THE SOLDIERS LOST DINNER

There is a crusted old anectods about the military mind which has amused many generations of students. A wag met a respectable old veteran
 carrying home his dinner from a cookshop He gave the command "'tention' Cto use the abbreviation current in the English army), where upon the old gentleman's arms went down smartly to his side, the tip of the second finger should touch the trousers scamp. and his dinner fell clattering to the ground. The story was invented by a psychologist to n- lustrate the nature of reflex action,
 but it serves even better to reveal
 the automatism of the well-drilled soldier. Whole armies, whole nations
 have lost their dinners in precisely this way. The Kaiser said "'tension" in August, 1914, and the German peo- pie is still looking helplessly for the dinner that dropped from it's obedient { hands. We have had another illus | tration of the working of military automatism in Dr. von Kapp's inglor- ious coup d'etat. It proved two
 things, the mechanical solidarity of 1 German troops when any general says i '" 'tention," and the more rational sol idarity of the German masses to resist them.

SOUTHERN BANKERS WORK

Hundreds of thousands of dollars
have been lent to boys and girls on
their personal notes by southern bank
ers, whose confidence has not been be
trayed il any known instance.

and girl club members Of this state.
This spring the president of this sys-
TEN told the state boys club agent
that out of these loans, Il thousand in
number. there had not been a single
piece of bad paper. Many of the boys
were the sons of men who could not

GRAND OLD MAN
GOES TO REWARD
Col. n. M. Street, Known Throughout
State, Was Historic Character.

Col II. M. Street Of Meridian, aged
SS years, died at his home Monday.
There is hardly man of woman in
all the state who has not heard Of
Col II. NJ Street, and he is aften af-
fectionately referred to as "Mississip-
pis Grand Old Man"
He is survived by his wife, two
daughters, Mrs. Bessie Street Coburn
and Miss Ethel Street and one son T..
II. Street of New York.
The man who passed away in Meri-
dian Monday has done for Mississippi
possibly as much as any man ever
did who lived within its confines. He
was a member of the black and tam
legislature, during reconstruction days,
and was one OF the very few white
An obnoxious piece of legislation was
proposed, offensive and insulting to
the white people of Mississippi, and
the measure was pending in the house.
Col. Street walked forward and said,
"Mr. Speaker, may / see that bill?"
Col. Street took the bill and tearing
it into small shreds, to the surprise Of
the speaker and other radicals" threw
the shreds into the authors face, and
remarked:
That's what | think of that bill"
1t took men of iron nerve and the
bravery of the lion to do such things
in those days, but it killed the bill and
it was never reintroduced.
Col. Street had served as speaker of
the house during three different ses-
sions.
He was president of the Citizens
National Bank, and director of the
M. & o. R. r. at the time of his death,
and had, until the last few years, en-
gagged actively in the insurance bust
ness. He was a gallant Confederate
soldier and officer.
His body was tendcrly laid to rest
in the cemetery at Bonneville, Miss,
the home of his youth, Wednesday
afternoon.

SMITH REMANDED TO JAIL.

Louis Smith, the Moss Point ship
worker who killed his little four-year.
old daughter at that place on May 22
and who has since been confined to
the county Jail here, was tried Thurs
day on lunacy charge. The jury was
unable to agree and recommended
that he be held for action of the
grand jury and circuit court, which
meets in August
Smith, who is either suffering under
a form of religious mania or else is
an inhuman monster, gives perfectly
rational answers to all questions asked
him and aside from his contention
that God appeared to him in dream
and demanded the sacrifice of his
child, seems a man of normal intellect.
He states that since the commission
of the crime he had another dream or
vision in which he was assured that
he had misinterpreted the first dream
and that God did not intend he should
kill his daughter.

BASEBALL MAY 30.

Playing an inconsistent, eccentric
| game of ball before a good sized audi
ence the Marine and Field team de
feated the representatives of the Sam
pie Shoe Store Of Mobile. The score
was to g.
At the very start of the game the
Mobilians threw scare into the locals
for Smith got single and Wagner sac
rificed, then Shaw made good by a
fielders choice, followed by bunch
of errors that resulted in two runs
Amman then tightened up and didn't
allow another hit till the fourth, when
Hammond poled out a two-bagger.
Nevitt was not up to form, playing
as though the ball was too hot to
handle. Buck Smith was robbed of
a bingle, which would have been good
for two bases had not Williams, in
right field made spectacular stab
with one hand up against the fence
Smith of Mobile got three of the
visitors six hits, while McNair an
nexed an equal number for the home
team. The game was loosely played
as is shown by the number of errors
chalked up-siX for Mobile, while the
locals had three to their discredit.
The following week the locals meet
the Chickasaw Shipbuilders at the To-
cal park, while the second Saturday
game will be played here on June 12-
with the famous "Seaplane" team from
Pensacola.
EnllnWinP is the box score.
