Good Counsel.

No young men can hope to rise in
society, or perform worthily his part
in life without fair moral character
The basis of such a character is vir-
tuous, fixed sense of moral obligation
sustained and invigorated by the fear
and love of God. The youth who pos
SesseS such character can be trust
ed. Integrity, justice, benovolence,
truth are not with him words with
out meaning; he feels and knows
their sacred import and aims in the
tenor CT his life to exemplify the vir
tues they express Such man has
decision Of character; he knows what
is right and is firm in pnrsuing it; he
thinks and acts for himself, and is not
to be made the tool of unprincipled
and time serving politicians to do the
dirty work of party. Such man has
true worth of character; his life is u
blessing to himself, to his family, to
society and to the world; and he is
pointed out to future generations as
proper example for the rising youth
to emulate.

Correct Speaking.

All young people should acquire, in
early life, the habit of correct speak
ing and writing, and to abandon, as
early as possible, all use of slang
words and prases. The longer you
live, tt e more difficult the Language
will be; and if the golden age of youth
the proper season for the acquisition
of language, be passed in its abuse,
the unfortunate victim, if neglected,
is very properly doomed to talk slang
for life. Money is not necessary to
procure this education Every man
has it in his power He has merely to
use the language which he reads in
stead of the slang which he hears; to
form his taste from the best of speak
ers and poets in the country; to treas
ure up choice phrases in his memory
and hahituate himself to their use, "a
voiding at the same time that pedan-
tic precision and bombast which
show the weakness of vain ambition
rather than the polish of an educated
mind.

THIRD DAY.

The features of the third day in the
Mississippi legislature were the trans
mission to each house of the final mes
sage of Gov. Vardaman, which was read
in full in the house, the reading being
interrupted by the approach of the din
ner hour, and the session of the joint
assembly for the election of librarian,
which consumed practically all of the
afternoon.
In the senate, after Secretary Rob
erson had concluded the reading of about
a fourth of the message, the further
reading was dispensed with. The mes
sage was pronounced by those who fol-
lowed the reading as one of the most
complete and comprehensive that has
come from any governor of the State,
and as more than one of the legislators
declared, "a most complete and satisfac-
tory accounting for a successful stew
ardship.
But the feature of the day, from a
human interest viewpoint, was the Joint
assembly at $3.50 for the election of a
state librarian, a contest which has ex-
cited interest not only at the capital,
but all over the state. The hour for
this Joint meeting was set for $3.50,
and by pm. the galleries and side
aisles were crowded with men and wo-
men, while many of the gallant and
chivalrous young men of the assembly
had vacated their seats for the accom-

Married Men.

There is an expression in the face
of good married man who has good
wife, that bachelors face cannot
possess. 1t is indescribable. He is a
little nearer the angels than the
handsomest young fellow living. You
can see that his broad breast is a pill
low for somebody's head, and that
little gingers pulled his whiskers. No
one ever mistakes the good married
man. 1t is only the erratic one that
leaves you in doubt. The good one
can protect all the unprotected fe-
males, and make himself generally a.
greeable to the ladies, and yet never
leave doubt on any mind that there
is precious little woman at home
worth all the world to him.

House.
At the conclusion of the reading OF
the governors message in the house the
speaker laid before the house the veto
message of the governor accompanying
the returned Alcorn fire protection bu-
reau bill, passed at the last session
In his veto message returning the
fire prevention bureau bill, the gov.
ernor points out that the main reason
for the Withholding of his approval
lies in the fact that one of the clauses
of the measure is so constructed that
an Insurance company entering into the
compact and afterwards desiring to
withdraw would be unable to do SO
without going into liquidation.
Representative Alcorn, who prepared
and introduced the bill in the last leg
islature. stated that he could not state
positively what step he would take, but
in all probability will ask that it lie on
the table for the time being.

MADE BASIS OF LOANS.
Money Was Borrowed on Life Insur
ance Policies During Panic.

Money Was Borrowed on Life lnsur-
ance Policies During Panic.
New York, Jan. 9,-The extent to
which life insurance policies were
made the basis of loans during the
stress of the recent financial furry Is
measurably revealed in the current re-
port of one of the big life insurance
companies, the figures showing that
$4,000 policy holders borrowed a total
of SIS, 600 900 from the company on
their policies in 1907, a large proper
ton of the loans being made recently
to men of considerable means VINO
carry policies fer sums ranging from
$50 900 to 100000.
The company was compelled by the
terms of it's policies to make the
loans, some OF which were the result
of policy holders inability to pay
their premiums. These borrowed the
money from the company to make the
payments and keep in good standing.
Borrowing for investment buying OF
stocks was another factor in the heavy
demand for loans when the money
stringency was at its height.
Insurance men say that many of the
borrowers, undoubtedly tempted by
the low prices of securities during the
panic, obtained money in this way for
stock market investments.

There are two ways of starting on

your parents are ending magnifici-

an elegant turnout. The other is to
begin little nearer where father and
mother-of blessed memory-began.
You see you can go up as easily and
gracefully, if events show it would be
safe; but it would be trying aud awk-
ward to come down. And it COTS

Mind Your Own Business.

Those are just the words. Had
we looked through i. Webster Una
bridged" we could not have found
four words that expressed so entirely
our meaning as these. We believe
the four words we're made with direct
reference to the grumbling, growing
misceief- makers.
People who never mind their own
business are very much such class
of animals as the cross. surly, whiffet
dogs, that are always barking, biting
and nabbing somebody. We wonder
if they would appreciate lecture?
te find out. Don't you think the
world and the people in it will live
and prosper without the tremendous
anxiety you carry on your shoulders
by keeping an eye on everything and
every body in the whole neighborhood
and world besides? Can't Mrs A
make a sweet cake without your ly-
ing awake nights for fear there is
going to be a wedding and you will
not be invited? Can't Jennie have a
new gown but you must immediate ~
see it, know the price, aud for what
special occasion it was purchased, or
die of curiosity? Can t neighbor b.
and his wife go by but you'll bet
they're going to see somebody and
have sighted you?
Did God make you and Us on pur-
pose to superintend His universe and
everybody's affairs and assume the
control of the free will" he gave
mon? Is this the purpose and plan of
our existence and destiny, to forever
be modelling with somebody's bust
hess? 1t gives US that tired feeling
to think of the pains some people
take to gather the smallest item of
news. They leave their own gar
,!ca to grow full of weeds while they
are trying to hold up before every
body, the few they pull from their
neighbours. They do everything but
mind their own business. They never
speak of their own faults or follies.
No, indeed; by the time the whole
town is criticised and Judgment pro
nounced, they have not a moment
left to do more than congratulate
| themselves on their own good works.
People who don't mind their bust
ness bring more misery into families,
societies and churches than every
thing else combined. They tuln the
pleasant, peaceful stream of good will
into ioathsome pool.
Winding our own business will make
peaceful homes, happy neighbors and
sweet conscience that will mike us
know why Jesus loved the peacemak-
ers and said of them Blessed are the
peacemakers, for they shall be called
the children of God .
Now this is plain talk. but if the
shoe does not fit you. N do not
put it on, but should it fit the longer
you wear it the better it will be for
you and the entire community.
