Reeds Smart once Boy.

The late Thomas Bracket Reed was
fond Of telling the following story
regarding the bright little office boy
whom he kept in his employ in Wash
lngton, and for whom he prophesied a
brilliant financial career:
A gentleman calling on Mr.. Reed one
day, while waiting in the reception
room, was attracted by the manner
of the small attendant and started a
random conversation.
"And how much do you earn a week,
my boy?" he inquired.
'F1fty dollars" said the youngster,
with avid;ty.
Being shown into the Senator's pri-
vate office just then the visitors sur
prise found vent in words.
Mighty bright boy you have there,
Mr.. Reed, to be getting $50 week. y
he remarked.
"Fifty nothing" said Mr.. Reed; "he
gets $3.50"
But he told me just now you were
giving him $50 a week." persisted the
gentleman.
Nonsense" said Mr.. Reed, and
touched the bell. "Billy," he said,
"did you tell this gentleman I was
paying you $50 a weekT
mo, sir"
"You didn't? Well, what did you
say?"

come their wits provide them to bear

acquired the subtle art Of putting on
clothes, virtues which the Parislennes
and Viennese have claimed for their
own. Moreover, they are acquiring

acquire at one time-the art of know.
ing when to wear their clothes; In fact,
the suitability of ralment.
1t Is not difficult task to dress be-
comingly with a pretty face and good
figure, but one of the features of our
day is that the modern woman seems
to have the power of making herself
good looking, or, at all events, Of look
ing well.
The art of dressing is to render a
squat figure 1.-the in appearance at all
events, and the over-tall woman of
stature. Unhappily there are more
women who can spend a great deal
of money on dress than know when
and what to wear and how to put on
their clothes. They introduce their
jewelry at the wrong time, and too
much of it. Happily, women are no
longer hung in chains (not the fashion
able ones), but it is more chic to appear
with some antique ornament that goes
with the texture and style Of the gown
than to be blaze of diamonds. Jew
elry, bodice bouquets, ties and such
addenda require more attention often
than the choosing of the dress ITSELF

suffering from peculiar malady. on
the evening of January 20 Chapman,
in company with two other students,
called on friends near the college. On
their return Chapman slipped on the

the base of his spine. He suffered no
immediate affects, and being helped
up by his companions, walked on to
the college. Next day he was uncon-
scious, remaining so for two days. Up
on regaining consciousness his men,

A Wise Old Mouse.
| the Now York Times

From the New York Times.
When we think of mice 1t is usually OF
the trouble they cause us; we are not
apt to credit the rodents with much in
telligence," said a lady at the sewing
crcle but recently had an experience
which shows that the little creatures pos
sess a good bit of wisdom, after all. had
been annoyed some time by a family of
mice which lived In the walls of the bed
room. They nibbled my clothes, dis
turbed my sleep, and when they grew so
bold as to go into the canary's cage and
eat up the seed my patience gave out and
I determined to fix them. / bought
trap and set 1t by the hole in the wall.
For FIVE nights l caught mouse, then
several days passed without catching one
although they were still there, for they
kept up their i.oise, although not coming
into my room any more.
"I found that the trap was alright, but
the hole in the wall had been closed from
inside. I pulled the filling out. 1t was
not easy work, for it had been evidently
put there to stay. and was made or
bits of plaster and rubbish. I kept the
hole open with the trap close to 1t, but
next day 1t was filed again. I repeated
this cleaning out process five times, and
five times the filling was replaced. 1t
was evidently the work of the mother
mouse to prevent her little ones from
passing through what had proved fatal
gate to so many. And 1 left the hole
closed, for the mice did not come into
my room again"

IRRIGATION IN TEXAS.
There Are Now 22e,2o5 Acres Under
System In That State.

