never have known that the biggest
things in life were passing me by
perhaps l was really contented with
only half of David's love-"
So in the end Lorna came to look
upon her cross as a blessing. She
seemed to have made new friends;
she seemed to hold them firmly at her
side. She gave one or two dinner par
ties and found herself branching out
in many directions.
Lorna had not ceased to love her
husband, but she. began to feel indie
pendently strong.
When the letter came which men
toned the day of her husbands ar
rival, Lorna sank down into her big
chair and trembled. After all, now
that he was coming, she felt strangely
weak There was so much at stake.
She knew that she could never again
be happy with half his love. She had
struggled for the whole and she must
have it.
She did not go down to the wharf,
but waited for him at home. Lorna
had dressed with unusual care. Her
gown of traily blue and her little blue
slippers peeping from beneath were
only the setting for her exquisite beau
ty. She knew that she was looking
well, and the knowledge lent certain
proud carriage to her figure.
David saw her through the French
windows before he entered the house.
He caught his breath and was con-
scious of thrill Whether it was from
surprise or longing he knew not. But
certain it was that he quickened his
step and took her into his arms with
an emotion for which he had not bar
gained. 1t left him breathless and
trifie confused.
Lorna" he said, and stopped.
what is it, David ?" she asked with
a little unsteady laugh. She looked up
at him and the glow in her eyes left
him dazed

are really mine"
But | am, Dayy boy" She smiled,
because she knew that she had won.
His arms held her in way that made
her knowledge certain. II have made
the house over, though. See!" She
turned and swept in the changed sur
roundiHgs.
David looked over her head, but did
not release her "Lorna!" he put a
firm hand under her chin. Lorna

She looked up for one fleeting
glance, then her head went down on
his shoulder.
David's arms closed about her and
drew her near to him. He was silent
a long moment, and when he spoke
his voice was not quite steady.
II love you, DEAR" he said simply.
81 have always loved you"
Lorna smiled up at him. THAT is

Governor Got it at Low Rate.

Governor Earl Brewer has returned
from New York, where he succeeded in
negotiating a loan of $500, 900 to meet
a prospective deficit in the state treas
ury anticipated by the legislature. Gov.
Brewer tried to negotiate the loan with
banking institutions within the state
prior to the New York trip, but the
best offer he could get was 6 per cent
interest, and none of the Mississippi f.
nanciers seemed to be especially anx-
ious to loan to the state at that figure.
Governor Brewer negotiated the loan
through a friend whom he met in Bos-
ton last summer while attending a
meeting of the American Bar associ-
alton. The money was secured at 4 1-2
per cent interest, which means a saw
ing of about $40, 600 or $12, 900. LEX

Can't Get Along without the Men.

In the June Wcman's Home Compan-
ion appears an article showing the in
equality that exists between men and
women. The article is called 1.-THE
Vanishing Husband" and opens with a
description of a New England family in
which the wife is described as being at
~tractive and bright. The story of this
household goes On as follows:
Her husband was a lean, tactless
/ gentleman, kindly withal, but lacking
profile and emphasis. Where the wife
gave you the quality of plenty and
loneliness, he symtolized in ones
mind the ~leanness of the New England
uplands on which they lived. Nor was
he a conversationalist. An occasional
Nm or 'Uh-uh' and u~ninspiring re-
marks about the pigs and the weather
were the most anyone ever got from
him. One wondered how he had had
the good fortune to come by his hand
some, capable and amusing wife.
"let in that household a strange
phenomenon occurred almost daily. AT
ter tea Henry would remark:
"I'm goin' out"
"Upon which his wife took it up like
a challenge.
Where you goin', Henry?'
"I'm goin' OUT Henry would re-
mark with that picturesqueness which
was his joy.
"'Goin' to the store, Henry?'
"I might be passin' by there Hen
ry would give reply.
"'What you want to waste your time
for, settin' aroun' on the top of cracker
boxes and spittin' into a box of saw
dust, I don't see," his spouse would re-
tort, generally tn his r~etreating back.
you got plenty to do at home. l wish
you'd sometimes stay home, Henry
she would add plaintively.
There she was, handsome and able,
entreating yes, that is the word for
meager-bodied and meager-
souled mate to remain, that he might
throw the light of his countenance upon ;
her. /
at seems to me that this is typical.
Here we have the fundamental weak
ness of woman: Men can get along
without their women-folks, but women
cannot get along without men,

va Y FIR MEMPHIS TO NEW ORLEANS

The question of a States highway from Memphis to Jackson
thence to New Orleans, is now being agitated. 1t seems that the
State highway from Memphis to Bristol, Tenn. is an assured fact
and it is proposed to extend it on from Memphis through fernando
Coldwater. Senatobia, Como, Sardis, Batesvnle, CORTLAND, Oakland
and Grenada, thence to Jackson. A great deal can be said in favor
of this route. Some time ago this same question was discussed in
the papers and the route from Memphis through the delta was given
much consideration. but the recent overflow has demonstrated that
the delta route is Impractical, too expensive. and if the scheme is
ever carried out, the road will have to take the hill route THROUGH
Grenada, which will throw our town on the direct line, The people.
the press and some of the boards of supervisors in the counties north
OF us, are boosting the States highway, and we are confident if it
eve reaches Grenada, the people of Montgomery county will SCI to
1t that Grenada vii! not long be the terminal. for we will move it on
into Wlnona with little delay. In another column appears a COM
municatlon from Mr.. w. b. Hofa, president of the Grenada Bust
less League, to the Commercial Appeal, setting forth manv advan-
tages and benefits to accrue from the States highway-Winona

Woman Suffrage a uye Issue.

