Little Demand for RoOsevelt's Pho


a Washington photographer who
makes a speciality of the portraits of
President Roosevelt is authority for
the somewhat surprising statement
that the photographs of Mr.. Roose-
welt do not sell. There is no demand
for them,'' said the photographer. Il
can't tell why, but no one seems to
want them. | had laid in a large
stock of various photos of the presi-
dent, anticipating the liveliest sort of
"a demand. They are still on hand.
tried to work them off by sending out
several thousand circulars to people
thought would be interested in the
president. We didn't sell enough to
pay for the postage of the circulars.
When Mckinley was president we sold
20 of his photographs where we now
sell one of Roosevelt. Photographs
of Mckinley still outsen those Of
Roosevelt
The photographer did not think the
Roosevelt photographs fail to go be-
cause the president is unpopular. The
only explanation he could think of it
that the class of people who buy the
photographs of presidents to put
in their parlors were in love with
Mckinley. and don't care much about
Roosevelt. As a rule people who buy
portraits of President Mckinley are
the ones who keep God Bless Our
Home over the door of the parlor, a
big family bible on the parlor table
and pictures of Washington and Lin
coin on the parlor walls. Probably
Mr. Roosevelt is too sporty to be Il
prime favorite with this class of peo-
pie.

 Though as vet no definite steps have been taken for the formation of q team to represent Selma in the proposed SIX team League including Montgomery, Mo- bile and other cities. there has been much baseball talk on the streets today and present conditions indicate that a League team would have ample support here.
 A number of enthusiasts are quietly making a canvass of the town to find out exactly what can be done in the matter and from what has so far been learned there will he little difficulty eX- perlenCed Tn tndlng sufficient capital to maintain a creditabe representation.
 Among those who are taking an active interest in attempting to secure a fran chise in the League for Selma Is Lewis Hubbard and it IS probable that he will meet J. B. Timberlake of Montgomery, and other League officials in Pensacola Sunday. but Mir. Hubbard said this morning that he had made no definite plans about baseball and was not at all decided whether or not he would assume any responsibility, financial or otherwise. Col. r, M. Abbott, President of the Selma Street Railway Company, has promised to provide d park with good street car accommodations if the team is entered into the League and this in ducement will doubtless he of weight in the ultimate plans of local baseball mag mates.

 Address

Marion, March 27.-(Special. )-Before large and appreciative audience, Dr. F.. o. Lovett of Princeton University. de- livered an able address last evening in the Chapel of the Marion Military lnsti- ute on Current Problems of the Amer ican College
 Speaking of the long standing problem of the classics. he said: T desire to en- ter most emphatic protest against the wholesale slaughtering of this ultra-crt- ical age. Are we willing to trade only with the small coin of our, mining and minttng, while holding in our hands the keys to the vaults and rich storehouses of the past? Will we not avail ourselves of it's literature as a record of the hu- man spirit of its science Gs an account of the struggles of the human intellect 10 explain the phenomena of nature. of it's philosophy as a scroll of the striv- ings of tho human heart after God of the history of it's political institutions as 4 tentative to the science of society?
 Speaking of the part of the South III college education. the distinguished speaker said: Among the clements of American educational systems that we owe to the South. ] may mention the elective system in collegiate education, the publlc school Idea in popular educa- tiOn the importance of individual instruc- ton ds exhibited in the private schools, tutors and gOVernesses of the old regime, the honor system and principle or sell government in the administration or
 
 organization of the American college. the man who. l believe. holds the key to the situation is a man of Southern birth
 In conclusion Dr. LoVctt said of the college: .''rhese have been the charac- tcristics of tho life of the small college in the country town. whose crnwning glory has been d broad and generous re- ngious tone and spirit. Here have men been made both spiritually and intellec- tually free' Here have men found sound scholarship and forged solid character. Here have men pursued truth and rev erenced duty. Here have the youth of thls Southland developed depth and sin certty. reared enduring ideals, grounded faith in themselves their fellows and hu- man destiny, not namby-pa mhy senti- mental faith but the Virilc robust faith that buildeth In tho cedars tops and daiIies with the wind and scorns the sum here have they learned to the very core of their souls that wherever We work for beauty or health, or purity or strength. or Knowledge or freedom, or aught else that makes for completeness of life" and the growth of the human spirit. we work with God and for God.

 In the springtime able and experienced phl sicians urge upon those who are sub feet to hcadOches. the use of Paine s Celery Compound. In tens of thousands of cases this wonderful remedy has pro- duced happy and permanent results after all other modes of treatment failed. Un- like other medicines claiming popular at tcntlon, Paine's Celery Compound gives prompt and effective results. It gives to weak and sick people an immediate sup ply of nerve force, with pure blood. ac- tive liver and perfect digestive vigor The work of Paine's Celery Compound is not a simple relieving of pain; it effec- tuaIIy reaches the root and causes of disease and permanently banishes the trouble. Mrs Darley, Franklin, Ill.,, says:
 After trying in vain several remedies for headache. I began using Paine's Celery Compound. This great medicine not only cured me, but it built up my system and made me feel like q new wo- man. It is the only medicine we keep in the house.
 Mrs Benjamin Perry of North Aurc- Illus. Mich., says
 "Paines Celery Compound is the best medicine on earth. Three years ago I was taken with inflammation of the bladder and nervous prostration. and was very sick. under the doctors care. and they all thought I could not live.
 "I was so sick I could not help myself, and hardly sat up long enough to have my bed made; but heard of Paine's Gel cry Compound and commenced taking it, and I can say today that It has helped me so much that I am doing my own work. something never expected to do. do not think I would be alive today if it had not been for the use of Paine's Celery Compound"

EUGENE CELEBRATES
 FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY
(BY MRS. J. M.

The following account of the celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of the wedding day of Empress Eugenie and Napoleon the Third is from a letter of Marpuise ue Fontenoy:
 Empress Eusenie has just been cele- brating the flftieth anniversary of her W edding, and spent the day at Paris, most of the time gazing out from the window of her hotel upon the gardens of the Tuileries, which was her home for seventeen years. One can imagine all the memories that must have recurred to her as she sat there and gaZed memories both sad and gay, memories in particli- lar of a sovereignty that in one sense of the word was unique. For she remains on record as the only Queen or Empress who had ever been the arbiter and ac- knowledged leader of feminine fashions. Although not of royal birth, her sover- eighty in this respect was undsputed even by the womanknd of the bitterest foes of the Napoleonic regime.
 When she lost her throne she likewise forfeited her sceptre of feminine ele- gance. She ceased to be the ruler of fashion from the moment when she left France after the Battle of Sedan. But as an exile. and more particularly as ldAely widow, she obtained what she had never enjoyed during her occupancy of the French throne, namely, the warm friendship and regard of her sister Queens and Expresses of Europe who had. with the single exception of Queen Victoria, declined to look upon her as one of themselves, and as a member of their caste until she lost her crown.
 Tt must have proved compensation, especially to a woman of mature years, and one is sometimes tempted to ask whether the existence of Eugenie today is not one of greater contentment than when she queened it at the Tuileries. At any rate, it is an existence of infinitely superior dignity. For it commands the respect and the sympathy of all"
