Another version makes the victim
of Sydney's jest certain Sir Archi-
bald Mandonald, equerry to the duke
of Sussex. Sir Archibald said to the
prelate, who was then a canon at
Saint Pauls cathedral:
II will come some Sunday to hear
you preach" ...
"If you do, shall name you from
the pulpit" was the reply.
Undaunted by this threat, Sir Ar
chibald went to Saint PauPs.
Sydney entered the pulpit, looked
hard at the baronet, and was seized
with wonderful fit of sneezing.
Archie, Archie, Ar-chie" was
how it sounded in Sir Archibald's ears,
and he could not help a sudden laugh
Of recognition.
Semi-weekly herald., 1913-04-07

There is a story told about Sydney
Smith that represents him as carry
ing concealed pun into the pulpit
with him. The most familiar version
is that which Lord Houghton used to
tell. When settled at his small liv-
ing in Yorkshire, Sidney willingly as
sisted his brethren in that neighbor-
hood in their clerical duties. On one
occasion he dined with the incumbent
on the preceding Saturday. The even
ing passed in great hilarity, the
squire, Kershaw by name, being con-
spicuous by his loud enjoyment of
the visitors jokes.
~ am very glad that have amused
you," said Sydney Smith at parting;
"but you must not laugh at my ser
mon tomorrow"
II should hope know the diff
ference between here and church,"
remarked the squire, little tartly,
perhaps.
Pm not so sure of that"
"Ill bet you guinea on it!'
"Take you!" said the divine.
Next day the preacher ascended
the steps of the pulpit, apparently
suffering from severe cold, with his
handkerchief to his face, and at once
sneezed out the name "Kershaw"
several times in various intonations.
This ingenious assumption of the read
mess with which man would recog-
nize his own name in sounds unintel-
ligible to the ears of others proved
accurate. The poor squire burst into
guffaw, to the scandal of the con-
gregation. The minister, after look
ing at him with stern reproach, pro-
ceeded with his discourse and won the
bet.

Editors Leader:-The alarming
spread of pellagra in this State has
become a matter of concern to the
State Board of Health, and arrange
ments are being made whereby an
expert on this disease will be de-
tailed by the government for
special investigation and work
along this line in Mississippi.
Readers of your. paper will recall
that in my June report eight cases
were reported as prevailing in the
county. and that the July report
showed twenty-six cases reported
two doctors failing to report last
month. Several new cases have
been reported since the last report.
This is matter of great concern
to us. and | am now asking the
public, doctors in particular, to let
me know at once the exact name
and location of each case in the
county, with view of plotting
map of the same for investigation
by the government expert. | have
filed request that he be sent to
this county first, or as early as
possible. and the answer is that
this plotting of location must be
done before he will come.

A few years ago. the business
men of the little city of Brook
haven, Mississippi, being confront
ed with what they. at that time.
thought was a great calamity. de-
veloped what has since grown into
an annual May Day festival.
Brookhaven is in the midst OF
what was formerly known as the
great Cotton Empire. Cotton had
been. for years and years, not only
the staple crop of that section.- but
it was practically the only crop.
The land being exceedingly fertile
and the climate particularly favor
able to cotton culture. everybody
seemed to direct their energies.
toward the development Of the cot
ton industry. But all of sudden
the boil weevil came upon the
scene, and his ravages upon the
cotton crop struck CONSERVATION
not only amung the planters of that
section, but among the business
men of the town and cities, as we'll.
OF course. when this pest destroyed
the cotton industry. the business of
that section Of the country was
paraIyzed. The people living in.
the country. not having money to
spend. found little satisfaction in
visiting the towns, and the people
of the towns, not getting business
from the people of the country.
found conditions with them grow
ing from bad to worse.
So the business men Of Brook
haven got together, with the pur-
pose of developing some plan of
remedying conditions. and as re-
suit Of the organized. systematic
campaign that these men put forth,
the community is now more pros
porous than before, as the people
have learned that they can grow
any kind Of crops they desire to-
grow, and are not now dependent
upon any one single crop.
One of the very first things these
business men did was to plan what
they called a Trade Day" On
these trade days the farmers and
others brought in their trading
stock. of all kinds. and great auc-
tions we're held for the purpose Of
|disposina of this property. This
trade feature was opened with a

