Brewer** Alleged Threat Cause* Sen
aatIon—Thompson Out of Race—Al
llnon-Cooper Wedding
Jackson, Miss., July 16.—(Special.)
Governor Brewer's alleged threat to cut
Bee Russell’s throat from ear to ear at
Wesson last night has given Jackson a
savory morsel to roll around under its
tongue.
The story here is to the effect that
during Mr. Russell’s speech he became
very personal in liis refrences to the
governor and had started in to repeat
a charge to the effect that Governor
Brewer has stolen a bill or other record
during the last session of the legisla
ture, when the governor stepped out on
the speaker’s stand and told Russell
loud enough to be heard by those in
front: “There are some things I will
not stand for, Mr. Russell, and the peo
ple of Mississippi do not expect me lo
stand for them, even though I am their
governor. The one thing I won’t stand
for is an accusation of stealing, and I,
want to warn you privately that if you:
accuse me of theft 1*11 cut your throat i
from ear to ear.” ]
It Is stated that Mr. Russell, who is
a candidate for lieutenant governor,
continued his speech, explaining that
the governor -had threatened to cut hie
throat, hut never made the charge he
vas defied to make, and there was no
physical encounter.
Duncan B. Thompson, state auditor,
has determined that he will not enter
the race for secretary of state, and has
so assured Secretary of State Power.
There has been a persistent rumor for
sometime that Mr. Thompson would be
a candidate for this important posi
tion, and he admits that he had the
proposition under consideration for
sometime, but has finally decided to
stay out of it.
Wiley Sutton Allison, a prominent
young business man of Fort Worth,
Tex., and Miss Florence Cooper, a
charming young lady of this city, were
married at the home of the bride last
night, the ceremony being performed by
the Rev. Wayne Sutton of Rankin coun
ty. Mr. and Mrs. Alllston left immedi
ately for San Francisco and other west
ern points of interest.

“Give Me the Fresh Laddie Instead of the
Timid Lover/’ Says Miss 1915 Summer Girl
i
By DOLLY DALRYMPLB
44f^\ you were a poet instead of a
I lady philosopher and humorist, I
**■ certainly would ask you to write a
story about the timid lover," said Miss
191£ Summer Girl to me the other day.
"Certain matters In life are taken for
granted," I observed casually. "We all
know that doves coo and lions roar and
husbands growl and wives whine, and we
fancy that strong men woo."
"But they don't, at least not all of them,"
interrupted Miss 1915 Summer Girl. "Some
of the strongest men can’t woo any more
than they can find the chili sauce In
the ice box or trim a lady’s hat. When
such unattractive beasties try to make
love they sneeze and snlvle and choke and
drop their h^ts and stub their toes and
act entirely, completely, wholly and sue- j
cessfully as utter nincompoops."
"Have you met such an one recently?"
1 ventured to Inquire. ,
"Yes, dearie." said Miss 1915 Summer
Girl. "And believe me,- I'll take the fresh
laddie every time. You may have to
sit on him occasionally, but you don’t
have to carry him about with you as if
he were a papoose or a heavy burden, or
tend him or pet him or call him precious
lafnb or wipe away his sad, sad tears."
"How beautiful It Is to possess a capac
ity for sentiment." I observed gently.
"You are punctuating this conversation
| with tender sighs and the gentle slush,
slush of little blue waves of infant
zephyrs in the trees," she observed, "but
be that as It may, the timid lover I’m
about to tell you about came to visit us
rect ntly at our country home. 1 think
he'd fallen In love with my hat, and not
with me, from the way he behaved. To be
gin with, if my own dear Pater Famillas
can possibly do anything to discourage one
o/ my lovers he doesn’t fall to do it
strong, and then he repeats It if it doesn’t
tak^ the first time. However, he was fair
ly amiable with our h^use guest on this
occasion, mainly because I took him for
a stroll every evening by the lake right
after dinner, and didn't give father a
chance, and of course he was In town at
his office during the day, and the timid
lover was safe from his growl and bite.
I On the bright particular night I am going
to tell you about the air was like chif
fon and tulle and the sky, starred-dotted,
was like a fleecy swansdown. scarf and
! thoughts of music and poetry and danclrtg
and flowers gurgled up within your heart
and trickled over and flooded the universe
with love and loveliness! In my ecstacy
I must have atcldentally touched the timid
lover's hand, and what do you suppose
he did? He drew It away like he had been

shot! I knew then and there that he
was the kind that if a girl put her lips
to his to be kissed he’d think there was
a sooty spot on her nose and wipe it
away.”
That, interested me, so I asked Miss 1915
Summer Girl to go on.
T chatted lightly and gaily,” she said,
“not in the least discouraged and I showed
off all my cunning little parlor tricks and
ways, and finally I sort of got him.
Presently he turned to me and said: ’Do
> ou know you are an awfully nice girl,
but I’m so unlucky.’ I didn't say any
thing for I'm pretty clever about being
silent at the right time. Most of the time
it's because I don’t know what to say.
He sighed Tike a furnace drawing
through’ a new chimney and then he got
out his handkerchief and blew' his nose
right hard—the horrid creature! ‘It’s the
destiny of some men not to be loved,' he
went on. ’Mercy Percy, it was tragic
the way he said it. I nearly wept. ‘Cheer
up,’ I observed quickly, 'you haven’t
found the right girl yet.' Clever hut a bit
obvious, but I thought to myself there's
no use sticking some folks with a pin;
they rouse up better when you use an ax."
By this time I was greatly excited and
insisted upon the. end of the story.
“Are you really interested?” asked Miss

Method of Extracting Perfumes
“I am sending a reply to Mrs J. L. for
extracting perfumes. This U a reliable
method, used In cases where the odor
would be destroyed by heat necessary to
operate a still. This is known among
chemists as the eufleurage method. Pour
a thin layer of melted lard upon a large,
shallow platter, and when it is cold throw
upon It the blossoms or fragrant parts.
The lard extracts the fragrant oil from,
the blossoms. Allow the blossoulB to be
in contact with the lard for several days,
then remove and put on another layer;
repeat several times. Now pour over the
surfs,o* some strong deodorised, alcohofc
known commercially as ‘cologne spirits.’
This will dissolve the fragrant flower oil,
tut not the lard. Use only a small quan
tity to have the perfume as concentrated
as possible. The lard may be used over
and over again, but not after it becomes
rancid. If thisr formula Is of any use or if
there is anything you wish to know' fur
ther I may be able to help you.

With shame and confusion of face I con

no use for me to try,’ the timid lover said
presently, 'because nobody will ever carai

he said.”
“It would make a peach of a line for a
popular song,” I suggested naively.
“Yes, I thought so, too,” said Miss 1915
Summer Girl, “but as poetry is not my
specialty, I said nothing. I couldn't very f
