Rural R.oute Inspector.

Rural Route Inspector Calhoun. who has been in Montgomery County the past week inspecting the rural free delivery mail routes, says the routes are in splen- did condition with the exception of the lack of regulation boxes.
 The carriers, he says. are practically disobeying orders of the postal law by going out of the main route delivering mail at the peoples doors.
 Those who are benefited by these routes are supposed by the Government to do at least as much as provide boxes for the reception of mail. said MT. Calhoun. but the majority do not,
 Asked if the persons on rural routes were subjected in their failure to pro- vide boxes. to having their mail stopped at the postoffice to which 1t came. he said that they we-e, and that according to the order of the Postmaster General the postmaster had no right to send out mail to persons not having boxes.
 He also said that if the majority of the people did not show appreciation as much as to provide regulation boxes the route is liable to be taken from them.
 In the order of the Postmaster General is the following:
 Each person desiring the rural free delivery service must erect at his own cost. and in the manner prescribed by the regulations of the Department, box complying with the following specifca- tions.''
 Following it is the specifications of fl boxes which have been approved by the Government.
 The order reads further:
 ''Each box must be erected by the road side, so that the carrier can easily oh- tain access to 1t without dismounting from his vehicle. The same box must not be used for more than one family. except in the case of near relatives or those residing in the same house.
 Persons negfecting or refusing to com ply with these conditions will be regard ed as not desiring rural free delivery, and the rural carrier will be directed not to serve them"
 Mir. Calhoun says he will report the condition of the routes and if something is not done by the persons residing on them in regard to the box question it is probable that their mail will not be sent out by the carrier.

POPULARITY OF
 UGLY HUSBANDS.

As the result of examining a very ex- tensive collection of portraits of the newly married, obtained from the illus trated papers, the writer has come to the conclusion that the plain man is just now in the heyday of his popularity matrimonially speaking says The Wash ington Times.
 It would seem that while the hand some man is charming, some one whose features are homely. indeed, even ugly, Is regarded as the wiser matrimonial venture
 The wife of the modern Adonis appears to have discovered, in fact, that by her own act she has created a problem that may bring her many hours of uneasiness, If not actual pain.
 Her husband lives upon the approbation of others Her own worship of him may for a while suffice to satisfy him; but later on he will assuredly need that of the outside world. And the outside world is only too pleased to grant him all the admiration he requires. Balls, dinner parties Lpicnics, skating meetings demand his presence constantly. but make no point of his wife being there at all. fact she quickly discerns and approximately resents.
 Should she absent herself from such
  ing himself too agreeable to this pretty woman or that, and should she become a hanger-on of his popularity, she is all the while seething with hatred for her equivocal position.
 Much of the vanity Of the handsome man arises from the indiscreet adoration showered upon him in childhood. As he grows up he Is made much of outside the family circle, because 1t is pleasant to have in a room full of guests as many handsome men as possible. And the sequel? Is 1t not obvious? When he ] fell in love, 1t was not altogether because his choice WAS fair and sweet. but be cause she, too. paid him the tribute of admiration.
 Now, it is all very well to put a man on pedestal and wreathe him with hays before marriage; but what woman wants after marriage is good and serV- iceable article in the way of husband.
 It is always excessively annoying to woman always to have to play second fiddle pianissimo when the beauty ques- ton is uppermost.
 Rreathes there the wife in a house. hold who dislikes some little passing mention made from time to time about her good loks and charming individuality Rut the wife of an Adonis obtains little of this sweet incense.
 Sweep away this picture and contem- plate the companion one of the plain nus hand. His object Is to make life bed of roses for his wife and family un- sel6shly the plain man toils
 The plain husband puts up With things Did ever a handsome one brook the domestic trials the plain one cheer- fully eJYdures?

GRIFFIN REELECTED
CHOSEN AS SECRETARY OF RAIL.
 ROAD COMMISSION.
MT. Sanders Makes Clear His Ideas Regarding His Position as Rail- road Counsel-Little
 Work Done.

