1HECOJN7RI RIBOYSc CREED

Just who wrote the following, no one
knows, but it IS a gem, since it breaches
"a splendid little sermon of philos ophy:
HIS CREED
I believe that the country which God
made is more beautiful than the city
which man made; that life out of doors
and in touch with the earth is the
natural life of man. | believe that work
with nature is more inspiring than
work with the most intricate machinery.
l believe that the dignity of labor
depends not on what you do, but how
you do it; that opportunity comes to a
boy on the farm as often as to boy in
the city; that life is larger and freer
and happier on the farm than in the
town ;that my success depends not upon
my dreams, but upon what I actually
do; not upon luck, but upon pluck.
believe in working when you work, and
in playing when you play, and in CIV
ing and demanding a square deal in
every act of life.

REV. FATHER IRWIN
HAS VERY CLOSE CALL
FROM DROWNING
Former Bay st. Louis As
sistant Pastor, New Locat-
ed at Ocean Springs, Has
Battle With Waves Near
Deer Island.

OCEAN SPRINGS, Miss, Aug. t2-
Almost completely exhausted after a
terrible battle with the waves, Father
w. S. Irwin, of st. Alphonsus Catholic
Church here, finally dragged himself
ashore at Deer island, and making his
way to pier on the other side OF the
island, got launch and was brought
back to Ocean Springs.
Father Irwin, accompanied by small
boy, Master Sion, was out sailing
Monday afternoon in small catboat.
He was ontside of Deer Island, where
the sea swell rolls. When about 300
yards off shore, Father Irwin attempted
to iibe, instead of coming about, and
the frail craft capsized'
AS he has not swan for more than
two years, Father Irwin, terribly
handicapped besides by his heavy
clothes, was in imminent danger of
drowning. The boy fortunately was
an expert swimmer. Both, made the
shore safely, Father Irwin being al
most completely exhausted. He has
been confined to his bed ever since.

ODDITIES or LEGLSLa TON

Despite the publicity given to freak
upon them by thoughtful newspapers,
Legislators continue to make laws which
are so absurd that their enforcement is
impossible, and politicians bend the
statutes to suit their own ends and
personal advancement regardless of the
good of the State. Wisconsin, which
has been more or less in the liinelight
for freak laws, has passed a law maxi
ing it compulsory for person to pay
S5 for license to give away cigarettes.
Cigarette smokers who have been in the
habit of "buming the makings'' or ask
ing a friend for cigarette cannot do
SO without subjecting the friend to
sixty day jail sentence. The legislature
of Georgia has passed a law to prevent
legislators from entering the legislative
halls in an intoxicated condition. Al
though Georgia is dry state, she is
the only State in the Union which has
deemed it necessary to pass such law.
The 'soft drink" men of Georgia are
also up in the air over a new "soft
drink bill which has been introduced.
By this bill, every soft drink stand in
the state will have to pay license of
from S25 to $50 year; every bottling
plant shall pay a license of S100 year;
all manufacturers of soft drinks shall
pay a tax of ten cents per gallon on all
syrups, twenty-five cents on all tine
lures and fifty cents per gallon on all
extracts used in soft drinks. Texas,
also, steps into the light with curious
perversion of law for the purpose Of
reprisal. The wet and dry forces of
Wichita Falls have been about equally
divided. Recently the bartenders re-
fused to vote for the candidates of the
labor unions, and now all labor unions
are going to get even by voting out the
saloons and depriving the recalcitrant
bartenders of their jobs. Landlords
in the business section of the town are
going to be made to suffer also. They
turned down recently petition to re-
duce rents. Now these renters are
going to vote out the saloon in order to
throw q vacant stores rooms on the
real estate market and thus force down
rents. In Chicago woman is urging
the passage of an ordinance to force
milkmen to wear rubber heels on their
shoes,

Pass Christian Rulers
Are ambitious

The city fathers of Pass Christian
are becoming ambitious. Some time
ago they decided to issue $4,000 oil
bonds for the erection of a fine city
hall. Some objection developed
against the issue, but it failed to get
the requisite twenty per cent of the
qualified voters and was unavailing.
However, the councilmen have not yet
ordered the bonds sold. They are
aiming higher.
They Wantno much higher bond
issue. They want the streets of the
city beautified more and they want a
better fire service. The city already
has waterworks system, but it is
enough only for supplying hom es with
water. 1t is not sufficient, the water
being carried only in three inch pipes,
for IRE service. The plans of the
council contemplate the drilling OF
some large wells and the installation
of ample fire plugs over the city. Com
mittees of citizens are to cooperate
with the council in aseertaining what
the cost of this system would be, also
the cost OF beautifying tn e streets. II
the cost runs up to SIS, 900 or sio0, 900,
there would be no trouble in getting
that much bonds carried, according to
F. L. Patenotte, one member OF the
council.
Pass Christian is well managed f.
nancially and has small boned debt.
1t has issued $4,000 of school bonds,
on which a payment Of 81 900 will soon
be m.de.

HELEN BASS SENT
BACK TO NEW YORK
Pretty Gotham Girl Who Figured In
Sensational Case Here
Discharged.

Judge William S. Case, at brief
session of superior court Yesterday,
discharged Helen Bass, alias Miller,
with the understanding that she re-
turn to her brothers home in New
York. As the girl is without means
the state will pay her transportation
and the Hartford probation officer
! Will see that she gets to her home.
Al Herman, who was sentenced to
Jail for sixty days on two counts
was also discharged as he has already
served more than that time in Jail.
The penalty melted out to him in the
local court was the maximum for his
offense.
The Bass girl was arrested here for
theft and Herman for improper re-
lations with her. She was later re-
arrested charged with stealing a
travelling bag at the Hotel Bond. AS
these offenses were committed about
three months ago the court thought
that the ends Of justice had been met
irasmuch as both have been In Jail
since then.
