The correspondent who were wont
to listen at the cracks will sit around
the White House steps engaged at
playing jacks. The president will ride
upon his bucking rocky horse. the
gun men will turn up their toes and
perish of remorse, the tariff argument
will drone its weary way along, the
strong will battle with the weak. and
right will wrestle wrong, the vested
interests will howl, the planter will
protest, the miner will exhort the law
to succor the oppressed. the women
will combat the tax upon a Paris hat,
and about the time we settle it we
won't know where we are at.
Until the goth, May will be under
the zodiacal sign Of Taurus the Bull
Mr.. Roosevelt will by this time have
reached the Albertine Basin, and the
influence of Taurus will cause him to
do gooda deal of roaring. The Lions
and other fairly good roarers will
compete with him a while, but after
they have heard aim roar two or
three times they will bust up good
deal of brush getting on the other
side Of the Congo.
People born under Haurus have
very intricate minds, and they under
stand the tariff debate. They are un-$
erring in love, and generally marry
their afinities at tae outset. There
is natural attraction between per.
sons born under opposite signs ofithe
zodiac, and a Taurus man usually
marries Scorplo woman, or that is,
being born In May, he marries a
woman born in October. This is said
to be a natural match, or one in
which the chance of divorce is:re-
duced to the minimum. s

The young Turks are now in COM
petite control at Constantinople.
With the troops in complete con-
troll of the capitol they have deposed
Abdul Hamid and installed his BROTH
er Mehemmed as Sultan.
That he will be but a figure head
for the young Turks might be infer
red from his character and fnexperi-
ence-the first thirty years of his
life having been spent in absolute
seclusion. Tais inference is strength
ened By the incidents related in cable
dispatches from Constantinople.
After going through the ceremony
of accession he was brought back to
Dolma Heghehe Palace, which has
long been his dwelling. Meanwhile
his friend, Prince Sabeh ad Din,
whose influence over the new sultan
was feared, was placed under arrest.
One of the cable dispatches states
that public opinion completely disap-
proves the Imprisonment Of the
prince, who is considered a loyal pa
triot and faitful to the constitution.
The charge on which Abdul Hamid
has been deposed are lack of political
knowledge, excessive personal ex-
penditures and that his continuance
on the throne would lead to unhappy
consequences. In view Of the ex-sul-
tan's long reign and the skill with
which he has often baffled European
diplomacy the charge that he lacks
political knowledge is amusing and
the more SO in view Of the fact that
the man by waom he is succeeded has
reached his sfxty-dfth year without
any experience in public affairs. The
other two charges seem to- be as
meaningless as the first.

A wounded lion, badly hit
And followed by a crowd, to-wit:
One ex-president,
Four crackers,
Two gun bearers,
Three photographers,
Two stenographers,
One taxidermist,
Two SINNERS,
One ammunition wagon,
And 400 bushbeaters.
At length the lion reached ais lair,
Backed into it in deep despair,
And vowed so long as life was his
To fight, though sorely wounded, viz:
One leg shattered,
Two knife slashed on back,
Four ribs kicked In.
One dum-dum bullet in head,
Two steel-nosed bullets in body,
One ear blown OF.
And bitten through the windpipe.
The shouting and the tumult grew.
The angry bullets spat and flew.
And when the king of beasts was not
The following fireworks were shot:
Six skyrockets,
Two howerpots.
One spinwheel,
Four Roman candles.
Three Booker Washington chasers,
Two medium-sized bombs,
And one son-of-a-gun.

Jackson, Dec about the most
singular thing that has happened re.

The Yazoo statesman has literally
crawled into hole and pulled the
hole in after him, and it is doubtful
whether there is man in America
today, not even excluding John d.

access.

expiration of his term in Congress
that Mr.. Williams intended to retil y

intended to become recluse, but

Mr.. Williams, his former private Sec
rotary, Mr.. Robert Bowman, Jr., who
is now secretary to Congressman
Champ Clark, and who recently paid
his former chief visit at the plan
tation home, tells an amusing story.
The Williams plantation has been
converted into model live stock
farm, and Mr.. Bowman found that the
owner had built magnificent dairy,
thoroughly modern in all of its ap-
pointments, but he had quite forgot
ten to buy any cows. There was not
bovine on the place, and when gent
ly reminded that it is customary to
have cows in dairy, in order to
