ROME C. STEPHENSON.

When Rome G. Stephenson earned
MS first dollar he was kept so busy
that he didn't have time 10 contem-
plate on the futility of existence or
even scratch his nose. He had TO do
a ten hour marathon every day with
wheelbarrow trundling shavings
from mill TO a steam biler two blocks
away and repeat. And repeat. And
repeat again, ad infiitum.
1T was the hardest work l ever did
in my life," said Mr.. Stephenson.
After he had told me the details L
had to admit that If il had been much
harder there wouldn't be as much
Rome Stephenson left with us today;
at any rate he would have been less
robust and less genial.
81 was eleven years old then and
we lived down in Wabash. Business
wasn't very brisk, and Jobs were
scarce. A company of three men
came from Reading, Pa, TO stara felt
hat factory in an old tannery there.
That was my chance.
81 worked around doing errands for
them a couple Of weeks to get in their
good graces and finally 1 struck job.

to change his mind.
"'Ali right he said, you take that
wheelbarrow there and go up TO the
hub and spoke works (two blocks dis
tant) and bring down a load OF shay
ings for the boiler; then go back and
get another load and so on to keep
steam up
well" chuckled Mr.. Stephenson.

II had TO step lively TO keep that fire
going. The boiler wasn't so very large
but il had an awful appetite for its
size. Those shavings melted away like
snow on a hot stove and each time
got back with a fresh load of shaw
ings. the last were nearly all burned
up. Say, 1 was busy."
l agreed that he must have been.
Didn't they have any heavier stuff
TO go with the shavings?"
mo, not a thing-except what few
small blocks might be mixed in at
the hub-and-spoke works, but not
enough TO amount to anything"
"Phew," 1t was showing outside
but l mopped my brow.
All of US who, in order to keep from
freezing to the furniture, are obliged
to shovel coal frequent and often into
unresponsive furnaces, can get faint
idea of what extreme activity was re-
quired to keep d fire going under that

NEW YORK, Jan. 5.-Into one of
the most expensive and exclusive
jewelry shops on Fifth av. there came
a woman of perhaps As, and g girl of
about 20, undoubtedly her daughter
Mother wanted to give daughter
ring for her birthday. and desired
daughter TO make her own selection.
The jeweler brought out tray after
tray of costly settings-rubies, emer-
aids, sapphires, turQuoises, Opals dia-
monds. He expauated upon them,
one after the other-the latest. the
most unique, the most tasteful. etc.
They all bored the girl to distraction.
None received more than a petulant
frown or a word of disapproval.
Finally the jeweler displayed an ex-
quisite combination of diamonds and
emeralds. The mother took it from
him and held it up pleadingly to her
child.
Don't you like. that dear?" she
coaxed.
The girl eyed the bauble indiffer-
emily. cts price was $4,000 Then,
as though tired of the episode, she
languidly drawled: All right, moth
er dear I'll take that"
The jeweler courteouslv asked her
to remove her glove, so that he might
measure her finger. The frown re-
turned to her face. "Oh. 1 can't do
that" she protested.
The merchant Ventured to urge.
The mother added a timid plea. The
girl rose, greatly annoyed IT'S alto

The woman who told this story was
walking through a cross street, near
Times square. to get a Broadway
car. Ahead Of her walked a small,
mOdishly-dressed, attractive woman,
umbrellalesS and getting soaked.
The woman with the umbrella
quickencd her pace and offered a
share of her overhead protection to
the stranger. who accepted with a
nod and a smile, but said nothing till
the corner was reached and they
stood together at the curb. Then she
looked up into her comDanion's face
and whispered, with a little pressure
of her arm:
Shay, lesh have drink. while wait
for ear. huh?"
And she was just as nice-lOoking

when she told the story.

have nothing else to do congregate

DROWNING MEN GRAB AT STRAWS.

The little secret caucus bunch are very much chagined at

The Free Press undoubtedly presumes very strongly on the ig-

in the vote that 7 out of the toal of 40 received. Now let us look
at these. Paul Johnson was named circuit Judge by Gov. Noel and

body be made to believe that Blbo and his friends would see any

and when his (Morrson s. campaign manager, +. / Winston of
Poutotoc county. was a rank adherent of the Lieutenant Governor,
and after BilbO had assured Morrison that he would keep hands off ?
Let Mr.. Bibo himself answer this.
The Free Press fails to comment on Bilbos law partner, Ship
nan who was a candidate for Judge, losing the town where it is
printed and where he lives, and failing to get into the second pi-
mary. it fails to tell about Donald, who played turnkey for Bilbo in
the last legislature, failing to carry his own precinct or his own town
and getting less than a 1000 votes out OF a total of 5000. The Free
Press also fails to record that Judge Brien beat the socks off his OPP

To the Voters of the Fifth Judicial Dis.
trict of Mississippi:

To the Voters of the Fifth Judicial Dis.
trict of Mississippi:
wish to thank each of you who SC
Loyalty endorsed my short administra-
ton as your Judge; and, if BY clearing
up your dockets and reducing your
court cost you feel that | should be al
lowed to complete my term, ! shall
thank you most sincerely.
The victory, though yet incomplete,
has been a most noble one in a most
righteous cause; a cause for the free.
dom of the ballot, for the overthrow of
the political dictator, and for the res
toration of the sovereign right OF the
voter to select his own officer.
But | must urge that the victory is
only partly complete, and l now call
on every patriotic voter to stand with
me on Sept. Sth, 1914, and cast his vote
for political independence, for the en-
forcement of the law, and for a bust
ness and economical administration.
The result of the recent primary now
gives to Winston county, the, home of
my opponent, the Chaneery ~Judgeship,
and, if my fitness for office equals that
of my opponent, you may consider the
fact that it might be fair for Alfalfa to
retain the Circuit Judgeship for at
least one whole term.
Respectfully submitted,
J. A. Teat.
