at her heels. She stepped up into the
grand salon and after moving about
for a few moments, beckoned to a
nut-brown chambermaid. When the
servant came near the young lady
opened pearl inlsid portemonnaie,
and taking from it a ten dollar bill, re-
quested her to procure a stateroom
and passage ticket to the city Of
Boston:
A few minutes afterwards the cham
bermaid returned and Informed the
young lady that the staterooms on the
boat were all engaged.
The young lady seemed greatly dis
appointed and said it was a sorry
predicament for her to be placed in:
and If the deep drawn sigh she ut
tered was an index of her feelings at
that moment, she was not only greatly
disappointed, but at loss to know
what to do.

Schurz Was Sure Of Him.


Carl Schurz was dining one night
with a man who had written book
Of poems, so called, and who was
pleased with himself.
The poet was discoursing on the
time-worn topic Of politics Of the men
who take Office.
Il consider politics and politicians
beneath my notice." he said. II do
not care for Office. Wouldn't be a
senator or cabinet officer, and l doubt
If could be tempted by the offer of

that, I would rather be known as a

Note From Eastwood Ruole,

Somebody took the rope OF the bell
in the fire engine house to use for a
clothesline, and now, when there is a
fire, the constable has to climb up
into the tower and ring the bell with
a hammer. Somebody took the ham,
mer the other day, and, when Hank
Purdy's corncrib ketched fire, the con-
stable had to hurry down to Hill
ker's store for to borry hammer.
Hilliker had lent his hammer to Dea-
con Renfrew, who lives four miles out
in the country, and by the time the
constable had got there and hunted
around in the barn for the hammer
and got back to the engine house, the
angry elements had done their worst
and Hanks corncrib was mass Of
smoldering ruins.-Judge's Library.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

cure deafness and that is by constitutional remedies

tube Is innamed you have q rumbing sound Or i'm

That Famous Combination Bill.

The following is the bill vetoed
by Gov. Vardaman: Saw mill
corporations may hold pine tim
berland and standing pine timber
suitable for manufacturing into
lumber to an amount in value not
exceeding ten million dollars. but
no such corporation shall hold
stump lands or lands from which
the greater portion Of the mer-
chantable timber has been cut,
in excess of the value of $780,
900.
The present law passed at Gov.
Vardaman's behest allows saw
mill corporations to own stump
or cut over lands, farm lands, to
the value of two million dollars,
eight times as much land as the
bill vetoed allowed them to hold.

land for our children" or for

The Vardaman battery has
again been silenced by Gov.
NOel's letter telling Of his ap-
pointments of members of his
legislature to office. The Iamen-
tations Of our friends have been,
that the Governor bartered off
appointments to members of the
legislature in order to get them
to vote against Vardaman for
Senator. 1t is shown that Noel
appointed several members of
the legislature to fill offices, while
it is also shown, that Vardaman.
while Governor, appointed twen-
ty two members of the legisla-
ture. We do not believe that the
governor would, or could, infuen-
ce the legislature in this way if
such be the case, we challenge
the Vardaman supporters to show
that any other governor has
done more to control the legisla-
ture by appointments, than did

No Sinecures And Fewer Offices.

Gov. Noel Of Mississippi, having
received many inquiries lately as
to the number of offices in Missis
sippi, and whether or not there has
been any increase during his ad-
minstratiOn, hastens to explain
that the tendency there as in New
York and other States has been to
cut off all unnecessary political
post tiOnS and excessive fees and
salaries. There has been, he says,
a net decrease in the number Of
offices in Mississippi during his ad-
minitratiOn of 3OS, with a saving
to the State of S15O,OOO a year, or
100000 for the gubernatOrial
term.
There was an increase in the
judiciary force, which has been very
small-the Supreme Court consists
of only three members, with thir
teen circuit judges aud eight chan
celIOrs, twenty four in all, less than
One-thirh as many as we have in
Louisiana. Six judges have been
added in the last four years, on the
gro md that the State saves there
by four times the cost of these new
,judgeshipS in the matter Of fewer
delays and witness fees alone.
But without going into the de-
tails of the work of the Mississippi
Legislature in creating new offices
only when they are needed, in
aDolishing all sinccures and super
fiuities and in keeping down the
expenses in the interest of the tax
payers, it is sufficient to say that
the presenti Legislature has saved
the people of Mississippi $4,000
in salaries, reducing the total to
that extent during Gov. NOels
term, while the Louisiana Legisla-
ture has, on the same line, SO in
creased the offices or raised salaries
as to add to the burden of the
taxpayers by the total of over
81 10000 during Gov. Sanders
term.
Comment is unnecessary. We
believe that the people of Louis
lana want economy us much a.
those of Mississippi, New York or
Boston; that they are just as much
opposed to sinecureS and eXtrava-
CANT salaries, and that Louisiana
is no better able financially to
waste money on too many or too
high priced politician and Office
holders than is rich New York or
Boston, the one with nearly eight
billion dollars Of assessed wealth,
the other with billion and a half,
but both Of which have cut down
their salary list Il million or more
annually in the last few years, in
order to relieve the burden on the
people and to cut out graft and
ST .ecures.

