Far out on the blue eXpanse of water
two black specks turned smaller ana
smaller i'll the distance. Now ana then
the early morning sun caught the broad
blades of the oars with a CLINT like the
fash of diamond, but presently the
boats rounded the point Of Indian IS
land, and Nan turned to her aunt.
"Well," she announced briskly, I'VE
are all alone for the day. Just think
of that, auntie We can imagine that
we are original settlers and alone IN
the trackless waste"
Mrs. Edmond shivered at the sug-
gestion.
Don't, child.' she cried. rs it not
enough that we should be left alone?''
"It's the most delicious thing that
has happened this summer" declared
Nan. Just think of having the whole
of this beautiful lake all to ourselves!
I'm queen of Quagmond lake, and you
are the dowager queen, guess. Let's
clear away the remains of our royal
banquet"
Suiting the action to the word, Nan
briSkly attacked the breakfast things,
washing them in the tiny brook. that
went singing over the pebbles to the
waters of the lake. 1t did not take
long to dispose of the soiled things, and
presently the girl turned to her aunt,
her nut brown face glowing from the
exercise.
what do you want to do, dear?" she
demanded.
whatever you wish" Mrs. Edmond
smiled into the radiant face softly
framed in the masses of soft hair. Il
suppose that we had better wait until
Mr. Leland comes over"
"Wint Leland is not coming over,'
said Nan decidedly. Il want to so

She Knew Him.

Mrs. X. had engaged a robust, mid
die aged colored woman to do some
housekeeping. During the progress
of the work Mrs. K. said
"a colored man came along here one
day last week and wanted work, and l
let him wash some windows, but he
did not do the work at all well.'
what fo' lookin' man was he?''
asked the helper
"Well, he was big, strong fellow,
and he had but one eye. He said that
his name was White. He did very poor
work.

COlNlk1ISSIONERSMEET
TO TALK INSURANCE

This afternoon addresses were de-
livered by President Darwin p. Kings
ley, president of the New York Life
Insurance company, on "The future of
Life Insurance and Insurance Com
missioner B. F. Grouse, of Maryland,
who discussed Life Insurance Legis-
lation Adopted in Various States With
in the Past Two Years."
During the convention, which will
last three days, addresses will be made
by the insurance commissioners of
New York, Colorado, North Dakota,
Massachusetts, and other states. An
important report will be that of the
committee on standard forms of fire
insurance policies. The report of the
committee on laws and legislation will
be presented this afternoon, and will
likely lead to spirited discussion.

different tactisc were resorted to. The
newspaper printed an editorial warn
ing readers not to buy property in
mushroom residence sections laid out
at the base of Mount Hood.
1t was suggested that while street
cars had been started running to the
new "cities.' the tracks would be TAX
en- up as soon as all the lots were
sold, and the unfortunate purchasers
would have to walk. This worried the
real estate man naturally. His com
petitors took the matter up, quoted the
editorial in their advertisements and
emphasized the fact that their proper
ties were not at the base of Mount
Hood and had permanent street car
service.
In second editorial the daily re-
marked that the time was a bad one
for starting country club, and gave
reasons for this view. The skeptical
real estate man was. interested in a
new country club which was closely
related to his other real estate enter
prises. Wherever he went the two ed
itorials were showed under his nose
and in less than week he was salts
fled that nearly everybody in town
read the paper in which he refused to
advertise. The object lesson was not
lost on him.

LOST HIS FINGER
WHILE HUNTING GAME

Mr.. e. MCGOWAN, of Rawls Springs,
is suffering from painful accident
which happened to him Monday when
he shot himself SO seriously that he
has lost a'fnger in consequence.
1t seems that Mr.. MCGOWAN was out
hunting and in slipping through the
underground after game the gun was
accidentally discharged, wounding
him in the hand SO badly that one Of
the fingers had to be amputated.
He came into town and DR.. J. d.
Donald removed the finger and dressed
the wound, Mr.. MCGOWAN returning
to his home where he is resting easily.

