MODERN PROPOSALS.
How the Heroes in Up-to-Date Novels
Test Their Fate.

Everybody knows how a man was
expected to offer himself in marriage
fifty or a hundred years ago, says the
Kansas City Star. According to the
most approved custom he was sup
posed to glide gracefully down on one
knee, take the young woman's right
hand firmly in both fists and murmur,
"Amelia, may | have the temerity to
beseech you to bestow your hand on
my unworthy self?"
Manners have changed since those
days. Half dozen new novels we're
picked up at random from the latest
assortment sent out by the publishers
with a view to observing modern ways
of proposing proposing as it is done
by our most popular modern author.
ties. Consider, If you please, "The
Girl in the other Seat" by Henry
KitcheIl Webster. It's at the end Of
q frightful exciting motor race JUS
won by Longstreet. Clarissa, who ha'
learned to drive, offers to take hin
home, but she turns off from the di
rect road.
That's not the way to New York

Dallas, Texas, July 22.-While Texas

Tires on the right side of the ma
chine receive harder usage, as a rule,
than those on the left side, as they
come in contact with ruts when the
car Is turned out to pass vehicles, and
often rub against curbs when the car
is stopped. Hence, If their position
is reversed, placing the worn side
nearest the car, the life of the tire
may be considerably prolonged. Sim.
liar results may be obtained by shift
Ing rear tires to the front, and vice
versa. Rear tires carry considerably
more than one-half Of the weight and
naturally wear down more rapidly
than front tires.

LAST REPUBLICAN,
loses HIS PLACE.
Only -Four officers, Allowed The Mi

Are Not Democrats.

Washington, July 22.--Tne last Re
publican. employe in the House, with
the exception of the four officers regu-
larly assigned to the minority party,
went off the pay roll Wednesday. The
separation of this lonely remaining
Republican from the Federal pay roll
was not peaceable affair. To be
absolutely accurate, force was used to
bring about the severance.
F. H. Wakefield, of Michigan, the
department messenger in the House,
was notified last week that his resig-
nation would be preferable to his pres
ence. Mr.. Wakefield continued to
hold down his $4,000 job, despite the
suggestions that he vacate. Finally
there came demands that he remove
himself, but his hearing apparently
failed to improve.
Big Jerry South, the chief clerk of
the House, took the situation in hand
today. Failing to get a satisfactory
answer from Mr.. Wakefield, he literal
ly picked him from his chair and eject
ed him from the Capitol building.

MISSISSIPPI A SUMMER RESORT.

Editor News
| have read with interest your news
item commenting upon the very small
number of persons who have gone
North for the summer.
While you and the railroad men
are probably correct in the reasons
assigned for this light travel, l think
there is another cause for Mississippi
people remaining at home.
All the so-called and muoh-adver-
tised summer resorts of the North
must lift their hats to Mississippi.
This is my first summer in the
South and l have never experienced
more pleasant June and July weather
than in Hattiesburg.
The only really unpleasant part OF
ihe summer has been when I have
gone to the North on business trips.

The state board of agriculture de-
sires to reach communities not hereto
fore favored by these meetings. New
features will be introduced. Exhibits
and demonstration work will add in

Official reports from last season
meetings indicate an increase of 10
per cent over attendance of previous
year. More practical work and less
entertainment will be the policy of the
state board toward future institutes.
Public funds should be used for real
public good, and not for amusement
features. The taxpayer won't kick
on paying the freight If he gets value
received for his money. Before any
town or place is granted an institute,
assurance must be given that good

The institute can be heid at no cost

Every town is benefited in which an
