Madame de la Maine was still in

PariSianS Take Interest in Struu-

Spectacle.
PEN PICTURE OF FRENCH LIFE
People Make PiIgrimages to Points of
Vantage Behind the Lines Where
Gay Weekend Parties Are
Held - Chatter Shows
Trend of Thought.
BY GEORGE DUFREsNE.

y
Paris.-Parisians have become so
used to the war that they are now
taking great interest in it as a magnif-
cent spectacle. Daily crowds of
French people and tourists from Eng
land and America make pilgrimages
to points of vantage behind the lines,
and gay weekend parties are held.
The following letter comes from a
hotel near Boulogne-Sur-Mer:
If you would focus the war, or that
large part of it which is collected at
the base, come to the hotel

hotel which is, so to say, universal
tryst, sort of Charing Cross, where
everyone meets eventually and in the
end. 1t is a vanity fair, perhaps also
slough of despond and delectable
mountain, where pilgrims of all types
and two sexes jostle and nudge, where

in the ribs, where sentiment turns up
holy eyes at quiet courage, and where
all the medley of actors, interrupted in
their parts by the boots of steamers,
the burr of hydroplanes and the tramp
of route marches are apt to miss their
cues in the fog of general rumor and
incorrigible chatter.
Gould anyone tell what sort of
piece, in what country, he was asked
to watch? Was he assisting at his
majesty's, the comedie franchise, the
empire, or-merely Armageddon?
Listen for moment at random

MEANING Of Yankee.
CTO BE CONTINUED)

Thyre are several conflicting the
cries regarding the origin of the
word Yankee. The most probable is
that it came from corrupt pronun-
citation by the Indians of the word
English, or it's French from Anglais.
The term Yankee was originally ap'
n,ied only to the natives Of the New
england states but foreigners have
extended it to all the natives OF the
IInited States and during the Ameri-
can Civil war the southerners used u
as a term of reproach for all the In
babitants of the North.

Vdrddmdn Gets Even With BiIbo.

One of the smoothest political blows
ever handed ar enemy was the one
landed on Bilbo last week by Varda-
man. Ever since Bilbo accepted the
Dulaney bride money and defeated
Nardaman in the legislature for the
United States Senate, Vardaman has
been watching for a chance to get ever
with him, This he has done so shrewd-
ly and adroitly that even Bilbo scarcely
realizes it.
On the 7th of this month Vardaman
at Pontotoc took occasion to deliver
one of the sharpest denuncIations of
officers receiving brides. The occasion
being an extraordinary one, Varda-
mans words gained wide circulation.
Ten days later when the evil had been
done, and the wound was at its most
malignant stage, the Senator stepped
forward and mended his blow and
again opened the wound by proclaiming
loudly so all might hear, that he did
not intend to refer to Theo. G. Bilbo.
Not since the days of Cicero, was so
subtle a blow delivered. Bilbo in the
midst of a death grapple for his politi-
cal life, Juggling and struggling to draw
to him the brains and Drawn of the
Vardaman political organization: know
ing in his own heart that Vardaman
had only a contempt for him, yet ma
neuvering to make the appearance that
Vardaman was his friend, Bilbo was so
deftly and skilfully struck by Varda-
man that his friends did not at first
fully realize its significance.
When a mar acquainted with the
amenities and refinements of life as
James X. Vardaman is, speaks out and
says that in publicly d%enouncing a dirty
bribe-taking official, he had no refer
ence to Theo. G. Bilbo, the intelligent
friends of Vardaman know that he
showed Bilbo nc respect whatever, and
they further know that Nardaman's
statement in that regard, was con.
sclously, deliberately Intentionally
made. They know that if Vardamar
had entertained any respect personally
or politically for Bilbo, he would no
have said what he did about him. Blu
they know that Vardaman owed Bib,
this treatment, and they know that h,
justly and Intentionally administered i
to him. Vardaman's friends know tina
they W Bilbo nothing. They know
that Bilbo was simply an accident
washed up on the political wave o
Vardaman's popularity. Vardaman'
friends understand the situation full,
and will know how to handle Bilbo O
election day.

Two Distinguished Visitors.

On Monday afternoon Judge Sam C.
Cook of the state supreme court and
Congressman Pat Harrison of the Gull
coast district, stopped over in Grenada
for more than an hour between trains.
They walked up town and were given a
most cordial greeting. Judge Cook is
well known here aud has many friends
in Grenada who appreciate him not only
for his great ability as a lawyer, and
for the service he has rendered as a
member of the judiciary, but for his
splendid worth as a citizen as well.
This was Congressman Harrison IS
first visit to Grenada but he seemed to
know much about the town and was
not unfamiliar with the record Grenada
has attained a. a residence town and
for beauty and cleanliness.
Mr.. Harrison is regarded as one of
Mississippi's brainiest representatives
and is exceedingly popular at Washing
ton and knows how to have things done
up there. He is very affable and I'M
pretentious and a smile is brought to
his countenance more quickly by calling
him Pat than by using any other
appellation. He is one of the youngest
members of the lower house of con-
gress but he has all the skill and effec-
tiveness of the more seasoned states.

Judge Cook and Mr.. Harrison were

latter delivered the annual address
