PLEA MADE FOR
BOYS OF CITY
BY Mrs. Schoff, of Philadelphia, Who
Was a Recent Visitor To
Hattiesburg.

In a recent visit to Hattiesburg,
had the pleasure of meeting the boys
and girls of the High School. In a
few years they will be called on to fill
places of responsibility in the city and
state, and while school is doing much
to fit them for life, theer are other
phases of education equally necessary.
Boys and girls need wholesome amuse-
ment They need to have the energy
directed toward useful rather than
harmful amusements. 1t is most in
teresting period of life, yet most
fraught with temptation and danger.
Fill the leisure hours full of happy
wholesome pleasure, and there will be
neither time nor taste for the other
kind. | advised the boys to organize
boys club, to have library con-
nected with it, to ask some generous
citizen to give them the use of va
cant lot for a ball ground or tennis,
to do what they could to help younger
boys to be orderly and to keep them
from bad habits, to try in all ways to
make themselves helpful in their town.
know so well the wonderful posi-
bilities for service in those young peo-
pie.
Let them manage their club, choose
their officers, learn parliamentary pro
cedure and take for their motto or
purpose service to others, self-improve-
ment and the promotion of wholesome
amusement for the boys and girls.
am going to send them a hundred
books as a nucleus for their library.

Will not some of the fathers and moth
ers of Hattiesburg interest themselves
in this, and see that room is provid-
ed for their use, and place for out
door sports? Help them to remember
the years of youth as full of joy and
inspiration for the duties which life
win bring them. There might be eve
nings when under the chaperonage of
fathers and mothers boy and girls
might meet together for games or
plays. Youth is bound to find amuse-
ment, and the part of wisdom is to
aid in making it safe and wholesome
I hope the boys club may have many
members, and that there may be ia
theirs and mothers who will act as an
advisory council and aid in making it
a means of pleasure and benefit to its
members and the community.

LIVELY CAMPAIGN
in windy CITY
MayoraIity Election Takes Place in
ApriI--Two Parties Have
Out Tickets.

Chicago, ILL.,, Feb. 20.-One of the
liveliest mayorality campaigns that
Chicago has seen in years entered
upon the whirlwind stage today, with
but one week remains before the can
didates of the two parties are chosen
at the direct primaries. The election
will take place early in April.
The primaries are attracting a vast
amount of public attention. The can
didates favored by the Republican or
ganization is John R. Thompson. Be-
sides him the two stronest Republi-
can Candidates are John F. Smulski,
who has long been prominent figure
In Republican city politics, and Alder
man Charles E. Merriam. Mr.. Mer-
RAM is professor in the University OF
Chicago, and a writer on political sci
ence. AS head of the so-called Mer-
RAM Commission, he laid bare the
graft in the city administration and
brought about the removal of several
city officials.
The Democratic contest brings to
life again the old rivalry between for
mer Mayor Carter Harrison and for
mer Mayor Edward F. Dunno. Mr..
Harrison, who was mayor for several
terms, following the footsteps of his
for ie, in candidate thn in
dependent Democratic ticket.
Ex-Mayor DUNES campaign has the
slogan, Nobody wants him but the
people, Mr.. Dunno is a lawyer.
When mayor he made good record.
He lowered the telephone rates, and,
although he vetoed seventy-five-cent
gas, an ordinance was passed giving
the people a reduction from 81 to So
cents
Another leading aspirant for the
Democratic nomination is Andrew ].
Graham, who is the choice of Roger S.
Sullivan, member of the Democratic
National Committee. Mr.. Graham is
a private banker and is credited with
corporation leanings. His opponents
for the mayorality nomination allege
that he has spent upwards of 100000
in the ante-primary campaign.
Among the issues figuring more OF
less prominently in the campaign are
graft and vice, cheap gas, lower tele
phone rates, subways, and universal
transfers, the smoke nuisance and cold
cars.

