A PUSIANIMOUS COWARD.
After all we are due ourselves an
apology. We had been acting on the
principle that there waa not a man in
Jackson that would go so low down in
scale of infamy aa to slip
up like a cat, armed with a stick
large enough to kill an 01 and make
a murderous attempt to assassiiate
another even though he were his en
emy. But of such a vile act was J.
B. W all guilty Saturday afternoon.
While the writer was coming across
town reading a newspa
per 4 Wall stole a pitch fork han
dle from Ham A Carter Cos., and af
ter the manner of a highway robber
and a midnight assasin sneakingly
slipped up from behind, and making
the remark ‘‘Now G-d i) —n you I
recon you wont call me a coward jna
more," atruck a murderous blow a
cross the head of the writer before he
had time to even dodge.
We had written in the abstract
last week to the effect that:
‘’The mostcontempt&bleand pusil
animous coward that we can think of
is the man whogoe9 around in a peac
able community with adeadiy weap
on like a pistol stuck in his pocket.
The culmination of cowardice is
focused and condensed in the offence
of carrying concealed weapons.”
This week we write in the concrete
that, the most contemptable and pu
sillanimous coward that we have ever
heard of is J. B. Wall who goes around
in a peacable community with a pis
tol stuck In his pocket and knocking
people in the head from behind with
an iron bound stick.
The culmination and condensation
of cowardice is focussed and condens
ed in this contemptible puppy.
He has furnished the evidence and
the people have sat in judgement
and their verdict is ‘’COWARD."
However, nothing else could be ex
pected since a fig tree does not grow
grapes, neither does a dog pro
duce lion’s \vhci{ s.
The time has come when the res
pectable members of the City Coun
cil must either demand the resigna
ton of the Mayor, or, in case he re
fuses resign themselves for no person
c m be assocated either socially or
politically with an assassin without
disgrace deep and degrading.
METHODS USED.
The people are wondering if the
city government is proud of the vic
tory gained at the polls Saturday.
One voter was denied his franchise
because his wife was out of town, and
so sick that she could not return,
while it was argued to another that
because he was poor he ought to do
as he was told, and in the dim future
when he had accumulated property
he could do as he pleased. All this
may appear to be something to be
proud of, but the thinking people
will soouer or later condemn it.
' Ways of tho Waves.
Waves are deceptive things. To
look at them one would gather the im
pression that the whole water truveled.
This, however, is not 60. The water
stays in the same place, but the mo
tion goes on. In great storms waves
are sometimes forty feet high and
tbelr crests travel fifty miles an hour.
The base of a wave (tho distance from
valley to valley) is usually considered
ns living fifteen times the height of the
wave. Therefore a wave twenty-five
feet high would have a base extending
375 feet
A Jubilss.
Some years ago, before Queen Vic
toria’s death and about the time <hat
the queeu's Jubilee was to tie celebrat
ed, the following conversation between
two old Scotchwomen was overheard
on a street corner in London:
“Can ye tell me. wummau, what is
it they call a Jubilee?*’
“Well, it's this." said her neighbor:
"When folk has been married twenty
five years, that's a silver wuddin’, aud
when they have been married fifty
years that's a golden wuddin’, but if
the men's dead, then it’s a jubilee.’’—

A Lessen In Shopping.
Managers and clerks in large depart
ment stores of necessity have to deal
with all kinds and classes of people,
aud they often have most amusing
experiences, ow ing to the peculiarities
of their customers, says the Philadel
phia Record. While waiting for an ex
change at the silk counter in a Market
street establishment yesterday a clerk
told a West Philadelphia shopper a
story which she has since been circu
lating among her circle of friends.
"An uptown customer,” the clerk said,
"last week had six yards of a most ex
pensive silk sent C. O. D. The next
and y the package was returned to us, j
and upon it was written: ‘Returned. 1
was only teaching my daughter how.’ to
shop.’ ”

Teaching the Parrot-
Owners of these interesting birds
must remember that if they wish them
to talk well the best time to teach
them is in the evening with the cage
covered over and placed In a dark room
and the teacher enunciating the words
slowly and distinctly and persistently.
The natives of India consider that a
slight operation upou the bird’s tongue
Is necessary before it will speak easily.
