For the Baby.


The baby has certainly come into 10
own these days. There are stork par
ties galore. and in most OF the stores
there II a department Just for baby
gifts. These dainty presents are al
ways more acceptable when accom-.
panied by an appropriate sentiment

lettered with water-color decorations.

In one OF his altogether too infre
quent poems Charles Dickens says OF
children whom he dearly loved:
They are idols % hearts and Of house

They are angels % God IN disguise:
His sunlight suli sleeps In their trcsses.
Ills glory suli CLEANS In their eyes.

Dongfellow wrote from the heart
when he penned the precious verses
entitled "Children." and a gift with q
quotation from Il that all mothers
should know would enhance the value
tenfold:
Ye are better than an the ballads
That ever were sung or said.
For " are nving poems
And all the rest are dead.
A dear mother full Of sentiment
had this beautiful excerpt taken from
one Of William Cullen Bryants poems
painted In water colors and hung IN
the children's nursery:
Meath the shadow Of Thy wing

Waking sleeping. Lord. We pray.

Return Home From the Navy.

Mr. Henry Widmer, the manly
young son of Our townspeople, Mr.
and Mrs. Henry Widmer, in Carroll
avenue, returned home Monday, after
IN absence of two years, which time
vas spent III the United States
Navy. And there is much joy in
he home where the absence of All
only son has been felt SO long
line. Young Widmer entered the
services of the navy department on
Nay 9Th, 1907. Leaving New Orleans
le was sent to Newport News, Va,
where nine months was spent in the
raining school at that point. From
here he was sent to Rhode Island,
where he was assigned On board the
pig battleship "Washington," a yes
sci with a crew of over nine hun
lred men, This vessel was in Ham
ION Roads with the fleet that made
the tour of the world, but the Wash
ington did not accompany the ships
On their tour of the globe but sailed
down the Atlantic and stopped from
time to time, touching the different
countries OF South America, until the
Straits were reached and when the
course was continued up the Pacific,
reaching San Francisco in time to
participate in the ovation rendered
the Atlantic fleet on the occasion OF
the continuation of the cruise around
the world. From here the Washing
ton continued her trip northward and
was rendered a special ovation when
size reached Seattle, in the State OF
ner namesake. Subsequent travel
brought young Widmer to the Ha-
Waiian Islands and the Samoan Isl
ands. where much of the time was
spent. Our young friend saw a great
deal of this far-aWay country and
has much to say that is OF the un-
usual and Of interest concerning the
distant American possessions. a
visit and stay at the Philippine ISL
ands was also included in the Wash
ington's itinerary. Among the mum
ber of souvenirs brought home is
cloth wove from the cocoanut fibre,
made by the natives of the Samoan
| Islands, and while the texture is
| crude. the piece is beautiful to be-
noId. Young Widmer came home Oil
rect from San Francisco, Cal, where
the vessel is at anchor. He is home
to stay, called some time back by
serious illness of his father, who Is
now better Young Widmer says ne
| is glad to be back in Bay st. Louis
again; to be home and with the
people of his town and when he
says this he voices the feeling ane
sentiment of those who live here ant
know him for they too, are glad tc
have him back He will engage il
his fathers business and in shor
time assist in its management. HI

MISSISSIPPI IN CONGRESS.

Mississippi has a proud record in
the forum Of the nation, Beginning
with days ante bellum when Prentiss
shed meteoric splendor over her fair
fame she has not been without noble
names even to this day. The great
triumvirate, Lamar, George and Wal
thall, acquired imperishable glory
and fame which cannot fade away.
And now comes John Sharp Williams
who we feel sure will carry the ban
ner of Mississippi again to the proud
position 1t has been accustomed to
occupy We feel impatient for the
hour when he shall arise in the
American senate and take up the
sage of the proud and naughty Lodge
the product of a centuryof New Eng
land culture, accustomed to lord it
over his associates. Thereafter. we
dare to believe, he will consult his
prudence when tempted to play the
role Of an over-lord among the free
representatives of proud sovereign
ties. Could we do better than to
send our fellow townsman, Leroy
Percy, to keep Mr. Williams COM
pany? There seems small prospect
OF doing half so we'll
Mississippi has many sons now in
the senate: Laliey, Of Texas, who
displays an easy supremacy over his
fellows in the debate now is progress
on the tariff How sad it is that his
Influence should have been impaired
by inconsistent conduct. NeWlands,
of Nevada, appears to be d man of
great mental vigor and alertness
Gore, the blind senator from Okla
homa. is a living example of the
possibilities Of man under the great
est of limitations. Clarke, of Arkan-
sas, McLaurin and Money are well
and favorably known to all.
Mississippi's present representa-
tives in the house are men of re-
spectacle abilities. Mr.. Bowers and
Mr.. Humphreys being men Of con-
spicuous merit and attainments. Mr..
Humphreys in particular has shown
himself to be a most capable and eff
cient member We doubt not that
he will go far.
We are unable to restrain feel
ing of regret at the absence OF Shed
Hill from our delegation from Con-
gress. We regard him as being one
of the most capable men in the state,
and shall hope to be permitted TO
welcome his re-entry into the pollti-
cal life our our people.-GreenVllle

DEATH OF BISHOP GALLOWAY

The death of this universally be
loved churchman Of Mississippi oc.
CURED at the family home at Jackson
at an early hour Wednesday, and al
though the news was expected, the
people OF the State and the entire
Southland received the announcement
OF his demise as a shock and one of
distinct sorrow No man in Missis-
s1ppl was more universally known
and beloved wherever he went than
Bishop Galloway. AS a minister of
God, orator, author and editor he
was known not only at home but
over the country and in the English
speaking parts of Europe as we'll,
where he visited and addressed the
public on great occasions. In the
death of Bishop Galloway the Meth
odlst church has lost one of its
grandest sons, hardest and most eff
fectual workers, and the cause of
prohibition it's most ardent and sue
ceSsful champions His earnest and
beautiful plea for prohibition had
been heard time and again before the
State Legislatures of the country,
and no man had a more intimate &C.
qaaintance and relationship with the
statesmen and other representative
men Of the country than he An cru
dite scholar, deep thinker, and one
with a mind of originality and a
worker for all that he thought and
knew was right, his place will indeed
be hard TO fill. Both the Methodist
church and the State of Mississippi
have lost an eminent divine and
prominent citizen.

Which Would You Rather Be.

A we'll known and prominent Dus-
mess man OF Bay ST Louis handed
The Echo the following clipping one
day this week as being very good
and it is;
From the Rapid River Rustler:
If the Editor makes a mistake peo-
pie say he ought to be hung; but II
a Doctor makes any mistakes ne
buries them and folks dassent say
nothing, because doctors can read
and write Latin.
When the Editor makes mistake
there is a lawsuit and swearing and
a big fuss; but If the Doctor makes
one there is a funeral, cut flowers
an perfect silence.
A Doctor can use a WORD mile
long without him or ANYBODY eise
knowing what it means; but II the
Editor uses one he has to spell It
If the Doctor goes to see another
mans wife he charges for the Vslt'
but if the Editor goes he gets
charge of buckshot.
Any old college can make Doc
| tor, and Editor has to be born.
