T remained for the Faith Curists, at
 least one of them. and sister Into the bargain. to point out that bath ing suit is the garment best adapted to baptism. Of course there is little pessI- bility that a sacrilegious state of affairs will ever come to pass when candidates for baptism will wear bathing suits. but the action of this particular Faith Christ merely goes to show how very up-to-date some religions are getting to be. No doubt 1t is possible to be immersed as decorously and satisfactorily in bathing suit as any other garment, but the Idea of "sisters. appearing in such attire is just a little too much for the orthordox. The asso- citations of the seashore are brought out too prominently. Another Faith Christ was recently baptized in mackintosh and pair of rubber boots. These two cases merely serve to remind us that the ideas of some people in spiritual matters are a trifie peculiar.
 It has been the generally accepted opin- ion that a Kansas cyclone is about the
 
 yet discovered. The respect which has heretofore been rendered the Kansas cyclone has just been accentuated by it's latest escapade of blowing a fast-hying train from the track. The story hath a Munchausen ring but nevertheless must be accepted as true. We are told that the festive breeze not only blew an 14..4 deposited coach full of passengers about twenty-five feet away where everybody would be out of danger, and then pro- ceeded to SOW freight over the adjoining states. While it has not yet been proved that a Kansas cyclone has ever blown chin that is the very next achievement which we may anticipate.
 While the gentle sex is displaying such eagerness to see prize fights in va rious parts of the land, why not remove the restrictions which prevent them from participating in one of the enJoyments hitherto monopolized by men. They would swell the box-ofhce receipts NoAAoANaSAa AaDAJ anu tlitiI presence WOulQ lend encouragement to the fighters Any knight of the ring will tell you that he can battle more valorously in the pres ence of his ladye faire than when she is absent and if lovely woman is really in earnest about wishing to become an habitue of the ring, why give her box seat every time. If she does not get enough the first time she may the next, while the possibility of her finally com peting for honors with the gloves is small. The rolling pin is her most effec- tive weapon.
 A special to The Age-Herald from Athens, Ala, says that one of the largest crowds ever recorded recently attended a circus there, and in the throng of pleas ure-seekers were old people who had never seen a railroad train or a circus before. Can 1t be possible that such a state of ignorance exists in what John Wallace calls our fair commonwealth? !? There was a story recently published in an eastern paper which told of an Ala bama backwoodsman who had never seen an American flag until it was unfurled to his astonished eyes by A corps of itiner- ant engineers. That at least sounded

 Covington News Judge Parker has again accepted the democratic nomina- tion, this time by letter. Since reading his letter of acceptance, we feel doubly sure that Covington county may be safe- ly put down In the Parker column.
 Dothan Siftings: Many cotton fields for the last picking and stock turned In the fields. We do not remember having ever before seen the cotton crop gather ed and the cows turned fin the field quite so early as September.
 Troy Messenger: Over in Georgia some one is laying claim to having found a genuine boil weevil The boil weevil is taking away some of the notoriety of the North Pole. People formerly desired to discover the North Pole, but for the past six months every fellow has been trying to discover boil weevil, but none except the Texans have succeeded.
 Tuscaloosa Times Gazette: It seems that some of the soldier boys who went to Huntsville from Birmingham are about to lose their jobs. That is pretty hard on the boys, as they have no choice when called out as one who has had experience can testify. The merchant. on the other hand, is deprived of the services of several capable men at his busiest season. This Is certainly incon- venient but all useful things accomplish ed for the general good are usually at tained only at somebody's sacrifice.

THE NAUTcH GIRLS SONG

From Arnolds Light of Asia. Fair goes the dancing when the sitars
 tuned; Tune us the sitar, neither low nor high. And we will dance away the hearts of
 men. The string o'erstretched breaks, and the
 music flies; The string o'erslack is dumb and music
 dies; Tune us the sitar neither low nor high.

NATIONAL POLITICS.
Lett. Is Approved.

From the Charleston Post.
 Judge Parker's letter has been received with very hearty approval by the inde- pendent press and there can be no doubt that it has greatly enlivened the cam paign for his election. And the eandi- dates visit to the working headquarters of the party in New York are productive of good results. Judge Parker is a very capable politician and he is wise to take the leadership of the situation to him self. And his acquisition of Senator Cor man as chief of his general staff has given him most efficient service in direction of the operations.

From the Louisville courier-Journal.
 Republican policies have never been menace to the business interests of the country" said Candidate Fairbanks in one of his recent campaign speeches. Why, senator how can you say so7 Was not the panic of 1873 the greatest the country has ever known? Next that of 1883?

 t'Sheffield is almost as active as 1t has ever been since the slump of some years ago, just after the boom, :" remarked claud Seals of that town, who IS no" on visit to Birmingham. Tn fact Shef- field has nothing to complain about. Many of her industries are in active op- eration and more are expected to soon light up their fires.
 ''The completion and successful opera tion of our electric street car line con- meeting the three towns of Florence, Tus- cnmbia and Sheffield close together in spires the community of interest idea and the three places constitute quite 8 large city in fact.
 The Tennessee river and our railroad connections with close proximity to coal Iron, timber and agricultural fields, givt to the three towns a commanding posi- ton, and nothing can keep back theii growth and development"

HOLLANDS UNHAPPY QUEEN.

From the London World
Queen Wilhelmina is only about % az

yet already She has lost all trace Of her
old sladsomeress. all trace of her cid
vigor She seems to look at life now
from the standpoint of niddIe-aged
woman, one who is more prone to fear
than to hope. The loss of her child was
for her. as for all Holland. terrible
blow. Then not only has her marriage
proved a failure. NOT only is she tied
for life To a man between whom and
herself there is no sympathy. but she ha.,
had TO sing TeEel over the friend fl.
whom she placed al her trust.
II was a rude shock to her no doubt
when she found that the Kaiser was
PLAYING fast and loose with The Beers
and had no thought Of rsking a single
soldier for their sake; but it was
much ruder shock when she found thai
all the while he was talking to her as
if has one wish on earth was to hedp
her and serve her. he was scheming

she used 10 look as her all powerful
protector is the enemy Holland has
most TO fear. and Holland Is dearer 10
her than life. She IS practically alone
i'm the world and can hardly be blind
10 the fact that she * alone because
she allowed him 10 estrange her from

would have stood by her. And her own
