Only A Sunbeam.

Only q stray sunbeam! Yet per-
chance it hath pierced some wretch
ed abode, gladdened some stricken
heart, or its golden light found it:
way Through the leafy branches Of
some wild wood, kissed the moss
covered bank where the tiny violet
grew and caused shades of beauty ,,tc
%ptn its lovely form. -.
Only gentle. breeze! But how
many aching brows hath, it famed,
how many hearts cheered by its gen
tie touch, : ~ :
Only one stray bullet that pierced
the noble soldier-boy as he trod the
lonely midnight round, faithfully
guarding the precious lives inttust-
ed to, his keeping, and the.life blood
slowly ebbed out, and the sunbeam
fell onsthe cold face of the dead.
Only a drop of ink And yet it
carried the news of death to the
anxious ones at home, and caused
the tear of anguish to trickle down
the furrowed cheek of a widowed
mother -. -.
!, Only a frowan! But it left sad,
dreary ache in that child's heart,
and the quiYering lips and fearful
eyes told how keenly he felt it.
Only smilet But ali! how it
cheered the broken heart, engender-
ed ray of hope, and cast halo of
light around. the unhappy present
made the bed-ridden one forget its
present agony for the moment as it
dwelt in the sunshine of joy and
lived in the warmth of that smile.
Let US all increase our giving of
smiles during 1908. They cost moth
ing and are of untold value, especi-
ally in the Home Circle.

THIRTY-SEVENTH DAY.

The feature of the day in the legisla-
tive halls was the discussion of the Nc
Dowell child labor bill in the Senate,
bill that has been pending in committee
for some time past and whose author
has awaited favorable opportunity to
call the. measure up. Like the uni
versity appropriation bill yesterday and
the constitutional convention bill of
Tuesday, it required an entire afternoon
to enable the Senators to state their
views on the question. And, after ALL.
the measure is still undisposed of, hav-
ing been recommitted, with instructions
to bring in compromise measure.
In the House another round was hail
with the constitution when Chairman
G. L. Jones of the Constitution Commit
tee called up his concurrent resolution
to change the method of disposing of
the common school fund and providing
for a triangular series of funds, to be
so dispensed as to give the black coun-
ties and the poorer counties as well as
those of the higher class, as to manu-
features, assessed valuation and popu-
Iation, the proportion of money to which
they are entitled, for the. purpose of Sc
curing uniform four months term dur.
ing the scholastic year.

THIRTY-SIXTR DAY.

In the Senate the main question of
the day was the bill for the support and
maintenance of the University of Missis-
sippi.
All the amendments suggested by the
Finance Committee were agreed to
eventually, notwithstanding a weak at
tempt to flibuster.
This is a very important matter, il
view of the conditions now prevalent in
this state. The bill forbids any trust
or combine making any contribution to
the campaign fund ,of any candidate. 1t
also makes it unlawful for any candi-
date to begin canvass before August 1
of the year preceding the election; for
a candidate to promise any office to any
person in exchange for votes or as re-
ward for work in his favor, ETC.

Choose The Best Society.


. 1t should be the aim of every
young person to find an entrance in
to good society. By good we do
not mean fashionable society. That
often merits last of all this honora-
bic title. A good social circle is
one where sound principles, refn-
ed manners, and intelligent ideas
are the characteristics of its mem
bers. Many young man has gore
to ruin by choosing the society of
the low and vulgar, instead of those
whose influence would be elevating.
!. 1t is always SO easy to fall into
evil, but often requires hard work
to gain a sure footing in a refined
circle. But the end is with the
effect. If a. young man desires to
sharpen his intellect, he will find
that judicious mingling with So
ciety, will do this better than dig
ging forever over his books. There
is a wonderful amount of electrici-
tY in the social atmosphere, and the
galvanic battery of the social circle
will not fail to, elicit some brilliant
sparkles. -
IT one desires to improve in man
ners he>can never do SO except by
mihgling with the refined and good
Diffidence often keeps back those
who have in early life had but few
social advantages. The only way to
overcome 'this painful difficulty is
to plunge in. tits one of the most
easily cured of all maladies. A bath
in the bracing ocean of social life
will enable person to keep his
footing bravely.
Your chances of success in life
will be ten fold greater if you. have
secured a wide circle of good
friends by your obliging and gen
tlemanly manners. No one cares
about trusting and recommending
a person of whom thew know little
or nothing except that they exist in
the same community. You will of
ten advance your interests more by
spending social evening in a re-
spectacle family, than you will by
sitting In. your room and pouring
over your money matters, or wri-
ting whole package of business
letters. F.re

being put to the vote it was found that
there lacked three votes of being enough
to make two-thirds of the House, and so
the amendment was lost.

