HONOLULU, Feb. 12.-It is be-
lieved here today that Mrs. Robert
Scott, widow Of the Antarctic ex-
plorer, knows of her loss, but is un-
able to answer any of the wireless
messages transmitted TO her.
The steamship Aorangi, which is
bearing her to New Zealand to meet
her husband, should be about 1000
miles southwest of here. II is equip
ped with a short range wireless send
ing apparatus, having a radius OF only
800 miles. The sending stations here
are equipped with powerful appar-
atus that often communicate direct
with San Francisco. Many messages
have been sent into the air bound for
the Aorangi to tell Mrs. Scott OF the
disaster and some must have reached
her, II Is thought. Her ship Is due TO
reach New Zealand, via Samoa and
Tahiti. Feb. %.

you CAN SIT RIGHT DOWN AND
EAT ANYTHING SERVED IF you
GET ACQUAINTED WITH STU
ARTS DYSPEPSIA TABLETS.

With most pathetic sigh the dys-

the best doctrine for most people 10

couple a square meal with stuart 5
Dyspepsia Tablets. To sit down TO q

is getting back TO the good old days
when grand-dad carved the roast !;
when the family made cleanup;
and when good appetites with sound
digestion produced the men and WON
en- that have made our nation what
It Is.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are the
dvspeptic's hope. They are. natural
restorative OF healthy action to the
stomach and small intestines, because
they supply the elements that the
weak stomach lacks-pepsin, golden
seal and other digestives.
II you are afflicted with any symp-
toms OF stomach trouble be assured
that your digestive organs are losing
power--they need help and there is
no more sensible help to be given
them than to supply elements which
will do the work OF digestion for
them.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets have
been found by test to have digestive
powers, one grain OF the active prin'
ciple OF these tablets being sufficient
10 digest 1900 grains OF ordinary
food. Il Ia plain that no matter what
the condition of your stomach, or how
far your disease has progressed, one
OF Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets taken

upon an opportunity to make his
maiden speech in the council In front
OF a packed gallery. He spoke against
the measure.
Aid. Kingsley and Aid. Herman
Schultz furnished the surprises of the
evening. Kingsley, at first a staunch
advocate OF the Lodge ordinance and
a signer OF the liquor committee re-
port recommending the adoption OF
the measure, Topped at the eleventh
hour and signed the Dingeman- Nowc
report instead Schultz voted against
the adoption OF the ordinance In the
council, but later changed his vote
for no apparent reason except, pos
sibly, to refute the charge made
against him that he tried to line up
with the liquor interests, while play
ing the other end OF the political
game.

The Friends We Missed.

The most pathetic phase OF
life is a realization of the friends
that we never make; the friends
that might have been made by
just exerting ourselves at little
more. Who ever contemplated
the loss of friends that he might
have made by just releasing a
little of his self-centered reserve!
We appreciate the person who
always greets US at meeting day
after day. 1t is so easy, so SIM
pie to spread the halo of happi-
ness about us that we often over
look it and go through the world
thinking that every smile and
every good impulse we have is
not worth while unless bartered
away for something in exchange.
There life loses it's whole value.
1t is when it comes from within
that a worthy motive that hap
piness is truly o~urs.-Montgom-
cry Advertiser.

HUMOR OF VARIOUS NATIONS
Different Races Have Special Ideas
Of Jokes Which Seem to Appeal
to Them Alone.

