Real Reason Why LaFollette Failed

Carter and Scott acted as hosts to
Senator Stone and done their duty
nobly Mr.. Stone had been delegated
TO aid Senator La Toilette in his fill
buster against the currency bill, but
when the time came for him to act he
was not present. Neither was the
presence of Carter or Scott noticed
on the floor of the senate. Several
dispensers of glad water" say they
know where the trio spent the greater
part of the day.
Senator Gore lost the filibustcr be
cause of his blindness. Some time be.
fore he concluded Mr. Stone slipped
into a chair beside him and said he
was ready to take hold at any time.
Mr.. Gore said: Cali right" and be-
lieved Mr. Stone was present when
he sat down. Instead, Mr.. Stone was
taking a snooze in the Democratic
cl0akroom.
jeff Davis was also absent from the
senate He had left Little Rock de
termined to save the country, but got
lost somewhere on the route.

Concerning

It Is Wise; to Remember
That 1t Takes Two 10 Make
QuarrelS The Simply
Dressed Debutante-A True
and Honest Friend.

1T takes two to make a quarrel,
remarked Mrs. Wiseleigh as she wiped
away Mrs. Flutterby's tears.
That young matron had just been
through another quarrel with her bet
ter half He had gone out without
saying goodby, and the front door had
slammed viciously behind him.
"H-m-mw muttered the excellent
Mrs. wiseleigh after she heard the de
tails. when you saw he was in a
bad humor why didn't you leave him
aloneT
T-I-felt SO badly l just had to
speak to him." sobbed foolish Mrs.
Flutterby.
There you arev exclaimed the older
woman. "Lack of self control! l tell
you what" she went on, "if kept
girls school / would spend less time
In teaching conchology and botany and
more In grounding my pupils in good,
old fashioned self control. 1t would
certainly do them more good in after
life. Just look at the girls nowadays,
my dear, and notice how many OF
them lack 1t altogether. They are
fdgety, hysterical, and, instead of al
lowing the masculine sex to run after
them, as the Creator wisely intended,
they are simply crazy for attention and
make themselves cheap because they
haven't enough self control to wait
for II.
Divorces were never so frequent in
the old days, 1 can tell you. Women
had self control then. They learned
when 1t was wise to keep silence. There
were no quarrels as there are now.
Women had more dignity, and their
self control gave them a queenly air
which commanded more respect and
attention than all the Trades of their
descendants ever can. If you just lis
ten to an old woman, my dear, you will
learn to practice self control. You will
soon be too we'll grounded in it to an
swer back, and Quarrels will die out
in your household because, as observ-
ed before it takes two people to make
them"

And of course after that the girl ha'l
lovely time. = =
Now, the truth is that the debutante
In question was really no prettier than
the others and not nearly as graceful,
but she possessed u imother who was
clever.
Her mother had dressed her in the
simplest manner possible, as a young
girl should dress, while all the others
wore Partisan creations suitable for
young matrons. y.
This overdressing. of girls just max
ing their bow to society is very marked
this winter, and for that reason one
simple little maiden stood out very
conspicuOusly.
Her dress was ofsfine material, most
beautifully fitted, but it fell in abso
lutely unornamented lines, showing
the supple curves of her girlish figure
The effect was striking.
Wise mothers, take notice.

To Danish the Goat.

Maltas celebrated goats are likely
soon to be only memory on the his
toric island, for it has been found
that banishing goats milk means an
end to the ravages of Malta fever. The
commission appointed in 1907 to trace
the origin of the fever in the garrisons
and crews of warships made the dis
covery that the germ of the fever was
present in the milk of the goat. Wher
ever the use of this milk has been pro
hibited the fever has disappeared.

