"I have some colored paper dolls such as
come with some Of the woman's magazines
and would like to give them to some small
child TO help pass away the rainy days.
Do you know OF any business firms that
would like to have letters and circulars ad-
dressed? I would like something Of that
sort to do at home, as it is impossible for
me to leave home to do outside work.
Please answer through the paper and
will then send my name and address and
the dolls. N. X.
Probably your offer Of the dolls will bring
forth requests for your name and address,
which I shall be unable to supply. as you
did not add 1t to your letter. This omis-

Children Often at Eduffi.

To 20 back to the case Of my correspond
ent I don't mean to cay everything TO
and OF the mothers. The daughters are
often IN fault. too. No matter what their
home trials. they should recall that after
an q mother Is more than all the world, that
she has suffered more, done more. loved
more than any one else; that the daughter
owes a measure OF devotion and duty, no
matter what the conditions, and that, do
what she can, she will always be IN debt
TO the mother.
In view OF that I repeat the remark l
made a while ago. that there is something
radically wrong with a girl who can turn
against the mother who has sacrificed COM
fort and ease for the sake Of making an
education possible for the daughter. and
can threaten to leave home in which she is
needed and loved. No matter what the
provocatIon. conditions should be endured
sooner than she should be guilty Of any
course going 50 far counter to the mothers
reasonable wish as to be bound to produce
unhappiness.
This Is a matter which should interest the
mothers OF sons as well as OF daughters.
VIII not some Of them write and tell me
Of their experiences and observation along
this line. and state what they would ad-
wise in the case OF such a mother as my
correspondent quoted at the beginning OF
this talk:

even although along different lines. The
exact course is not the important matter
so much as giving your children the knowI-
edge that home is the best place in the
world. and that they are sure always Of the
mothers understanding and ind ulgence.
Another fault often to be laid to the
mother Is the habit Of unnecessary fault

II want to write to you OF the need Of a
woman in whom am interested. She is
highly educated and competent. has spent
years in kindly works, has travelled about
the world, and speaks several languages.

stories are excellent She has been cut OF
from making an income by an illness of
ten years. which most Of the time has kept
her helpless. She can be on her feet little
and holding pen is agony to her after a
few minutes. To keep hunger away she
sold her typewriter several years ago. Now
she Is able to use one again. can operate it
rapidly, and 1 feel sure she could earn
a good income had she a machine. She is

about her to see life in the right way. II

told me it Is her greatest wish to get a
machine. II you should be able to help her,

Hardly week passes that at least one
application does not come for typewriter,
and I can not assure any one of a granted
request. print this letter in the hope that
some one will see It who can meet the ap-
pareutly genuine need described and will
seize the opportunity. Few things are
harder than the desire and the ability to
work and the lack OF means TO make use

Wants TO Earn Money.

=" A COW girl from the cattle range is
coming to your Corner to ask favor, not
for herself, but for little girl who lives
near. She is one OF nine children Of a
poor family and has a bad throat disease,
which she is trying to earn money to have
treated, as her parents cannot afford this.
Her only means OF getting money has been
by selling pictures taken by herself. Last
month she broke her camera, and she is
heartbroken over it. for now the treatment
will have to be given up. Now for the
favor: Has any reader OF the Marion Har-
land Helping Hand a camera which is not
wanted and that can be sent to this little
girl? 1t must be good one, taking clear
pictures at least postcard size. II any one
has such a camera and will send II to me

all charges, in advance or otherwise, and
will reward the giver with a set Of western
pictures, mountain scenery, round UP, buck

sincerely trust this appeal may touch
others as 1t has me, and that the camera
may be sent soon. In these days, when
nearly every one is taking photographs and
when 1t is an every day matter TO get a
larger camera or a different make, which
supersedes the earlier instrument, there
must be q good camera somewhere which
would I'LL the measure Of your little friends
desires and enable her to help earn the
money for her throat treatment. Your
offer Of pictures should tempt some one.
even If the chance to do a kindness does
not prove irresistible. Thank you for the

Washington, Sept. 11.-Senor Manu- !
ell de Zamacona, former Mexican am
bassador to the United States, who is
supposed to be charged with the task
of re-opening the negotiations between
the United States and the Huerta ad-
ministration for peaceful solution o.
the troubles in Mexico, remained in
seclusion last night with Senor Algara,
charge d'affaires of the Mexican en-
bassy.
Senior Zamacona did not reveal the
character of his mission He main
tanned that he had come to the United
States on private business"
From American officials 1t is known
that the Mexican government made
inquiries recently if it would be agree
able to the United States to have
Senior 1amacona negotiate some of the
points in dispute.
The United States had signihed in
return that if Senor Zamacona came
to resume negotiations on new basis,
he would be received Otherwise this
government considered further nego.
tlations on the same ground covered
1 by John Lind as unnecessary.
1t is understood that Senor Zama-
coma was in communication last night
with the Mexico City administration
and prepared to be in New York to-
day to talk with American bankers
about the prospect of loan for the
Huerta government.
/ At the White House it was stated
that no word had been received di
Iectly from Ssnor Zamacona.
! President Wilson, in fact, is plan
ming to leave here this afternoon fol-

Much mystery was maintained By

visitor. On the latter's arrival ht
Immediately telephoned Senor Algarf
and went to the embassy. Several re
porters saw him enter there.
On the telephone a few minutes
later Senior Algara denied that he hat
seen Senor Zamacona or knew any
thing of his whereabouts.
Not long afterward both Senor Al
CARA and Senior Zamacona left the EN-
bassy for dinner and spent the evening
together.

heard before chancellor J. Morgan
Stevens on a motion of the defendants
to dissolve the injunction on the
ground of a wrongful suing out of same.

The injunction was granted by Judge

PENDANTS to have the Injunction bond
increased from 800 to $500. resulted
in decree from the chancellor direct

Sheriff Serving Unexpued
Term Eligible Reelection

serving out an unexpired term is al
lowed to succeed himself. :,
Hon. Monroe McClurg, when he
was attorney general, expressed an
opinion to Hon. T. H. Hall, of Green
wood, Miss, that the constitutional
prohibition contained in Section 1876
of the state constitution prohibiting a
sheriff from succeeding himself in Of
flee applied only to a full term and
not to an individual occupying an un-
expired term
81 have investigated this question
and find that the supreme court decid-
ed this question to the same effect in
the case of Bozeman VS.. Laird, 81 Mis-
sissippi. 719. The decision is very
clearly to the point and holds express
ly that this constitutional disability
applies only to a case where occupant
of the office has held it for full term
and that it does not apply where the
occupant has held the office for only
a part of the full constitutional tern
of four years. You will find the case
reported in 18th Southern, 722.
II entertain no doubt that this is
correct construction of this section o
the constitution"
