cLAYToN's HORSE.
, the New York World.

From the New York World.
 Representative Clayton of Alabama tried to buy a horse last fall that he could use for hunting. He went to a neighbor who knew him as great hun ter and fisherman.
 This horse" the neighbor told Clay ton. showing him one. 'is not afraid of a gun and can point a bird as we'll as a dog"
 "Tll take him, and if he's all right I'll pay you $6O for him. and if he really finds birds I'll give you $lo0 for him. Clayton said.
 He took the horse for a trial. While riding him the next day the horse stum- bled and fell in crossing stream. Clay ton took him back.
 'I don't want that horse." he said. He stumbled and almost drowned me-"
 ''Oh. that's all right" the seller an- swered. That horse is as good after fish as he is birds

Paper from Cotton Stalks.

Fl. J. Webber, an expert of the agrl, cultural department, believes the prob. lem of manufacturing paper from cot. ton stalks has been solved, and the department will soon issue bulletin devoted to cotton stalk paper. IL should be printed on cotton stalks smoothed out. Thus far the expert. ments relate to the manufacture of fine paper, but if fine paper can be made from cotton stalks, the coarser and cheaper grades can be.
 Representative Howard of Lexing ton, Ga, and the Texas congressman are giving much attention to the sub ject. The experiments are in every re- spect satisfactory, and paper mill in Atlanta is turning out paper daily from cotton stalks. The Texas con

Governor JeIks' Condition.

The people of Alabama will be reassured in reading this communication from J. K. Jackson, private secretary to Governor Jelks. which appeared in the Montgom- cry Advertiser of yesterday:
 Your reference to the governor in this mornings paper has, unintentionally of course, caused needless alarm to many of his friends and brought me so many inquiries that I ask you to publish this short statement:
 He has not been very we'll and, pru- dent man that he Is, has determined to take a rest. Dr. Mangum going with him was not the result of the governors con- dition. The doctor went west to see a member of his own family.
 His condition is not so serious that his friends need be alarmed. I am justified in making this statement after consulta- tion with his physician today"

TOWN WITHOUT OFFICERS.
the Fort Worth Record.

From the Fort Worth Record.
 Spokogee, town in the western part of the Creek Nation, is the only town Of 1000 population In the territory that has no town officers. The people there say they have no need of officers and do not want any. They pay no taxes, and whenever they want any public improvement they call a meeting of citizens and raise the money. A deputy United States marshal is all that Is needed to keep the peace. There is not a gambler or gambling house in the town. They needed a schoolhouse, so the people built a good two-story building.

N RANK A. MUNSEY announces
 S that he will dispose of his inter-
 ests in the New York News be- fore the end of this month. Evidently one of the most profound egoIsts in the coun- try has at last come to the concluson that there are a few things which he does not know, for MT. Munsey says that he does not believe that newspaper work suits his particular talents, and he will continue to edit his magazines, which he has been doing very successfully. Al- though Mir. Munsey has a way of taking up much valuable space In his publica- tons with his personal views he is un- doubtedly one of the most successful as well as energetic magazine editors In the United States. He does not say just why he will relinauish his hold on the New York News, but he Is clearly dissatisfied and will probably leave the newspaper field to Mir. Hearst, who has great talent for spreading out.
 Comedy and rathos are strangely in- termingled in the divorce courts, so that it is often hard to decide whether to
  up the other day in which a man accused his wife of flirting at every opportunity. and as an example of the frivolous ways said that when a comedian on the stage asked if there was a woman in the aud.- ence who had never been kissed, the accused wife immediately rose from her seat and there was trouble at home. The testimony does not show whether the husband was chagrined because his wife did not think herself kissed enough or was mortified at the publicity of her act. Also the wife accuses her husband of cruelty. The reasons for a divorce are some times as hard to understand as the reasons why many people get married.
 In spite of the fact that spring poets are ridiculed with right good will and even the best rhymers are apt to bring themselves into discredit by the ven- ture, few can refrain from making re- marks about the budding flowers, the carroling birds. and other features much in evidence along about May 1. Good spring poetry is not objectionable but unfortunately the poets have way of warbling about sunshine and flowers when the air is decidedly nipping and the mere idea of summer underwear causes one to shiver.
 Quite a stir has been created over the report that President Roosevelt and Miss Alice Roosevelt were caricatured in a roaring farce" at a Berlin theatre. While 1t would show more consideration on the part of our friends, the Germans. If they had left Miss Roosevelt out of the show. no one can make any very stren- uous howl on the Presidents account when 1t Is remembered how many times and oft he has been caricatured and abused in the United States by his own countrymen. This case, reminds one of conditions that prevail In many happy families. A man will abuse his dear cousin with a vengeance and think noth-

