This sounds like story of Aladdin
and His Wonderful Lamp--iust think
of it-where there are now six-story
buildings there used to be pine thick
cts and scrub oaks and many deer
was killed among them.
Where the Hotel Hattiesburg rears
its head skyward, magnificent hos
telry, there used to be a fishing pond
and there are plenty of people right
now in Hattiesburg who have caught
and eaten fish from that pond.
But all that is yer now and there is
a city where there was once forest
and the trolley cars will soon be whiz-
zing along where once the deer and
the fox sped through the shadows Of
the gloomy woods.
Just think of it'd million year for
six years. If the increase continues in
the same ratio and there is every rea-
son to believe that it will there will
be a sure enough metropolis here by
1913.

SENATORIAL CANDIDATES
BOTH CLAIM VICTORY

Some spice has been injected into
the campaign by the publication OF a
story here to the effect that William
Randolph Hearst was in New Orleans
on Sunday and that he was probably
there to take part in the fight against
Mr.. Williams whom he heartily hates.
The information that he was in New
Orleans is positive but it is said he
was there in connection with a new
daily newspaper soon to be launched
in that city.

Ognize the handwriting as hers. It's

Of reply. Now, when I wrote last

tons about herself, her own health,
her summer wardrobe and so forth.
Her answer was eight pages-all
about names for the baby! She dis

"Tell US something about Isabel,"
was the frequent refrain of friends
and relatives.

The morning, brilliantly clear, was
frosty and cold. Big Jerry Callahan,
blowing the tips Of his fingers, red
from holding the reins of the patient
horse that pulled the half empty milk
wagon, and contemplating the thought
of arguments with angry cooks over
the short allowance of milk that the
weather imposed, felt his spirits sink
ing even lower than the mercury. And
adding to his depression was the recol-
lection Of Kathleen-black eyed, pretty
Kathleen-who had chosen to attend
the annual ball of the Shamrock socie-
ty with fat Tim Donnelly. Brass but
tons have always attracted the femi-
nine eye, and Tim as he strutted along
in his snug fitting blue uniform, twist
ing his billy, was a fine figure Of q
man. Callahan admitted that, albeit
grudgingly. Yet, despite his good looks
there was a something about the po-
liceman which Jerry vaguely distrust-
ed. And Norah had gone to the ball
with him.

which an irate maid had accused him
Of filling her bottles from the loose
milk can, a subdued whimper caught
his attention. On the curb, her white
fur edged coat sadly dirty, her chubby
face stained with tears, stood a baby,
"a tiny girl baby of about three years,
lost clearly and sobbing softly to her
self.
Jerry scratched a puzzled ear. He
could hardly leave her there alone. She
was too small and helpless for that
Besides, the mite was shiyering with
fright and cold. Yet his duty was to
deliver his milk. And no amount Of
careful inquiry could elicit more than
the fact that her name was Muriel and
that she lived on Fifth avenue
After a moments consideration he
swung her to the seat, wrapping her
well in an old blanket The tot, reas-
sured and happy, cuddled more closely
under the friendly shelter and looked
up with trustful smile.
"MuriePs hungry" she announced.
When second bottle of milk had
followed the first, affairs began to look
grave. Already short on bis orders,
the loss Of two more bottles might in
volve him in serious trouble. But to
fail those eonfiding blue eyes! Jerry
shook his head as he whipped up the
old white horse. The baby should not
suffer. And he found himself watch
ing the child with a perplexed frown.
There was something oddly familiar
about the little face, the ripping gold
en- curls
Sure it's only that all babies do
look alike, then" was his masculine
conclusion. They've all yellow hair
and blue eyes"
Callahan's expectations were fulfill

cry indeed when their full quota of
milk was not forthcoming, and dire
were the threats of complaint at head
quarters.

smile at the placid young person be-
side him. But it can't be helped now"

There is no better rule for good health
than that the bowels should move every

of this. Foolish people neglect this and
when chronic constipation effects them
they take pills every few days TO force the
bowels to perform their natural function.
AS years 60 on they require more and
more pills. This should be stopped.

the stomach and cause the bowels TO act
naturally. While taking the medicine get
the habit of regularity, then gradually

who have tried it:
