1t is in the home that woman
rises to her truest heights and
wields her widest influence. Every
home is a miniature world, and the
wife is a crowned queen. The wife
who makes society the field of her
accomplishment soon finds her hus-
band a devoted clubman. The wo-
man who fills her head with many
of the ideas and pleasures of much
that is called society, soon wants to
entertain her husband, any evening
she may not have some other en-
gagement, with cards. She plays
just as she did to win some prize at
progressive euchre or whist parties.
She cheats little, and they have
a little spat over it, and then an
other, and presently she fires some
thing at his head, but misses it and
hits the motto over the door, God
Bless Our Home. Their little boy
says: INA, you missed pas head,
but you gave the motto hail Col
umbia." Often the only question
to be decided in that home is,
"who shall have the boy?" and
the court is asked to decide it.
God pity the woman who has set
her heart on much that is in mod
ern society.

Minister to the sick.

1t is grand, good and beautiful
thing to minister to, the sick-to
the wants of those laid low by aff1ict-
ion, and doubtless there is not a
human being but will acknowledge
this fact, but it never so forcibly
striks us as when we, ourselves,
are lying Frustrated by disease.
How many times have we, when
suffering almost unbearable pain,
or tossing with burning fever,
resolved that if ever we did get
we'll again, we would do all we
could for the sick. 1t is a sad
pity that with returning health our
good resolutions oftentimes fee
away. 1t is not expected that busy
mothers be Florence Nightingales,
to go out and nurse wounded SOL
diers, and indeed this is not at all
necessary, for they can find sick ones
nearer. In almost every neighbor-
hood there is one, perhaps more,
whose we'll days are over. They are
usually spoken of as invalids, and so
accustomed are we to their being
sick that we may oftentimes seem
Indifferent to their suffering and
confinement. But to them it never
grows old, and much is the good,
right, here, that we can do. Many
and varied are ways we can help
them, these unfortunate ones.
for them in love, will be sure to
be appreciated and will be seed
sown in good ground. A bunch of
flowers, new book or magazine, a
dainty morsel from our table, all of
these are trifies but may brighten
up their dreary lives; and then we
should visit them or if they live
at a distance we should write them
a tender, sympathetic, though
cheerful letter.

TWENTY-EIGHTH DAY.

Neither house was in session in the
afternoon, the time being devoted as
usual to committee meetings, there hav-
ing been we'll attended sessions of the
two Judiciary committees, both these
committees being well loaded with bills
and resolutions.
Both houses unanimously accepted
the invitation from the city of Natchez,
extended by the representatives from
Adams county, to attend the Mardi
Gras festivities on March 2, which will
be a repetition of previous legislative
experience.
In the House Mr.. Quin introduced q
bill having for its object the enactment
of law regulating the holding of pri-
mary elections for the nomination of
candidates for the United States sena-
tor and for Judges of the Supreme
Court, chancellors and circuit judges,
which will be quite a departure from
present regulations.
A bill was passed reducing the price
of the Mississippi code of 1906 from
SIS to So, the vote being practically
unanimous Mr.. Gex of Hancock cast
the only negative vote.
The Senate passed the bill carrying
an appropriation for the carrying on of
the departmental work and general care
of the capitol, one of the most urgent
of the appropriation bills, which for
various reasons has hung fire for some
time.

TWENTY-NINTH DAY.

