A TRIBUTE.

On the morning of January 1, the soul of little Herbert Smith took it's flight from earth and winged its way to Heaven. to live forever with the angels, and to join the spirit of his loving mother who had preceded him to that happy home above.
 He was Vhe second son of Mrs. Allie Bunting Smith, a lovely woman of beau- tifu! Christian character, who was born and reared in this city His little life was happy; though bereft of parents in his infancy, he was the precious idol of the dear aunts, who gave him home and all the care and affection that childhood needs. He was the joy and sunshine of that happy home. Now the sweet baby voice is hushed, the smiling eyes are closed, but he will awake to life atAn in a brighter land than this.
 The Father has lent little Herbert to us for six happy years, and shall we murmur or grieve, because He has re- claimed His own again? While we sor- row with his bereaved family in their loss, we believe
 ''The pains, the ills we've wept through here
 wrl turn to smiles in Heaven"
 We must say farewell to him now, but we shall clasp him to our hearts again in the Sweet Bye and Bye.

MIR. LUSK A CANDIDATE WILL RUN FOR CONGRESS TN
 SEVENTH DISTRICT. Well Known Lawyer of Marshall County Will Contest With Hon.
 John Burnett-Politics ... in East Alabama.

Hon. John A. Lusk. of Marshall, is an avowed candidate for Congress in oppo- sition to Representative John l.. Burnett of the Seventh district.
 MT. Lusk will open his campaign to- morrow at Centre, with the first speech of the contest. Mir. Lusks announcement was no sur- prise. It was generally believed that he was preparing to open. a fight for Con- gress from the Seventh district al- though he declined, while he was in Montgomery, attending the State Com mittee meeting to announce his candi- dacy. News of his announcement was re- ceived in Mtnogemry yesterday in tell egram from Mir. Lusk to friend.
 Congressman Burnett is completing his second term in Congress. When first elected he defeated MT. Lusk in the Dem ocratic primary.
 Mr. Lusk representing Marshall county was prominent figure in the last Legis- lature.
 East Alabama appears to be demanding the center of the political stage. Just now there are more politics there to the square inch than in any other section of the State.
 Rumors whose authenticity have not yet been established, have it that D. H. Riddle of Coosa county may decide to oppose Congressman c. w. Thompson.
 Judge N. D. Denson, of Lafayette, is confidently expected to enter the race for one of the places of associate justice of the Supreme Court. The expected entry of Judge Denson into the judicial primary would leave an open place on the Circuit Court bench which might be the object of a fight.
 Solicitor s. l.. Brewer of the Fifth cir cult, is an announced candidate for clerk of the Supreme Court, and this announce ment has opened the way for contest over the solicitorship, a contest that s already we'll under way. '.--e., Chancellor R. B, Kelly of the North eastern chancery' division, Is also an avowed candidate for associate justice This leaves the chancellorship of that division open for contest. There will be no lack of candidates for the place. H. J. Gitlam, a prominent attorney of WetumpAa, win be in the race. MT. Gil. lam was Tn Montgomery, yesterday. He told friends in this city of his ulIrpose to make the race for Chancellor Kelly $ place. Mr. Gillian formerly represented Tallapoosa County in the Legislature, and is well known throughout the dis trict.
 E. M. Oliver of Lafayette and B. B. Bridges of Goodwater are 'aspirants for the same place. Their candidacy has already been announced Mir. Oliver was at one time a representative in the Leg islature from Chambers County. Both he and MT. Bridges are attorneys we'll known in the counties composing that Chancery Division. ,
 Col. R. A. D. Dunlap of Gadsden has also announced his candidacy. for chan cellor. He has been endorsed by tre bar of Gadsden. Nt.

Opel1ka, Ala.
 Mir. Jno. N. Todd has returned from a trip to Opelika, Ala. where he opened and repaired a safe of prominent mer- chant of that city. This gentleman, who has made life time study of combination locks and safes, is the most skilled mechanic in the State and there is no one that is his peer in this profession. A funny incident occurred while in the city of Opelika. MT. Todd left his grip of safe tools at prominent place for a while and went up town to look around before going to the place where he had to open the safe. While strolling around town he was stopped by an officer, who questioned him considerably and really wanted to arrest him for having brought burglar tools into the town. After Mir. Todd had presented his card to the officer and making himself known the whole matter was dropped and the officer apolo- gized for being too nasty.
 Mir. Todd proceeded to the place of his work and opened and repaired the safe. and Is now safely" at home again with his many friends ''guying' him about be- ing a suspected burglar

MIDDLE NAME IN PHILADELPHIA.

