CONDEMNED TO EAT A BOOK.

Sad and angered at the domination
 of Sweden over his native land of Denmark. which under Christian " had played no very masterful part in the thirty years war, Theodore Rein king in moment of ill-judged patri- otism published book entitled '.Dania ad Exteros de Perfdia Sueco- rum'-not very brilliant performance indeed. but sufficiently virulent to arouse the resentment of those against whom it was directed. who. laying hands upon the luckless author, flung him into prison. where he lay for many years. At length, weary of keeping one who was rather fool than a knave, his captors offered him the choice of losing his head or eating his book. Reinking chose the latter alternative. He cut his book into very fine pieces, which. with the aid of other ingredients. he made into kind of sauce that, with thoughts of liberty as an appetizer, he managed to deyour.

WILLARD A 100000.
Has Voted for but Three Presidents
 and All Were Assassinated.

and All Were Assassinated.
 Thomas Willard, a Boston travelling man, says that never again will he vote in a presidential election. lie considers himself ''hoodoo. MT Willard and two or three other travel ing men, all bound for St Louis, were waiting at the Seventh street station for their train one night recently. h talking about the assassination or President Mckinley, MT Willard said:
 Tn all my life, and l am 60 years old. I have voted for only three presl- dents, and. gentlemen. l swear to you that I'll never vote for another
 s.What's the matter? Can't you pick winners?" laughingly queried one. of the crowd.
 ''Is voted for Lincoln and he was assassinated. The next man 1 voted for was Garfield and the same thing was the last one and you know what befell him.'
 Everybody seemed interested and the travelling man continued: That is only half the story. l never have cast but three votes. When MT Lin coin was first elected I stayed away | army of the north and was wounded. When he was elected for the second term I cast my ballot for him. He was assassinated Well. didn't vote for several years after that. There was always something that didn't suit me. One time the platform was wrong: another time I didn't like the candidates. But when Garfield was nominated I was enthusiastic. He was personal friend of mine ana l went to the polls early. That night I was the proudest man in the coun- try. It tickled my vanity to know that my friend was elected. Then he was shot. I began to think. Only twice had I voted and both times my favorites were murdered. Of course I didn't hold myself responsible.
 ''On the day of the next presidential election I was out on the road. The next time I was displeased with something or other and did not vote. So it went until last November. Things were pretty warm all over the country and thought I'd give Me Kinley little lift. Then I thought of what had befallen my other two candidates, and I debated long time whether I would vote, but finally de cided was a fool to think of those things, and I voted just to show my self that I had overcome my supersti- tion.
 And the first thing said when the president was shot was Don't you vote again. ''-Louisville Courier Journal

 Mrs. Jemison will remain with The Times as assistant editor and MT. Little, the new editor, in his salutatory predicts that ''her presence will do much to in- sure the success of thO enterprise"
 Mrs. Jemison is perhaps the only wo- man in the South who has had entire charge of a daily, and her success has been a great source of pride to her friends an the Alabama Woman's Press Associa- tion, of which organization she is the honored Vice-President.
 The Tuscaloosa Times Is one of the old est papers in Alabama. It is now seven- ty-five years old. It was bought by Mir. W. c. Jemison nearly eighteen years ago when it was a weekly. Mir. Jemison shortly afterward started The Daily Times.

TWO PARDoNs GRANTED.
Governor Jelks Liberates James Mor.
 rison and Mat Youn Rhlood.

I1SOu anu 1udC LouAS DAOOu'
 Governor Jelks yesterday granted an unconditional pardon to James Morrison, a Jefferson County negro, who has served more than five years of a twenty-year sentence for assault to murder. Morrison will leave the State penitentiary today.
 In the winter of 1895 Morrison cut a negro woman severely. The woman lln- gered between life and death for some time, but finally recovered. Morrison was arraigned before Judge Samuel E. Greene of the Jefferson County Criminal Court and on February 15th 1896, the negro was convicted of assault to murder and sentenced to twenty years.
 The papers in the case show that Nor rison has made an excellent prisoner and his petition for Executive clemency was backed up by a recommendation from Judge Greene, the solicitor who prose- cuted the case. and numerous good citi- zens of Jefferson County. Moreover it was shown that previous to the crime Morrison had borne a good reputation.
 Governor Jelks also remitted a $50 fine in the case of Mat Youngblood. a negro woman convicted in May. 1901 of gaming in the Circuit Court of Crcnshaw County. The woman was fined $50 and costs which amounted to $106.
 It was shown to the Governor that the woman is demented and that the charge against her grew out of small game of poker. The woman has paid the costs, and. upon the recommendation of the trial solicitor and many white citizens of Crenshaw County, the fine was remitted.

