cember. There were number of the brightest boys in the district competing,
 but Hobson defeated them all, and received
 the appointment from Representative Un- derwood.
 He passed his entrance examinations into the academy and left his home in Alabama for West Point, soon after his brother had made his famous dash into the entrance of Santiago harbor on board the Merrimac. On his way up, he had occasion to stop in Washington for day or two and being
 the brother of such a famous man, it was natural that his influential friends and rela- ties should take him to call on the presi- dent. MT. Mckinley received him gracious ", and made him nice little speech, hop
 ing that he would emulate the example of
 his famous brother, wishing him all suc- cess in his military career, etc. The news papers got on to the affair, and naturally made a big account of how Hobsons
 brother had called on the president, giving
 the latters speech in full.
 Young Hobson had scarcely entered the nations military training school before his hazing began. It is said that almost the
 hrst day, a delegation of upper cassmen called on this young "pebe'' who bore such distinguished name, and on learning that ne was really the brother of the hero, they said that he must of necessity have the
 swell head" and that Ii must be reduced From that time on his life became a will defness. He was made to learn the speech Whch the president of the republic had made to him, and he had to stand on table and recite it many times day. When the novelty of the recitation had
 worn off, some ingenious upper classman set the speech to music, and after that Hob- son had to sing it.
 Some time later. the newly-made cadet
 had occasion to visit New York, where he
 was immediately bounced upon by the re- porters of the big papers. Hobson had not undergone his short experience at West Point for naught, and he kept his mouth shut telling the reporters that he had nothing at all to say. That made no differ - ence with the representative of the World and he wrote about three columns, it is said, of what Hobson should and probably would have told him if he had talked at all.
 When Hobson returned to the academy he learned anew all the evils which come to cadet from newspaper notoriety He was compelled to learn the whole story. from beginning to end by heart. It was too long for the genius who had set the presi- dents speech to music and the old men had to content themselves with listening to the two or three columns of newspaper stuff in the form of an oration by the young soldier who was purpcrted to be it's author
 It is now safe to say that Hobson would not speak to MT. Mckinley now if he met him on the street, and as for reporters he would walk a mile out of his way to keep from meeting one of them

His Female Footgear

THERE was a promi- nent young society man recently visiting in Bir- mingham, who attracted a great deal of attention on account of his foot gear. This gentleman, who by the way is living in Atlanta temporarily, is very popular in Birming- ham, and at one time lived in this city.
 He is noted among other characteristics for his small and handsome feet. They are the envy, not only of all of Birming- hams clubmen, but of many young ladies as well, so small and we'll formed are they. He had occasion to buy a pair of
