SHE IS STILL MISSING.
Nothing Ess Been Heard of Miss
 Ethell Rovelle.

Birmingham, Ala, Dec. 30.--A special to Tho News from Meridian, Miss. says that no trace has been found of Miss Ethel RovelIe, the missing heress to estate of eight mill liop dollars left to her by the death of an aunt in Colorado.
 She disappeared from Meridian a week ago today and her relatives both at that place and in Birmingham now fear that she has been kidnapped and is being held for ransom.
 Tho special from Meridian adds that 1t has been learned that Miss Rovelle has been shad- owed by unknown parties ever since 1t be- came known that she had become an heiress. This strengthens the belief of the family here that she has been kidnapped. Mrs. T. J. Reyn- olds, mother of the missing woman, who re- sides at Kingston. suburb of Birmingham, said today that she would not make public tho will until her daughter had been found She is prostrated with grief over Miss Ro. velles strange disappearance.
 With regard to the possibility of her daugh- ter having gone to New Orleans to spend the holidays. Mrs Reynolds said that she con templated making such & trip day or two be- fore Christmas with her uncle and aunt Mr. and Mrs Husky of Meridian, but the fact that these relatives did not accompany her and the further fact that she had very few &C., quaintances in Meridian leads to the belief that she did not go away on holiday journey.

READY TO BEGIN CONFLICT.
Russia's Reply Must be Satisfactory
 to Japanese Government.

Washington. Dec. SO-with war star ing his country in the face. Mir. Takahira, the Japanese Minister, was AS calm as any one in Washington as he sat at his desk at late hour preparing dispatches for transmission to TolIio, and talked to
 a reporter of the Associated Press on the
 Far Eastern crisis.
 Having called at the State Department and informed the officials of the gravity the. situation. Minister Takahira said to- night that he with the other officials of
 the foreign service were awaiting the an- swer of Russia to Japan's last note before making a second communication to the powers. In conversation with the Asso- ciated Press reporter, Mf. Takahira said: ''I wish the American people to know that their many expressions of sympathy for my country in the present crisis have been promptly communicated to Tokio, and I can give the strongest assurances l that the Japanese Government and the Japanese people profoundly appreciate
 this renewed evidence of the friendship of the United States. At a time like this
 it would be inexpedient to discuss nego- tlations of such worldwide importance as is now progressing at Tokio. You ask me If I think war is inevitable. I can
 only say that Japan is awaiting the ar
 rival of the Russian reply to her last note.''
 Japan will wait as long as circum- stances seem to justify, but no longer. We have been prompt in all our proposi- tions or counter propositions and in fact in all our negotiations with Russia. In our last note we have stated the minl- mum proposition on which we can sub init to Russia. That country has the de- ciding vote whether there is to be peace in the Far East We have done all that we could'
 Mir. Takahira expressed the hopo that war may yet be averted, but he regards the outlook as gloomy and further stated that Japan, while not placing time limit on Russia's reply, urged in her late note that the St. Petersburg government send a definite answer at the earliest possible moment.
 An indefinite answer will be regarded as wholly unsatisfactory.

Hold up Market Are Futile,
 New Orleans, Dec. 30.-The ring at the cotton exchange was surrounded by a crowded mass of struggling brokers all day long. The opening was wild but the confusion grew even greater as the day advanced. The bulls fought desperately put the heaviest support they could give the market could not keep prices up against the irresistible tide of liquidation by weak longs.
 The leading bulls bought heavily during tine middle of the day, but purchases of 900 bales at time did not hold the mar ket ID. Soon after Eoon a. war rumor was spread among the traders at the ring and the confusion became indescribable.
 The stout oaken ring about which trad ing in contracts is carried on fairly trem- bled as brokers hurled themselves against it or were forced against 1t by the mass of brokers that crowded around 1t ten deep.
 The fierce eagerness to sell at any price caused values to tumble five points at a time Outside of the exchange a curious crowd of people thronged Gravier Street and Varieties Alley and the frantic yells of the traders could be heard for blocks.

Mir Marshall is. likewise the architect of the Nixon Theater in this city. He was overwhelmed by the news of the disaster.
 "Ill never allow another theater to be built with a stick of wood in it," he de- clared, reading the bulletins which were handed him. The IFoquois was built along the very latest lines and was pro- vided with 27 double fire exits but wood was used and stairways were employed. A fire proof building will not be erected as long as wood Is used.

And she sighed to be loved as he loved her of

To be loved as she is to be chcrished-alas,
How our idols are broken, how soon the

For him that so loved her; in many glad ways

She fattercd him fondly; she watched with
glad eyes
To see him approaching. to greet him at

She brought his cigar and gave him light:
When he made Il mistake the wisest may
1t WAS never his fault that she told him she
knew.
She was satisfied just he was; she would
not
Have him changed by the very least title or

That no woman can scold love into man.

The Nervous Bite.

French physicians who have made a
study of the habit of biting ones finger
nails or gnawing pencils and pcnholders
say that these are really nervous dis
orders. hereditary in some cases and
often contagious by example.
They have even figured out what NAL
aides come from the different forms of
the biting habit. Onchyophagy-that's
the stage name of nail biting-causcs in
tcstinal disorders. Penholder gnawers
seem especially liable to appendicitis.
Gnawing hair is mostly confined to the
lower animals, but many tumors in
human beings have consisted entirely of
hair and wood, hairy ball weighing
about a pound having been taken from

Thread eating, to which little attention
has been given, has been noticed in a girl
of eighteen to the extent of eating a third