PENSION WARRANTS
COUNTY TAX COLLECTORS IN
 STRUCTED TO CASH THEM.
State Treasurer Smith Issues Cir cular Letter Authorizing Pay
 ment of Warrants from State
 Money to Save Vets Discount.

State Treasurer, J. Craig Smith, has sent circular letter to county tax col lectors throughout the State authorizing them to pay pension warrants in their respective counties and remit the war rants with their monthly collections as cash.
 Mir. Smith said yesterday that within his recollection this was the first time collectors had been authorized to pay these warrants. He said that in many cases pensioners live remote from banks and 1t Is necessary for them to pay dis count charges on their warrants. It was with a desire to save these charges to the old soldiers and their widows that MT. Smith conceived the idea of having the collectors pay the warrant with the States money. are remittfng to the treasurer daily and they have money on hand with which to liQuidate the vouchers.
 The circular letter which MT. Smith is sending to the collectors is as follows. "The pension warrants to ConfederateS soldiers and widows are now being dis tributed by the Probate Judges through out the State. Many of the pensioners are residents of your county, and as you are just in the midst of your collecting season, and will be constantly in funds
 
 Treasury, l therefore respectfully request that you pay from your collections as many of these pension warrants as pos sible. All such warrants thus taken, will be accepted at the State Treasury in your settlements at their face value.
 'ln taking up these warrants be care full to have the payee in the warrant to endorse his or her name across the back of the warrant, and if such payee is unable to write, and endorsement is made by another person by request. then let such endorsement by mark be attested by one or more subscribing disinterested witnesses. In forwarding these warrants to the treasury please endorse the same in your official capacity.
 ''Very respectfully yours.
 'J. Craig Smith,
 State Treasurer" The letters will be received by all the collectors this week.

WOMEN AND EDUCATION.

Some writer in Progress who wishes to answer the argument which has been advanced, that equal suffrage would add to the powersof the illiterate vote, quotes the statistics published by the National Bureau of Education showing that the public high schools of every State in the Union are graduating more girls than boys-twice and three times as many. The reason for this disparity, which will be astonishing to persons who have not looked into 1t, is the growing tendency to take boys out of school early in order to put them into business. /~
 The National SBureau of Statistics as published are as follows:
 In 1899, the public high schools of the States classed by the Bureau of Educa- tion as the North Atlantic Division <Nlnine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Mas sachusctts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey and Pennsyivania) graduated s.Ss6 boys and I.4So girls.
 The South Atlantic Division Delaware. Maryland, District of Columbia, Virginia. West Virginia, North and South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida) graduated S62 boys and 1.764 girls.
 The South Central Division (Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisia- ma, Texas, Arkansas, Oklahoma and h. dian Territory graduated LOSS boys and 1,z9s girls.
 The North Central Division (ohio, h. diana, Illinois. Michigan, Wisconsin, Min nesota. Iowa, Missouri. North and South Dakota, Nebraska and Kansas) graduated 1o.ss7 boys and ls,5s7 girls.
 The Western Division CMontana, Wyom- ing. Colorado. New Mexico, Arizona, Utah. Nevada, Idaho, Washington, Oregon. ana California; graduated 1.oSS boys and 1873 girls.
 In the whole United States the public high schools in 1899 graduated 20.344 boys and ss,l24 girls. In 1898 the whole num- Der of boys in attendance at public high schools was lse,1s7; of girls, 2s0,f13.
 The writer in Progress adds that:
 Tn the colleges the young men as yet outnumber the young women: but the colleges are fast going the way of the high schools, and for the same reason. Between isZ2 and lSe9 the number of male college students in proportion to the whole population nearly doubled; but dur ing the same period the number of female college students in proportion to the population increased more than six times. The competition between men in business is constantly growing keener, while the prejudice against higher education for women is constantly growing less. As . result of these two factors combined, the disparity bids fair to increase still further.
 "one famous college professor lately said he was not in the least troubled by the prospect that young women would soon outnumber young men in the col- leges, as they already do in the high schools. He regretted that more young men were not seeking the advantages of high school and collegiate training, but he was glad that the young women, at any rate, were having those advantages glad for their own sake and that of the country ...