Washington, d. c., August 15.-Accord-
ing to a bulletin issued by the census bu-
reau today, there are 226,205 acres of land
under irrigation in the. state Of Texas.
The system includes 1915 miles of canal
and cost s5,191,SI5. The widest applica-
ton of the system has been made in
connection with the rice industries.
The irrigated rice plantations number
557 with an acreage of 1896 In this
connection the report says:
while all the rice systems did not
prove successful in 1902, the failures of
the most part are not without remedy.
Larger experience and better knowledge
of the soil and crop requirements will
try which within a year has grown large
enough to make the Importation of rice
no longer necessary will doubtless ex-
pand until rice will become an important
export"
1t Is also stated that Texas ranks Sec
ond among the states in the utilization OF
underground waters for irrigation. The
development of this source of water sup
ply has been large in the Pan Handle,
the Lano Sstacado, Edwards plateau and
other sections which are without surfl-
cial waters. Flowing wells are being
brought into general use in many parts
of the rice belt. In 1902, $50 wells were
operated to irrigate 20,2l9 acres, The cost
of the plants was S242 1873 and the value
of the irrigated products more than dou-
BILE that amount.

PLANETS THAT STEAL

Saturn they had TO thank for delaying
the comet this extra 100 days.
The same comet appeared again in 1888,
this time late again. Not only had Jupi-
ter delayed it SIS days, and Saturn about
100, but Uranus had also had a hand in
retarding it, and had added another six
ty-nine days to its journey.
Our own earth Is by no means guiltess.
1t is constantly picking up unconsidered
trifles of star dust, which range all the
way from the thirteer-foot long mass Of
meteoric rock lately found by Prof. Ward
in Mexico down to the inflnitesimal par
ticles which are found on the roof of
st. Paul's, on the Arctic SHOWS, and at
the bottom of the deep sea- 1t is caleu-
lated that the total amount of matter
thus absorbed by us is certainly not less
than 100000 tons a year. and that, there
fore, the weight of this world is increas-
ing at that rate every twelve months.
1t appears also that we may he occa-
sionally responsible for the disappear
ance Of poor, unoffendinss comet.
Biela's comet. which went astray, Is sup
posed to have been absorbed by She
earth. That amazing shower of shoot
ing stars which was seen On November
a. 1878, may have been the death throts
of this misty space traveller.

BIRMINGHAM SOLDIER
WRITES OF PHILIPPINES

The following interesting letter was re-
ceived by The Age-Herald from a member
of Company K. Twenty-third U. s. infan-
try. now stationed at Malabang, Mindanao,
Philippine Islands. The writer was a cit
izen of Birmingham before his enlistment
and has many friends here who will be
glad to read of his experiences in distant
land:
We left San Francisco promptly May l.,
on the transport Thames, and sailed by
way of Guam. We had inspection every
day at 1880 o'clock Along with the Twen-
ty-third were two companies of engineers
and a squadron of cavalry and we were
packed like sardines The cavalry and
engineer corps would stand inspection on
the aft part of the ship, while the infan-
try occupied the bow.
+ On May 10 some of the boys were leaning
against the rail on the starboard side, aft
When inspection call sounded cry arose
from the group, MAN overheard" Well,
you can just imagine the excitement. The
crew of foreigners took their time In low
ering the life boats, thinking it was a
drill they were having. After the excite
ment had subsidized and assembly sounded
1t was found that two boys of the en-
gineer corps were those who fell over
board. 1t took the crew thirty minutes to
get to the drowning boys. I must say
that one of them sank Immediately, and
the other swan around around the ship.
Instead of assisting one who was swim
ming for his life, they looked for the other,
who was lost forever. The boy was swim
ming around the ship smiling when
line was thrown to him. Being weak he
could not get hold. He went aft, and
with box In each hand to assist himself.
When the signal was given to back water
the suction, of course, drew him under,
and he never came up again. 1t was
what we called a cold FLOODED murder.
Two life boats were lowered and then
failed to save at least one of the victims.
That evening the obsequies were held on
board, and we all attended. although a
majority Of the boys did not know those
who were lost.
After delaying for at least several hours
we continued on our way to Guam, ar
irving there on the 21st After depositing
mail, commissaries and ordnance stores
there, we left the following day and ar
rived In Manila Bay on the 9th.
We were in Manila Bay two days. as
the cavalry and the engineers corps disem-
parked, and we were ordered to proceed
to Zamboauga, headquarters department
of Mindanao, arriving there on June l.

