"AGIN" GOODWIN.
The Republicans of the Fifth District Decline
TO lndor8e Him and VIII Put Out
Candidate

DR.. r. A. Moseley returned last night
from the republican congressional con-
vention of the Fifth district, held in We
tumpka yesterday.
DR.. Moseley reports that the conven-
ton made no nomination, but appointed
a committee Of nine which will meet in
Montgomery next Wednesday to agree
upon candidate.
Mr.. Goodwin he says, was nominated
by the populist convention held in Alex
ander City Tuesday and was in attend7
ance upon the republican convention
seeking an Endorsement.
The republican convention refused pos
jtiyely to indorse Mr.. GOODWIN and the
committee was appointed to make the
nomination in order to prevent any ma
nipulation resulting in the Endorsement
of Goodwin.
We are going to have a straight re-
publican candidate for congress in the
Fifth district" remarked DR.. Moseley,
"and you can state that in your paper
authoritatively."

A Substitute,

Martha is four years old and has just
begun her religious education in the in
FAINT class of an up town Sunday school.
1t is a custom of the teacher Of this partic-
ular infant class to give each of her small
pupils a card containing short text which
the child is expected to nemorize during
the week. In passing them out she charg-
ed each of the children to be sure to keep
them carefully and return them the next
Sunday, that they might be passed on to
others.
Martha is not a very careful little girl,
and though fully impressed with the duty
of returning the card she neglected to put
it in place of safety, and even before she
had reached home she discovered that she
had lost 1t. The thought worried her con-
siderably at first, until bright idea came
into her head. and, strange to relate, it
staid there all the week. She said nothing
to her mother about the lost card, and the
next Sunday went off to Sunday school
happy as usual The lost card was not
troubling her innocent little conscience.
Tho infant class assembled and the teacher
called on the children to return their cards.
When 1t came Martha turn, she arose and

the infant class stared in mute astonish-
ment, while several unrogenerate adults in
different parts of the classroom bit their
lips to keep from laughing.

The Biggest Fool at Large

Is the individual who persistently neglects
his health, and the means of preserving
and restoring 1t. Many persons who are
not constitutional>idio do this. They
are genuine objects Of compassion as
we'll as censure. A failure of appetite,
loss of sleep and flesh, impaired diges-
ton, an uncertain state of the bowels and
symptoms of biliousness are SO many
warnings of the approach of disease. To
disregard them Is AFFECT folly, which Of
Tended nature in due time Furnishes Sc

adequate. Among these are chronic in

"The Lovers Leap" with legend relat

distinctly modern place, with all tie latest
improvements in sanitary plumbing, etc.

SO weird and romantic that it fully COM

it from the lips of the venerable chief, Sas

Long, long before the foot of the white
landgrabber had gobbled up the fair do

and his love was returned. A noble hunt

of the nimble grasshoppers rs he; no one
equaled him in the skill and audacity with
which he tracked and slew the willy and

the charms of Prairlescavener would re-
quire all the blindness OF love and the pen
of a political editor; suffice it here to say
that she was just as good as she was beau
tiful.
So their love grew until Eatanything-

scavener was-like a summer without
neutrality-suspicious. and profltless rose
and went to her father and said: "I'll give
you ten ponies for Prairiescavener. For
Eatanythingsoftnuff was cunning and
concealed the love that filled his heart,
lest the old man should demand more
than his stack.
Then the old chief folded his arms
across his battle Scared bosom, as though
hugging himself, and answered, To the
young and strong belong the fierce delights
Of war. l am old and long for repose.

have her for nothing, and I'll throw in my

And, not noticing the ferocious twinkle

A Question of Feeling.


A mother noticed remarkable change
in the department Of her 6-year-old son.
From being rough, noisy and disoourteous
he had suddenly become ono of the gentlest
and most considerate little fellows in the
world. He was attending the kindergar-
ten, and his mother naturally inferred
that the change was somehow due to his
teachers instruction.
"Miss Smith teaches You to be politep"
she remarked In tone of Interrogation.
'sNo," said the boy; "she never says a
word about 1t"
The mother was puzzled, and all the
more when further questioning brought
only more emphatic denials that the
teacher had ever given her pupils lessons
in good breeding.
"well, them" the mother asked finally,
"if Miss Smith doesn' say anything, what
does she do9"
"She doesn't do anything persisted
the boy. "She just walks around, and
we feel polite. We seel just as polite as
as anything"
That was all he could tell about 1t, and
his mother began to SEQ through the mys-
