translation is. "Und err soil dein herr

stead there appears the word ''narr,"

caused, BY a quarrel between the
printer and his wife in the year 1880.

AnIriSh Patriot
Story For St. Patrick's
Day.
~ NORA O'NEILL

There are two characters in Irish his
tory who are the very antipodes OF
each other. The one il st. Patrick.
whose memory is revered and beloved
BY Irishmen; the other Dermot, who Is
looked upon with hatred and contempt
Dermot was one of the early kings
Of those sections into which the Emer
aid Isle was formerly cut up. The
prayer Of the Turks. Allah. prevent
the uniting Of the Balkans" might
have been spoken by the English OF
that faraway period with reference to
the Irish. There was constant warfare
between these Irish sovereigns. and
finally Dermot. when hard pressed by
his enemy. invited the English to come
ACROSS the channel and help him.
The English. one having obtained a
foothold in Ireland. did not stop til
they had dominated the island. So
while blessings are to this day show
cred upon st. Patrick. who converted
ireland to Christianity. there Is execra'
tion for Dermot, for that constant dis
content Of the Irish people under Brit
ish rule dates from bis giving Britons
the frst opportunity.
During the reign Of Charles /. Of
England one Of these kings or rulers OF
what have since become counties OF
Ireland was beheaded by order of the
English king. He vas called the
O'Donohue. the o being a prefix to the
name Of the ruler to denote his SOW

q VOW that when he grew to manhood
he would spend his life in attempting
to drive the English from Ireland.
It might be expected that a resolu
ton formed at such an early age would
not be kept. A child Of seven losing

The ATTENDANCE
AT REVIVAL
INCREASES
REV. zENo WALL PREACHED TWO
ABLE SERMONS WEDNESDAY
AT EMMANUEL MEETING.

With improved weather and wider
knowledge of the character of the
preaching being done by Rev. Zeno
Wall, the revival services at Emmanuel
Baptist church are being attended by
increasing audiences at each service.
At the II o'clock service Wednes-
day, Mr.. Wall preached on the sub
ject, "The Marks of Decipleship," and
said that there are four characters
tics which evidence a mans relation
as a desciple of the Lord: First, 10y
atty to Gods word; second, love for
Christians; third, a faithful life, and,
fourth, a self-sacrificing spirit.
At the night service Wednesday he
spoke on the two ways and showed
by Bible texts that there are two
ways, one the straight and narrow
path of Christian rectitude, the other
the broad way of sin and ungodliness,
or, as the Bible puts it, "the broad
way that leads to destruction"
He used effectively diagram, show
ing how as children are born into the
world, they all enter that way which
is known as the straight and narrow
path that leads to life eternal and
all along this way the prattling chill
dren are found, and there is no pos
sible chance for their departure while
hedged in by the walls of innocence
Further on, at different points, deflec'
tions begin and all who persist in de
serting the narrow path ultimately
reach and follow that broad way which
leads into destruction.
The services continue morning and
night throughout the week.

Jackson, Miss. Jan. 30.-Persisting /
that he believed he was right when !
he said that Chief Engineer w. j. |
Shackleford was to blame for the re-
cent break in the levee at the Beulah
crevasse, Governor Brewer late last
night dictated a long statement in re-
ply to statement signed by members
of the levee board exonerating the en-
gineer from blame, and asserting their
belief that the government had made
an unjust attack upon Shackleford.
The statement issued by the COVER

that the people of that district had

that since the people had entrusted
them with the funds to protect them

duty to at least casually look after it,

CRUSHED TO DEATH
BY FALLING
TIMBER
c. DANIELS, EMPLOYE OF
M. c. SHOPS, INSTANTLY
KILLED THIS MORNING.

AS the result of the sudden toppling
over of pile OF pole stock lumber at
the M. G. r r. shops, Joseph G. Dan
iels, aged 43, and resident of this
city for the past seventeen years, at
11:15 this forenoon, was instantly
killed, and one other employee, G. F.
Gilmore, was slightly hurt, thought
not seriously enough to cause him to
quit work.
Joe" Daniels, as he was familiarly
known, was a carpenter by trade, and
has been for the past three years en-
ployed in the planning mill department
of the M. G. car shops in this city.
His home is 1913 Edwards street,
where with a family consisting of a
wife and seven children he has resid-
cd here for several years.
At the time of the accident, which
so suddenly snuffed out the life of
Mr.. Daniels, he was employed in plac-
ing in position a wooden roller for
the lumber conveyor, which had Just
been turned up by him at wood lathe
in the shop.
Owing to the work being done on
the conveyor there was an accumula
ton of lumber beside the cenveyor,
and this was being added to by two
men engaged in unloading a car, with
the result that the pile grew SO high
as to cause a sudden toppling of the
lumber, which caught Danields while
in STOPPING position, crushing out
his life.
Mr.. Daniels was a member of I'm
manuel Baptist church and Of Leaf
River Camp No. 28, Woodmen of the
World. He was a candidate in the
1911 democratic primary for the office
Of constable. Being a good neighbor
quiet citizen, an Industrious worker
he had many friends who regret his
untimely death, and who sympathixs
with his widow and little children In
their great loss.
The body Of Mr.. Daniel was pre-
pared for interment at the undertaking
parlors of Hulett & Company and will
be buried in the City Cemetery Fri
day afternoon.

such rapidity the world may soon be
confronted with a catastrophe which
will lead Turkey into a tremendous

Ottoman Empire believe the revolt
