RICH IN HISTORIC INTEREST
Excellent Reasons Why Mississippi's
Old Capitol Should Be Preserved
by People Of State.

A bill for renovating Mississippi's
old statehouse calls for the legislature
Of the state to consider q question
more or less continuously discussed by
Mississippians ever since the compile
ton Of the present capitol in 1908. For
a comparatively modest sum the old
capitol may be restored and put to ex-
cellent and appropriate use. So that
today the sentimental plea for the
buildings preservation is strongly re.
inforced by unitarian arguments.
Mississippi's old statehouse should
be as dear to Mississippians who take
pride in their states history as the
Cabildo is to Louisianians. Built in 1889
the old capitol at Jackson is identified
with the most stirring events in the
most stirring period of Mississippi's
history.
In 1S49 it housed the convention that
formally asserted the principle of
secession as state right. In its hall
the convention Of 1861 was assembled
and the ordinance Of secession passed
During the stormy years just following
the war 1t witnessed the dispossession
of two governors by federal troops
and staged the notorious black and
tan" convention. 1t was the scene OF
the Impeachment trial of Governor
Ames. In 1890 it sheltered the consti
tutional convention which framed and
enacted the franchise plan that solved
the south's most portentious problem

tiss, Lamar, Walthall. George ant
other makers of history have ad

Of the year Lefty was fair stenog-
rapher and bookkeeper, and, as the
young woman who kept books for the
tavern was leaving to get married,
Lefty stepped into her shoes. The
salary was dollar less than her
wages had been when she held the
broom, but she was mighty glad.
"At the end of the year Anthony
comes on his route again, and when
Lefty looked up from her books and
saw him standing, waiting to register,
her heart beat SO that she couldn't
speak.
Anthony looked at her, and his
crouch began to clear away. He al
ways liked pretty girls.

poor Lefty in heaven of ecstasy. Her
god had noticed her again. he was
going to take her out That flashy
chap was a king in Lettys eyes.
q guess Anthony wanted to take
her out all right. though he hadn't the
slightest notion that he had ever met
her before But he fell in with some
of the boys, and they got him into a
poker game, and when he got out, at
midnight, he was S72 in the hole, And
by that time he had forgotten all about
Lefty, who had been waiting all
primped up since eight o'clock.
Lefty cried herself to sleep, and
next morning Anthony was gone be
fore she was down in the office.
She gave up hope then, but she
stayed on at the tavern keeping the
books. She wouldn't have anything
to do with the young fellows of Wake

Anthony? You mean Jim Anthony
who used to cover this territory for
King G. Co.? Why, he has another
route now, and he amt travelling for
King G. Co. any more, neither. And
Letty-you remember Lefty. who used
to be in service here. Well-say, I'd
best start right at the beginning.
Lefty was the housemaid at this
hotel when Anthony was King & Co.'S
best salesman. Her mother had
brought her up very strict, and when
she died Lefty was only eighteen and
knew about as much of the world as a
child does. The house was worth about
two thousand, for property had been
going up for a long time; but Lefty
couldn't live on nothing while it was
on the market, SO she came to the
tavern as second housemaid In those
days service of that kind wasn't con-
sidered anyways lowering in Wake
field.
Anthony was staying over night. 1t
was a small town on his route, and he
hadn't made many sales that year. and
he was naturally o bit depressed. Bat
when he saw Lefty sweeping down the
hall he frightened up bit. Anthony
always liked pretty face. So he
comes up to her.
"'Hello, kid, YOU sure are peach,
he says, and Kisses her. That done,
he goes into his room, thinking no
more about it.
Lefty was nabbergasted. She had
always been taught that TO kiss gill
meant you wanted to marry her. and
here was perfect stranger who had
kissed her the minute he set eyes on
her. The little fool put down heI
broom and began to cry with happi
ness. Anthony was about forty and
rather fat and fashily dressed, but he
was all gold in Letty's eyes.
Next morning Anthony, having re

room carrying his suit case. He mel
Lefty, who had been waiting on the
| stairs. Morning, MISS said Anthony
and passed on, leaving Lefty still more
f1abbergasted.

Generals Scott and Villa
to Meet on Boundary Line

Washington, ID. C.-Brigadier Cen
eral Scott, chief Of staff of the United
States, and General Villa, commander
in-chief of the forces Of the Gutierrez
government in Mexico, have arranged
to confer on the international bridge
at FL Paso, with a view to arriving at
an understanding that will perma-

American territory by Mexican fac
tions fighting along the international

General Villa is on his way north,
and the conference will be held imme-
diately upon the arrival of the Mexi-
can chief.
General Scott has been at Naco for
two weeks trying to bring about an
agreement between General May
torena, commanding the Gutierrez

Land Slides May Halt
Panama Canal Naval Fefe

Washington, D. C.-The possibility
of a postponement of the cruise of the
international feet from Hampton
Roads to San Francisco through the
Panama canal, in connection with the
opening of the canal and the exposi-
tion, was suggested Tuesday in the
course of conference between Secre-
tary Garrison and Colonel Goethals,
governor of the canal.
Though the great earth slides at
Cucaraha have apparently been con-
quered, according to Colonel Goethals'
report, the earth movements continue
in the neighborhood Of Gold Hill. At
that point the superintendent masses
of earth on the side of the canal by
their great pressure, are continuously
forcing rock and soil in great quanti-
ties into the canal prism. The move
ment is sufficiently extensively to re-
uuire the continuous employment OF
dredges to maintain the channel.

sewIno Wounded Hearts.

A Russian surgeon named Zelder re-
ports 81 patients who recovered from
stab wounds OF the heart in the hos
pital at Obuchow. Prompt and rapid
operation Is the probable reason for
this good showing.
The patients were all put under the
influence OF ether very soon after the
injury, part OF the chest wall was re-
moved, the heart lifted from Its bed,
and the stitches quickly introduced
between pulsations. The bony chest
wall over the heart was not put back
in place, that organ being covered only
by skin and muscle. This was done
TO give the heart room to expand and
to prevent adhesions from embarrass-
ing the hearts action. Several OF the
patients are at their daily work after
seven years since the operation.
