To die without rebellion and without
weakness is the masterpiece of a man
A mountain guide whose name the
London Mail does not mention in mar
rating the story of his heroism, with
two others, was leading a party over
one of the most dangerous passes of
the higher Alps.
The men, as is usual were tied to-
gether by long rope. AS they scaled
a wall of ice they slipped on the edge
of frightful chasm. The guide was
at the end of the rope.
Without his weight there was a
chance for the others to regain their
footing; with it his experienced eye
told him there was none. With in
slant courage he drew his knife from
his belt and said quietly to the man
next him:
Tell mother how it happened, Ed
mond."
He cut the rope and fell, never to be
seen again.

MONUMENT DAY
TO Be OBSERVED
viii be the Event of the Week Among
Schools of state.

Jackson, Miss, Feb. 6-The most
notable public occasion in Mississsip-
pi during the current week will be
the observance of Friday, Feb. 10, as
Woman's Monument Day in the public
schools Of the state.
On the day named an effort will be
made through the school children to
raise funds for the monument to the
women of the Confederacy to be erect
ed on the grounds at the new capitol
building, at a cost OF about $4,000.
Prof. J. \. Powers, state superin-
tendent OF education, recently sent
out an address urging a general OBJ
servance of the day in the public
: schools, and interesting programs are
being prepared for the event, consist
ing of Southern songs, recitations,
and addresses by prominent ex-Con-
federates.
The raising of funds on the day
named will be confined exclusively to
school children. All citizens who are
willing to contribute to the worthy
cause are urged to give their sub
scriptions to the children, and it is
expected that a goodly amount will be
raised. The committee has in hand a
little more than $4,000, or about one
tenth of the amount needed.
