AS IN HIS CHILDHOOD DAYS.
Probably Many Years Since Bishop
Had Been SO Tenderly Cared For.

At an unusually large dinner-party,
where the guest Of honor was an Eng
lish bishop, the butler, an elderly
man, was obliged to bring in from a
friends house an inexperienced lad to
help him In the dinning-room. The
awkward helper annoyed the butler
beyond endurance with questions as to
his duties.
He continued interminably until the
butler. worn out and nervous, said ir-
IRONICALLY:
IAN you will need to do is to stand
behind the bishops chair, and when
ever his lordship puts down his glass
you must reach over and wipe his
mouth with a napkin"
That silenced his assistant. But the
young man actually took the order
seriously, and as soon as dinner be-
gan he stationed himself behind the
bishop, waited till his lordship had
drunk and put down his glass, and
then, as deliberately IS his nervous
ness would permit. he opened out a
large napkin and wiped the dlgnified
old gsntleman's mouthl-Ladies Home

That stamp" said the man. us a
delicate hint to be quick about answer

many men. It is very effective. A two

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, September IA.
If the statement of a travelling rep
resentative of big produce house in
New York and Boston is to be accept
ed, eggs in Arkansas and throughout
the South are going to be worth their
weight in coin this winter.
According to his statement, the egg
production of the country has been re-
duced so per cent by the rot, dry sea
son, and he says the cold storage men
will have about 80 per cent of the
average pack in store when the winter
season opens.
Southern eggs, especially, have been
a very short crop this year, according
to hts statement. Eggs produced in
the South during the hot weather Of
the present summer, unless they have
been produced under the most favor
able conditions, are what is gnown as
"blood rings" and not suitable fol-
keeping in cold storage.
Eggs sold at 40 cents per dozen a

look for them to go to SO and even g.
cents this winter, unless the fall pro
duction far exceeds the expectation O

SERIOUS WRECK
IN JACKSON YARDS
Special Newspaper Train Wa.
Wrecked Yesterday Morning and
Four Persons Were Injured.

JACKSON, Miss, September IA
Two coaches on the northbound H.
linois Central special newspaper train,
which arrived here at $50, were
wrecked yesterday morning in the 10
cal yard opposite the Edwards House
and almost turned somersaults.
This coach was occupied by negroes
four of whom were injured more OF
less seriously, but none fatally, &C
coAling to the opinion of DR.. H. H
Hughes, the company's surgeon. Three
or four others were slightly injured
All those hurt are from Terry, and
were witnesses coming here to attend
court. They are Percy Shepperd, Co
phus MCGOWAN, Ben Phillips and Cora
! Blocker. No white passengers were
injured.
The train was in charge of Conduc
tor P. Saal, and the wreck was caused
by the dropping of a cast iron pulley
| in one of the switch frogs in the
yard between the coaches by a negro
who tried to steal a short ride ane
who was afterward arrested BY ep1
cial Agent Currie. His name is Davit
Davis, and he is an employe OF the
Mississippi Foundry and Machine
Company whose plant is located
few blocks south of the depot. He hat
been given the casting with instruc
lions to hurry it to the express ant
get it off on the early train. Whel
the train pulled into the yards he saw
an opportunity to save time and ge
a short ride, and swung onto the
train on the front end of the colore'
coach. The casting, being too heav.
for his one free hand, fell between tn
cars and under a wheel in one of tn
switch frogs.
In trying to save the casting LA
Wis lost his hold and fell, barel'
missing what seemed an inevitabl
grinding up under the wheels. VIVA
prevented this was the fact that tn
wheel first struck the cast, thrown
the wheels above him and giving hir
opportunity to get out with only
flew bruises on his back and arm.
