The Purgatory of Choosing

Life hung delicately in the bal ance for David, Wanda and for Cora, in New York, as Wanda drew gently away from David's kiss in moon flooded Valley Tract. Avidly their eyes questioned each other. Could they go back to where they were but brief hour ago and wipe that kiss out of their memories and lives?
 No, they mutely told each oth- CT there was no retreat for them. They must make the fateful choice that must make or mar their lives. Indeed, in the skein which fate had tangled about them, which ever way they cut. life for some or all must be marred Whose was to be the misery?
 For the time Wanda was too numb with weariness to make the strong choice for herself. She would have gladly fled the spot and the crisis if she could. But David held her fast. He clasped ,. her tightly to him.. It was as though he wanted to make sure that. in the chaos into which his soul was thrown, there was some thing to which he could cling. He Esat staring into the pitilessly cold light of the moon. Wanda hid her face in his breast while David fought to reduce the swirl ing chaos into order and decision. -s7' First, he asked himself what manner of a1nan was he? Had he :, any right to choose at all and ;, thus bind any good woman's love x to hiin-he, whose love was so : light, so contemptibly unstable? He lashed himself with the cruel est excoriation. Then, suddenly and to his amazement, his spirit re- belled and turned.
 g 'T do not deserve the brandt" something defiant within him said. -"When I first knew Wanda loved her as sincerely as any man and would have given my life for her. She herself made me give that love up. Then. when years later I met Cora. my love for her, too was as deep as any mans. No man can uO more to prove his love than to bind his life to the woman he loves. This did And now that I have to E choose once and for all I am ready and pay in full whatever my choice will demand. No,. your job is harder than just eNcoriating me. You must choosev
 Then. he was appalled, to find that he could not choose. It wa equally terrible for him to give up either Cora or Wanda. Again he asked himself what manner of man was he? Could man love two women with the same deep need he felt for each of them? His mind reeled under the bur den of the tremendous dilemma the situation had forced upon him.
 Then, under the pressure of his agonized will came an aswer to his question. But not the ease to make a choice which he still had to make "Your two loves embody the still unsettled struggle be- tween tEe unruly and the orderly in you Wanda has always ap- pealed to the adventurer, the gipsy in you Life is gamble with her and she appeals to the gambler in you. If you want your life to have the touch and go of the eipsy choose Wanda. But if you want your life to travel to- ward a goal, to have direction and consistency Cora is your mate. If

SAYS HE IS OWNER
 OF ATLANTIC OCEAN
Singapore Man Has Placed His Claims Officially on Records Planter of Islands

London, October 6.-Who owns the At lantic ocean? There has been some dis
 pute about it, Some people say that the English own it, or act as if they do, while the Germans have certain claims. As a matter of fact, a man named Tan Hong Poh of Singapore has made claim on it which, he says, has been proclaimed by heavenly spirits.
 His claims have been set before the American embassy in London and, pre- ! sumably will ultimately reach the de- partment of state in Washington. Tan Hong Poh makes no secrets of his busi- ness. He informed the embassy of it on postal card, mailciously directed thus: His Excellency the Ambassador for the United States of America, Care Chief Police Officer, London" On the back of the card nicely print ed, under a large-typed Notice" ap- pears the following:
 ''My rights of the oceans, being first claimant thereto in respect of planting islands on mid-north Atlantic and on oth- CT oceans to serve as cities or other wise to the world by my patent or by oth- CT manner have been proclaimed by heavenly spirits throughout the world in be given.

OPPOSE SPECIAL SESSION

Two weeks ago Oscar Johnston, repre- sentative from Coahoma county. and the leader of the anti-Bilbo faction in the legislature. wrote the governor letter depicting the disasters that have over taken the farmers of some sections Of the state on account of boil weevis wind and rains, and suggesting a special ses- sion of the legislature to pass remedial measures his idea being to relieve the unfortunates by excusing them from state taxes one year. The suggestion has met with small favor, 1t being urged that those counties attacked by the boil weevil several years ago weathered the storm without state assistance and that all others should do he same. It has been necessary for these first counties visited by the boil weevil to change their sys- tenn of farming and to get away from the ali-cotton idea. They have succeeded at it. and are now independent, making plenty to eat for man and beast. The counties recently devastated by the wee
 vii were given fair warning as to what the insects would do for them. but they would not heed-hence their distress.

