More Lines to Old Doc Trouble. You've driven weddings from the
 game,
 You've made the loafers quit; You've led the right sort on to fame That waits beyond the pit, You've trained the soft to meet the
 test
 Beneath the flags that fly, And yet they curse you without rest; I wonder why? You've taken those, arrayed in fat, And trained them down to weight; You've sent them ready up to bat To hit the curves of Fate; You've forced the laggards in the
 fray
 From dull content to fly; And yet they curse you night and
 day;
 I wonder why?

Fight or fall' states the test, But twice hard 'tis to fight and fall; To know that you have done your best
 Yet at the end must taste the gall; No wine of victory for your cup, No leaves of laurel for your brow; And hope no longer bears you up None but the Reaper seeks you
 now. Your old time friend, your ancient
 foe
 Have left your trail and gone their

 Fades like your dreams of yes-

 Looms but the horror of the

NEW LAW FoRHiDs LEAVING
TURTLES ON THEIR BACKS

Savannah. Ca. Feb. There >will
be no more turtle-turning on Georgia
beaches. under the provisions of the
substitute bill agreed upon in the leg
islature as an amendment to the game
and fish laws. 1t protects sea turtles
by prohibiting the sport" in the only
season in which it is possiblerduring
the spring and summer months.
Vacation parties have been in the
habit of going out at night on the
Georgia beaches and turning big sea
turtles on their backs for fun" Some
times the turtles are hauled away in
wagons and used as food, but oftener
they have been left on the beach to
become the helpless prey of buzzards.
It will still be permissible to turn
turtles over for fun" but they must
not be left in that position; they must
be turned back on their feet.

HAS MADE A RECORD AS
A CATCHER or CRIMINALS
Appointment Has lNot'yet Been Made,
But It Is Known That He Has Been
Recommended for the Position by
Chief Of Police Bennett--seores Of
Applications Have Been Received
BY the Commissioners, Who win
Act Soon.

All of you members of the small
army of would-be policemen who have
been at work ever since II was first
rumored that there was going to be a
vacancy on the. Hattiesburg police
force. just as we'll be directing your
attention toward landing some other
job.
While the vacancy to. be declared
on February IL. when M. T. Sheehan
sewers his connection with the Hat
tiesburg government. has not been
filled. it is but question of formality
when it will be done.
Thomas Cahal, better known as
Tom Cahal, former deputy sheriff
under the late J., d. Bennett, is to- be
appointed to the position, if the plans
of Chief of Police Bennett and the
City Commissioners are not changed.
1t became known today that Chief
Bennett has recommended to the com
missioners that Cahal be given the
appointment, and it is more than prob
able that the chiefs recommendations
will be carried out.
Cahal has some little reputation as
a criminal detector and as guardian
of the peace. He was one of Sheriff
Benefits outside men, and figured in
number of important arrests while
in office. For the last several months
he has been connected with the de-
partment for the eradication of ticks
in Forrest county.
Sheehan's resignation has not yet
been formally acted upon, but 1t is
expected that it will be accepted dur
ing the next day or two.

: ssseiss Right of Franchise, All
Taxes, Including FoiI. Must se Paid
'oday-Amount Of Money Collected
on Closing Days This Year Muel,
Smaller Than for Corresponding
Period Of Last vear-To stay open
Late. "a