? Philadelphia seems to be a city of middle names," said the cosmopolitan. eff man has a middle name, and most Philadelphians have at least one, he often insists upon having it spelled out in full. A mere initial won't do at all. Just glance over the society columns of the newspapers and you will see. For my part, l don't see just where there is any more dignity in John Brown Smith than in John B. Smith, but the average Philadelphian seems to think there is. I have frequently been impressed with the published reports of weddings in which the names are in- Variably elongated as much as poss.- ble. Now, in New York, if man hap pens to have a middle name he doesn't Haunt it on every possible occasion. I have just been reading about the plans for the coming wedding of Miss Elsie Whelen and Robert Goelet, of New York, and I was impressed by the fact that the published reports do not credit Mir. Goelet With even a midd e initial and the same applies to every one of his six ushers. And vet they are all prominent society en."-Phila. delDhia Record.

THE DEcADENT VANDERslLTs.

. If the formation of permanent aris- tocracy depended alone on the Wander bilts, the present promise would be shaky. Here is a group of the fourth generation, and the only man of un- doubted pith is Cornelius, the estrang- ed and disinherited one. If the estate should now disintegrate, there would apparently be nothing left but the memory of great name. Of inward superiority there seems no mark save in Cornelius, who, so to speak, with S or millions, is beginning at the bot tom again. The race current appears very thin now; the only momentum is in ihe wealth. and if that should by
 nap be pulverized ude.. some might; attack by a new swordsman, the Van oerbilts would scatter off just like any other American citizens, and the name which for twenty-five years has been crowded on public attention as the symbol of American splendor and rank.

BENEFITS OF WALKING.

The best simplest, universal exer- else is that of walking. I can walk with enjoyment for hours along a flat country, and even in the parks and embankments of London. but l at- tribute my health and activity in my seventy third year to the steady pur- suit of climbing hills, mountains, gla- ciers and moors-a practice which l began in my seventeenth year in the Highlands of Scotland. Since then | have constantly worked all round the Alps, from Nice to Tyrol, doing nearly all the well known peaks-the Grivola in a vergias being the worst. I have walked in the Pyrenees, the Apennines and the mountains of Sicily and Greece, the Welsh, Scotch and Lake hills, the moors of Yorkshire, Lancashire, Hamp- shire, Cornwall, Surrey and Sussex. I played cricket in my school and college elevens as bowler and I have enjoyed tennis, racquets, lawn tennis (which I still play), foot ball. rowing and skat
 ing. But none equals walking. I have ridden all my life, but I find hunting, shooting, fishing and golf sheer waste of time. An Alpine glacier-even d British cragside-is worth all the stupid forms of sport" put together.- Frederick Harrison in London News.

WHEN THE CHILDREN GO TO
 MARKET.

What do you want?" asked the butcher in a large east side market that had suddenly become inundated with small children just after school left out for the noon hour.
 Meat" was the laconic reply.
 How much money y got?" asked the butcher.
 The child unloosed a chubby fist and disclosed F cents. An I want an onion she said.
 The butcher tok the 12 cents sliced off two small veal outlets, wrapped them up with an onion and sent the child on it's homeward way. In less than fifteen minutes he had waited upon a dozen or more children in the same fashion.
 "It is up to me to decide what half the people in q block have for dinner" lac explained. Tt is not all guesswork, for the same children come here day after day at the same time. and 1 try not to give them the same things twice in succession. They belong to mothers who are too busy to think of dinner until ten minutes before 1t is time to put it on the table~ Instead of coming around in the mornings and getting their moneys worth, these women wait till the children come from school, and then trust to us for what they can get Thrift is the last consideration. That little girl had just enough money for two outlets and an onion. If it's mother had wanted a steak she would have given it more money. She wanted something to cook in the fry ing pan quick. More than half the time the children forget what they are told to ask for. and we just guess what to give them from the amount of mon- ey they have. We take it all every time. If the kids were sent homo with any change it would be taken away from them by thieving boys. Mothers know that by experience. They give the children just the amount of cash they have to spend, the butcher does the rest."-New York Times.

THE DIET FOR CONSERVATIVES.

You have to eat at a sanitarium for consumptiVes, hungry or not. There are no big gorges to oVerwork the stomach, but there are six meals a dayof moder- ate size. Some patients can eat full meals and then swallow thirty-six raw eggs a day. The aim of the treatment in these sanatoria is to get the sick man to drink three quarts of milk and eat a dozen raw eggs a day in addition to his regular meals of simple food.
 And you must eat meat, and plenty of it. Don't cut the fat off. The COW got most of the good out of the lean in her lifetime. The fat is what will do you good. All that there is to cod liver oil that makes it worth while is that it is a fat easy to assimilate. Bacon-fat is nearly as easy to digest, and about five hundred times as easy to take. I had a dose of cod-liver oil about eleven years ago. ] believe can taste it yet.
 Fruits and salads you may eat merely to amuse yourself and pass the time. But you are wasting stomach room on them. Milk, eggs, meat, and hard breads for you if you are to get well. Not a great deal at a time, but often." Eugene Wood in Every bodys Magazine.
