JULES VERNE A MERE LAeGARD

When Jules Verne dreamed, little
more than a generation ago, that it was
possible for the globe-trotter to encircle
the earth in eighty days, the public
laughed. 1t read his book and marveled
over the imagination of the man, who,
after telling of exploits in absurd flying
machines and submarine craft, could
conceive of such impossible earthly
speed. That same public, little older
and much more experienced is now
wondering how Jules Verne could have
been so conservative in his imaginings.

LOST IN THE ATTIC

Mo answer: but do you think that
Jessie didn't hear? Oh, yes, she did,
for she was in the spare room all the
time. Mamma was calling. But she
kept very quiet there in the middle OF
the big bed
'Pll make believe I'm lost" she said
to herself MY mamma wouldn't let
me go to the party because had a cold
and sneezed a little, and she always
saws she knows best. so Ill just snow
her that [ can take care of myselt all
alone. and I'll live here today and to-
morrow and do as 1 want to in every
single thing"
While mamma said, "My baby must
be down in the kitchen, guess, .and
she went on with her sewing.
Jessie had her two favorite dolls with
her. a pussy cat and all the playthlngs
she thought necessary to bring 10 make
up for having no mamma.
Well. things went along quite COM
fortabiy for a little while. The dollles
had n ride in the cart twice around the
room, and then Jessie put them all TO
sleep under the table. Now this table
had a lot of corners to it, and when
Jessie tried to get up-bang went her
head, and the first thing she SAID was
mamma" while her little nose began
to t1nRie just as yOuhS OOSS "ASA 49,

No mamma to kiss the place ana
make it we'll. No mamma to say, I'm
so sorry, puss." o dear, dear! no
mamma to say anything at all.
81 wonder how soon it will be to-
morrow" she said to her pussy-cat.
But pussy was sound asleep in the sun
light. and didn't answer. Then she
made believe she was her own mamma
and said:
"Jessie, you mustn't sit on the bed,
dear, because you'll rumple the nice
bed clothes" and then she would say
in little different tone. you know,
eyes. 1 will, too" and go and jump
fight on the nice pillows.
But somehow 1t wasn't very good
fun-this doing just as she wanted to,
and having no mamma, and Jessie
went to the window to see If the sun
was anywhere near Mr.. Jackson'S
barn. When the sun went over Mr..
Jackson's barn Jessie always came up
stairs with mamma and went TO BED.
No, the sun was way up straight in
the sky.
'It must be time for supper, any
way" said Jessie, and so she ate the
piece of cracker she found in her
pocket and looked around for some-
thing else to do. She woke up her
dolls and took them riding again and
played with pussy, and tried to think
she was having a splendid time.
at wonder if 1 couldn't go downstairs
and lust take a little peep at my
mamma" she said 'Ill look through
the crack of the door and then come
right back again." SO she crept softly
downstairs to the sitting room and
walked on tip-toe to the door. There
sat mamma rocking away by the win
dow, mending one of Jessie's aprons,
which she had torn that very morning
going through the hedge after butter
cups.
Just then mamma looked up at the
clock.
ST wonder where my baby can be?"
And what do you think? Jessie gave
one spring and jump and was right
in mammals arms! She couldn't get
along without mamma, after all, you
see, not even for one little hour and
she never wanted to try again, even II

In Memory of our Darling
sister.

At Christmas time when all
the world seemed glad, our
home was made desolate by one
by the greatest sorrows our
hearts have ever known, The
Death Angel came to the home
of Mr.. w. M. Taylor and claimed
for God the spirit of his beloved
wife, the little childrens dear
mamma a loving daughter and
sister.
Addie Taylor, nee Addie
Jackson, was born Nov 16 1874
and was married to Mr. w M
Taylor Dec IL 1890 died

years they lived together and
no happier home than theirs was
to be found. 1t was indeed a
heaven on earth. She leaves a
devoted husband, three precious
little children, a loving father
The Neshoba Democrat., 1910-03-31

and mother, two brothers and
three sisters to mourn her loss.
But sister Addie was too pure
IN this world and God took her
to live with him in Heaven
where she will be free from all
her sutferings and the trials and
temptations that we still have to
bear will never more be hers.
She was a member of the Oak
Grove Ba ptist church for more
than twenty years. She loved
her church. and would always
go to the house of God as long as
her h eallh would permit. In
the graveyard at this old home
church she was laid to rest. the
beautiful burial service being
conducted by Rev J G Evans,
her former pastor.
a while before she died she
called her little children to her
bedside and talk ed to them, told
them to be good children and
meet her in heaven, and to Lena.
Jessie and little Dale we would
say, let the example your pure
sweet mamma ever tried to set
before you be a shining star to
guide you on and on till you hear
the Saviour say ut is enough
come home and live with mamma"
Strive TO live that each noble
deed of your lives will be "sweet
incense to her memory"
Through faith we know that
death is not final and we will
meet our loved and own some
sweet day when the waiting time
is over, when from sin and
sorrow free.
We shall meet beyond the
river there to dwell eternally.

Obituary..

