dhlSIMAS times always refnlnu XA me of Henry Grady. He was the N h most all-round happy man I ever 0 knew. There was something bright, witty and genial in everything in life to him. He was always the laughing sehoolboy of nature. Everything was a lesson to him. and every lesson pleasure. He could quickly perceive the virtues in men, and loved better than all things to develop them. have often heard him say that he never saw and talked with man whom he couldn't learn something from.
 When a big circus would come to town nothing would give him more pleasure than to ally himself with twoscore of newsboys and away they would all go to the show. He was with them and of them And Christmas was his joy.
 Well do I remember the Christmas of 'SS when he spent the sunny crisp day In shooting firecrackers with the boys, and in the afternoon, with the enthusiasm of the day upon him, wrote on the desk counter of a fireworks store this description of that Christmas day, which was printed in the Constitution the next morning:
 "A PERFECT CHRISTMAS DAY.
 No man or woman now living will see again such a Christmas day as the one which closed yesterday. when the dying sun piled the western skies with gold and purple.
 "A winter day it was, shot to the core with sunshine. It was enchanting to walk abroad in its prodigal beauty, to breathe it's elixir, to reach out the hands and plunge them open-fngered through it's pulsing waves of warmth and freshness It was June and November welded and fused into a perfect glory that held the sunshine and snow beneath tender and splendid skies. To have winnowed such day from the teeming winter was to have found an odorous peach on a bough whipped in the storms of winter. One caught the musk of yellow grain, the fla Vor of ripening nuts, the fragrance of strawberries, the exquisite odor of violets the aroma of all seasons in the wonderful day. The hum of bees underrode the whist ling wings of wild geese flying southWard. The fires slept in drowsing grates, while the people, marveling outdoors, watched the soft winds woo the roses and the lilies
 Truly it was day of days. Amid it's riotous luxury surely life was worth living to hold up the head and breathe it in as thirsting men drink water; to put every sense on its gracious excellence; to throw the hands wide apart and hug whole arm fuls of the day close to the heart, till the

Rome December 22.-The strike at Ge- noa begins to look grave. The strikers have declined the propositions made to them and have decided to continue the strike. Troops have been sent to Genoa. Vessels are unable to leave that port and it is feared the electricians and gas men will join in the movement, leaving the city in darkness.

 Almost every day to Grady was like he described this Christmas day. The bright side of life was always the picture he would have.
 And Grady made money, too. When his young life was cut off and the world lost beloved genius, his family had large in- terest in--the profitable newspaper which his genius had made into veritable gold mine Grady owned a fourth interest in that great newspaper, the Atlanta Consti- tution Today it pays an hundred thou sand dollars year in net profits.
 Grady loved the world; and the world loved him and his, and the world gave practical demonstration of it.
 The phenomenal growth of Birmingham within the two years Last is amply demon- strated by the bank statements made pub lie on Thursday. Two years ago the total deposits in all the banks amounted to s3,- 100000; on Thursday last the total deposits in all the banks of Birmingham were ST. 5000,000 In other words, bank deposits have more than doubled in two years. Business in all other lines has doubled Inde id everything has doubled except the price of real estate. Real estate in and about Birmingham is yet low.
 This town, however, is sorely lacking In some things yet-notably, in office build ings. The main offices of all the great manufacturing plants are scattered about in old buildings.

 The past two weeks have been sad ones for the higher educational interests of the State of Alabama. The miserable suuabble at the State University at Tuscaloosa, brought about by reason of the fact that too much politics has been sandwiched into university affairs, is, indeed, a misfortune to the State. If nothing more, it means q setback of a full term for the students of the University. It means that some will study, but most of them will neglect their studies for the remainder of the term, as they seem to have done for the past month or more Both the political features and the military portions of the University should be abolished. It should be either a full military school or not a military school at all If President Powers is to leave the self06l next June the trustees should se- feet from the country at large the best possible educator in America to take

Dr Louis Y. Bishop of Il Whitney

Mr.. Bishop. during his travels abroad
and in this country, has picked up the
pipes in different places and under diff

some rare and costly specimens.
The unique collection has been exhlb-

some OF the pipes coming from that
country being richly mounted and carv-

MODERN sOlrlsRS o. FORTUNE.

In the Transvaal today the soldier of
fortune Is making his last stand. No
other country in .he world Is likely to
offer the alien adventurer OF the future
the same positions and profit that have
hitherto been the portion Of Schiel. Won
Albreeht. and other mercenaries Of
Krugerdom. And in this very fact,
says the Pail Mail Gazette. we may see
the decline OF the soldier of fortune. II
we compare his gains with the colossal
harvests Of his predecessors in history.
Perron, the wonderful Frenchman who
commanded the Mahratta army, arriv-
ed in Hindoostan pennyless petty OFF,
Ger from a man-o'-war, and In nine
years amassed between one and two
million sterling. Even more rapid was
the progress OF Col. Hannay. who had
to leave John Company's" ser
vice to avoid the bailiffs. He
entered the service OF the
Nawab Wazr of Dude in 177s and left
it after three years with a fortune of
eSOO.OOO. Many other French and Eng
lish adventurers were nearly as lucky.
In spite OF the chilling effect OF mod
ern ideas the soldiers OF fortune OF the
nineteenth century form a picturesque

Az the side OF one OF the main thor

In Old Kentucky:
TRAGEDY and comedy are mighty
chummy down in old Kentucky these
days. Assassination as the result OF
political differences is pitiable. or all
the motives for murder. that of politics
is about the most pahtry and most i'm
possible of pardon. on the other hand
the efforts of the Goebelites to carry
out their revolutionary intentions have
reached the stage of farce-a very grim
and gruesome farce. indeed, but a farce
for all that. Proclam..tions, orders and
state papers are drawn up in due form
and the hand OF the dying Goebel Is
made to sign them as governor into
which Office he has been duly sworn
with as much ceremony as his condition
would perrhw. 1t is difficult to distin-
gufsh the performance whether as a
tragedy or a comedy. Like many of
nfe's episodes there is a good deal OF
both about IL.

ever cast for governor before or since.

close, matter Of a hundred ballots be-
