INFLUENCE OF ALL OUTDOORS.

At this season of the year the city dweller's
fancy often turns to thoughts of how delightful it
would be to live farm in the country; to raise
vegetables for ones own table, and have fresh
milk and butter from ones own cattle; to range
ones own wide acres and drink in the invigoratng
air like water to escape the strident turmoil and
tumult of crowded thoroughfares and be at one
with the sweet and quiet influence of all outdoors
God made the country and man made the town."
The world was begun in a garden, and agriculture
was mans earliest employment; 1.-The groves were
Gods first temples, and from those dim asles
the first falterng prayers of humanity went star
ward. Strange it is, indeed, that man should
prefer to throw foul rookeries and tenements
athwart a smoky sky, in place of the noble archi-
lecture of the trees that hold their multitudinous
hands to the sunlight and the rain and equally in
that brick andI stone should come
to be loved better than the green and spring turf
bestarred with flowers. Philadelphia Ledger

WANTS LESS SCANDAL.

L wish it we've possible for the press dispatch
es to include less of the big scandals in the East
ern section of this country" said prominent citi-
zen last evening, man who has held some of the
highest offices in Alabama. Il don't think the
people of the South are so much interested in the
Hanes trial as to demand columns of the stuff
Then some time back those accounts of the Thaw
case made me rather weary. Other scandals are
given to the people throughout the country in
length. | am glad that there was not so much
printed about that terrible affair in Oklahoma
where four men were lynched. l suppose that we
will continue reading of the scandal though in the
East as long as the demand for that kind of read
ing keeps up, but do wish that it would cease

The resolutions introduced by Mrs. Charles
Thompson at the State Federation of Clubs which
met at Brookhaven last week to place a bust of
Mrs Annie G. Peyton in the Hall of Fame meets
with the hearty approval of every loyal Mississp-
plan who wants to place honor where honor is due
The realization of the Industrial Institute and Gel
fege is due to her interchangeable effort. She irea-
lied what it meant for the immortal future of our
own flesh and blood to be provided with industrial
as wen literary training and it through her
energy and zeal that this institution stands as
monument to Mississippi, and a blessing to the
womanhood. It is but right that some indication
of appreciation of her invaluable service to the
State be shown Let the bust or picture of her be
placed in the Hall of Fame, and more, there
should lee a monument erected by the State on the
college campus, as an everlasting indication of its
Acknowledgement of her service in the uplift of
womankind. Truly it can be said her life was not
lived in vain. She carried out the idea she often
expressed, That it is not much to die, but what
responsibility to livel" Her picture lives in the
hearts and brains of those who knew her well.

I'm addition to the many improvements which
Mr. Whitfield has instituted at the l. l. and c. we
understand that he is on the point of raising the
standard beralizing the curriculum. Our college
of which we are so justly proud will then rank
with the first colleges in the country and receive
recognition as such. Why should we not offer to
the girls of Mississippi the best educational adj
vantages to be obtained anywhere? The State has
been liberal along all lines, and surely the time
seems ripe for this innovation, We feel confident
that in taking this step the president does not in
tend to exclude those girls who either through lack
of means or opportunity have not the necessary
preparation The original purpose of the college
was to train these girls and broaden their lives
well as to give the higher education to the more
fortunate sisters No doubt with this new step for
ward the college will carry cut more than ever
before the purpose of its founders.

VALET TELLS OF MEREDITH
EoVelist's Only Luxuries, He Says. Were Good Wine and Cigars
 Interesting Sidelights.

London.-Interesting sidelights are thrown on the late George Meredith's mode of working in an interview with Frank Cole, the novelists favorite valet, published in the London Press.
 Sometimes in the early days of my 30 years service at Boxhiu," says Cole, my master worked all day, but on other days he did little or nothing. He never seemed to care about his own comfort and slept all the year round in the little chalet in his gar den.
 His only luxuries were good wine and cigars. He was a splendid judge of both and was delighted at the oc- casional acquisition of an extra-pre- cious vintage. He was keenly inter ested in politics and shortly before his death said that the suffragettes had ruined. their cause by their vio- lent methods"
 Cole was Meredith's handy man and accompanied the novelist on his daily walks, later conducting his bath chair and donkey chaise and chatting with him freely. Though he has sold a handful of manuscripts to J. Pierpont Morgan for $4,000, he possesses the dining table, set of novels and other relics of his master.

Chicago.-The popularity of the bull fight has decreased in Mexico to such an extent that it has. been replaced in the favor of the better classes by grand opera and drama, according to Senor Balbino Davalos, Mexico's cnarge d'affaires at Washington, who came to Chicago to address the Asso- citation oe Commerce at the annual hanquet.
 TO foreign capital,,' ns remarked, Eve owe much of our recert adt Aace- ment, and also to the great peace which has reigned over the land for so many years. The bullfghts are slowly dying out and today only the people of the lower classes attend them to any extent WhetheP they will ever cease completely is hard to say, but they are no longer the most important entertainment of the people of Mexico. We now have high-class opera and drama, made possible through the efforts of the govern ment, which helps to get foreign companies to bring their best opera and drama to the theater in the City of Mexico.