William Welsh. Proprietor of
the Coh'ey Hotel. died at his
home IN Cotfayburg last Tuesday
night after "A two weeks illness Of
brain trouble.
William Welsh was born in
Mississippi, on February %, 1853.
died March 3, 1910; aged 81 years
and III days. He was united in
marriage to Miss Fannie MuIinix
on November Z, 1880. To this
union five sons We're born: Victor.
Lester, William, Carl and Homer.
all of whom are living and with
their mother mourn the loss of a
kind and inGulgent father and
husband. Mr.. Welsh has been
in business in Colf'eyburg for
several years, as restaurant keep
er and later as proprietor of the
hotel, and was regarded by his
associates as an upright man.
He united with the Christian
church at Civil Bend, years ago
and retained his connection with
that denomination to the time of
his death.
70 the noble broken hearted
brother, mother and sons. who
sit in sorrow where his footsteps
shall never again echo, we ex-
tend the sympathy Of one who
loved him as a brother. When
they have drained the cup, may
peace that passeth all under
standing come to them from One
who cares for each little sparrow
that falls.
He was devoted husband and
a kind indulgent father; to his
friends the soul of fellowship.
But the greatest Of all was he as
a man; it is this that those who
knew him best, most loved to
contemplate him. He believed
that the man who scatters flow
ers in the pathway of his fellow
men, who lets into the dark
places of life, the sunshine of hu.
man sympathy and human hap
piness is following in the foot
steps of his Master. His cheer
full, helpful life; his devotion to
his wife and family and kind
ness to everybody will long lin
ger as fragrant memory in the
home which his presence bright
ened, and which death has now
darkened.
Though he is gone his record
has been made and will remain
with us as a lasting treasure. In
his heart of hearts he carried
those he loved, and his hand was
never weary, his step never fail
ed in careing for and minister
ing to those who were in any
way depndent upon him.
Funeral services were held at
the M. E Church in Coffeyburg,
conducted by Rev. j. A. Moor
man, in the presence of a large
concourse of relatives and friends.
The body was laid to rest in the
Masonic cemetery to await the
final call. .-Coffyburg Enterprise.

given at each performance. Luna the
ater will give one show each afternoon
and two shows at night.
Niklausse Schilzony and his big
Hungarian band seem to have caught
on most substantially with the. Luna
audiences. His programs are happy
combination of the classical and the
popular, and all his selections are rem
dered with a martial spirit and artistic
precision good to hear. The band, in
it's bright Magyar uniform, is a bizarre
spot upon the quiet greenness of the
big park.

"The World and His Wife" is the
development Of a theme that embraces
all classes of society Scandal and its
far reaching effect on the innocent is
the theme of the play. The story deals
with the household of Don Julian in
Madrid. Don Julian, a rich banker,
lives in luxury with charming wife,
Teodora, and part of his household
there is Don Ernesto, loyal, true
friend to both of them But the gos-

AS A RUNcHER

We is one of the most bothersome
words in the language. 1t is respon-
sible for more MISUNDERSTANDING than
any other ten words put together.
An editor will start out conscien-
tiously to give his opinions. He will
begin by saying I'VE think" meaning
himself. A little later he will say
"we," meaning his advertisers. A few
lines farther down he will use the word
again, meaning the class of people who
read his paper.
Then his heart will soften and ex-
pand. He will become eloquent with
the use of we" meaning the whole
community or the entire human race.
Then suddenly he will bethink himself
and reflect that his is a party organ
and we" the party, is paramount
after all Whereupon he will divest
himself of opinions in which the people
at large have no interest, or at least no
profit.
All this is very confusing. The un-
suspecting reader struggles along try
ing in vain to separate the we-goats
from the we-sheep Sometimes that's
exactly what the editor is striving for
and sometimes he is the most confused
of all.

They play the same old war tunes on
the same old ffddles they used to saw,
and they wear the same old uniforms
of blue and gray in which they were
fighting each other a generation ago
Now, under the same flag, their only
emulation is to outdo one another in
making fun and fi5dling. And through
a maze of old tine fiddle tunes, they
go to a climax. where one Johnny Reb

afforded by the Gus Onlaw trio and es-
pecially by Mile. Fiji, the interesting

the novel offering at the Olympic next
week, beginning with the usual Mon
day matinee. 1T is another of those
late Gotham successes which Charles
Alphin secured on his recent trip east
Although Messrs. Alphin and Fargo
sold out their control of the Olympic

the managerial responsibilities, Charles
Alphin has been retained by the new
management in the capacity of pro-

productions.

chance to display his fun making pro-
clivities.
Walter Spencer, who was formerly a
great favorite with the Olympic audi
ences. will return as the baritone and
juvenile lead Of the company.

PANTAGES-Ther will be thirty
artists in the bill of vaudeville to be
presented at the Pantages for the week
starting with the afternoon perform
ance Monday. The reason for the un-
usual number is that the vaudevillians
compose the first of the road shows
being sent out by the Pantages circuit.
These acts are presumed TO be the
cream of the profession and have been
