and Courier.
In q money sense, said Mr.. Taylor, vegetables are
"wOrth more" TO Mobile than cotton, ''thOugh it is
the king city for cotton" Last year. he explained
zoe, 900 bales Of cotton we're shipped through the
city, and at $50 bale the tOtOl shpmenG represent
ed value Of about $1O 600, 900, This sounds we'll,
but it is to be noted that it does not S1C OOO
600 worth Of "busness' for Mobile. "The fact is
one dollar a bale for Mobile is a big average"
The SO, 100000 worth Of cotton meant about 5000,
600 for the city.
On the other hand, 'the Mobile and Ohio railway
shipped last year $50 carloads Of vegetabes-cab-
bages potatoes, beans This meant about $500, 900
for Mobile, and those who know will say that it is
conservative estimate"
These are the points OF the interview and they
speak for themselves The 500 carloads OF vegeta-
bles paid the city over 30 per cent more than the
200 600 bales OF cotton which implies that that 300
carloads OF vegetables, grown in its neighbOrhOOd
and shipped from it represent more business, and
money, and prosperity, to q city OF town than q
hundred thousand bales Of cotton shipped to and
through it.
The industry Of growing struck" for the general
market is evidently that calls for the respectful
interest and hearty support Of any city, and Of the
railroads which serve it as we'll. The Mobile and
Ohio Railway probably did not get more than 80
cents bale for the 200 900 bales OF cotton il hauled
to Mobile last year. What it got for hauling the
800 carloads Of vegetables is q matter fer specula-
ton, but was probably nearly or quite a. much as
it received for hauling the cettOn. So that the
vegetable business pays the tranpOtati0n companies
also as much as the cotton business. Where there
is no cotton business to speak off, the claims OF the
truck industry, Of course, are much stronger. 1t
should 'pay" cities and railroads everywhere in
this section to encourage and promote the industry
in all possible ways. And It should pay city
especially to develop all the waste lands about it,
il there are any, and do all it do in reason, and
at reasonable expense, to convert such lands into
we'll cultivated and productive truck farms.
The vegetable business of Mobile, said Mr. Tay-
lor, is Zone Of It's most important industries" It
can be made one Of the most important industries Of
any city in the same latitude having favorable rail-
road connections.

parent, says the Kansas City Journal
The Mormon sect was founded by Joseph Smith
and his family about 1880, in the state Of New York.
Smith put forth revelation that the final gathering
place Of the Saints, the name which was sfterward
assumed, was to be in Missouri. In accordance
Herewith, he and his elders set out to the land Of
promise, and arrived at Independence in 1881
where he promulgated new revelation, declaring
that Zion should never be moved from that locality
And there, In theory it has remained ever since
for the piece of ground that Smith dedicated to the
Lord and His saints is still in the possession Of
their church. and there the succeeding generations
Of elders year after year since that early date have
held their conferences. The old log edihce which
Smith erected has been torn down, the wOrshipers
have departed and now hold their services in the
tabernacle, many hundreds Of miles away In Utah,
but the belief still exists that Independence finally
will be the New Jerusalem Of the faith and the
headquarters Of the greatest religion upon the earth
MOrmOnism went through hard trials and tribu-
latiOns in Missouri. There were not many people
10 Independence when it first erected it's standard
there, but they were determined lot, and when, in
1888, they found that they were surrounded By
300 false prophets, as they called them, trouble
began to aIise The editor Of the Evening and
Morning Star, organ Of the 'skings and priests OF
the most high God, /" was mObbed, tarred ieathered
and beaten, for cOndemning slavery and for malign
ing and threatening the gentiles. This only in.
creased the trouble, until condition very much re-
sembling war broke out. The Missourians organ.
lied and adopted resolutions to the effect that not
only should no more MormOns come into the cOun-
try but also those already in should move out with
all their belongings. Then ensued a reign Of law
lessness and disorder. Property was destroyed
people were killed and real battle was fought
The outcome was that in spite Of legislative inquir
les the protection Of the governor and the assistance
Of David R. Atchison and Colonel A. w. DOniphan,
the MOrmOns were forced, by 1888, to abandon
their residences not only in the county, but
throughout the state.
Whether the hopes of the Latter Day Saints aud
the prophecy given out in the revelation will ever
be realized remains yet to be seen. Years have
passed. yet their great temple at Independence the
erection OF which s regarded as one Of their binding
religious duties, is still unbuilt

Plato, who said an old man could not learn any

OF age and did not begin TO teach philosophy until
he was about fifty, and he retained the vigor of all
his faculties to the ripe age of eightytwO and hand
ed down to pOsterity all Of his grandest sayings
after the age Of fifty.
Aristotle continued pupil until he was thirty
seven and he was fity.three before he established
his school OF philosophy at Athens. It was proba-
bly, after this that be wrote his works which gov
erned the logical thought Of the world for so MANY
ages.
Bacon was sixty before he arrived at the full ma.
turity Of his genius. It was then he gave 70 the
world his "Novum Organum," which has recon
structed science and has given an entirely new
method Of scientific investigation
JOhn G. ABBOTT wrote 'HistOry Of the American
Civil War; ct sixty-One, and Romance of Spanish
History" ct sixty. Eve.
Agassiz was fifty nine years Of age when he made
an exploration in Brazil with his wife and scientific
assistants; and the steamer Colorado was made ever

John J, Audubon, distinguished American Orni-
biologist, was fifty years Of age when his first IA

William Cullen Bryant wrote many Of his most
beautiful poems after fifty, and translated the
"Ilad" and the odyssey" at seventy-six.

Another favorite resort of this strange
bird was the police station, whence,
after faVoring the constables with his
company for an hour or two, he would
leave for home on a tram car, like the
independent citizen he was. These
habits and the general friendliness he
displayed toward those who treated
him kindly made the jackdaw an i'm
mense favorite in the neighborhood,
and the news of his sudden death
brought great sorrow to his master
and mistress, as well as to his many
admirers. At home Jack led a very
systematic life. First and foremost
he was the confidant and personal
friend Of his owner, whom he followed
about the house and regarded with re-
markable fidelity. An original genius.
Jack scorned the roosting places of
ordinary members of his species, and
chose as his perch the neck of a wine
bottle resting In a basket on the bar
counter. Settled here at bed time, he
sleepily said Good night" in his own
bird language to his master, but he
was the first up In the morning, and
signiled the same by regularly rap
ping at Mr.. Becks bedroom door. Hav-
ing superintended his masters Tubing
operations. Jack invariably hoped
down to the bar, and standing in the
DdHlH the water TAP, WdlIcQ
he received a refreshing shower. This
was his daily bath, which he never
neglected.
AT the time of his death Jack was
melting, and the day before he died he
took two baths, the suggestion being
that he was trying to alleviate the
tiresome irritation which accompanied
his annual feather shedding. Whether
this had anything to do with his death
is not known, but the next morning
Jack was found dead underneath. his
extemporized perch. This sharp wit
ted jackdaw, who was friendly with
all who behaved properly toward him,
never forgot foe, and would unerr-
ingly recognize and attack persons
who had i'll treated him. He was a.
clever trickster and a joke he some
times enjoyed was flying off with the
small change of unobservant custom
ers. Still, he never made an enemy
Jack will be stuffed and be represented
as perching on the bottle, his grasp
of which he relinqmshed when death
took him.
