awful suffering as with this eczema.

MARRIAGE.

A game of chance in which the
chances are about even. The man
leads at first, but after leaving the al
tar he usually follows breathlessly in
his wifes trail The rules are very
confusing. If masked player holds
you up some night at the end of long
gun, it is called robbery, and entities
you to telephone the police, but if your
wife holds you up for a much larger
amount the next morning at the end of
long hug, it is termed diplomacy, and
counts in her favor. In this, as in
other games of life, wives are usually
allowed more privileges than other
outlaws.-Judge.

NOEL TURNS UP SCANDAL.
Executive Finds Twenty Empty Booze
Bottles in the Capitol

Bottles in the Capitol.
Gov. Noel Sent the following message
to the Legislature Friday:
"To the Legislature of the State of Mis-
sissippi:
'Gentlemen-I herewith submit to you
for your consideration and action the
following subjects:
'Since the assemblage of this session
of the legislature / have been informed
several times of reports that intoxicat-
ing liquors were being brought to the
state capitol, and there dispensed from
some room or office. I conferred about
this matter with the keeper of the capt.
toll and some of the employees, asking
them to give me any definite information
that might be obtained.
Yesterday one of the porters of the
capitol was found with a large basket
containing about twenty empty quart
bottles, which had apparently contained
whisky or wine, recently used. The por-
ter was in the capitol building and about
to remove these bottles, which, by my
ulrectioH, were taken cnurSe Oh Dy one
of the employees of the capitol, Joe Nc.
Donnell, who has them now and can prob
ably furnish information on the subject.
SIT is the duty of the legislature, at
each session, to investigate the state Of
fees and the uses to which the state
capitol and other property of the state
is being put, and / suggest this matter
as a proper subject for inquiry at your
hands. Respectfully submitted,
sc. +. NOEL, Governor"

A GOOD CHANGE
A Change of Food Works Wonders

The wrong food and drink causes a
lot of trouble in this world. To
change the food is the first duty of
every person that is i'll, particularly
from stomach and nervous troubles.
AS an Illustration: A lady in Mo. has,
with her husband, been brought around
to health again by leaving off coffee
and some articles of food that did
not agree with them. They began u.s.
ing Postum and Grape-Nuts food. She
says:
For a number of years suffered
with stomach and bowel trouble
which kept getting worse unutil was
very i'll most of the time. About four
years ago l left off coffee and began
taking Postum. My stomach and
bowels improved right along, but was
so reduced in flesh and so nervous that
the least thing would overcome me.
"Then l changed my food and be-
gan using Grape-Nuts In addition to
Postum. lived on these two prin-
cipally for about four months Day
by day l gained in flesh and strength
until now the nervous trouble has en-
tirely disappeared and l feel that |
owe my life and health to Postum and
Grape-Nuts.
Husband is 70 years old and ne was
troubled for a long time with occa-
sional cramps, and slept badly. Finally
prevailed upon him to leave off coffee
and take Postum. He had stood out
for long time, but after he tried
Postum for few days he found that
he could sleep and that his cramps
disappeared. He was satisfied and has
never gone back to coffee.
Il have brother In California who
has been using Postum for several
years; his whole family use it also be-
cause they have had such good results
from it."

Worthless Ones Seek Disputes.
81 am an old Confederate; you are old
Federals, perhaps. We disagreed and you
are the victors, but we still think our
generals were good men and our people
were good people, and we do not dispute
that yours were just as good as ours.
Not at all. Our people are not quarrel
mig over these things down South at all.
I'VE have few 'blabmouth' fellows
that always want to make a fuss, but
they are not even worth cussing. So l
will not use any invectives against them.
We have them down South, but they are
not my sort, and have got more infu-
ence with the people than they have. I
talk with them as / talk to you. l tell
them the truth and the facts, and / tell
them we are friends here, and they do
not see things as we do.
eve want you to think well of us,
and there is no use of calling us traitors.
They used to call George Washington
rebel and a traitor, but we do not think
SO ourselves, and l do not think any OF
us fellows, while we may have been reb
els--I do not deny that-were traitors.
We thought we ought to fight for our
state, and we disagreed just on little
section of the constitution small thing
to fight about but it made an awful
big fuss when they got at it.
This is my fathers house. am
proud to be in it. / am proud to be
associated today with the men whom l
see around me. have read the papers
and have heard you all abused and cen
sured, but 1 find that this is the finest
working body of men l was ever asso-
ciated with.
"And this is our country. / know no
North, no South, no East, no West, but
love my country every part the best.
81 never let hate get into my heart,
so as to make me unhappy. That is the
reason have lived and kept young and
retained my youth and beauty while
you have gotten old and ugly, some of
you.
