A Millionaire Meets His Match.
(NeW York Times

Water is an obstinate substance, in spite of it's seeming docility and duc- tility, and while it will go almost any
 where and do almost anything under compulsion, it simply will not learn new habits and never for a moment stops trying to run down hill. It is worse than a cat in it's determination not to remain in positions or pastures not selected by itself, and nothing seems to please it more than to leak out of something where it's presence is desired-unless it be to leak into something where it isn't wanted. It IS violent and destructive under the in fluencc of both heat and cold, and it is sceaselessly at work on the dread ful task Of destroying all scenery and reducing the whole world to the mo- notonous dead level which is the one object of it's low ambition.
 To these peculiarities of water must be ascribed the difficulties which MT. Rockefeller has encountered in trying to ornament his POcantico es- tate With a little lake. This is d perfectly innocent desire, and there is no obvious reason, social, physical, or financial, why he should not grat- ify his yearning to have lake en- t1rely his own. There are already not a few lakes, large and small, scattered through the region where his property lies, and in every one of these water remains in entire con- tentment. At great expense MT. Rockefeller has dug out and neatly lined a depression where water would seemingly be as comfortable as in any other, but from this generously provided resting place it has now all escaped for the second time, going nobody knows where and leaving what ought to be a cheering feature of the landscape a mere hole in the ground. As credible rumor has it that Mir. ROckefellerS resources are consider able, and as his knowledge of what he wants is backed by a long -estab- lished habit of getting it, the chances are that in time he will make his lake stay put at least for a while. It will be struggle of giants, how ever, and it is just as well that MT. Rockefeller is not a betting man. He might lose for once.

Dance of the Sand Hill Cranes.
(kanSas City Star.)

Little Janet lived on q ranch and when the herd boy was absent she used to mount Jack, her Indian pony, and go out on the range to see that the COWS did not wander too far Janet and Jack had rOamed the prairies so long together that they were not afraid of anything they were likely to see, but there came a day when they were surprised
 A wandering calf led the pair to the top of a little hill, where they stopped in astonishment. There, not 20 rods away, was a flock of very large long-legged birds moving in a kind of dance or game.
 Janet knew they were cranes for she had seen many, and now she re-

\ Cat and a Rat.
(PittSburg Dispatch. )

Long, long ago in the days when Egypt was at the height of her power the cat was held sacred by all and honored in many ways. And now, it seems, tabby is to be honored in this age in most unusual fashion. At least one cat is, for a monument is to be erected to her in the old Eng fish town of Newport.
 This tabby is d French one and she saved the life of an English of ficer, Lieutenant Lloyd of the Gren- adler guards. The officer the story runs, became separated from his reg
 iment after one of the fierce en- agreements where the allies and the Germans are fighting so desperately each day. He managed to make his way to an old house, where he lay, exhausted, for three days.
 And when his comrades finally found him the cat was curled around his neck. But for this fact, it is said, he would have died of the cold. But tabby'S warm fur kept him warm. And now monument to her is to be erected in the officers home town.
 Another story that comes from the war zone in Europe is that of a rat that was under fire at the battles of CllC AlSllC, MO1S ana the MdrnG. Through the entire campaign he was comfortable in the pocket of his mas ter, Sergeant Johnson of the English royal field artillery
 At the outbreak of the war Billy for that is his namc-waS given to his master by q young French girl. Billy is pure white and a great pet. While the battle was raging at Mons he chung to his masters boot, un- mindful of flying bullets and burst ing shells. And he wasn't wound ed, either though his master was at the battle of SoiSsons in October. Sergeant Johnson-now prom oted to be lieutenant-WaS ordered home. to recover from his wounds; of course he took Billy with him. And Billy became the pet of the entire hospital.
 Another strange feature of the story i, that when the wounded officer landed at Southampton, Eng, a wom- an gave him d black terrier puppy named Toby, and Billy and Toby are fast friends having forgotten entire ly tho natural enmity that exists be- tween d terrier and a rat.

Tie Lifc-SaVinm St, Bernard.

After visiting the famous HOSDiCe of St. Bernard and observing how eager are those wonderful dogs to rescue the perishing out in those awful storms which sweep over the Alps, Dr. Russell II. Connell of Phila- delphia elouuently gives the following description:
 "One morning after a storm, one of those great, honest creatures came struggling through the snow. ham, pered greatly in his exhausted con- dtion. I waded deep in the drifts. following the laundering old fellow around the hospice to the kennel, which was a room of considerable size.
 When the door was opened to the Nanderer, the other dogs within set up a chorus of barlIs and whines, and fell over one another as they crowded about him, and eagerly followed him around with WagS of their tails and inquisitive looks in their eyes, which are just as intelligent questionings as so many interrogation points.
 '-But the crestfalleI beast held his head and tail to the floor, and sneaked about from corner to corner and finally lay down panting in d dark niche in the stone basement. He lay there with his eyes g}ancing out at the corners in a most Shameraced way
 ''The young monk called the weary dog by name, and when the beast would not leave his shadoWy retreat, the priest tried to induce him to come forth by. showing him a dish contain ing scraps of meat. But. hungry as he was, he merely opened his eyes a little wider, rapped the floor once or twice lightly as he gave s feeble wag of his tail, and then shrank back. and seemed not to hear or see the invita- tion.

very soon and that the creature prob ably felt ashamed that he had not found anyone. ,.4 --5
 "The thoughtless remark shot into my deepest soul with a thrill. That noble fellow seemed to have felt so Gad, so ashamed, or so guilty because he had returned without saving any one that he could not eat. It was not his fault that no benighted Wanderer mad been out benumbed and dying on the mountain road that awful night. He had grandly done his duty; but he was just dog enough not to reason so far and just human enough to feel that it was his imperative duty to save some one.
 Grand old fellow! How he ought t. put to shame many a human souls who knows there are travellers going GCWn in the biting cold and the over Whclming storms of life's mountainous highways, and yet who ever saved even one such '.s

