Smith During Grand Council
Exercises.
The following beautiful lines form
ed the concluding part of the response
by Mr.. John L. Smith, of West Point,
to the addresses Of welcome deliver
ed on the occasion Of the meeting of
the United Commercial Travellers in
Grand Council in Hattiesburg, last
week:
So long as Old Glory blazes in Gods
blue armament the travelling man will
never be man without a country.
There is room in our hearts for every
acre of Mississippi's sunny soil, her
every hill upon which the morning
breaks, her every vale that cradles
the evening shadow, her every stream
that laughs back the image of the sun
The travelling man Is also proud of ev'
cry citizen within the state who, by
the nobility of his nature, and the
majesty of his intellect, has added
one jot or little to the fame of this
fair land and contributed new power
to the car of human progress.
The American drumer is not only q
patriot, but the Apostle of civilization
as we'll I have come to the beliei
that the world can be redeemed only
through business, and the drummer Il
its most important adjunct. Business
means betterment; business is human

books. Over 100 signed for cards Sat
urday.
Miss Northey, with her assistant, is
still very busy placing the books in
their proper places, being at present

SWITCHING CREW HAVE
NARROW ESCAPE

Conductor f. C. High and three
brskemen, W. II. Beatty, j. l.. Smith
and w. B. Smith had a narrow escape
from being burned in caboose about
one-thirty Thursday morning.
The switching crew, who are en-
ployed in the yards here, had retired
for the night and were fast asleep.
The engineer had fired up his engine to
be in readiness for tie morning work
and oil had leaked onto the track in a
considerable quantity. The engine, a
fiat car and caboose had pulled up
alongside Stranahans warehouse.
Suddenly the oil caught fire and com
pletely enveIoped the engine. This
awoke the watchman, ard he immedi-
ately started the engine for the main
track to get away from the fire, fear
ing injury to the engine. Reaching
the main track he found the switch
closed and locked, and he had no key.
This brought the caboose right over
the fire. The men were aroused, the
heat being sufficient to break every
window on one side of the car. At
tempting to escape by the rear door,
they were driven back by sheet of
flame, and rushed for the other door.
where there was less fire, and managed
to get out without injury.
The bed clothing in the caboose was
badly scorched, and telephone pole
at the corner of the warehouse caught
fire. The paint had begun to blister
on the warehouse and the situation
was becoming serious when the men
got busy with shovels and sand and
put out the fire.
An alarm was sounded and the fire
department called out. but the prompt
work of the crew made their trip un-
necessary.

EMBARRASSING MOMENT.

There is one young fellow in this city who will be careful about his ac- tions in the future. A few nights ago, while hilarious and indiscreet from the effects of too close an ac- quaintance with the flowing bowl, he stepped in an elevator of a down town building. Two young ladies there attracted his attention, and he managed to murmur:
 "Oh, you big blue eyes. I do Ike blue eyes"
 The young ladies ignored him. A few minutes later he was talking to a friend in an office upstairs.
 ''You've got to excuse me this time," his friend said. "My wife is waiting for me down stairs"
 Huh? Your wife? Say, you don't mean to tell me one of those ladies down there is your wife"
 There was a painful pause, fol lowed by hasty and voluble explana- tions and apologies.

 "And what were you talking about?" asked an interested listener.
 "Oh, just ordinary talk. l remem- Der he said, T always kiss my wife three or four times every day."
 "And what did you say2"

be as strict as it is. One of the favor
lite tactics of some of the European
courts has been to employ women as
spies, and to utilize their enchant-
ments and social connections as a
means of obtaining information.
The story in question deals with a
young army officer who has charge OF
fortress, From this fortress are
controlled number of submarine
mines, which may be exploded by
push buttons arranged upon switch
board. All the mines in this harbor
have been rearranged and shifted to
other positions, and it is information
about the new locations of the mines
that is about to declare war. The en-
voys of that country decide to use
one of their female spies in obtaining
the information they want. At an
embassy ball the woman is introduced
| to the young officer, and at once the
game is on, BY feigning an interest
| in military and garrison life, this
charming young woman induces the
young officer, in negative sort of
way, to show her about the fortress
and explain the workings of the vari-
Gus complicated mechanisms.
| Gradually the young officer falls
deeply in love with the female spy
The information she sought was gath
cred little by little, and quite a few
days were required in which to do the
work The young officer was man
| of magnetic personality, and before
! her work was fully accomplished the
woman realized that she was in love
with him. Matters had gone quite far.
Already the principal part of the de-
sired information was in the hands
of the foreign ENJOYS. They were
speeding in a launch to a vessel lying
in the harbor. This vessel belonged
TO the nation tney represented. AS
the female spy watched them through
Ia field glass she began to have re-
grets. and to think of the conse-
quences her action would bring upon
the man she loved She looked at the
mine chart before her. By pressing a
button she could undo in an instant
all the damage she had done. Acting
upon this impulse she pushed the but
ton and there was a great explosion.
The foreign ENJOYS and their vessel
went to the bottom, while she re-
