That Silver Service Spat.

Ellisville New SOuth-NewS.
Some disgraceful scenes are being
enacted over at Jackson, Miss, over
the silver service fund for the pur-
chasing of service for the battleship
Mississippi, by high up state officials
and an ex-state official, which to say
the least of it, is unworthy of those
engaged in it. We do not pass upon
the question of who is particularly
in the wrong, but give it as our O.
pinion that they are all four wrong,
and ought to resign from the com
mission and turn the whole matter
over to Mrs. Lockwood, and let her
attend to the details. which she no
doubt, would do in short order.

It's remarkable how sensitive so
many of US are to the influence of
others of stronger mind and more
mature character, This does very
well when we are in the embryo, and
those from whom we take the cue,
are of that high moral standing to
be worthy exempIars, but when they
happen to be of perverted tastes. we
can but suffer from the dynamic in
flow to our susceptibilities. Often
there are people who nave an extern
sive following, that if the truth was
known about their own moral char
acters it would easily explain their
algnments and destroy rightly their
influences. How the world does
need in this generation a bigger crop
of men and women who are not
afraid to think for themselves and to
be governed in life and expression
by their own conclusions. There
are oh! so many weaklings in
strong bodies VINO get their views
second-handed made to order.

Watch the Reading Habit.
Lafayette Co. Press.

Lafayette Co. Press.
One criticism made of the South is
that her people have not the reading
habit, that they are outside of tie
great world of new thought which
stirs the intellect of other sections
and this is the main cause of her pro-
vincialism of speech and thinking.
This may be true in part. But it is
not true in many, many places, even
in the small towns. We know towns
in Mississippi not so large as Oxford
that have public libraries well pat
ronized and several counties in the
State have circulating libraries for
the public schools. We say it in no
spirit of criticism, but it is true that
while we have good facilities for Sc
curing the newest books soon after
they are issued from the press, yet
practically all the reading matter is
fiction. No biography, essays, sci
ence, economics or philosophy is
brought here.

Likes and DisIikeS.

Dear Editor: Please give one who
admires your Home Circle depart
ment little space to subject not
yet touched upon:
Give me a good, social life, and not
a society life; genial, natural person
and not simply an affable one; one
sensible, popular maiden, and not a
belle, for no man cares for shch a
wife whose heart has been trampled
on like hayward.
Give me the woman who works
with vim and never tries to shirk
her duty, but whose cry is: Can
do enough?" and not: "Oh, my!
haye too much to do" People who
dwell SO much on self are generally
miserable.
Give me the woman who is willing
TO adapt herself to circumstances,
and who after an exertion of efforts
has such an undying foith, her motto
is, Though he may STAY me, yet |
will trust Him. The woman VINO
will not be miserable over the past
but will cling to the future with
hope, for hope is the blossom of hap
piness; the woman not afraid to SUI
perintend her domestic affairs and
then groce her parlor with as much
dignity and confidence as if she were
the wife of the President of the
United States; the woman who would
cling to her husband through thick
and thin, remembering she took him

How to Wash Silk Gloves.

Silk gloves can be washed like any
ordinary material, though it is best to
soak colored ones in salt water before
washing them, especially if the colors
are not substantial. After rinsing the
gloves turn them wrong side out and
hang in a shady place to dry. Do not
sprinkle them before ironing, but
dampen a towel, roll them in it and
leave for an hour or two. Iron the
gloves on the wrong side. as it raises
the thread on the right. When per-
fectly dry turn them, and you viii be
pleased to see they look like new ones.
Use bluing in the rinse water for all
gloves.

ACT AS SPUR TO MANS PRIDE.
Love and Belief Are Powerful Agents

Even when the schoolboy falls in
love with tn little girl in pinafores,
his first instinct is to acQuit himself
in her eyes in some magnificent way
to knock out some other boy, or in
timidate foe.
This instinct remains with men I'M
til they die, just as girls from the
cradle or inspired by love seek beauty
to appear lovely in the eyes of their
edorers.
And the masculine pride and PROV
ess and strength are what the wise
girl will use in her desire to reform
some man who Is merely weak.
Nagging drives such men into the
depths. Every look of derision, snue.
insult, sinks the iron deeper into their
souls.-Exchange.

