A TRUE DIPLOMAT.

A photographer 10 Plttsburg was
having bis troubles with a child of
eight years whom lie mother had
brought to the studio for q series OF
photos, says Harper's.
The picture man struggled with The
younaster, who wriggled and
squirmed and generally made hia lie
miserable for upwards Of % hour,
trying TO secure the poses desired BY
the dotInR parent.
Finally happy thought struck the
photographer. may l suggest,
madam" said be, that you leave me
alone with this charming little Girl
for few minutesP think that, with
= little quiet persuasion, ! may b
able to calm her nervousness. =
The mother assented. and when
she returned the photographer %.
n0unced that he was sure OF several
fine negatives.
Dolly" asked the mother, when
they were out Of the studio, what
did that nice man, the phot0grapher
say to you when you were alone, that
he was able to get t he picture?n
HE said," answered Dolly, with !
quivering lip, III you don't 81 still,
you miserable little worm-you
doueh-faced little monkey-you, you
II don't know what-I'll shake you

JOHNNY'S LAST SPEECH.

You'd scarcely expect one OF my age
In merchandising to engage and nope
TO get paying trade without the
local papers aid And yet / did that
very thing; | opened up u store last
spring-this month the sheriff took
the stock and sold It at the auction
block. Don't view me with scorn-
ful eye, but simply say as pass by
"Fhere goes fool who seemed to
think he had no use for printers ink. u
There is truth as broad AS earth and
business men should know It's worth;
tits simply this: The public buys its
goods from those who advertise.

TOO BossY.

That there Is startling difference
between the temper Of the rising
generation and that OF the youth
whose young ideas shot up according
to the teachings OF Miss Hannah
More has recently been proved by a
little seven year old girl, who was
laboriously spelling her way through
a READING lesson.
ALWAYS speak the truth" she
said, land obey your parents"
BE gen tie and quiet. Never
slam the door and shout and scream
about the house."
AT the table eat slowly; not in a
greedy manner like pig"
Suddenly the little girl shut the
book with portentious bang and
announced with tirmness and decis.
lon: I'm not going to let any old
third reader boss meslike that"

WHERE WOMEN PROPOSE.


Away of 10 the strange island Of
| New Gulnea IL is leap year all the time
In one important sense, for out there
all the proposals OF marriage are made
by the women. 1t Is considered
beneath the dignity OF the male To-
habitants Of New GuIna to even
notice woman, and consequently the
women perforce must notice the meu
and must start any idea Ut weddings
etc.
So when the island belle OF New
Guinea becomes ia love she promptly
sends piece of string to the sister oil
the lucky man. Ii he has no sister
she sends 1t to his mother, or anyhow
to some female relative. This, because
the man and his male relatives are
assumed to be above taking any steps
toward acquiring a wife.
Then the sister says to the man
involved. Brother. have news;
so-and.so is Ia love with you" II
Inclined to matrimony, the man
makes an engagement to meet the
enamored lady. When they meet Ii
is alone, and they either decide to
wed or drop the entire proposition at
once. There is no counting, for the
man Is not allowed, theoretically ut
least TO waste any time on woman
not even enough time TO make love 10
the lady or tc allow her to make love
TO him.
The betrothal Is announced and the
engaged man in New Guinea Is
branded on the back with charcoal.
but tho w0man's mark OF engagement
to wed is actually cut into her skin
and 10 never allowed to completely
vanish. II either one decides to
break the engagement nothing can be
done by the offended party,
II the girl decides that after all she
sent the little piece OF string BY
mistake the man Is apt, however, to
catch her sometime alone and beat
her. II the man Tits the woman her
relatives OTTER hunt him up aud I'd.
minister a sound drubbinR. Blood,
however. IL seldom shed, as the
breaking Of these woman.made
engagements IL not deemed q very
serious matter.
Though the women propose the
weddings Ia New Guinea the condition
OF the wife 10 miserable and unjust 10
the extreme. The girl is merely the
property and slave Of the husband.
He can beat her unrebuked and even
Kill her with impunity II she incur
bile enmity.

When the Mississippi farmer can
raise a pig which at the age Of II
months tips the beam at 71s pounds
as did one in Tippah county a few
days since, II is about time for the
trustees OF the Mississippi penitcntary
to come to the conclusion that
they are foolish TO spend thousands Of
dollars per year buying meat from
the West. The same is true OF mules.
The trustees are now OF ON jaunt
TO ST Louis to buy about seventy.
five mules, Tor which they will pay an
average OF 800, when they could have
raised Just as good mules ut home for
$50. We folks down here In old Mis-.
sissippi never did have the confidence
In ourselves and In our soil and
climate that we should have. Keep
up the county and state fairs, colt
show and other exhibitions OF farm
products and every official In the
State is made to appreciate the
greatness OF his own country.

Eat What
You want of the food you need
Kodol will digest it.

You need . sufficient amount Of
good wholesome food and more than
this you need TO fully digest 1t.
Else you can't gain strength, nor
can you strengthen your stomach II
1t Is weak.
You must eat In order to live and
maintain strength.
You must not diet, because the
body requires that you eat q sufiic-
lent amount Of food regularly.
But this food must be digested,
and It must he digested thoroughly.
When the stomach can't do It,
you must take something that will
help the stomach.
The proper way to do Is to eat
what you want, and let Kodol d.
gest the food.
Nothing else can do this. When
the stomach Is weak It needs help;
you must help It by giving It rest,
and Kodol will do that.

SLEEP A CURE
FOR NERVOUSNESS

A physician who makes a study of
women's nerves and their quality of
endurance asserts that little intel
ligence on their part would help
immensely in going through life.
The reason he says, that women
get exhausted after any endurance
test is that they do not know how to
balance work and rest.
Sleep in proper proportions is OF
the utmost Importance.
It should be taken In moderate
doses when one has just gone
through tedious time or expects to
face one.
The seven-hour rule of custom
should be utterly abolished.
There should not be one rule for
everyone concerning sleep.
Each individual should he her own

CORD FOR SHADES

The life Of window shade Is per-
ceptibly heightened by adding the
ring and curtain cord.
Then, when the shade is moved up
and down, one takes hold of the cord
rather than the curtain itself.
This not only saves tell-tale
marks on the material, but there is
no danger from tearing.
