty is being expe-
rienced in obtaining horses and
mules for the army. Bids, which
have just been opened, show that
prices generally have been increased.
For the cavalry 1875 horses are to be
bought at an average price Of $175
each. The artillery corps is to buy
nearly $50. for which $211 is the
average price. Army mules heavy
enough to do draught work bring
1888 each, and nearly 1,1O0 of these
have been contracted for. Lead
mules, somewhat lighter in weight,
bring $168, and pack mules, still
lighter, s131. The quartermaster's
department says that army mules
are bought practically by the pound.

A prominent New Orleans bust

to China and Japan, with which

told q Herald reporter something OF
Southern and Louisiana political sen

al think that you can safely say"
remarked Mr.. Young, "that for the
first time in 6 quarter of q century
there will go from Louisiana to the
next Republican national conven-
tion a delegation that will act as
unit and in perfect harmony. Fur
thermore, I think this delegation, OF
which l expect to be member, will
be enthusiastically in favor of re-
nominating President Roosevelt.
That is the way things look now,
and / do not see why there should
be any change. / travel a great deal
in many Southern States, and
wherever go the people are for the
President unreservedly, and insist
that he be given another term. The
Democrats talk this quite as freely
as the Republicans. 1t would be nc
surprise, indeed, should Roosevelt
run, to see him carry two or three
of the Southern States. He would
do this not only on account of hi'
personal popularity, but because
many of our people believe that his
continuance in Office means con-
tinuanee Of national prosperity"

John Temple Graves, of Georgia,
was reported by the Associated Press
a few days since to have said in an
interview that President Roosevelt
said In a little speech that he made
in the Georgia Building at the
jamestown Exposition on Georgia
Day, when he was being assured that
if he was the Republican candidate
for President again that he would
get the electoral vote of Georgia,
that he might consent to accept an
other nomination If he thought, by
so doing, he could break the solid
vote of the South by getting the
electoral vote of at least one Of the
Southern States.
Mr.. Graves, in his statement cor
recting this interview, says that while
the President did not use the expires
sions attributed to him, that yet he
(Mr. Graves) did say to the Presi,
dent on that occasion that if he 1.-THE
President) would accept the Repub'
lican nomination next year, that he
would be sure to get the electoral
vote of more than one Southern
State, and, in his opinion, many
Southern States.

"Looking little further ahead,
the New York, New Haven and

systems are planning connecting
road to cross ON a bridge from Port
Morris, on the mainland to Long
Island, sending Boston trains into
the tunnels and so on south without
the present long ferry round New
York harbor, and sending freight
(Which will be rigidly barred from
the tunnels) round through Brooklyn
to Bay Ridge and thence by short
ferry to the monster new freight
yards at Greenville. Moreover, the
tubes will enable the Pennsylvania
road to push its express from Chi
cago right out to Montauk Point,
and buildI there in the future, if it
sees fit, an ocean terminal. This
would cut off two hundred miles of
water on the way to Europe and
save half day for passengers and

Mississippi is not the only State
