Had to Have Pie.

A New York woman, who thinks she
knows the public taste because of her
experience in the boarding house bust
ness and as the manager of a summer
resort hotel, thinks that the statement
made by a Chicago baker that pie
has ceased to be popular with the
masses Of this country" Is "all wrong"
cit may be true for Chicago" she said.
"but In this part Of the world pie Is
still popular. Two years ago we had
a little strike in the kitchen Of our
seashore place and the pastry end was
the hardest to get right. For four
days we had no pie, but furnished in
stead more expensive desserts. But
we had a regular pie strike among our
guests, and pie we had to have. 1t
wasn't like any mans mother ever
made, because 1t was amateur work,
but it was pie, and that's all they
wanted"

in from the Standard Oil, Mr..
Roosevelt wrote to the campaign
committee that they must not
accept any contributions from
the Standard Oil Co., although
Mr.. Roosevelt was cognizant of
the contributions. After the
election the Standard Oil was
entirely ignored and repudiated
by Mr.. Roosevelt. This case
was just one of a number Of in

showed the basest ingratitude to
those who contributed to his SUI

During the Days Of Witchcraft I'm
fortunates Were Brought Into
Court TO BE Condemned.

When the witchcraft delusion Of
1892 seized the province the people
would not wait for the workings Of
the established tribunal Of justice. It
wal too slow to suit them. No doubt
they feared that It would be reaction
airy" or inclined to be too respectful
to the letter Of the laws So they
cried out for q special court to hustle
along the trial Of the witches, and
Governor Phipps meekly yielded to
the clamor and named judges
to conduct the trials.
It was distinctly q popular court,
and was controlled absolutely by the
popular will. Not q one Of the seven
judges was a lawyer. Two of the
judges were clergymen, two were ply
sicians and three were merchants.
The common law was thrown aside,
rules of evidence were ignored, and
the judges and juries were left IN.
trammeled by any "quibbles Of the
law" to follow their own feelings and
the popular will.
Gays WdSlIUuln IL LIS JuulSAdl Ills
tory of Massachusetts,: "The trials
were but a form of executing popular
vengeance. Juries were intimidated
by the frowns and p~ersuasions of the
court and by the outbreakings of the
multitude that crowded the place Of
trial to render verdicts against their
own consciences and judgment" He
cities one case, that of Rebecca Nurse,
In which the jury actually had the cour-
age to bring in a verdict of not guilty.
Whereupon "the accusers raised a
great cutlery and the judges were
overcome by the clamor." The jury
was sent back, returned with a YER
dict of guilty, and the woman was
accordingly executed. Thus promptly
sand effectively did the popular will
succeed In bringing about the Judicial
decision 1t wanted.-Boston Herald.

The Task at Hand.

The late Clara Barton, head Of the
American Red Cross, was a Christian
in perhaps the best sense-the practi-
cal and unselfish sense.
Miss Barton, in an interview In New
York about the tenement house laws,
once said to a reporter:
I'D neglect church, I'd neglect re
ligion to get our vile and unwhole
some slums all swept away"
She paused, then added:

sions awaiting us on the other side Of
Jordan, you know, while there's an un.
solved housing problem SO near

Get Habit Of Quiet Speaking.

The easiest of bad habits to acquire
Is that Of speaking loudly. Language
has become SO complex that not only
is it necessary to say the right thing,
but it must be said in the right way.
A phrase may be said in jest or in
earnest; a rebuke may be kindly or
stern; an order may be willingly or
unwillingly received according to the
tone in which it has been said. Many
a faithful workman Is unjustly ac-
cused Of unwillingness and disloyalty
because Of the churlish manner in
which orders are received; many a
master is regarded as s%unfeeling by
his employees because his actions are
forgotten and only the sting of his
sharp manner remembered.

GAMBLER WINS

In the primary held in the First
Congressional District Tuesday
to name a democratic candidate
for Congress, Hon. E. S. Cand-
Ter, Jr., won over his only OPP
ponent. DR.. H. F. Broyles. by a
handsome majority. The vote
Tuesday was but an expression
from the voters in the First Con-
gressional District of their conf
dence in their representative
which they have seen proper to
express in each election Stree
Mr.. Gambler first won a seat in
Congress by a handsome ma
jority.
The popularity which the pri-
mary indicates for our represen-
tative has not come to him spon-
taneously, because he has never
posed as a lime-light politician,
but he has won his way by an as
siduous discharge of his duties.
With Mr.. Gambler his official po-
sition is as most mems business
are to them. He has brought his
official duties down to a system
and there is no detail, however
insignificant it may appear to be,
that does not receive his most
careful consideration.
During the twelve years he
has served the people he has
never failed to reply to a letter
or request where it was within
his power to do so. The humblest
citizen stands on the same plane
with the man of influence, wealth
and position with Zeke, and the
poorest of the poor can reach him
as readily as his counterpart.
During Mr.. Gamblers term in
he has secured a public
building for Columbus, for
Corinth and for Tupelo, the two
former are under construction.
An eligible lot has been secured
and accepted by the government
for the Tupelo building. He has
secured an appropriation for the
Bigbee river, the only navigable
stream in his district, at various
times and has used his best eff
forts to open the river to naviga-
ton.
Mr. Gambler does his election
eering by work. He has made
but few canvasses of the District,
yet there is hardly a voter in the
District but who feels that he is
not personally acquainted with
his representative. With such a
record it is no discredit to DR..
Broyles TO be defeated by such
an opponent. DR.. Broyles is an
active man, with lots of energy
and made a splendid fight. He
won friends over the District
where he was heretofore I'M
known. While the majority
against him is large, he should
not feel in the least discredited
but to only realize that he ran
against a man who is as strong
in his District as the many hund-
reds IF representatives in Con-
gress have proven invincible.
The election of Mr.. Gambler is
another evidence of the fact that
the people are not much given to
rotation after they get an officer
with whom they are satisfied.
