P- C- -Atlanta, Cftv Tho right ot' dogs to run :it large in llto country witlnuit being shot, provltletl they are doing no ha tin, is discussed in nit interesting opinion by tho Mississippi Supremo Court in tho ease of (lodges vs. Causey. Causey shot and killed Hodges's dog, a deerhoutid, jis she wits running through corn rows in Causey's field in Suntlower County. l*'or this, Hodges stted Causey. In detense, Causey said that ids place was posted. that he had twlee warned Hodges tti keep his dogs otT his (Causey's! place, and that he sunt tho derhotiud as she was running through tlio corn rows to prevent Iter from damaging growing cotton which was to tho same ilehl. 'I ho Jury doubled in favor of Causey. Tho Supremo ( <?urt, in ordering a now trial, quotod with i pptMv.nl law to tho effect that "one ts never justified in going to excessive lengths in the defense of himself or Ids property from assault or injury"; that "'tlie method of defence must bear i certain relation to the character or teriousness of tlie threatened injury," ilid that "the fact that a dog is tresmissing does not justify his wanton i>r malicious destruction." The court pointed out that the corn through which the dog was running was fully matured (it was in November), and lhat at tho time alio was shot site had i hum nn tl'iniotfo ti* "" -- '? rui It'll. I lit* court wild tlie jury should have boon allowed to say whether, hi view of all the circumstances, the killing was reufouable. Partly Experience. "l>o you believe in mental telepathy?"

Stoutly assert your divine right to be a man, to hold your head \ up and look the world in the face; step q bravely to the front whatever opposes, I and the world will make way for you. ^ No one will Insist upon your rights t, while you yourself doubt that you possess the qualities requisite for success. Never allow yourself to be a ^ traitor to your own cause by undorLj mining your self-contldeuce. J There never was a time before when " persistent, original force was so much I In demand as now. The namby-pamby, nerveless liinn lias little show in tla> hustling world of to-day. In the twentieth century a man must either push or be pushed. Every one admires the man who can assert his rights and has the power to demand and take them if denied him. No one can respect the man who slinks in the rear and apologizes for being in the world. Negative virtues are of 110 use I11 winning one's way. It Is the positive man. the man with original energy and push tftht forges to th? front.?Success. A New York physician in his recent talk 011 physical culture for mothers offers some very good advice concerning useful exercise. It was a question of giving proper direction to surplus energy and of getting the most out of it. To suggest to young mothers thai they should make their own beds and sweep their rooms, and thus fxpaiiu men- cim'sis and increase inetr nrm anil back power, is somewhat of nil innovation in those days of progressive gymnastics and movement cures. Still, the idea has a very practical application. It narrows us down to the consideration of the fact that Nature provides in our every day work, with its attendant possibilities, all the exercise we generally need. When we stop to think how we can combine the two it is often a matter of surprise. The result is generally a two-fold enjoyment. So, too, the man who splits his own wood gets a double warmth from the effort. It is the extra glow witli prolltable occupation that Is thrown into the bargain before the lire is made on the hearth. The principle appeals to every sensible mortal. We gain much more than a car fare by walking to and from our otlices. No man in South Africa has had a hotter opportunity of studying the Boer.? than Sir Alfred Milner, tiie British commissioner in Cape Colony. He resented the charge that they were cowardly scoundrels by paying them the following tribute: "There are many among our enemies who deserve to be honored for their heroism. Although eases of treachery and barbarity have occurred, they have been exceptionally few. The conduct of the enemy is that of brave men fighting for a i.nd cause. Yet they are entitled to respect.
