 Congressman-to-be Sidney J. Bowie of the Fourth District is in Birmingham but will return to Anniston this morning. The fact that Mir Bowie is without opposition for Congress in the Fourth Alabama District is one of the most novel facts in this year of political novelties.

Maxims For Married People.

Let your wife show and prove she
loves you, but never let her tell it to
you. On the contrary, tell it to her
all day long, if you choose she will
never tire of hearing you telling her.
II your wife loses her temH.r. keep
cool as 4 cucumber AL cuJ y the
scene. The effect will be marvellous
and instantaneous.
If you are>Of a jealous disposition
take all the precautions in the world
that your wife may not see it, for it
will make her so proud that she may
give you serious reasons for indulging
in it. If you are suspicious, be a di-
plomatist and hide it from her, for if
she does not deserve your suspicion
she will naturally resent it, and if she
does, it will only make hypocrite of
her
Quarrel with your wife, but never
bore her. Never fdget, never fuss
and never sulk. If she is late keep
ing an appointment, don't scOld, don't
make yourself unpleasant. Tell her
| it's much better to have her late than
not at all Next time so without her.
The cure is infallible.
If she is late coming down, take it
for granted that she is trying TO look
her best for you Feel Aattered and
show your gratitude. Remember that
the modern coming woman is the one
who says she will be ready in 10 min-
utes. Laugh at it, make fun of 1t,
crack a Joke on it, but never let n wo-
man suppose thatin your manly gram
deur you can lose your temper, even
your equanimity for such triaes.

The Value Of Money.

A Southern newspaper tells story
of a woman who had no idea of the
value of money. 1t happened one
day that her eyes fell upon magnif-
cent ring, and she coveted it. The
price of the ring was one thousand
dollars. But what was one thousand
dollars to her in comparison with the
ring?
Her husband consented to the pur-
chase; but he took an interesting
method of educating his wife concern
ing the great price Of the ring He
instructed his banker to send her the
one thousand dollars in small pieces
pennies, dimes, quarters. In came
the money, bagful after bagfal. She
had never had such an idea of one
thousand dollars before When the
money was piled before her it alarmed
her; the price of the ring went up
in her estimation a hundredfold, and
wasJconsidered an extravaganza which
she of her own option abandoned.
If we could appreciate the value of
money in the light and comfort and
hope which it may bring souls in dark
ness and trouble it would check many
a selfish purchase and give US a more
Just idea of the trusteeship by which
we hold our money.

Blessed Two.

When two souls walk together
That love each others ways,
The worlds all summer weather,
Sweet nights and happy days
And the road is never lonely,
And joy is never done.
II but the two may only
Go living on as one
When two souls walk together
LIES burden born TO share,
Oh. lighter than a feather
The weight that each must bear
Nor shall the lack demean them
OF scrip or minted gold.
For they own the world between them,
Like Eden's two of old.
