KEELING WAS HUNGRY

From the London Mainly About People. Here is an amusing story which is told of Kipling by MT. Cecil Rhodes: After the siege of Kimberley they were both staying at a beautiful little Dutch farm, the home of one of MT. Rhodes managers. One morning early the flag was hauled down from the flagstaff probably by some rebels, and the manager was afraid lest Rhodes keen eye should notice it, that he hurriedly begged the privilege of showing him around the fruit farms before break fast MT. Kipling, who was in a dreamy mood, stayed behind. But dreaminess presently gave place to hunger time went cn, the flag was hoisted and MT. Rhodes did not appear. On their way home MT. Rhodes and the manager were surprised to come across. on every tree they passed, big placards bearing in bold, black letters such sentences as Famine; We are Starving; Feed Us." and this sort of thing went on until they got to the front door, where they found written in still more startling type:
 For the Human Race.
 Breakfast
 Purifes the Mind-Invigorates the System. It has Sustained Thousands; It Will Sus- tain You.
 See that You Get It.
 And inside, too on every available wall and door there were placards getting stronger until they came to, Why Die When Little Breakfast Prolongs Life?" Tt is Late" Tt is Still Later" Until at last they came to the little room where Kipling sat waiting for his breakfast, in- nocent but hungry It was, of courss, the characteristic work of the author Of 'Stalky & O."

Texas School Fund.

The Alabama school fund which hovers in the neighborhood of a per capita allow ance of one dollar, is credit to the State, and is full of promise; but is very much overshadowed by this years appropriations for public schools in Texas. In that great State the years appropriations for that purpose foot up $3,527,45o, or a per capita scholastic apportionment ranging from $i.25 to $475
 Of this splendid sum donated to public education $52OOOO comes from poll taxes, and s1sS3, 600 from property taxation, leav- ing 1,5l9, 450 to come from the endowment fund supplied by the school lands of the State. The total is a magnificent tribute to noble State It means that illiteracy will soon be reduced to a minimum, and that all of the State resources will be matched by the capacity of the State s own children to handle them.

 Wu Ting Fang and his secretaries and the other members of his household were much perturbed. Wu sought Secretary Hay and showed him the letter. Secretary Hay laughed Why" he said, linen in public life get that kind of letter very frequent 1y and never pay any attention to it.'
 The minister went back to the legation satisfied. Meanwhile Secretary Hay had a conference with Major Frank Sylvester, the superintendent of the District police.
 "There isn't one chance in a thousand that anybody will attempt to attack the Chinese minister or the legation" said Secretary Hay, "but we must guard against the thousandth chance. Put some police men on guard at the legation'
 Major Sylvester selected six of his best men, put them in plain clothes and placed them at the legation. They work two men at a time in eight-hour tricks, and will watch the legation night and day until the trouble is over and all danger of an attack on Wu is past.

THE DAYS GONE BY

By James Whitcomb Riley. O the days gone by O the days gone byl The apples in the orchard and the pathway
 in the rye; The chirrup of the robin and the whistle
 of the quail, As he piped across the meadow sweet as
 any nightingale; When the bloom was on the clover and the
 blue was in the sky, And my happy heart brimmed over-in the
 days gone by. In the days gone by, when my naked feet
 were ripped By the honeysuckle tangles where the wa
 ter lilies dipped, And the nipples of the river Tipped the
 moss along the brink Where the placid-eyed and lazy-footed cat
 tie came to drink, And the tlting snipe stood fearless of the
 truants wayward cry, And the splashing of the swimmer in the
 days gone by O the days gone byl the days gone by! The music of the laughing lip, the luster
 of the eye; The childish faith in fairies and Aladdin's
 magic ring The simple, soul-reposing, glad belief in
 everything. For life was like story, holding neither
 sob nor sigh In the golden, olden glory of the days
 gone bv.

King Trust at Columbus.

