Force of Habit.

A Boston psychologist was recent
ly reminded of the story Of the
story of the Russian jailer who,
changing his occupation, found the
chief interest of mis- leisure moments
in catching birds, putting them IN
cages and selling them to the high
est bidder.
The scientist having to attend a
series Of lectures in a large hall
struck up acquaintance with JAM
tor of the building and soon noted in
him a suggestive bent Of mind. The
man seemed fond of counting the
people. and would occasionally re-
port the exact number present. "We
have 115 here tonight" he would
say. or "Just POI all told:' or,
when the hall was crowded. 81, make
it 37O." There was q problem in all
this. but it took some time for the
psychologist to solve it.
A bit Of friendly. familiar talk.
continually renewed, did the busl-
ness. for it brought out the fact that
the janitor had spent many Of the
previous years Of his life as warden
in an eastern prison. With rifle on
shoulder, from sore enclosing wall,
the man had counted MS ccHvlc;s IN
til the habit became lrerainol. In the
recesses of lis brain the lecture hall
took the shape Of Jail yard and the
audience were has prisoners. He
counted because he wished to know
if all we're there.-Boston Herald.

A gentleman owning a sugar estate

the first time, says Chambers Jour
nal. The day after his arrival ne
stood watching the punts bringing
the cane home. A young negro BOY
who was driving the mules wishing
to increase the speed of these, struck
one Of them with mis- whip. The mule
promptly responded by Launching out
with its heels and dealth the boy a
kick on te head, which stretched nm
on te ground, were he lay rubbing MS
woolly pate on the spot where the
kick had been received.
"Is he hurt? Is he hurt?' cried

BIG SUNDAY SCHOOL PICNIC.
The Methodist Sunday School Meets With
Mishaps but Still Has Fine Picnic.
Page 9

The big Sunday school of the
Methodist church had a picnic in a
handsome grove not far from the site
of the Cornwell mill. 1t was the
same place as visited last year. To
save expense it was arranged that the
pupils and grown people should lie
given transportation on hay racks.
The children rallied enmasse and four
huge hay racks. one pulled by four
horses, were laden until they would
not seem to have held another young
ster. The last load met with mis-.
hap when near the McHenry stock
farm. the tire coming off a hind
wheel. So all the people, little and
big, dismounted from the wagon and
grabbing the lunch baskets walked
the rest of the way. When these
arrived the boys had gone off in
field under the leadership of Prof.
Hoffman for ball game. There were
plenty of swings and 'teters' and de-
lightful shade When the game was
over and the small boys were back the
games began. Prof. Hoffman was
starter. and Messrs Conyne and Mey-
ers and Mrs. DR.. Boyle judges. Mrs.
Van Ness pinned the ribbons on the
winners of the races. There was
great fun. Later in the day came
the contest between base ball teams
made up Of young ladies'. Even the
umpiring of Prof. Van Ness and the,
prompting of Prof. Hoffman did rot
keep about every rule Of the game
from being broken. The men folks
laughed their sides sick to see the
throwing of the ball, the jumps to
catch it. the base running. the cap
tain marching across the field to Sec
ond base to tell a girl to run. or
sending small boy out with direc-
tions to the ielders. 1t was time to
go home before the game was half
over SO we will say nothing about the
score. On the way home two of the
hay rack wagons broke down, out by
the Pumpkin Vine track and so there
was more walking. But all arrived
home safe and that was a big blessing
for the ending of picnic.

SUICIDE NEAR DUNLAP.
Mrs. B. F. Roberts Residing Near Dunlap
Drowned Herself in Lake.

The people of Dunlap and vicinity
were greatly shocked on Monday
morning by the news that Mrs. R. r.
Roberts. living two miles south of
the town had been found dead In a
lake situated near her home. She
was the wife of one of the best
known men of Harrison county, her
husband at one time being member
of the legislature. She had been
nervously troubled for some time but
no one supposed that she would take
her life. She arose early Monday
morning and went out of the house.
When she did not return, search was
made and her shoes were found on the
bank of an artificial lake near the
home. Then suicide was suspected
and the lake dragged. She was found
in sixteen feet of water.

70 SUCCEED PROEESSOR
PPITCHETT.

r The suggestion made by Prot
II. Carr Pritchett on his death bed
that Prof. Harry F. Estill be ap-
pointed in his place as president OF
the Sam Houston Normal Institute
Will doubtless be seconded by every
student that has studied at the said
institute. Prof. Estill is not only
generally beloved and respected by
all who have had the privilege OF
studying under him, but is also
prominent as a man of the highest
scholarly atfainments. His long
years of experience close to Prof.
Pritchett have fitted him especially
for taking up and carrying on the
great work that was so wisely and
efficiently directed by Prof. Prit-
chett. The choice of the powers
that govern this appointment could
not fall upon any that would be
better qualified, and probably upon
very few indeed half so well quail
lied, afor the position as Prof.
