In this connection W. H. Watkins,
! attorney for Major Vardaman, in the
suit brought by Judge Brame. in the
name of the State, gives out the fol-
lowing statement:
Gov Vardaman does not fear a full
and complete investigation made by
any judicial tribunal or impartial leg
islative body in regard to his handling
of any trust funds committed to his
care. He felt however, that the pro
ceedings instituted by Gov Noel were
purely political in character, without
any reference to an impartial investi-
CATION of the facts, but purely with
the desiP, if possible, to embarrass
him with the incoming legislature.

Vardaman states that he will himself,
before he is elected to the Senate, re-
quest an investigation of all funds
committed to his care, but he is de-
termined that Gov. Noel shall not, by
any judicial proceedings, coerce him,
especially since all his receipts and
vouchers have been out of his posses
sion for many years, and he would be
unable to give his accounts a careful
investigation until he can have access
to all the records retaining thereto.
"The injunction issued by Chancel-
lor Lyell was based upon the ground,
largely, that the State was attempting
Court purely for political purposes,
which is not to be tolerated under any
circumstances. This was very mani
fest by the fact that the states at
torneys. the very day that process
was served on Gov. Vardaman, gave
notice of the taking of dispositions.

Gov Vardaman's attorneys offered
to go before Judge Lyell on the first
day of court to be held on the first
Monday in January, 1912, and submit
the entire matter to the chancellor on
oral testimony in open court, thereby
waving the taking of any dispositions,
and affording the state an early OPP
portunity for the Investigation if it in
good faith so desired. This PROPOSE
ton was CURLY declined by the rep
resentatives of the state, which made
1t very evident to Gov. Vardaman and

Governor to continue to harass and
embarrass him purely for political

POPULAR, BUT "BAD FORM

Many girls are bad FORM" with
out suspecting it. Here are few
things, little considered, that are
popular but not in good taste.
Inquisitiveness. Have you never
pried into personal affairs by ques-
tons?
Boisterous. Noisy fun, especially in
public, is common in both senses OF
the word. A girl can have a good time
without laughing and talking at high
pitch.
Practical joking. What seems pure
wit to the perpetrator to the victim
is stupid horse play or downright
malice.
Intrusion Some girls have no re.
spect for privacy. They burst into a
closed room without knocking, offer
their society unasked, and will inter
rupt the most earnest conversation
without a perfunctory Il beg your
pardon
Disloyalty It is ill-bred if moth

A PLEASANT LITTLE STORY.

When the conductor came to collect
the young lady's fare she discovered
that she had left her pocketbook at
the Office where she works as stenog-
rapher. It is a predicament not I'M
common with city dwellers, but the
rest of the story as told takes new
and agreeable turn.
''Why, I'm afraid I haven't any
money with me-" she said, looking
very much embarrassed.
The conductor said nothing, but
stood there and waited.
Il guess I'll have to get off," said
the girl IT have left my pocketbook

coming from across the aisle. 81 got

She looked at the boy and took the
nickel. THANK you," she said. "Tll

GOOD MANNERS.

Girls often fail to realize the impor-
lance of good manners. The good
hammered girl will not talk in loud,
breezy tones, because she will know
that in doing SO she is disturbing
others. She will not hurry through
the streets in bold and pushing man.
ner, nor stand on the pavement with
group of giggling girls, because she
knows she is making of herself nui-
sance. Nor will she enter shops and
engage in high-pitched conversation
plentifully sprinkled with slang and
incommoding other customers by
blocking the counters. Once a girl
accepts consideration as a foundation,
says the Pittsburg Despatch, she will
soon find herself possessed of a
charming personality.

The heart in my bosom is dreary,
And | long to be up and away.

l seek but one chance to repay;
For last night my soul wakened and

Oh, the wrongs that can never be

And the wounds that can never be

The darkness that could have been
lighted;
The truths that too late were re.

The burdens so readily shifted;
And the thorns that l should have
withdrawn;
The anguish that might have been
lifted
From a heart that was thoughtlessly
torn;
The clean things my foolish feet
muddied
The innocent ones judged wrong;
The home that with sorrow I flooded;
The deaf ear I turned to life's song;
The struggler so easily aided;
The reckless one I might have
checked;
The heartlessness that I paraded;
The dear ones hurt with neglect;
The flower I robbed of it's beauty
And tossed in a day to the slime;
The hour | faltered in duty;
The whim whose indulgence was
crime.

