1t speaks well for Thaw that ne mas

Young man you'll never catch any
of the golden fish that swim in the
worlds waters by standing with
your hands in your pockets and
watching another hold the pole. If
you expect fish you will have to dig
your own bait, put the tempting
morsel on your own hook, throw in
your own line, hold your own rod and
closely watch for the nibbles. Seeing
another cork go under, and tip bent
and line strained, won't do you the
least particle of good; loafng on the
shore gaping at others spreading or
drawing nets won t fill your stomach
or barrel. You might just as well
attempt, by taking hold of the straps
of your boots, to carry your sluggish
avoirdupois over mud puddle. The
one thing is about as sensible as the
other. You have got to fish for your
self-even cutting bait won't an
swer. It is the only pathway to sue
cess. Fish don t come for the whist
ling or wishing. They are wary and

to have them, you have got to go

The Journey of Life.

You will find this journey of life is
not always what it seems, nor that it
lies all the way through yerdent val
leys and f1owery meadows. 1t is not
always bright with the sunlight of
pleasure. You will not find bed of
roses to recline upon every time you
are weary. Don't expect it, or you
will very likely be disappointed.
You will find that about the time the
path gets past the schoolhouse it
switches off into some rather rough
country. You will very probably find
some rough hills to climb and some
deep gullies to cross. The briars will
tear your nice clothes and the stones
will wear out your fine shoes, and you
will have blistered heels and stone
bruises in plenty, before you get
through.
There is only one way to avoid all
this. That is to sit down, whining
beggar by the roadside, despised and
self-despising. But if you are going
through you must brace yourself for
hard climbing. You will find plenty
of roses by the way, but they grow
among thorns, and if you would
gather them you must not be afraid
of few scratches. All the fruits
worth having are near the tops of the
trees. You can have your game sup
pers and your quail on toast, too, but
the game is wild and the birds roost
high, and you can't put salt on their
tales to catch them. You can have
all this, we say but just as likely a.
not when you get it you will have no
teeth to chew it with, so you musn t
build too much on that.
Yes, young man, the glaciers of
life are hard to climb, and you will
never make the trip without guide.
The name of the guide is Work. !"
Tie yourself to him, young man, and
he will pull you through all right.
He is rough and rugged, as all
mountaineers are, but don't despise
him on that account. Don't despise
his homely garments; he is brave,
true-hearted fellow, who has led
thousands safely through and will do
the same by you if you will trust him.

fast. The more you try the more you
will find the absurditv of the pro
ceeding. Bob" for your own cells
that the only way to certainly get
them. They won't crawl up to your
feet and beg to be skinned.
Do your own fishing. The world is
a great herring pond and your chance
is as good as that of your neighbor,
If you choose the right kind of bait,
use diligence, have patience and take
advantage of time and tide. Golden
fishes swim about in plenty, and are
to be caught, but another cannot do
it for you, Every successful man
owes independence to individual
energy and enterprise. Standing on
a rock all day and looking and hoping
never yet filled basket; such scaly
proceeding won't cause the use OF
scales-you may depend upon that.
Every one has to fish for what he
gets. Others may possibly bait and
take off the prize from the hook and
paddle the boat, but the fishing has
got to be done by your own hands.
Every other means that you may try
will turn out failure.

Kindness Unspoken

Do you know the world is full of
kindness that was never spoken, and
that is not much better than no kind
ness at ALL The fuel in the stove
makes the room warm, but there are
great piles of fallen trees lying on
rocks and tops of hills where nobody
can get them; these do not make any
body warm. You might freeze to
death for want of wood in plain sight
Of these fallen trees, if you had no
means of getting the wood home and
making a fire of it. Just so in fam
lily; love is what makes the parents
and children, the brothers and sisters
happy. But it takes care never to
say word about it; if they keep it a
profound secret as if it were crime,
they will not be much happier than If
there was not any love among them
the house will seem cold, even in
summer; and if you live there you will
envy the dog when you call him poor
fellow.