The Manifold Appeals for Giving.
 Springfield Republican,

The national association of Audu- bon societies for the protection of wild birds and animals finds it's regu - lar subscriptions falling away, because Of the stress of the times, and it appeals for special help in order that the cause of bird protection may not go backward in the legislatures or through the undermining of laws all ready enacted by congress or in the states. Those who can spare more money will be expected to respond to this appeal and every member of the association should be especially watch ful in his locality against any re- actionary movements in legislation. In this way no real ground needs to be lost, even though the fumes of the as- sociation may shrink for the tune.
 The situation in which the Audubon societies find themselves is com- mOnplace at this time. The mails are full of statements of need and re- quests for assistance from orga niza- tions representing every sort of phil anthropic and edi1ca tional work. This evidence of the dem oralization which has grown out of the war in Europe is never ending in it's flow. Those who have money to give will do we'll to lay down the broad proposition that they will assist. to the extent of ability. the esta blished causes whose work is most vital to the social welfare It is 9 time for intelligent choice, and for givers and receivers to make their money go just as far as 1t can be stretched
 One of the vices of recent years has been the multiplication of all sorts of organizations with objects often more fanciful than vital. The element of personal exploitation has been per Inltted to have d great run, for we are an anliable, if not a careless, people. New societies are not needed where elder ones can be made to do the work. 1t is in order to strengthen the hands of the really essential, and not to strain point in favor of fads and fancies not always we'll considered. When Springfield centers her atten- tion upon making her Union Relief association more powerful agent for the intelligent relief of local need she is setting the best kind of an example.

TALKING ABOUT ROOSEVELT.

There has begun a discussion as to welt will be in the next republican national campaign. It has long been felt that he would like to run for president on the republican ticket be- cause he thinks that he could be elected, but republicans as a rule, especially the leaders, do not want him to return to the old organization on any such terms. They are leaning towards ex-Senator Root whom they think is the strongest candidate they ca1ld nominate. He has said, however, that he does not care to be considered because he is now over 70 and would if elected be 72 before he could be 1 inugurated and that would in al probability preclude all possibility o! | hs being re-nominated for years later. II luch admired by, MT. Roosevelt at Il oe time there is some question as to II wether he would support him now, II Saator Root camH out against the ] cOnel ill the last national election al MT. Roosevelt is not likely to for ge that. It is believed that he would suport a progressive, especially such nm as Senator Borah of Idaho, cx
 Seator Burton of Ohio or Senator Weks of Massachusetts, but he would pTcr to run himself.
 he more astute leaders of the re- pTlican party are inclined to think
 tht the colonel would be a weak
 calidate for the presidency, believing
 ths large mum Der. of the republi-
 can would vote against him because
 of is attitude towards Mr. Taft in

 didtes for the republican nomina- tio1b but there is a fear that the wreg man may carry the convention of Is superior ability many republic leadrs are inclined to urge Senator Roo to run and they think that if he WoU only announce his candidacy thatther candidates would be rather inclicd to allow him a clear field Thel is much evidence, however, that this a wrong impression because tho otheb think that next year will be a prpitious one for republicans ant 1 they would like to get d. chance at the Eesidency. No one will care tt pass up chance like that fol no Cher reason than to please 1 anothr candidate.

Now that the feminine styles have widened where the hObble used to be. the fair sex seems to have insisted that there be no moro cloth used, or at least not quite as much as in the old days. Consequently to be dressed smartly one must wear a skirt wide at the bottom but not containing any n>ore cloth than the hobbled garment mad. The problem has been solved by making the skirt so shol. that three or four inches of hosiery appears be- tween the top of the shoe ond the bot tom of the skirt.

 and the list of the unem- seontinues to be large. Inmi- Tn Commissioner Skcffington, llas headquarters in Boston, says t he has forty positions to fill in [ke west which pay from $3O to $40 kA month and board, and he also urges New England farmers in need of help to call on him, as he has d number of applicants for just such work as they can now offer.
 An effort was made d year or two ago to encourage people to engage in farm work, but it was not wholly sue cessful. The farmers hours are long, he rises early and works late; the man who has lived all his life in the city does not want to work under such conditions, and refuses to profit by the temporary assistance such work gives, preferring to continue in idleness, the end of the season tind- ing him poorer than he was in the spring, while the man who accepted it has kept out of debt and has saved few dollars. It is not always pos sible for a man to obtain the same kind of employment he has been en- gagged in, and if he hasn't trade he must be content with what he can pick up until there is a revival of the business in which he is most prof. cient. Crops must be planted and har- vested, no matter whether the times are prosperous or not and those out of their regular employment can earn considerable money during the sum- mer months by working in the fields until the business boom returns.

our ship of state and that his
clear eye is ON the lookout for
humanity's interest and safety,
and that, as long as consistent
with national honor he will
steer us clear of war if human
intelligence can arrange it. So
long as Woodrow Wilson is at
the helm we can pursue our
avocations as usual and the
greatest service we can render
our great country just now is
TO uphold the hands Of her
President, serve where we are,
develop the natural resources
and improve ourselves and be-
come more useful citizens, an d
in this service we also best
serve ourselves.
No man better serves than
the farmer today for it is he
that brings us the balance of
gold, and makes our country
strong,
So nothing is more in line
with our greatest progress and
welfare in agriculture which
institutions like yours here
in Neshoba County tend SO
strongly to promote.
