A young and pretty woman stepped off
a street car in New York. but dropped
one of her dainty slippers on the floor
without missing it till she touched the cold
ground. But the car sped away. A young
shoe manufactures picked it up. Not know
ing the girl he advertised the lost shoe.
The girl came to his store and claimed
the shoe and gave him her hand and her
heart While this romance turned out nicely
we shall not guarantee that other girls
can succeed in like manner But some
may try it if they feel like it. This re-
minds us of story of years ago. A gen
tleman was riding along the road, in
the rural district, and as he was passing
a country home, very Unexpectedly there
came a buxcm maid with water bucket
on her arm, gleefully singing and running
towards a low fence by the roadside be-
yond which and the road was the family
spring. Before the gentleman was dis
covered by the girl she had made a spring
and jumped the fence and ran on. The
stranger made inquiry concerning the fam
lily and the girl, and finally wound up the
story by marrying the agile bu0om girl.
He afterwards became a popular judge
and she fine society woman. And they
say that for many months after, girls in
that section learned and racticed iumD-
ing fences galore, especially when a
stranger hove in sight.

The great inventor Edison, now claims
that he can make moving pictures of men
talk. He gave kinetophone exhibition
in New York as an experiment.. The
figure of man stepped forward and began
to speak The lips moved with the words
that came from no other place. The man
dropped croquet ball and the sound was
heard the instant it touched the floor.
He struck table with hammer and
the sound of the strokes were heard at
the instance. He dropped plate and its
cracking to pieces was heard by the audi
ence, and lastly the scene closed by the
man squeezing an auto. horn and the
honk-honk was plainly heard, and the au-
dience was dismissed. Edison says two
years from now everything will be perfect
for use on theatre boards.

The Louin High school authorities at
Louin, Miss, passed an order requiring
all pupils there to provide themselves with
individual drinking cups This is GER
tainly wise move, though to most peo-
pie it may be strange che. So many
children drinking from the same single
cup or dipper can communicate disease
from one to another from microbe that any
one or more of them can carry on the lip
or in the mouth. Who knows but that
some pupils of school have been made
sick by the transfer of micrcbe on the
common dipper, but the disease attributed
to some other cause? Some boy or girl
in large school may have communicable
disease which can easily enter the system
of another through putting the mouth on
the same spot of the dipper, which is done
in nearly every case of drinking, and yet
no one except a physician can detect it at
sight. The safest thing, in view of such pos
sible risk, is for each pupil who dips
water from the same bucket during the day,
TO have smill dipper of his or her own,
and not allow any one else to use it. This
matter is worth considering by school au-
thorities everywhere. If we recall Alright,
the school at Forest has adopted the in
dividual cup system.

TO THE PUBLISHERS OF MISSIS-
SIPPI.

When the promoters of the Mississippi
Publishers Association concluded that the
publishers of this state and Louisiana need
ed service of ready print edited here where
the matter selected would be the kind to
best suit conditions in this field anG 10 be
furnished at fair price, it was expected
that the Western Newspaper Union would
do all in its power to head off the en-
terpriSc, as it had absorbed all competition
the last purchase being the Vicksburg
Newspaper Union, and closed all competing
Offices.
Wednesdays Jackson Daily News stated
that representative of that concern had
been in Jackson the day before and secured
an option on building where it might
install an up-to-date plant to serve the
Mississippi and Louisiana territory.
The Mississippi Publishers Association
has the ability and the experience to cover
the field with as good service as any COM
petitor could promise, or render,
and it calls on the brethren OF the press
to not turn down horne enterprise to the
benefit of monopoly. A fair field and
equal chance is all that is asked, with the
promise that the cost will be no greater
than Legitimate business has right to
demand. Every publisher knows what it
is to deal with any concern that has a
monopoly in its line.
Within very short time a representative
of the Mississippi Publishers Association
will visit each Office in this state, to talk
business to the owner and the request is
hereby made that no contracts be made
with any other concerns until fair ep-
portunity to be heard is given to the home
enterprise.
