The Home Paper.

It wants you on it's reading ist recorded in it's books, and then you'll getit every week and know just how it looks.
 1t will tell you all about the news, in this and nearby towns who gets married, dies, is born, and who elopes or drowns.
 There isn't thing from A to z that tends to help the town, that the paper dosen't catch it up and quickly pass it around.
 It tells about your visitors, with titles emphasized, while all their points of merit are freely generalized.
 It tells the story of success, but screens the failure side, and when the facts would make a mess, it simply lets them slide.
 It tells about your virtues, and overlooks your sins, and puts an extra emphasis on the birth of twins.
 It never designes to tell a lie except in personal praise, and then it does it clean and clear and with it's choicest phrase.
 In writing up your marriage, it elaborates with care, and says the bride was beautiful and the groom was on the square.
 It dosen't matter who It is that crosses Jordan s river. the paper tickets him as saint, and safely send him thither.
 It tells about that darling boy who had a dollar raised, leaves out his measly little tricks and just recites his praise.
 And there's your daughter on the street, gadding night arc day, of all the rumors slow or fleet, it wisley does not say.
 It paints out every blemish on the picture of your life, and paints in every virtue of a home that has no strife.
 It learns to read between the lines and finds the tender spots, to blow not cold on young or old, It does not matter what.
 It senses all the skeletons be- hind the closet door and runs it's big blue pencil through the lines and then turns them OCT.
 It knows about your weakness es, your little streaks of yellow, just how to smother ill reports to make them smooth and mellow.
 It know what families live in peace, and those most apt to jar, and whether its just birthmark or a sad domestic scar.
 It knows the man who pays, and the one who could but won't and all the chronic knockers and the one who makes a "bunt."
 It knows the financial stand ing of every man in town. and whether it's living or cheerless giving that always keeps him down.
 Unlike the city dailies that delye in scandals sewer, 1t elimi- mates the sewerage and returns the good and pure.-Ex.

POLICE CAPTURE
 BIRD LAST NIGHT
Identity of Yellow One tNot Estab.
 lished Up to Early Today.

A handsome, saucy little bird, which resembles canary in every respect except that it's bill is long and pointed, was captured in the po lice Headquarters last night. and is now being generally recognized as the pet of the police department.
 Early in the night, a big owl flirted about the station until some Of it's feathers were clipped by a shot from a pistol The owl flew off, and the mosquitoes, electric light bugs, and other small game had undisputed possession, until the little bird was discovered
 |, There, was active, energetic work of the part of the officers, to capture the bird, steady chase being neces- sary because there was no salt in the station house, but finally one of the fleetfooted policemen ran the "crit- ter' down and placed it in a cage. It greatly ress smbles an oriole, in color, size, shape and other ways, but it's identity will likely be established to- day through the aid of a local or nithologist.
 'With owls and other birds coming around so free, it's getting so we need one of them what-ye-call-em ornithologists, around here," said one of the officers, after the bird had been caged.

 At the library, reference works are pbtainable, from which contestants may gather the information they de- sire before they make answer to the questions propounded in the contest, and judging from the demand for those reference volumes, many youngsters have studied the matter and will have their papers in before the closing hour.

 The following are the ten Ques- tions which must be answered, and the contestants must remember that their parents mus place their sigma lures to the paper, along with the signature of each contestant:

 3-What do books mean to you?
 4-What book in the library do you like best? Why?

NEGRO SLEUThS FAIL ID APPEAR;
 ACCUSED LET OFF
Warrants Out for "Spot- terS" Who Are Believed
 to Be Working at Warren.

Because of the absence from the city of Will Lloyd and Charles Lewis, negro detectives or "spotters" of Greenvlle, Miss, who were necessary witnesses for the prosecution, Will Comfort and Dick Lucius, negroes from Stuttgart, were ordered dis charged from custody by United States Commissioner A. L. Burnett yesterday.
 Comfort and Lucius were charged with violating the federal internal revenue laws, by the sale of liquor without United States license. They have been in custody almost q week, being unable to furnish bond. When the cases were called yester- day, and the absence of necessary government witnesses became offi- cially known, Commissioner Burnett announced that he was not dispos cd to keep the negroes in jail any longer and ordered their discharge, dismiss ing the charges against them.
 Warrant For SpOtters
 That warrants have been issued for the arrest of Lewis and Lloyd, out of Justice of the Peace c. F. Roebuck's court, has been generally known since the issuance of the warrants s about a week ago, but so far the negroes have not been brought back to the city, although.it is understood the negroes are at Warren, making a campaign against alleged bootleggers.
 The negroes are accused of having given whiskey to a minor, their own hot of houvr hbnn offered in Justice of the Peace Cliff c. Brewster's court some time ago when they testified in the case against Nose Hardimap, negro charged by them with bootlegging They testified .they purchased the whiskey from Hardiman, and then gave him some, which he drank. At that time Attorney Creed Caldwell representing Hardiman, in open court called attention to the violation of the state law by the "spotters" and demanded that the authorities take action against them. The warrants issued for the "spotters were issued, it is said, at the instance of Attorney Creed Caldwell.

GREAT BRITAIN
APPREHENS|vE Of
JAPAN 5 DEMANDS
China'S Independence at an
End if Conditions Insisted
Upon by Toxic Are Granted
by Oriental Republic.
.sr .osnlss .ou.n.. sr.el.. .,.sse r,r,l

London, March 10 C0:50 y. m -
The Economist, in commenting on
Japan's demands on China, as printed
by the Manchester Guardian, which
the Economist declares agrees closely
with the version published In Amer
lea, says that III authentic, and if
CHINA has accepted anything like all
the demands presented the silence Of
the foreign office may shroud very
grave danger To business interests
They constitute most serious
attack on the independence and in
tegrlty of China"
The Economist declares that If in
the Yangtse Kiang basin Japan is TO
have exclusive mining rights and be
allowed to construct railroads. they
must seriously affect British inter-
ests. The paper adds that Japan
cannot afford either the cost or dis
credit of creating, by military aggres-
sion, fresh chaos in China.
The doctrine Of the open port and
the open door ought to be pursued
steadily in the interests OF China and
OF the future good will prevail among
the nations who trade with her" the
/ Economist maintains Fortunately
this seems TO be the view Of Washing
ton and the object Of American diplo-
macy"
The Nation. in an editorial on the
subject says:
Taken as a whole. these demands
come near to a declaration Of Japa-
nese suzerainty over the Chinese en-
pire. An empire which cannot bor-
/ row money or engage an official with
out the consent Of a foreign power
has lost its independence. China will,
in short, stand TO Japan as Persia
stands to Great Britain. This is at
one blow, to settle the largest political
question of the east and an economic
interest hardly less serious The
situation is extremely delicate and
there may be limits to the action
which the allies can take now,
whether to protect China's political
I independence which we have guaTan-
teed by treaty or to safeguard their
own economic interests Japan is fl
nancially dependent on the west She
cannot, in the long run, altogether ig-
more our views
