If success is not in yourself, it
is nowhere. Some young people
imagine that the reason they are
failures is that they lack friends
to help them. or that they live in
small town instead of big city, or
something else of the same sort.
The fact of the matter is that while
the degree of success may vary
according to environment or cir
cumstances, it is pretty difficult to
take youth with the right mate
rial in him and turn him into
failure. Wherever you put him,
he will do something worth while.
Shakespeare makes one of his
characters say: "The fault, dear
Brutus, is not in our stars, but in
ourselves" And to find the ex-
planation of either failure or sue
cess, we must look within.-The
Visitor.

The Yellow Purp.

In reference to ravages of the
dog among sheep, "The American
Sheep Breeder" brings forward
some convincing evidence of the
worthless capine's destructiveness
to sheep folds. Such evidence as
should make breeders, and those
who contemplate entering the busi-
ness, sit up and take notice. The
State of Mississippi is admirably
adapted to sheep raising, but, we
are told, that on account of the
great number of worthless dogs,
breeders fear to enter the business,
and one Of the most remunerative
industries for the State is checked.
The American Sheep Breeder
says of the worthless dog:

death cost the American flock

YOUNG SHOWERS is TAKEN TO
THE PENITENTiARY; BEGINS
TERM TODAY.

Donning the stripes of convict
which he swore he would rather adopt
than to be forced into marriage with a
girl for whom, he said. he had no love
or affection, Ohio Showers, the 20
year-old Jones county young man, con-
victed last week of seducing 16-year-
old Marston school girl, today began
serving a three-year term in the Mis-
sissippi penitentiary.
Showers stated on Saturday that all
arrangements had been made % ap-
peal his case, and that new testimony
had been discovered which, he said,
certainly would result in his acquittal
at the next trial. Until noon yester-
day, however, no papers had been filed,
and when Sergeant Duvall, of the peni-
rtentiary squad of guardsmen, reached
Hattiesburg, no told the young man to
prepare to accompany him to Jackson.
Showers appeared to be surprised
at the arrival of the travelling ser
geant, but accompanied him to the
train and thence to the state capita
without a murmur.
Even after the jury had fixed the
young mans sentence at three years
in prison. efforts were made by cour
officials to induce him to marry tn
girl and support her and the II
months-old child. Showers stoutly re
fused even to the last. 81 would ratf