Virgil c. Grifin of Montgomery was yesterday reelected Secretary of the Ala bama Railroad Commission.
 The Commission held it's first meeting yesterday since the appointment last week by Governor Jelks of two members of the Commission. With President John V. Smith. the hold-over member, met Col. Wiley c. Tunstall of Hale. who was reappointed, and Hon. W. T. Sanders of Limestone, who was appointed by the Governor to the place formerly held by Judge A. E. Caffee of Birmingham.
 Messrs. Tunstall and Sanders took the oath of office Friday, it being administer ed by Col R. F. Lgon. clerk of the Su- preme Court.
 The Commission yesterday did but lit- tle beyond the formal reorganization Virgil c. Griffin of Montgomery was re- elected Secretary for term of two years. MT. Griffin has been Secretary of the Commission for the past four years and the unanimous election yesterday was an endorsement of his efficiency and value to the work of the Commission. A number of routine matters of minor im- portance were disposed of by the Com mission, but no matters of great impor- tance came up.
 MT. Sanders, the new appointee on the Commission, and who yesterday appeared on the Board for the first time, announc- ed that before assuming his duties he had resigned the place of local counsel for tho Louisville and Nashville Railroad at Athens.
 There had been some discussion as to whether Mir. Sanders could hold a place on the Railroad Commission and at the same time represent a railroad as local counsel. Some lawyers had said that there was nothing in the present law to prevent it. Mir Sanders set this discus sion at rest by resigning his former po- sition before he assumed his new duties.
 He did not share in he construction of the law which would have allowed him to remain his former position with the railroad.
 But regardless of whether this uncer- tainty in the law in reference to this mat ter exists or not" said Mir. Sanders yes- terday, q have had no doubt as to what the proprieties of the situation required, and before entering upon the discharge of the duties of Associate Commissioner I severed my connection as local rail- road counsel.
 My conception of the duties of Rail- road Commissioner is that they are of a judicial nature and in that view of the case I have had no hesitation in deter mining that I could not with propriety become a member of the Commission and appear before the courts as counsel for the road"

BUSINESS WITH DOTS
READERS OF THE ADVERTISER
 ARE MAKING THEM.
One Enthusiastic Problem Solver Declares That He Can Put One Million Dots in the
 Chart.

The Dot Problem of The Advertiser has caused an air of business or busy-ness whichever is most appropriate to call IL; both terms might be applied without mis- representation, as nearly every Adver- tiser reader has one or more members of the family busy with the manufacture of dots while The Advertiser Dot Edi- tor is doing business receiving the charts.
 Many are deeply interested in finding some particular method for drawing the Dots in the chart. thinking that by adopt ing some particular design that great CT number may be made. Others have tried in vain to put in dots so small that after finishing they find that 1t is im- possible for any other person to count them.
 Right here Is where caution should be taken. Great care must be taken that every dot made should be perfectly plain and separate from any other dot as, af- ter your chart has been filed at The Ad- vertiser office 1t must be verified and If found that this is impossible your work will have been in vain.
 Be careful not to make your Dots so small that they will not be perfectly plain.
 Some charts have already reached the Dot Editor that will not be possible to verify owing to their indistinctiveness.
 One enthusiast rushed into The Ad- vertiser counting room yesterday and exclaimed:
 Say, do you fellows think I'm crazy. Don't you know that Dot Editor can new CT count all the dots that are brought in here. Why I can put a million dots in that chart if want to. and if every other one of The Advertisers 100000 read CTS were to do the same thing your Dot Editor would be swamped inside of a week"
 When told that the Dot Editor would have help and an explanation was made as to what method would be employed for verifying the charts. the enthusiast seemed to be satisfied and left the office with the remark that he would bet Q years subscription he would get the first prize if it took a week.

ALABAMA PINE TREES.

For The Advertiser. Down in Alabama, my dear old Southern
 home, Amid the woods and meadows as child
 I used to roam, A hunting for the violets sweet Williams,
 and woodbine And when weary of my rambling I'd
 rest beneath the pine. Oh: woods so full of fragrance! They fill With a memry green and baimy as an
 Alabama May, When through the meads and woodlands,
 flowers gay did ever shine, And l heard the spring wind whisp' ring
 through the Alabama pine. Oh! April woods so lovely, full of dog
 wood pure and white. Wild honeysuckle blossoms-sweet, and
 pink, and bright. Ohl yellow jasmine clinglng-Oh! glowing,
 radiant vine. And oh! monarch of the forest-Grand
 Alabama Pine!
 Fancy sees a brooklet winding slowly
 through the glade While on its pebbly shorelet children's s
 foot steps often strayed. And sloping to the margin where those
 fairy ripples shine Is a grove of fragrant pine trees-sweet
 Alabama pine, In the chilling days of winter, in the
 summer warm and still, When the Spring times radiant fingers
 wake the forest and the hill.
 brings dreaminess divine My heart still hears the moaning of the
 Alabama Pines

Singer Initiates Mrs. Astor .

A certain comic opera soprano in New York Is causing much annoyance to Mrs. John Jacob Astor by initiating that young fashion leader in every way possible In dress, walk, equipage and manner does the stage celebrity show this 'sincere form of flattery." The climax came last week when the woman of fashion added to her stable accoutrements a horse cov- CT of fine seal leather with the Astor crescent wrought inconscpicuously in brass in one corner Everyone waited for the burlesque queen to do likewise. The next time she appeared her horse was covered by the leather trappings.
 But the crest was as big as a saucer.
