 From the Athens Courier. The convention Is making haste ves slowly and there are some people whc are bold enough to say that the reason they do not get on is that there are too many men in the convention who never made four dollars day before, and who like their job. Be this as 1t may, the convention should have done more work and less talking The people who are paying the bills are simply sick and dis gusted with the whole push. From the Jackson South Alabamian. On the suffrage question we would make the following suggestion:
 Leave our election laws just as they are now except that every voter be requir ed to fill out his own ticket without the aid of any other person and no ticket to be counted unless properly filled out. And make 1t a misdemeanor, with heavy pen atty, for any person to aid or furnish in- structions in any form. This would be an educational qualification, for we all know that 1t takes a man of considerable intelligence to fill out the tickets voted under our present election law. This would cover white and black alike, and, therefore, not carry out the "pledges of

The Governor and His Chief City.

Yesterday. for the first time, the peo- pie of Alabama's chief city saw Governor Jelks as Governor, though Mir. Jelks dwelt here a few months in the boom days" that arc dead.
 And Birmingham is nightly pleased with Governor Jelks His great honor hasn't changed the man in any degree. He is stiu the sensible genial and happy good fellow he has always been in the past. Perhaps he is a trihe stouter, cor poreally. and that becomes we'll as his honors do
 The burdens of State have not robbed him of his merry laughter or his saving grace of humor.
 He still laughs, still sees the humorous side of things. How many a good-natured and charitable chuckie he must enjoy be- hind the veil of his high dignity! Yet, in some relations, one may not peep behind that veil where the tender and stout heart of the man ever beats in broad human sympathy.
 General Rhodes declared yesterday that all the people of Alabama had come to love Governor Jelks. That was a true speech, and gracefully said, as became a man accustomed to. saying graceful things and, above all. meaning themi
 charming gentlewoman said she thought Governor Jelks ought to part with his historic mustache and be clean shaven, or wear the properest of all full beard. Doubtless he will appreciate the suggestion, for she said that she and Governor Jelks "were good fellows to- gether in days gone by"
 Governor Jelks charmed and delighted his chief city. Birmingham hopes he wifi come again soon and stay long!

Cool Freezes at Last.

Yesterday was the thirty-eighth day of unbroken heat in Birmingham; that is to say that it was the thirty eighth day of hot weather as weather goes in Birming- ham, which isn't hot at all compared with Montgomery and the great cities of the torrid East and West! "All pre- vious records have been broken" as the phrase goes.
 The temperature yesterday was five or six degrees lower than 1t had been on the hottest previous days but 1t was easily the most oppressive of all the days of heat in this valley Beginning Sunday afternoon. we had the killing quality of

Ask M. Walsh" Is the stock saying at the Bureau of Navigation in the Navy Department when anything is missing or hard to find; and as is usual with stock sayings there is q story behind it says the New York Times One day the bureau sent a telegram to the Com mandant of a certain navy yard instruct ing him about an important matter, and ordering him to acknowledge the receipt of the instructions by wire There was no answer, but several days after the acknowledgement was received-by mall. Admiral Crowninshield, the Chief of the Bureau, was indignant, and a hot mes- sage was sent to the Commandant, de- manding to know why he had not obeyed the order of the department on such an important matter. Back came pretty tart reply announcing that a telegram had been sent promptly on receipt of the instructions.
 The bureau instituted search, and finally found that a telegram had been sent through the Western Union to Act ing Secretary Hackett and receipted for by I'M. Walsh" No such man was

Kneaded Bread for Ills Mother.