The paramount topics in legislative
floor proceedings today were the anti
bucketshop bill, or the Boddie BILL in
the Senate, and the bill to establish
the county of George in the House. The
former was practically an all-day mat
ter with the Senate, the only other
feature being Mr.. Harper's resolution
proposing to disband the State national
guard in Mississippi The Boddie anti
bucketshop bill, as amended by Senator
Anderson, passed the Senate by unani-
nous vote, after an all-day round, dur
ing which about half of the senators
spoke for or against it. The bill goes
back to the House for concurrence with
the Senate amendment, which does not
affect vital principle, and will be
before the governor before the week is
out.
In the House, after stiff debate, in
which the honors as to argument were
pretty nearly even, the bill to create
George county from two townships off of
Greene and township and half off
jackson, was defeated by close vote,
the score being So to 81.
In the House a resolution was of
fered by Mr.. Stennis, to the effect that
after Saturday this week no measure
reported adversely by a committee shall
be considered, unless called up by a
two-thirds vote. The object of this is
significant, implying that the members
desire to keep strictly to the business
in hand, and finish, if possible, by the
date. set for adjournment, March 10.
Two bills of Importance to the agri-
cultural interests were reported ia
vorably from the committee on agri-
culture. One of these is the bill to Gre
ate department of farmers Institutes,
in connection with the agricultural and
Mechanical College, and the other TO
authorize the creation of a live stock
sanitary board, with special reference
to eradication of the: cattle tick, and it
is believed both will pass.

THIRTY-FIRST DAY.

Mr.. Engle created flutter in the
Senate IN offering a resolution de-
handing the ejectment of all lobbyists
from the chamber, and specifying openly
the men supposed to represent the Cum
berland Telephone Company, some of
whom were on the floor of the chamber
at that time.
The House of Representatives spent
the morning in routine work, a num-
Der of bills being introduced and several
passed. Among the latter was the bill
appropriating the sum of 81 500 to de-
fray the costs incurred by the State in
carrying the sixteenth section land cases
to the appellate courts of the United
Sites; also bill to pay the law firm of
Stone & Sively of Oxford, for services
rendered the State in prosecuting the
assassins of Sheriff Poag of Tate eoun-
ty, the amount having been reduced to
$500 by the committe
The Boddie bill, providing for the
payment of levee tax by railroads OPP
Grating in the levee districts, after a
brief explanation, was passed without
opposition. The bill simply increases
the present rate or scale, according to
the existing classification
Other bills passed were the House
bill to prevent the blacklisting of en-
ployes of railroads, telegraph or tele-
phone companies who may affiliate with
labor organizations of any kind, which
went through unanimously; also the
Tyson bill, fixing a penalty of $25
against all telegraph and telephone COM
panies for failure to deliver promptly
all or any message entrusted, which was
afterward, under the rules, returned to
be engrossed at 12:45 pm.
A message was received from the
governor, announcing his approval of
some half dozen bills, after which the
House stood adjourned.

TwENTY-SEvENTH DAY.

0OucCs
The report of the judiciary COMMITTEE
indicated the knitting of a number 0
matters, among them the bill to Great
a State board of pardons, by naming tn
board of penitentiary trustees as such
the Perkins bill to establish scale o
office hours for county officers, and {
half dozen or so providing for the reg
istration of sureties on bonds.
The committee on fees and salaries
reported unfavorably on the bill to in
crease the salary of the Supreme Court
porter, and reported back the bill to in
crease the salary of the superintendent
OF education, with a committee sub
stitute.
The feature of the session was the
discussion of the resolution which pro
poses to cut down the salaries of the
chancellor of the university, the presi
dents of the Agricultural Mechanical
College and the Industrial Institute and
College.
There was a lively discussion, and at
one time it looked as if there might be
vote forced on the adoption of the
resolution, but this was beaten by the
adoption of motion to refer the ques.
ton to the fees and salaries committee
Senate.
Mr.. Whitman called up Senate bill to
authorize the board CT supervisors of
Jasper county to refund to F. H. Aims
worth, tax collector, certain sums due
him, and same passed after careful ex-
PLANTATION by Mr.. Whitman.
Mr.. Bilbo called up Senate bill III.
for relief of the Supreme Court repor.
ter.
Mr.. Mcdonnell explained the necessity
of this bill because the increased bust
ness Vt the court made two reports a
year necessary, whereas there was pro.
vision made to pay for but one, and
the bill passed.
Mr.. Simmons called up House bill
$50, to adds physics to the list of stud
les necessary to obtain a professional
(teacher's) license, and same passed.
Senate bill 1Os, authorizing board of
supervisors of Jefferson Davis county
to pay certain election expenses, was
passed.
House bill rs, relating to creation
of Jefferson Davis county, was passed.
Mr.. Anderson called up Senate bill
35, for the prevention of fraud in the
sale of stocks of merchandise in bulk,
and the same passed.
Mr.. Anderson called up Senate bill
Ill, and moved to adopt the committee
substitute, an act to amend section
4056 of the code, so as to abolish the
fellow servant rule, in actions for in
juries to employees of railroads and 9TH
ers using engines, ETC., propelled by
the dangerous agencies of steam, etc.
The bill sought to abolish the fellow
servant act as to corporations using en-
gines, locomotives or cars propelled by
the dangerous agencies of gas, etc.
Mr.. Engle desired to amend the sub
stitute, so that the act would apply
to steamboats, also.
Mr.. Anderson opposed the amendment
of Mr.. Engle, because he feared the
amendments passage would imperil the
constitutionality of the bill.
Mr.. Engle, recognizing Mr.. Anderson's
position, withdrew the amendment and
will introduce bill covering steam
boats.
The bill upon roll call passed.

