"keepin9 Up Appearances"


The sin of excepting up appearances"
or trying to do SO, is very apparent to
the thoughtful man. This fact is per-
haps as patent to the mind of even the
average layman as his knowledge of the
simplest maxim. That this sin has re-
duced families to beggary, has sepa-
rated husbands and wives who formerly
zealously loved, and has wrecked the
life of many a promising youth, even
landing him behind the bars, cannot be
denied. That this is well born out
fact, growing in its propensities through
out the length and breadth of our land
| makes it the more lamentable.
How much more would we have over
which to feel thankful to-day if every
person in this great Union lived we'll
within his or her means. But such is
not true and therein is one of our great
est curses as Nation.
The following timely comment on
this subject is from the columns of the
Forth Worth (Texas) Star-Telegram:
Hundreds of young men are in the
penitentiary as the result of trying to
keep up appearances.
s'They made their bluff among their
friends and associates that they were
prospecting far beyond the degree re-
Elected by their monthly pay check, and
foolishly thought they had to make good.
"They dipped into the banks or the
company's funds, they forged their en-
ployer's name, thinking at the time
they would pay it back by lucky turn
of the market and now they are pay
ing it back in grinding toll, in prison
stripes, in the shame of relation and the
coin of women's tears.
"There's no use in bluffing. Be what
YOU are, and be not ashamed of your
daily task and your daily wage, for il
you are, you are being impelled daily te
| condition of real shame.
: "Young wives, you can't escape your
3 share of the responsibility.
e eff you are more anxious to impress
q YOUR friends with the fact that you have
!, made good catch than you are to hell
j your husband stay out of debt, you viii
: remember it when the Judge pronounce
e sentence.
: "Appear merely what you are, striv
n ing always to attain better place
where you can appear to better advant
n age. If you try to fool society by ap
a pearing what you are not, society ma
i be revenged."

$4,000 The PRICE OF
FROST BITTEN TOES

Jackson, Miss, April ga set of
frost-bitten toes is worth $4,000, ac-
cording to a verdict rendered in the
Yazoo county circuit court in the case
of J. B. Guthrie VS.. the Yazoo & Mis-
sissippi Valley road.
Mr.. Gutherie thought his toes were
worth five times that amount, having
asked for damages in the sum of $780,
900 in the original bill of complaint,
but the jury figured it down to $4,000,
or an average of 5000 per toe, proba-
bly, taking into consideration the fact
that some toes were not so badly frost.
bitten as others.
The declaration alleged that Mr..
Guthrie acquired his frost-bitten ex
tremities while waiting for a train in
fireless depot at Phillip City. The
train was several hours late, no other
refuge was available, the waiting room
was cold and cherries, and as a con
sequence Mr.. Guthrie's pedal extremi
ties were both frozen and frost-bitten
The case will be appealed to the Su
preme Court.

PRISONERS Will
HEAR GOOD MUSIC
Charms OF Music To Be Tried AS a
Method of Reforming The
Criminals

jackson, Miss, April z9.-'Music
hath charms to soothe the savage
breast" runs the lay of the ancient
minstrel,-and the plan is to be tried
on the prisoners at the Rankin county
farm, according to Miss Emily Butt,
one of the most active prison-workers
in the entire state, in an interview
yesterday afternoon.
Miss Butt has been visiting the
Rankin farm on Sunday afternoon and
conducting a Sunday school service
for the prisoners for several months.
She has met with great success, hav-
ing undoubtedly inspired many Of the
unfortunate residents of the farm to
live better lives. She has taught
them the pure, unadulterated gospel of
good living, righteousness and truth,
and has been assisted in her work by
some of the leading Jackson ministers.
The sole lack of the Sunday service,
however, has been a competent musi-
clan, and try as she might, Miss Butt
has been unable to find a musician in
Jackson willing to devote her time and
energies on Sunday afternoon to the
playing of hymns and special music
for the prisoners. Somehow, the spirit
of brotherly love gets dimmed when
the sunshine and beautiful roads of a
Mississippi Sunday make their call to
the pleasure-loving humanity of the
state, and the prisoners have sorely
missed this feature.
Miss Butt, not respondent, has per-
sisted in her efforts until she has at
last met with merited reward. The
Chaminade Club, one of the popular
musical organizations of the city, has
become interested in the Rankin Sunday
school and have agreed to permit Miss
Butt to take one of their members to
the prison farm each Sunday to fur
nish the music for the Sunday school
service.
Aside from her activities in the
Rankin county farm religious work,
Miss Butt is still an earnest advocate
of the Juvenile Reformatory and is
working diligently that the matter may
be brought to successful elimination
at the next term Of the legislature.
incidentally" said Miss Butt yester-
day, the movement is receiving great
support IL the state from Mr. Harris
Dickson, the genial writer of the "Old
Reliable" stories in the Saturday Eve
ming Post. Mr.. Dickson will attend
the State Teachers Convention in
Jackson next week and has agreed to
deliver an address on the sole theme
of the Juvenile Reformatory."

instances four Of the justices have
each written dissenting opinion, but
the usual custom Is for one to write
It and announce that the others con-
cur.
Before a case Is reached for argu.
ment the justices familiarize them
selves with its records and briefs, and

ion he makes study Of the case. long
