Governor jerks AFlyes His Sig
nature to the Measure,
WILL APPOINT TEACHERS
Great Care VIII Be Used In Selecting
Persons to Occupy Positions on the
commssion-Gave Governor
Jelks Much Pleasure.

Montgomery March 4-(Special.) THE
Johnston textbook bill is now law. Gov
ernor Jelks affixed his signature to the
bill this morning, after carefully reading
it's provisions. 1t is doubtful If the signing
of any other measure has afforded the
governor as much pleasure as the Sign
ing of the textbook bill His interest in
the measure was shown when he made 1t
the subject of a special message to the
legislature. In this measure he took strong
ground for the bill, and there can be but
little doubt that this message greatly aid
ed in having the bill pressed through
before the recess.
The governor will not long delay the ap-
pointment of the two commissioners pro-
vided for In the new law. Il expect to
name them just as soon as I can find the
proper men for the position" he said this
afternoon.
Teachers to Be Selected.
All of the members of both commissions
are to come from among the teachers in
the state. Three are to serve with the
governor and superintendent of education
on the main commission, and contract for
the books. The sub-commssion Is to he
composed of five members, and they will
pass upon and grade all books submitted.
This commission may sit for thirty days,
drawing 81 per diem. The members of the
first commission, except the governor and
superintendent of education, also draw
81 per diem.
Much Care In Appointments.
1t may be safely asserted that the gov
ernor will use all due care to appoint
commissions that will use their best eff
forts to protect the interests of the pub
lie. The governor also signed the general
revenue bill today.
The office of the secretary of state is
perhaps the busiest one just now the
work of copying for the printers all of
the laws enacted by the last session,
keeping a good force of copyists at work.

DOWIE IN A FRENZY,

When Mr.. Dowie opened his meeting
last night in Madison Square Garden,
New York, he faced an immense throngs
when he closed it his audience had
dwindied to only q few hundred persons
besides the Ghost he brought with him
from the West. He fretted, fumed,
threatened, cajoled, and finally resorted
to the use of epithets, his hearers mean
while leaving the meeting, several hun
dred together, drowning the sound OF
bis voice. He had announced that last
night he would tell how it was revealed
to him that he was "Elijah," and also
that he would have something to say to
the newspapers and their reporters. His
talk, which was interpreted with several
hymns, at times when the tramp of those
leaving the hall was more than his voice
could overcome, was devoted chiefly to
denunciation of tohareo smokers, liquor

demonstration, he shouted: "We come

will get your hearts, and then | will get
your pocketbooks. There is nothing
so joyful as spending money for the
Lord" he continued. 'They say

do not deny the soft impeachment" !"
He said the story that his wife lost a
81, 500 diamond pin was untrue, as she
never owned pin like that, nor had
she lost anything. The tales printed
about his people being hungry were all
lies, he said. He had '1icked' the
press of Chicago, he shouted, and he
would click" the press Of New York.
He would lick these "yultures. Fin
ally he came to the promised story OF
revelation. He quoted Scripture to
show that Elijah was 10 come third
time. A minister had told him that ne
was Elijah, but he was loath 70 believe
it, but finally after going over the situ-
alton carefully, be made up his mind
that he was truly Elijah. Then at the
opening of building in Zion two years
ago he had proclaimed himself Elijah,
we'll knowing the fearful responsibility
of the restoration that he must as Elijah
lead. In his address at the noon meet
ing, DIR. Dowie alluded to some clergy
men as "mean dogs" and others whose
criticisms of him had been published in
the newspapers he said were working
for the devil"

About 500 A. d. Persian monks first
brought silkworm eggs concealed in
the head of hollow staff to Constan-
tinople. Thence silk culture spread in
to Greece. a little later conquest car
ried it to Sicily. From there to Italy
it was but step. Soil, climate, peo-
pie suited it. The industry took root,
grew, throve and continues to this day.
The thrifty peasant manages to get
silk and oil and wine from the same
small holding. First he plants his null
berry trees, sixteen feet each way;
next he prunes the heads into a hollow
cup and trains his vines all over them,
and finally around the edge he sets u
shelter of olive trees. So all seasons
bring him labor and the reward of it.

e.arry-rayed. an da heart of gold,
Looking up to the sky,
lifted face to the sun and rain,
A smile to the passer-by;
Wayside warder, sentinel flower,
What Is your password-say?
You know the seasons, you tell the hour.
And you hold a title. in sun and shower
To a simple right-of-way.
You have sisters inside the garden wall.
Tended with human care;
They grow up graceful and fair and taH.
But naught of your freedom share.
Their beauty Is hid from the vulgar gaze,
They pine in a willing ease.
But you-you are light OF the lowly ways,
You shine on the common. you star the
braes;
Boon-comrade OF the breeze.
A lifted face to the rain and sun,
Eyes moist with the morning dew.
A nod and a smile for every one.
And the Joy of living for you.
Starry-rayed, and heart OF gold,
Planted by Gods own hand;
Too poor you are to be bought or sold,
Too free to forsake the heathy void;

A Test of Reanement.

The truest test of refinement is a
uniform regard for the welfare and
interests and feelings of others. There
is refinement which is by education,
but in each case. the sure indications
of refinement are the same. You eau
recognize the difference between those
who have and those who lack refine
ment by their bearing in "A crowd. In
deed this difference is easier perceived
in street car or in a market or in a
thronged highway than in a drawing
room. A person of true refinement
takes up the less room and claims the
less concession and is reader to yield
position than an unrefined person. The
way in which man carries cane or
umbrella in crowd settles the ques-
ton in his case. And again the keeping
of ones market basket in the way, or
out of it, as at the busiest market hour,
is an infallible test of the bearers i'll
ner grain. And so in many other minor
matters.-Philadelphia Ledger.
