Now that the worst period of de-
preston which paralyzed the lumber
industry in this section has passed, 1t
becomes obvious to those who have
analysed its effects that 1t held many
blessings in disguise. Among them is
the practical demonstrations of the
agricultural possibilities of this sec
ton. Heretofore the pessimistic have
held that nothing save razor-back hogs
and discomfort would grow on the cut
over pine ridges of this region. Such
theory, while never tenable, has
been completely exploded. Hundreds
of laborers, thrown out of employment
by the closing down of the mills, have
cleaned up cut-over lands and taken
to diversified farming as means of
livelihood and, in the parlance of the
street, have made 1t stick" Many
of these farmers will likely never re-
turn to the mills, but having found a
pleasant and equally remunerative
field of labor, will continue to farm
and contribute to the country's wealth.
The cut-over pine lands of the south
when properly cleared and intelligent.
ly titled, are susceptible of high de-
gree of cultivation.
These lands Of the south Mississippi
country, being as they are in near
proximity to a number of large and
growing truck garden markets, should
in time become a veritable garden

WORKING C0NVICTS
IN PUBLIC HIGHWAYS

in these cases the supervisors have
preferred the working of the county
roads under regularly employed guards
to the purchasing of joint farms with
other counties.
Many of the old contracts formerly
let for the handling of the convicts
have expired, and under the new law
they cannot be renewed, but as fast
as they expire arrangements must be
made for the new system provided
for by the Hebron law.
In few instances these county
farms have been leased, the condition
of the county treasury being rather
short for the purchase, but most OF
them have made straight out pur-
chases of farms.

Daily News Special.
Jackson, Miss. July PA large
number of Mississippi counties through
recent actions of their boards Of SUI
pervisors, have decided to arrange to
work their county prisoners on the
public roads instead Of purchasing
farms on which to work them. Either
course is left open to them, under the
provisions of the Hebron law, and pro-
vision is also made for two or more
counties to cooperate and purchase a
farm jointly, but so far as is known
none of the counties have made the
latter arrangement, or tried to do so.
The working of the prisoners on the
public roads the year around ought to
insure better roads than now exist
in most of the counties, even though
the average force of convicts be small.
There are many counties with too
few prisoners to justify the purchase
of farm, numbering perhaps one.

A psxnhin Phennn,ennn

An extraordinary incident is connect
ed with Professor Won Herkomer's fa-
nous painting, 1.-THE Last Muster"
which was the picture of its year at
the academy.
One morning soon after the exhibit
ton was opened the artist was aston
ished to receive letter from lady,
perfect stranger. who said she was
not aware until she saw .'The Last
Muster at the academy on the previ-
GUS day that her mother, then dead.
had ever sat to the professor for her
portrait.
Now. the figure In the picture was
painted solely from imagination, and
the artist fastened to explain this fact
TO his correspondent. She thereupon
asked for an appointment and took an
oil painting of her mother, asserting
that it was faithful representation of
that lady.
The academician was astonished to
perceive that he had really portrayed
on his own canvas a facsimile Of the
figure in this other painting. although
it was that of a woman whom he had
never seen in his life.-London NJ. A. Z.

THE PILLoRY.
Titus Oates and Daniel Defoe Both
Suffered In Ii,

In the year 1887 the British parlia-
ment passed an act that put an end to
punishment by pillory. Previous to
the conquest this particular instrument
of correction was in use in England
and went by the name of the stretch
neck 1t consisted of wooden frame
erected on a stool In which were three
holes for the head and arms. For
days together offenders against the
common law were thus exposed to pub
lie view. From historic accounts 1t ap-
pears that this particular form Of pun
ishment was melted out to those con-
victed of frauds of every description
not only in England, but in nearly
every country In Europe. In the days
of the star chamber, when religious
feeling ran high, the pillory was the
ordinary punishment melted out to
those who offended against the church
In 1885 Titus Oates was sentenced to
be pilloried for five days in every yeaI
during the rest of his life. Another
famous sufferer was Daniel Defoe, the
author of "Robinson Crusoe," who
stood for three days in the pillory in
Cheapside. 1t happened on occasions
that the offender died while under
going his sentence. During the time OF
exposure the condemned man was moi
allowed to receive food of any sort Oh
description The last occasion or
which a pillory sentence was passed
was in 1814.-London Globe.

nietionarx Users Modest.

