COTTON TO BE SOLD
AT OPEN AUCTION
Reforms Inaugurated in Manner of
Conducting Sale of Missis-
siDpi Cotton

Jackson. Miss, October 7.-(Special.)--J.
+. Thames, trustee of the penitentary,
was buslly engaged at the penitentiaryl
office today, going over the correspond
ence, scrutinizing the bills and assisting
the secretary in getting ready for the
regular monthly meeting tomorrow. This
is something no trustee has seldom, If
ever. done before, and marks another in
novation in the mana cement of penten-
tary affairs that will result in benefits
to the state.
On the Parchman, farm last week re-
forms were also inaugurated in the man
ner of conducting sales of the state cotton
and which appear to have been very sat
isfactory to bidders and buyers For in
stance the cotton had been sampled pre-,
vious to the sale, graded and classified
by an experienced and disinterested cot
ton man. 1t was offered in lots at open
highest bidder in each case. and after
the sale over the cotton men present
adopted resolutions thanking the trustee
for their fairness.
1t was also determined at that sale that
hereafter the samples on which the cot
ton is sold will be retained by the trus-
tees. Some of the cotton buyers insisted
that the party buying the cotton should
get the sample. but the trustees did not
agree with them. 1t was finally deter
mined to pun the sample half In two
and give the buyer one-half, the trustees
keeping the other for possible future ref
erence.

There are many superstitions connected
with wild, animals. In the case of a lion,
it Is believed that the wearing of claw
of this animal will bring strength.
People connected with circuses and
shows have saying that when lions get
restless and uneasy either i'll luck or ex-
tremely bad weather is at hand, and that
when they continually wash their faces In
catlike fashion they are likely to have
fits of ill-temper In the near future, says
It'd Bits.
Numberess are the superstitions assoc
ciated with the tiger. The natives of In
dia believe that its whiskers are deadly
poison, and that when finely chopped and
secretly put into persons food they will
assuredIy cause death. What is known
as the "evil eye is greatly dreaded In
India and to avert this parents hang the
claws of tigers round the necks of their
chlldpen.
To see wolf is supposed to be a good
sign, but If man sees a wolf before
the wolf sees him, then he will either
become dumb for the time or lose his
voice.
For hare to run across anyone's path
Is considered a very bad sign In some
parts of England, because in olden times
1t was believed that witches TRANSFORMS
ed themselves into hares in order to
bring bad luck to their enemies.

Value Of Accuracy.

We strive so much to know every
thing that we lose sight OF the fact
that accuracy is more important than
knowledge, since knowledge that is
misty and fragile is poor guide. But
it is not only that what We know
should be true as that the fact that
accuracy is one of the most important
elements of character.
Vague ideas tend TO make weak
character, since character is only an
other name for truth. So that in the
education of every man and child, ac-
curacy should be made vital part.
One of the tests for entrance to the
naval academy is or was, an addition

Question: have COW which will
freshen soon. Her milk has a bad
odor after standing awhile. Her ma
nure smells badly.
Can all veterinarians test cows for
tuberculosis?
Answer--Cows often give milk
which is bitter and otherwise unpal-
atable during the last weeks before
they freshen. Undoubtedly you can
attribute the trouble in your COW to
this cause You should dry her of as
much an possible In addition II would
be advisable to clean out her system
with a good dose of Glauber salts.
Procure a pound or a pound and a
half. dissolve in warm water and ad-
minister to the animal as drench by
the mouth. After two or three days
you will find that handful or oil meal
added to the feed once daily will be
of much benefit in regulating the
bowels and otherwise keeping her in
good condition.
Any licensed veterinarian is capable
OF testing cattle for tuberculosis. The
cost for the test win depend upon the
distance you are from a practitioner
and the number OF animals In your
herd-Prof F. b. Hadley. Veterinary

old-Tlme Rush Hours.
oh, yes, there was a rush hour as
far back as the sixties. 1t lasted from
six to nine in the morning. Matt says,
and the Third avenue line handled it
by pressing nearly all OF their rolling
stock. numbering $50 cars, into serv-
ice and sending them downtown at
intervals OF one minute and forty-five
seconds. At other times of the day
there would be fewer cars and longer
waits, and at night. after the theaters
had closed on the Bowery, there were
only twelve cars running But then
New York kept earlier hours in those
days
In those days we drivers usually
knew most of the people who lived
every day, and they knew us" said
Matt. 80 in the morning, when the
rush was on, I'd often wait at corner
when | saw the man, who always took
my car there, hadn't finished his
breakfast yet. Sometimes a steady
passenger would open his dining-room
window and call out that he was just
finishing breakfast, and ask me to
hold up q minute until he came out.
Would / do it? OF course. would
That was the way we ran horse cars
in the old days
! Matt says 1t was the usual thing fol
horse-car drivers to work sixteen and
seventeen hours day In those days
Each driver had his own car, that is,
car which he alone used, and also
his own team and his regular conduc
| tor. He was responsible for the gen
eral condition and appearance of the
car, and usually took personal pride
in it. The fare for the entire trip
on the Third avenue line was six
cents. Matt says the conductor would
collect five Of it in the beginning. and
then go around and exact an extra
cent from every passenger still on
board when the car reached Sixty
fifth street. In the beginning, the con.
ductor didn't ring up fares; he just
pocketed them.
There was no heating system-noI
even a stove-in the old cars, accord
ing to Matt In winter passengers
kept their feet warm by plunging them
1 in a mating of straw that was
thrown on the car floor. Also there
was no cushion on the long wooden
seats inside. This made 1t rather un
comfortable for people travelling any
distance. and Matt says that Peter
Cooper, who was one Of his regular
passengers, always brought cushion
with him.

WICKED PANTHER
AND WISE RACOON
BY CALEB 3. wHlTFoRD.

One bright moonlight night big,
yicious-looking panther was sneaking
through the cane brake that fringed
the heavy timber, growing at every
small creature he saw as he moved
along. He was gaunt and hungry, and
growled at times savagely when here
was really nothing to growl at
He cid not like the bright moon
light. He gloried rather in black
nights because they suited his purpose
better The peaceful deer were enjoy
ing themselves nipping tender blades
of grass and browsing on the young
cane. When they heard the panthers
growl, they ran away through the
woods in fright
Too bad said Father Deer to his
family when they were out of harms
way. that we cannot all live in peace
in this big woodland and swamp.
There is an abundance of food for all
of us, and playground enough too, but
that vicious panther wants the whole
country for himself, and If we don't
get out of his reach we viii feel his

keeping out of the way of bodily harm.
What fine world this would be If all
creatures would attend to their own
Affairs and not interfere with others. ="
The panther continued his search
through the cane for something to eat,
growing and snarling as he crouched
and crawled stealthily along. Present
ly he peered out into The open woods
1t was bright out there and that made
/ him growl some more.
If it was only dark" he said be

through the open woods and catch
some unwary creature and make 9
meal of him, but In this bright moon

There's no use hunting any more to
night in the cane brake, for every liv

A handsome profit can be made
from sheep when properly managed,
