BURGLAR STEALS
THE ROAST BEEF
Palm for Genuine Audacity
Must Be Given Unknown
Thief in This City.

For downright audacity, the palm
must be given to an unknown thief
who pulled off a job yesterday right
under the gaze of the lady Of the
house which he was robbing. The
burglary occurred in broad day light.
The lady saw poorly clad, slouchy
looking man walking towards the back
door Of her house. She was alone
and was afraid Of him and catching his
eye through a window, nodded her
head TO indicate that he could get
nothing TO eat from her if that was
to be mis- demand. He marched right
up to the porch nevertheless and the
frightened woman beat him to the
door by Just enough time to turn the
key.
Finding himself locked out, the fell
low set to work On the ice box, which
vas on the porch ard after spending
- or Is minutes departed When
he vas safely out Of sight, the lady
examined the chest and found that
a biz roast which had reposed there
preparatory TO a big evening meal,
was missing together without enough
other things TO assure the robber one
Ct the best meals he probably ever
enjoyed.
The theft was was not reported to
the police

THE NEW NICKEL.

Why, just when women are making
way
For their higher place in the world
today,
When their cause is in the nations
eye,
And their hopes of votes are rising
high,
And men are coming their plea to
join,
Must the head be taken from off the
coin,
The woman head of this country free,
The head of the Goddess of Liberty?
Long she hath reigned on the nickel's
face,
In the august charm of her Roman
grace,
With the circlet on her wavy hair,
And the laurel wreath of freedom
there,
A starry halo round her head
To show the glory there bespread.
Why must the stately goddess go.
For an Indian chief and a buffalo?
The Indian chief is passing fast,
The buffalo not long will last,
And both are signs of waning power
Which long hath passed its zenith
hour.
But stronger in it's growing years,
The woman's laureled head appears;
So why from coins should banished be
The Goddess great of Liberty?

in 1862 and the provisional govern

enough to prevent political compiled

Greece and the position was offered

to the Duke of Saxe-CobuTg-Gotha, but

FUND TO REPLACE
FOUNDER HALL
MOVEMENT STARTED TO RAISE
MONEY TO ERECT NEW BUILD
INGS AT MILLsAP, MISS.

Jackson, Miss, March 1S.-J. d. Bar
bee of Greenville, a member of the
board of trustees of Millsaps College,
has joined the other earnest advocates
of the raising of large building fund
to replace Founders Hall, destroyed
by fire several weeks ago, and the
erection of other new buildings on
the campus.
This subject is the most important
that will be brought before. the trus-
tees at the annual meeting during the
June commencement exercises. 1t has
been the fixed policy of the board not
to contract debts, and this policy is
in a large measure due to the sagac-
ious founder of the college, Major R.
w. Millsaps, and it will doubtless pre-
vail while his hand is at the helm.
Mr.. Barbee believes, however in
common with many of his colleagues
on the board, that the time is ripe to
start statewide movement for a
building fund, and that the movement
should be under the direction of Bish-
op W. B. Murrah, the first president
of the institution, who recently re-
turned from an extensive tour of the
fields in the Orient.
1t is the idea of Mr. Barbee that a
definite plan for buildings and grounds
should be adopted, with view to the
absolute permanency of the institution,
even though it is necessary to adopt
the Catholic idea and work slowly but
surely towards its accomplishment.
