Not A Safe Place.

Old Aunt Hepsy Garside never
had seen a moving picture before
says the Youths Companion.
She gazed in speeches. wonder
at he.magic contrivance by
which messenger boys were
made to move with breakneck
speed, BARRIERS to shave their
customers in less than a minute
and heavy policeman to dash
along the street at a pace never
attained by a living specimen
either on or off duty.
1t was all real to her. She
could not doubt the evidence OF
her sense. All those things
were taking place exactly as de-
picted.
Presently an automobile came
in sight in the far background,
moving directly toward the au-
dience at the rate of a mile q
minute. Just as a catastrophe
seemed inevitable it 'swervee
aside. passed on and disappeared.
Aunt Hepsey could stand il
no longer. Hastily grasping the
hand Of her niece she rose anc
started swiftly for the door.
Come along Minervy! she
said, ct amt safe to stay here
any longer. That thing didn't
miss me more than two feet"

Did you ever stop to think how
much of a girls life is spent in
curl papers and kimona? When
you see her all perfumed and
powdered and sitting up paving
soul stirring rhapsodies out OF
the grand piano, with her hair
all beautifully curled, you never
think about this phase OF it, do
you young man? Also recall that
the dainty little pink fingers and
delicately manicured nails that
you love to kiss in the twilight
may never have turned over q
broiled steak in a greasy skillet,
or pattled fluffy puffy biscuits
on a dough board, hey? You
should think of all this when you
ask her to leave her peppers par

Work.

Work for the best salary or
wages you can get, but work for
half price rather than be idle.
Be your own master, and do not
let society or fashion swallow
you Individually hat coat and
boots. Do not eat up or wear
out all you can earn. Compel
your selfish body to spare some
ching for profits saved. Be
stingy to your appetites, but
merciful to other necessities.
Help others, and ask no help
for yourself. See that you are
proud, too! Let the pride be of
the right kind. Be too proud to
be lazy, too proud to give up
without conquering every diff,
Guilty; too proud to wear a coat
you cannot afford to buy, too
proud to be in company that you
can not keep up with in expense
too proud to be stingy.-Ex.

Daddy Knows"

Anent the Ruth Bryan Leavitt
divorce, William Allen White
wrote this little classic on Dad
dy". "The moral of the Bryan
girls tragedy is that Daddy
knows. He sees men every day
in all of the aspects. He sees
good men. He sees bad men,
who have some good in them.
He sees designing men and weak
men. And he knows. More
than that, his heart is just as
soft as yours, and if a man is
any kind of a man you will be
happy, but Daddy knows.
Trust him. Believe that if there
is any show for you at all, Dad
dy won't object. Daddy is not
the crank he seems. Daddy
wants you to be happy. He has
all the high hopes for you that
you have for yourself, and when
Daddy says no-Daddy knows.
Ii girls would only remember
that this would be a brighter,
happier world. For Daddy, who
isn't much use around the house
and is not generally supposed to
be considerable Of an 1T" one
way or another, at home-Dad-
dy, who seems to have forgotten
all about the golden land Of true
romance in which youth lives,
old Daddy's memory is long, and
his soul is wrapped up in you,
my dear: Da Idly knoWs!"

HASN'T sEENTo TuPELo YET.

At a reception given in his
honor at Hotel Hattiesburg last
night, Governor E. F. Noel paid
a high compliment to the effici-
e .cy Of the local constabulary
and the judicial officers of Hat
tiesburg and Forrest county. In
discussing the a1visability of or
ganizing law and order league
in Hattiesburg, he said that such
an organization was probably less
needed in Hattiesburg than in
any other large city in the state.

In Memory Of Our Dear Brother.

On the evening of March rs 1909 at
about 9 o'clock the spirit of cur dear
brother, James Floyd Baskin, left the
walks and scenes of this life to enter
that of a better and sweeter life. Yes
he has gone to live with God.
AS "a child he was sweet spirited,
kind and obedient. AS a man he was
honest in dealing, true to principle
without regard to consequences.
AS a christian he loved his Savior
with that love that caused an honest
effort to do as he thought in his honest
heart the Savior would have done un.
der the same circumstances, which hs
considered only as loyalty to him wht
died that poor sinners might live.
AS a son there are none better. none
truer to his mother and to the noble
principles of honesty taught him by
his father who preceded him some ter
years ago in crossing deaths chilly
stream. All who knew him seemed
to love him. We shall all miss hin
but he waits to greet us over there.

People VIII Talk

Yes, people will talk,
The saving is true;
They will talk about me,
They will talk about you.
If we go to the opera
Some one will say,
We should go to the church
And learn how to pray.
If we go to church
And offer up prayers.
They say we are hypocrites
And putting on airs.
If we are rich
They call us a thief,
Scott at u sorrows,
And laugh at our griefs.
If we are poor
They say we shirk,
We're always lazy
And never would work.
They talk of our prospects
| They talk of our past,
! A I'd if we are happy,
They say it can't last
They talk of our loved ones,
They talk of our foes,
/ They talk of our follies,
They talk of our woes.
They talk of our joys,
They talk of our Tears,
They talk of our smiles,
They talk of our tears.
They talk if we are single,
They talk if we are wed,
| They talk of us living,
They talk of US dead.
Though we live like an angel,
With circumspect walk,
| Our efforts are useless,
For the people will talk. I

pute over the possession of some
whiskey at Waxhaw last night,
Thomas l.. Davis, former cotton
weigher, shot Charles Gamble in
the intestines, inflicting a wound
from which the victim may die.
Mr.. Gamble is barber at Wax.
haw and brother of James
Gamble, who was elected cotton
weigher at the last election.
Davis and James Gamble had q
very hot fight for the nomination,
and it took three primaries to
decide it. A great deal of bitter
ness between Davis and the
CANDLES has existed since, and it
is thought that the shooting yes
terday was really tho culmina-
ton of the contest over the nom.
ination. Davis was brought to
Monroe last night and confined
in the county Jail.
(Gamble was taken to the
Pryor hospital in Chester and he
was reported yesterday to be
hopelessly shot.)
