A YOUTHFUL ADVOCATE
Fly CHARLES H. MANDY

Possibly the legal profession is more attractive to the youth of the land than any other profession. This is due in part to the prominence that attorneys. past and present. have attained in pub lie and private life. The practice of law calls for a high degree of intelligence and as some one has said you may some times hear of lawyer who is rascal, but rarely hear of one who is a fool

Washing gton. June 16-tSpecial Al though it is some time away, Missis sippi is to be the scene of bitter senatorial fight beside which the re- cent fight in Alabama between Rep resentative Hobson and Senator elect Underwood will seem mere child's play. The term of Senator John Sharp Will Hams as senior senator from Missis- sippi will expire March 4. 1917. In the summer of 1916 Mississippi will hold the primaries which will name the sue cessor of the distinguished senator, who is one of the acknowledged lead CTS of the Senate, and admittedly one of that sbody's most learned men.
 When Senator Williams was elected to the Senate he had as his opponent Senator, then ex-Governor, Nardaman. The fight was historic and since Will Hams had all the prestige of a long and worthy record in Congress where he had risen to the leadership of the minority, everyone outside of the state believed he would win easily, but he was elected by less than a thousand votes majority over Vardaman It was a campaign so hard fought. so bitter and full of spectacular incidents that it made enemies and drew lines in Mis- sissippi which have never been oblit- erated. All the bitterness and heat of that campaign will spring into life again in the next, for it has been only smoldering since

"Suit yourself"

And SO it was agreed.
That evening, when the clock
struck nine, J. Wallingford Speed was
ready and willing to drag himself off
to bed, In spite of the knowledge that
Fresno was waiting to take his place
in the hammock. He was racked by
a thousand pains, his muscles were
sore, his back lame. He was con-
sumed by a thirst which Glass stoutly
refused to let him quench, and pos

whisper: Come on, Gull! Get up!'
When he turned W. 1t was onl.

The remaining two hats are quite

must be wired to shape and mounted
on a bandeau or cap to give the prop

A charming black hat is shown In

Hats in this shape, with moderately
large and high crowns, and brims mar
row and almost straight, are to be
seen in every color and variety OF ma
terial, and trimmed in all the trim
mings known to millinery. This is
the new sailor shape, and n of those
lucky ventures of the hat manufac-
turers that take the feminine world by
storm.
Ribbons with small flowers or rib
bons with fancy feathers and orna-
ments, prove to be the choice of the
majority for trimming the sailor
shape. 1t is a simple matter, too, to
place the trimming successfully, and
this hat has been a ready seller to
those thrifty women who undertake
to make their own simpler millinery.
This accomplishment, by the way, is
quite the fashion, and is not confined
to those women who wish to trim
their hats for the sake of economy
alone. 1t is something of a fad with
people who do not need to think of
economizing, but who enjoy making
up beautiful things of any kind. This
