Anne of Denmark.

Anne of Denmark, queen consort of
James |. of the British Isles, was
born at Scanderburg, Denmark, De-
cember II, 1875. Her father, Freder-
ic H., king of Denmark, was the rich
est prince of the north of Europe
Her mother, Sophia of Necklenburg,
is said to have been woman possess
ing rare character and pronounced
domestic virtues. But whatever may
have been her charming qualities, she
certainly was deficient in the knowl-
edge of rearing children, for Princess
Annette subject of this sketch-was
in her ninth year before she was al
lowed to learn to walk, being carried
about in the arms of her nurses. That
this was due to nothing short of igno-
rance and neglect is proven by the
fact that after arriving in her teens
the Princess Anne was famous for
her sprightly and graceful dancing"
and certain it is that she was we'll
formed and in all her life, after her
ninth year, she had the most active
use of her limbs.
When in her fifteenth year Princess
Anne of Denmark became the queen
consort of James VI. of Scotland. Four
teen years later her royal husband be-
came king of the British Isles. Thus
Anne was the first queen consort of
Great Britain and Ireland.
Her character in some ways was
childish and weak, for it is told of
her that she had her spells of sullen-
ness and pouting, sometimes lasting
for days together, when she was con-
She also had a turbulent temper,
causing unpleasant domestic scenes
at times, greatly to the kings annoy
ance. However, barring these faults,
Anne was in many ways an admirable
woman and more than fond mother.
On the whole, she and James got on
very lovingly together, and he never
gave her a rival When Queen Anne
died, in 1919, the king was almost in
consolable and never in the seven
years that he survived her did he once
contemplate a second marriage. Anne
of Denmark left two surviving chill
dren-Charles, Prince of Wales, after
ward the illfated King Charles l. of
Great Britain and Ireland, and Eliza
beth, Queen of Bohemia.-Mary Ora

California was like fairyland to
Gertrude. To pick roses when she
knew her playmates in Philadelphia
were rolling snowballs, and to wear
the same white muslin dress on
Christmas day which she wore to Bes-

passed any of "Alice's Adventures in
Wonderland" she thought.
Every day she saw new and curious
sights, but nothing interested her
quite as much as her visit to the
Chinese mission. Aunt Rachel taught
there Tuesday evenings. 1t did not

Used she might go one night, provided
she took long nap in the afternoon,

The mission looked just as it did
in the pictures Aunt Rachel had sent
her; the four oilcloth covered tables
at which six people-three teachers
and three scholars-could sit, and the
walls were hung with pictures and
texts, some of them in English. and
some in those queer Chinese charac-
tiers that Gertrude declared looked
like chicken tracks.
Aunt Rachers scholar, Chew Wing,
was the first to come; his square
toed black slippers with heavy white
soles shutting loosely as he walked,
and his long queue dangling at his
heels Chew Wing was cook in
boarding house and worked hard all
day, but every evening he came to the
mission to learn English. Gertrude
was just wee bit afraid at first, but
he smiled in such friendly way that
she soon forgot her fears.
He placed a pair of steel-bowed spec
tacles on the end of his nose and be-

brought with him. pronouncing each
word as Aunt Rachel pointed 1t.

Gertrude wondered whatever that
might be. When he read, "The lab
bit eats glass" she said to herself, 1T

sure there isn't any in Philadelphia
that can eat glass"
AT 8 o'clock gong sounded and
the books were laid aside. Bibles
were passed and few verses were
read, after which they sang. first in
English, and then in Chinese. On
the wall hung a chart on which the
queer characters were printed, and
one Chinaman pointed to them as

Frog Long Imprisoned in Tree.

