fame teaching the three RS, when Il
rich relative died suddenly and left
her one million dollars. Like her
nameSake, Helen Gould, she resolved
ia devote herself and money to the
Call Of humanity. On Pine Hill she
has built a beautiful home ia which
all the little stray waits Of Grenada
are housed. In an annex all stray
dogs and cats find a hume. In a large
wooded lot not far away old worn out
horses spend their last days IN peace.
But this is not all FOR there is now in
course OF erection a beautiful building

and Miss Beard has kindly informed
all her classmates that If any Of them
should ind themselves without a home
in their old aye they will always fad
a welcome awaiting them on Pine
Hill.
Do SOU remember che SIN Ill boy
who was always ''f00lin" around there
trying to explain facts in the class
room. aud how Miss Annie had TO
resort to strenuous measures to
curb his resgleSSnesS. the outgrowth
Of his active mind? Today J. Z
BroadStreel is one OF the greatest in
~ventive geniuSes OF the age. His
greatest invention is a machine where

There was n pretty girl IN our
| class whom we supposed would become
a great society belle and marry some
. rich man, but instead Of ttat she be-
Ca me welded to art and today is
known as one of the greatest portrait
/ painters in the world Her first noted
portait was that OF President Taft.
By tho time she had transferred his
three hundred pounds %avolrdupoiS to
canvas, Miss Ethel Klmbrough's fame
vas assured. From the White House
she was called to paint the portrait of
the King Of England, then to Ger
, many TO paint the portrait OF the EN-
pcrur. Her must noted painting was
that of the Car of Russia and his
family. Her portraits have take gold
medal; ia nearly every country in the
world and we can't help feeling pulled
up to belong to the same class with
such a celebrity.
Holmes once wrote Of a member OF
his class: Fate tried to hide him
by naming him Smith," This was
true OF Edgar E. Smith, OF u own
class. In spite of fate and bis name
he is one of the most noted lawyers in
Mississippi. Being not only a lawyer
but a senator he has been instrument
tai in passing many laws for the ben
eft of the human race, and perhaps
the most noted is his Anti Bachelor
Law. In accordance with this law,
every man must marry before he is
twenty-five. II not married at twenty
five he must pay a 6ne OF $500 and
| the fine is doubled each year until be
does marry. II at the age of thirty
he is still unmarried, all the old maids
and widows are summoned to the
court house and he is auctiOned off
to the highest bidder, being compelled
| then and there to marry the woman
who has drawn him as a prize. 1t is
needless to say Mr.. Smith took good
pains to get married before this law
went into effect.
Another member Of u class also,
has attained notoriety through the
practice of law. He too, like his
friend, Mr. Smith, has served his
country in the capacity OF senator.
| When percy Duggins began the study
| Of law he found both the law and the
lawyers 4 mass Of corruption and he
! began the great work of reforming
them. His laws are known as the
Peoples Righteous Indignation Laws.
His first bill was made to regulate
ljuries. When = jury turns loose a
man whom the people know to be
guilty, then the people have the right
to give each juryman . hundred lashes
and such men can never serve on an-
other jury. The second act is known
as the Lawyers Coercion Bill. Ac-
csrding to it, when = lawyer defends
a man who is xnOwn to be a cold
| blooded murderer and clears such a
man, then the people are justified In
taking the lawyer out and hanging
him ia place Of the murderer. So
!pleased are the people with what he