It is not necessary to go far from home to ascertain how beautifully the trust tariff scheme of the Republican party is working. Over in Columbus, Ga, several cotton mills have been established, and there are other mills in the neighboring towns. All of these mills accumulate more or less waste" in the course of spinning and weaving. and the local capitalists con cuded to build a wadding mill for the purpose of turning this material to profit. The cotton mill men subscribed for $25.- 0)0 worth of stock in such an enterprise, and the plant was half completed when all at once a halt was called. The prospective profits from the conversion of waste into batting and wadding melted into thin air The Columbus Enquirer-Sn thus explains the change:
 About three weeks ago three of the prom inent stockholders in the enterprise took a trip to New York They have since re-
 
 of their trip have leaked out
 When the promoters of the enterprise carefully made their arrangements they did not include in their calculation the batting and wadding trust of the country They soon found out however that it was a powerful concern and thoroughly organ- ized and shrewdly managed.
 Work had not progressed on the plant very far before the officers of the com pany received word from the trust that they would like to have a conference with the company. This conference was held in New York, the three stockholders re- ferred to representing the Columbus con- cern. The trust demonstrated to the sat isfacton of the gentlemen that they could crush them out easily The trust made a reasonable offer to the company. agreeing to pay them so much money if they would abandon the enterprise. This offer was ac- cepted. The money was paid and during the past day or two the stockholders have been refunded their money. They did not lose a cent-indeed, they made a little, as they received back all the money they put in and still have the lot and the half-com-

THE COLER AND ODELL HALOs

From the New York Journal.
 Mir. Benjamin B. Odell, the Platt candi- date for Governor, hearing that MT. Bird S. Coler was willing to stand for the Democratic nomination on an anti-Ramapo platform, makes the following fling:
 'Let them put MT. Coler on a pedestal as they want to- MT. Coler is the only man who sought to have Republican leg islature stamp him as the only honest man in the State. It was not done, however, be- cause the Republican legislators wanted purer gold before stamping it."
 It is not of MT. Odelrs bad taste, but of the relative merit of haos that we would speak. In the Ramapo kettle of fish brewed at Albany last fall there were im- plicated MT. Platt, MT. Lauterbach, MT. Tracy, score of lesser Republicans, and, finally, MT Benjamin B. Odell.
 It was the duty of MT. Odell to fasten a steal of $20O, 900 on this city as a favor to his master, Platt. It was the rascaly Ramapo job, which was summarily defeat-, ed by MT. Coler
 Here you have not only an explanation of OdelTs rancor, but fine comparison be- tween his halo and that of MT. Coler.
 And when the time comes we believe that the voters of the State will "stamp' different fashion.
 Even our Republican contemporaries agree that MT. Odel cannot be regarded as bulwark of safety for the people of this otata

faxes Are Not Bonds.

"The people of Alabama" says the An niston Hot Blast, will never adopt-a Con stitution that has not tax limit No man could be elected to a Constitutional Con- vention who would advocate such a wild theory"
 This may be true in great part, but there is nothing wild in the proposition to let the people appropriate their own money where and when they please. The propo- stion to bond should be distinguished from the proposition to pay on the spot. Bonding is oftentimes wildly done, but paying on the spot has never been wildly done in this State; and The Age-Herald asks the Hot Blast to furnish an example of alleged wildness.
 Very few States have a tax limit upon their sanity. It says in so many words that the average citizen cannot be trusted. It is rather wilder" than the wide open proposition "A wild set" says the Hot Blast, might get control of the Legisla- ture of the State, who might take it into their heads that a State can be built up and made great by taxation, and then there would be no limit to the wild flights of their financial fancy" The State has been jogging along nearly a century, the most of the time without tax limit, and if the Hot Blast has a record of an example of wild flight of actual on-the-spot taxa ton concealed about it's establishment it should produce it. If it has not one in Alabama, let 1t produce one from another State. The evils of bonding are numerous, but the evils of self-taxation on the spot are nil.

SAYINGS BY HUNTINGTON
