A Flight of Erratic Metaphor. It was iu a police court in India. liTbe client of the bubu lawyer was a Woman accused of assault and battery, end the attorney, attacking the oppos ing lawyer, delivered himself as fol lows: ‘‘My learned friend with mere wind from a teapot thinks to brow beat me from my legs. I only seek to place my iKtue of contention clearly In your honor's eye. My learned friend vainly runs amuck upon the sheet nu chers of my case. My poor client has been deprived of some of her valua ble leather (skin), the leather of her nose. Until the witness explains what became of my client's nose leather he cannot be believed, lie cannot be nl *ewt: 1 o raise a vastly 111 the air by beating upon a bush,” 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.’’— Lond-v* MaU- Life is hard for many people, and we have no right to withhold auy word or touch or act of love which will lighten the load or cheer the heart of ttuy fellow’ straggler.—La Belle Star.