This is an aver age Of six per month, and is considered entirely too great a percentage. The trus- tees have been figuring on doing away with the "trusty' system of guarding conyicts by employing free labor to hold the gun on the men while they are at work. This will cost a good deal more in the way of cash. but when the loss of labor is taken into consideration there cannot be a great difference, and the change may be made

TOMMY" NO sENTIMENTALIsT

Tommy Atkins himself is no senti- mentalist and the British race is not .surposed to make much of a show over things that move and things that hurt. Tommy coming home on leave might see his name on war shrine at the end of his street and he would smile h sheepish and deprecatory grin and say Not bad not 'arf bad" But his women folk at home and his children hre different and the sheer enthusia sm with which they have taken up this business of the establishment of "war Bhrines shows how deeply they feel he war, and how proud they are, how hey eXult that their men shall have heir names emblazoned so that all nay know, and so that there may be record of their endeavor.
 A war shrine has no place in the West End-spacious Mayfair and Bell sravia have no room for such outward nd open display. Here modernity and Civilization find their most cultivated nd refined output; public display of ceiling Is gross, gauche and impossible.

London, November 2-A bishop or
 the Church of England, in his surplice,
 came down the steps of 100-year-o!d
 church, built to commemorate Water
 loo and which marked the center of a
 certain London district. Preceded by a
 choir of singing boys, his passage
 fanked by half a hundred girls in
 school uniform, and with youthful ca
 dets in khaki presenting arms with
 man-sized rifles, he proceeded to the
 yard, set off from the street by an iron fence, in front of the edifice After a brief ceremony, the singing of hymn, the reading of a psalm, the
 bishop approached small wooden structure, newly built. within a yard or so of the fencing and facing upon the street It was. simple bit of car pentry, a narrow boX-like thing set up on a pair of stilts, and covered by a blue cloth. it's back rough wood, it's front painted and vanished. With a certain ceremony, yet so simply that it was scarcely a ceremony the bishop removed the draped cloth. He released a catch. Two panels swung outwards, and the bishop said: . T dedicate this war shrine in grate- ful memory of those who have laid down their lives for King and country in the great war. In the name of the ] Father, Son and Holy Ghost. Amen.p The incident, viewed by a thousand | or two reverentially silent plain folk I of not fashionable part of this great
 city was the unveiling of a war
 shrine" This simple thing from which
 the bishop removed the plain bit of
 blue bunting bore the names of the
 men of that particular parish who had
 gone to the great war, and also of
 those who had died. London is being
 jeweled with these war shrines, which

Jackson, Miss, November 19-(speciaL) There is not enough coal in the bins of some of the big state institutions and manufacturing plants in Jackson to keep up steam for week. Some of them have but two or three days supply and it is possible several schools will have to close. The waterworks plant is one of those concerns hard pressed for coal
 and should it be forced to shut down Jackson would have to haul drinking water from Pearl river, just as it did years ago when cisterns and wells ran dry. The Gulf and Ship Island railroad is about out of coal, and is said to be making arrangements to burn wood in its engines until there is relief from the car shortage. It is now buying coal from the Illinois Central, but that source of supply is said to have it's limits.

The Illinois Central is now running
 brand new train from Chicago and St.
 Louis to New Orleans. known as the Panama Limited" and which is one of
 the handsomest and most costly trains in the world it is claimed. On it's trial trip
 the train stopped two hours in Jackson,
 and was visited by hundreds of men and women all of whom expressed their ad- mration in unmeasured terms, as well as
 their determination to ride on it when
 going north or south hereafter. It car
 ries buffet car, dining car, drawing room

 time between Chicago and New Or
 leans is g hours.
 GOVERNOR OF MICHIGAN
 Governor Woodbridge N Ferris of
 Michigan. who was visitor to Jackson
 a few days since. enjoys the distinction
 of being the democratic governor of rock-ribbed republican state, and is now serving his second term. He was elected the first time by a majority of 5000 while the state went 150.000 for Roose- welt; next time his majority was largely increased, and the republicans have about made up their mind they might as well let him alone. He and his wife had come down to Vicksburg to attend the dedicatory ceremonies at the Michigan monument in the National cemetery, and
 returned home via Jackson just to see the town. They were shown everything of intrest, and went into raptures over the new capitol declaring it one of the prettiest they ever had seen.
 During the term of federal court just adjourned here a large number of Smith ccurty citizens were given fines ranging from $50 to $250 with jail sentences from 1o to 120 days on the charge of defraud- ing mail order houses by giving checks which were no good. Most of the de- fendants were young men, many of whom were of good families, but among
 tho number were three young ladies and one negro.