SOLD HIS Wife And
Child FOR Is CENTS

Omaha, Neb., Feb. 20.-Dick Wat
son, of Omaha, has sold his wife and 49,
months-old baby girl to Charles Roose-

the quarter with which to purchase
the couple and take them home with
him, and all parties seem satisfied.
Watson and his wife, married three
years ago, have not lived happily. Last
Monday, after a row, Watson, in a
spirit of bravado, said:
I'D sell you 70 quarter, if any one
will buy"
Roosevelt heard the remark, and
said if he could borrow the money he
would take the bargain. Roosevelt got

FREE AMUSEMENT
GIVEN PASSENGERS

New York, Feb 20.-Passengers on
an a." train were given lot of free
amusement the other day by an elder
ly lady and an officious guard. Upon
entering the car the woman looked in
tently at the floor and then stopped
and picked up something that glitter
ed very much like gold coin. The
guard noticed the incident and &C
costed the woman, telling her that all
articles found in cars by passengers
must be turned over to guards, who

in turn, are to take it to the lost prop
erty room of the company.
The woman politely but firmly de-
INJURED to this proposal, intimating
that there was no means Of identified
ton OF the coin she had found, and
that it rightfully belonged to her I'M
less the loser could identify it. More
over, she intimated that she had no
assurance that the guard would not
keep the coin.
Mile after mile the train sped down
town, and the argument continued,
good naturally on the part of the wo-
man, angrily on the part of the guard.
The latter threatened to call police
man, but the elderly lady only smiled,
and kept the coin tightly clutched in
her hand. The woman evidently en-
joyed the situation immensely, as did
the other passengers. but the guard
was finally threatened with apoplexy.
Upon nearing her station the woman
ostentatiously took the number of the
guard and informed him that she would
turn the coin over to him, but she
would make it point to see to it that
the lost money was turned over by
him to the lost property room, and
not used by him to his own selfish
ends.
Then she handed him new shiny
Lincoln cent.

The present force is working on proposed changes to the south Of the city and on changes of plans as to the entry into the city.
 K. H. Jones returned to Tucson yesterday after a trip to Benson made the night before. and was seen at the HeiGel hotel where he has been stopping when in Tucson. He states that the work for himself and his ccrps Of engineers is but just beginning and said that his force would be increased to three times it's present strength. in a short time.

 Mr- Jones expressed his satisfac. ton al the feeling that exists in Tucson and regretted that he was not able to meet the members Of the Holding committee at the Old Pueblo club the night before as he had been invited to.
 One thing Mr Jones made plain and that was that no time would be lost in starting the work or in it on to completion.

PINKERTOH PRAISES
 SCOTLAND YARD
Truly Wonderful He Says, "the Way Coronation
 Crowds Behaved

NEW YORK. Aug. 4.-William A. Pinkerton, head of the detective agency, has returned aboard the Gel tic. having spent the last two months in London studying Scotland Yard methods. He found that the Eng fish police have stiil few wrinkles up their sleeves that might be worth the while Of New York detectives to learn.
 "on coronation day I stayed for twelve hours in Scotland Yard" :" said MT. Pinkerton, and was thunderstruck to find that not one complaint of robbery or fighting Ras received. The crowds had been out ali day and the previous night. and not one case of a pickpocket was reported In all my life I have never seen such efficiency It vas truly wonderful the way in which the crowds were handled"
 Asked if he thought such a crowd would be handled as well in New York. Mir. Pinkerton said:
 A crowd such as the coronation crowd could not he handled us well as the London police handled it by any one"
 He said he was glad to see that Second Deputy Police Commissioner Doughterty was doing such excel lent work. and remarked that he had never come across a case like the murder of A. F. Jackson by Paul Geidel in the Hotel Iroquois.
 Moving picture shows and sensa. tional novels cause such crimes as this he added Especially the low picture shows, where pictures of robbery and violence are the greatest attraction
