full In any Of these states is question,
II the states possess Gil McDume,
as does North Carolina, who, it il
said, only short time since killed
seven turkeys at one shot. 1t Is
claimed that McDuffie has killed $500
wild turkeys and 700 deer in his time,
besides countless numbers OF smaller
game. The way he makes his war on
turkeys ia by batting" He finds
where flock of turkeys use and he
lays train Of corn to q locality where
he can arrange a good blind. The
blind is made and corn is put out In
good quantity for the turkeys not far
away, he being careful to place the
corn in such shape that when the tur-
keys feed upon 1t they will be well
punched. He then secretes himself In
his blind and lies in wait for the
turkeys. When they come and get
punched up over the quart or two Of
corn, he turns loose with a shotgun,
and the slaughter is tremendous.

Dodo, two poodles that had held the
reputation of being polished members
Of the canine swell set. Throughout
the banquet the pariah was dignified,
while the poodles INDUCED in series
Of infractions of the table code that
eventually wound up in fight over
the possession of turkey drumstick
and led to their Punishment from the
board They chewed their napkins,
they barked VIXEN the meat course
was brought on, they danced on the
table and Tapped water audibly from
the finger bowls, while Fags adhered
strictly to the conventionalities.
Two tables were spread for the cats
and dogs and two turkeys and a loaf
of bread formed the viands. The cats
were fed early in the afternoon and
in the presence of an admiring throng
of spectators sat demurely on their
stools and te the slices of white meat
as they ware served. The cats feast
passed o. without disturbance and
the felins contingent, after few
vocal SOLD and choruses, was re-
turned to tie wire cages without a
scratch being inflicted.
The trouble began when Bob White.
the custodian, led the dogs to their
seats. Most Of them were refractory
and had to be led to their chairs be-
fore they would keep their seats. After
they had been arranged a Spitz ter
rier bit his neighbor in the ear and
the banquet was delayed for ten min
utes before the Spitz was sent back in
disgrace to his cage.

newcomer Fags, on account of his
looks, but after bath the dog looked
better and was allowed to sit at the

have been inmates of the institution
for a week, sat on his right. while a

Had Reasons for Her Stand.

The Empress Augusta Of Germany
grandmother Of the second-to-none,
had an intense dislike to being photo
graphed, and considered that the por
traits of great royal personages
should not be cheapened and scatter
ed broadcast over the land. Her ma
jesty's opinion on the subject may
have been Influenced by the fact that
she had ceased to be a beauty when
the common sun-picture came into
vogue, and that it could only have
represented her as an elderly lady ia
whom time had been unkind, and
whose makeup had ceased to be sue
cessful.

THE LOVE THAT CAN WAIT.

IoY coMGo. THOUGH LATE, TO
THE LOVE THAT CAN WAIT.
BY Clara A. Porter, Kansas City. Kan
As her lover took the flower.
As the twilight shadows gathered
Ger the valley and the hill.
And the quiet little village
That is called Torontorville.
was passing by cottage,
Which the wooSbine covered Ger,
While the roses hung in clusters
On a bush Just by the door.
AS / passed, q sweetfaced maiden,
That beside the bush did stand,
Picked rose and gently placed II
In her smiling lovers hand.
This one act gained my attention,
So | listened in the shade
For I'd been the Tilted lover
OF a brown-eyed little maid.
With an upturned face she whispered,
AS her loved took the flower,
This shall be my seal of promise
That I'll love you every hour.
You have won my heart completely,
But would not tell you so,
For | wanted to be sure il
You would e'er prove false and go
Twas your words that made me tell
you,
And il | have caused you pain,
Pray forgive me and I'll never
Try to do the like again.
At these words he drew her to him.
Kissed her hand most tenderly-
And his arm he placed about her
In fit of ecstacy.
From his eyes there beamed the radi
OF true. devoted love,
As he told her how he'd suffered
While she tried his love to prove.
Il have heard" he said so proudly,
That the Joy will come, though
late
Just to fondly love and wait.
Long I've loved you with such pas.
sion,
That my uppermost desire $751;.
Was to win from you one token
OF affections hidden fire.
But you seemed to be Indifferent,
Till l vowed that l would wait.
Now, at last, I've been rewarded
Yes, rewarded by kind Fate
Let me hear the words repeated,
I will love you every hour
While | hold aloft as witness,
This one fragrant little flower
Il will love you always, darling,''
Spoke the maiden earnestly,
l will trust you for protection,
Over all life's rugged sea.
Ever more I'll try to please you; /.
Evermore l will be true;
And though you have long been wait
ing,

Happiness cannot describe it
What was seen there in each face,
Joy and love, and true devotion,
On their features left trace ---a.
l could listen there no longer,
For my heart began to pine
For my brown-eyed little maiden,
Who seemed happy all the time.
Will she ever learn to love me?
Must ever. always, wait? +'
Will the JOY that am seeking
Come, at last, though very late?
Yes, I'll wait, as did this lover,
And, should heaven be so kind.
Some day she will say, 81 love you,"
Then unbounded joy I'll find.

GRAND JURY WANTS

 Solicitors Impeachment
INCOMPE TENCY IS CHARGED
cuIIman County Jury Sympsthizes With MT. Lowe In Ills Affilctlon, But Think Ills Removal
 to States Interest.

