Navy Building in Europe.

The Hungarian delegations have ap
proved the Austro-Hungarian naval
program, which calls for an expendi
ture of $65,OOO,OOO in building foul
|dreadnoughts, three fast cruisers and
a number of torpedo boats in the next
six years. A squabble with the Aus
trian delegations has arisen over the
partition of contracts for the new
work. Admiral Montecuccoli is &C
cused of promising Hungary larger
share than her contribution to the
work entitled her as an inducement to
pass the naval budget. The Austrian
delegations refused to ratify the deal
and Montecuccoli threatens to re-

upon Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable

Sailing Backward.

Square rigs ships can, in case OF
necessity, be made to sail rudder fore

where ships have sailed in that re.

case was recorded of such backward
sailing.
One instance where the maneuver
was employed by genius In battle
tactics rather than under the need OF
marine disaster is a brilliant chapter
in the history of Old Ironsides. This
account is taken from Maclay's naval
history:

In Willie .Edouin's production of
Dreams" which enjoyed a long and
Lucrative prosperity, there was a night
ly feast on the stage. of which the
principal item was property"
chicken made of canvass and with de-
tachable legs and wings. Obviously
the actors could not eat them, and
each night after the scene they were
gathered up and replaced on the bird,
ready for the next performance. The
real edibles were generally apples,
bread and gingersnaps, for the pur-
chase of which a generous manage
ment allowed the property man 25
cents a night. James, as this func
tionary was called, used to pocket the
money, according to members of the
company, and feed them stale biscuits
and crackers taken from the table OF
the dollar a day hotels in which he
made his residence en- tour. Member
after member of the company COM
planned to Mr.. Edouin, but each was
treated with scant consideration, for
Mr.. Edouin did not have to eat in the
play. His share in the banquet was
a glass of lemon soda, served in place
of wine, and the property man was
generally wise enough not to offend
the star by any substitution.
One night, however, during the ban
quet scene, when Mr.. Edouin, as
grandfather pulled the cork of the
stage champagne, disagreeable odor
and whitish smoke came forth. Some
thing had gone wrong with the lemon
soda. Mr.. Edouin discovered at once
that there had been a mistake. He
pushed his own glass aside and start
i ed to fill the other glasses. ThereupOn
his wife, who was never behindhand
when there was chance for fun,
leaned across the table and remarked
quite audibly:
"You are going to give up treat to-
night, grandpa; don't forget yourself"
Interpolating lines meant fine of
SIS, and Edouin glared, but he raised
the bottle to fill his glass. The last of
the liquor was thicker and apparently
more unpleasant than the first. AS
Edouin appeared to hesitate his mis-
chevious wife sprang to her feet with
a new Interpolation:
"A bumper grandpa" she cried,
shaking the gray curls she wore as
grandpa's wife. II demand that you
shall first drink bumper to the
health of the old wife who has stood
at your side more than fifty years."
The house applauded, and there was
no getting out of it. Edouin drained
the glass, then with a look of murder
in his eye, vanished from the scene.
, IA moment later he returned, dragging
with him the property man, who had
been standing in the wings, dressed
as country pumpkin, ready to drive
the sleigh to the next scene.
Here, mother" said Edouin, heres
some one who wants to drink your
health. too" Selling bowl, he drain
ed the contents of the bottle into it
and then, deliberately emptying all the
glasses into it, handed it to James.
Drink that, my lad" he said cheer
fully, adding under his breath, IF you
leave a drop of it you'll be dis

is absolutely reliable, a Texas man fur
nishing it. 1t has been in his family

follows:
TIC twenty gallons of water add 80
pounds of salt, eight pounds of soda, 5
pounds of saltpeter and 10 pounds of
brown sugar or one gallon of molasses.
Pat all this in a large kettle and let it

A new FIRE
INSURANCE FIRM
Made up of Good Men and They Rep.
resent Big Companies.

The insurance firm of Thomas & Perry
was organized last August. 1t is the
youngest insurance agency in Grenada.
Its members are two of Grenada's best
known and time-honored citizens, and
there is little doubt that they will re-
ceive their full share of the insurance
business. They represent such well-es'
tablished companies as the German ALI
ance, North British and Mercantile, ORR
ent, Providence and Washington, as well
as others equally as good. They are
also prepared to write bonds of all kinds.
Mai. b. F.. Thomas, the senior men,
Der of the firm, was born in Sumpter
county, Alabama, and moved with his
parents to Grenada county when he was
only three years old. Until 1875 he
was engaged in farming, after which
time he moved to Grenada, and for three
years was deputy sheriff; then he and
his brother, A. V. B. Thomas, estab-
lished themselves in the grocery BUSH
ness, which was conducted uhuer '"e
name of Thomas Bros. for twelve or fiji
teen years. Success crowned their ef-
forts, and during the time they con-
Quoted a store it was recognized as be-
ing the leading business of it's kind in
this section. After selling the grocery
business, Maj. Thomas became the pro-
prietor OF the Chamberlain Hotel. Later
he erected the Grenada Hotel, and dur
ing the many years he was a hosteler
he enjoyed a large patronage. Today he
is recognized as one of the most popular
men that ever ran a hotel in the state.
He numbers his friends from the Lakes
to the Gulf, and few there be that have

wider acquaintance than he. He is one
of the most prominent citizens of the
county and deservedly holds a warm
place in the hearts of the people of the
town and county.
Mr.. J.. c. Perry, the junior member,
was born and reared in the county and
is one of the leading men of affairs of
this section. He is a director and one
of the original founders of the Grenada
Bank, which is one of the largest bank
ing institutions in Northern Mississippi.
He is president of the Grenada Oil mill,
an institution which from its inception
has been a success. He owns much real
estate, and it is only just to him to
state that there are few, if any, men
in this section who have done more for
Grenada's growth and Advancement than
he. Both as a business man and as a
citizen he is held in the highest regard.
He has served the people both as a
circuit and as a chancery clerk, and made
one of the best officers the county ever
had.

ance will find the service rendered by
this firm uneXcelled. They have well
