letter in mechanical way finds the
work dull and uninteresting. But let
her have an ambition to turn out
perfect letters, let the work become
living thing to her to be moulded In
to perfection in her hands, and II
becomes a very different matter. She
begins to take joy in it, to watch her
progress, to follow the letters with
interest as so many ventures sent
forth upon unknown seas. A letter
may become very important matter
and one little mistake be of greatest
moment. 1t is not the dull, lifeless
thing it seems 1t it is living message
fraught with thought and feeling.
The stenographer can help give it a
perfect and beautiful form. No work
is so commonplace but it is the more
happily done for an inspiration,
If the salesperson works not merely
to sell goods but to satisfy customers,
her days task will go more joyously.
The girl who hands out ribbon, OF
handkerchiefs or dress goods mechan-
ically and waits indifferently for the
customers order does not enjoy the
days work like the one who takes an
interest in the customers needs, en-
tiers into her pleasures, anXieties, OF
perplexities, as to what she shall buy,
advises as wisely as she can and
sends her away grateful and satisfied
Doing ones work in this way kindles
the minds and soul. The service of it,
not the drudgery of it, takes hold of
one. 1t is no longer mere work to
earn ones living. 1t is usefulness
1t is being one of the army that
makes the world a better and happier
place to live in And that is worth
while.
Every task can be set to music il
one will look for the soul of it. Some
where in the seemingly most sordid
tasks is that kernel of usefulness and
service, grain of gold. Treasure
this and it's gold will gradually per.
meate the whole and give to the days
work glory.

state are members of the State Medi-
cal Association, and the latter has
been unanimous for some time for
revision of the laws regulating the
fications of practitioners. AS a pre-
requisite to the practice they recon-
mend a four-year course of study in a
reputable medical college, and gen.
eral attainments at least equal to
high school education. This is per-
fectly reasonable and in most states
this is the standard for the practl-
TONERS of medicine. A bill to this Ell
feet was introduced in the recent ses-
sion of the legislature, the governor
at the insistance of the state board OF
health having recommended the pass
age of the measure for more string
ent requirements from applicants for
| the medical examination. The bill
was referred to the proper committee
and has not seen the light of day
since. 1t has leaked out where the
trouble was: the commissttee consist
ing chiefly of laymen was guided
largely by the advice of physicians
and others interested in small medi-
cal school in the state who thought
that the bill would interfere with it,
The school in question falls short of
,.oo,,;,o1naptc nf tlp fOuT
year medical schools of the country,
and to accommodate the vested in
terests of a petty institution which
matriculates young men with what is
generally regarded an insufficient edu-
cation and gives them diploma after
training in the profession also re-
garded as insufficient when compared
to the great medical schools. The
prevention and treatment of diseases
| in the state seems to have been re-
garded as of less value than the as
sumed reflection on that small college.
There is no reflection intended; the
institution has done the best it could
under the circumstances and may in
time increase and improve its require
ments But that the interests of one
small school should have outweighed
the interests of the whole state is
one of the mysteries that belongs to
the class of other inexplicable things
that legislatures sometimes commit
or omit,-Natchez News.

= Heart and Home Talks :
BY Barbara Bowl

There is the story of an old-time
king who commanded that palace be
built for him to the sound of music
and richly was his wisdom rewarded,
for when the palace was done it was
found to be the most perfectly con-
structed and beautiful in the world.
The builders had unconsciously
wrought the music into their work
and made it finer kind of work
than had been known before. So it is
with human lives. They are inf
nitely better built when the builders
have something to inspire and uplift
them, something to kindle mind and
soul, and lift them above petty and
commonplace thoughts and feelings.
If every one could carry this
thought into his work how much hap
pier he would be in doing it.

cause there is the necessity for three

the satisfaction of having done her
duty if she is of that temperament,
but many regard it simply as drudg-

1t happened at little town near the
center of the state. A farmer had one
of his neighbors arrested for stealing
ducks, and the leading lawyer of the
town was employed by the accused to
endeavor to convince the court that
such was not the case The plaintiff
was positive that his neighbor was
guilty because he had seen the ducks
in the defendants yard.
How do you know they were your
ducks?" asked the lawyer
"Oh, / should know my own ducks
anywhere!" replied the farmer, and he
gave a description of their various Pc
cuiarities whereby he could readily
distinguish them from others.
Why" said the lawyer. those
ducks can't be of such rare breed |
have some just like them in my own
yard"
That's not at all unlikely" replied
the farmer, for they are not the only
ducks | have had stolen lately"