II looks this afternoon as il nearly
every voter ir Forrest county Is 60
ing to be in a position to go up to
the polls ON November Z and drop in
little ballot for Woodrow Wilson
against the entire field.
From. the big stream Of taxpayers
which has poured into the City Hall
and into the Court House all day, it
is beginning to look as il nearly every
voter in the county will have paid up
his Indebtedness to the county and to
the city, will be given receipt, and
will be made eligible to vote in the
national, special and city elections
this year.
The grand rush to pay taxes began
Saturday. Yesterday, more than 600
persons had paid their taxes at the
Court House. and when closing time
came last night, sheriff HARRISON and
HIS corps of assistants were good and
glad to lock up and go home.
But early today, as soon as the
doors were re-opened, it seemed that
there were just as many more people
anxious to get their tax receipts.
The amount OF money paid in to
the sheriff and tax collector during
the last two or three days. is much
smallerFt than that on the correspond
ing days of last year. This is due
to the fact that the larger corpora
tions. or mafiy of them, at least, paid
their taxes in December, last, while
the preceding year, they waited until
the very last day before getting their
tax receipts.
Sheriff HARRISON will keep his office
open as long as there is anybody in
sight to pay tonight. w. F. Estes,
city cashier. will do the same thing at
the City Hail. They are hoping, how.
ever, that most OF the taxpayers will
have visited their respective Officers
by supper time.

Old Enqlish Furniture.

That fine old furniture is yet found
in Great Britain in many unexpected
places is said to be largely due to the
stirring up of the country that was
given by the greaS exhibition at Lon
don of 1851. This was soon after the
development of the railway system In
England. and there 1ocked to London
a large number of squires and their
wives. A new world had opened to the
country danes. The new things had a
wonderful fascination for them. On
returning home they got rid of much Of
their old furniture and bought new.
Much Of the old furniture found its
way to secondhand shops and was
sold to poor folk who could not afford
to buy new. This accounts for the
finding today Of much good old furni-
ture in small houses in provincial towns
and among country people.-Indianapo-

Old Engraved Rinqs.

Among the legends of Greece it is
told that the father of Pythagorus, the
famous Greek philosopher, was cele-
brated engraver of gems, and, accord
ing to classical history, both Helen of
Troy and Ulysses Of Greece wore en-
graved rings.
Engraving on stones that were partly
precious was an art at a very remote
age. The British museum proudly
boasts the possession of small square
Of yellow jasper bearing the figure Of
a horse and the name and titles of
Amenophis IL, believed to date back
to about the year 1450 B. G. The very

JUST BlOUSES,
Latest Notes About This
Pet Hobby of All Women.

This Is the season for blouses. They
are needed for a multitude Of reasons.
The one piece frock has not vanished
into the warm summer air because the
separate blouse has come into fashion
again 1t appears to be necessary to
have both even In the average ward
robe There is always a struggle in the
mind of the woman who is not plenti-
fully endowed with clothes money as
to how she should choose between q
suit and one piece frock for constant
service, and probably the married man
put 1t correctly for all women when he
said that his wife brought the subject
up to him semiannually every day for
fortnight, invariably decided In the
end according to her own desires and
was dissatisfied about her choice, no
matter what 1t was, for the rest Of the
season.
One Of the advantages Of blouse buy
ing Is that the average woman can get
half dozen to suit her differen. needs
and moods. This season they are un-
rolled before her like brilliant, never
ending carpet The design and the col
or constantly change. They have reach
ed degree Of variety and gayety that
has not been touched in several sea-
sons.
Fine colOred muslins, solid and strip
ed. are in the forefront of fashion, and
white and colored organdies, which
have been so extensively used for neck
wear, have been cordially taken up by
the makers Of blouses.
The plain white organdie waists are
embroidered with one or more colors,
sometimes in the simple and ever pleas
ing design of scallops, again in polka
dots and triangles of brilliant red and
blue. green, black and yellow.
Because polka dot frocks are in fash
lon we will be able to wear separate
blouses Of polka dot fabrics with the
pleased feeling that we are quite In the
middle Of the picture. Taffeta and sat
In are not looked upon with any de-
gree of warmth, but taffeta is applied
to chiffon and then embroidered In gold
and silver to build up an ornate blouse.
Every one knows by this time that
the smartest Of French blouses drops
over the skirt instead Of going under
It after the manner Of a miniature Rus
sian blouse. Cheruit sent this out In
white organdie, with a sash Of colored
silk, and it has led the way for dos-
en- other conceptions by our own dress
makers.