ITALIAN IMMIGRANTS.

OF all things it is conceded that
there are good and bad This is the
opinion held by those who have in
vestigated the Italian immigrants
that have been brought to this coun-
try. Political capital has been man
ufactured to make the Mississippi
voters believe that Charles Scott has
been guilty either of bringing or
favoring policy of bringing unde-
sirable Italians to this State for farm
labor in the delta. This paragraph
clipped from the Mississippi column
of the Mobile Daily Register clears
away the mist as to that question;
Some time since President J, T.
Savage, of the Mississippi Immigra-
ton League, wrote to Signor L.
Scelsi, italian consul at New Orleans,
in regard to the boycott that the
italian government is said to have
placed on the state OF MISSISSIPPI,
prohibiting or discouraging Italians
from coming to this state. The reply
of the consul is not at all favorable,
taken in the view of those who are
clamoring for that class of farmers.
He states that Dr. Villari, vice con-
sui, has visited several places in Miss
issippi where Italians are employed,
among them the Rosedale plantation
of Hon. Charles Scott, candidate for
governor, and that ne finds condi-
tions on Mr.. SCOTS places very sat
isfactory-leaving the impression,
though he does not say so, that on
other farms in the Delta, conditions
are not satisfactory. From the tone
of the letter President Savage is of
the opinion that the New Orleans
consul endorses the action of his
government.

You may go with nae over the farm,

Wherever he went kept in his track

WHAT A YOUNG WIFE OUGHT
TO KNOWS 81, 600 Prize Book, by
Mrs. Emma f. A. Drake, NJ d..
286 PIP; Vir Publishing Co., Phil
adelphia, Pa.
No words of praise are too strong
to speak in commentator of this
splendid book. 1t takes the subjects
concerning which young women
everywhere are so ignorant, and lifts
them into the exalted place they
must ever hold in the minds Of the
intelligent and pure No other class
are SO entirely without information
as most brides, young wives and
young mothers. Three thousand
years ago the inspired writer declared
the people are destroyed for lack of
knowledge, and the statement is
still true today. This book to young
wives and mothers should have been
written centuries ago, and no time
should now be lost in bringing it into
the hands of every young woman of
marrlageabie age in the land. 1t tells
every young wife just what she needs
to know, and saves from the blind
laundering and sad mistakes which
have wrecked SO many lives. It
equips the young wife to discharge
intelligently the duties of her re-
sponsible and sacred relation. It's
chapters are ennobling and inspiring
1t places the whole subject in the
realm of pure and sacred thought and
contemplation
A series of books upon personal and
social purity Of which this is the con-
Guiding volume, constitutes the most
marked advance ever made in what
Frances E. Willard pronounced the
Latest and greatest crusade. These
books will do effective work in field
too long neglected. Men and women,
young and old, everywhere, need the
information and inspiration which
these books impart. This book to
young wives. by Mrs. Drake, is a
precious jewel in splendid setting.
For its writing its author received a
prize of One Thousand Dollars, but
every young woman who reads the
book will become the possessor of
knowledge more valuable than rubies.

Sunhower Tocsin.

Charles Scott S record is an open
book to all Mississlppians who care to
scan it's pages that have no blots,
scars or erasures that would tend to
indicate that any act should be erased,
blurred or concealed in any maner.
His frank honesty; fearlessness Of
character and sterling commercial in
tegrity are the characteristics that
are winning him popularity over the
state. Added to these is charm of
personality that appeals to every cit
izen of our state. We wonder why
men can stoop so low as to impunge a
motive; decry action or belittle in any
manner. the promptings of the heart
of such a man. Surely their parti-
SanShip has so overcome their Judge
ment and their malice their common
sense. Charlie Scott will be Cover
nor of Mississippi just as true as he
lives to see the primaries and no bet
ter governor and no more cOnscien-
tious citizen will have ever held that
exalted position.
