A BALLAD OF THE TRUE WOMAN.


Alone she faces death in fight
That life may be upon the earth,
Sole priestess of the ancient rife,
The primal mystery of birth.
4 Her hand, our cropping lips that guides
TO find their nurture at her breast,
Through Il the years sustains, decides
Prevents, holds us to our best.
Her smile, Madonna-like and pure,
She on her sleeping babe doth bend,
Is still the steadfast lamp and sure
And lights our lives from end to
end
Her tears, dear pearls of price, that
For pity of our childish pain,
In manhood are the balm for all
Our wounds and make us whole
again.
Let her, the fever and the fuss
Forsaking, bear her part again,
To mother us and marry us
And first and last, to make us men,
Francis Medhurst, in Harper S
Weekly.
Mrs. F. D. Lander will leave this
evening for Nashville.

Hard Is Xii.

The Hawaiian Islands have always
been famed for their freedom from
snakes. People and animals could
wander with impunity through val
leys and over hills and mountains. An
Importation arrived on the steamship
Alameda from California that might
have put an end tn such delightful
serenity. This was the arrival of three
f1imsy boxes containing fourteen large
living snakes. Eve of them rattlers.
Under a rule such animals arriving in
the territory of Hawaii are ordered to
be Immediately destroyed or deported.
I'm the destruction of these snakes"
says the narrator. 1--WE had surpris-
ing experience. | placed the boxes In
one Of our fumigating chambers and
applied charge of double density of
hydrocyanic acid gas. The snakes
were still alive at the end of fifteen
minutes, whereas if they had been
warm blooded animals they would
have suceumbed in less number of
seconds. They were again shut up.
and quadruple charge Of the same
deadly gas was administered. At the
end of one hour and half the fumi-
gator was opened. and several of the
snakes still showed signs of life We
then immersed them in 90 per cent al
cohol. That soon put an end to their
venomous existence" = Youths Com

Extraordinary inducements await
the home-builder: Fertile lands at
low values and on easy terms. Good
climate, good water, good schools;
and profitable returns from almost all
lines of agriculture, horticulture and
stock raising.
Mississippi has an area Of forty
six thousand square miles, with an
approximate population for 1910 of
over two million. From state and ma
tional government reports it will be
found that only about 81 per cent
of the area of the state is now under
cultivation, and that "a per cent of it's
surface Is susceptible to agricultural
advantages. More than " per cent of
the state is yet in native forests OF
standing timber, which is rapidly dis
appearing under the now brisk manu-
facture and active shipping of lum-
Der; thus, each year, making availa-
BILE hundreds of thousands of acres
OF fertile and productive lands for
agriculture; and offering the home
seeker advantages rarely found else.

Fertile Lands.

y These cut-over lands, for the most
part, are very fertile and easily cul-
tivated; having a formation Of light
loan OVERLAPPING red clay subsoils.
These same lands have given up a
lumber yield of ten to fourteen thous-
and feet per acre; and it is we'll
known that soils which produce this
amount of timber are capable of pro.
ducing all other growths, adaptable to
climate, in like proportion. When the
timber is removed the lands are Of
fered by the timber holder to the
home-seeker and agriculturist at
prices ranging from "a to $40 pei
acre, owing to locality and distance
from towns and railroads. In some in
stances these lands are bought up il
large tracts by individuals or com
panies for colonization purposes ant
then parceled out, through their owl
agents, to settlers. This method O.
settlement has proven beneficial il
many ways; and given the purchaser
good returns on his investment, a.
well as entire satisfaction to the col
onist.

Lowest Death Rate of Any State.


Mississippi is well supplied with
railroads, having as many as ten
trunk lines within it's borders: besides
many other minor lines of railway
having good connections with these
trunk lines. All of her counties have
good schools keeping for nine months
in the year under the free system.
The public highways are of fair class
and kept in good condition with the
average for country roads. The eli
mate is as good as one could wish
for; and the general health conditions
of the state are of the first order; the
national census reports showing Mis-
sissippi to have the lowest death rate
of any state in the Union-the per
centum of deaths being less than thr-
teen per year for each thousand popu-
lation. The seasons are long, enabling
the farmer to grow two, three, and
even four crops per annum from the
same ground. The rainfall average
is, yearly, sixty-seven inches; and is
well distributed throughout the grow
ing season. The excellent railroad
facilities enable the farmer to consign
his products to far-off markets, as
well as to dispose of them in the
markets of his nearby cities and
towns. The winters are very short
and of such mild nature as to enable
the farmer to work outside of cover
during the entire year, and the saw
ings made from lack of necessity of
housing and feeding stock during long
and severe winters is an important
item in his profit account.

tables in like proportion. While un-
der intense cultivation and modern
methods of farming the above figures
have been greatly increased; giving

Benefits Heretofore Overlooked.
The benefits and profits to be de-
rived from farming in the South have
been overlooked and neglected in the
rush of the homeseeker to the mucn
advertised West and Northwest; but
of late the advantages offeerd by the
Southern States have come more and
more into notice and consideration,
resulting in more farming and better
farming now being done over the en-
tire South This increase has been
materially aided by the work of the
Agricultural Department at Washing
ton, through the persistent efforts OF
the head of that department and the
work of its efficient and faithful corps
of assistants, in determining and dem
onstrating just what lines of agricul
ture and horticulture will give profit

tsnited to the soils of the South

Land Produces Every Necessary Staple
Cotton has been the prevailing crop
heretofore, and almost always pays
the laberer good profits; but of late
years diversified farming has made
rapid strides, and corn, oats, barley,
peas, alfalfa and other grasses, tobac-
co, fruits, berries and vegetables of
all kinds; as well as horses, cattle,
hogs and sheep have had attention,
and the results have been astonishing
to the old school planters. In fact
the Mississippi farmer can produce
on his own land almost every staple
and luxury necessary for the support
and comfort of his family. Being
thus supported and having the ad-
vantages derived from owning good
lands at low prices. good and health
full climate, sufficient rainfall for all
growing purposes, long growing seas
ons, short mild winters, good neigh
bors, good markets for everything he
may produce, good schools and
churches, and excellent railroad ac-
commodations, the energetic cannot
fail to prosper and build for himself
a moderate fortune.

CLEVER POLLY.

Polly was a parrot who lived in
a big apartment house, and on all
the nice days during the summer
Polly sat in her wire cage on the
back porch. Like most parrots,
she quickly learned to initiate
people. and one day quite aston
ished her mistress by calling "Po-
tatoes, Cabbages, apples-hooray!"
just like the huckster who drove
his wagon down the street every
morning.
Polly liked company, md she
was never so happy as when the
children would play in the yard
near her porch.
One of the children, Nora. often
brought Polly bit of cracker or
apple, and the bird would put
down her green and yellow head
to have Nora scratch"
One day Nora was busy doing
some tasks for her mother when
she suddenly heard her name call
ed. But none of the children who
were playing in the yard had call
ed her. Again. when all the chill
dren had gone. she heard some
one call. Thinking someone was
playing a joke, she stood in a cor
ner of the porch to see whom the
culprit might be.
Then what do you suppose she
discovered? Polly. That clever
bird had heard the children call
her favorite Nora and so she
had initiated them.
You may be sure that pleased
the little girl so much that Polly
was given a larger slice Of apple
than usual as a reward.
