LEAPS FROM GAR;

A leap from running auto and q landing on another coming from the oposte direction was the cause of broken leg and an ugly flesh wound night.
 The grandson of Mr. and Mrs. C. Fuller. lad whose last name is Sharp, aged about twelve years. was riding to the Fuller home Sunday night in the Leonard Lewis car The two Lewis boys told the lad jestingly that they were not going to stop. but would take him on past the Fuller home to their own. Believing that they were in earnest. the boy climbed out on the running board and as they called out to him to stay on that they would stop, he sprang out. It happened that Dr. J. B. Nelson was coming from the Cposite direction and had turned to the right to pass the Lewis car, at the same time slowing down his auto to make the passing.
 The boy jumped and landed on the Nelson car lodging between the fen der and the hood. Dr. Nelson stopped at once and lifted him off Examina- tion showed a very ugly gash in the leg and broken bone in the same member. The doctor at once sewed up the wound and set the bone. and the little fellow is doing as well as could be expected. No blame attaches to any one except the unfortunate boy The Lewis brothers had no idea he was in earnest about jumping and were slowing down as they told him not to jump. and Dr. Nelson had the head

OUR PRISON LIBRARY
The Value and Variety of Good Books That may be Sc
lected From Prison Library Shelves
Contributed by Miss NJ E. c., Supervisor of
Institution Libraries }


A library is permanent institution wherever
one is established. Years may and 60, libra
rians may change, boards alter and localities
may shift, but the books remain tell the tale The
history of locality may be traced in the character
of the library. In of the old Mississippi towns
of this state there is library which shows this very
clearly. The books at time were selected with
out regard 10 cost The best was chosen and there
was evidently liberal spirit abroad with reference
to the latter. Later all this changed and for
time expensive books purchased, and finally
only the ephemeral stuff that makes up the best
Sellers" and not much of that
Now in old Mississippi town there was usu-
ally one period of flush times when people expand
ed and full of confidence in the future of their
city, and wanted to lay foundations that were deem
and broad. Nothing was too good for them Then
times changed: the river no longer alive with
traffic, the mills and other enterprises slowed down,
and people no longer spent their money with an eve
to future greatness. And all these changes were
reflected in the library,
Our prison library has seen some flush DAYS.
There was time when fine editions of the best
books were purchased for its shelves Among these
are the volumes of Motey's Rise of the Dutch Re-
public. listed page 113 of the library catalogue
Collectors of books are fond of owning first edi-
tions,' and may be proud that we have if not

work. One for doing it is that it is the &C.

Worry is the root of all the cowardly passions En-
Wy, spite, revenge Impotence, arrogance, selfshness
prejudice and the like all phases of anger Jeal-
ousy, fear, the bettling of SELF the blues, and all
the retrospective forms of depression are the chill
dren of worry. Anger and worry are the most un-
profitable conditions known to man. While they
are in possession of the mind both mental and ply
steal growth are suspended. Anger and worry are
two thieves that steal precious time and energy from
life. Anger is highway robber and worry is
sneak thief.
Anger and worry the most potent forms of

O Cover My Defenseless Head

A soldier stood on guard one night
With his head bent low in tears.
His vision was of those he loved.
Whom he had not seen for years.
Virginia's oaks doomed high above
Ger the silent path he trod.
And ere the morrow's battle roar
Thus he prayed in song to God.
% cover my defenseless head
With the shadow of Thy wing"
A hymn of dear departed days
Which at home he used to sing.
The moon smiled forth from aeecy clouds
AS she heard those low notes ring:
20 cover my defenseless head
With the shadow of Thy wing"
Deep hidden in the tangled wood
Stood soldier clad in gray,
His gun was lifted to his arm
When he heard the ''bluecoat" pray.
lie listened till he caught the words.
Then his heart beat quick and fast.
He. too, had sung this same old hymn
In the halcyon days now past.
The clouds swept by, the stars shone out
As the 'graycoat" dropped his gun,
And both men stood in silence there
Till the rising of the sun,
The angels must have joined the song
AS God covered with his wing
The man who stood on guard that night
And the man who heard him sing-Sel.
