 .'Did you ever hear how the word but tive Burleson of Texas of a group of newspaper men on the Row" the other night. Well 1t did. There's an old judge down our way who swears that If he hadn't managed to slip in that word at the proper time he would have. experi- enced a swift and painful finish It was at. the time of the Paris lynching, which took place not far from the, Judges place. He heard about what the mob intended to- do, and, being law-abiding, citizen and somewhat God-fearing, he was hor- .rified. -.-..--- s4 ,---.rs-.s--
 oh this Is horrible, horrible he said to his son. I'll have to go down, there and stop this. Get me a horse
 "Youd better stay away from there, pop. the kid said. That crowdll shoot you
 ".Oh, no; 1t must be stopped" the old man declared. and he mounted his horse and started for the place. They'd built rough platform, and about fifteen hum dred Texans were standing around it, ready for the ceremony. when the old judge rode up. He spurred his horse through the mob, jumped off. tossed the bridle reins to a bystander and mounted the platform.
 "'Fellow citizens he yelled, you are about to drag the fair fame of our com- munity in the mud of everlasting dis grace
 At this juncture there was an inter- ruption from a man in front, who said:
 "Just shoot the dern head off'n him. A dozen guns were leyeled. but the old judges presence of mind didn't desert him.
 But he yelled-the pistols wavered- If we must take the law into our own hands, let us proceed about it In a quiet and orderly manner

[ oNlY DAIly NEWSPAPER IN ALABAMA
He may sleep in security; for he hath the horn of abundance.
 - King Henry w.
Sewaoe Bottled Up.

Common law Is not always common sense, and case in point is the re- cent decision of the Supreme Court in the Sandefur case. It may be good law but if so law and horse sense are not one and the same thing.
 For it is decision that permits Q farmer who happens to be growing garden-sass on the lower reaches of 8 stream to forbid the establishment of factories and towns above him on that stream. It means that the drain age for such towns and factories pro vided by nature, cannot be used by the towns and factories because the farmer is entitled to look upon the stream in question in all it's original purity. Practically it means that stream is to be adapted to the esoteric and aesthetic desires of the farmer rather than to the uses that nature plainly intcr to serve.
 Such law would compel Chi cago to fill up it's drainage canal lead ing into the Illinois river and it would blot out hundreds of towns and thous- ands of factories in other States. But other States may not have such com mon law. Their common law may be based on common sense.
 When analysed the decision says the sewage of this town shall be bot tied up or bucketed away, or perhaps carried about in the pocket. Nature has provided but one manner of drain age in this part of Jones yalley-a valley enclosed by high hills. The Supreme Court says natures plan is a nuisance and must be abolished in six short months.
 At this time it is not apparent how nature can be reversed in the short space of six months unless indeed each man becomes his own sanitary cart. To carry the decision out lit erally would fill this valley with dis ease and death. It would be as ruin ous to Farmer Sandefur as to any one else, for it would destroy his custom. CTS, and the pestilence might spread to the farmer himself It goes to show to what lengths the common law can be stretched when circumstances are not considered. The object oi having body of unwritteh law is to have law so elastic 1t will fit any case. As construed by the Supreme Court it is a misfit in Jones valley.

Two Canal Bills.

The House of Representatives unan- imously agreedet make the Nicaragua bill special order for Tuesday, Jan uary [, and to continue to consider it as a special order until disposed of, revenues and appropriation bills alone excepted. There was not voice raised in opposition to the proposition, and the House will undoubtedly pass a canal bill in January.
 The Hepburn bill has been reported from the House committee on com merce. and the Morgan bill from the interoceanic canal committee of the Senate. The two bills are not radi- cally unlike, for both accept the Mic aragua route, both authorize the Pres ident to conclude right of way treat les with Nicaragua and Costa Rica. both name in the work of construction $1SO.000,O0 as a maximum.
 
 The difference in the two bills are not important. The Hepburn bill ap- propriates $10,000,000 as a beginning, while the Morgan bill limits the start to s5,OOO,000. This difference can readily be adjusted In directing the work the Morgan bill provides for a board consisting of the Secretary of War and eight citizens to be appointed by the President-the Secretary of War to be president of the board The Hepburn bill simply hands the big task over to the President and the Secretary of War. There is really no difference in the two provisions, the President being the responsible off cer in either case. The Hepburn bill calls for such measures of defense" at either end of the canal as may seem to be necessary, and the Morgan bill is silent as to provisions against a public enemy.
 Either bill is ample, and Congress will no doubt select the best provisions of both and weave them together. Congressman Hepburn will hurry his bill along as rapidly as .hc can, and as

Root will remain because he is the Pres ident's closest personal friend in public life, being closer to Mir.

Within sixty days there will be new cabinet. and Secretary Cages standing placard for newspaper men, 'I have not resigned today is true enough for the moment but it is in spirit all buncombe.

 Congress has adjourned for the holidays and every sleeping car out of Washington tonight is crowded. Several of the Ala bama politicians were unable as early as yesterday morning to obtain berths Congressmen Wiley, Clayton, Richardson and Thompson have departed for Ala
 
 bama. though Judge Richardson will tar ry till Monday at Sano Louei, Green vile, S. C.. where his youngest daughter is attending Mrs. Perrys school. Colo nel Bankhead, Mir. Burnett and Taylor had been at their Alabama homes for several days. By the way. some little uneasiness is felt as to the outcome of the contest of MT. Spears against Con- gressman Burnett, there being no cer- tainty that MT. Burnett will be allowed to retain the seat to which he was elect ed.
 United States District Attorney Vaughan, Marshal Cooper and Postmas- ter Hughes of Birmingham have depart ed for home, as have Marshal Bryan and Captain J. W. Dimmick of Montgomery. Captain Dimmick, who is the national Republican committeeman for Alabama. came hither to help Marshal Bryan and other friends.
 There is gossip of the lobby to the ef- feet that when former United States Marshal Ben w. Walker of Montgomery who was an applicant to succeed the present marshall Bryan was received by the President yesterday he (Mr. Walker) used violent language respecting Mar shal Bryan and Attorney Vaughan whom the President had just reappointed, and that he denounced in bitter terms various Republican leaders Of Alabama. It is alleged that MT. Walker made quite a scene with the President, who is said to have displayed annoyance.

