A custom has arisen of late years,
chiefly among the idle rich, of going
into retirement or retreat once a
year. The disciples of the cult are
supposed to spend several weeks in
meditation and prayer. leading a very
simple, quiet life. Such a course is
apt to engender the habit of deep
thinking. | spent seven years in
meditation and grief and prayer, and
this experience, no doubt, has caus-
ed me to look back of effects, for
the cause, back of the words, for
their meaning.
l heard two sermons in this city
last Sabbath, both being delivered by
strangers. In the morning service,
the speaker endeavored to impress
upon the minds of his hearers this
principle, that ministers should not
place their own construction upon
the scriptures, but should give their
message as it was given to them by
the teaching of the church. He then
read a written statement from a re-
formed drunkard, who, from the mo-
ment of his conversion. had lost all
taste or desire for intoXicants. It is
true that there have been such cases,
but the very fact that it was consid-
cred necessary, to read aloud, from
the pulpit, such a statement, corrobor-
ating the fact, is proof positive that it
is not an ordinary occurrence. That
such a case is the exception. and not

living in the world, is a man of vile
character and a menace to society
1t is undoubtedly true that the vast
majority of men do respect and even
admire the working girl-admire her
for her pluck and vim, but it may be
that now and then some worthless
scoundrel may make sighting re-
marks. Fortunately this species of the
human viper is disappearing.
Many of the purest and brightest
girls and women in all the land are
compelled to work for living. Often
they are compelled to do this to sup
port a family and every man, who
is honorable in his thoughts and &C
tions, not only respects the girl who
works, but is an admirer of hel
splendid, sterling traits of character
At all times she can count on the
protection of the class of men who
are really and truly gentlemen.
All honor to the girl who works
who often helps support an unfor
tunate or helpless member of hel
family She has no superior in the
land, and she can count every true
man her friend.

"Let 'ern Go; It's a

Mississippi's scandal goes merrily

REPUBLICANS FIGHT OVER
 MINORITY LEADERSHIP

of the new Congress they cannot even cast their complimentary votes for Can non for speaker. They go so far as to assert that 1t makes no difference what a republican caucus does, they will not vote for Cannon, with the result that there will be several republican candi- dates voted for.
 Cannons closest friends are urging that he allow the use of his name but it Is doubtful if he consents. The old man seems to have enough. Representative Mann of Illinois and Representative Smith of Iowa are both being mentioned for the empty honor. They have trained throughout with the Cannon machine, especially MT Mann. Neither Is satis- factory to the insurgents. who may put up their own man with the prospects of his polling an unexpectedly large vote.s@st
 Arriving republican members are more bitter than ever. The regulars claim the defeat Is due to the agitation of the insurgents and the latter reply that they showed the regulars how to win and they spurned their suggested reforms. Il is fine fight as 1t stands, with the differences so clear cut as to preclude any possibility of harmony in this Con gress or the next.

 AEROPLANE FLIGHT

Richmond Va, November 26-Twelve hundred convicts, inmates of the Virginia state penitentiary, had their view of an aeroplane today when John B. Moissant sailed twice over the prison in a Bleriot machine. The flight was arranged by a local newspaper for the benefit. of the life prisoners. many of whom were locked within the gray walls long before the advent of even street cars and automo- piles.
 Only one man in the big penitentiary missed the spectacle. He is in the death chamber awaiting electrocution next week. Just before Moissant's flight be- gan he was notified that Governor Mann had declined to commute his sentence
 Refine Simeon, Roland Garros and Rene Barrier, the French aviators, raced over the city in their aeroplanes after Mcissant had landed. They crcled over the historic state capitol and returned to their starting point several miles away. The conclusion of this spectacular flight marked the ending of the aviation meet here
