Yet He Didn't Need Them.

He had been calling on young
lady for many moons; but, being
backward, his suit progressed slowly.
Finally she decided it was up to her
to start something, so the next time
he called she pointed to the button

"I'll give you kiss for that rose" "
A large, open face blush meandered
over his countenance, but the ex-

his hat and started to leave the room.

It's a Fact.

Some people who have never worked
in a newspaper office minute in
their life think they know all about
advising an editor as to what should
or should not be published and can
give him all sorts of pointers in con-
Quoting his paper. What would
physician think if man who had
never made any study of medicine
were to come to him and tell him how
to treat a patient? What would
lawer think of some one who had
never read law a day in their life
should go to him with lot of advice
about what course to pursue in law
case? Well they would think about
the same thing that the newspaper
man does of those who are always
telling him how he ought to run his
business. Newton Progress.

LICENSE GIVEN MEDICCs
-Four From DeSoto Successful in State
Examination.

Four DeSoto county men were sue
cessfull in passing in passing the ex-
animation for state license to prac-
tice medicine. The examination was
held in Jackson last week and the
papers were graded and the names of
the successful applicants made public
Wednesday. These four new follow
ers of Aesculapius are: Drs. John
Joseph Huddleston, Eudora; William
Wright Mitchell, Olive Branch; Ely
son Gwynn Meriwether, fernando;
William Frank Rhodes, Horn Lake.
Some idea of the difficulty of these
examinations can be gotten from fig
ures. There were 237 applicants and
of this number only ~ were given
license. DR.. Huddleston has the dis
tinction of heading the list of all ap-
plicants.

Found Its Wnx Homa.

The story of pet seal, captured
when a pup by lighthouse-keeper on
the coast Of England, is given in 'Rem.
iniscences Of Sportsman" The young
seal was fed, and allowed to have the
range Of the Kitchen, and the members
of the household became greatly at
tached to 1t.
1t would make Its way daily down
to the water, and pass many hours
swimming about. 1t secured more or
less food in that way, but always re-
turned to its place In the kitchen at
night.
Blindness finally came to the seal
with old age, but 1t continued It's Jour-
neys to the sea, and returned home as
regularly as before.
As old age increased, 1t caused an
noyance by Its peculiar cry for food
and its lessened ability to get about At
last the family decided they must part
with 1t, and not Wishing to kill 1t, they
arranged with fisherman to carry il
well off-some twenty miIes-and drop
it into the sea. They expected that 1t
would come to natural death in that
element But on the second day 1t ap-
peared again at It's accustomed place.
Another effort was made to get rid
of 1t by arr hanging with sailing yes
sol IN fake n savaral hundrod rnffaa o,,k
to sea and then drop 1t In. This was
done, and some time passed away with
out any sign of the seal. But seven
days after Its departure the kitchen
maid, who slept near the door OF the
kitchen, fancied during the night she
had heard the plaintiye cry OF the seal !;
and the next morning Its emaciated
body was found on the threshold.

A GOOD LAWN.

The Best Way to Prepare the Ground
and Sow the Seed.
A good lawn may be made either by
laying sod or growing seed. If turf
Is used, the lawn is sometimes ready
for use In less time than when seed Is
used, but practically the difference is
very slight Fewer lawns are made
from turf every year. The turf or soil
Is nearly always obtained from near
by field. 1t abounds> in course grasses
and pernicious weeds. The former
may be got rid of after considerable
trouble, but the latter rarely ever. Sod
laid lawns are nearly always uneven,
seamy and varied in color and texture.
Their cost, too Is much In excess of
seeding the lawn down.
A lawn produced from a mixture of
good, new, recleaned seeds of the finer
grasses and cloyers is superior in quail
ity and texture to the best sod obtain
able. To obtain the best results from
sowing, the ground should be carefully
dug oyer-not too deep, six or eight
inches will be enough-and nicely lev
eled off then SOW on broadcast good
fertilizer, 600 pounds to the acre.. or
about ten pounds to every Is by 10
square feet. Rake this In and roll It
or fiatten 1t with the back of spade;
then SOW seventy pounds of some good
lawn seed to the acre, or one pound
to every 10 by Is feet. Sow half this
quantity walking one way and half
walking at right angles to 1t, so as to
get even distribution. Do not SOW In
windy weather, and be sure to rake
the seed in, and after sowing roll 1t
well or beat it fat with the spade.
Those seeds that are deeply buried
will not germinate, and those that are
exposed will be scorched by the sun,
blown or washed away or taken by
the birds. Whenever necessary to SOW
in summer 1t Is better to mix with rye
or oats to protect the tender shoots
from the hot sun.-Suburban Life.

Now a Big Hall for Boston.

Efforts to have the conventions of
the Democratic and Republican parties
take place in Boston have been handi-
capped by the difficulty of finding a
hall large enough to seat 15,OO0-odd
persons, says the Boston Herald. This
lack need no longer initiate against
Boston. BY the summer of 1908 there
will be an auditorium available which
will hold comfortably 1900 people.
The plans for the first worlds shoe
and leather fair, now being energetic
ally pushed, include the erection of an
enormous fair building on the Charles
River embankment, Cambridge. 1t is
claimed that by utilizing the floor
space Of the structure seating room
will be provided for $1,000.
The fair building will be preten-
tious structure with flye domes, one to
represent each Of the worlds conti-
nents. 1t will measure 500 by 200 feet
and will be two stories In height ex-
cept under the monitor roof and main
dome, a space fifty feet wide, 500 feet
long and eighty feet high. Under this
main dome will be circle theater,
seating 1900 people. 1t is estimated
that by removing partitions and utiliz-
Ing the space occupied by showcases
and other temporary obstructions, the
seating capacity can be increased al
most indefinitely.