THTRTY-FOURTH DAY.
Ho1iSa

The most complete surprise of the day
in the Legislature was the passage by
the House, by a vote of SO to 26, of the
QuiA elective judiciary bill The surprise
lay not so much in the passage of the
bill as for the fact that it was directly
in opposition to the recommendations of
the Governor in special message sent
to the two houses. The debate on the
bill was interrupted by the reading of
the message, yet the advocates were
able to keep their forces well in hand,
and contrived to win out on the first
round. The feature of the bill that en-
gendered the most opposition was that
which seemed to invade the constitutions
ally provided prerogative of the Gov
ernor, as it provides that whatsoever may
be nominated as Judge OF chancellor must
be recommended to the Governor as the
peoples choice, and he would forthwith
be expected to appoint that individual.
resolution was presented by Mr..
Stanton and referred to the Committee
on Agriculture, in which he tartly criti-
cised the recent report of the forestry
experts on conditions Of the pine lands
of the State, and especially the cut-over
lands, and demanded a close investiga-
ton, asserting that the conclusions of
the experts were erroneous and based on
their ignorance or Interior design.
Senate.
The Senate passed the State normal
bill by vote of "a to 10. This was Just
one more vote trxn was necessary to give
the measure a clear majority of all the
Senators, but it was sufficient There is
no telling what the House will do to it,
as that body is said to be the low pres
sure stronghold. The bill provides for
an appropriation of 100000.
It was an all-day session of the SEN
ate, the bill having come up early, and 1t
was only at lunch time that vote on
recemmittaI was held In order, that the
suggested amendment might be better
studied by those in charge of the meas
ure.
Just before adjournment the Senate
passed the Alcorn College agricultural
appropriation bill, reported favorabfy by
Chairman Sample, of the Finance Com
mittee. There was no sign of a lobby,
either for or against the BILL and It
passed with only Aye dissenting votes.
The Committee on Finance reported
back the bill to increase the salary of
the secretary of the R&ilroad Commits
sion, with an amendment fixing 1t at
$1,000, which was favorably reported.

for. His argument is to the effect that
the nation exacts from it's ex-presi-
dents dignity and aloofness from the
usual occupations of life that restrain
them from engaging in money making
pursuits; therefore he thinks provision
should be made for them out of the
public treasury. As illustrating his
point, he refers to the extremities to
which some ex-presidents have been
reduced. citing particularly the case
of Jefferson. who was brought almost
to dire want in his old age.

Taft Defends Administration.
The first public addresses made by
Secretary Taft since his return were
made at Boston last week, the princi-
pal one being in the evening during
the dinner of the Merchants associa-
ton. 1t had been rumored that on this
occasion Taft would break away from
the Roosevelt apron strings and ap-
peal to the. so called conservatives. On
the contrary, he made a glowing de-
Tense of the administration, which won
applause from the business men there
Assem- bled. He declared that mo panic
can make wrong right and rejected
the plea that conservatism means the
condoning of lawlessness He denied
that the policy of the administration
had been directed against capital as
such or that the president had ar
raigned the whole business community
as dishonest. Instead of causing a
panic. he said. the policy of opposing
lawless trusts and supervising stock
issues would tend to prevent such dis.
orders in future. He was opposed to
government ownership of railroads,
which means state socialism," and
added these impressive words: But if
the abuses 4of monopoly and discrim-
ination cannot be restrained. and If the
concentration of power made possible
by sach abxses continues. then social
ism VIII triumph and the institution of
private property VIII perish. The
question which you have ultimately. to
meet IN whether we shall Raintain a
strict regulation of railroads and trusts
or shall turn the country over to the
advocates OF government ownership
and state socialism" After reciting
the measures taken by the adminfs-
tration Taft said that it had been
shown that dangers from Individual
ism could be regulated and abuses in
the exercise Of private property could
be restrained and that thus great
conservative victory had been won and
the coBing Of socialism had been
stayed"
