Some of the Famous Sayings of
Americas Only Ex-Presidcnt

Theodore Roosevelt has faculty
for enumerating aNioms with such
downright sincerity and almost hyp-
motto force that they seldom sound
like commonplace. Here are some
that have or will become famous:
Sentimentally is the the most broken
reed on which righteousness can
lean.7
Il have no use for an ideal so lofty
that it can be taken out only on sun
day to admire, and must be kept in
cotton wool the remainder of the
week.
In the long run the fig tree is
judged by the fact that it produces
figs and not thlstles."
1T is idle to raise man unless the
woman is raised ut the same ume.'
"A practical man without Ideals is
a curse and the greater his ability
the greater a curse he Is"
"The impracticable idealist does
not always attain the degree Of beinS
a curse but invariably he becomes
a nuisance"
Beware of the man who does not
translate his words into deeds"
countries must be strong in order
to be good and to help the weak
against the overbearing."
"The poorest way TO face life is TO
face it with a sheer"
THE man who does nothing cuts
the same sordid figure in the pages OF
history, whether he be cynic, or top,
pr voluptuary.
There is little use for the being |
whose tepid soul knows nothing of
the great and generous emotion, of
the high pride. the stern belief, the |

Is it possible that some Of the Do-nothing
members of the national House of Represen-

plead for another term?
Is it possible that they are so badly in

election?
The daily papers are publishing news to
that effect; but somehow [ can't believe it.
The members who would like to come home
and 90 to electioneering have probably put
out those reports as feelers.

HOyV Pussy-FOOf HOr0ard Lied
OF HUrfyOeN

The further it goes, the worse it gets.
From blunder to blunder, and from lie to lie
reels Pussy-foot Bill. He would be we'll ad-
vised, if he 'came down., and let Tribble
have a walk-over. The more we dig up his
record, the rottener it is found to be. The
more we stir it, the worse it smells.
Left his post of duty-Pussy foot did
and came down to his District to try his hand
at deceiving his constituents. Made a long
speech which is bowling wilderness of lies.
Lon Livingston himself never Lied more
abundantly and variously, and brazenly. TO
most of his harangue, have replied through
the Atlanta Constitutions; but one important
matter came to my knowledge too late for
use IN that answer
Here it is:
Bill Towards father-in-law is not in the
classified Civil Service law, as Bill stated at
Hartwell Dr. King was in the classified
service under President Cleveland; but when
Mckinley appointed Henry Rucker negro, to
the high position of Collector of Internal
Revenue, Bills father law quit the classi-
fed service to accept place under the negro.
Bill H0aOard's father-i1a-zaaO is the person.
al dpp0intee Of that inS0zent cO0m Bills
tather-jn-zoqo gives has official bond, not to
the Government, but to the negro. Bills
tather-in-zaa0 IS not directly responsible to
the Government, but to that ias0zerot coon.
Bills fGtbeT-a11-l0aO takes has orders not from
the Government, but from the negro.
Now what do you think Of Pussy foot?
To become the personal appointee and un-
derling of this pompous negro, BilPs father
in-law gave up his independence under the
classified service why!
Because he made $50 per- month more By
doing 1t!
And Bill Howard was so pleased to have
his father-in-law earn $50 a month BIZ re-
manning the underzing Of a negro boss, that
he has horned off all applicants for Fuckers
job.
To the white man (McCalI) who tried to
get the place, and who had the best indorse-
ments, and who offered to retain Bills faith
er-in-law, Pussy-foot replied curtly-
"A bird IN the hand IS ac0rth taOo I'M the
bush. WE prefer to let matters rest As
THEY ARE."

.|NNERARITY TO
FIX CREMAT0kY
Will Probably Be Last Job of Repairs
Done by Builders of the Plant
Contract Soon Expires.

Probably the last job of repairs to
the city crematory, which will be done
al the expense of the builders, Messrs
Lewis & Kitchen, will be commenced
Monday, under the supervision of Mr..
A. H. lnnerarity.
The city crematOry has probably
furnished greater amount of trouble
to the council and annoyance to resi-
dents of the section where it is located
than has any one thing in the city of
Hattiesburg. Numerous repairs have
from time to time been made by the
builders, their contract specifying
that they were to keep the plant in
good condition for a period of three
years. The three years will expire
within thirty days, and the work
which is about to be done now will
doubtless be the last job done on the
plant at their expense.
Mr.. lnnerarity has received a tele-
gram from the firm instructing nim
to make any repairs which he may
think necessary and it is believed
that when this is done the city will
not be put to any further expense on
this account, for several months at
least.
