IN HOTEL LOBBIES
 AND ELSEWHERE

"I have more fun out of my many in- troductions on the platform than anything else" said Governor Bob Taylor, to crowd of admiring friends in the lobby of the Florence hotel, while here the other day. "T remember, when I was down in south Georgia town a few years ago to deliver my little bag of chestnuts,' was met by a young society swell-a handsome fellow. Rushing up to me in most cordial man. ner, he introduced himself, concluding with the remark, "A most pleasant duty MT. ray Tor. I have been delegated to introduce you tonight I have never before delivered an address, but have been hard at work on this one for two weeks, and tell you, it's a daisy I told him how fond I was of daisies, and we drove to the hotel. About the hour for my lecture here came the young fellow In full evening dress, fairly carrying the street with him. We imme- dfatey went to the hall and were seated on the platform and the curtain arose before a vast and brilliant audience. I sur- veyed the crowd for moment, as did the young man. I began to feel uneasy at the delay and glancing at the young man I gave him wink. Still he did not move and observed great beads of precipitation standing out on his forehead. I leaned over and gave him a little hunch on the shoulder. He nervously looked at me and whispered, Bob, it's all gone I can't de- scribe to you my anxious feeling. Finally pulling himself together, he arose and said, Ladies and gentlemen, this Is MT. Taylor That was the most appreciated introductory I have ever had.
 "But the most amucsing introductory have ever received,'' continued the gov ernor, twas by south Alabama orator of some local note. It ran about as this: 'La- dies and gentlemen I have travelled great deal in my life, and during my travels visited the mountains of old Tennessee. There fingered for several days because of the generosity of those people. There is something very peculiar about those moun- tain people. They have immense sugar

 Louis Gelders-"If Germany interferes ip American affairs I think she should be given a sound thrashing and the German citizens of this country will help to do 1t, and do it we'll"
 Louis Brown-"The German-American citi- zens of Birmingham are in accord with the leading German citizens throughout the United States in their allegiance to the stars and stripes.'

AN EDITORS PRAYER.

An exchange over in Nebraska
SAYS an editor went to church re-
Gently, and was called upon to lead
in prayer, when he said:
almighty and kind Father, who
doth from Thy throne look down
on the government of men and de-
linquent subscribers, most humbly
we beseech Thee to draw near unto
them and whisper few things into
their ears that the statues forbid
us to print. Thou knowest our
wants, but the subscriber knUwsst
them not and seldom steps in to IN
quiTe. Let il be known unto them
that there are large patches on the
Homestead Of our Tants, and there
is an aching void in the front part
of our back, and that we hunger
and thirst and he asketh US not to
sup with him. Thou knowest,
Lord, that our print paper and ink
costs money, but the subscriber
knoweth it not, and careth a darn
sight less. Thou knoweth that We
are cold and the subscriber bring.
eth not the wood he promised, and
we are shiverlng and shaking
while he roasteth his shins by the
red-hot stove of his mother in-law.
Tell him all these things, Lord,
and if he then faileth and bringeth
no succor, banlsh him to the lever
regions, TO dwell among the popu-
list calamity howlers, and Thine
shall be the glory and praise
throughout our newspaper career.

A FREAK.

The Phoenix Enterprise says that
Arizona has newspaper that is
either edited by freak or g num-
ber of freaks. 1t Is called the
Arizon(OGn, and it is published at
Stafford. Occasionally a fairly
creditable issue will come out but
this is followed next week by an
apology for its appea rance, urging
in extenuation that the editor was
on the sick list. 1t might be a
little tough for him to be sick all
the time, but the paper would be
greatly improved if such were the
case. Why he jumps on the daily
papers, accuses them of all but
treason because telegram states
negotiations for peace have been
pending. He is evidently one of
the men who believes everything
he sees in a newspaper comes
under the direct scrutiny of the
editor; that the editor makes up
thesmail, holds out papers occas-
ionally, writes the telegraph,
reads proof and delivers the inside
route. An editor may do all this
on a country weekly, but with
dailies, big or little, it is different.

Beet Experiment.

A few samples of the beet plant
ed during the year in the Salt
river valley have been tested by
r. II. Forbes, of the UniversityI
and the results are such as to give
ground for hope that the work
projected by the experiment sta
tion staff and supervised by Prof.
A. J. McClatchie, agriculturalist
of the station, is going to result in
demonstrating that the above
valley is adapted to. the raising of
sugar beets upon commercial
scale. One sample from a plot
planted IN January, and conse-
quently not mature yet, showed a
sugar percentage of l3; another
sample from plot planted in
February, and still less mature,
contained l3 IA per cent of sugar
with a purity of 80 per cont.
Beets of this quality are quite
satisfactory for the manufacture of
sugar. The above results correct
ly indicate the final outcome Of
this years work, the result may
be the opening up of an industry
in the Salt river valley that will
mean much not only to that sec
ton, but the entire territory

REFERRING to the new war ship,
Alabama, recently launched, the
World says:
"On the whole, it seems safe to
reckon the Alabama will as an all.
round fighting ship, outrank all her
predecessors in the American navy.
There are bigger ships in the Brit
ish navy, and some that make a
little faster time than she is reQuir.
ed TO do, and carry more coal.
But they are no. rearly so strong
y armored, and there is reason to
think that the Alabama might be a
match for one of them. In the
other navies of the world there are
no ships that can for a moment be
deemed her superiors. Hail to the
Alabama! She was launched in
silence, but she will make enough
noise herself one of these days to
atone for that. Success to her in
all her voyages"

The Barber-Shop Fly.

From the Pittsburg Chronicle Telegraph
There's pesky little creature.
And lust now it's quite feature
In place where bristling mortals often stop,
Every minute changing lodging,
Every minute wild slaps dodgtng-
It's the fly that loafs around the barber shop.
Yes, there's trouble every minute,
And the fly is strictly In 1t,
When you get so nicely seated for shaNe'
For the insect, gay and frisky,
Will do anything that's risky
Just TO make you vince and twitch and squirm
and rave.
While the BARRIERS busy stropping,
Round your head that fly is hopping,
Next your ear IL gently tickles with Its toes;
But of course you do not like 1t,
And you raise hand to strike 1t,
Then the hy is calmly squatting on your nose.
Just minute, fierce and sCrappy,
. And again yor feel quite happy
TIL il finds that polished bald spot on your head
Then you simply get ferocious,
Fit for anything atT0tlOuS,
And you feel inclined TO raise particular Ned,
Then the barber in a furry,
Tries to make the insect scurry,
But upon your chin he lets the razor drop;
You'll ignore his explanation,
And I'm fiery indignation,
Make vow you'll never again 60 to that shop.
But will go to A. Austins shop, Stafford.

two attacks; in one Of which a
pitched battle was fought in the
streets of the town and dozen
men were slain. At that time
those who made the attack were
made to feel the efficiency of the

from the deadly fire feel an enmity
toward the town that would be
likely to assert itself were the

When Nogales organized her home
