Pretty bureau covers may be made
of white pique cut in scallops along
the edges and buttonholed with mer-

made by placing thimble along the

outline of the thimble. These covers
may be cut to fit any bureau and are
especially good for those having

Overcastinq of Sleeves.

To overcast the sleeve seams and
haste them at the same time was the
invention of one woman who was
pressed for time. BY overcasting the
sleeves the basting was avoided and
there were no basting threads to pull
out. Sleeves put in in this manner are
easier to stitch on the machine.

TO LIMIT ACTIVITIES.
Candidates Should Abandon the
HOuse-t0-fiOuse Canvass.

Indorsing the movements inaugur-
ated in the Yazoo and some other
counties, to have the county candi-
dates abstain from peripatetic can
vass in advancing their candidacy,
the Olarksdale Banner has the follow
ing to say:
In several counties Of the state
candidates for local offices are enter
ing into agreement not to engage in
house-to- house oanvasses during the
approaching campaign but will limit
their activities to brief addresses at
picnics, mass meetings, etc.. to which
they may be invited.
''The chief reason for the adoption
Of this rule is the waste Of time and
expenditure OF money involved in
close personal canvasses, and . gen.
eral adoption Of the rule, while it
may detract somewhat from the usual
campaign excitement, will have the
salutary effect Of allowing the sue.
cessful candidate to 60 into Office nm
hampered by campaign debts. while
the defeated aspirants can resume
their usual avocations without mourn
ing over the time and money they ex-
pended. all to no purpose.
"The abandonment Of the house-to-
house electioneering will also give
the candidates for she more important
offices better chance at the voters,
and aspirants for state and district
offices would be deeply gratified If the
county candidates would adopt another
reform by entering into an agree
ment not to swap of the chances OF
state and district candidates In order
to further their own aspirations. =

that the Judge admitted that he had

guilty; that the court heard lot Of
rot from the attorneys in justification
of the crime; that they elevated the

he had therefore used q whip. No

were several eye witnesses. The
statements of the judges attorneys
were better for the purposes Of the
court, perhaps, than that Of the real
witnesses, but even their statements
showed clearly that the judge was
guilty as charged. The court then
said; Judge, know you are guilty

but I will set your plea of guilty aside,
and will also set the law aside for
your benefit. think the Legislature
made mistake in making this law

The convict stopped and gazed

the courts had continued the cases Of
prominent citizens or quashed the in.

had numerically convicted aud abused

and sent them in chains to the pen

where he was. He knew the boy Of
the judge was living in luxury, while
his daddy, wearing gold trimmed glasses,
and strutting along the streets like q
New York millionaire dude, was study
ing up new lecture on ''hell" to
deliver to the sun cursed people.
The eyes of the convict glared; q
palor came over his troubled face; his
lips qnivered his fists clenohed; q
determination as strong as death shook
his soul; he sprang to his feet and
with an oath too horrible to print, he
swore before his God that henceforth
and forever he would be an anarchist,
and that when liberated from prison,
he would execute the mandate Of the
creed to kill any king, ruler, poten-
tate or judge under the star spangled
canopy of heaven.

NEW YORK LETTER.

New York, Feb. 20.-Fhe governors
q the stock exchange decided to close
ooth Friday and Saturday In memory OF
Washingtons birthday. As e conse-
Quence traders refrafned from commit
ting themselves very extensively to
either side Of the market. For the
first three hours dulness pervaded the
exchange to the exclusion Of any other
feature. Barring the professional eIe-
ment which was more or less bearish
on the market, traders who usually
operate through brokerage houses neg
iected the market entirely.
Prices throughout the list were in
ciined TO weakness with the HilI prop
critics the weakest features Of a rather
embarrassing market.
Great Northern lost two points, open
ing at 167 4 and selling down to 165
Northern Pacific from 153 to 1915;
Great Northern Ore shares from rs to
~. One cause Of the weakness in these
shares was the pessimistio views ex-
pressed by President Hill In several
interviews published in the morning
papers He expressed himself as being
of the opinion that q reaction from the
continued prosperity which the country
has been enjoying and advised re-
trenchments in all lines Of business.
His views on financial affairs carries
great weight, especially in the North
west. 1t is believed the selling in those
properties was mostIey for people close
to the management.
Reading was another of the weak
features Of todays trading. It lost
over two points on the day, opening at
122 and declining under 100. The re-
cent announcement OF short time notes
to borrow money to better the equip
ment of the company has had a de-
pressing effect upon the companies Sc
curities. The trade is of the opinion
that the time is not propitious.
The market closed weak and irregu-
lar.
