Of those paroled for minor otfenses is

This necessary saving gives the cul-

Opening Another Desert.

There are people still living who
can recall when Phil Kearney crossed
the prairies of the west, and found a
pass over the Rocky mountains; who
may recall that he, like those who had
gone before, included much of the
territory between the Missouri river
and the mountains in the Great Ameri-
can Desert, and predicted it would
never be fit for human habitation.
But now it contains several of the
greatest agricultural states, and is q
most important source of feeding the
nation. The part the railroads have
played in the development which has
followed Kearney will not be disputed
even by their numerous enemies.
In view of which it is interesting to
note that another and far away land.

be penetrated by railroad. Australia

SIDE LIGHTS ON hi'LAURlN.

Mississippi Senator Was One of the
ssnate's Most Popular Men.
Senator Anselm Joseph McLaurin.
who recently died at his home in Bran
don, Miss, was one of the most pop
ular men in the United States senate.
His Republican associates had as high
regard for him as his Democratic col
leagues had. His good humor was
constant, and his executive session sto-
ries were a cause of great joy to those
who served with him in the senate.
Senator McLaurin was born March
&c, 1848, at Brandon, Miss, which was
his legal residence up to the time Of
his death. When less than year old
he was taken by his parents to Smith
county, Miss, where he lived on q
farm and attended school occasionally.
At the age Of sixteen years he Joined
the Confederate army and served
throughout the late unpleasantness as
a private After the war he managed
to take an educational course of two
years at Summerville institute.
He began to practice law in 1868,
was elected district attorney in 1871,
went 10 the legislature in 1879 and
became governor of mississippi in 1896.
In 1900, the year after his term as
governor expired, he was elected to
the United States senate and began
his service on March 4, 1901. He was
elected for. another term Of six years
in 1907.
Senator McLaurin was married to
Miss Laura Rauch on Washingt 8
birthday, in 1870. Ten children were
born to them, of whom seven are liy-
ing.
In one executive session of the SEN
ate when the nomination Of Dr. Crum,

sold his farm and went to Kansas,
where he was assured Of prosperity.
Kansas proved failure, however,
and after losing nearly all his money
the negro started back for Mississippi.

the plans are so far perfected that it

Of its own land to make up this huge

was not physically able to prevent the
old man from getting any water at all,
and if they had been safely above
ground, where the strong arm of
political government with it's equitable
laws protect the weak against the
strong, and thus cement society into a
solidarity of brotherhood, that is
probably exactly what would have
happened. But these men we're re-
moved from the atmosphere in which
the notion quite universally prevails
that all ethical restraints reside in a
king, and the kings government.
Under the existing conditions with
one momentary exception, they at
once became normal. The attributes
with which they we're originally en-
dowed spontaneously spraIg into
effective being and operation and
they became human. They we're all
on level, confronted with comm6 n
death because of lack of sufficient foo
and water, but they did not engage in
a fierce struggle to see which would
have it all and thus perhaps survive.
These untortunates at once became
men, and with one accord, stood back
and allowed the weak old man a
larger share of the life saving water,
every drop of which was more precious
to them than any and all conceivable
things.

The Cherry Mine disaster with the

The Cherry Mine disaster with the
horrors accompanying it, is still fresh
in the minds Of the citizens of this
country. In the nelghborhood of
three hundred found an ignominious
death in the bowels of the earth due TO
the rapacity and greed and the
criminal negligence of the mine
owners. Only twenty of those who
were entombed survived, and were
rescued. 1t may be of interest to our
READERS to learn how these twenty
average citizens conducted themselves,
especially with reference towards each
other while they faced what to them
no doubt meant certain death.
We quote from personal letter of
A. G. Wright of Pontiac, Michigan,
which we hope will prove interesting
and instructive reading.
He says that doubtless in their every
day life and in contact with the in
fiuences that descend upon such from
the refnements of civilization, these
znen, quite like the average of hu-
snanity, were always on the alert to
seize upon every advantage for over
reaching or getting the best of one
another. But down in the black

passion, including the strongest of
all, the desire to live. Embossed and
unfettered, by anything external to
themselves, what took place? Did
they Immediately fall upon one
another in a mad fight for possession
of the small bit Of food that remained
among them to determine who would
aave and eat il? Not at all. There
was one among the twenty who wished

in all they did by its persuasive power.
They began to search for water and
having found it though in very
aneager supply, black and sooted with
coal, life saving and refreshing water
nevertheless they each took turns in
obtaining such relief from burning
ahirst as the few black drops, oozing
slowly forth, would give. Confronted
with the terrors of slow death from
starvation, and thirst, these Iowly
men were each mindful of the claim of
the others desire to have and to live.
In the presence of this awful peril,
aineteen of these men exercised self
governing restraint and practiced a
self-denial worthy of the noblest
among mankind. Among them there
was one who was sixty years of age,
whose infrmities made it improbable
chat he should survive until hoped for
rescue, unless his feeble powers were

all too limited supply of water that