the,.people of a town ant. "a whole
community become interested in
developing some special day. as the
people of Brookhaven are in de-
veloping their May Day festival,
and devote so much Of their time
and thought to getting up these
special displays for the parade, and
all come together in a spirit Of
mutual friendship and good fellow
ship, that the town and the COM
munity as a whole will be richly
repaid. We believe that the mer-
chants of a town holding such
parades will be well repaid in ac-
tual dollars and cents in the long
run, for their time and effort and
expense. even though they lock
their doors and do not sell one sin.
gle dollars worth of goods on this
special day.
There is no doubt that the people
of the average community of this
country today would be better off
if they would simply throw aside
all business and every care, at least
for one day during the year, and
get together in a great gala day
and have their attention and
thought directed. for the time, at
least, to such fantastic and beauti-
full floats. wagons, automobiles,
etc.. as we see at these carnivals
and in these parades. 1t is worth
something to any community to
have the people of this community
get together and become better ac-
quaiDted with one another. They
think more of one another, as they
thus become better acquainted.
They think more of their town, and
after all. such thinking is the basis
of real patriotism.

this day was the merchants pa.
rade, which was made up of gaily
decorated wagons. floats, automo-
biles and carriages.
This feature of the program has
been continued from year to year
until it has now become an estab-
lished annual affair. Every ybody
in that whole section of the coun-
try now looks forward to the annual
May Day festival and parade, and
there is great deal of rivalry
among the business firms of the
town. and of others. as we'll, in
decorating their carriages and
automobiles for the occasion. The
parade held this year brought forth
a great array of elaborately dec
GRATED carriages, wagons. automo-
biIes and floats of various kinds,
and people came for miles and
miles to join in the festiyity of the
day.
While this annual May DAY had
its birth as business scheme. the
people of Brookhaven have learned
that other features of the day are
worth more to the community than
the mere business developed at the
time.
Not only the people of Brook
haven. but the people of quite a
number of towns throughout the
country are learning the same
thing. For number Of years
there has been change coming
over our people. People are not
today mingling as formerly. Es-
pecialIy is this true of the people
living in the country. The rural
telephone is now in almost uni
versaI use. and great majority OF
our people living in the country
have their mail delivered at the
door.
These thiags have a tendency to
cause people TO remain At home.

COMMITTEE.

Before they had these modern con-
veniences. people went to town for
their mail. and they mingled to.
gether a great deal more than in
this day. There was no means of
their conversing or communicating
with one another. If they did not
get together. Now. thousands and
thousands of our people have only
a telephone acquaintanceship with
others in the community. and the
people of Brookhaven and other
towns and states that are holding
such special gala days as the May
Day festival, are finding that the
real value of these days comes
through the getting the people Of
the community together.
This tendency is growing; in fact,
it is really becoming business
with some. There are some large
concerns that have been developed
for the purpose of supplying dec
orations for occasions Of this kind !:
such, for instance. as the Setback
Artificial Flower Co., and the Will
liam StrehI Co., of Chicago. and
others, who make a specially Of
supplying designs for floats. and
also Of supplying artificial flowers
to trim floats. wagons and automo-
biIes for such parades. and the
Northwestern Compo. Board Co.. Of
Minneapolis. who have developed
a wonderful business in furnishing
materials suitable for constructing
floats, booths, and so on for these
occasions.
1t SEEMS to the Journal that the
tendency is good. All too often
merchants and other business men
look upon things of this kind self
ishIy. Too often effort is made to
get the people Of the community to
cone to town solely for the busi-
ness that can be developed on that
day. Bat we believe that when
