THE MOTHER OF SENATORS.

Mississippi has furnished to the
present United States senate more
native sons than any other state in
the union, and has won the distinc-
ton of becoming known as the mother
of senators.
All along we have known, what
the rest of the world is just begin
ming to realize, that Mississippi is the
mother of great men as well as or
seven senators. She has contributed
to the world of art, finance ana dl-
plomacy many famous figures and lit
erature and kindred arts are indebted
also.
1t has only occurred to some very
wise people to give the state little
more attention and a little more con-
sideration than has been given in the
past.
1t remained for Congressman Spight
of Mississippi to call attention to this,
and in a patriotic outburst of elo-
auence he sent out, embalmed in the
Congressional Record, the following
To-day we have what can be claimed
by no other state in the union, seven
native sons of Mississippi in the sen

Dulaney bribery case, told them few
things and wanted to tell more, but
the potent, grave and reverend seniors
of the senate would not hear her; she
was confined to the single issue on
trial.
That makes the average, plain, COM
nonsense citizen very tired. Why,
because of close reasoning adopted by
the courts in rules governing the ad-
mission of testimony, should a legis-
lative committee shut out the truth
upon any matter bearing in any way
upon the general proposition they are
there to consider; to-wit, bribery and
I. corruption in the recent election of
Ifnited States Senator by that body?
or course, Mrs. Neil may be lying,
and all that No woman of such
shady reputation is entitled to full
faith and credit upon her oath. But
tie man Dulaney-the one she is
swearing against-is no little tin angel
himself. Doubtless her life is as
fclean Is his; and it ofttimes takes a
woman of just such wicked ways as
this adventures has, to catch just
such slick artists as the aforesaid Mr.
Dulaney is accredited with being. No
straight woman can follow a man

SOM ETIMEs.


Sometimes there comes sudden
gloom
On days of brightest cheer;
Sometimes there springs the deepest
wound
From those to us most dear.
But as sunshine yields to darkest
night
And shines again next day,
So let us bear whate'er of i'll
Is placed across our way.
No life so bright, so full of Joy,
That does not know its pain,
( And follows some alluring light
In hope of peace again.
Towards unseen goals do many race
And fall upon the way
Yet Joy will come when grief is spent,
As night must follow day.
The wintry wind, with chilling blast
Goes scurrying DER the lea,
And hurls the dead leaves in its path,
Far from their parent tree.
The cold, gray boughs, as brave they
stand,
Meier murmer nor complain,
Full mindful, after winters snow
That spring will come again.
We know the sparkling eye oft times
Is blinded with a tear;
And gone for aye the presence
OF those the heart holds dear.
Yet, grope not, through darkest night
Without single ray
!, But through it catch the CLEAN of
light
That tells of endless day.
IT'S not for long the heart must
ache
The grief will pass away.
Each life is ruled by Him above
Who watches day by day.
He sees each struggle when it's met
And knows it's not in vain
The lessons learned from sorrows
borne.
Will far outweigh the pain.

A laughing wind has passed me by,
Fresh from the lap of spring.
There is murmuring in my ears,
Not born of tears, nor sound of tears
Nor any doleful thing.

Where sun and shadow meet;
And snowdrops, white as whitest lawn
Are lighting up the twilight dawn

The OLD COTTON GIN.

woven of the brilliant colors Of
Might and Pride, the shadows Of

cAueHT BIRp VIE HOOK
G. N. Herbers Went Fishing for Pick
erel and Got an Aux

- = efN ~ ~ Nun
What is probably the most original
stunt in the line of fishing ever pull
ed of on the lake front was accom-
plished Wednesday by George NJ. Har-
berg, chief clerk in the office OF the
Champlain transportation company.
Mr.. Herberg went fishing for pick
erel and caught a bird. He didn't
stop at a flying fish but landed a real
live bird of a heauk variety.
Mr.. Herberg is in the habit during
the early winter months of casting a
line off the end OF the wharf at the
foot of King street. At this time Of
the year the pickerel are rather nu-
merous near the shore. The hook
with which Mr.. Herberg was fishing
yesterday was baited with a live min
now and was down in the water about
eight feet.
Leaving the spot for a time Mr..
Herberg was surprised on his return
to find struggling on the hook a big
murre or aux, as the birds are COM
monty called The fish hook was
firmly fastened in the birds breast
and during its struggles the bird had
become fatally twisted in the fishing
| line.
Recovering from his first surprise,
Mr.. Herberg hauled the bird out of
the water and 1t was placed in cap
tivity in the waiting room 1t had an
ugly wound from the hook and it re-
quired the efforts of three persons
to get the hook out.
The bird was large one, some
what resembling a duck, except that
its beak was long and sharp and it
had a peculiar habit of sitting up on
its tail. The birds are said to be
abundant along the northern coasts
of Europe and America and are some
times seen in large fiocks over Lake
| Champlain, but are not considered
common in this vicinity. They are
expert swimmers and divers and re-
main under water for some time
1t was decided in the afternoon to
give the bird its freedom and II was
accordingly liberated in the snow out
side the office door It Immediately
began to flop about and one of the
employees of the company who at
tempted TO catch the bird was held at
bay for several minutes by the vic.
ious iabs made by the bird with its
beak. At last, after doing a sort of
war dance around the bird while the
rest of the Office staff shouted en-.
enlargement from a safe distance the
brave member of the force succeeded
in gaining a strangle hold on the
long neck of the aux and 1t was con.
yeyed to the edge of the wharf and
tossed into the water. II gave one
glad squawk and Immediately ducked
under water and appeared several
yards out in the harbor. II seemed
none the worse for the wound in its
breast and was making rapidly for
the breakwater. diving at intervals
when last seen,
1t is probable that the bird came
across the live minnow on the hooi

THREE DIE IN FIRE
Loss Of 100000 in Cincinnati Man
ufaeturina District.

Cincinnati, Dec. ga dozen
streams stin played last night upon
the scene OF the fire that destroyed
a block of Cincinnati's manufactur-
ing district early yesterday. Final
recapitulation shows that three men
lost their lives, six were injured, one
perhaps fatally, while the property
loss is more than 100000, covered
by insurance to the extent Of $780,
600.
The origin of the blaze is unknown,
but the manner in which the huge
building burned inclined the fire de-
partment and insurance men to be-
leve that it was of incendiary nature.
The fire 1t is believed, started in
the engine room Of the plant of the
Krippendorf & O'Neal cOmapny.
While it was at its height a wall OF
the Krippendorf building fell and
buried Robert Grear The body was
recovered. Three other tiremen,
HUMPHREYS, Morgan and Capt. FINLEY
were also caught by the falling wall
and all were badly injured. Soon af-
terward the list OF injured fremen
was increased by the names of lluhn
and Hall. Luhn was at work in a
stable in the rear of the Griess Pfc
ger company, when he stepped into a
hatchway and fell two stories break
ing several ribs and otherwise injur-
ing himself. He was the most seri-
ously hurt of any of the fremen.
