La Memoriam.

At his home in Wahalak, KEN
per County, Miss, August 10th,
1907, MI. Tom O'Brien departed
this life after a sojourn of eighty
years.
He was born in Mayo County,
ireland, November 25tb, 1896;
married when quite young, and
for more than fifty years husband
aud wife together walked life's
road. Now they have been sep
arated tor a little season, to be
re united on the "other side.
The greatest shadow that ever
darkened their home was the ira
gic death. Of their only son, John,
Which occurred op Deem b er
23rd, 1906.
Mr. O'Brien's death was of q
long period. Some time before
his departure he realized his con
dition-knew tfrat,heswas near~
ing the"close OF his earthly pill
g~rin.ege, anaAwass .pften, heard to
say Il arh only waiting for the
roll call" His only and affee>
tionate daughter, Anne, was a
neutrality-suspicious. at his bedside
through illness, ever
ready to minister 10 his comfort,
and did all that was possible for
him, but to no avail.
lie enlisted in the Confederate
Army, and remained a faithful
soldier in his country's service
until wounded at Chickamauga,
which resulted the loss OF a
leg.
For nine years he had charge
o. the Wahalak postofhoe.
He met every duty promptly,
and discharged every obligation
with fidelity. lie could be de-
pended upon-a loyal and faith
ful friend. Every good cause re-
ceived from him a ready response
he never turned "a deaf ear to
the cry tot the needy and sick,
nor withheld from them the help
Ing hand. His straightforward
way OF dealing with his fellow
men won Tor him their conf.
dence, as well as the approval OF
his own conscience.
In the Shuqualak cemetery,
near the loved son gone before,
they laid him to rest with every
token OF loving esteem and trib~
ute ut respect.
lie leaves an aged wife, a low
ing daughter, aud six grandchil
.dren to mourn his death. The
hand OF affiction has been laid
heavily upon this iamily-their
cup OF sorrow has been filed to
ahe brim But God IS faithful,
and will. give them Strength to
bear lite's heaviest burdens.

IS 1t KIeptOndnId?

Strait-laced folks refuse 70 believe In
heptomania, and call it by a stronger
and shorter word. yet II is really COM
mon enough in everyday life. Most of
Us must confess to the periodical pur-
Joining Of at least one particular article
which finds its way mysteriously into
our bags and pockets. Men are spe-
ciaIly guilty in the matter OF matches.
Many women have strange and weird
hiding places for the household boxes
because they are always being carried
away by husbands end male friends.
a much worse phase OF this Thought
less thieving IS the keeping Of other
peoples books To lend novel OF maya
zine means 10 part with il for ever. and
even his name and address legibly
written on the title nage does not bring
his property back 20 the sorrowing
owner
1t is rarely that a true book-loveT
is the culprit. but generally one OF those
unfortunately constituted creatures who
cannot read a book twice, and credi
their friends with the same Z, ling.

Il was a man who was So shocked ct

Good Points Men
See In Women

Many women plead guilty to dressing
10 please = man-to themselves, If not
TO the world at large. Woman wants
man to admire her just the same
Her clothes, from the crown of her
head 10 the tips Of her boots, are
planned with this in view-to please the
men. Perhaps it would be more &C
curate 70 reverse the order and to say
from the tips Of the boots to the crown
of the head, for II is a fact that most
men notice a wOman's boots sooner
than her headgear.
Men Ike little feet, but as all feet
cannot be little they also admire yell
shaped feet, and all feet can be well
shaped.
) pretty foot is a weu-dressed foot
and it is easy to dress a foot we'll II
is curious TO see with what unsightly
footwear some women provide them
selves, when they could with the same
outlay be so daintily shod.
Then there is something about the
light-colOred boot that appeals to a
mans sense Of romance It makes a
woman more ethereal than the prosaic
black shoe.
Men like dainty manicuring. They are

sent a really well kept pair OF hands
she has done a great deal in the battle
Tor admiration
Men Ike bare hands. There is some
thing babyish about a pair OF bare
hands, all devoid Of rings. The sight
appeals to q mans chivalry.
Red hair is supposed to attract many
men Next TO that they Ike fPf-HfaCl
tresses. The medium shades are less at
tractiye, though gold colored hair is
very acceptable to mans sense Of
the beautiful.
Men like reposefuI hands. They hate
hands that twitCh and play with this
and with that. They ike little child
ish hands, fun Of dimples. hands that
like to lie in the lap and rest.
Men Ike nice hair dressing. It is
really the hair they notice, and not the
style OF the COinures ii is the condition
of the hair itself that they observe.
Neglected looking hair they notice at
They IKE. hair that shines, hair that
| is in place with each hair IN studied
TeDOse. They like hair that looks as
though IT had been prettily arranged.
Red haired women are fortunate. Men
admire them so those who possess such
tresSes have no need to regret II. as enc
so often hears them doing. Men think
that such hair is beautiful
Men Ike red cheeks, and the red
checked woman has become fashionable
4 doctor Gays that the way to get red
cheeks IS to pinch them with the finger

Ask a man which Of three women he
admires most and he will unhestiating-

plain Bingham OF a costly silk. What
he likes is the look Of extreme neatness.
