 Who thinks the world dnkind: Search down among the novels Where gladness seldom strays, And teach the doubting people There still are Christmas days. You have been busy planning To spread your gifts afar, To add your fair love-tokens
 Where joys and comforts are. But have you in your gladness Bestowed one kindly thought On those who sit in darkness, Whose crusts are dearly boughtf Your heart is full of kindness, You hear the anthems sung And gaze up at the windows Where ribboned wreaths are hung: You've heard the sweet old story With reverence retold- But there are hungry children Where all is dark and cold Hunt out the little lame girl, The poor boy who is blind; Hunt out the weary widow Who thinks the world unkind: Go down among the victims Of chance and greed and crime And cause them to remember That this is Christmas time.

THE KNOW HOW

There are more nervous persons
made so by undigested food lying in
the stomach than the average indivld-

If food remains undigested in the
stomach, it begins to ferment, set up
gas and a large portion is thus con-
verified into poison.
That's why imperfectly digested
food may, and often does, cause irrita

her eyes in death at $40 o'clock
Thursday morning. Funeral services

lived 81 years before coming to Hat
tiesburg, tonight, and interment Will
be made Friday morning beside the
grave of an adopted son, who died

Mrs. Bennett was 81 years Of age
and before her marriage to Robert l..
Bennett, "a years ago, was Miss Noble
i McKie, member of leading Madison
county family. Left an orphan when
she was three years of age, she was
raised by an aunt, Miss Sallie MCKEE,
the sweet, christian woman who since
the marriage of her niece has made
her home with Mr.. and Mrs. Bennett,
and has been a great comfort to them
4 throughout their married life.

SONG OF THE PINES.

Say, soft breeze that signs among the
pines,
Swaying, murmuring in the MONDAY
glare,
Singing as they wave in choral lines,
What is it they whisper to the air?
AS, with gentle kiss and sweet caress,
1t passes, leaving them in loneliness.
Is it forecast of the storm to come,
Lightning broidered, with deep thun-
der wrought?
It is but the wild bees busy hum,
Loaded with the nectar they have
sought?
Song of coming winters warping woe,
Song of slumb'ring summer, yet to go?
There they stand in hoary, upright
ranks
Girded round with fower-festooned
moss,
Guarding lilied marshes, violet banks
From the suns warm gain and jew
eled loss
Sure, it's some grand secret, hlgn
divine,
That thus passes slow from pine tt
pine.
Is it of their tall and stately life'
" Ever verdant Dinysius' gift?
Is it of the worlds strong, ceaseles
strife,
Or the consultations endless dr1t
Or mysterious music Of the spheres
Thus transmitted to our earth-clogge
ears?
Sing, sweet pines, with never ceasir
lure;
Teach us still to bend, before Il
storm,
Still to aspire toward the sun, brigf
pure;
Still to shield the weaker ones fro
harm.
AS the efragrances the winds diffuf
MAY we all our humble talents USE
