home of Mrs. Munoz, 237 Brighton
u Tuesday evening in honor OF
her Birthday. About 8 P. NJ, when
the frivolity was at it's height, above
The singing. was heard a cracking
and humping on the window panes
on all sides of the house. The racket
frightened the ladies' and caused the
sentlemen to become alarmed, all
though some of the Drawer men ven-
tanred to the front of the house, but
were unable to locate the cause Of
the noise. After everything had
quleted again, and the party had
nontinued in its previous course, the
same cracking and humping was
heard at all windows. The Drawer
men again e~ndeavored to venture TO
the front OF the house, but were UNI
able to open the front door, as IL
had been tied with a stout one-ineh
rope to the porch pillars. Then the
G5oT5sli began to ring, and 1t rang
continuously until the bell could be
disconnected. While the Banties
were inyenting another scheme a
little girl came to the house and EN-
deavared to ring the bell. but II did
no. ring, SO she called Mamma,
Mamma. Mamma" which was all In
vain. While the attention of the
party was being attracted by the lit.
tie girl, the Banties discovered a
three-gallon bottle of cider on the
rear stoop, captured 1t and took
their treasure to a nearby lot, where
they demolished the contents, con.
sidering it a very delicious drink.
Mrs. Munoz was afterwards called
on the telephone and thanked for
leaving the bottle of cider In such
e convenient place. Although the
Banties are rather displeased that
there WAS no cake left with the bot.
tie, they again desire TO thank Mrs.
Munoz. "The Banties of so"

Tobacco VIII Thrive In Miss.

C~larksdale, Miss, July l1.-That the
tobacco industry in Mississippi promis-
ct to become a flourishing ore is evid-
enced by the reports brought into this
city by a travelling man who is interest
ed in the crop and who has recently
made 8 tour Of the penitentiary farms
in Oakley and Rankin. According TO
this expert authority, and judging from
fine specimens Of the plant which he
procured, not only the quality of the
crop on these farms is exceptional, but
the yield is unusually good. The latter
will average abaut 1900 pounds per
acre. Tho crops are already made and
will be cut within the coming week.
The hill section Of the state is par
icularly interested in the industry,
many farmers south and east Of Jack
son making preparations for q large crop
of tobacco next season. When it is
considered that the poor, red hills OF
this section, practically worthless with.
out scientific treatment for many crops
produces the finest quality Of tocacce
used in the United States, and that
this plant will average for the hill
farmer from $75 to $3.50 per acre, the
value of this crop to the states in
dustries will be readily apparent.

that he has always been an a~nti-corpor-

The fight he has made for honesty IT.

epithets or abusive language regarding

has never yet used language on the

PhitanthropIe Plan Of Henry crsndaII
seems Strange but 10 Based on
Common Sense.

Believing that if the instinct to
save is inculcated in youth il will
become an established trait through
life, Henry Crandall of Glens Falls.
n. Y, on the last day of 1910
called around him 100 boy from the
ages of twelve to sixteen and made
them this offer: 81 will open a bank
account of $25 for each Of you, on
condition that each boy add to il at
least $3.50. When this 10 done /
will add 1880, thus assuring at
least 800. Then for every dollar
up to $50 additional | will add a
dollar, thus assuring at least $500.
The account is to remain until the
holder is twenty-one years old and
is then to be at his disposal"
The proposal appeared so fair and
liberal that so Of the bows have ac-
cepted the terms. IL they persist in
their efforts ii can be seen that each
will have a good-sized amount TO his
credit on his twenty-first birthday.
Mr.. Crandall has proposed a strange
philanthropy, but it is founded in
common sense and must appeal TO
Young men who are made Of the
right stuff.