TOBACCO THE SUBJECT
 OF PRAISE AND CALUMNY

cd that a proper application of the time and money thus lost to the public might constitute a fund for the discharge of England's natioral debt"
 In spite of these bitter invectives agaisnt tobacco, the majority of famous person. ages have used 1t in some form or other.
 Talleyrand declared that diplomacy was impossible without snuff. John Dryden used 1t and so did Dr. Johnson, and Sir Joshua Reynolds, and Pope and Steele, and Voltaire, and Tom Moore, and pr. Parr, and Sir Walter Scott, and Leigh Hunt. and George Crabbe. and Napoleon. and Charles Lamb. and hundreds of oth- CTS. whom we could mention on a mo- ments notice.
 Lamb both smoked and snuffed, and once said that he hoped when he reach- ed Elysium he would have chance to offer a. pinch of Spanish dust to Robert Burton, his favorite author.
 He heralds the praise of snuff in rhyme:
 Scent to match thy rich perfume,
 Chymic art did ne'er presume,
 Through her quaint alembic strain,
 None so sovereign to the brain.'
 The sensation occasioned by pinch of snuff is thus described by another bard: What a moment What a doubt! All my nose, inside and out,
 All my thrilling, tickling, causic Pyramid rhinocerostic
 Wants to sneeze, and cannot do it, Now 1t yearns me. thrills me, stings me- Now with rapturous torment wrings me, Now says Sneeze. you fool, get through 1t, What shall help me ?-Ohl Good Heavens Ah-yes, thank ye-Thirty seven Shee--Shee-Oh. 'tis most del-ishi Ishi-Ishi-most del-ishi
 Hang iti I shall sneeze till spring) Snuffs a most delicious thing.
 At the coronation of George " the bill for snuff boxes to foreign ministers was fS2o5 15s 3d. Many kinds of boxes were in vogue during the eighteenth century, some of which were very elaborately wrought in silver and gold. It has been said that enough snuff boxes have been made of Shakespeare Mulberry tree to build man of war. At one time the beaux carried canes with hollow heads filled with snuff which they sniffed through perforations in the top.
 Those who acquire an appetite for snuff or tobacco in any form, usually find themselves in the same position in the end, as was Robert Hall the famous divine.
 He used to smoke until the last mo- ment before ascending the pulpit and re- sumed his pipe as soon as he came down. When friend told him he was ruining his health, he replied: T can't answer your arguments and I can't give up my pipe"

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR
rom the New York Press

From the New York Press
 Money is just sprinter. going a short ways but very fast
 It Is very common of woman to bleach her hair when washing it will get the same effect.
 A woman always thinks she could save a great deal of money if the man who earns 1t for her spent less.
 Somehow a widow seems to be able to read the size of mans bank account right through the cloth over the breast pocket where he carries his check book
 Marriage would not be such a failure as 1t is If women could understand that there are occasions when 1t would be very unnatural if man did not try to put his cravat in his trousers stretcher at 1 o'clock in the morning.

USING THE SQUEAL.

From the New York Times,
 An Englishman was talking with Jack Flaherty, manager of the Ma jestic theatre, about proposed visit tc Chicago.
 'I want to see the stockyards, you know said the Engllshman. "I am told don't you know, that in the big establish- ments there they save everything about the pig but the squeal''
 "They save the squeal now" said MT Flaherty
 Save the squeal?" echoed the Eng lishman. Absurd. What could they dc with the squeal?'
 ''They use 1t making phonographs."

General Forests Monument.

Memphis Is engaged In an effort to gather fund of $2S,500 with which to erect in one of its parks statue of Gen. N. B. Forest. About $11 ,000 are to be added to the money in hand in order to carry out the intention of the friends and admirers of the great cav. airy leader If the funds can be speed fly procured the statue will be placed i1 Forests home city in October.
 Memphis will deserve the gratitude of all the south if it erects the pro- posed monument to soldier who com mands the respect and love of every Confederate soldier. His deeds shine with additional lustre as time ad- vances. The peerless soldier should in deed be commemorated in his own city. Every child should see it, and every old soldier who visits Memphis will have his heart gladdened by it. All praise to Memphis.
 There is feeling among Confederate soldiers that Forrest was cavalry man who was fuller of resources than Sheridan or of any other leader on the federal side. His courage backed up his active brain, and between the two he won wherevc- success was possible, until he became tower of strength to the Confederacy. His career stands out brightly even in the shadow of general defeat.

SONG. OF THE SOLDIERS.
from Goethe. Translated by Bayard Fay.

From Goethe. Translated by Bayard Fay. Tor. Castles with lofty Ramparts and towers, Maidens disdainful In beauty's array, Both shall be ours. Bold is the venture, Splendid the payl Lads, let the trumpets For us be suing Calling to pleasure, Calling to ruin. Stormy our life is;
 Such is our boon, Maidens and castles Capitulate soon. Bold is the venture, Splendid the pay. And the soldiers go marching. Marching away!
