FEARED FATE OF COMPANION
Possible Reason Why DOG Ressssd -
Wear Collar That Belonged -
Dead Chum.

A New York physician told this
story recently in . little company
where pet animals we're being dis
cussed: eve had two little pets,
a Bohemian and q King Charles.
They were both bright, we'll behaved
and affectionate, with . weakness for
the baby and candy. They were 20
much members Of the family that
when presents were distributed Tip
and Rex were often remembered.
Once they got new collars. with .
high key bell on one and q bell OF
lower note on the other. The Blen-
helm, a short time ago, got mixed
up with the wheels of an automobile
and went to dog paradise, and there
was mourning in the nursery. A
few days later the maid, before tax
ing him out, put the collar on Rex,
but instead Of jumping for the door,
as he usually does, he howled and
slunk back into the Railways. Moth
ing could induce him to follow the
maid, and when she tried to carry
him he growled and showed his teeth,
and the cry went through the house
that Rex is mad It was discovered
that the dead dogs collar had been
put on by mistake. and when this
was removed he was himself again.
It was evident that he would not
wear his former csmpanion's bell. |"

THE THINKERS OF THE PAST
81 Their Methods and Thoss
Of the Present Day.

Why does this thought enter and
Renter my mind, and fash upon me
in ever-varying brilliancy?-that, in
times Of yore, explorers, in their
search after the origin of things, al
ways expected to find a something
which might be Of invaluable impor-
lance to every action and judgment !;
whereas now, the farther we trace
the origin the less we feel con-
cerned about our interests. The in
significance Of the origin increases
in proportion to our insight into the
origin; whereas the things nearest
to, around. and within ourselves
gradually begin to display color and
beauty, puzzles and riches Of greater
importance than the older humanity
ever dreamed of. Formerly thinkers
used to move furiously about like
captured beasts, intently watching
the bars and their cages, and leaping
up against them in order to smash
them. Happy was he who fancied
that he could spy through q gap

u. S. Senator Gore. and State
Senator Bf1bo.

Senator Gore, of Oklahoma,
charged that an attempt was made
to bride him in order to secure his
vote and influence as United States
Senator. And now a Compression
al Committee is in Oklahoma investi-
eating the charge. Already. suffi-
cient evidence has been developed to
practically sustain Senator Cores
charge.
But If Mr.. Gore were a Mississip-
pi State Senator it would be in or
der for the majority in the State
Senate. to charge him with false
hood, perfidy and bad character,
and to endeavor to expel him from
the constituencies crowd.
State Senator Bilbo charged that
an attempt had been made to bride
him, and a number of the political
freebooters in the Senate. immed-
lately sought, in most tricky man
ner to obtain testimony from the
District Attorney in order to shield
the alleged bribe-giver, and also
tried to expel Bilbo, but did not
succeed.
Dulaney, the man Bilbo charges
with bribery. has never come to
trial, although he was indicted
several months ago. His lawyers
and political friends have resorted
to every known method to keep
him from being tried.
Bilbo is the political witness
against Dulaney. He made oath
that Dulaney paid him S645 to vote
for Mr.. Percy for U. 5. Senator.
and that he (Bilbo) accepted the
money in order to ruin and expose
Dulaney.
Mr.. Percy. Gov. Noel, and other
partners in the common caucus
have denounced Bilbo in the sever
est terms as a discredited man. a
liar etc, and yet Dulaney's law
yers are afraid to let him come to
trial in the Kinds county Circuit
Court. -Vicksburg Post.

GOOD WORD FOR THE RAT.

Had it not been for q wire roll
used in dressing the hair, Gertrude
Brown, the 14-year-old daughter Of
P. 8. Brown, would undoubtedly
have lost her life when she was
thrown from her horse the other aft
ernoon.
It 30 happened that Miss Brown
had rolled her hair higher than
usual and 90 the wire rat received
the brunt Of the fall. The injury
was directly under the roll and was
jagged three-cornered hole. The
girl fell on the back Of her head
upon q loose stone in the street and
the wire roll covered with hair kept
the stone from fracturing the skull.

Votaries of dark caucus proceed.

Notaries of dark caucus proceed
ings are taking JUNCTION to their
souls because the call for a caucus
to elect United States Senator by
the last legislature was signed by
some Vardaman men. The anti
Nardaman press has gone SO far as
to publish the call with the names
Of the several signers, and have gone
into ecstasies because the names of
some good Vardaman supporters are
found among them. They have
put out this. believing that it will
fool somebody and wipe out the
dark stain of the caucus. They
have failed TO notice that the sheer
existence OF the caucus was not the
great sin. 1T was its questionable pro-
ceedings. A rattle snake of itself
is not such a bad reptile, il it is on
its good behavior. 1t is only when
aroused that the venom of its virus
becomes dangerous. The conserva-
tives, as they call themselves, were
aroused by the danger of defeat and
to obviate such result and preserve
themselves struck right and left
not right but always wrong. 1t was
more the doing of the caucus than
the caucus itself that has outraged
the people, and no kind of sophistry
will cloak its misdoings. No kind
of argument will excuse wrong
