Surrounded by a library of several
thousand volumes, chiefly works on
political and economic subjects, the
erstwhile minority leader has appar.
emily lost consciousness that the
world is revolving beyond the four
walls Of his library. According to
advices from his plantation near Ben.
ton. he rarely ventures beyond the
doors Of the plantation home. At
rare interals he journeys to Yazoo
City to look after personal business
matters, but he has not paid a visit
to the State capital since last May,
and all efforts to induce him to ap-
pear at public gatherings, sign lee
ture contracts, or take part in other
events that would bring him before
the public, have resulted in fail.

given much study for the past twenty
years, and it is understood that he

SHE KNOWS ENOUGH.

She does not know who Caesar was,
Nor when Columbus sailed the seas;
She may, for all she says and does,
Think Botticelli is a cheese!
Now, gentle reader, don't commence
To say you think it is pity
To live in ignorance so dense
You see, she's pretty.
She will not wrinkle up her brow
To call to mind verse of Keats
Ask her if Shakespeare writing now
She'll say she likes the parquet
seats;
OF current topics she may speak
And show misinformation simple
But in the rose-pink of her cheek
There is dimple.
She'll tell you Socialism's cute
Because a friend who's rather plain
Is lecturing from here to Butte
And has so many in her train;
She cannot tell you what is meant
BY the philosophy of Ibsen,
But hers is beauty that is blent-
A Fisher-Gibson.
OF differential calculus
She may discourse in language clear
Until at last it comes to US
She means some automobile gear;
The fact that Raphael is dead
Leads not to talk on pictures old
Her lips are cherry-ripely-red,
Her hair is golden.
SO, what is history to her?
What are reformers and their ilk?
She has the latest word on fur
And wears the newest shades in
silk.
Sigh not that she must live alone,
For her unlearnedness quench your
pity;
She knows all that needs to be
known
You see, she's pretty!

Home.

"Let home stand before all other
things. No matter how high your am
bition NAV transcend its duties, no
matter how far your talents or your
influence may reach beyond its doors
before everything else bulld a true
home. Be rot its slave: be its master.
Let it not be enough that it is swept
and garnished, that its silver is bril-
liant, that its food is delicious, but
feed the love in it, feed thought and
aspiration, feed all charity and gentle
ness in it. Then from it's walls will
come forth the true woman and
the true man, who shall rule and bless
the land" Is this an oJerwrOught pic
ture? We think not. What honor can
be greater than to found such a home?
What dignity higher than to reign lis
undisputed mistress? What is the abil-
ity TO speak from a public platform to
large, intelligent audiences, or the
wisdom hat may command a seat on
the judges bench, compared to that
which can insure and preside over a
true home, that husband and children
rise and call her blesSed?" TO be
the guiding star, the ruling spirit in
such a position is higher honor than
to rule an empire.

PICKING Out Others Faults.

What is the good of of spying holes
in people S coats when we can't memo
them? Talk of my debts If you mean
to pay them; if not. keep your RED rag
behind your ivory ridge. A frlenf's
faults should not be advertised, and
even a strangers should not be pub
lished. He who makes a fool Of another
is a fool himself. Don't get into the
habit of laughing at other people, Tor
the old saying is 'Hanging's stretch
ing, and mocking's catching. Testing
is too apt to turn into jeering, and
what was meant to tickle makes a
wound. 1t is a pity when mirth is an
other mans misery. Before a man
cracks a Joke he should nsider how
he would like it himself: for many
who give rough blows have very thin
skins. Give only what you would be
willing to take: some men throw salt
on Others, but they smart if a pinch
of it falls on their own raw places.
When they get a Roland for their Ol-
liver, or a tit FOR a tat, they don't like
it, yet nothing is more just. B!ters de-

No Time for Friendship.

In this busy, busy life, how few of
US find time, 70 cultivate friendship.
The cares OF u families, our bust
ness, our profession; the struggle to
keep up with the times, up with our
neighbors, up with our competitors;
the worry and work and anxiety OF it
all demand every moment of our
time, and leave Us o for our
friends. Why, some of US hardly
know our own families. We are up
and away in the morning before they
are quite awake; we have no time to
return at noon, and the evening meal
finds us so weary and exhausted we
scarcely can notice anyone, or have
inclination to say anything, as We
hurry through in silence and then
drag ourselves of to our Office or
store to finish up the odds and ends
which the close Of our busy day has
found undone, and which we cannot
leave over another. And thus a life
is spent; its cares and perplexities
keenly felt, and its sweets but sell
dom met and rarely enjoyed; and the
question arises, is this all OF life?
Are we making the best of it?

ought to love best the sweetest con

with renewed energy to strive for
the merited reward OF kind apprc-

happiness come to pcevade the whole
house, born into nurtured into beau