A man who has nothing else to do,
anyhow, has taken unto himself the
task Of gathering from. the comic pa
pers Of six nations the leading topics
which appear to be the ~favorite
themes of humor in each country.
Here Is a brief summary of the re-
suit:
The Germans pet ticklers are:' A
professor who forgets his umbrella;
a college student who drinks beer and
touches" a friend for a loan; the
misses who worship army officers, a
husband without the front door key;
the cooks lover, usually a soldier, hid
den in the kitchen; mother-in-law.
Englishmen prefer: Kisses Tin all
descriptions) boys who are afraid of
getting mixed up with a miss and be
sued for breach of promise; an I'M
lucky bettor; In unskilled golf player;
ditto, football; ditto, cricket; ditto.
Rugby; Americans who talk through
the nose; mothers-in-law.
French people gtggle on jokes on
soldiers and nurses; wives who;
husbands who; boys who; girls
who; the German tourist in Paris;
government-made matches; the mode
before the last; the last mode; the
latest mode; the very latest mode;
Sarah Bernhardt's age; mothers-in-
law.
Americans laugh at almost anything,
but their favorite topics are: The
commo people squashed by a trust:
a stolid Englishman; an Italian who
eats spaghetti; a silk hat Occasion
ally a nose) smashed in a fisticuffs; a
bottle of whisky labeled Lemonade"
an Italian h~urdy-gurdy; mothers-in-
law.
The Italians favorites are: A glut-
ton country priest; Roman urchins; a
Neapolitan cabby; a ~tailor's bill; a
cigar that does not draw" the colo
nels orderly; ladies' hats; mothers
in-law.
Finally, the Spaniards' predilected
jokes are always on corridas, toros y
espadas; when they change they are
on toros, corridas y espadas, or es-
padas, coridas y toros; once in a
while mothers-in-law get a shot, too.

THE SIXTEENTH AMENDMENT.

On Monday the States OF
Delaware, Wyoming and New,
Mexico through their respective
legislatures completed the ra'i-
fcation of the Sixteenth amend
ment to the Constitution OF the
United States. The three states
last acting made thirty eight
states ratifying the amendment,
two more than was necessary.
The sixteenth amendment pro-
vides for an income tax. The
amendment gives congress pow
er to pass an income tax bill and
it is generally understood that
the extra session of Congress
which will convene in April will
pass such a bill. While nothing
is definately known as to the
provisions of this bill, the idea
prevails that only incomes Of
over $4,000 will be taxed and that
at the rate of l per cent. 1t is
estimated that an income tax
will produce more than one hun
dred million dollars revenue to-
the government. Several of the
states have also passed income
tax laws and in the state of
New York it is the source of
great revenue.

The time has arrived when
Tupelo must step to the front
with her schools. In order to do
this we must make an innovation
upon the present routine work OF
text books and add industrial
features which other schools
have long since made a part of
their curriculum. Any system
that dishes out to every pupil the
same education is a failure.
While text books are a necessity
to a certain extent, yet with the
varying types to be found in our
public schools it is essential for
a Investigation in order that
each pupil may find just what is
suited for him.

Auguste B. Leguia, who recently
completed a successful term as Presi-
denot of Peru, was n Of the coun-
try's shrewdest business men before
he entered politics. It was not until
1903 that he became actively engaged
in affairs of the state, and then only
because the last President Candamo,
knowing his genius for finance. urged
him to become the minister of that i'm
portant department of the cabinet. He
was born in 1863, and received his
education in Valparaiso. When the
wal with Chile broke out he resigned
from a mercantile position to join the
army, where he distinguished himself

NOT HARD TO STOP HAZING
Good Results Have Followed Deter
mined Purpose to Put an End
to College FooIishness.

Hazing, which used to be rampant
at West Point and Annapolis, has
been pretty we'll suppressed through
the energy with which it has been
combated by the federal authorities.
Under the urgings Of the Inquirer and
other newspapers, which detested and
denounced a brutal practice, congress
enacted legislation whose loyal and
energetic enforcement has served to
stamp the evil out. An instance of it
is reported once in a while, but usual
ly in a materially modified and COM
p~aratively unobjectionable form, and
the convicted offender is punished
without any demoralizing indulgence.
This is a gratifying reform for whose
contamination President Taft de-
serves a large measure Of credit.

have been reported in which one
young man died from the effects of
his comrades ill-trRatment, while an.
other youth was so seriously injured
that his life is endangered. This in
dicates an unsatisfactory situation. 1t
shows the continued existence of an
evil which needs to be eradicated and
demonstrates the necessity for some
remedial action sufficiently drastic
to be effectively restrictive and ad-
monitory. Would-be hazers must be
frightened into good behavior.-Phila
