CAT sLEPTON HIS BREAST.

The ancient superstition that the
common house cat is addicted to the
habit of inhaling the breath OF babies
and thus depriying the helpless humans
of life, was apparently substantlated
Yesterday by the experience OF Samuel
Rabinowitsch, OF Brooklyn. A cat
used Rabinowitsch' bosom for d bed
and his chin for a pillow during the
early morning hours and Rablnowltsch
is in a hospital recovering from his ex-
nerience. Rabinowitsch did not appear
for breakfast, and Mrs. Herman, with
whom he boarded, went to the door OF
his room and called him. Receiving no
response. she entered and found the cat
asleep on the boarder's chest.
At the entrance OF Mrs. Herman the
cat jumped from his place OF repose and
scurried to the kitchen. Mrs. Herr
man then attempted to arouse Rabino-
witsch who was having trouble with his
breathing. Finding it impossible to
awaken her boarder Mrs. Herman
went to drug store and explained the
case to the clerk. He advised her to
call up police headquarters. From
headquarters an ambulance was sent to
from the hospital and DIR. Cohen was
soon atthe house.
Ittook the doctor an hour to revive
Rabinowitsch by means OF artificial res
piration and heart stimulants Inc
patient was so weak it was deemed adj
yisabIe to take him to the hospital.

"My husband bought me one bottle OF
Cardui, the woman's tonic. ! took II ac-
cording to directions and now ! am III
good health.
al think Cardui is fine tonic for weak

And you are not the only lady who
thinks so, Mrs. Baker.
Thousands, like you, have written 10
tell of the wonderful benefit Cardui mas

Cardui contains no minerals, or otner
powerful drugs. II contains no glycerin

found to regulate tine wonlanly funcuons

CAnErs FouND CUILTY.

Four West Point cadets, all members
OF the first or senior class at the Mill
tary Academy, who have been on trial
before a general courtmartial Tor several
weeks past charged with drinking a
milk punch, " have been found guilty
and their dismissal from the academy
recommended to the president. Inc
papers we're submitted to the president
bv Adjt. Gen. Ainsworth, and the
president, reading the evidence, ap,
proved the sentence and then RENTED
il to what is perhaps the seyerest pun
ishment not involving dismissal in the
history of the academy. President
Taft. when he got the papers few days
ago. gave them careful study, and then
decided that dismissal was little too
severe. and so he figured out less
severe punishment which would not
carry with it dismissal from the
academy.

Meteor Flashes ACSOSS the Sky.

A flaming meteor flashed across
the heaven Monday morning about
nine o'clock and Notwithstanding
the sun was shining brightly, the
light from it was bright enough tC
attract attention, and the noise il
made was like the hiss from one
| the snakes DIR. DObbinS used tC
tell about seeing in the Valley OF
the Amazon, that was so large a
river the size Of the NOXubee would
rise two feet when the snake
crossed.
The course of the meteor as it
seemingly passed over Macon was
from east to west by southwest.
The writer while walking down
Washington street saw it and
thought it fell block or so west
in Mr.. c. B. DOrrOh's field back
of j. f. SheltOn's house. A ne
gro saw it while coming to town
from Prairie Point came to the
Beacon office to find out if it was a
message from heaven or ''if one of
them airShips was scheduled to
pass over" When told that it
probably the latter he remarked
that sit show do trabbled fast and
it makes a noise like a big fire
cracker gwine Off" After a min
ute of deep thought he also re
marked. "Wonder what the white
folks gwinter ter do next; days
runnin de cars all thrn de country
and now dey's gwine thru de air
like shootin star. Say, boss, how
you reckon dat man cOtch his
bref."
The daily papers of Tuesday
states that the meteor was sup
posed to have fallen near Pelehat-
chic in Rankin county, about $50
miles southwest of NOXubee. The
earth was shaken as if by an earth
quake.

Our Record Corn Crop.

According to the statistics Civ
en- out by the U. S. department
of agriculture at Washington yes
terday, Mississippi's corn crop for
1910 is the greatest in the history
of the state, exceeding that of
last year by more than 10000, 900
bushels.
The crop for the entire country
will be in excess of 5000, ,O09, 900
bushels, the largest ever harvest
ed. 1t is also shown that the
enormous surplus crop for 1910
is largely due to increased acre
age and better methods of cult
vation in the southern states.
1t is gratifying indeed to know
that Mississippi has performed
her full part in this great agri-
cultural achievement. Our own
economists have for years been
striving to impress upon the
southern farmer for years the
wisdom of diversifying his crops,
and evidently, the farmer has at
length been made to see it. In
stead Of planting corn almost ex-
clusiuely he is now planting corn
and other cereals as we'll as fod-
der grasses, that until quite re-
Gently he was compelled to buy
from the western agriculturist.
The immediate result of diversi-
fication is relief of the cotton
market from glut and higher
prices for the staple. If the
southern planter is growing less
cotton now than formerly. he is
getting a better return for what |
he grows.
But this new departure in
southern agriculture promises to
exercise a more permanent indu
ence in another direction. Our
section before the civil war was
great meat-producing section. At
the close of that conflict its live
stock had almost wholly disap-
peared. For years after the re-
construction period, owing to lack
Of capital, it had to be content
with the raising Of crops that
could find a ready cash market.
Hence, the south turned to cot
on almost exclusively. The re-
suit was over-production and low
prices. Diversifcation Of crops
las raised the price Of cotton, it
las furnished the south with cap
tai, enabling it to restock it's
arms with animals. and it has
ed to the raising Of practically
I'll the fodder that home con-
demands. Cattle rails
ng is again becoming one Of the
eading industries of the south,
nd those who are hoping for a
eduction in the cost of living are
Justified in looking in this direc-
ion. Unless all signs fail, out of
he south will come a fuller and
lence a cheaper supply of meats :
n the near future. Jackson
