Old Mother Nature.
Now" said Old Mother Nature, I'VE
come to the handsomest member of
the entire rat family. and he is truly
handsome. He is Longfoot the Kan
garoo Rat. so called because Of his
long hind legs and feet. long tail, and
the way he sits up and jumps Strictly
speaking he is not a member of the
rat branch of the family, but of the
mouse branch. being closely related to
the Pocket Mice. of which I will tell
you later. You see. he has pockets in
his cheeks"
Like mine?" asked Striped Chip
munk quickly. Striped Chipmunk is
as interested in pockets as Peter Rab-
bit is in tails.

instead of the inside of his cheeks"

nodding his head in a very decided
way.

very satisfactory" returned Old
Mother Nature. He can fill them so
fast you cannot see his paws move He

SO gentle he never tries to bite when
caught and taken in mans hand"
You haven't told us how big he is
| or what he looks like" protested i'm
patient Peter Rabbit.
He is about the size of Striped
Chipmunk. That is. his body is about
the size Of Striped Chipm unk's, but
his tail is longer than his head and
body together" replied Old Mother

well, Longfoot is built on the same
plan and for the same purpose" con-

That is sufficient bolstering. is it

the charming frou-frous that are

noticed how much more finery little
girls are wearing. 1t is really only a

And really these picturesque little
frocks that tempt us are not elaborate
or ornate after all. Here in today's

binding of lavender organdie and

FILE DEMURRER IN
$5,0OO,0OO R. R. SUIT

JACKSON. Miss, July 81. (SpL)--
Demurrer was filed by the defense in
the Kinds county chancery court today
in the $5i00O,00O suit of the State of
Mississippi vs. Gulf & Ship Island Rail-
road company.
The demurrer was not taken up for
argument, owing to the absence OF At
torney General Robertson, but will be
set for hearing by Chancellor Stricken
within the coming week.
The suit was filed by the state to
enforce specific performance of the
charter granted to the Gulf & Ship
Island road by the Mississippi legis-
lature, providing that the road be
built from the gulf coast to Brandon.
thence to Pontotoc, and thence to the
Tennessee line. Instead the road was
built from the gulf coast to jackson.
The main contention set up in the
demurrer is that the state can only
revoke the charter, and this must be
done by legislative action, since 1t was
granted by that body; that the state
has no right whatever to claim dam
ages. The railroad company is repre-
scented by Messrs. Wells, May G. San
derS, of this city.