THE EVIL OF KEEPING LATE
HOURS.

One that stays out until late en-
dangers his good name What sort of
persons do you generally find out late
at night? Thieves, ibertines, evil
doors. Every one that does evil
hateth the light, that his works may
not be reproved." Is it very creditable
to young people to haunt the streets
at a time when such persons are
astir? Certainly not; it is, on the con-
trary, disgrace to be found in such
company. Besides being out late at
night brings young people into all
sorts of dangerous temptations to sin.
Health is endangered. Exposure to
the night air and a consequent loss of
necessary sleep are by all medical
men considered injurious to health.
Persons out late meet with drunken
men and often get into quarrel; they
are sometimes roughly handled, and
even seriously injured. But the prin-
cipal danger is to the virtue of the
young person who makes a practice
of being out late at night. His asso-
ciates are generally people of disso-
lutte habits who know nothing of the
fear of God, and to whom uprightness
of character is a term without mean
ing. Their lips overflow with boasting,
their conversation is vulgar and low,
their jokes are coarse and improper
tsThey have sharpened their tongues
like serpent, the venom of asps is
under their lips Cps. cxxxix, ~.
'The mouth of the fool bubbleth out
folly prov. XIV, p. What can be
learned from such companions? Their
example is bad, and, unfortunately,
influences many a Christian young
man or woman for evil
It is further an immoral habit, be-
cause it is against the order which
God has established God appointed
the night for rest. No sooner has the
sun set than a delightful quiet comes
over nature; the birds repair to their
nests, the flowers close their calyces
and droop, man who has labored all
day feels the need of rest The person
who prepares to go out at this time
separates himself from the order OF
nature He who has worked during
the day is entitled to rest during the
night But the principal objection to
wandering about at night from a
moral standpoint is that it gives oc-
casions to sins which young people
would be ashamed to commit in the
daytime. Young men go about from
place to place drinking and carous-
ing; they frequent places of doubtful
character; are found in company in
which they should be ashamed to be
seen. Much that is profane and in
famous goes under the mantle of
darkness. Language is heard that
should bring the blush of shame to
the cheeks of the Christian youth.
They do not stop at words, they pro-
coed to deeds, "rioting, chambering,
and impurities" of which the Apostle
speaks (Rom. xiii, LAY.

DEPENDABLE.

Eleanor is such a dependable girl"
What desirable adjective depend
able" is! Depend" means to hang
from. If you put nail in the wall
and it goes merely through the plaster
the mirror or picture hung from it is
likely to fall and be broken. The nail
is not dependable.
If, instead of going through plaster
only, it had gone into firm wood, it
would have held So character, to be
dependable, needs to be clinched firm
ly in truth. A dependable person may
be relied on to hold, to be true to a
trust reposed.
The dependable girl does what she
is told to do, when the order comes
from one in authority; and she keeps
her own promises. How many girls
are there who do not say, II meant to,
but" That sbut' may have various
excuses following it--they all mean
the same thing-the girl is not to be
relied on. The dependable girl does
not lose the important letter she is
bringing from the post Office. She does
not borrow some rare volume from
your library and leave it lying in
public place. 1t is the dependable girl
who makes the best kind of friend.
She does not reveal condolences. She
has an instructive sense of what is
proper to speak of, and what should be
kept to oneself. She stands up for
others where she truthfully can, and
keeps silent if she cannot approve.
This girl pays her debts. She does
not keep needy person waiting for
the money due her for work.
If an errand has been forgotten, 60
back and do it, even if you have to re-
trace most of the way. You will not
forget next time. Be careful about
making promises think well whether
you can perform them, but once made,
fulfil them to the letter.
Many rewards attend on dependable
ness. A girl possessed of it is likely
to be favorite. She may be called
upon to do more than others, but she
is everywhere welcome and the de-
mands are an honor. Perhaps the
highest reward is increasing strength
of character AS the girl goes on to
womanhood the stress of life becomes
more apparent. Some day persons in
grief or misfortune will need the sup
port of her strength, and she will not
disappoint them. 1t is of the nature
of dependableness to become more and
more dependable.