The Ohio constitutional convention
allows the people to vote on the adop-
ton of woman suffrage. Should the
amendment be ratified, Ohio will follow
California into the suffragist column.
The states giving to women the suf-
frage on equal terms with men are
Wyoming, since 1869; Colorado, since
1893; Utah and Idaho, since 1896;
Washington, since 1910, and California,
1912. Ohio makes the seventh. The
New York Times figures that there
were 5,0O7, 069 women wage earners
over Is in the United States in 1900.
and Ia, 600, 900 over q. Reckoning
from the totals of population in 1910,
there would have been in that year g.
OBS. 900 women over Is in the gainful
As a r:atter of fact, the
number of women in the trades and
professions during the score of years
preceding 1900 increased over rs per
cent faster than the whole population;
the present total must be much above
6,OOO, 900, while the number of women
of voting age" has increased to about
l6, 600, 900. Should ~suffragism spread
successfully through the Union, this
army of women laborers and voters
would project serious economic prob
lens into politics, IN. o. Picayune.

The Girl of The Period.

Little Girl, you look 80 small;
Don't you wear any clothes at all?
Don't you veal a shimmy skirt?
Don't you wear a petty skirt?
Just your corset and your hose
Are these all your underclothes?
Little girl, when on the street
You appear to be all feet.
With your dress so very tight
You surely are an awful sight.
Nothing to keep you warm
Crazy to show your form.
Little girl, you don't live long,
Just because you dress eli wrong.
Can't you wear more underclothes
Than your corset and your hose?
After while, l do believe,
You will dress like Mother Eve.

II COMMENSURATE SPIRIT

AS we said to a personal friend of the opposite faction in state
politics. in a personal conversation over Hon.C H. Alexanders death
this sad aftermath to one of the political embroglios common to
Mississippi on account of the intense partisan feeling rife within her
metes and bounds-should be a rebuke to Is all, and serve to tone
down tactional tension. The Herald opposed MI. Alexander poHti-
cally and would huve done it farther had he lived; but as much as
we differed from him, we recognized him Is a man of big proper
tons. AS a politician we considered him very much overreachtd
byhis Conpeers and somewhat of a blunderer-not meant in the
harsh, critical sense of the term-and hence not commendable to
our acceptation, but a a lawyer of erudite learning and accomplish
ments, a parent, a patriotic citizen, ETC., we had always considered
him OF first rank in the state, and had always tried to write of him
IN such a manner as if he had been present or would confront us
with our writings.
Let us in studying this busy mans career, endeavor to remem.
Der and profit by the strong points revealed and to charitably forget
the weak ones, keeping in mind these mournful and solemn lines
from LongfeHow:
"Art is long and time is fleeing,
And our hearts though stout and brave,
Still, like mufHed drums, are beating
Funeral marches to the grave"
Green County Herald.

HITS OFF TO HUMPHRTES.

While we think that a serious blunder has been made and that
the interest of the people Of the northern federal court district would
have been better served by moving the federal court from Oxford to
Grenada, which would have made a delta district court unnecessary.
yet we must take OFT our hats to Congressman HUMPHREYS of that
oistnct or winning on his Clarksdale court proposition. Our peo-
pie and those interested in Grenada put up a good fight but Hum
phries had the advantage of the go. Grenada will vet get the
ieaeral court house and what has just been done only temporarily
deters the doing of a necessity and that which will accommodate the
largest number of patrons of the federal court of this district.

TIMELY WARMING

We desire to commend the card which Mayor Thomas had pub
lished in the Sentinel of last week giving warning to automobiles.
Undoubtedly many of the cars are driven too fast in our city. The
corners are turned too quickly and without the proper sounding of
the automobile boot Iii too late to lament over carelessness
after some child is killed or injured, or somebody else is hurt. A
wise precaution is better than consoling the sorrowing or sending a
physician to the wounded. So we would emphasize what the mayor
has said. Follow the law land fear no danger"

We understand that the executive committee, which retired up.
on the assembling OF the recent state convention, had something
over $500 on hand IN funds collected to defray the last primary
election and that that body donated this money to the Old ladies'
Home. 1t was impossible for the committee to exactly antcipate
the expense OF the primary and when it found that it had a surplus
it did the wisest and the best thing, gave the money to the home
provided for old and dependent ladies.
