A Novel Music Lesson.

A highlander, having to teach a
chum in his regiment to play the bag
pipes, began to instruct him in reading
the music in the following way:
lyon see that chap with white,
round, open face?" pointing to semi
breve between the lines. well, he
moves slowly from that line to this,
while You beat one and take a long
blow. Now, if you put leg on him you
make two of him, and he moves twice
as fast. If yon black his face, he runs
four times us fast as the white faced
one. Then, if you be- d his knees or tie
his legs, he will hop four times faster
than the white faced one.
Now, when you blow the pipes, re-
member that the tighter these chaps
legs are tied the faster they run, and
the quicker they are sure to dance. -

LOVE AT NINE.

And tears about unruly,
My swccthCart's ny8tlilv close to mo
And says sh" loves mo trulyi
What care i now for others smiles
Or frowns, however plcnty3
She lovcs M, though she's only nine,
And AM nine and twenty.
None know my Joy rs sit there,
Her arms around mc twining,
For so called love of selfish minds
No more will bc pining.
One can accept without n doubt
The love that now is mine,
For love can never truer be,
Or purcr, than at nine.
Dear little sweetheart, may 1 ne'er
Betray the love cherish,
May no unwilling act of mine
Cause il TO fade or perish
No compliment ns sweet as this,
Though friendship may be plenty
Where one is truly loved by nine,
And he is nine and twenty.

English Captain In Chinese Service.


In engaging the services of a compe
tent British officer to organize its navy
tho Chinese government. @. Lii Hung
Chang-was obliged to resort to duplic.
lty IN order to effect a semblance of
reconciliation between the naval service
and the mandarin system. After the ex
perience gained i'll mis- first term of serv.
ice i'll China Captain Lang declined to
re-enter it without adequate substantive
rank. Whether this stipulation was
made by the British board Of admiralty
before giving him leave to serve or was
imposed by Captain Lang himself is i'm
material What the vicerOy had to do
was to contrive n form of words which
would satisfy the condition without dis
turbing the Chinese official arrange
ments.
Captain Lang was given the title of
coadmiral with Ting, while all authori-
ty was secretly withheld from him. So
long as Admiral Ting was present Cap
tain Lang did not discover his true po-
sition. His advice was followed; he was
on the most cordial terms with his co
admiral, and there was nothing to show
he was not, de facto, commander in
chief. As soon, however, as an accident
caused the two to be separated the stu
alton was revealed. Lang s order to hoist
tho admiral's flag WAS disobeyed. and
Commodore Liu assumed command of
the fleet. An appeal by telegram to
Vlceroy Ii only brought stronger con-
firmation of the fact that Lang's Chi
nese rank was never intended to be 9TH
or than sham. -Blackwood s Maya

THEY Will, NOT DO IT.

There were numbers of good, honest
democrats in Jefferson county who voted
against Captain Johnston and for Mr..
Clarke because of the fact that they diff
fered from Captain Johnston in his finan-
cial views. These men had and still have
no reason to deal Captain Johnston
blow. The contest, so far as Captain
Johnston, Mr.. Clarke and the financial
question in this state are concerned, is at
an end. Captain Johnston has carried
the state by a large majority. This fact
is conceded by the News and by all the
Clarke supporters Such being the case,
we are certain that there will be numbers
of men in the county convention here to-
day who voted for Mr.. Clarke and who
were elected to the county convention as
Clarke delegates, who, now that they
can see, know and realize that any fur
Their voting against Captain Johnston
would accomplish nothing for Mr.. Clarke
or the sound money" cause, and could
only be a gratuitous thrust at a home
man who has done so much for this coun-
ty, will not do it. We do not believe there
are any considerable number of dele
gates among those elected in this county
for Mr.. Clarke who will today now that
Johnston has the state by an overwhelm-
| ing majority without this Uefferson)
| county, vote against him. 1t is not rea-
! sonable to ask them to thus strike a
| county man whom the party in the state
! has determined by an Overwhelming ma
| jority to make it's standard-bearer Ev-
cry democrat in the county convention
| today in this county who takes an I'M
| biased and conservative view of the sit
uation will vote for Johnston, no matter
| how he felt in the matter so long as
there was any hope in this state for the
success of Mr. Clarke and the views he
| represented. Make it unanimous.

especially in Alabama, having served in

AS to the result of this. visit, Mayor
VanHoose was not able to say anything
as yet though he hoped for favorable re-
suits in the near future,
Previous to going east the mayor and
DIR. j. H. Phillips, superintendent of the
Birmingham schools, had a conversation,
during which the latter urged that May
or VanHoose invite DR.. Curry to come
to Birmingham while on his visit south.
DIR. Curry said it would afford him great
pleasure to come to this city and talk
with the people on educational matters,
and would leave no efforts unused in ar
ranging to do So
DR.. Curry, it Is understood, will go to
Florence some time next month, and it
is hoped that he will arrange matters so
as to include Birmingham in his itin-
erary.
In reference to the constitutional
amendment Mayor VanHoose said DR..
Curry was enthusiastic and showed
much interest in the matter so far as it
pertained to the schools of the state.
DR.. Cufrys words to Mayor VanHoose
| regarding this matter were The condi-
ton of the public schools in the rural
districts of Alabama give me constant

AT the time of the interview between
the reporter and Mayor VanHoose yes

and both expressed themselves as highly
delighted with the prospects of an early
visit from the eminent educator, DR.. j.
