that Rhoda would never marry with
out his permission, and Dick had Just
come from the library, still smarting
under the injustice Of his dismissal.
Rand did not finger long with Rhoda.
He was afraid that he might be led
into some injudicious speech, and pres
emily he left the house and made his
way downtown. He dropped into the
Frtvolity, the vaudeville theater. Ben
Graham, the manager, was an old
chum, and Dick frequently dropped
in to carry him of to supper after the
performance.
Tonight he found Graham busy at q
typewriter. "Just a minute." called
the manager as he looked up from
his work. I'm writing the home of.
fee. Go inside and look at the pic
lures"
"Tm tired of %pictures," declared
Dick. but he stepped through the door
leading to the auditorium and leaned
against the rail ut the rear Of the seats
watching the motion pictures.
he became SO engrossed that he did
not realize Graham's approach until
the lights went up and the audience
began to stream up the aisles. Ora
ham waited for the house to be closed
and then led the way across the street
to their favorite haunt.
Dicks gloominess had disappeared,
and for an hour or more he sat at the
table laughing and Joking in a manner
far from suggestive of a lover who
has just been told that he must not
wed the girl Of his heart.
Horace Hartsell was far more wor-
ried than was Rand. When business
took him to New York he SEM Rhoda
to VISIT relatives until his return and
then hurried home because a friend
wrote him that Dick had left town.
But Rhoda was safe at her aunt's.
and Dick did not return for ten days.
When he did come, he was more jaunty
than ever, and there was something
positively gleeful in his manner when
he dropped into Horace H~artsell's law
Office the day following his arrival.
He found the lawyer Just about to
leave for home. and together they de.

Brain Growth.

The brain usually stops growing ut
1t is more likely to decrease. 1t has
been related by Canon MacColl that
Mr.. Gladstone's head was constantly
~outgrowing his hats. AS late as the
Midlothian campaign, when he was
nearly seventy. he was obliged to have
his head remeasured for this reason.
Canon MacColl's conclusion that this
continual growth Of brain contributed
to Mr.. Gladstone's perennial youthful
ness appears not unwarranted.-Lon-

BOUQUET FOR MTTREDGE
Alexandria Lady Presented Bouquet
to Senator for His Stand in
the smoot Case

Senator Kittredee made his third
speech OF the campaign at Alexanria
Wednesday, having spoken at Marion
Junction at noon OF the same day,
and at the former place he was
given nearly as great an ovation as
when he spoke in Mitchell a week
ago. Despite the very cold weather
and the roads being filled with the
heavy snow storm, the opera house
was filled beyond its capacity. The
senator spoke for two hours and at
its conclusion many went forward
and pledged their earnest support to
the senator who had been against
him before. a pleasing incident
occurred during the evening when
the S nntor was speaking. When he
had finished his presentation of his
vote against seating Reed Smoot in
the senate, which he did In a vigor-
u manner, a lady in the audience
went forward and presented the
senator with a bouquet OF roses in
behalf Of the ladies of Alexandria,
which she said was a slight recog.
Bilion for his stand Ia the senate
taken for the purity of the
American bone, and that the ladies
Of Alexandria appreciated to the full
what he had done. The senator was
abasbed on being taken unawares
frou that source, but he made a
very pallent response to the donor.
and de Jared that he had done but
what lie considered his duty as a
senator and for what he believed to
be the right standard of morality as
it applied to the homes of this
country.

Making a Newspaper.

Editor Albert w Noble, of the
Laurel Chronicle, which is easily the
best weekly newspaper in the state,
losses us a pretty compliment in the
following paragraph:
"The Hattiesburg News is no doubt
the most attractive paper in the state.
Considering what Editor Harris is
giving his patrons in exchange for
their money. the conclusion is easy
that he will never ride in a red auto
mobile on his profits"
There is a lot of consolation in the
production of a good newspaper, and
there is even more in the conscious
ness of knowing that ones efforts
are appreciated by those most quail
fled to pass judgment.
But Editor Noble should not be so
uncharitable as to mix his roses with
thorns-to predicate disaster on
the basis of merit, and to hamper our
dreams of success by visions of pow
erty.
The Hattiesburg News is a good
newspaper. Thus we have con
fessed to the soft impeachment. 1t is
not only good newspaper, but it is
the best newspaper we know how to

with some others who were trying to
do little charity work.
1 have a great deal of respect for
the Kings Daughters and their work,
but they can not do it all, so why
should they interfere when some one
else is trying to help. In the case in
question, do they think that they
have given all that is needed? Do not
these poor people have to have food
from day to day? There is only seven
in the family, not one of them able to
work at present and not a single one
of them could earn enough to pay
house rent if they were able to work.
The writer is somewhat familiar
with the needs of this family and feels
sure that some one was prompted by
the right spirit when they undertook
to assist them and that it was not
done for the purpose of deceiving any
one
Another thing, 1 understand that
these were young people that were
trying to help these poor people and
raised the most of the funds expended
from those of their age and then is it
right or encouraging to them to be
assailed? ONE WHO KNOWS.

make with the means at our COM
mand.
But this isn't answering Editor No
ble's conclusion-that we'll not be able
to ride in a red automobile on our
profits. The fact is that the business
of the News is growing much more
rapidly than the expense of publica-
ton, and we are candid enough to ad-
NIT that this expense of publication"
is not nearly so large as that of some
other newspapers in cities of Hatties-
burg's class.
Few Mississippi publishers can af-
ford the luxury of red automobile"
and fewer still would care to do so,
but the patrons of this newspaper
would not begrudge us the luxury if
we were disposed to spend the profits
of the business that way.
Making a good newspaper is largely
a habit, perhaps but reading a good
newspaper is the same sort of a dis
ease-and the microbe is getting in its
work in the Hattiesburg district.
