 Hon. Robert J. Lowe. candidate for President of the Railroad Commission. who came to Montgomery Saturday night, left Montgomery yesterday morning, the clerk at his hotel saying that Mfr. Lowe went to Eufaula.
 No public intimation was given by Mir. Lowe before he left Montgomery as to what he would do about qualifying on the Democratic ticket. which must bet done today Neither Mir. Lowe nor Frank M Donner of Selma have declared their ln- tention. The other candidates have sent their names to Chairman Mallory of the State Democratic Committee.
 A special to The Advertiser last night from Birmingham said:
 "A telephone message to the residence of Robert J. Lowe, candidate for Chair man of the State Railroad Commission, was replied to that Mir. Lowe was out ot the city and no information would be given as to his intentions. A few weeks ago Mir. Lowe was asked concerning certain rumors which were out and he replied fervently: I am in the race to the end. have received assur- ances from friends in all parts of the State, and am confident of being victo- rIous at the polls dn April 1Ith.

He came to Montgomery Friday night and was directed to { boarding house. where he rested that night. The next morning bright and early he arose and made his way to the down town district of the city. He took no mental notes as to the location of the boarding house. At dinner time he attempted to return to the boarding house aforesaid, but 1t was a case of finding needle in haystack. There are lots of streets in Montgomery and lots of boarding houses. Perhaps Mitchell wosted this not.
 Any how he can't find his satchel, which he left in the boarding house and that satchel contained number of col- lars and big pistol. the pride of Mitch ell.

WHY I THINK I'M INVISIBLE

fashion ana a mould of form would only mako r,vaeif ridiculous and be uncorl- fortable into the bargain: so I say Why not iet ,em know you don't think you're \ Ieasier of fashion?r and dress accord ingly. And if you'll try those mittens you'll be good deal warmer. They beat castor gloves all hollow and they're only one-tenth of the price Twelve and half cents for eaci- mitten.
 ten you that just as soon as you get to the point where you don't care wheth- CT you make guy cf yourself or not you find that you can put money in the bank even on your slender salary That Is. you can if you don't have to blow 1t in on bread for the children. This bread for the children Is what Is Keeping thousands of men in the straight and narrow way. There'd be more drunkards and more merrymaking of all kinds If 1t wasn't for this eternal bread buying.
 A man gets hold of tidy little sum and as he's supplied with mlttens and other comforts for the winter he thinks hen sink a iitle money in foily--take in a matinee, or something of that sort-and he starts out to do t with a quiet con- science. and first thing he knows he sees the baker's sign and that reminds him of the children. and he's pulled up with .
 
 eousness and suppose that's why we pray for it, or else we don't.
 Happy Is the man who starts in to ed- ucate his children as soon as they can talk and graduates them with honors when they are 14, because by the time they're 1y they may begin to blow him on to bread and become his stan of life from then on.
 This talk of college is foolishness. Let a young man begin by supporting the old man. and when he has supplied him with the iuxuries that the father went with out in order that the boy migt have bread. and Incidentally has learned a great deal more of the world than they teach at most colleges. then let him take a term or two at Harvard so as to give him the ability to move easily about in one of those high priced stores among the princesses. But the Knowledge of the world should come first along with the daily roll for the old gentleman.

MANS HAPPINESS
SUBJECT OF REV. N. B. WILL LIA1ES YESTERDAY.
Spoke to Y. M. 0. A. on the Happi. ness of the Man Whose Trans gressions Were
 Forgiven.

Rev. N. B. Williams addressed the Y. M. c. A. meeting yesterday on the text found in Psalms xxxiv,l: Happy iS the man whose transEression is forgiven, whose sin Is covered"
 All men are in quest of happiness. but too often with mistaken aims and meth ods. The laugh. jest. etc, do not rleces- sarily indicate happy spirit. Often those hut hide and are intended to hide. an aching heart. Men even plunge into dissipation to hide themselves from them selves.
 A serious trouble is that men often fall to distinguish between pleasure and hap piness. They are not os the same class. Pleasure as such is short lived and aI- ways leaves a bitter taste. Happiness Is q permanent fount and it's waters are in- lvariably sweet.
 Remark 1. That happiness is not de- pendent upon outward circumstances If go Queen Elizabeth and Alexander the Great would have been happy, and vet | one died with the shriek upon her lbs My Kingdom for an inch of time" And the other died a drunkard and suicide. If 80 then that poor widow on her death bed with motherless. suffering children around her would be miserable. But lis. ten to the song from her lips. Jesus. refuge of my soul.
 second-Nur Is happiness to be gained as an object of pursuit. The moment wc make of 1t a selfish aim we defeat our purpose.
 In order to pursue it we must know what it Is and where to find it. The L. 10000 of earth's Inhabitants each would give a different definition and toward 1t in a different direction.
 Manifestly no happiness can be realized when the whole manhood is at strife within itself, and happiness must consider the proper balance and right use of all the powers.
 This impossible with sins unforgiven and the power of sin unbrel1en and the text points the way to happiness in the words: Happy Is he etc. Christ the atoner. the source of forgive nNas Waa nolAeaA ant

 have comdt6the conclusion that when I'm h department store am invisible.
 Now, you know when a man goes up to the handkerchief department and says In fairly strong terms. Please let me LOOK at your slightly soiled Irish linen real gentlemen's handkerchiefs at thirty cents dozen marked down from three dollars on account of stock taking and tho young woman addressed looks right through him to the lady behind him and asks her what she wants, it stands to req son that the man must be invisible. II has happened to me and 1t really gave me an uncanny feeling. hate to go into 8 crowd in department store for fear that Will become invisible. and then maybe Q pickpocket will go through me.
 But to drop foolish persifiage, there's another reason why feel that I'm invis- bie In a department store, and that is be- cause the young wonl--the young ladies' talk right along as if they didn't see me, even # cough and stand on my tip toes. Now. if was looking right at q certain space and suddenly a cough came out of that space, and yet I saw no man, I'd stop talking and begin to shiver. al though I'm not superstitious. but these salesladies are evidently quite used to hearing coughs come from invisible meH. for they go right on. only pausing to take breath. and sometimes I blush in my iinvisibiiity--by the way, I'd dearly love to see an invisible blush-wonder what color it is--I say blush because. their talk is not only 90 intimate. but often go acrimonious
 Now. they say you won't hear acrimon- ious talk at the higher priced places, but -yeu know how t is Times aren't whal they were a year or two ago. and If can get good handkerchiefs for the wash ing at six cents apiece what's the use oi going to . Fifth Avenue store where ons hears nothing but the most high bref talk. and pays for 1t when he buys his handherchiefs?
 Besides. in some of those higher priced shops there is an air of hautenr. a sofl of French aristocFacy atmosphere thai chills me so that I forget what I came for and am glad to escape to the more democratic street. There's no feeling oi universal er-sisterhoo at those swell places. The young ladies-young prin'