FIGHT ON BETWEEN LINES.
Mediterranean Line of Dominion Line
Turned Over to White Star.

New York, August 15.-Word was re-
ceved from England today by the White
Star line that the Mediterranean service
of the Dominion line, running from Bos-
ton, had been turned over to the White
Star. Commenting on this the Herald
tomorrow will say:
"That there is to be struggle lasting
indefinitely between the International
Mercantile Marine company and the
Cunard Steamship company is evidenced
by the statement by the latter company
that it would open a Mediterranean
service from Boston. This is met by a
counter statement from the White Star
line that 1t too would have a similar
service from the same port.
THE White Star line now says that it
will take over the Dominion line service,
improve 1t and bring 1t to SO high a
standard that the available Cunard ships
may be outclassed."

Nothing is more certainly written in
the book of fate than that these people
are to be free; nor is it less certain that
the two races, equally free, cannot live in
the same government"
This was the prophecy of Thomas Jeffer-
son. writing in 1921 in the evening Of his
long life. and only five years before his
death. Long since has the first part of the
prediction been fulfilled. 1t came forty
years after he wrote amid the thunders
and lightning of civil war. Since then
another forty years have nearly passed
away, and the nation is face to face with
the question: Can the two races, equally
free. live in the same government?" 1t is
the very greatest problem that confronts
the republic In these opening years Of the
new century, and 1t will require the united
efforts of all the people to find the right
solution of 1t. Politics does not enter into
1t. That day has gone, and in the interest
of both races 1t is well that it should be
so. Republicans and democrats, democrats
and republicans, have now an equal inter
est in formulating the conditions which
shall retrieve whatever errors may have
been committed, and produce policies I'M
der the operation of which social order
shall be conserved and our common CIV
ilization maintained.
The burden of responsibility is largely
upon the south. but the south should not
be left to struggle under it, unaided by
the other sections of the union In which
the evil is less, and, consequently. more
easily dealt with. In the first place the
resources of the southern states are not
adequate to the mighty effort that must
be made to elevate a large percentage of
an unfortunate race, and what Is of more
consequence, so to train the generations
that are coming on the scene, that they
will be a benefit to themselves instead
of menace to society. This is the only
practical thing to be done, and the sooner
a beginning is made the better 1t will be
for the material as well as the moral well
fare of the whole nation. All parts of the
body polite must be put in a sound con-
dition in the interest of the whole. Moral
disease Is not less dangerous than physi-
cal, and prudence prescribes that it is as
much of duty to eradicate the one as the
other.
The question has become a national one
In the eyes of the world we are respon-
sible, as a people, for the evil conditions
that have arisen, and we cannot Justly
complain of the fact. Massachusetts can
not escape odium from outlawry In Missis-
sppi. In the great sisterhood of the states
the concern of one Is the concern of all.
Booker Washington, In his splendid insti-
tuition for the educational and industrial
uplifting of his people, has shown the way
out, the only way that the wit of man
has been yet able to devise. But instead
of one Tuskegee institute in the south,
supported mainly by private endowments
and contributions, there should be one
hundred of them, supported by the nation

BOAT CAN BE MANNED.
Battleship Massachusetts Floats Much
Lighter on the Water.

Bar Harbor, Me-, August 15.-The
battleship Massachusetts, which stove
several holes in her bottom when she
scraped Egg Rock Wednesday, floats
on the water more lightly tonight than
before, having been relieved of I'm
mense quantities of naval stores.
The tug Storm King arrived this
afternoon with two big rotary wreck
ing pumps. These will not be used at
present, as the water already has been
removed from several of the compart-
ments and the holes in the plates have
been temporarily stopped. 1t is not
anticipated that there will be much
difficulty in taking the Massachusetts
to a navy yard after temporary re-
pairs have become completed. 1t Is
expected that she will proceed under
her own steam early next week.
