A Small Strike.

The company that has the contract Of building the steel bridge across the Ala hama River just at the eastern extremity of the city for the Louisville and Nash vile Railroad has had a great many troubles since it began work on the structure First it had a flat boat upon which there was an engine and pump to get away from its mooring and sink to the bottom of the river after It nao fioated about a mile below the city. Alter the boat had been raised and lowed back to where the bridge was to be built, the river took a sudden rise and the high water swept away the coffer dam of the main pier. Since then the company has had several little accidents that have retarded the work Monday morning brought forth more trouble, which 1t has not vet settled and which is delaying the work at a very critical stage. when it was time for the negro laborers to go to work Monday morning. they did not appear but in their stead sent a delega- ton to the contractors and informed them that they would not work any more un- less they were paid for their labor every Saturday night The laborers have been working by the month and not being used to being paid that way, they found some difficulty in getting trusted for enough provisions to last them. Saturday night when the men went to their mer- chants for the next weeks rations, they were refused credit and that brought on the strike Monday morning The con- tractors refused to pay them weekly and the laborers are still holding out with the prospect of winning. Laborers are very scarce and all who have been asked to go to work have demanded to be paid every Saturday.

HANDSOME NEW DEPOT
RUMoRED THE L. & N. WILL
 BUILD ONE IN SELMA.
Two Sites Have Been Suggested, But So Far Nothing Definite as to the Roads Plans Can
 Be Learned.
Advertiser Bureau,

AUVertlSPE buTedu,
 Selma, Dec. 4.
 For several days all sorts of rumors have been freely circulated in Selma that when the two new roads of the L. and N. had been completed into Selma and when the company had began the construction of the third road from Selma into the mineral regions of North Alabama, 1t would erect an elegant, new and modern union station on the site where the South ern Union Station is now located. Wheth- CT there is any truth in this rumor is not known and there is no way as yet to find out.
 Today the rumors have been prevalent again. but this time the locality of the new depot to be built by the l.. and N. has been changed from the foot of Broad Street where the Union Depot is now To- cated to the foot of Water Street where the Western Railroad of Alabama has it's freight depot. Some years ago MT. E.. Gilman, Jr., leased the vacant lot near the Western depot and built upon 1t large warehouse. Today the reports say that the L. and N. has bought this lease and warehouse from him and that as soon as its two branches has been com pleted into Selma it will begin the work of erecting an elegant station on the site, A prominent Water Street merchant knlS Sdiu lHdt very piouopis thO latter report came nearer being the truth If the business portion of Selma Is ever extended, he said, it would be bound to spread in that direction. and the lower end of Water Street offered better ship ping facilities to the wholesalers Of the city than they could secure in any other portion of the town. For that reason alone he was certain that in a few years the wholesale houses of Selma would De- gin moving to the lower end of Water Street.
 Whether there Is any truth in the ru- mors concerning the new depot IS not known, but at any rate the coming to Selma of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad has infused new life into nearly every one here. and every citizen of Sei- ma is confident that in a few years the population and business of the city will have been doubled and the merchants of this place will have railroad facili- ties in connection with the Alabama River which will give them better freight rates and then they will be better able to com pete with the merchants of other cities.

An Undesirable Boarder.

Some time ago the keeper Of a board
ing house retired from business after
having acquired comfortable com
potency in the course Of about 20 years.
During that period her house became
we'll known in the city and among the
women in her own business. She neV-
er realized how well known it was IN
til she set out to find place to live in
herself.
She applied first at the house kept by
g. woman nearly as we'll known as her
self only to learn that there was no
room for her. It was not until she had
been through the same experience sew
eral times that she came to understand
that she was not wanted IN the estab-
Eshments Of her former rivals. Her
reputation for keeping fine house was
too much for the other women, who
did not want to submit to the scrutiny
Of a former boarding house keeper who
had made reputation and fortune IN
the business.
She learned, after going to q hotel
where her record could not be used
against her: that she was not the only
woman who had found it difficult to
get into d boarding house after having
kept one Of her own. When they are
well known. it is practically impossible
for such women to find quarters, for
whatever her reasons may be the land
lady does not like to shelter her kind

THE HONEYBEE.
It's Curious Jaws and It's Wonderful
Little Tongue.

Little Tongue.
With the closest scrutiny it becomes
evident that the bee does not, like
other creatures, house its tongue IN its
mouth, but neatly folds it back beneath
it's head. Bumblebees, when disturb
cd, have way Of threatening with
their jaws, while the honcybee has
the more direct method Of settling in
truders with her sting.
The jaws Of the bee are very credit
able organs and can gi"e quite for
midable nip. Catch bee in net and
see how vlciously it will bite at the
meshes, working its jaws sideways in
stead of up and down.
We call this wonderful implement Of
the bee a tongue, but in reality it is
more than this, for the whole arrange
ment consists Of two slender flaments
called maxilln, the under lip and the
actual tongue. If a drop Of honey lies
near the surface Of Q flower, the slen-
der, active tongue, darting out from
the case formed by the maXille, icks
it up with the same case that 4 dog
licks a plate. Should the tube Of the
flower be elongated the bee has at
command another length Of tongue.
which is shot out from within and
shuts up like telescope when no
longer wanted.
To appreciate fully this delicate
organ you should watch the bee sepa-
rate it into its component parts and
clean it out. The lengthening process
Of the proboscis, as the tongue and it's
allied parts are sometimes called, IS
accomplished by series Of springs and
hinges. In addition to this tclescoping
power, the tongue is hairy member,
the hairs arranged in rings, the longest
ones toward the center. They assist ii
lifting in the nectar and in pumping it
into the mouth. Thence it goes to the
honey sack.-ChautauQuan.
