l detested that particular pattern of silver"
 "Uugrateful wretch" I cried. 'No friend could possibly feel that way who loved you enough to give you a dozen silver spoons of any kind. And I think 1t was awfully wrong of you to send tn em away"
 Not at all,'' replied she indignantly. My sister thought there was no ac- tual wrong in it, and that settled it with me. It will give our cousin Kate untold joy, and they made me furious every time 1 looked at them, and in the long run it will save my temper and disposition and that Is something"
 Maybe Cousin Kate will send them on to some one else," I suggested.
 Well, a jeweler told me not long ago that to his certain knowledge a certain silver bowl had been sent to three different persons. three Christi masses in succession, having been sefiT to him to put in a new case each time," said she.
 We might name that a peripatetic Christmas gift" I suggested as heard the story
 (Which reminds me that I got siI- yer bowl that 1 am going to exchange" said she. Tt is so htdeous that 1 often wonder as l look at it what brain could have been so disgruntled as to design it. It has four ill-shaped feet-after what animal these were fashioned can not tell-they are so ugly. On the han dies are strange little animals which might be unicorns q never saw one) if they didn't bear such striking resemblance to the mock turtle fin Alice-in- W Wonderland. Wine would have turned to vinegar in that bowl and as for conviviality-well,i it would have fled to the four corners of the earth if confined in such a thing"
 You are the original grouch, when it comes to Christmas presents.' I said, as heard her grumbling and fussing about each and everything she re- ceived.
 And I am still of the opinion that some folks just give you ugly Christ mas presents purely for sptte.' she re- piled. "They have to give you some thing maybe-some sort of obligation compels then-and so they select the very ugIiest things they can find"
 Well, your friends and mine are certainly different" said as we parted. For am about the best satisfied per son you ever saw with all the lovely things I got, and I wouldn't exchange one of them for the world"

LAWMAKERS MEET
 IN MISSISSIPPI Senatorial Question AbSorbs
 Interest of All OLD POLITICIANS ARRIVE Hotel Lobbies Are Filled With the Candidates for Senator and Their Friends and Wire Pulling
 Is Rather Lively.

Jackson Miss, January 4.-(Special.)- The Mississippi legislature convened to- day at noon with almost every member of both houses present and only three new men, all in the senate, to be sworn in. Pierce thus succeeds Sample of Holmes Hibbler succeeds Barry of Clay both of whom died during vacation. Thigpen succeeds Whitlaw of Jasper who was appointed chancellor. Doorkeeper Thorn ton having also died, W. Il. Rees, Con- 1ederate veteran, who lost arm at Perryville, was elected his successor on the first ballot
 After appointing committees and notify ing the governor and house that the senate was organized and ready for. bus mess and the governors message hay ing been read. the senate voted to hold join services January 13 to eulogize the late Senator .McLaurn.
 There were no elections in the house and no new members to be sworn in. f Holmes, Crawford and Barr, was ap- pointed to draft resolutions on the death of Senator McLaurin and out of respect to his memory the house, after hearing the governors message read, adjourned to 10 o'clock tomorrow.
 The senatorial fight shows no change, still being the field against Vardaman and the legislature will do little till that contest ends.
 The old-time politicians the men who always attended state conventions. set triggers and pulled wires for themselves or their friends, have swooped down on Jackson in great numbers, and are en- toying politics as they have not done be- fore since the state convention of 10 or 12 years ago met in the old Deaf and Dumb institution hall on State street and nominated A. H. Longino for gov- ernor on the first ballot. The day was one of the hottest on record and the small hall was packed to suffocation, making it necessary to adjourn to the old capitol and complete the ticket in spite of the fact that the building was considered unsafe.
 That was the last state convention : held, the primary having been put to use in the selection of all officers since
The Birmingham age-herald., 1910-01-05

that time. There are great many who do not like the primary system and would like to see it abolished It gives no more satisfaction than did the old convention method, and does not furnish one-half the amusement.
 While this election is restricted to the members of the legislature, of course, the politicians who are not members of the lawmaking body are here in force, and they are working like beavers for their friends, just as they would do in case of a state convention.
 The hotel Hobbies are filled with ani- mated champions of the several candi- dates, all of whom have established headquarters just as they would have done in case of a convention, and all of them are well patronized.
 The candidates here tooay are c. F. Bledsoe og Grenada, Leroy Percy of Greenyille, w. D. Anderson of Tupelo, c. c. Dunn of Meridian, Adam Byrd of Philadelphia, J. c. Kyle of Sardis, J. K. Vardaman and c. H. Alexander of Jack son. Judge F. A. Critz, the only other pronounced candidate, was detained at his home in West Point, but his son, F. A. Critz, Jr., Is here looking after his interests.
 The contest so far has been very friend 1y and the hope is expressed on all sides that this family row shall be good nat ured and free from any and all kinds of mud-slinging, even unto the bitter end
 Every candidate has his party of friends and advisers and caucusses are of frequent occurrence. The bright star of hope seems to be shining in every camp and every candidate takes an op- timistic view of the situation. His greet ing smile is as broad as 1t is long and his hand-shake is of the warm and lin- gering kind, whether talking to friend or foe.

When a person finds himself suffer ing from chronic indigestion, there IS just one of two things to do: Discon- tinue the use of food almost entirely or obtain something that will digest the food for you until your stomach muscles are in working order again.
 It is possible to obtain a remedy that will digest food even when the stomach can't. and we can obtain the word of many reputable people to prove 1t: Since Indigestion Is usually complicated with constipation and liver trouble 1t is necessary to get remedy that has laxative as well as digestive properties, and which at the same time contains ingredients that will tone and strengthen the stomach and bowel muscles. Such a remedy. according to the testimony of people for a quarter of q century is Dr. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin, which can be obtained of any druggist at nifty cents or one dollar a. bottle. as 1t comes fin both sizes. But if you are one who has never used this grand remedy. and you would like to make test of 10 before buying of your druggist. then send your name and address toe pr. Caldwell and he will gladly send you . freo sample bottle for trial In this

Thousands of families like that of MT Frank Connor of 108 State street. Madison. Wis. and Mrs. Virginia Cum ningham of Weir. Miss, no longer use the ordinary dyspepsia cures'' for in- digestion, nor cathartic pills or salts for constipation. but they get Dr. Cald- wells Syrup Pepsin. which is truer and more genuine, milder and more pleas ant. and yet thoroughly effective. Try it and see the good results you will obtain.
