FABLES uP-To-pATE.


There was once a politician who had
| severed some considerable congeaie6~aaua
pura in his time. but finally lot or
| other politicians combined and placed
| the rollers under him and put him out
of the fame. After that he made sew
eral attempts TO get back again, but was
not able TO make il. When he finally
became convinced that IT was useless.
he fell into the habit OF standing around
and roaring continually about the manner
in which the country was being run
After a time it was noticed that his color
was bad and he commenced to fall on
/ in flesh de complained of pains and fuIl-
| ness of Stomach and Indigestion. Ere
quently he would bIoat and swell up
like a poisoned pup. He consulted sew
eral doctors. but they did not seem 70
be able 10 do anything for him. He be-
came yellow and his skin seemed TO hang
! on him like a linen buster on hot
Fourth of July. For awhile he managed
to get up town once a day and let out
a few feeble roars about the way things
were going but finally got so that he
could not leave his bed When this time
arrived he was near the finish and after
lingering a week or two he died. After
his death there was meeting OF the
doctors who had tried their hands and
prescriptions on him and it was decided
TO open him up and find out what had
done him up. When they opened his
stomach they found large compact ball
about the size of one OF the large hair
| balls that are sometimes found in the
stomachs of cattle When the ball was
opened it was found 10 be made up en-
tirely OF shreds OF linen and cotton and
other sorts of cloth. The mystery of the
disease was solved: These were the &C
cumulations resulting from something
over five years of steady chewing of the
rag.
Moral: The man who can't stand defeat
with cheerful spirit had better keep out
of politics.

There was once an inconsta1t young
hen that undertook the job OF hatch
ing a batch of eggs. The first day the
hen staid with her job in pretty fair
shape. she also staid the second day, but
on the third day she said to herself,
This thing is getting mighty monoto-
nous" However. she hung on another
day, but on the fourth day she decided
to get out and swap a bunch of hen
talk with the other hens OF her acquaint-
ance. She had quite pleasant time
chatting with her acquaintance and put
in the whole afternoon that way. AT
night she went back to her nest. but
the following morning she said: There
is no us, of sitting here like a dead one
all the while. These eggs, for anything
can see. were in just as good shape
when I came back last night as when
went away" In this way she put in a
couple Of weeks, visiting round most Of
the time and sitting on her eggs the bal
ance Of the time. It occurred TO her
at the end of two weeks that 1t was
about time for a few chickens to show
up. and she concluded to call in a hen OF
experience and ask her what was the
matter.
After a careful examination the old
hen said: My gay young daughter.
these eggs are spoiled. Several times in
my life 1 have noticed that it takes an
exceedingly smart person to loaf and
work at the same time and make a sue
cess of both jobs"
Moral: If you don't intend to give your
job your attention, you had better let
il out entirely.

A man was the father of a lad who
was fond of experiments. The boy at
tended a circus and menagerie and was
considerably taken with the striped re

that he would go into the zebra business
himself. He therefore trimmed UP the
tails and names Of his fathers five hun
dred dollar driving team and striped the
horses with black paint He was much
interested i'm his work until he happened
to look out OF the barn and saw his an

road a4d happened to remember the old
maxim, BE sure you are right, then go

self, '1s that unless you are sure you

not sure which way to go and was de-
termined to stay by the maxim. he
stopped right there al day. Nobody came
along to give him any information and
he camped there all night. with nothing
to eat and no shelter. The night be-
ing cold he nearly froze to death. About
two hours after day5reak a man came
by and told him that If he had taken
either road it would have brought him to
a house within two miles. But you
remember" said the man who had camp
ed all night on an empty stomach, as
his teeth chartered with cold, that the
old maxim is. be sure you are right be-

A CONSOLIDATION
TWO LUMBER MILLS MERGE IN-
 TO ONE CONCERN.
Montgomery Sash, Door and Blind Works and Alabama Hardwood Go. Consolidate, Capital
 Stock of $50,0OO.

The announcement was made yesterday that on August 1 the interests of the Montgomery Sash Door and Blind works and the. Alabama Hardwood Manufactur- ing Company will be consolidated.
 The new concern will be styled the Montgomery Lumber Manufacturing Com pany, and their location will be at Irma- dale. The Montgomery Sash, Door and Blind Works have built up a splendid bus mess during the past few years at their mills located on Pollard and Lawrence Streets. MT. J. c. Crowson has been the Superintendent in charge. They at last reached the point where their present To- cation was too restricted and additional ground space was necessary. The Ala bama Hardwood Manufacturing Company, J. M Cody. President, has been operat- ing at Irmadale for several years in the western suburbs of the city.
 This action will consolidate two of Mont gomery's leading manufacturing enter prises and 1t is understood that the Mont gomery Lumber Manufacturing Company as the result of the consolidation, will be equipped with additional machinery, en- larged capital, ample quarters and unus- ual trackage facilities, being served by four systems of railway. They will man. ufacture lumber of any and all kinds and supply finished stuff for builders whether pine or hardwood In hardwoods they will; also manufacture certain specialties, such as picker sticks. shuttle blocks, etc., for weaving mills for which they will pur- chase in large quantities hickory, gum, dogwood and persimmon. It has not yet been given out who the officers of the consolidated concern will be. It is under stood that the entire stock of $50OO0 has been taken by Montgomery people and that the enterprise will be strictly home enterprise.

MARION CONFERENCE.
Action Against Inter-C Collegiate
 Sports Rescinded.

Marion, July 20-(Special )-Yesterday, the last day of the Methodist Conference, which was in session four days, was opened with devotional exercises, con ducted by Bishop Candler.
 A motion to reconsider the memorial to the annual conference against inter-col- legiate sports, offered by Rev. J. F. Mo Cam at the beginning of the conference and adopted, was carried. The memorial was then rejected by vote of 19 to D. MT. McCann made a vigorous fight for the memorial, and at first 1t seemed to have smooth sailing, but after a second thought the conference decided that it was best to hands off and leave the que3- ton with the faculty. It will be remem- bered that Mir. McCann wrote a scathing open letter several months ago against interstate college sports which attracted considerable attention the influence of which is evidenced by the fact of the adoption of the memorial and its defeat on consideration by only five votes. He says he is not daunted in the least by the rejection, but proposes to follow his me- moTfal to the annual conference, and feels certain of its success when the facts are put before that body.
 The reports on temperance. Sunday schools and leagues. quarterly confer ence records and missions were read and adopted.
 The report on temperance called atten- tion to the fact that the Methodist Church was unalterably opposed to the drinking of spirituous liquors and their sale in any way.
 The following were granted license to preach: R. R. Ellison, Charles Herbert Webster. Ullman Tuellen Vincent, and the following recommended to the annual conference for deacons orders:H. " Hen derson, R. R. Jones, D. H. McNeal, James Chadwick. For travelling connec- tion, Frank Seay. J. 1T. Holloway, R. R. Jones. R. R. Ellison. Licenses were re- ceived as follows: J. H. Williams, G. N. Williams, James Chadwick, D. II. Mo Neal z. B. Greene. w. J. Conathan, c. T. Martin, D. H.. Mellowen.
 Delegates to the annual conference: T. J. Lawson, w. H. Mason. H. T. Mel len. J. J. Tarry; alternates. E. C. Mere dith, D. z. Kirkland.
 Livingston was selected as the next place for holding the meeting.
 Resolutions were passed thanking the citizens of Marion for their kindness and hospitality.