How to Cure a Sore Throat.

A gargle that has quickly banished
many a bad sore throat is made by
dissolving a teaspoonful of powdered
borax in Il tumbler of water. This can
be used either hot or cold. but should
not be swallowed. If the boraX gargle
is not liked, strong salt water is an ex-
cellent substitute. 1t can be used
many times a day The good results
are increased by snuffing the salt wa
ter up through the nostrils and back
through the throat. A teaspoOnful Of
salt to a glass of water is strong
enough, especially if the nose and
throat are sensitive. This salt water
gargle is used several times a day by
one trained nurse who has had many
diphtheria patients without succumb-
ing to the disease.

HOW TO KEEP A HORSE HAPPY
Practical Suggestions For Cold Wealth
err From a Veterinary.

err From Veterinary.
The great prevalence Of diseases of
the respiratory organs in horses every
spring, says a well known horse doc
tor, is largely due to the weakening of
the system by sudden chills caused by
standing in rain or sleet, especially
when perspiring, and to carelessness
in blanketing. Then comes the shock
of the cold northwest storms frequent
in winter, when the temperature how
ers around zero, and in consequence
the animal becomes too feeble to resist
disease
Be sure if your horse is stabbed in
cold or drafty place that he is well
blanketed, and there should be
change of blankets, for to make him
stand under a blanket which is wet
either from sweat or from snow or
rain is much worse than giving him no
blanket at all.
Blankets for street use should be
large enough to cover the horse from
neck to tail and should come well
down all around, and chest pads are
Of great service. When the horse is
making delivery trips with frequent
stops the blanket may be folded across
tha vithers when the animal is in ac-
Coal delivery horses should be pro-
vided with blankets reaching nearly
to the ground, and again the use of
chest pads is to be commended. Owing
to the hardship of their task these
animals are often forced into perspira-
ton even in very cold weather. They
are, therefore, entitled to even greater
consideration and must have it if their
health and usefulness are to be main
tanned.
Cab horses should likewise be blan
keted with great care, since they are
often obliged TO stand severe expo
sure, and the special blankets made
for them should be in general use.
No horse should be forced to stand
even for a few minutes during severe
weather without a covering. Above
all, see to it that when standing in a
chill stable dry blankets are provided
and used. Whatever you do, don't
blanket your horse while it is in ae-
ton There is no more certain means
of inducing serious if not fatal illness,
since the blanket is certain to become
moist from sweat and to cause a chill
the moment the animal stands
One other suggestion which will add
greatly to the health and comfort of
your horse If the sun is shining on a
cold day, be sure to have your horse
stand on the sunny side of the street.
Lots of drivers do this, but the prac-
tice should be universal, for, with the
very slightest Inconvenience to your
self. you are giving your animal the
benefit of the heat and the genuine
tonic of q sun bath.

The decision of the United States
Supreme Court sustaining the Texas

and will have far reaching results. 1t
is victory for state rights in that
it confirms the right of any state to
deal with unlawful combinations In
restraint of trade that exist within
it's own borders, even though those
combinations may have an inter
state character. 1t also shows that
when the effort Is properly made the

The first question a man asks when
he sees a girl flirting is whether she
is respectable or not; it raises
doubt at once. This being the case
no modest girl can afford to indulge
in the pastime. When the down is
brushed from a peach it's beauty is
so married that it can never be re-
stored, and when young girl throws
lightly aside that sweet and modest
reserve so becoming to maiden,
and which so eIevates her to COM
mand the respect Of all, she loses the
great charm and becomes rather
cheap and common, to use no rash
terms, Flirting may seem to the
giddy aud thOughtless girl wonder
fully amusing and she may get the
idea that she is fascinating, but IL is
most degrading thing and should be
frowned upon by every young lady
who has an ambition to become a
worthy and charming young woman.
