Now that Nardaman's defeat is as.

Leroy Percy.
Why?
Because in character he is equal to the
riOr to any.
His work in the brief session of the
Senate went beyond that of any man
Mississippi ever sent there, in the brief
time served. Send him back and he will
begin the new term with the prestige
impossible for any man to gain without
serving an entire senatorial term.
Now, why send any new man, how
ever good and great, when he wouh
necessarily require a full term to ac-
quire the influence that Percy already
has?
Mississippi is rich in manhood; she
has men the equal of Mr.. Percy in char
acter (none superior) but in character,
ability, courage, ready resourcefulness
and practical judgment he stands with
out a peer.

Jack and His Three Wishes

One day, however something happened
to Jack-something which made q great
change in his life, and in the lives Of those
whom he loved. One morning his father
sent him to the village with some fruit
for the market, some dates and figs. AS
the animals OF prey were rarely seen dur
ing the day, Jack had no fear of any
threatening danger from that source. He
rode upon a strong, gentle ass, the huge
basket of fruit placed In front of'him: At
his side he carried his sword.
The village lay between Jacks home
and the sandhills which slirted the desert
and ran quite to tho edge Of the forest.
And often lion got beyond his own terri
tory, following the sandhills In quest Of
prey. AS Jack rode leisurely along toward
the village his mind was occupied with q
weighty matter His father had told him
Of a terrible famine In the lands lying
just 20 the west Of their part Of the world,
but the people were all one, speaking the
same language and serving the same kinC
And as Jack rode along through q fertile
valley OF plenty. he wished from the bot
tom OF his heart that he might be able 10
do something for the starving people fifty
miles distant. For the king, not a kind
hearted monarch, had been APPEALED to, and
had refused to open his treasure boxes 70

pain Of some sort, but I also know that
other children, yes and elders, too. have
the same. But we can have something for
a remedy, kind words, help, and rest. This
is what thought Of when 1 saw a bird. OF
whom I shall tell you.
/ know not what kind Of bird It was,
though I think 1t was a sparrow. II was
SO small and its breast had no feathers
yet.
When I went in the back yard the little
children told me, there was a dying bird in
the path. / looked and saw that the poor
little thing had fallen from the chimney
corner on which he had his nest. Could
the bird have told me out of all the birds
which flew by us which was his mother or
father we might have made that bird take
care of its suffering young. But this was
impossible. So I gave 1t water and bread
crumbs and let 1t rest in the long grass
till found a rustic basket, filled 1t with
grass and placed birdie in It. I climbed
on the fence and placed the nest" in the
apple tree, where 1t may lie until morning

give aid to his starving subjects. And from
those who had plenty in that land of want
he extracted an immense tax, throwing
them in prison II they were found aiding
their starving neighbors instead of paying
him what he demanded of them.
All this was In Jacks mind as he rode
along. OF a sudden a cloud of dust ap-
peared on the countryside, about half a
mile from where Jack was riding. Then
Jack made out a chariot drawn by fine
black horses in the midst of the cloud OF
dust, and several swift men afoot running
beside II. Then Jack saw something else
A beast, almost the color Of the dust he
disturbed with his long. low-swinging body
was in pursuit Of the chariot.
As Jack was going toward the chariot
and outrunners and they were coming
directly toward him, 1t did not take them
long TO come quite close together. And
In the meantime, the yellow beast, which
Jack made out to be a tremendous
lion, was gaining rapidly on the fleeing
band. The horses seemed tired out from
too long travel and driver in the chariot
behind them was whipping them furiously,
urging them on and on. Behind the fran
tic driver Jack saw a canopied seat on
which sat OF rather chung wildly, a males
tic parsonage. Evidently his royal high
ness had been out for a ride. and had gone
too far from his palace, which was In a
city fully ten miles distant from the viii
lage toward which Jack was journeying.

Now Clutch overheard them. Before day
he stole the gifts and slipped into the for

waved swords and made a noise like the
rush OF battle. Clutch ran in terror. He
thought Of the cane and said:
Horse, speed me fast

A charger carried him away to the
grounds of a king. There the kings court
was drinking at a wonderful spring. It's

persisted. why" said Clutch, taking his

Three Dogs.

BY Herberta B., Aged Ii Years, sla North
F1ftieth Avenue. Blue Side.
Three little dogs were talking,
AS they trotted along the road,
And the subject of speech
With all and with each
Was what bad folks were about
Said the first, you would hardly believ,
It,
But can assure you its true;
A man with a pail
Threw sand on my tall
Now think that's cruel, don't your"
Said the second, That's very atrocious;
But worse thing happened to me
A boy with a stone
Almost broke my backbone.
Now what do you think OF THAR" said he
Said the third. MY fate was the hardest
And I can prove It just now.
A man knocked me fiat
When looked at a cat
Wasn't that too bad? Bow-wowI''
But the three little dogs did not mention
The first, that he'd stolen some meat;
The second, that he ran
At q poor blind man.
And the third, that he'd hunted the cats.
Thus these three little dogs were talking
AS many small boys did the same.
They tell of a story
That rebounds to their glory,
And forget that they well deserve blame.

which was browsing beside the road q
quarter of a mile off, for at eight OF the
lion the animal had run down the road as
fast as he could go, after Jack had Jumped
from his back. And Jack had done 20 Just
as the lion made a lunge toward the driver.
Jack had waited his opportunity, which
came a moment later. Then his short
sword was brought into play.
Well, after everything had been ex-
planned, the king ordered his chariot
driver to unhitch the still living horse that
he-the hng-might mount and ride into
the valley where he could procure another
chariot to take him to his palace in the
city. But on the drivers holding up his
injured hand and arm, the king relented,
saying: Poor fellow. You had a narrow
escape-saving my life. But where are my
ouuunners-my bodyguard?"
They took to yonder ledge Of rocks" ex-
planned Jack, pointing towards a steep
embankment. which ran at the banks OF
the stream. They are hiding away from
you, sire"
II am the king, lad" replied that mon
arch. And l shall not forget thy service
to me- nor shall forget the disloyalty OF
my bodyguard. They shall lose their
heads tomorrow at dawn"
But let us carry your royal highness Ia
my own house, where my father will pro-
vide entertainment for your kingship till
l can go on to the village and get a char
lot ana driver for your royal highness, y
suggested Jack. Then, the king agreeing
TO this Jack bound up the driver torn
member with a kerchief from his own
head, and the three went in the direction
OF Jacks fathers home. Jack had called
to the ass, and the animal, knowing his
DUTY, Obeyed, and came trotting along 70
him. The king was then assisted 10 the
animals back, the basket OF dates being
removed ana slung over Jacks arm, Thus
the monarch rode 10 the peasant home
like a peasant himself. And he was forced

beside the fire, chatting, while JACK 5

And Jack sat close TO the royal knee lis
tening to the flow OF royal words. Then, OF
a sudden, the king looked into Jacks face
and said Il shall grant thee three wishes,
lad IN payment OF the service you did me
this day. Speak. What are your wishes
Z For a few minutes Jack sat with bowed
head, thinking. His mother was hoping
he would ask TO have his father created
a knight and himself a young gentleman in
waiting on the king and herself q lady OF
the court And mis- lather was wishing he
would wish for a hundred gold coins. a new
team Of horses for the farm and q chariot

OF these things did Jack wish for. Rising
and bowling before the king, he then

his majesty's orders, they cried out a few

following those on foot made after the
chariot with its royal burden. One of the
horses fell at this juncture and could
not rise in spite OF the drivers brutal

At this moment the lion reached the
