up their minds.
The house committee on insurance
will not take up the several more or
less radical bills on that subject in
troduced during the past few days I'M
til some time next week.
Chief in Importance among these
measures is that requiring insurance
companies to invest portions of their
reserve funds in Mississippi securi-
ties. Insurance men contend that this
bill. if passed would drive every in
surance company out of Mississippi,
just as it did in Texas and Arkansas.
Chairman Cavett expresses doubts,
however, as to whether the bill will
pass, or even receive favorable COM
mittee report. The subject has been
threshed over repeatedly in the legis-
lature during the past eight years, in
each instance meeting with defeat af-
ter a hard fight.
More than a dozen bills on the sub
iect of insurance are pending for con-
sideration, and the insurance COM
panies. both life and fire, have a good
ly number of representatives on the
ground to look after their interests.
rI,I,o bonco aorY1 r1ittpp on annrOnria-
lions is taking it's time about reach
ing an agreement on the appropriation
for the support of the common schools
during the next biennial period.
Usually this measure is rushed
through during the early part of the
session, but it will be delayed longer
than heretofore because of the desire
of members 10 find out exactly where
the state is at" in financial matters
The common schools, of course, will
receive all that the state can posi-
bly, afford to give, and bills now pend
ing fix the appropriation at all the
way from $1250,o0O to $1,000, 900 pei
annum.
The present appropriation is $1.424.
OSS per year, on which the per capt.,
for distribution is 81. A new enumer
alton of educable children is to b.
taken this year and It will probabl!
show an increase of about 10000
children of school age. On the basi
of present appropriation this woul
reduce the per capita to s1.7S. II tn

In session, and it will probably be a
difficult matter for the Presidential
aspirant to get away from his official
duties.
Resolutions will be introduced In
the two houses next week inviting
Governor Judson Harmon, Speaker
Champ Clark and Congressman Oscar
Underwood to address the legislature
Many Of the lawmakers say that
they have no personal preferences in
the presidential contest, and would
like to get intimate personal views Of
the several aspirants before making
up their minds.

WORK WONDERS WITH TUNit
Garment Really Indispensable to ~
Woman Who Perforce Must
Practice Economy.

The woman Of small means, whoak
social position obllges her to dress
well on small income per annum, do.
vises many schemes whereby she msJ
give her limited wardrobe the ap,
pearance of great variety. Within tho
past few seasons her greatest aid In
putting up bluff" has been the uhi-
quitous tunic. This style admits Of
so many delightful variations that the
clever dresser does not fail to make
the best of the advantages 1t offers.
For instance, If one is possessed Of
a well fitting white satin frock, one
may vary the tunic worn over it, and
a variety Of effects may be obtained.
It is certainly wortfNtrying by the
woman who has limited number Of
frocks and many occasions on which
she must wear them. Some little al
teration or differences in the arrange
ment Of shades worn with a frock
gives an air Of novelty and interest.
Some women are content to fish out
the same frock and wear 1t continu-
ally with even the self-same spray Of
flowers pinned on. It does not seem
to occur to them what an almost end
less variety can be obtained by little
changes here and there, with perhaps
different ornaments and waysof Dress
ing the hair. No woman should scorn
such details, and in her desire to look
her best she mayOeasily get into the
habit Of critically examining herself
and her clothes.
To go back to the subject Of tunics
and the wonderful ingenuity which Ia
exercised in them, that they have q
great effect in altering the shape and
appearance Of the figure is fact most
Of us have realized. A tall, slim figure
can, Of course, stand practically any
arrangement Of this overdress, but
the short woman in this, as in many
other details of her toilet, has to be
most careful that no hard line, which
may detract in any way from her
weight, or any undue fullness, should
be worn. All lines should sweep down.

ing in view the wish to add length and
take away any suspicion Of width IN

swered Darlington, as he followed the
Judge, who, with Mahaffy and the boy,
had moved off.
Better stop at Boggs'!" Pegloe
called after them.
But the judge had already formed
his decision. Horse-racing and shoot
ing-matches were suggestive OF that
progressive spirit, the absence Of
which he had so much lamented at
the Jail raising at Pleasantville. Men,
phis was their objective point, but
Boggs' became a side issue OF i'm
portance. They had gained the edge
of the village when Darlington over
took them. He stepped to Hannibais
side.
Here, let me carry that long rifle,

into his face, and yielded the piece
without a word. Darlington balanced
1t on his big palm. Il reckon 1t can

Darlington laughed.
There was a rusty name-plate on
the stock of the old sporting rifle;
this caught Carrington's eye.

The judge, a step or two in ad-
vance, wheeled in his tracks With a
startling suddenness.

was ashen.

the collars of the moment. When they
are worn low they are turned we'll

Droidered linen.
The medium collar band has no
vogue. Contrarily, the very high col

soft and filmy material, is considered
exceedingly smart, and figures Oh

Cotton Corduroye,

Corduroys this summer will be very
much in evidence.
So many women like the velvet fin
ished corduroys that they will doubt
less be glad to see the same weave In
troduced into the cotton fabrics.
The new spring cotton corduroys
much resemble the velvet ones, though
they have not, of course, the same
brilliant finish. There is the same
cordllke weave, however, and the cot
ton corduroys will doubtless prove as
good for hard service as the other
members Of the corduroy family.

Virginia Growing Rich

At the risk of making Vir-
ginians conceited. attention is
called to the speech of Capt. Jno.
Lamb in Congress in which he
shows Virginia is growing rich,
now t1e riches, Southern State
save Texas which is really half
a dozen States. We gather from
Colonel Lambs address that Vir-
ginia has the finest apples, the
thickest wheat, the tallest corn,
the best pig iron, copper, clay,
zinc, shale, limestone and coal.
To our surprise, he fails to men,

the Shenandoah or the striking
| beauty of the Richmond girls,
Virginia orchards yield profits
as high as $500 an acre; her corn
lands are worth more than those
of Kansas and Nebraska. AL
| falfa-growing is a new departure,
but Captain Lamb tells us one
| Virginia farm produced $4,000
| worth of alfalfa last year.
Wealthy Northerners and West
erners are buying large planta-
tons, and though the new set
tiers are small in numbers, they
comprise a big addition to the
States wealth. Farm lands and
buildings have almost doubled in
value in ten years-$530, 91S, 900
in 1910. compared with $751;
5S7, ZOO in 1990-and the average
value per acre has more than
doubled.

kept pace with agriculture, and