Cullman, March 27.-(Special. .)-The grand jury, which has been in session here for the past ten days, on its report made public today rec commended the im- peachment of Hon. R. H. Lowe, solicitor of this circuit
 Following Is an extract from the grand jury report:
 We desire to report and recommend that from information which we consider reliable 1t is generally known that Hon. R. H. Lowe, who is at present holding the office of circuit solicitor of the eighth judicial circuit since his election has teen incompetent % fill said office. and the fees that should go to the state to help pay his salary have been paid to so- Iicitors pro tenn, who have discharged the duties of the office of solicitor at the diff ferent courts in this circuit. and while we are in sympathy with MT. Lowe in his afflictions, we believe that the public interest demands that he be impeached. We therefore recommend that the Hon. cial circuit of Alabama, be impeached for incompetency and neglect of duty.
 The sentiment here Is that Mir. Lowe will be impeached. If there IS an aspirant in this city for the position the fact has not been ma 1e known.
 Out of thirty-four true bills found by the grand jury, seventeen were against the different saloon men of this city.

GOV. JELKS AFTER
 PIKE LYNCHERS
Making Thorough Investigation
 of the Recent Hanging
TO TAKE VIGOROUS ACTION
Negro Was Dead and Burned Before Information of the Affair Reached the SherifFs office-Gov-
 ernor Writing Letters.

Montgomery, March 27.-(SpeciaD--Gov- ernor Jelks is making a thorough inves- tigation of the recent Pike county lynch ing, and when he has all the facts in hand 1t is expected that he will take vigorous action.
 This Is the second ly11ching that has occurred in Alabama since Governor Jelks assumed the duties of the office of chief executive and in the former case he offered rewards for the arrest and conviction of the ''unknown persons" with the result that several of the par ticipants are now serving terms in the penitentiary. So far the Governor has not offered rewards for the Pike county lynchers, but he is in communication with the sheriff and solicitor, and when full infof nation is obtained an attempt will be made to bring the guilty persons to justice.
 A letter from Sheriff Reeves of Pike in answer to one from the Governor calling for a report in the case contradicts the statement that the negro was taken from the sheriff by the mob. The lynching oc- cured in the country several miles from Troy, which Is the county seat, and the negro was dead and buried" before in- formation of the affair reached the sher- frs office. Sheriff Reeves is known as one of the brayest officials in the State, and no one who knows the official be- lieves that he would surrender prisoner to a mob without resistance.

THE SOUTH.
From John H. klrby's Address Before the New Orleans Progressive Union, March 3. 1902.

'We want eastern and northern capital to help us develop the natural resources of this portion of the south, but we want home people, not only to manage these great hives of industry but to put their own money at risk in the success or fail- use of the effort. There fs a great journal in New York, a daily newspaper devoted to disseminating news of a strictly re- liable character, regarding the daily busi- ness of the people and the resources of the country The south Is well represented in it's columns, but rarely see New Orleans there. It is probably more carefully read than any other paper in New York. At the Waldorf you must apply to the news stand before breakfast to get copy of this paper. It Is in great demand. It Is the only paper in New York or in any other city of this country that gives any prominence to southern business inter- ests. All other journals deal in sensation alism, and if an item appears in their columns about us it is in most instances something to our discredit. I need hardly tell you that I refer to the New York Commercial. would advise you to get in touch with it. and have its columns teeming with your resources and match less opportunities. It is read by the very people you wish to reach, for tell you that the south wants the money of the north and east. We want more Yankees and richer Yankees interested in our in- dustrial progress. The way to get them is to let them know what you have and that whatever financial interest they take in your enterprise will be as sacredly and faithfully protected and guarded as you will protect and guard your own"

 In answer to an interrogation from MT. Hill of Illinois MT Richardson stated Christmas report was dated October l, 1901. MT Cannon declared that he had never heard of Christmas until today but according to his own belief he was brib- CT and worse. But he was accredited by the secretary of state, interposed MT. Richardson, and instructed to go to our minister in London.
 Made Him an Agent.
 'The gentleman artfully gays the Sec retary of State made this man his agent" cried MT. Cannon indignantly '1 know nothing about it. If anything ought to be investigated l am for any investiga- tion. I am not in favor of proceeding upon the extracts the gentleman has read. Let the documents be printed in full. No one will be more swift than I to investi- gate charges affecting Federal officials and members of the American Congress" But these charges were printed in Den mark and were known here from January 28 to February IT," interposed MT.

Does the gentleman not think the Secretary of State should have called the attention of the Senate to the charges that was DelnB spent bring about a successful termination of the negotiations?"
 ''I do not know anything about it." said Mir. Cannon warmly, and until I do l will say nothing more about it that would dishonor anyone I demand a vote.''
 "I am not seeking to dishonor anyone. I am seeking to prevent dishonor," re- piled Mr. Richardson
 '"The gentleman fails to have the House examine the document before it votes," retorted Mir. Cannon.
 Wanted 1t Read.
 "-I am not" insisted MT. Richardson. '"rhat is really what desire. ask unan- imous consent now that this report be read in full from the clerks desk"
 But MT. Cannon objected, being sus- tained by half a dozen other Republi- cans.
 The speaker then put the question of Mir. Cannons motion to postpone.
 The Republicans generally voted for the motion. but a chorus of noes came from the Democratic side, and the speak CT announced that the noes seemed to have it.

 The resolutions were then perfected by
