Jno. r. Tally Has Ne,U Plan
For COnquering Mexicans

When the people of Mississippi read
few days ago that Joe Lochowitz,
the brilliant correspondent from Eagle
Lake, whose unusual Imagination has
furnished more laughs TO newspaper
readers than any other feature of Mis-
sippi papers. had died, they wondered
if there would ever rise up another to
take his place.
Little did they imagine tnat John r.
Tally, prominent Hattiesburg attorney
and political leader, would be the most
promising aspirant for LochOwitzs
position in Southern journalism, yet
it appears that Mr.. Tally is setting
about TO prove that he can cOncoct
Just as many original ideas as Joe
Lochowtz or anybody else ever could
Mr.. Tally today made public a new
plan for completely subjugating the
Mexican republic. He claims that
this plan is more thorough, less ex-
pensive. more humane and more sat

warfare could ever be.

WHY HUSBANDS RUN AWAY
Statistician Of Public Welfare Bureau.
After Inquiry, Determines Main
Causes Of Decertion.

Why do so many husbands run
away?
A statistician connected with the
bureau of public welfare has been
trying to answer the question.
After investigating thousands OF
cases of desertion, he finds that the
husbands action can usually be as
cribed to one of the following causes
Ill-health and peevishn of the
wife
Slouchiness of the wife either in
her own person or in her housekeep
ing methods, or both.
The wifes habit of nagging or gos'
siping.
Dislike for children on the wife's
part.
This statistician found that the
strongest incentive to reconciliation In
cases of family discord is almost in
variably the child. He also found
that very few wives are deserted who
are:
Physically big and mentally cheer
full.
Able to contribute to the family
income either by outside labor or by
frugality in home management.
Affectionate and home-loving.
Sympathetic and considerate OF
their husbands.
The very interesting and valuable
statistics which he collected prove
that native American husbands are
more prone to desert their wives than
are the foreign born.
They also show that married life
is the happiest when husband and
wife are nearest alike in age, nation
atty, religion, moral standards, tenn
permanent, health and physical
strength.

SHAFFROTH BOOSTS SUFFRAGE

If the women Of America ever
have an opportunity to vote for Sena-
tor Shafforth Of Colorado, his Oppon-
ert is likely to be showed under, for
he has made himself mighty popular
with the equal suffragists. Urging the
adoption Of the Susan B. Anthony
amendment in the senate recently, he
delivered some hard blows at the tyr
amy Of the male sex.
In the formation Of the republic,
he declared, new principles of govern
ment were put forth, one Of which was
that all men we're created equal in
rights and that man was entitled to
life, liberty and the pursuit Of happi-
ness as inalienable rights.
"While men of our republic &C

as applicable to women. They cling

der. Then Olive started and thought
fast and furious. Gordon Lee h&d
been Induced to invest a dime.
Ho noted how small, soft and dainty
was the band. that there were TWO
dainty dimples and a delightful little
mole just at the side Of the white,
shapely fcrefnger. He knew not why
he noted this, but he did. He looked
bored-indeed, half i'll. With an ex'
preston of ennui on his face, he ex-
tended his hand.
"You have suffered" spoke the Sill
very voice from behind the screen, as
the delicate fingers rested across the
wrist Of the patient, "but needlessly.
Your pulse indicates strength, long
life, but you have a defect
Indeed, yes-you see, my Shout
der" began Lee, but the fair doc
tress interrupted him.
1T is the pain IN your left heel

Olive, bold suggestion coming to
her mind
"My heel-oh, surely, you are mis-
taken" again began Lee, and again
he was interrupted.
"The pain once settled there, the
distributal influence of the blood cur
rents may convey the toxic elements
to the lungs, the heart, the brain.
You must walk, you must eat and
sleep regularly, you must exercise and
occupy your mind pleasantly. In time
you may eradicate the little colony OF
parasites that thrive in your heel
Next PATIENT"
Now, all this sounded very fool
ish to Olive when she came to th!nH
and the latter thought it was a gooo
joke. AS to Lee, strange thing hap
pened. All of sudden the shoulder
pain was transferred to the heel, such
is the power of imagination! He be-
gan to cuddle fancied trouble at this
new center of disease just as he had
adopted and cherished the old one in
the shoulder.
At the end of two months he had
forgotten all about the shoulder. A
doctor to whom he had sheepishly
gone with his new affection laughed
at him.
'Nonsene with your heel trouble!"
he derided. you're az sound as
dollar from tip to toe. Someone has
hoaxed you into banishing your i'm
aginary shoulder disease and got your
attention transferred to your heel.
Brace up-you're cured!'
And he was, and began to realize it.
And then the story Of the fair Chi
nese medicine maiden came to his
ears. He was passing the Willough'
by home one day, and lifted his hat
to Verda and girl companion in the
family automobile. The latter was
Olive Borden. She put out her hand
to close the door. Two dimples and a
dainty mole near the forefinger! Cor,

lady who had started him on the road
to health.
"And you laughed at him when he

months later, the day after the party
which they and Lee had attended.

Olive Borden said no more, but she
continued to feel sorry for Gordon
Lee. He was good looking, perfect
gentleman, and he seemed so Wretched
and lonesome that she sympathlzed
with him genuinely.
Olive had an uncle, who was living
to a GOOD old age, who had wasted the
best years of his life, just as Lee was
doing. Olive was familiar with the
past vagaries of this relative. she
did not smile at such idosyncrasles
She pitied their victims, who mental
~ suffered.
A bazaar was given for the sake OF
charity in the little village that same
week. OF course Olive was impressed
into service. She was quick, witty,
original, and Verda allowed her to
choose. her own role.

that in that country the doctors are
