No man who makes a practice
of being dishonest and repudiates
his just accounts ever amounts
to a hill of beans. In the COM
mercial world they never get to
the quarter pole. The successful
business man thinks more of his
credit than he does of his wife,
for he knows if his wife leaves
him he stands some show of get
ting another, but if his credit for
sakes him he is up against it.
He can have but one credit. 1t
seems strange with all this in
mind that young men will start
out by beating little bills at the
restaurants and at the stores.
They will even borrow so cents
of friend and refuse to pay il
back. That class of fellows al.
ways wear a banner that can be
seen all over town and everybody
| is ION" to them. When it comes
to paying your debts honesty i:
the best policy. - Jackson News

Negroes to the Rescue.

The negro has developed into
a most extraordinary and practi-
cal use in an emergency. AS re-
lated from New Orleans, on
Thursday, quick work by deter
mined farmers and a small bunch
of willing negroes who were
thrown into an incipient crevasse
in the absence of sand bags, saw
ed another district along the tur-
bulent Mississippi river. The
dozen negroes who lay in the
gap of the Poydras levee, hold
ing back the water until sand
bags could be filled to take their
places, risked their lives, but
saved the day when it appeared
hopeless to hold the fast crum-
bling embankment. Within 20
minutes a score of negroes were
brought up by a planter who lives
few hundred yards south of
the scene. The levee was caving
rapidly and when this small force
arrived water about two inches
deep was pouring over the en-
bankment.
1t seemed too late to prevent
the crash which would spread
flood waters over a large area of
Plauuemine and st. Bernard par
ishes entailing damage to plan
tations totaling several hundred
thousand dollars. A desperate
chance was taken when two
| II inch boards were put along
the top of the broken levee and
a dozen negroes accepted the
task of holding it in place. These
human sand bags might be taken
with the very next slice of the
levee, but they held on until 9
row of bags filled with dirt was
put in place behind the boards,
Other bags were hurriedly drop
ped in the gap and soon a hun.
dred more negroes and white
linen were working like ants fill
ling sacks and carrying the filled
bags to the gap.
/ Then without warning thu
stretch of the levee crown where
the human sand bags lay a few
moments before fell away to {
depth of % feet. A second row
of bags held the water back anG
within an hour two thousand Of
the dirt filled sacks were in place
and the caving was temporarily
checked and for the time thu
llevee was saved. Caucasian.

In line with the policy of the
management of the Missouri Pa
cifc-Iron Mountain system OF
putting a substantial part of the
earnings into improvements and
betterments, President Benjamin
F. Bush has authorized the pur-
chase of seventeen new locomo-
tives for that road. The Ameri-
can Locomotive Works was award

senger engines known as the

CINE and tender will be 457, 000
pounds. The tender will be Is

and lower than the ordinary To-
connective, obviating to a great
extent the liability of derailment.
The five Pacific type passenger
engines will be built primarily
for speed, the driving wheels be.
ing over six feet in dimater, and
will be used in the fast passenger
service recently inaugurated by

CONGRESS CONVERTS.

Washington, Dec. 1T h e
regular session of the sixty third
Congress of tie Unit, Il States
convens at noon today After
paying a tribute to she memory
of members who have died dur
ing the year, both the Senate
and House will adjourn until
tomorrow, when President Will
son will read his annual lines
sage" in person.
The indications are for a live
ly session. The currency bill
will come prominently before
the new Congress, although il
is not expected that it will be
disposed of until next March or
April, as it is claimed that o.,
ponents of the measure are do
ing some effectual work in block
ing its passage. President Will
son is trying to be patient with
the recalcitrants, but those
close to him say that he will in
sist upo a vote on a new Cur
rency bill by this Congress.
The longer the measure is de-
layed, the longer the business
unrest will continue. The soon
er the bill is passed, the more
quickly will conditions be ad-
justed. President Wilson is ex-
ceedingly anxious for the pas
sage of the measure for he de-
clares that it will put a qlietus
on the calamity bowlefs whose
desire representations might
have some effect upon the pulse
of trade If uncertainty continues
through the winter.
Another matter to receive
early consideration by the new
Congress is the bill to permit
San Francisco to draw a water
supply from the Hetch- -Hetchy
Valley.

UNLOADING THE BOSSES.

1t is believed now that Muir
ply will be unloaded by Tam
many, and there is q move a.
mong the republicans to oust
William Barnes, Jr., from the
leadership of tina party.
From all reports, there is lit
tie diff renee between Murphy
and Barnes, except that Barnes
graduated from Harvard while
Murphy graduated from a sa-
loon in the slums of New York
City. They are on different
sides of the political fence, but
working together under cover
whenever it has been to their
mutual advantage to do so. 1t
was thus that Croker and Tom
Platt worked for years.
Mr.. Barnes is the Murphy of
the republican party and Mr..
Murphy is the Barnes of the
democrat party. Changing of
administrations in New York
has simply meant the swapping
of bosses. If the people defeat
ed the democrats they got Barn
es and if they defeated the re-
publicans they got Murphy.
Now it looks like both of these
bosses will be retired to private
life. There is a new thought in
the country, and it is going to
clean out the party bosses who
rule for their own profit. .-Albu-
