LOST TEMPER WAS COSTLY
Poet Banker Threw Away and Bought
Back His Own Property.

Edmund Clarence Stedman, the poet
banker. had a high temper and was
exceedingly sensitive. One day, exas-
perated by the Grass stupidity Of a
servant. ne threw a book at his head.
The boy ducked and the book sailed
out Of the window. After it hurried
the mental but he was too late; a
passerby had picked 1t up and walked
of with It. Stedman began to wonder
what book he had thrown away. and
to his horror discovered that it was
a quaint and rare little volume for
which he had paid $50 His chagrin
was intense, as the work was almost
unique and the prospects of replacing
il were remote.
Some time afterward, when brows-
ing in a secondhand book shop, our
splenetic poet banker perceived to his
great delight a copy of the very book
he had lost He asked the price. It's
very rare" replied the dealer, but as
you are an old customer I'll let you
have It for $40; nobody else could
have it for less than $50" Stedman
gladly paid the $40, got home with his
treasure as soon as possible, and sat
down to gloat over it, A card dropped
out of the leaves. 1t was his own.
Further examination showed that he
had bought back his property 1t
cured him of casting books at serv-
ants heads.-New York Press.

With such a healthy specimen at this time of the year, several weeks earlier than boil weevil specimens are usually sent in, the pest is ex- pected to play havoc with the cotton crop which has not been destroyed by the floods.

GRAND NEE TING

The m6eticg of the w. C. T. U. and the Missionary societies of the various churches held with Mrs. John M. Pittman yesterday afternoon, was in every way a ssccess. More than hundred women were in attendance.
 Each one assigned a place on the program came up to the full est expectations of the assem- blaze. Indeed they were gems in thought, earnestness and eX- pression. Too much cannot be said in praise of each. Particu- larly was the entire membership pleased with the most admirable address of Bro. Scott. His sub- ject was a broad one, "The w. c. T. U. as a World Force" and it was treated as broadly as a broad-visioned man could not help but treat it. We would be glad to have it in printed form to send broadcast over the state. We feel that it would have a very potent effect in disabusing the minds of some fossilized folks of the prejudice they hold against our work, and who, by this prejudice flinders God in many a reform.
 Six new members were added to our list, thus swelling our number to 121. We want to make this joint meeting an annual fea- ture of our work, thus cement ing closer and closer the tie that binds all Gods workers togeth- CT.
