Midsummer day, or 81 John tie Rap-
lists day. is festival Of much impor-
tance among the Masur peasant girls
in east Prussia. On this day they each
make a wreath. and each In turn tries
TO throw her wreath 80 as TO lodge II
on a fruit tree. A girl must keep on
throwing until her wreath stays IN the
branches, and the number OF attempts
Is SUPPOSED TO indicate the number OF
years she will have TO wait to get mar
ried. When tue girls are thus engaged
the young men OF the village stand
around chatting them when they miss,
The girl who lands her wreath at the
frst attempt is vehemently appIanded.
The Masurs are Poles who live in that
part OF Prussia which was once part
OF Poland.

When the first stockyards strike

that agreement by calling the second
strike.
Il is fair to state, however, that the
agreement was not broken in a spirit
of dishonesty or bad faith. The sec

employers were violating the peace

THE WORO BOGUS.
There Are several Pisasibfe The-
ori~s ss to fts "0rig M >

The word "boscs" Is said 10y Or. Ogii'
vie to bc derived from Bo2hese, the
name Of notorious American swlndler
who about the year 1888 flooded the
western and southwestern states with
counterfeit bills. sham mortgages ana
such like. Others connect the WORD
with "boric." sCNrCcruw or goblin,
and so applied TO anything fictitious or
chimcrical.
Lowell in the "Biglow Papers says.
II more than suspect the word TO be
"A corruption of the French bagnsse.'
This bagassc was the sugar cane ms
delivered in It's dry, crushed state from
the mill. called also cane trash, and fit
only for burning, being thus synony'
nous with useless rubbish.
Again, according To Brewer, there Is
I'm French argut, or thieves slang. a
word. boguc, which signifies the rind Of
green chestnut or the case OF u
watch. and this also brings us TO tie
idea of an outward seeming without
any solid aud reputable foundation

lie statements, would you allow him to serve or not? If not why not2
 If l understand you correctly. you say all railroad rates are too high and should be reduced from to 80 per cent You will remember thatI told you, when in my office, that I felt you were unfair Tn not taking into consideration the inter state, or through rates, when making com parisons of local rates as between points in Alabama and points in Georgia. Now, if you should be elected president of the Alabama railroad commission, and should you carry out your policy of indiscrimln- ate reductions in local rates and reduce the rate on flour out of Birmingham say to Alexander City, Goodwater and Dade- vile, IS cents per barrel, and the railroads should advance the through rates 15 cents per barrel from the west to Birmingham as they did in Georgia, to offset the loss sustained by reduction In local rates, could Birmingham compete with Column bus, Ga? Could you, as president of the Alabama railroad commission, do one thing. under such circumstances to help Birmingham? You as a good business man, must admit your utter heplessness Then, if this be true, your policy would absolutely ruin every distributing point in Alabama. If you bring about such a condi- ton as this, by causing the railroads to advance their through rates to all distrib- uting points, how could you. in any way, benefit the farmer, the merchant or the consumer, by your policy? If this policy will not, if adopted, destroy all distribut- ing points, without a benefit to the con- sumer, please explain why.
 Feeling that probably some of my brother tobbers throughout the state might make a very great mistake in ad- vocating extreme measures, I felt 1t my duty to sound note of warming before 1t was too late. Yours truly,

THE NEWPORT CASINO
 REPRODUCED AT SAKS

Visitors to the spring opening at the Saks store tomorrow will be treated to marvellous specimen of artistic work. which for originality and execution is in keeping with the enterprise of MT. Saks and his progressive assistants. It will be an absolutely perfect reproduction of the Casino. at Newport. the summer resort of the fashionable "400' of New York.
 The visitor on leaving the elevator in the ladies' department of the store. will walk down vista of palms to the veran- da of the Casino, which is actually ninety feet long and built substantially of wood and painted white. On this veranda or promenade are to be seen many new and beautiful wax figures of men and women, arrayed in the height of fashion and showing some of the beautiful gowns which will be worn at Newport this sea- son. The visitor passes through the en- trance into the grand hall. which is fres- coed and finished as handsomely as though 1t was permanent structure. Concealed behind a bank of palms an or chestra will discourse sweet music during the day and evening. Ia Newport. Here other stylishly dressed figures will be seen in various life-like attitudes There has never, perhaps, been so elaborate a production by any store In Birmlngham m. The cost will amount to something like s1200 when the work Is complete. But that is the Saks way of doing things-ex- pense is not counted when 1t comes to pro- ducing something for the pleasure of the friends of the store.
 This beautiful work will be viewed by thousands of visitors to the store during the opening days-Monday and Tuesday