"Men are never so modest as when
they go to use dictionary" remarked
an attendant at the public library.
"As a rule. when you see man go to
a public dictionary or one in any place
where other people are around you'll
see him look about furtively as If in
fear somebody might see him. Men
who make no pretensions at having
any great amount of knowledge never
theless seem to be embarrassed to
have any one think that they do not
know the pronunciation or meaning of
some English word. The next time
you see a man looking up word In
the dictionary just ask him what it Is
he is looking up and see If he will tell
you. You'll find in at least nine cases
out Of ten that he won't tell you. Hes
afraid you'll know it and have the fun
of enllghtening him."-Cleyeland Plain

A Hnrse,s Toe Nails.

Few persons realize that a horses
hoof is really the same thing as the
toe nails of human beings or of ami
mails having toes. The horn of hoof
grows just as toe nail does. The
hoof grows more rapidly in unshod
horses than in those wearing shoes,
and it grows faster in horses which
are we'll groomed and well fed. But
on an average the horn grows about a
third of an inch a month. Hind hoofs
grow faster than fore hoofs. The toe
of the hoof being the longest part, it
takes longer for the horn to grow
down there than at the heel. For in
stance, the toe will grow entirely down
In from eleven to thirteen months,
while the heel will grow down in from
three to five months. As the new horn
grows out any cracks or defects in the
old gradually work down to where
they can be cut off. just as with human
finger nails you can watch the progress
of bruise from the roof to the tip

A Metaphor With a History.

To "know hawk from a hernshaw"
is a metaphor with curious history.
1t is a comparison drawn from fal-
conry. ''Hernshaw' is a corruption
of ''heronshaw," or young heron, bird
which was a common prey of the fall
cons. To know hawk from hern-
shaw is therefore to be able to dis
tinguish the falcon from its prey. A
further colloquial corruption crept into
the phrase ito know hawk from a
handsaw." form used by Hamlet in
one place Possibly the distinction be-
tween a hawk and hernshaw was
found not to be strong enough for the
purposes of the proverb.- Manchester

A BROKEN PANE OF GLASS
One That Once Cost Citizen George
Francis Train $4,000.


A broken window pane once cost
George Francis Train more than sou,
600. 1t was this way: Citizen Train,
with the brains of twenty men in his
head, all pulling different ways" went
to Omaha In the spring of 1854. AT
that time he was the most talked OF
man in America. He had not thing
but money. He bought 5000 city lots
and altogether spent several hundred
thousand dollars. He boarded at the
Herndon House, the best hotel In sight.
The quixotic Train was regular In only
one thing-his habits. He always &C.
cupied the same seat at the table. One
morning a pane of glass was broken
out of a window directly behind his
chair. He protested and was advised
to change his seat He would not. In
stead he paid a servant 10 cents min
ute to stand between him and the
draft. After breakfast he expostulated
with the landlord, but received no sat
isfaetion.
Never mind" said Train. TN sixty
days | will build hotel that win ruin
your business"
| And he did The contract was let
that day. Scores of men were put to
work. The site selected was Ninth and
Harvey streets, near the Missouri riv-
er. Citizen Train went to New York
and engaged Colonel Cozzens, a noted
caterer of that city, as manager for his
hotel.
The building alone cost $4,000. The
furnishings cost $4,000 more. In the
basement was a gas plant, the only
one west of st. Louis. The work was
done on time, and, true to his word.
sixty days after he threatened the man.
ager Of the Herndon House George
Francis Train, citizen of the earth.
opened his hotel. which he called the
Cozzens House. The grand opening
ball was attended by the governor of
Nebraska and his staff. the mayor of
Omaha and many notables from other
states. The house was blaze of glory
and a scene of almost oriental inagnif
cence Just when the big reception
was well on there was sudden fash.
a strange noise, and then-total dark
ness! The gas plant had collapsed.
The Cozzens House did hourishing
business for a year or two. and the
Herndon House was badly crippled.
Finally Train fell out with his man
ager and the place was closed.
After the business part Of Omaha
moved back from the river the Hern
don House declined and finally re-
lapsed into a state of innocuous desue
tude. A few years later it became the
property of the Union Pacific railroad.