President Loubet of France is quite up to the level of his high functions, relates the Saturday Evening Post. He receives kings and reporters with the dignity and grace peculiarly his own. He smokes a pipe and does not know the meaning of snobbery. Once when he was prime minis ter he made a flying visit-it was between two stormy sessions of the Chamber of Deputies-to his old mother at the farm In Dauphiny. The old dame was in the kitchen kneading the bread for the fort nightly baking, which Is still a custom in the old families of the Midi. She put her fioury arms around his neck and kissed him.
 "Ah, mother, you should give over this heavy work" said the prime minister
 And sit with folded hands on baking dayi' the good old housewife cried indig- nantly. "No, no; but admit 1t is not so easy as it was'
 well, today you shall fold your hands sit down, mother, and talk to me-" said the first minister of France, and he took off his coat, rolled up his shirt sleeves and kneaded the bread When he had finished and heard all the gossip of the farm he kissed the good old mother and went back to the more conspicuous duties of statesman.
 This simplicity is the chief characteris- tic of his Presidential administration. He has no love for empty splendor. He had made the Elysee palace as reasonably democratic as the White House. Like most hard-working men, he gets early to his work. In winter he rises at 6. in sum mer at o'clock; he drinks a cup of cof- fee and reads the newspapers and the re- ports prepared by his secretaries. Every day from to 10 he walks abroad, follow ing the avenue of the Champs Elysees and the boulevards. He marches briskly, a cane in hand-for he has peculiar an- tipathy to the umbrella. 'Td rather be rained on than carry such a ridiculous object over my head" he said once.

to be humorous, and this is about as
near as ne ever comes to it. He
thinks he's doing pretty wei, though,
and he really is-for him.
"Oh, come off," said Sparks. Tell
me how it feels"
Its such hard work to explain
anything to you" replied Dawley as
he walked away.
He felt Disguised with the whole
thing, and he was still more disgust
ed when Sparks went around with
handkerchief in his hand, begging the
other fellows to wipe an imaginary
black spot off his nose This request
was always granted, and for a time
it was quite the usual thing for the
men to pull out pocket mirrors and
handkerchiefs and rub their own
noses when Dawley approached them.
Still, nobody could have guessed how
the proceedings exasperated the
young man from his manner, and the
joke naturally died at last
If at first he decided that Miss
Dixon's action was somewhat indeli-
cate he changed his mind about it
afterward. It might have been in
anybody else, but she was too en-
tirely child of nature, tempered
with Chicago, that it seemed on con-
sideration almost proper. A day sell
dom passed that he did not go up
to her desk to talk to her, and he
found himself very much amused by
her artless chatter. He felt that he
was unbending. He occasionally
hurled Babylonic bricks at her and
was not in the least offended when
she told him that his language was
''fierce'' and desired him to come
down to where she could reach him
without standing on tiptoe and rip
ping the seams in her sleeves. He
told johnson, the one man in the
house with whom he was on intimate
terms, that 1.-The little girl was SIM
ply delicious"
"Watch her chewing gum now" said
johnson.
''Oh. WE'LL" replied Dawley, tolerant
]y, Hthat's just part of her. You
ought to have heard her telling me
about her ma and her pa, and the way
she called down young lady friend of
hers about something the young lady

'Great Scott, moi" exclaimed Daw-
ley. ooh, of course, / jolly her once
in awhile, but she knows how to take
that guess she does"
When Dawley began to think it over
he was not so sure whether Miss Dixon
knew how to take him. He had occa
siona1ly made protestations of an
ardent and consuming passion. He
had called her Emlneline for some time
when they were alone, but she had
laughed at him and he had supposed
that she had understood perfectly well
that he was not in earnest. He was,
in the main, right-minded young
man, and, recalling the fable of the
boy and the frogs, he reflected that
what was sport to him might be death
to her. He decided that he would keep
himself steadily to the lace depart
n1ent and away from Miss Dixon's
desk. He did so for about a week and,
then, yielding to feeling of curiosity,
he went over and found her chatting
in a very animated fashion with Sparks
and showing no sgn of mental an
guish.
He felt irritated. and vaguely UNI
easy, and when he heard her join her
musical laugh to Sparks raucous bray
a moment later his irritation turned to
something like rage. For another
week he avoided her, and during that
time his uneasiness became more de-
fined. He lost his appetite to a great
extent, which he could hardly account
for. At the end of the week he con-
cluded that as the young woman was
evidently in no danger of misplacing
her affections he might as well go back
Ind talk to her. He went.