This same section makes another

THE HATTIESBURG NEWS


of the criminal court, the helping
hand of the sheriff of Davidson coun-
ty and the direct aid of the criminal
court clerk
\ The venire from which the jury
was impaneled was of the selection
of the defendants.
When the jury was finally chosen.
it inclnded eight men who had voted
for Gov Patterson and were identi-
fed with his political faction.
That the burden of the state was
almost overpoweringly great is estab-
needed to convince only one juryman
of the innocence of the Coopers to
secure a mistrial, which would have
been equivalent to an acquittal.
AS the governor says, he himself
went on the witness stand, a volun-
| tary contribution on his part to the
efforts of the defense He was never
cross-eXamined his testimony was
never discussed by the attorneys for
the prosecution, and yet every one of
the jurymen, as shown by the verdict,
refused to be Influenced by him or to
accept his statements.
With all these facts in mind, the
governors insistence that the trial
was not fair, in that the Coopers were
convicted, is monstrously absurd and
palpably untrue.
In this connection, we may refer to
the governors continued friendship
for and allegiance TO Col. Cooper
The latter by his own admission has
been connected with many transac,
lions which man jealous of his hon
or and circumspect in his relations
would have avoided. He admitted to
being in the pay and on the salary
roll for lobbying purposes of cor
poration which for a generation has
been debauching or attempting to de-
bauch the legislatures of the state.
| He admitted that while on such salary
roll he borrowed of a friend thousands
of dollars with the assignment of his
salary as security, and after achiev
ing the loan, resigned his position and
thus robbed his friend
He admitted that he had been an
embezzler and defaulter
He was shown to have been re-
lated to the transaction by which a
treasurer of the state was made to
appear a defaulter for nearly half
million dollars, not any part of which
the said treasurer ever secured to
himself. He was shown to be gam
bier and CRATER in every step of his
career, pillaging to- right and to left,
and leaving the victims of his undoing
stranded across a continent.
1t is for this man that the governor
processes continued devotion and
whom he still holds as a social fav-
orite and a political adviser
And when all is said, with the char
acter of Cooper thus laid bare by his
own admission. we are not sure he is
worse than others whom the governor
has as his kitchen cabinet, to whom
he awards honors and for whom he
arranges fees.
The announcement of his candidacy
for a third term will make such con-
ditions public property.
BY Them the governor must stand.
and perhaps for them he shall fall.
He has accepted full responsibility
for them and if calamity comes it will
be of his own making

WHY SOME MEDICAL BILLS

State Normal College


The main question to be discussed
& at the court house this evening is the
Main street public school building
whether it shall be repaired or re-
built; and upon that point there seems
to be some radical, but none the less
honest differences of opinion.
In connection with this main sub
iect the State Normal has a bearing
in this particular way: The town
that gets the State Normal will have
to buy it. That is, the town offering
the most liberal inducements, health
railroad facilities, and other conven-
fences being equal, will get it. And
if Hattiesburg thinks the trustees are
going to come here and ask this peo-
pie to please accept the Normal with
their compliments, they are very bad
ly. mistaken. If they expect to get 1t
without any effort, they are still mis-
taken. Ifthey think to get it without any
cost, they yet have another think COM
ing to them. A State Normal College
Is great big institution for any
town. and there is going to be a fight
to get this one.
Our city readers are familiar with
the Main street trouble, and will know
how to deal with tat question to-
night Some little information con-
corning the Normal, may be of some
interest and benefit right at this
stage of the discussion. The News
win quote therefore, from the law:
After the enacting clause, Section l
4 provides for the creation of the Mis-
sissippi Normal College to cost not
more than s100,000.0O; to have per-
4 petual succession and full power to
contract and be contracted with; to
adopt bylaws, rules and regulations
for the government of its employees
and official agents
Section provides that the object
of this college shall be to qualify
teachers for the public schools of this
state, and to teach such studies as
the Board of Trustees may from time
to time prescribe.
Section provides that the powers
of said corporation shall be vested
In a Board of Trustees, composed of
one member from each Congressional
q District, and of the Governor and
State Superintendent of Education,
the Governor to be the President of
the Board.
Section provides that the Board
Of Trustees shall hold their first meet
ing at Jackson within one month
from the time of appointment. (Three
weeks of that time have already ex-
pired.)
Section 9 provides that the Board
of Trustees shall, as soon as practi-
cal after their appointment, arrange
to receive from the localities desiring
to receive the location of said school,
proposals for donations for a suitable
site, and other valuable considera-
tions, and shall locate the same in
Tie DidCc OnCtinS lhS luOoL huN oil
tageous conditions, all things consid-
cred
Section 10 provides that upon the
selection of location the trustees
shall secure plans for the erection of
Buildings, for the improvements Of
lands, etc. The plans, contracts and
erection of these buildings is left in
the hands of the trustees. This sec
ton also provides that the number
of students shall be apportioned
among the different counties of the
state in proportion to the number of
edncab1e children in each county, as
compared with the whole number of
educable children in the state It is