The Senate adopted resolution pre-
scented by Mr.. Hebron providing for an
investigation of an allegation of misap-
propriated funds of Yazoo-Mississippi

cial committee of both houses.
The most interesting piece of new
legislation proposed was the introduc-
ton OF bill in the House by Mr.. Frier-
son OF Claiborne, for the creation of a
new circuit court district, to be called

And what shall we say of the
aching hearts? The mothers heart
that aches for her hayward boy, the
wife's heart that yearns for a car
ess from an erring husband.
What can equal a mothers love
for the boy?
You boys have grown from ten
der babies under a mothers watch
full care. All, boys, how many
heartaches do you cause that dear
old mother Do you realize the
world of affection in a mothers
heart? What joy can you have in
her sorrow? What pleasure. in her
pain? Stop my lad and think of
your mothers heart. You have it
in your power to make it glad, or
make it sad Let your heart warm
to hers as it did when a babe in
arms. Kindley stroke the gray
hairs on her head and assure her
that in your heart there is seated a
deep and lasting love and reverence
for her.
Do you know that this subject of
hearts is the grandest one on earth?
The more you study it the longer it
grows. 1t is broad as the earth, as
high as heaven and as deep as the
unfathomable abyss. Hearts are the
trump cards in life, and the ticket
we must present at the door of
heaven.
The heart is bookkeeper of our
actions. How do you keep it? Is
it clean and pure enough for public
inspection, or is it SCARED over
with bad thoughts and worse deeds?
All keep thy heart diligently for
out of it are the issues Of life.

to weigh our own. 1t is the bar at
which we Judge our enemies. 1t is
the fountain head of all our
thoughts and deeds. 1t is the
safe deposit where we treasure up
all the sweet memories of the past,
and the tablet on which is marked
the scars of ill-treatment. 1t is the
captain of the little craft in which we
journey down the stream of life.
1t is the dwelling place of the soul
that indestructible spiritual life
that dwells within us.
There are glad hearts, and sad
hearts, and hearts that are broken.
Did you ever think that no human
being was ever born whose destiny
was not linked with the heart of
some one else. There is the
mothers solicitude for her child;
the heart is its abiding place. The
two hearts are bound together by
the tender cords of affection, and no
distance that separates them can
break this binding force.
The head is receptacle in which
to store knowledge; the heart is a
monitor that directs that knowI-
edge. The glad hearts! How
welcome they are in this old world!
The hearts that wear a smiling face
and extend the glad hand! They
scatter sunshine wherever they go.
They inspire us with good thoughts
and the desire to do noble things.
They smooth down the rough places
of life. They remove the obstacles
from our paths and sweeten the
pleasures of this old world.
Then there are the hearts that
are sad, and appeal to our sympa-
thies. They water our own hearts

spirit of love and compassion.
