MISS WALKER IN AeE-HERALD.

From the Montgomery Times.
 In the Age-Herald of Sunday. Miss An- nie Kendrick Walker has charming de- scription of one of the most noted homes in Alabama, 'Hayslope.'' near Birning- ham. where recently it's present owners, MT. and Mrs. Theophilus Rogan, ceiebrat- ed their golden wedding, and whose orig inal founder, Colonel Thomas Roddy, vas at the battle of Kings mountain with the revolutionary soldiers. Through whole page of the Age Herald fin which is not one dull word she follows the vicissitudes of the home in peace. in war. and in TO- nance. and repeoples 1t with the brave men and lovely women who have made it historic.
 We trust this Is but the beginning of beautiful homes of Alabama before the present generation, as was done for Vir- ginia homes by the Richmond Times, and is being done now for Georgia homes by the Sunny South (Atlanta).
 Miss Walker has developed the social department of the Birmingham Age-Her- aid from few hundred words about the charming conventional functions of that city into a department which does not neglect these and includes, too. columns of sociological value and historic and lit- erary interest. She Is at once a model and an inspiration. and by the high char acter of her work is giving denial to the charge that the ''woman's column cul- tivates false ideals and disturbs the pro- portion of things that are worth while" As in all professions. 'the individual counts in each department of a newspa- per. Any man or woman who Is not in Himself or herself a mere reflection or echo of things that reach him through the physical senses will in work that brings contact with humanity and therefore re- sulting responsibility. reveal widening sympathies whose exercise does not lessen but intensity interest in things near and local.

"All the restaurants and hotels are now serving fresh eggs, but up to the begin ming of Lent only cold storage eggs were seen in public eating houses" said a we'll known caterer. ''The high price of eggs during the winter forced us to use the cold storage article.

Frank Walcott Hut in the New Orleans Times-Democrat. Oh. a little march for bedtime
 When the dusk is on the town, And the man O dreams goes calling
 Up and down. and up and down, And his wee sleep-laddie follows
 In white and twinkling gown. Oh. little march for bedtime
 When the evening sun is low, And the wise sleep-mother rocketh
 To and fro, and to and fro. While she's softly. softly singing
 Lullabies the children know. Oh, a little march for bedtime
 And song of slumber deep, While the great worlds tiny children
 Up the thousand stairways creep; Oh a little march for bedtime.
 And little song of sleep.

into sea, as she says she will do. The minister of Japan at Seoul will here after govern in and through the em- peror of Korea, whose chief occupation will be the wearing of tall hat. The Korean troops have already joined the Japanese in the field, but this will not perceptibly change the nature of the struggle, unless the Koreans can be rapidly assimilated.
 The Korean treaty is of wide import ance in the respect of open ports. Wiju, at the mouth of the Yalu, has already been opened to foreign trade, and if the Japanese win in the present war every part of Korea will be opened to the trade of the world, and it was once hermit nation and the Russians had planned to make it another field of their peculiar monopolistic bounties another Persia, in fact. The main tenance of the new treaty between Korea and Japan Is therefore of deep interest to southern cotton mills, and really to many other American indus tries. Russia stands everywhere for trade monopoly, and Japan holds open the doors wherever she gains control.

IT WROUGHT A
WONDERFUL CHANGE.
Visit 10 the South Opens the
Eyes Of Northern Min
ister

A well known Richmond gentleman who
has recently connected himself with
northern business house writes back to
friends hero in wonder and amazement
pv.. the remarkable change that mere
,trip to Virginia will make in the northern
mind pre JUDGED gainst everything south

South in reference to the negro aquestiaoGn c
and other matters. But recently he came
south, stayed in Virginia, and eat and
drank with Virginia people. He is back
al home now and this. Is part what
northern paper says, with tho authority
of the minister
incidentally Mr.. Caldwell has been max
ing quite a study OF the colored question,
and he says the outlooll&i Is not encour-

children are taught by colored teachers

cabins terrible poverty prevails, with
( drunkenness and immortality common.
Where the negro knows his place and IS

ton. In fact some such colorcd men are
mucl, respected. even having stores or
their own where most OF their trade IS
with the whites. But any attempt or sus-
ycstion of equality of the races Is quickly
and positively resented. Hence Mr.. Calu-
we'll says ne is slowly arriving at the
conclusion, that. as the northern man
does not and cannot understand al the
conditions unless he sees for himself. ana
as the naughty South will not be coerceo,
It is better far. at present. to leave the
settlement with the southern man MIN
self. The fact Is that the South Is kinder
