HOW MOOSE is sTALKED.
1t Is Easy to Creep Up on Big Bull
In Canoe.

1t Is very easy matter, requiring
little skill but silence, to glide along
in the twilight or moonlight, keeping
the canoe in the shadow of bordering
trees, until, when rounding the point,
the great amorphous bulk of moose
looms large in the middle distance.
If old at the game, it is no trick to
steal forward each time his head goes
under water in search of the tender
roots, until within easy range, says a
writer in Recreation. Thus l have ad-
vanced until forced to stop for safety s
sake, for bull moose is not an animal
to be trified with. / know of two fell
lows who, only last fall, paid for their
curiosity with narrow escape. 1t
was before the season opened. They
were out at dusk in their canoe, float
ing along some yards from shore, and
son rounding a point saw moose a
short distance ahead. They were un-
armed, but felt no fear, for they ex-
pected every second that the beast
would turn and make off into the
woods. Nearer and nearer they glided
until with the rush of an avalanche
he was upon them. There was moth
ing for it but to dive into the water
and swim, which they did, reaching
safety on the opposite bank. After
smashing the frail canoe into pieces,
the moose calmly went ashore and
disappeared in the woods.

ALL FOR WANT OF HATPIN.
DisagreeabIe Experience to Two In
Sacred Edifice.

The woman who had just purchased
transformation" had a rather dis
agreeable experience the first time
she wore it to church. Happening to
bow too low at one point of the serv-
ice, her hat slid off, carrying her wig
with it and exposing the little wisp of
hair which was all that was left of
her natural crown of glory and which
was screwed up in a most unbecoming
fashion. A relative, kneeling beside
her, made a dive for the chapeau and
succeeded in Receiving and replacing
it before its loss had been noticed.
But the transformation" had disap-
peared. After awhile man in the
pew in front reached for his handker
chief, which he had placed inside his
hat on a hassock. His hand became
entangled in something which appar-
emily moved. 1t was the TRANSITIONAL
tion," but he thought only of mice,
and gave vent to his surprise and dis
comfiture in some unmelodious sounds
that greatly scandalized the congre-
cation.

WHERE INGENUITY WON OUT.
Betting Man Had Studied Conditions
of Wager.

c. S. Rolls, the English aeronaut
and motorist, was talking in New
York about the aeroplane
Il think the Wrights will win," he
said. "Santos-Dumont is ingenious,
but the Wrights are more ingenious
still. They are as ingenious as-as a
betting friend of mine"
Mr.. Rolls smiled and resumed:
MY friend, Capt. Bragge, bet an
athlete that he could not hop up a GER
tain long flight Of steps two at time.
The athlete took the bet, and made
the trial. But there were Al steps to
the flight, and therefore, after making
20 hops the man found that he had
lost. He paid up, but accused Capt.
Bragge of sharp practice.
Sharp practice!' said Bragge, in
dignantly. Well, I'll make the same
bet with you that l can do it.
THE other, expecting to win his
money back, assented
Capt. Bragge then hoped up 40
steps in 20 hops and, hopping back
one, finished in the prescribed manner
and won the bet"

His expression upon this question
soon to confront the public veal OF
Mississippi is sound and but further
reveals how completely Democratic
Hon. Chas. Scott is in his views;
yea Jeffersonian if you will permit it:
81 do not believe in compulsory edu-
cation in this country, nor is it nee
essary here, but | submit that the
proud state of Mississippi, the state
of Davis and Lamar, George and
Walthall and many other eminent
statesmen and publicists, should see
to it that proper educational facilities
are afforded all the children, ranging
from the kindergarten and common
school instruction up to the highest
classical and scientific education at
tainabIe under modern methods, not
neglecting by any means the indus
trial, chronological and agricultural
branches, which are of the greatest
practical benefit in properly develop
ing the varied resources of our great
state.

A newspaper man has many ups
and downs, and in the cOures Of a
few years gains much,valuable knOwl-
edge as regards human nature. For
instance, some men will read the
paper a year or more and when the
bill for subscription is presented claim
they never subscribed for it, yet
their names were not placed there
without authority. Newspaper men
don't generally do business that way
Such men belong to that class who
appear to think that the publisher
has no obligations to meet for paper
and labor. Then there is class that
get angry and order their paper
stopped if paragraph appears that
does not suit their views. They be
long to that narrow minded set that
are detriment to any town or com
munity. We might go on and emu
merate many other troubles that con-
front the newspaper man but out of
the whole number the two mentioned
above are the most despicable, says
the Rlokelv (Ga) Reporter.

