The colonel stopped his team before
the cabin of an Arkansas squatter to
say to the man sitting on log at the
door;
when was along here a month ago
and asked you how far it was to Col
fax, you said it was twelve miles It's
only nine. Why didn't you say miner
1T was the old woman's fault" re-
piled the squatter. Il wasn't suah
whether it was nine or twelve, and SO
went in and axed her. She reckoned
it was twelve, and | had to reckon the
same or have row. When ! reckoned
as she reckoned, she reckoned that
you'd reckon it was twelve miles nigh
enough, and reckon you reckoned that
way"

TO Cut Glass,

Who ever heard of cutting glass with
a thread? Yet it can be done. Dip the
thread in sulphur and wrap it around
the part of the piece Of glass that you
wish to cut. Then set fire to the thread,
and while it is burning dip it quickly in
cold water, and it will then cut the
glass. This is not only a very curious,
but very useful thing to know.

 He said that 1t should be brought home to all that we are not living for the pres ent. but for the future.
 Tt is our duty.H he said, Ito hand down from generation to generation as an heir loom, free school for a free people. He declared that the hope of the negro was in the best type of the white man. He denied that the negro was mistreated, and said that he was the best treated man. of his age that history had ever known.
 In closing, Governor Montague declared that the cotton of the South would not save. that pig iron would not save, but that salvation lay in the words of Lecky, the great Englishman, '.The foundation of peoples greatness is laid in personal character. commercial integrity. in a high standard of morality, in courage, and in certain soundness of judgment that springs more from character than from intelligence"
 At the conclusion of his address. Gov ernor Montague was repeatedly chered. Governor Montague reached Montgom- cry yesterday morning at Il o'clock. While here he was the guest of MT. and Mrs. 8. B. Marks. Jr., on Madsion Ave- nue. He will leave Montgomery this morning at o'clock for Sheffield, where he will visit his relatives.

Memphis, Tenn. Jan. 29.-(SpeciaD-The Montgomery situation, so far as baseball is concerned, has taken on a new phase, The people will see the game this year. but they will see 1t at Highland Park and played by team the property of R. Semmes, as originally contemplated when the peace agreement between the new and old league was ratified December 1s in Birmingham. At least that is what Caruthers Ewing and Gen. s. T. Carnes say and what they say will have whole lot to do with the matter. MT. Ewing this morning gave outsthe following writ ten statement which he explained covered the position he had decided long ago to take:
 According to the way I look at this Montgomery muddle, there is no muddle and MT. Ragland is in no wise interested in the franchise. l insist that the South ern League made a contract with me, as the representative of the new league, to be awarded to Mir. Semmes. This con- tract was in writing. and no one had . right to alter 1t without my consent do not think the gentlemen of the league will. on consideration. ever claim the right to alter contract with me without my consent
 Consequently will urge on them that this contract has not been carried out and that the entire franchise and privi- leges must be placed in the hands of MT. Semmes. MT. Ragland must not and shall not, if I can prevent it, have anything to do with either the franchise, the team or the park. That I should be solicitor in the hands of Mir. Semmes. 1t must be, or else the contract made at Birmingham has not been kept by the league.
 My reason for wishing to give the fran chise to MT. Semmes Is to protect the Memphis interests, for ne, in a measure, is friendly to us. Last year we felt that we were given the hot end of everything from the opening of the season, because we stood alone, or virtually alone. We had six votes against us at all times and our enemies were able to force us around as they willed. We do not want to have anything like that this season and we do propose to insist that the writ ten contract made with us be carried out to the letter, which simply means the franchise and privileges must be awarded MT. Semmes.
 Chattanooga has not nor has ever had chance to get back in the league, and the men who are sending out the report to the effect that

they have might as we'll change the sub .'Caruthers Ewing.
 MT. Ewing had just arrived from@ New York via Nashville. In Nashville he had long consultation with Newt Fischer to whom he fully explained the way he felt. He says he is forced to assume this stand in order that the interests of Memphis may be protected. He disclaimed any even declaring he cared not who had the franchise so long as he could be as- sured of the proper vote in matters af- fecting the local association. He did not state when the matter would be settled. but 1t will probably rest as 1t is now until the spring meeting of the Southern As sociafton. when the franchise will be made solely to Mir. Semmes, according to the written agreement signed the night Ewing, Judge Kavanaugh and Senator Foster of Shreveport.

 Memphis. Tenn, Jan. 29.-(Special.)- James Palmer. President of the Capital City Athletic Club left Nashville for Montgomery tonight to endeavor to se- lect grounds for the Southern League games at that point and to straighten out the Semmes- Ragiand tangle. He has been selected by Caruthers Ewing and Newt Fisher to whom President Kava- naugh referred the matter.
 Caruthers Ewing tonight denied ru- mor that he had Issued an ultimatum in the Montgomery trouble. but said that General Carnes and the Memphis Club were naturally anxious that the original contract with Semmes be carried out However. this anxiety would not go to the point of preventing a settlement of the trouble.
 The Memphis attorney had talk with Palmer over the long distance telephone and explained his views fully, it is con fidently expected that the Nashville Pres- ident will be able to harmonize the tiif- ferences and that Montgomery will re- main in the League.