While an old horse chestnut stump
was being cut down at Lathbury, a
live frog was discovered between the
bark and the timber, about fifteen
inches from the ground. The bark
was thick and had grown completely
around it, and writes correspondent,
there was not the slightest hole
through which the frog could have
crept in recent years.
The tree has shown no signs of life
for at least five years past, and on
the lowest computation the bark
must have had two years growth. The
frog must therefore have been cut off
in it's prison from light and food for
at least seven years. 1t was yellow
and small, but in excellent health, and
whee placed on the grass hoped Off

Two important events in the state
during July will be the Neshoba Fair,
held eight miles west of Philadelphia
and the Patrons Union held two
miles north of lake. Both have the
same dates, July 23rd to Goth. The
dates were Hanged simultaneously,
both having dates including August
LIST, and again they are the same.
However, it is to be hoped that the
attendance at both places will be sat
isfactory. The Neshoba Fair will be
larger and more comprehensive than
ever before, and although the season
for making a display of crops is
rather early, great deal of interest
has been shown and the display this
year will be good. The management
hopes to make highly creditable ex-
kibit of live stock and are in a posi-
ton to do so. The patrons Union
has an especially interesting program,
consisting of speaking by all candi-
dates for state Offices, competitive
oratorical contests, farmers institute,
races, baseball, etc. 1t is also ex-
pected that a creditable exhibit of
stock and agricultural products will
be made. Both institutions are wor-
thy of the patronage of all people
interested in the development of Mis-
sissippi, and it is to be hoped that
all in the respective districts will turn
out and visit them.

Friars Point is not content with
ordinary improvements and the gen.

Announcement has been recently
made that 100000 stave plant is
to be located in that thriving town.
The capital for its construction and
operation comes from outside sources.
Several hundred hands will be en-
ployed and the pay roll of Friars
Point greatly enlarged. This is good
news for the citizens of that town and
it only could be better if the slaves
were to be worked into barrels right
there before shipping them out. This

The Delta Democrat, published at
Tunica, after commenting on the fact
of Mr.. Mathis success in trucking at
Crystal Springs, says:
"From the above it is readily seen
that the old poor hills of our state
have reserve force, for yielding 10
man and labor a handsome return
for energy and effort, far in excess
and bounty of our boasted cotton
plantations. IT'S true that fortune
not every year favors this class of
husbandry, yet, with the above results,
a yield of over $500 per acre, or al
average of $50 per acre for ten years,
they can afford to miss a few crops.
We are very much of the opinion that
by establishing a market for this class
of farming in Tunica county the prop
erty owners would reap a much great
err profit from their lands than de-
pending entirely upon cotton which,
like any other crop, often meets with
unfavorable conditions, both as to
growth and market. We have watch
ed with much interest the past spring
a small truck patch consisting of four
or five acres between Evansville and
Clayton, conducted by colored man.,
with the result that since vegetables
first began to come in, he has more
than made expenses to work his whole
crop. From a small patch of 81 rows
of onions some so yards long, he has
already sold $500 worth and says
that he will get some thirty bushels of
dry onions for shipping purposes.
From another small patch he has sold
more than $500 Of mustard and tur-
nip greens. From about an acre of
irish potatoes after selling locally
some 25 or 80 bushels at $3.50 per
bushel, dug and shipped rs bushels
the past week to Memphis that net
ted him $1.25 per bushel. These are
only part of the truck he has sold,
a considerable quantity of beets, rad
dishes, lettuce, peas and other vege-
tables having been disposed of at fair
prices. He has already realized more
from these few acres of truck than
he expects to get from his fifteen
acres of cotton
Reproduction of this article is made
to show that the delta section of Mis-
sissippi does grow vegetables splendid
ly and to supplement the experiences
from Clarksdale, the Experiment sta
ton at Stoneville as well as other
places. Diversifcation is the watch
word and will in the future make Mis-
sissippi the richest and most prosper
Gus state South of the Ohio river.
The good work being done will be &C
CELEBRATED in the future and the one
crop Of cotton in tie delta will soon
be thing of the past. Hay, grain,
hogs, cattle, as well as the small crops
will tend to diversity the products
of the delta until it will be alongside
Copiah and other counties that have
been diversifying for years.
