 Walter W. Sherer, i'll a comics sion made Tuesday evening be- fore District Attorney Geary and Judge Waite, cleared up the mys tery surrounging the disappear ance of $9OO from the Gillard Drug Store on the night of Nov ember 19.
 The facts as stated by Sherer are as follows:
 After leaving the store in the company of the proprietor, Mir. A. E. Gillard, and walking with him as far as the Navajo Bank corner, where they seperated, Shearer, before going home, re- turned to the store and taking the cash contents of the slot ma chine, cash drawer, and other recepticles where various sums had been hidden, placed them in in a paper bag. His next move was to secret the well filled sack under the show case in the front part of the store, anticipating that the loss, when discovered, would be attributed to buglars as it was on the previous occas- ion when $50 was taken. To stengthen that suspicion he mu- tilated the slot machine and re- moved from the rear window a large piece of card boad that had been tackled on a panel to replace broken pane of glass.
 Feeling assured that he had ta- ken all necessary precautions to divert suspicion from himself he locked the store for the second time that night, leaving behind him in safe hiding place the booty he expected to remove at a more opportune time. His prompt discharge by his employer the next morning after an investiga- ton made it appearent that a theft and not a bugalry had been committed, followed immediately by his arrest on suspicion, frus- trated the execution of his plans, At his preliminary hearing, held Nov. 27 before Justice Waite Sherer, through counsel, entered a plea of not guilty. A strong effort was made by the defense to establish an a1ibi, a number of witnesses testifying that h' did not leave the house aftel coming home at 9:3O, p. m. After hearing the evidence presented by both sides the Justice announced he would take the case unde a 1visement and render decision llter. Bail was fixed at $500 whichwas furnished by the ao cused himself, and his temporar release from custody was ordered
 Tuesday, last, when court wa again convened, the attorneys i the case were asked if they ha anything to present before juds ment was rendered. J. E.. Jones counsel for the defense, state that in cases in which the ev dence was purely circumstanti; there was always a danger ( subjecting the accused to gray hardships; that i'll the preser case the evidence was wholly il

About two or three times a year a
report gains currency to the effect that
the Illinois Central Railroad is about to
take oyer the Gulf 6 Ship Island, and
just that often is the report vigorously
denied.
One thing may be put down as set
tied fact: Neither the Illinois Central
nor any other railroad company will
ever secure the Gulf G Ship Island while
Capt. ]. T. Jones, who virtually owns it,
lives. More than this, his son, Mr.. ] .
A. Jones, who is yice-president of the
road, is, if anything, more strongly op-
posed to selling the road than his father.
In recent interview, Mr.. J. A. Jones
declared that "The Gulf C Ship Island
will remain the property of its present
owners and under it's present manage
ment permanently in spite of any ru-
mors to the contrary which may be
heard".
Mr.. Jones further stated that his
father, WHO is in New York taking a
rest, was rapidly recovering his health
and would return to the Gulf in the
early fall.
Mr.. j. A. Jones expressed great con-
fidence in the future of South Missis-
sippi. He believes that the future de-
velopment of the country will make it
great section, and he takes a most
cheerful and optimistic view of the gen.
eral situation.

the oest-paying property in the entire

considerable money has been spent in
improvement. The loop lice from Men
denhall to Make, via Silver Creek, Co.

nleted and better rolling stock has been
added.
Capt. Jones has invested great deal
OF money in South Mississippi, and the
fact that he is determined to hold on to
his property, Notwithstanding the fancy
prices offered by the Illinois Central.
shows that he has unlimited confidence
in the future of South Mississippi-a
great section of the State that is vet
largely undeveloped.
If "money talks, then Capt. Jones'
dollars for South Mississippi make the
prospects of that section bright. not

THE RLERIOT CHANNEL FLIGHT.

The success of Louis Bleriot in cross
ing the English Channel in his mono
plane is the most dramatic achievement
of modern aviation. 1t may not have
added much to expert knowledge of the
means of flying, but it makes power
full appeal to the popular imagination
wherever newspapers are read and his
tory is remembered.
The silver streak that parts England
from France has made much history.
Not to go further, it has kept modern
England what it is by acting as the
most "scientific boundary" any nation
has except Japan. Napoleon gathered
his walnut shell barges in the French
Channel ports to invade England, but
the hour never came. Ii he had not
turned away Robert Fulton with his pro-
iect of using steam in navigation, things
might have gone differently. Since Ma
poleon no one has thought Of invading
England.
1t is the Channel that has made Bri-
tain the chief naval power, the only
power whose fleet is more important than
her army. The Channel is the sensitive
nerve in British geography. The mere
suggestion of tunnel to France has
always sent John Bull into Mysteries
and made him dream of armies burrow-
ing like the moles through the Dover
cliffs. And now one Frenchman has
crossed the great barrier without a boat,
toll or ticket, not in balloon that drifts
at chance but in an aircraft that minds
her helm.
True, France is just now an ally OF
Britain; but Zeppelin, within the range
of flight of his airship, could easily pass
over France and the Channel too. from

son of Mr.. Davis; and Robina, named

Webb is specialist and has more than
a national reputation.
Mrs. Hayes impressed her vivid per-
sonality upon all who were so fortunate
as to know her. She was brilliant in
conversation, gracious in manners, and
| of SO intense a magnetism that even
without her great beauty she would
have been observed in any assemblage.
In person she was tall and built upon
grand lines. Her face was almost pure
Greek in outline, with large, dark vel
vet eyes that could flash and sparkle in
conversation, soften to winning tender
ness to child, or brim over with tears
at some tale of suffering; for she had
the brain of statesman united to the
tender heart of child. Her complexion
was the creamy richness of a magnolia
petal, and was framed in masses of dark !
hair that her ffty-four years never
touched with silver.
Mrs. Hayes had never been strong
since her mother died-nothing organic, |
nothing the wisest doctors could grap- |
pie; but within the last six months the |
want of vitality crystallized into gen
eral implication OF the functions. Like
a flower fading, she gradually wasted
awav. Her room was floral bower
with love tokens from many friends sent
day by day, and everything in the power
of humanity to aid or comfort was at
her bedside. Her sufferings were past
words to express, but even her nurses
never heard groan nor murmur. Her
husband and all her children were
around her, and her little grandchildren
made her room their play place. To
phem "Mammle'', as they called her,
was only another and more delightful
child, one to be amused with blocks and
to be interested in their pet puppy and
kitties. They brought to her bed the
wild flowers they gathered, the flowers
that faded from their little hot hands
as the human flower was fading from
the fever heat of disease,

