ideal, and that's the thing that will stay
with you, but is nothing to elevate you above
your fellow man.
That is the idea. More and more 1t Is
coming to be in this country that man
is accepted for what he is--not what has
happened to him or what has been done to
him. not what his parents We're, not what
sort of formal education he may have
had but for the result, for the actual
man. Mrs Astor leans to the English
conception Of the word gentleman,
which depends largely on the superficial
accessories that usually go with the con-
ception of well-dressed, we'll groomed,
polite man, with some foolish notions
about descent, bank accounts, pride Of
rank etc. The American conception of
the word adheres more closely to its pri-

In his pockets were found the photos of two
children, two locks Of hair and an enselop
addressed to Richard ID. Morse. a lawyer at

his wife had disagreed. Skinner had lived
for the past three months at 221 Twelfth

One result of the session. every one be-
lie yes, will be the candidacy Of j. F. Jacob
son for state auditor. His fight for tax reform
has perhaps hurt him in some localities, but
throughout the state it has made him better
known and stronger than ever He failed to
carry the tax code through, but put his own
bill through the house without the slightest
difficulty, proving his claims to leadership.
It now looks as though the fight for state
auditor would be the principal contest before
the republican state convention.

 Small appetite and poor digestion kept me weak. l had been compelled to rest at the noon hour and shut myself away from all company morning and night. In this way only could I work, up to about year ago. when. lady visiting here from California led me to share a dish of Grape-Nuts with her, During the winter I ate occasionally of the food, always with good results. Last July it was necessary for me to attend the summe" school for teachers. Being poor m purse and sick in body. could not pay the expense of boarding in

 boarded myself Grape-Nuts and cream tasted good and l lived almost eXclusiVe- ly on the food.

MrNERs, CONVENTION BEING
 HELD IN BEssEMER.
Alabama Coal Diggers Decline to Ad- init Tennessee Men to Their Organization = Educational
 Association in Session.

Birmingham. June 17-(Special. )-The miners, scale committee. headed by Adam Pow. of Vivian, has gotten to work in the. annual scale convention of Alabama District No. 20, United Mine Workers of America, which began yesterday in Bessemer, and by tomorrow afternoon or Thursday morning report may be ex- pected. The scale committee is said to be strong one and in the hands of a conservative element. Adam Pow. the chairman, has been a member of the union for years and has been prominent in mining affairs in the State for some time.
 This morning a decision was arrived in the case of the Whitwell and Tracey City. Tenn, miners who desired to be taken into the Alabama organization be- cause the same operators conduct the mines at the places named. The district decided that it would be best not to take in the mining camps mentioned.
 The hours of the convention which will last the entire week, were fixed as fol- lows: From until F, in the mornings and from 1:3o to in the afternoons. 4 The scale committee will receive in structions and suggestions from the vari- ous delegates and will present their re- port back to the convention. The con- vention will then pass upon tnts scaie and it will be submitted to the operators at the conference set for next Monday the 23rd inst. in Birmingham.
 No intimation whatever Is given by the miners as to what will be in the new scale being prepared by the miners. There is belief, however. that there will be disagreement between miners and opera tors and a strike may occure. The miners organization has 1000 members. The statement is made there is some accumulation of coal going on.

 There will be three train loads, thoug this is by no means the entire cargo. Magnesite is kind of fire clay that is procured only in Austria and is used by steel mills in covering the bottom of furnaces in order to protect the brick lining. The initial cost of this clay added to the transportation charges and duty brings the price well up. The steel works import ship load of this semi-annually.
