corresponding district attorney. from
the state-at-large, with jurisdiction in
any county in the state, to be subject
to the instructions of the governor
and whose duty it would be to hold
special terms of court in cases where
a delay until the regular court term
would be detrimental or dangerous,
has met with what seems to be uni
versal approval at the hands of the
state press and many favorable COM
ments from leading members of the
bar.
Thus far nobody has been found to
pick flaw in the idea and the con-
sstitutionality of such bill as he pro-
poses to introduce at the next legisla-

might have been prevented by such a

10 Ko, formerly cheap tailor was
condemned to death for flirting, but
was pardoned, and raised to the ex-

OF Tipipu, through whim of the en-
peror, the Mikado, in consequence of

were too proud to serve under an ex-

Poor Bah, to assume said numerous
offices and their salaries attached,

would not lose caste by so doing.
Because no execution had taken

its rank Of city
The city is celebrating the antlc
ipated event when Katisha appears
ON the scene, discovers her recreant
lover and attempts to explain, but all
are in sympathy with the arrangement
already made, and none will listen.
She takes her wrathful departure in
quest of the Mikado, which closes the
first act.
In the second act Yum Yum is
preparing for the wedding ceremony,
attended by the elite of the city,
when Ko Ko is so much affected that
he is inclined to back out from the
bargain made previously, and invents
the fiction of a law, THAT when a
married man is beheaded, his wife is
to be puried alive" This stops pro-
ceedings, as Yum Yum does not take
kindly to such a stuffy death, and the
wedding is called off
Just then it is announced that the
Mikado is approaching the city, and
Ko Ko reverts to the original agree
ment, and has them hurriedly mar
ried, and off on their wedding jour
ney, and makes affidavit, signed by
Pooh Bah, who holds about III Off
ces, that he has beheaded a man, but
the Mikado is looking for his son,
Nanki Poo, and Katisha's inquisitive
eye discovers that Nanki Poo is the
man said to be beheaded, and ac-
cording to the law. for encompassing
the death of the heir apparent, he and
his companions are sentenced to
death "by boiling oil and melted lead. >
This has the effect of producing Nan

unless Katisha is married, and thus

the material prosperity of the South
on solid foundations.
There is a New South" since Apo
mattox, but it is only new in the sense
that amazing progress has been made
in the development of its resources.
The Southern States have now white
population nearly twice as great as
they had in 1865. They have devel-
oped extraordinary industrial ectivity
and efficiency Agriculture is flourish
ing as never before because it has
been diversified. The cotton mills OF
the South have increased wonderfully
in number and production in the last
fifteen years. The iron and steel indus
try and coal mining have reached graf
flying proportions, and there is prom
Use of immense expansion in the flu
ture. Throughout the South small in
dustries are multiplying rapidly. The
South is, indeed. the land of oppor-
tunity." Already one of the most
prosperous sections of the country, its
possibilities of indutrial development
assure it a future of tremendous activ-
ity and constantly increasing
wealth and influence.
This is the South forty-four years
after AppomattoX. The men of the
Old Sou-h went to their homes after
the surrender and set to work in grim
earnest. They laid the foundations of
restoration firmly and deeply. Their
sons and grandsons have carried on
the work with intelligence energy and
efficiency. Today the South is the
most American part of this Union of
forty-siX states. There are 10 out
ward evidences of the havoc and ruin
wrought by four years of civil conflict.
The economic regeneration OF the
South is one of the most amazing
achievements of modern times. Aided
substantially as it has been by the
capital and business men of other sec
tions, the general result is, neverthe-
less and enduring monument to the in
vincible spirit and the infleXible de-
termination of the men who, many in
rags, surrendered forty-four years ago
at AppomattoX, accepted the results of
the war in good faith and, guided by
the wise counsels of their leader, Gen
eral Lee, buckled down to work on the
farms and in business and in the pro-
fessions in the spirit OF brave and true
men. Peace hath its victories no less
renowned than war. One of the fin
est pages in the history of the United
States is that which records the work
of Southern men and women after APP
pomattox.

The November Skies

The earth throws conical shadow
about 1000, 900 miles in length. When
the moon passes through that shadow
there is an eclipse. The next one will
be total eclipse on the morning OF
November 81. 1t will begin at al
o'clock and end at 5 80. The shadow
is about 8, 600 miles wide at the point
where the moon will enter it.
By the end OF this month Halley's
comet should be visible without tele-
scopic aid. 1t has been observed and
identified for five hundred years, and
from imperfect records it is believed
that it was a regular visitor many CEN
turtles before that. Some writer's have
identified it as the Star OF Bethlehem,
though there is no warrant for this
beyond guess work. 1t will be the
most prominent thing i'll the sky next
spring and summer.
There is some iIregularity about the
dates on which Halley's comet returns
to the sun, and it liz believed this is
due to the influence of big planet
belonging to our constellation, but
not yet discovered. Its orbit lies be-
You'd that of Neptune. and the un-
known planet must he over 3, 200, 900,
900 miles from the sun.

Like prudent banker or mer-
chant, nature always keeps for each
human being reserve fund of
strength, which is seldom drawn
upon except in case of sickness or ex-
ceptional effort, says n physician. In.
deed there are times when tired
feeling is imply due to indifferent
health or the "blues" and could be
thrown aside by the effort of the will.
A good deal that passes for the results
of overwork is simply due to worry.
In the case OF person of good health.
nature will submit to very great
draught on the vital powers before
giving her warning signals of distress.
1t isa remarkable fact that when a
brain worker has passed the ordinary
bounds aud is drawing on the reserve
force, he finds himself working with
unusual ease aud quickness. and this is
dangerous sign indeed. II the work
is persisted in it means the break down
of the machinery. This applies. al
though to less degree. to physical
workers also. Both should beware
when after long spell of exhausting
labor, this deceptive sense OF ease and
freshness makes its appearance.

When it comes to patriotism in pub

an organization to study out its needs

would lead to the mutual benefit Of its
citizens and community prosperity
There are a number of matters that
