QUEER JOURNALISM.

A sensational tragedy occurred at
Hazlehurst late yesterday afternoon
The Jackson Clarion-Ledger TINS
morning contains a pretty gooo ac-
oornt of the affair. but the story is
printed on an inside page of the paper
under small headlines. Other trag-
odies in remote sections of the world,
are played up on the first page
This reminds us of the fact that
both of the Jackson dailies bar local
and state news from their first pages.
No matter how important the item' II
if happens in jackson or Mississippi,
it must go to ali inside page.
An ancient custom-this! Ten or
twenty years ago it was observed by
most newspaper OF metropolitan pre-
tentions. Just why, nobody knows.
But most newspapers in this day
have learned better. The local news
gets first position in the New York
World, in the New York Sun, and In
an overwhelming majority of the big
papers throughout the country. And
why not? Isn't it more interesting to
q majority of readers? Doesn't live
local news sell more papers?
Both of the Jackson newspapers are
creditable publications. They print
more news, perhaps, han any other
papers in the state. But they ought
to get out of the ruts and play up"
the big local and state news stories
on their first pages.

What do you mean?" asked her
bosom friend.
WELL" hesitated Nannette, "of
course she's as neat as can be, but her
clothes look as If they we're made for
Mrs. Methuselah.'
III it's only her clothes, you needn't
worry" remarked the bosom friend.
You don't have to wear EN-"
It's not only her clothes!" shrieked
Nannette. ITS her notions! They are
simply appalling"
For instance" suggested the bosom
friend, taking q look at her back hair
In the mirror with the help Of hand
glass.
For one thing, she objects to my
name" explained Nannette, indig-
nantly. THE very first thing she did
after taking a comprehensive view
OF the family-was to stare at me
through her spectacles-steel-rim
ones, at that-and ask: is this one
Nancy, my god-child?'
Dad, who is proud as can be of his
enormous family, looked a little sheep
ish at that.
Y-y-yes,' he suffered. We had
her christened Nancy, of course, but
she has taken a fancy to be called
er-Nannette."
Humph! said Aunt Nancy"
why. she was perfectly scandal

Charles all the evening without the
assistance of the other members of

Am l to understand, Maria she
asked, fixing poor mother with her
eye, that this child has visitors from
whose company her parents and her
brothers and sisters are barredT
"Times have changed, Nancy said
dad, looking silly"
In my time, said Aunt Nancy, It
was our greatest pleasure to have
our parents and all the family enter
into our enjoyments and help in the
entertainment Of our friends"
Well, ! declared" said the bosom
friend.
Now, do you wonder that l was
frightened at the idea of Charles meet

A Preference for the Rod.

Two-thirds of the small boys in the
public schools would rather take a
thrashing than submit to any nice,
ladylike punishment, such as stand
ing in the corner on one foot or being
shut up in a dark closet. So says a
teacher. That is fact, no matter how
eloquently those who don't know-and
half the people who talk don't know
may spout about the shame and ig-
nomy, not to mention the physical
discomfort, of a whipping. No doubt
there is a certain amount of all three
inconvenience attached to a good
trimming, but in the opinion of the av-
erage boy those disadvantages are Off
set by a certain accompanying dignity.
To merit a thrashing indicates that
the boy has done something worth
while. 1t makes of him a kind Of
hero. Punishment to the corner or the
dark closet and kindred minor punish.
ments may be all very well for girls,
but boys yearn for something more
heroic. l am not claiming, mind you,
that this preference indicates highly
moral or commendable spirit; 1t is sim
ply the natural boys attitude.-New
York Press.

Columbus, o.. December 11.-Three
weeks from tomorrow, on January q.
the Republican members of the Ohio
legislature will hold a caucus to
choose the man they will support for
United States senator. The legisla-
ture will meet on the following Mon
day, January 4. Although nearly a
dozen men are in the field, the choice
has apparently narrowed down to
Senator Foraker and Charles P. Taft,
brother of the president-elect. Mr..
Taft has been promised the thirteen
Republican votes of Hamilton county,
and the Legislators of other counties
are falling into the Taft column
Friends of Foraker continue hopeful
and express confidence that he will
be returned. The vote on senator will
take place January 6.

A HOLIDAY INNOVATION.

The Saturday Evening Post pub
fishes the following interesting and
valuable story:
"A travelling salesman had an only
son with whom he had been liberal in
the matter Of spending money, and
ather thoughtless. The boy began de-
veloping extravagant habits, and had
no appreciation of the value of money
So the father made it rule that all
the spending money he got in future
must be earned. The boys mother
was made the employer, and regular
schedule of prices for definite chores
was drawn up-two cents basket for
splitting kindling, five cents an hour
for hoeing garden, five cents a hum
dred for collecting potato bugs.
This reformed the boy in one way,
for it made him ambitious. He got
out of bed early in the morning to
earn money. There was always big
pile of kindling on hand, and he kept
an eye open for odd jobs of all kinds.
But the reason he worked for
money was that he might buy more
or less useless things that he had
bought under the old arrangement. So
saving plan was added to the earn
ing plan.
The boy was permitted to spend
one-quarter of all the money he made
in his own way, without supervision.
Another quarter went into a small
home bank, to be deposited in saw
ings account at interest. The remain
ing fifty per cent Of his earnings was
kept back by his father, half to be
invested in books and half in tools
and toys.
Before anything was bought out of
this final fund, however, father and
son had conference and agreement
on articles to be purchased or books
selected. Thus the fund went chiefly
to the purchase of educational toys,
such, as printing-press, a scroll-saw,
camera. No anticipation of pay
ments was permitted. nor any trans
fer of money from one fund to another
to hurry the consummation of a pur-
chase. In that way the fact that there
was a surplus on hand did not kill
the incentive to work for an object"

Supt. ]. A. Carnagey acted as
chairman of the meeting. Trustee w
]. Hills was the first TO talk Mr.
Hills spoke OF the condition Of the
schools at the time he was elected 0
trustee. There were not enough
buildings and the buildings are unsafe
and unsanitary. especially the Lee
building at Fourth and Ohio streets
which has 900 pupils. and the health
officer has ordered a sanitary sewer
put in, which will cost So 1900. The
Lincoln building is also In an unsan-
itary condition.
Some OF the primary departments
have &c pupils in a room. Mr. Hills
stated that no teacher OF the primary
department could do justice to such
a large number of pupils, and 35 to
40 pupils were as many as any teach
er could handle. Mr.. Hills showed
how the Indebtedness was brought on
the school board. The old Longfellow
building al Fifth street and Kentucky
avenue was sold and the money was
used to erect new buildings which
were badly needed. The Mckinley
was completed and the Whittier and
the new Longfellow buildings Were
started. but the money gave out SO
the money was taken out Of the main
tenanee fund to have the new build
ings completed and IL then became
necessary for the board to borrow
money to pay the teachers. II now
costs the schools TO run one year for
payroll only $4,000 and the schools
receive $4,000 which allows $4,000
for repair work and building pur-