Yazoo City furnished an incident
some days since that should prove of
interest The city council offered for
sale bonds in the amount of $4,000 for
the purpose of constructing a, school
building for the negroes. When the
bids for these bonds were opened itwas
found that A: J. Cakes, negro citizen
of Yazoo county, had the best bid.
They were promptly awarded him.
Cakes is said to be Woodworking me-
gro who eschews politics, attends to his
own business and has succeeded in
gathering together considerable sup
ply of this worlds goods. While this
was taking place in Mississippi there
was another bunch of negroes from the
State in Chicago who were attempting
to gain recognition by the Republican
convention: Mississippi needs more
such negroes like Cakes and fewer of
the other kind. The good negro will
always have place here.
The. agitation in behalf of agricul-
tural high schools goes right along,
gathering interest as the summer grows
older. The Alcorn county Union re-
Gently gave the movement endorsement
in regular meeting and sent up a reso-
luton to the county school board urging
the location of one and providing for its
maintenance. With the endorsement
of this splendid organization there can
be little doubt of Alcorn falling into
line as one of the first counties in the
State to authorize the building of D
school.
The numerous drainage districts be-
ing formed throughout Mississippi will
bring into cultivation many thousands
of acres of rich land that is notavail
lie at present for agricultural. pur-
poses. 1t was a wise provision Of the
legislative bodies to allow this to be
Gone. The plan is one purely local in
its application, the land to be benefited
being taxed to pay the expense in
cured. Under previous law several
of these districts were formed and
proved signally successful, thereby en-
couraging the lawmakers to pass an act
general in its application.
President Kolb of the Monroe county
Union is still agitating the question of
road improvement and is backing the
proposition to- issue bonds. He is a
great road enthusiast and will no doubt
have great deal of force in bringing
about progressive movements in this
section.

Graduating Girls.

Some CT US, at any rate. on both
sides Of. the Atlantic, have begun to
realize that serious study is less
likely to iniure women than; PIN
ched waists, late hours, hot rooms
and unwholesome food, and, we
think it is better. for our girls
to be graduated at schools fo.r:
science rather than at schools for
scandal. We think it will better
prepare them for the grave re-
sponsibilities of matrimony and
motherhood than rapid Tlife in
which personal adornment is their
chief aim, and how to kill time
and secure a rich husband their
principal anxiety. The, mental
companionship which is improving
is communion between active
minds, and the women of mans
house hold must. either q. stiw-
illus to his highest aspirations or
a drag upon them. For the in
terests, therefore, of men and OF
human improvement in its widest
sense, there should be a purpose
in the education Of women quite
apart from questions of what they
are to learn, and preparation for
SO wide a sphere of domestic or
social duty admits of no such low
standard as that of custom or fash
ion. We only ask. that they be
trained to make the best possible
use of it. This will make mar
rage more noble and more COM
plete, enrich and. strengthen the
mothers influence and give to life
a dignity and strength.
A bad temper is one of the
worst things. with which man
or a woman can be afflicted. It is
a curse to the possessor, and those
who are obliged to live in the
same house with the possessor, of
the complaining temper as martyrs.
1t is often said that we should
not let the bad temper. of others
influence US, but it would be .as
unreasonable to spread a blister of
Spanish flies on the skin and not
expect it to draw as to think Of a
family not suffering on account
of the ad temper of one of its.mem-
bers. 1t is like the sting Of a scorz,
'pion, or of several scorpions,
perpetual source of irritation, de-
stroying your peace and rendering
life burden. To hear one ever
lasting complaint and .growl pro
ceeding from what is aptly called a
chronic kicker, to have every
agreeable thought chased away by
this evil spirit of disputatiousnesss
is more than flesh and blood can
stand. This would be a better
world if the people who lose thefr
tempers would never find them
again.

the funeral grafton for Caesar, and
he stirred up the Roman populace
until it wrecked the baseball park

originator of the affinity idea. His
affinity was Cleopatra, and every
time he returned from Egypt, his
wife and his mother-in-law met
him at the dock with set of golf

marriage was celebrated secretly in A

When in New York, Nine. Gould in

this is why the members OF her fani-

that for certain legal reasons which

this marriage can be broken This pos

which have been so crushed by the
marriage, but we hope that they win

There is an old saying that the way

what it is, Il little harder than the 9TH

the morning than he does to start il,
and to leave off little later at night.
Seven years ago William C. Webb
started to play the game OF making
military men out of High school boys.
Ten years ago Webb was the junior
member of the shoulder strapped staff
of the Utah batteries when they march
ed away to the Spanish war. a long
list of officers had to be promoted be-
fore a chance came to him, but the
habit of drilling men worked into his
bones and his platoon was always
conspicuous for its excellent drill, and
his little river gunboat the Oeste, for
its ability to find its way to the center
of any action on land near the Pasig
or on the water of the great lake out
of which it rose.
Graduating from the service of the
batteries to the tasks of peace Capt.
Webb started his duties at the High
school, in 1901, when he called together
his first company.