Cn it's technical side M. Bleriot's feat
is considerable one. His aeroplane is
of the smallest type and one of the
cheapest. Any man in moderate cir
cumstances may possess its mate if he
will, while the cost of Zeppelin air

of the channel are as unceasiag and in
calculable as its tidal currents, and
strength or skill is needed to fight or
dodge them. Still, Bleriot's feat does
not merely lie in having flown over a
perilous course of twenty-odd miles in
small machine but in having crossed
the blue boundary which divides the

of merchantable yellow pine logs were raised. These the mills purchased for from 90 to 75 cents a thousand feet IL was found that although water soaked a grade of serviceable common lumber could be manufactured from these logs and readily sold at from g to S4 a thousand.
 Tt having thus been demonstrated that a great fortune in logs was lying at the bottom of the Sabine river. a reconnaissance of the river for 100 miles above Orange was made to de
 termine what it's possible extent was The report from it was that not less than 25.000.00O feet of yellow pine logs lay on the river bottom in every hun dred miles of that distance-at least 100. coo. 900 feet of commercial lumber. worth on an average $3 a thousand at the mill. lying accessible to the dredge and capable of being raised easily and at small cost
 Mining for this 400 miles of logs therefore is now a profitable industry on the Sabine river. Similar log mining has been in progress on the Neches river. which threads the great cypress and long leaf pine region of Hardin and other wilderness Texas counties and empties into Sabine Lake In one year nearly $1O0OOO worth of logs were raised by individual log miners from the bed of the Neches river"

VANISHING TRAMPS.

According to police reports, the tramps are themselves solving the tramp problem this summer. They are ceasinG tO exist.
 This does not mean that untimely death is ovcrtakng the unkempt gen tlemen of leisure or that they are gen erally taking to habits of industry. They have merely felt the call of the green fields and shady forests They have no keen desire to swelter in the hot cities and. as their time is wholly their own. they fare forth on joyous vacations Freight trains there al- ways are. and train crews can be eluded or caioled. So that. so far as the city is concerned, the tramp has ceased to exist
 The farmers wife knows the sum mer tramp She almost never sees him in winter. He hibernates in the city seeking warmth and shelter in the low saloons and cheap lodging houses, picking up the wherewithal by persistent street begging. This winter life IS the only really unpleasant part of the tramp's existence. If it were always summer the American hobo would be the happiest of mortals.
 The backdoor handouts at the farm houses are easy of attainment Even if one is requested to do a mite of work in return for the courtesies of victualling) it is not a dreadful hard ship. Almost any tramp is willing. under such conditions. to depart from his fixed rule of life Besides, it may be philosophically considered that working should be the tramp's recre- ation. His business is doing nothing. The man who works the year round seeks to do nothing when vacation comes. Why should not the man who does nothing the year round take pleas ure in working when his vacation time arrives. especially if by working he is enabled to prolong his stay in the fresh air amid delightful rural sur roundings ?-Cleveland Plain Dealer.

WOMAN IN BUSINESS TO BE RECkONED WITH

The woman in the business office has ceased to be a theory She is now a tangible fact to be reckoned with. and her fitness for the place as well as the fitness of the place for her depends largely on the place and the individual. says the Bookkeeper for November. l believe I am right in saying that the average woman in the average office has learned so to adapt herself to her surroundings that she is both q useful and desirable addition to the office force. She is exposed less. to temptation. as a rule. than the woman who works in a store or a fac tory. and the fact that there is a very large army of clerks and factory em- ployes whose morals are excellent proves that such temptation can be and is resisted. and that women who must work outside the shelter of home life. as a whole. are as clean and hon. est as those who lead the strictly do- mestic life.
 Office work is desirable on many accounts. It requires a better edu- cation than is often possessed by those who work at the bench or ma chine in the factory. One can dress neatly and keep reasonably tidy at such work. The pay is usually fairly good. the hours not too long. and the class of persons with whom the wo- man worker comes in contact more re fined than in factory life. though in these days there are many depart ments in a well-regulated and equip ped factory where the work possesses the same advantages as the work of the business office

Does human health depend on one organ alone? This question is becom- ing widely discussed since L. T. Cooper first advanced his theory that the stomach is the true seat of life and all health dependent upon it.
 MT Cooper. who has met with re markable success in the sale of his new medicine. believes that the stomach is responsible for most sickness and that this organ is weak in the present generation. While discussing this theory recently. he said: 'I am asked time and again to tell why my medi- cine has made such a record wherever l have introduced it. My answer al ways is because il restores the stom- ach to normal condition No one will deny that today there are more half sick men and women than ever be-. fore Nothing critical seems to be the matter with them. They are just half sick most of the time They don't know really what is the matter with them. | have talked with thousands during the past two years. and few knew indeed what their trouble was. one said nervousness, another said kidney trouble. another liver com plaint. some constipation or heart trouble. or lung trouble.
