AN ACTIVE KING
Alfonso of Spain is one Of the Most
Active of Monarchs.

king Alfonso is one of the hardest
working men in all Spain," says Kel-
logg Durland in Woman's Home Com
paion. "Ordinarily he rises at seven
to seven-thirty and after breakfast in
the queens boudoir he is steadily oc-
cupied until half-past one or two
o'clock. Mornings when he reviews
troops he leaves the palace at six
After lunch he attends to affairs about
town-opens exhibitions and bazaars
and performs such other social duties
as devolve upon sovereign. At five
o'clock he plays polo or goes shooting
till about seven-thirty, when he re-
turns to the palace and looks over the
news of the day CLEANED from forty-six
leading newspapers of the world. At
eight-thirty he dimes, and in the late
evening goes to other social functions,
the theater or the circus. The circus
he is particularly fond of, and during
the several months of the circus sea.

clowns as any small boy in his king

early morning until five o'clock in the

In common parlance a genius is
termed one WHO is Il little off, In
point Of fact men of genius do en-
hibit traits OF character that are hard
to give any rational account for The
following from Clarks Book Herald
is interesting as illustrating this
poinl
Balzac's early years were filled with
struggles and privations. For a time
lie actually lived on forty cents Il day.
Then, when success finally camc Oh
him, and his novels began to sell, he
spent his money with the heedlessness
of child. He bought the most gorg-
cous clothes, jewels and rare pictures,
rushed off on long mysterious jour
neys, and graliIied every whim. He
used to drink strong coffee at night
to keep him awake. so that those
hours stolen from sleep could be cm-
ployed to complete his prodiSiouS Ia
bors. But this overwork and cXccs-
sivc coffee drinking ruined his health.
A fad even more peculiar than that OF
Haydn, the musician, who never com
posed unless he had on his finger Il
ring given him by Frederick the
Great, was that Of Eugene Sue, who
had his servant bring him a new pair
of perf,lmed white kid gloves when he

Thackeray not only wrote in his
study, but often took his work to his
bcd-chambcr, where, in dressing-gow
and slippers, he would pace up and
down the room, smoking Il cigar Sud

j would lay the llalf-smokcd cigar on the
mante, and, going to his desk, would
begin to write busily. James r. Field

ness, and had an inordinatcly poor
opinion Of his own talents. He could
never be induced to discuss his own
writings, and hated above all things
to have even his most intimate friends
congratulate him on his literary work
! He regarded his achievements in the
story line rather in the light Of Il

Bob West For Sheriff

Upon the proper authority the Senti-
mel this week presents the name OF
5 ebert West, Familiarity called "Bob
est" to the electorate of Grenada
.ountv as a candidate for the office of
sheriff. Mr.. West was in the Z four
years ago, and while not successful, he
gracefully accepted the mandate OF the
primary and quietly passed the word
down the line, ''Boys, I'll be with you
in 1911"
While Mr.. Vests habits, life and
character bear the assertion out, yet
he authorizes the Sentinel to state that
he is in thorough and complete accord
with the highest and best sentiment Of
the people Of Grenada county for law
enforcement. MI. West very correctly
reasons that such is not only better for
right-living people now, but it is the
only safe way to build wisely for the
children of the present day.
In view of the fact that a sheriff is
such an important factor in enforcing
the criminal laws, his declaration is re
assuring.
Mr.. West is a successful farmer, liv
ing a few miles east OF Grenada, ant
enjoys the confidence and esteem of
large circle of friends. He is kind
hearted. generous and obliging and ha
always met well any obligation i'm
posed upon him. He is of a sunny ma
ture and is one of those characters tina
looks upon ethe bright side of things
He promises, if elected, to make tn
people a faithful, accommodating an
efficient officer.

Dead.

Breathes there a man with soul SO dead
Who never to himself has said:
my trade of late is getting bad,
I'll try another ten-inch ad."
If such there be, go mark him well;
For him no bank account shall swell,
No angels watch the golden stair
To welcome home the millionaire.
The man who never asks for trade
By local line or ad. displayed,
Cares more for rest than worldly gain,
And patronage hat gives him pain,
Tread lightly, friends; let no rude
sound
Disturb his solitude profound;
Here let him live in calm rerose;
Unsought except by men he owes.
And when he dies, go PLAN 0r deep,
That naught may break his dreamless
sleep;
Where no rude clamor may dispel
The quiet that he loved so we'll.
And when the world may know its loss,
Place on his grave a wreath of moss,
And on the stone above, Here lies
A chump who wouldn't advertise"

Franklin Pierce Collins.

Born in Yalobusha County, Mississ-
ippi, l, April 1854:
Died at Hardy, Mississippi, 6, Jan.
1911.
The days of his life were spent among
the hills and dales where he first saw
the light. He grew to mans estate
forming strong friendships with those
who knew him best. Of a quiet and re
firing disposition he did not make
friends quickly, but when once well
known his true worth attracted all
to him who came within the
sphere of his influence. He had
been a member of the Methodist
Church more than a quarter OF a centu-
~. In the discharge of his duty there
he brought to bear the same fidelity
which marked him in the other walks
Of life. | have known Frank Collins
| since we were boys together, and have
ever priced his friendship. From boy
hood to manhood we grew up together,
in that long period he was always . ge-
| NAL. warm hearted, kind friend. In the
family circle he was a gentle, loving
husband; a patient, affectiot-ate Ia -her.
His friends will cherish lin as a mar
| of honor and rectitude Of purpose and
| will grieva that in the volume OF his
lhfe's work fms is written.