The term printers devil" as APP
piled to the boy who does the choring
around printing Office has peculiar
romantic history. In early days print
ing was styled the BLACK art, " and
printers were supposed to be in league
with Satan. But it was in the time OF
Aldus Minutius in Venice that the
matter took a serious turn. T1iS was
the famoua printer who first published
the Greek and Roman classics. He
took into his employ a negro boy who
was homeless on the streets of Venice.
The people supposed the boy was an
imp from satan and that he assisted IN
printing. Mobs collected about the
office and were about to wreck 1t when
the boy was brought forward and ex-
hibited showed that he was flesh and
blood but he was still called the prin-
ter's devil' and every boy in his posi-
ton since has been so called. Elk.

The following is from an open letter
written by the Democratic voters oil
Bolivar county to Hon. Chas Scott.
In addition to this your integ-
rity commands the confidence of all
who know you, and even your enc
mics rely on your word in political,
personal or business matters as they
would on the bond of any man. The
prompt action taken by you and your
wife in paying in full, at personal
loss of more than $40, 900, all the de
positors of the Bank of Rosedale,
when you were neither legally nor
morally bound for their deposits, was
a noble and most unusual act. We
who know something of your finan-
cial condition at that time know that
you and Mrs Scott mortgaged your
property and that you worked late
every night in your Office throughout
the summer as well as at other times
to get the money to do this. And we
also know that the poor people, white
and black, who had their money in
the bank were saved from distress by
your efforts, and that you paid them
first because they were in the greatest
need. 1t is such facts as this, Mr..
Scott, that have helped to win you
the confidence and esteem of your
fellow citizens, and we, who know you
best, fully realize that your services
would be of great benefit to the pub
lie and have hoped for some years to
see you in the United States senate.
Since you have determined not to be
a candidate for that position, we are
gratified that you have offered for
the governorship at great pecuniary
sacrifice, which is further evidence of
your patriotic and public spirit.
Knowing that you will make an ideal
governor, in whom the whole state
will take pride, we write you this
open letter to tender you our active
and to say that so far as we
know and believe, you will get the
support of the anti-Scott party"

Keep Up With the Children.

There is in every community class
of people who seem incapable of re-
ceiving any education outside of their
own limited experience. Life runs
along easily enough for them until
their children grow up an begin to
look forward to something broader
for themselves Then the battle for
supremacy begins in earnest. The
child seems ungrateful to the parent
and the parent seems tyranious to
the child.
1t is very hard for a mother who
has laid down precise ideas of how
her life and belongings shall be ar
ranged, and finds that life fails to ar
range itself according to her plans;
to find that her own daughter is one
of the chief opponents of her ideas.
And yet this is exactly what happens
to the woman who fails to learn.
Progression is the law of the uni
verse, and one who attempts to re-
tard it's wheels is sure to be crushed
beneath them There is something
pityless in the power that so often
carries the child so far beyond the
parent. 1t is the law of heaven that
love should go downward to the child
not backward to the parent. Al
true mothers love is sacriiicial of self
and asks no return. No child love.
however tender, can equal a mothers
love and it is not natural that If
should. A great deal has been said
of the duty of children to their pa
rents when every thinking man and
woman must recognize that the chief
obligation is due from the parent to
the children. One obligation is to
keep abreast of the times with the
child, 50 that the parent may be a
mentor in time of need-a safe. I'M
falling guide and companion; not an
incubus. To do all this is to fulfil
the highest sense the trust heaven has
laid upon parents.

In the struggle and battle of life
there IS none strong enough to bear
the contest alone All need sympathy
and help, and they must have it or
sure disaster or defeat will overtake
them. He who thinks himself safe,
when his life-bark rides gaily before
the breeze with sails filled with winds
of prosperity, is often the weakest of
the weak when the storm and tempest
come Thus in the hour of sorest
trial many q weak woman has often
been brave to endure where Stalwart
manhood has succombed and drifted
helpless and discouraged before the
gale of adversely. Life is sweetened
and made beautiful by sympathy-its
asperities are toned down and it's
rough places made smooth by the
touch of gentle hand or tone of a
loving voice-even the severest trials
may be endured and tie heaviest
burdens borne when aided by a very
little thoughtful and precious help of
this kind.
