Senator Tucker, representing Bilbo,
said he would not be able to complete
his case before noon of Thursday, so
the resolution went over until that
time. The defense then introduced
witnesses, many of them relatives, to
testify to Bilbo's good reputation.
Just before adjournment Anderson
moved that the investigation be closed
afternoon and consideration
of the resolution will begin the same
day. This was adopted.
ANONYMOUS LETTERS.
, The investigation reached the anony
nous letter stage today when Lee
Russell, of the house, received letter
dated at the Chickasaw club, Mem.
phis, March 80, in which wholesale
charges of boodling were made
against both senators and representa-
tives by name. Russell received it
today and read it when the house
met. 1t precipitated near riot.
Representative Van B. Bodie, Sen
ator Percy's campaign manager, yelled
for a stenographer and prepared this
statement:
'HThe person who wrote the un-
signed letter stating that had written
letter to Senator East asking him to
support James K. Vardaman for the
United States senate, is a coward,
slanderer, scoundrel, and a thief. He
was afraid to sign his name to letter,
/ cannot write to him in person, but
hope that he will see this
The speaker permitted the letter to
be read, but would not allow it to get
into the records. 1t developed that
many other representatives had re-
ceived anonymous letters which they
refused to make public.
GOV. NOEL A WITNESS.
After several character witnesses
had been introduced on the part of
the defense, Senator Anderson an
nounced that Gov. E. F. Noel desired
to be heard.
Gov. Noel was asked about any con-
versation he had with Representative
Cowart about being offered the bribe
of a judgeship for his vote in the
United States senatorial contest.
The governor said he was told by
former Governor Longino, on the
morning of January 13, that Cowart
had said that he (Cowart) had been
offered first a thousand dollars. then
a judgeship to vote against Vardaman.
The governor at once dictated letter
to Cowart, reciting the circumstances
and asking if Cowart was the authority
for the statement.
LAS l am the only one who could
give a judgeship,' said the governor.
Il wanted an answer. Cowart came at
once to my office and said he not only
never said such a thing, but no such
promise was ever made. Two lawyers
said if he would vote against Varda-
man they would endorse him for d
judgeship, but as they had 10 in
fluence, he disregarded the promise.

Talking as Cure
m the London Mirror.

From the London Mirror.
 Why are people who are much alone apt to get depressed and sad? Simply be- cause they don't talk enough.
 The more you talk-in reason, of course-the filter, and, therefore, the more cheerful, you will be-" said doctor who had studied the subject.
 You can see this in everyday life. The cheerful. hail-fellow-well-met man is the man who talks and goes on talking Don | be misled by the idea that people talk because they are cheerful. They are cheerful because they talk.
 The reason is simple enough. The talking apparatus is of course, connect ed with the brain. When you talk you stir up, by means of the connecting nerves. the blood vessels of the brain, which, consequently, demand more blood.
 Fresh blood is accordingly drawn in ano the circulation stimulated and more blood is created
 This necessarily makes for fitness and cheerfulness Of course, the cheerfulness created by talk reacts and makes you want to talk more. But the cheerfulness is created by talk.
 "An interesting case in this connection came under my notice only the other day. A rather sensitive excitable man was doing very hard work in an office and began to feel his work. He got worse and came to me.
 There was nothing the matter with him but so-called overwork. Now, over work never killed anyone yet-unless there has been worry with it, but there appeared to he no worry in this case.

By placing it in deeper water six to eight fathoms with the same kind of bait, and among the broken reefs, the hog fish and the porgy are captured The parrot fish are occasionally taken by batting the trap with mussels. but vegetable bait such as cactus with the spines re- moved, bananas and certain algaie are far preferable"
