Doing politics by long distance

that has been recently injected

Seattle seems to be assured OF
two things that she hoped for and
they are the winning of the pen

bad in print, but since graft is
common to all purchasing agents,

for the past dozen years we are
inclined to think, he will make

however, will lie in the fact that,

IN THE REALM OF BILLION
AIRES

Read this, from a newspaper in
New Jersey, the home of multi
millionaires, and multi-billion-
aires, and see if it's mere perusal
will not make you feel rich:
A $4,000 automobile rolled
through the 100000 bronze gates
and up the $4,000 winding ave-
nue. to the $4,000 marble steps.
Descending from the machine,
the Millionaire paused a moment
to view the smiling 100000 land
scape.
Across the 100000 lawn a $685.
900 silver lake lay spelling in the
shades of early evening, and be-
yond it rose a lordly $4,000 hill,
whose crest, cloakede with forest
at an expense Of 100000, glowed
in the last golden rays Of the set
ting sun.
The Millionaire sunk luxuriously
into a $4,000 ivory porch chair and
rested his feet on the rosewood
railing of the 100000 veranda.
1T is pleasant he observed,
to get back to nature once in a
while. After the cares and wor-
ries of the business day [ certain

Feeling restored, he passed in
through the 100000 doorway to
his $500 dinner.

Interesting Litigation Comes Up This
 Week.


 Gulfport. Miss, May 15.-(Special)- On next Monday, May IT. Circuit Court will convene here for a long term of civil business. Among the more nota- ble suits will be brought forward once more the revised version of the O'Pry- Hardy litigation with which Judge W H. Hardy, bne of the most dignlfed and distinguished jurists of the courts of Mississippi. has been harassed at almost every civil term of Harrison County, for some two or three years.
 The case Is set for the first day of the coming term by Judge Welles. specially appointed to hear this suit, who was here for two days during the past civil term. but could not get the prosecution to consent to trial without certain depositions and documentary evidence which were not then at hand.
 In consenting to a continuance Judge hearing was set arbitrarily for the first Monday of the May term and would positively go to trial at that time.

Bowers, a feature which adds considerable interest to the case In view of the spectacular Congress slonal campaign in which leading coun- sel for both sides were cast for the stellar roles last summer.
 Now that Gulfport, long known as the city without a graveyard" has become possessed of a real live" cem- etery of many broad acres. the city fathers have given themselves no little concern as to a suitable name for this necessary addition. Various womens organizations were appealed to for suggestions. but with masculine impa- tience the Council got tired waiting for the women to make up their minds, so each of the municipal directors has un- dertaken to find a suitable name to be voted on at the next general meeting.
 Saturday, May 22. will be known as Hospital Day in Gulfport, for on that day every member of the Kings Daugh- ters Circle will go out among the peo- pie and ask for help in securing a suit able location and building for the charity hospital which, since it's es- tablishment here some two years ago, has been occupying borrowed quarters by courtesy of Captain James l..

lures Of the program, while one of thu
strongest sections is that devoted 10
the rural schools. Some of the fore
most educators of New England wh1
are interested in rural education VIII
be present at two meetings devoted to
country schools. President John
