"While l was in practice said Judge
Gates of Kansas City. Il was before
the supreme court ON one occasion.
While waiting for my case to be called
I listened to a lawyer from the south
eastern part Of the state arguing his
case. He was at least 6 feet Z inches
tall and had q voice so deep that when
he spoke it seemed like the rumbling

there was a decided twinkle in their

said: There is reference here, your

Her Brilliant Inspiration.

Z That the proverbial absentminded
professor Is sometimes ably abetted by
his wife is illustrated by a story told
of Professor Bunsen. One evening
scout the usual hour for retiring he
took it into his head to run over to the
club Just as he and madam were re-
turning from an evening call.
"But," said the lady, Il must have
the front door locked bNore I retire."
This emergency staggered the pro-
fessor, and as be looked bewildered at
his wife the lady, seized with an in
spiration, continued:
LII 60 In and lock the door and
throw you the key from the window"
This programme was carried out, and
when he reached the club the professor
related the incident to 4 friend as evil
dence of his wife's unusual sagacity.
The friend greeted the story with q
roar of laughter.
"And why, my dear professor" he
said, Ibid you not simply admit your
wife, lock the door from the outside
and come away"
'True," calculated the learned man
of science; 1--WE never thought OF that"
The climax of the incident was reach
ed an hour later when, returning home.
the professor discovered that the lady
in her excitement had thrown out the
wrong key.

THE WAY OF A TORNADO.

Appearance and Action.

One That Was Remarkable Both In
Appearance and Action.
"a tornado that was remarkable both
In appearance and in action was one
that travelled from Texas across Okla
homa and Indian Territory in May,
1906" says Earl w. Mayo in Ainslee's.
"A man In Sherman, Okla, who had ex-
ceptional opportunities for observing
the storm, inasmuch as he was caught
up in it and carried several hundred
yards before descending to earth again,
Is certain that it was not funnel
shaped. He says Of it:
"'It looked to me like a great ball of
vapor rolling V e and over toward
me. When l first saw it distinctly, it
was at a hill perhaps an eighth Of a
mile away. 1t seemed to be about 25O
yards wide and 100 feet high. The mo-
ton was that of a ball rolling over and
over. not spiral, and it came on rather
slowly, perhaps thirty miles an hour.
Whatever the ball of cloud struck was
lifted right off the ground.
~ saw 1t pick up house after house
between the hill and me. and the cloud
seemed to be full of flying boards and
timbers. When the ball reached Mrs.
C.'s, the house neares me, it went
straight up off it's foundations. The
house remained intact until it was
about twenty or twenty-five feet from
the ground, then it burst open and the
fragments flew In all directions. 1t
looked like an exploding bomb. The
corn and cotton standing a hundred
feet on either side Of the storms path
were uninjured, but whenever the
cloud struck the higher ground it
spread out, covering a wider strip of
the surface.
"'When the cloud struck me, l went
up lightly and easily and the sensation
was not unpleasant, but l anne down
hard and vas badly shaken up, al
though not seriously injured. On the
highway north of Sherman fence wires
were torn from the posts and pounded
into the hard surface Of the road a dis
lance of two or three inches"

An object Lesson to Grant.

This story is told Of the first time
Grant ever had charge Of a large body
of men SEM out to give battle. He was
colonel in the early part of 1862. de-.
tailed to go to the relief Of an Illinois
regiment, supposed to be surrounded
by Confederates at Palmyra, Mo-, but
when he arrived the regiment had re-.
lieved itself by retiring. Grant then
went out to Florida, in the same state,
and as the regiment toiled over the hill
beyond which the enemy was supposed
to be in waiting Grant says he would
have 'givsn anything to be Back again
in Illinois,"
At the top Of the hill, instead of
troops drawn up in battle array, Grant
saw a deserted camp. 1T occurred to
me at once that Harris had been as
much afraid Of me as I had been OF
him." said Grant. From that event IL
the close Of the war l never experience
ed trepidation upon confronting II en-
envy, though l 1 always felt more or less
anxiety. I neve forgot that he had as
much aso to fear my forces as ]
had his."-Syracuse Post-Standard.

