How general Joe" pwIndIed.

Everybody knows General Joe
Wheeler, former Lieutenant General
C.S.A., at present Major General of
the United States army (retired), and
between times representative in con-
gress from Alabama, is man Of quail,
ity rather than of quantity, and one
seeing him can scarcely understand
how so small body has been able to
fill so much space in the worlds his
tory of achievement, says the New
York Times.
One day during his congressional
career two rural visitors were in the
house gallery taking in the proceed
ings on the floor with great interest,"
and one of them observed the gen.
eral flying about, as was his wont.

asked of his companion.

ALUM, FLINT AND
SULPHURIC ACID.

Il is reported that in many localities
houses are infested by peddlers trying
to sell or introduce so-called cheap"
or low-priced baking powders, either
directly or by an order upon grocer.
In most instances deception is used,
and it is claimed that the article Is
genuine baking powder and has all the
merits of pure article.
Housekeepers should be on their
guard against this danger to their food.
Alum powders are almost always low
priced But they are well known to be
detrimental to health. In England and
in some sections of this country their
sale is prohibited by law. Congress
has forbidden the sale of food contain
ing alum in the District of Columbia.
The highest authorities condemn their
use. DR.. 6. w. Johnson, for instance,
Professor of Chemistry at Yale Col
lege, says: Bread made with bak-
ing powder containing alum must
yield a soluble alumina salt with the
gastric juice, and must, therefore, act
as poison"
1t is well known that these so-called
Cheap" goods are made from alum or
the very cheapest materials. One OF
them was recently analysed at Yale
College and found to be one-qusrter
sharp pointed grains Of ground filntI
Others are filled with sulphuric acid,
and salts Of lead are also found in
them.
In baking powders be sure to get a
reputable well-known cream of tartar
brand, and never buy from peddlers.

Who Licked Great Britain,

Senator Aldrich, of Rhode Island,
visited a typical music hall, the last
time he was abroad, says the New
York Tribune. A one-act melodrama
called ''The British Heart of Oak"
was played by seven men and a young
woman. The time of. the melodrama
was laid in the early years of the last
century, and four of the players rep-
resented American soldiers. !
These American soldiers were a
ragged, scarecrow lot, for it was the
idea of the melodrama to ridicule the
American army. AS the men came on
the stage they were put through an
examination.
What was your business before you
became a soldier?" they would be
asked, and to this question, one an.
swered that he had been a tailor,
another that he had been a cobbler,
and third that he had been a cook,
and so on.
The audience laughed uproariously
at an army composed of men from
such sedentary and combining trades,
but in the midst of the laughter Sen
ator Aldrich's American heart was re-
joiced to hear voice shout from the
gallery:
Murray! Great Britain licked by
tailors, cobblers. and cooks! Hur-
ray!"

PROTEST FROM COLOMBIA.
The Colombian Authorities Cable a
Lengthy Protest to London.
Wish 1t to BE KNOWN throughout
the World That the United States
Has Infringed Treaty of 1916.

London, Nov. 1.-THE Colombian
authorities have cabled to London
lengthy protest against the United
States action towards Panama, in
which they claim that the main re-
sponsibility for the secession of Pana-
ma lies with the United States govern
ment, firstly, by fomenting the sepa-
ratist spirit, of which there seems to
be clear evidence. Secondly, by hastily
acknowledging the independence of the
revolted province, and, finally, by pre-
venting the Colombian government
from using proper means to suppress
the rebellion
The cable message goes on to say
that President Marroquin has energet-
ically protested to the Unied States,
and wishes that his protest should be
knowE throughout the civilized world.
The president contends that the United
States has infringed Article 35 of the
treaty of 1876, which, he aserts, i'm
plies the duty on the part of the United
States to help Colombia in maintaining
her sovereignty over the isthmus, and
adds that the "Colombians repudiate
the assumption that they have barred
the way to carrying out the canal"
President Marroquin points out that
Colombia had constantly endeavored
to act in friendly manner with the
United States, even asking for the as
sistance of American marines to insure
free transit across the isthmus," says
the rising occurred when the govern
ment was not prepared, having with
drawn most of It's troops when peace
was re-established last year, and con-
cludes: THE hastiness in recognizing
the new government which sprang UP
under these circumstances is all the
more surprising to the Colombian gov
ernment, as they recollect the energet-
ic opposition of Washington to the &c
acknowledgement of the belligerency of
the confederates by the powers during
the civil war"

Mississippi State News
Delta Dirt In Demand.

The demand for lands in the delta
was never greater than it is at this
time. People from that section Of
the State say that both residents and
non-residents are putting their
money in delta lands now. A great
deal of wild land is being bought
up and cleared and put in cultiva-
ton. The delta is coming into
prominence for its hard wood tim
Der, and a great deal of it is now
being cut and shipped for manufac-
ture, while some of it is being man
ufactured right on the ground.
Those who should know say that del
ia dirt has not reached the top notch
by any means, and that the next five
years will see prices a great deal
higher than they are at present.
