New York would give them the loud, de-

that wasn't strictly according to the

being as they are thoroughly and satisfac-

about the way he trims his foliage. But
when he's been dead long enough for US to
forget his side whiskers and remember
only his virtues. We erect a monument
that can be readily recognized as his by
reading the name on the pedestal. and in
his honor we devise historical pageants
which have the hearty approval of every
hotel keeper in town. It's much the same
with our great expositions. Every now and

who all. Well, after it had been discov-
cred some seven or eight hundred times and
was an old story to all the older families
in the vicinity, here came Friend Hank,
sailing along with his Dutch crew. in a
ship shaped like a piece Of pie. 1t would
seem that his attention was attracted al
most Immediately by the Catskill noun
tains, they being quite noticeable on the
right-hand side as you go up. So he de-
cided to make good, thorough job in the
discovery line while he was at it. and he
put on his brass breastplate and his tin
hat and his full eweled-movement sword
and proceeded to land and discover them,

know about that? I'm great mind to go
down and hit him rap on his hunting
case thatll wreck his works. It's what
we get for failing to put up trespass signs
on the place.
Nevertheless Hank was all right. He
meant for the best, always. The class of
work he was engaged in kept him away
from home and must've broken in a good
deal on his evenings. He had a hard. sad
finish, too. He was ruined by misplaced
sense of humor. You remember, he sailed
I'D the coast with his crew one time and
they got severe attack of Walterwe)-

north. They held a mass meeting and put
ii up to him to tell them where they
were anyhow, il he happened to know.
And quick as flash he said I have you
safe at bay And they said, What bay?'
naturally, and he said, with merry
laugh. 'Hudson's bay. And just for that
they put him over the side. The Dutch
always were a slow people to see a joke.
He was never seen agaln, and that's one
reason I'm glad, even at this late day.

And the stars begin to shine so bright;
When the bids have gone into their

And the gay world has gone to rest

Think of my darling, my very own.
For she is all the world to me,
And none other will | ever see.
The days may come, and the days may
go,
But she'1 be true to me, know;
And she is going very far away,
She told me so the other day.
Perhaps We may never meet again,
And heart will surely ache with pain;
For there never was another half as
sweet,
Never another half as neat,

Thus far the depository law, aside
being a very remunerative source OF
revenue to the state, has proven very
satisfactory method of keeping the
states funds. during the months VIII en-
there were funds to keep, in banks
which had amply secured the state
against loss, relieving the state treasurer
of much responsibility incident to keep :
ing large sums on hand in the treasury
vaults, and there has been no reason for
the state legislature to regret its action
in passing the bill.
While the repositories make less ac-
tual responsibility in the treasury, at
the same time they make more work in
the way of bookkeeping, which, how
ever, the treasurer prefers to keeping
the money on hand.

BIENNIAL SESSION MISSISSIPPI LEGISLATURE


Jackson News, Dec. 90. Two weeks
from today the Mississippi legislature
will convene in biennial session for the
purpose of acting on revenue and ap-
preparation bills and considering such
other subjects as the Governor may see
fit to recommend to the body.
AT the state house today active pre-
parations for the reception OF lawmakers
were commenced. The two Legislative
chambers are being thoroughly reno
vated, committee rooms placed in readi-
ness, stationery, ETC., supplied for the
desks of members, and when the solons
commence to reach the city they will
find everything ready for the COM
mencement of work.
There will be no occasion for delay
in getting down to business at the ap-
preaching term, as no officers are to be
chosen and both houses will doubtless
announce that they are in readiness to
receive the governors message by the
hour of one p. m. on Monday. The
governor will complete the preparation
of his message by the middle of the
week. Present indications are that the
session will last at least sixty days, ow-
ing to the large number of special SUBJ
jects that will be considered.
This, at least, is the opinion that pre-
walls among the legislators who have
visited the capital during the past. thirty
days, and who have discussed the pros
pective trend of legislation with the
governor, being made acquainted with
some of the more important subjects he
intends to recommend for consideration.
What the contents of the governors
message will be is already fairly well
known, since he has discussed the docu-
ment very frankly with visitors, and an
nouneed a number of the subjects on
which he intends to propose new laws.
Lieutenant-Governor Manship will re-
turn home tonight from short lecture
tour and will remain at the capital un-
til the close Of the session. Speaker H.
NJ. Street is expected to come over from
Meridian on January 1st. While the
advance guard of lawmakers will reach
mere on Sundar following Christmas, a
9oodly number will probably defer their
arrival until the latter part of the week.
AT this session the lawmakers will re-
ceive S5 per day each for the full period
| they spend in jackson, with the usual
alloAance for mileage.

NOT A VERY
ROSY PROSPECT
This Spring Backward. The
Weather has Been Cool and
Has Rained Much.

The spring has indeed been unfa-
vOrable for the farmer. There has
been an unusual amount of cool
weather, SO much that cotton and al
most all other small vegetation, wears
a brownish unhealthy look and is
growing OF very slowly. To the cool
weather frequent rains have been
added which has not only retarded
the attainment OF a normal temper
ature in the soil but has hin1ered
blowing. Flowing is fully two weeks
behind what is done at this time
in May. The rains continue and it is
by no means rosy prospect that con-
fronts the farmer. If the old proverb,
"a dry May and June for a good crop
year" is to be the standard by which
the crop OF 1909 is to be measured in
this section, the farmers may well be
apprehensive if the remainder o,
May and June is to be what the first
three weeks of May have teen.

For the Master.

Two ships set out on Sum 'mry sea,
And each was gallant sight;
With bulls so trim and with maStS so
slim,
With sails of a shining white:
And one was as sturdy as bark can be,
While the other was small and
slight.
Two ships rest still with their journeys
DER,
But with logs OF a different sort;
For the big and brave fought wind
and wave,
While the other did but sport;
And the stronger lies wrecked on a
foreign shore,
While the weaker is safe in port.
Two records there are OF two ships
that sailed,
And the pages are side by side;
Is there master who dare claim the
tale more fair
For the craft of the kindly tide:
Is there shame in the record "battled
and failed"
And none in "unconquered-un
tired"