YOU CANNOT CURE PILES
By Internal Remedies.

The only sure way to cure every form of piles is to use remedy like the Pyra- mid Pile Cure. which is applied directly to the parts affected, and its wonderful healing effects are apparent from the first application because the medicinal proper ties are rapidly absorbed by tissues and sensitive membranes of the rectum, and the cure Is made speedily, and almost before the patient is aware of 1t every trace of piles has left him.
 This is one of the reasons why the Pyramid Pile Cure has been so uniformly successful. It Is applied directly just where 1t is needed and where 1t will do the most good Not by the roundabout way of the stomach or by the harsh, bar barous methods of various surgical ope- rations and so-called systems.
 Direct applications to the seat of dis ease is the only rational way, and this is fully accomplished by the Pyramid Pile Cure.
 If the voluntary testimony of thousands who have tried this remedy is worth any thing. then no sufferer has any excuse for longer delaying in giving 1t a fair trial. Knowing that when you do so The Pyramid Pile Cure will have made one more friend, the best possible advertise ment we can have The chief advantages of the remedy are: It cures without pain, inc cure is lasting. 1t contains no poison, and lastly. 1t Is the cheapest and quickest cure yet found. Your druggist can tel won what it has done for others. Testimonials of cures from all parts of The Tinted States will be sent on applica- tion to the Pyramid Drne Ca of Marshall Mich.

ARMY REGULATIONS CHANGED
Secretary Root Has Approved of New
 Revision.

Washington, April 13.-Secretary Root today approved the report of revision and codification of the army regulations prepared by a special commission This revision and codification was necessary on account of the many changes that have been made in the army regulations by law and general orders since the last book of regulations was printed, also by the changes of the conditions in the United States
 One of the regulations withdrawn in times when troops were stationed upon the frontier of the United States allowed the commanding officer of post or camp to issue arms and ammunition to settlers for the purpose of self preservation against the Indians. This was not made specific and as the frontier of the United States has practically disappeared. the order could now be interpreted to allow the issuance of arms to people of the Philippines, Porto Rico, Cuba or Alaska. It was thought necessary to rescind this regulation Some minor changes also were made regarding payments of troops.

TUSCALOOSA INTERESTED.
Decision of Judge Tyson On Railroad
 Property Causes Comment.

Tuscaloosa, April 13.-(Special.) J. The decision of Judge Tyson of the Supreme Court relative to the depot property of railroads being subject to taxation outside of the regular assess ment made by the State Board of As sessment was received here with a great deal of interest, as an identical case to the one from Limestone had been raised here some time since, but the authorities had agreed to await the decision of the Supreme Court. There are something like dozen de- pots in the county of Tuscaloosa, and it is estimated that the taxes to be derived from them for the past five years will amount to something like $1000 The Alabama Great Southern and the Mobile and Ohio Railroads have both passenger and freight de- pots at this place.
 The dummy line on Broad street Is being greatly improved. It is being raised six inches, and new 6-pound rails and new crossties are being put in. When this is completed the street on either side will be graveled and built up into a first-class thorough fare, similar to the Greensboro street.
 An interesting meeting of the Tusca- loosa Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution was held with Mrs. William Cochrane Fitts yester- day. On account of absence from the city of several of the members the attendance was limited, but pleasant morning was spent. The hero of the Revolution whose life was discussed at this meeting was Samuel Adams. Miss Melissa Wyman read an interest ing paper on his life, and Miss Annie Searcy rendered lovely solo, "Adieu, Marie" The next meeting of the chap ter will be held with Miss Melissa Wyman on May 3.
 The report that Hon. Hannis Taylor has been offered or will be offered the presidency of the University of Alabama has been received here with much interest, where MT. Taylor per sonally is very popular. However, there appears an undercurrent of opin- ion here favorable to the selection of some prominent college man for the presidency outside of the State. The opinion that politics has been the bane of the existence of the University has gained strong hold on the people of Tuscaloosa, and they desire to see some one elected to the presidency who cannot have even the suspicion of politics about his garments. At present the University is moving along smoothly and the boys and professors are in perfect harmony.