Goth YEAR
THE TEST.

Most Americans-from those
hero worshipers who hail him as
an inspired ader to the group
which condemns him as an IN
sincere and dangerous aglltator
or demagogue- ire watching the
progress of Theodore Roosevelt
with the liveliest interest. His
rapid advance from comparative
obscurity to international promi-
nence, whether it be due to the
accident Of chance, the arts Of a
skillful politician, or cOmblna-
ton Of these with a rare degree
of inherent merit, provides a
fascinating study. Through the
extremists among his admirers
and his enemies are alike conf
dent that they have taken his
measure, the prudent will post
pone, for a while at least. any
positive prophecy respecting the
final estimate of posterity.
Just now, it might be suggest
ed, the Colonel is undergoing one
of the seyerest of tests. Upon
his for er whirlwind trips, dur
ing which, as he is doing to-day,
he delivered dozens of mes
sages' daily to his country men,
he was aided by the prestage OF
his office, by a popularity that
amounted almost to craze, and
perhaps by his exceptional Skill
as an Opportunist. After an alb
sence and a comparative silence
of more than a year, he has
undertaken, as a private citizen,
to begin where he left off. On
the surface. and so far, his
undertaking seems to promise
success.
His audiences in the West have
almost uniformly manifested the
old enthusiasm. He has COM
mitted himself to the progressive
movement which seems to be
sweeping the country and IS
welcomed gladly to the leader
ship by those who have led it
hetherto. His ardent admirers
indulge high hopes that he will
not only duplicate, but surpass,
his achievement as a leader Of
human thought and shaper of
national destinies.
Before accepting taeir verdict
it will be we'll at least to wait the
sober second thought of the ma
ton, the cooler-blooded appraisal
Of his countless speeches. 1t may
be stated as a general rule that
public men who talk SO much
and on so many subjects fall
victims at last to their own gar
rulity. The rule is proved by
distinguished examples at home
and abroad, and by no less dis
tinguished, though rare excep-
tions. Either the continuous
speaker, in his straining for ap-
plause, overshoots his mark and
alarms or disgusts his audience,
or, by refusing to lead the mob
to the extremes toward which 1t
is impelled by the passion or
craze Of the honr, he gives way
to a more daring or less scrupu
lous leader who has his little day
and is crushed by the inevitable
reaction.
There are a few, a very few.
exceptions, as we have said.
The rare spirits who have sue
cessfully stood the test are ac-
claimed by history. Whether
Col Roosevelt will join them, by
linking triumph to triumph, and
bending the nation to his will is
a question yet to be answered.

TRAINING TO BE UNPOPULAR

There is a small girl in a suburban
town who is on the road to being an
exceedingly unpopular young lady.
She is positive, aggressive, "nosey," as
some one put it, domineering- the
things, in fact, that one dislfkes. When
she grows up people will not like her,
the boys will steer clear Of her, she
will be a wall flower at dances. she
will be left out of jolly little AFFAIRS.
She will not be one of the girls whose
life is bright and full of good times.
1t is a pity that her mother or some
one with her welfare at heart doesn't
correct these faults and set her on the
road to popularity. She doesn't know
now the trouble she is laying up Tor
herself And when she is old enough
to realize it, a long and hard battle is
ahead to win what she so much wants.
No girl desires to be unpopular. the
girl who is broods over the matter,
watches the popular girl and ponders
and ponders what is the matter with
herself Possibly from a child she has
been allowed to be disagreeable with
out knowing it. But now that she
does know it, what shall she do?
For one thing, she can study the
qualities people like. The world gen
orally likes pleasantness. The pleasant
person is generally welcome. The
world likes good nature. People steer
clear of the man or woman with
crouch or who is always complaining
about fate. But what a faVorlte Is
the CHEEKY person, the one with
spontaneous and genuine smile!
The world likes kind people. Wnat