MORE SIDEWALKS
Being REPAIRED

The unsightly sidewalks on East
Pine street between Mobile and Main
streets directly opposite the Hawkins
Hardware company, We're being cut
down to the proper grade yesterday
that cement sidewalks could be laid.
The people who have SO long used
the street instead of the walk at this
point will welcome this improvement
most heartily.
On Front street the old cement walk
in front of the Hawkins block, facing
Short street, is being torn up SO that
new walk can be laid that will ac-
cord with the grade of the other walks
on that street, much to the delight Of
pedestrians.

where all kinds of meats and provi-
sions will be handled and the lessor is
to furnish and keep UP all switches,
side tracks and shipping facilities
necessary for the business which is to-
be carried on in the buildings erected
by the lessee.
The lease is made to J. Ogden Ar
mour, and in It he is given the right
to transfer the lease to any company
with which he may be associated. 1t
is signed by Mr.. Armour for him-
self, and by b. D. Curran, president.
for the New Orleans & Northeastern
railroad.
AS the lease began on September i.
tt is supposed that work will begin on
the buildings at an early date and
when this structure has been finished
and the business is established. Hat
tiesburg will be one step further to-
wards being an actual metropolis.
1t is a notable thing that the Ar
mour people never erect anything but
the best buildings and It is natural
to suppose that the one to be erected
here will no doubt be in keeping with
this policy and of course be an i'm
provement in every way to the city.

st. Louis, May 27.-This city is at
present in the midst Of an excite
ment beyond anything that 1t has ex-
/ periencod in recent years.
Old and young, rich and poor, all
seem to have become beside them
selves over an Individual who was a
stranger to st. Louis until two weeks
ago.
The man who has created all this
turmoiy is l.. T. Cooper, president of
the Cooper Medicine Co., Of Dayton.
Ohio, who is at present introducing
his preparations in this city for the
first time.
Cooper is man about thirty years
of age who has acquired fortune
within TIE past two years by the sale
OF some preparations of which he Is
the owner.
Reports from eastern cities that
preceded the young man here were
of most startling nature. Many of
the leading dailies going so far as TO
state that he had nightly cured in
public places, deafness of years
standing with one of his prepara-
tions. The physicians of the east
contradicted this statement, claiming
the thing to he impossible, but the
facts seemed to bear out the state
mcnt that Cooper actually did so.
In consequence people flocked to
him by the thousands and his prep
arations sold like wildfire.
Many of the stories were regarded
as fictitious in st. Louis. and until
Cooper actually reached this city lit
tie attention was paid to them.
Hardly had the young man arrived,
however, had he began demonstra-
tions, as he calls them, In public,
and daily met people afflicted with
deafness, and with a single applica-
tion of one of his preparations ac-
tually made deaf people hear again.
In addition to this work Cooper
advanced the theory that stomach
trouble was the foundation of nine
out of 10 diseases, and claimed TO
have a preparation that would re-
store the stomach to working order,
and thus get rid of such troubles as
1 ii'NuhAtibslAi anu VI llt
kidneys and liver in about two weeks
time
This statement seems to have been
borne out by the remarkable results
obtained through the use of this
preparation, and now all st. Louis
is apparently mad over the young
man
His headquarters resemble a veri-
table stampede. Thousands of peo-
pie are visiting him each day, AMI
the druggists are selling his medi-
cines in enormous quantities.
What seems to make Cooper still
more popular is the fact that he
practices extensive charitable work,
and has already dispensed a small
fortune among the poor of this city.
How long the tremendous interest
in Cooper will last is hard to estimate.
At present there seems TO be 10 sign
cf let-up. Physicians claim IL to be
a fad and that it will die out as soon
ms Cooper leaves.
In justice to him, however, it must
be said that he already seems to have
accomplished great deal for the
sick of this city with his prepara-
tions.
