Consolation for Women Who Do Not
Enjoy All the Advantages They
See Others Have.

Women are taught very wrongly
about love. They are allowed to read
love stories at a tender age and form
q totally fatal notion of love.
They see themselves as charmers at
a very early age. They begin trying
to eaptivate, to charm. to enslaye the
opposite sex. before they are out Of
the nursery. They live and die
many, many OF them-without ever in
the least understanding the truth
about love or. In fact, about anything
else.
Women are very envious by nature.
There seems to be plenty OF justifica,

TELLS OLE MISS HISTORY.
Historical Society Issues Twelfth Volume
of Publications.

Jackson.-The twelfth volume OF tho
publications of the Mississippi Historical
Society, as compiled by the secretary, DIR.
Franklin L. Riley, Of the University, has
been issued.
One Of the most valuable features OF
this volume Is the exceptional number OF
articles on the educational history of the
State. These contributions are of much
more than local interest, as they treat of
men and events, and will be appreciated
by students of history in other parts of
the country.
The volume contains two county his
tories of the reconstruction period, and
DIR. Riley expresses regret that he could
not give space to more publications OF
this character.
Doubtless the most valuable contribu-
ton in the volume bearing on the re-
construction period Is that from the gift.

GUT RATE ON ROAD MATERIAL
ROAD BUILDING is Numbered BY
EXORBITANT CHARGES.
Hundreds of Thousands of Dollars IN
..-,- --yu ISSUED to Be
Used in Building Good
Roads.

Jackson. - The Mississippi railroad
commission adopted the following aneut
their order on rates on sand and gravel;
There is not Il subject in the state
that is OF more vital Importance to the
taxpayers than that Of constructing good
roads. During the present year hundreds
of thousands Of dollars worth of bonds
have been issued by the taxpayers OF
Mississippi for this purpose. One OF the
greatest hindrances in this work is the
rate charged by the railroads for the
transportation of sand and gravel, the
price charged therefor being 50 eXorbi'
taut as to be almost prohibitory. Mis-
sissippi has sand and gravel OF her own
to construct every road within her
boundary. If the public roads were SO
constructed, it appears to MS that 1t
would be a good thing for the railroads
also. because the railroads will be benc-
fitted by any enhancement OF property
values along their lines, and the people
would be better enabled to dispose OF
their agricultural products.
"Whethcr the railroad companies resist
the PRONUNCIATION Of this rate or not, we
want the people to know that we are
~cndeavoring to put into operation a rate
by which our public highways may be
improved at the minimum cost"
The rates put in are / cent per hun
bred pounds for fifty miles or less, "a
cents for fifty miles and less than 100,
IA cents for less than 100 miles, 2
cents for less than 200 miles, 2M cents
for less than $50 miles, 2 ccnts for all
over $50 miles,
This order docs not prohibit railroads
from charging less for sand and gravd
used on county roads, or public build
ings.

Thompson was compelled to write that
he has no information on the subject,
and that the only connection he has with
near beer is to collect and account for

such are discovered in operation.
