the rapidly maturing arrangements
came 10 a sudden halt The public
funeral vas given up without oS-
PLANTATION. The burial took place
simply. almost secretly, In the
ground of the Temple church None
Of the old literary friends we're
present
This strange change in procedure
has been explained by the state
ment that friends feared that credi-
tors would interfere with the pub
lie funeral by seizing the body, a
right which il is alleged the credi-
tors had under the law at that time.
This explanation has been re-
iterated until it is quite generally
believed. As q matter of fact the
story is without foundation, because
the law Of England never gave
right Of this nature to creditors.
The story has also been quite in
dustriously circulated about Richard
Brinsley Sheridan, who likewise
died heavily in debt. Whatever it
was that changed the arrangements
of public funeral for Oliver Gold
smith, it may be safely asserted as
a legal proposition that there was
not any likelihood that the dead
body would be seized by creditors.
Possibly Forster came near the
truth when he said, at was felt that
a private ceremony would better be-
come the circumstances in which he
died." So it came about that Gold
smith was buried by his lawyer
friends and neighbors within the
boundaries of their own domain.
He had lived his happiest days
among them, and it was after all
more fitting that he should lie down
to his long rest in the midst Of
them rather than in a garish and
splendid tomb in Westminster alb
hey. The exact spot Of the grave has
long been forgotten, but in 1887
the benchers of the Temple inn
placed a marble slab in the church
of the Temple, and this is pointed
out to visitors as the poets resting
place. II is hallowed ground, and
the lawyers who now frequent that
spot may well turn aside from the
plodding course Of their daily rou-
tine and pay homage to the poet
who lived among their brethren Of
another age and loved them with
all the fervor of his simple, honest
heart.

Made Him Famous.

A. M. Palmer, the famous theat-
rical manager, once told a story
which illustrated the reason for
Mansfeld's success on the stage.
Mansfield before he was known to
fame was cast for the part Of Baron
Chevrial, part so small that other
actors refused to play it. The night
of the first performance Mansfield
made the hit of the production
owing to the realistic manner in
which he simulated death from
paralysis. 1t afterward transpired
that he had employed a physician
to coach him in portraying the eff
fects of paralytic stroke.

A Mile Post in Education.
Special Booklets to Be Used In Study
ing Products Of State--Parents
Urged to Visit Schools.

Prof. w. H. Smith, state superin-
tendent of education, will set aside q
week In the schools In the state to be
devoted to the study of Grown In Mis-
sissippi" products. Professor Smith
in starting this movement is making
history. No other state has ever set
aside week in the public schools for
the study of the products Of that state.
No doubt but the influence exerted
during this week on the young people
Of the state of Mississippi will be far
reaching and the week will prove one
Of the most instructive spent In the
school during the entire year This
movement is mile-post In the ad-
vancement of true education.
Study Products In Schools.
To study the products of the state
for week in the schools means that
the boys and girls will become familiar
with those products and thereby be-
come more interested in what the
state is producing.
Professor Holden says that true edu-
cation is preparing for the duties OF
life. The studying Of the products OF
the state in the country schools for an
entire week means that the boys and
girls will be more familiar with the
crops that they are producing and will
produce on the farms in the future.
A specially prepared booklet will be
used in the schools during this week.
and let US hope that every teacher Of
the state will make use Of every op-
portunity to interest the boys and
girls in the products Of the state. Au-
thorities on the various farm subjects
are preparing the manuscript for the
booklet. These booklets will be print
ed by the extension department of the
International Harvester company Of
New Jersey.
Parents to Visit Schools.
Every loyal citizen Of the state Of
Mississippi should visit at least one

study Of Grown In Mississippi prod
ucts. II does not matter whether you

AT THE AUDITORIUM.

Antony and Cleopatra, George Heine's wonderful masterpiece in eight reels. which has been drawing bigger houses at every performance
 will terminate it's engagement here to- night It is an especially interesting photoplay taken entirely from history
 with all the scenes laid in Rome and Alexandri Egypt, with the most bril- liant Italian theatrical stars in the leading roles, and a total cast of 7,5O0 people. There are many wonderful scenes in the picture. Best of all, per haps. is the landing of the Roman sol Giers on Egyptian soil by night and their long march to the capital city. The battle scene immediately after this is also very realistic and thrilling. Running through the entire play is the fascinating love story of the mighty Antony and the beautiful Queen Cleo patra, which results in so startling a manner. The last performance here will be given this evening at o'clock, when this worlds greatest photopIay will be taken to Boston for a long run sn one of fine leading fheaters there.
