It's up to the women, they tell US,
To cut down. the high price of
shoes r.
BY letting their skirts out little.
Now, then, if the women refuse,
Retailers of leather won't help US,
That fact is quite plain goodness
knows.
With short skirts, the long shoes are
needed,
To cover up nice siIken hose.
P. S.-As far as we are concerned
they can let the skirts and the shoes
both be short. We promise not to

THE MAN WHO DIED TWICE.
Mystery of Jean, the Hairdresser or
 Marie AntoInette.

Mystery of Jean. the Hairdresser of Marie AntoInette.
 There are many puzzling features Of
 French history. but perhaps the most
 puzzling of all, though it has to do
 with a comparatively minor parsonage,
 is that surrounding the mystery of the 1 hairdresser of Marie AntOinette lt IS
 not a common occurrence for person to die twice. a circumstance which has occurred in the case of this hairdresser,
 who was known as Jean Antie. alias

Rnaten to a Eummy.

Until pretty late in the eighteenth century mummies entered into a great variety of drugs. balms and other medicaments. As the genuine mummy was then expensive, recipes were giV' en by many ancient writers for con- verting human flesh Into mummy. Usually only certain portions of the body were used. and these were beat en, dried, macerated and splced out of all likeness to their natural condition; hence beaten to a mummy" Numer' ous allusions are made to the prac' tice in ancient literature. and in an old play, Bird In a Cage" are the directions, Make mummy of my flesh and sell me to the apothecaries."

PINEY WOODS COUNTRY
LIFE SCHOOL.

Five years ago Laurence G..
Jones, graduate of the Univer-
sity of Iowa, landed at Braxton,
Miss, with a determination to
assist his race in mastering the
proposition of becoming better
and more useful citizens.
He unfolded his plans to the
white people of that section as
we'll as to members of his own
race. But little did they think
at that time that a young Booker
Washington had arrived in their
midst, and that an institution
would result from his coming
that would prove helpful to both
roces. However, such was the
case. Jones was penniless. but
he was imbued 18th a desire to
help humanity, and had the
right conception of properly
solving the negro problem. The
white people of that community,
being convinced that he was on
the right road, gave hip their
cordial support and material as
sistance.
From that beginning five years
ago in the bleak and barren
hills of southern Rankin, he has
built up the institution until to-
day it's property value is esti-
mated at over $50, 600.
| The school closed it's fifth ses-
sion last Thursday, and being
anxious to ascertain just what
was being done, the editor of
this paper, accompanied by Maj.
Henry, ]. A. Lindsey and H. H.
Bullock, drove down and made a
thorough inspection of every de-
partment, and from our obser-
walton we are convinced that the
cordial cooperation that he is
receiving from both races is well
merited.
The girls are taught sewing,
cooking, weaving, shoe repair
ing, broom making. crocheting,
poultry raising, gardening, etc..
while the boys are being versed
| in agriculture, blacksmithing,
carpenter work, etc.
w. P. Mangum, president of
Braxton Bank, is treasurer Of the
institution, and is very enthusi-
astic over the good work that is
being done; also many other
prominent men with whom we
talked.