SAMPSON IN CRITICAL CONDITION

Washington Correspondent of Chicago
 Tribune.
 Admiral William T. Sampson Is criti- caliy i'll and probably will never again leave his house in New Hampshire ave- nue. Every pleasant day since the Ad- miral and his family returned from the mountains at the end of the summer sea- son he was able to take an afternoon walk accompanied by Mrs Sampson. On Sunday he went out for the last time but found himself. so weak he was oblig- ed to return to the house without fin- ishing his walk.
 It was learned today that Admiral Sampson has not been cognizant of the various features of the so-called Samp- son-schley controversy for a year or more. Until recently he has known in a general way what has been going on, but has taken no personal interest in the case, not even while the court, of in- quiry was in session. He has displayed no interest whatever In the findings.
 Admiral Sampson's family and friends are made painfully aware of the bitter ness of the controversy by the receipt in almost every mail of abusive letters from minimizing Schley partisans in va rious parts of the United States.

The Man and the Girl,

She was pretty girl and he a big, brave man. and they had come into the jewelry shop to buy present. That is. he was going to buy the present to send to his sister In California, and she was to help him with her advice.
 In between the times that she looked at silver pepper cruets and hair brushes she examined few chatelaine purses. Over these she waxed so enthusiastic that when. a few minutes later her att tention was drawn to another part of the shop the big brave man whispered to the clerk to put the prettiest bag away and he'd give instructions concerning it later.
 After a while. while the hunt for the suitable present still continued, the man pronounced certain antique lamp a beauty.
 ''The very thing for den," he ex- claimed. "If I had only Hal to consider I'd sent that. but I want both Hal and Nell to be pleased so 1t won't do."
 When he moved away to look at some clocks the girl beckoned mysteriously to the clerk
 Flow much is that lamp? she asked with feminine caution.
 The salesman named a sum not too ex- orbitant to suit her ladyships ideas
 Very good,' she whispered put it away for me until tomorrow. "Ill come in and pay for it then and tell you how to mark it." v . .
 Then she hastened back to the side of the man, looking so phenomenally inno- cent that that unsuspecting individual asked her what was the matter
 After these little private arrangements had been made the minds of both seemed to be relieved, and they bent their ener- gies- with great enthusiasm to the selec- ton of a silver epergne for the mans sister.
 Only once was peace disturbed there after. and that was when the man ad- mired some scarfpins. Then the girl looked agitated and the clerk trembled for the antique lamp. But It's safety was imperiled only an instant. After a mo- ment's thought her ladyship recovered her continuity, and directly the sales man-who almost sees most of the ante Christmas game+-opened the door and bowed his customers out, receiving from each, without the quiver of an eyelash a significant look that spoke volumes of warnings and requests to be as silent as the grave.

The resignation of Charles Emory Smith was unwittingly forecast by Con- gressman Underwood ten days ago. MT. Underwood had just returned from an official visit to the Postmaster General, and. joining some Alabama Friends. he said:
 MT. Smith impresses me as being weary of his office and anxious to get out of it as soon as he decently can.''
 At that moment Mir. Smith virtually resigned. And 1t may be accepted in ex- press terms that his resignation is the beginning of the end of President Roose- velt's Mckinley cabinet. All the other members except Secretary of War Root and Secretary of Agriculture are going out as quickly as they may. Secretary

Pie Of Pies.

Apropos of apple pie, a writer in
Golfers Weekly has this to say
"Apple pie is always the style. Go
into a restaurant and ask for cut
of standard, and the waiter will
bring you a piece Of apple pie. He
knows what standard pie IS. There
are times IL the year when other
kinds make squirt and run on
ahead little, but apple pie keeps
logging on, anu by and by it over
takes T. EN-. This month mince pie
is in the lead because il is an ortho
dox holiday article of diet. Last
month pumpkin pie had the call be
cause it was thanksgiving time.
Next spring when pie plant comes
in-some people call it rhubarb,
bat that always sounds stuck up,
and like you were trying to show off
every body will eat pie plant be-
cause it is good for the blood. In
the summer peach pie will forge
away to the front, and I'll nev yer tell
you why. But, just as | say, apple
pie keeps Jogging on, and IL the
long run wins the race. mean the
right kind of an apple pie. Once
in a while you will meet somebody
that is always trying to be different
from anybody else, and he will go
on about English deep apple PIE,
and how much more superior it is
to the common, vulgar thing we eat
because we don't know any better.
Well, English deep apple pie is
good; | don't denv that. 1t can
help being good. You cook apples
almost any way and they're not bad
eating, but, law me! when
you put them in a crock and turn a
little cup upside down in the middle
of them and cover it all over with
lid Of pastry, that isn't pie at all.
It's just stewed apples. Don't you
see that you must have bottom Of
pastry, and that there is just pro-
portion o. crust to filling that mcst
not be deviated from one iota, or
your pie is inartistic and an offense
against the laws of taste?'
