IDEAL IN HOUSEKEEPING.
Many of the old 6mstoms and Con. ditionS Are Passhpg Entire-
 1y Away.


 A generation ago to be an ideal bopsa- keeper was the chief ambition of aA.,, os4 every woman. No girl desired farg- fate than to be placed at the head of al household with a good and loving hus- band to supRly all her wants and make her the mistress and the queen of his heart and his home. In most cases, says the Peoria Herald Transcript, the girl who started housekeeping had more or less experience in theart under the tuition of her mother. She loved to decorate and beautify the house which was to be her home during the rest of her earthly pil- grimage. She loved to create delicacies for her husband and her children, and, disguise it as we may, much of the af- lection she received was due entirely to her skill as homemaker When her children grew up around her this kind and sympathetic mother and the pantry were the chief attractions in their world. As they grew older the ties only grew the stronger. When they acquired families of their own the old homestead, with its abundance of good things, still had attractions for them. The kind old mother was still their best friend. She knew all the difficulties they had to en- counter in starting homes of their own, and her advice and sympathy were worth more to them than gold. The grandchildren came to venerate her as a sort of venerable goddess, and when she finally went away from the home circle she left vacancy which could never be filled.
 But we are assured with every symp- tom of rejoicing that these conditions are passing; that women have been emancipated; that ir the future they are to be the rival, instead of the helpmate, of man, and that they must combine to enforce their just demands against the hostility of the male sex. This is non- sense pure and simple. It may be true that there are more mannish women in this generation than there were In the | last. It is unfortunately true that larger proportion of the female popula- tion has been forced to be self-support- ing, but it is not true that women enjoy f the so-called liberty" which goes with toiling for living.
 The home instinct is too deeply planted in the heart of women to be re- moved by the effects of a generation of club work. It will never be removed. A few women may go after strange gods, but the natural, wholesome girl will still find her highest ideal of happiness in a good husband and cozy home. The clubs may succeed in making such homes impossible to few men and women by making the young women feel that they have a more important work in the world than the prosaic duty of home making, but among the masses of the American people the mother will con- tinue to be the bond which unites the unities of that holy institution the fam fly, and she will continue in this exalted role until the end of all things.

WHAT DROVE HIM TO DRINK.
nm Awful Possibility Op- pressing Her.

Darling" he said, as he placed his arm around her waist and drew her ten derly to his breast, relates the New York Times, why those pearly tears? Is the home that I have brought you to less magnificent than you expected?"
 "Oh, n-no," she sobbed. Tt is g-grand- CT than dared to h-hope."
 Have you found since our marriage that am less exalted than you had sup posed me to be?"
 "Oh, Fired, you are th-thousand times more exalt-t-ted than I thought you to b-be."
 Stopping down he kissed away two large tears that were trembling upon her long, graceful lashes, and asked:
 Has it grieved you to be taken from your parents and the scenes of your childhood, little one"
 'No, no, dear-dearest," she replied. T would g-gladly go anywhere w-with you"
 Great heavens!" he cried, in wild alarm. Perhaps you are i'll. Tell me, is it so, sweetheart?"
 ''No," she said, through fresh burst of tears, 'it is not that"
 A look of deep peTplexity overspread his handsome visage, and, pushing her back so that he could look down into her big, beautiful, tear-dimmed eyes, he asked:
 Then, what in the dickens is the trouble?"
 T was j-just think-thinking," she re- turned ''how miserable I should be if you were to die and I w-were to marry s-some one who wouldn't appreciate all this magnificence.'

 OF THE EAGLES WHICH BEGINS TODAY

Dexter Avenue, from Court Square to The Advertiser building. and on Perry Street from Dexter Avenue to Wash ington Street. will present . brilliant scene. The electrical signs of vart- ous firms, augmented by the strings of vari-colored incandescents strung across the streets will make the streets as bright as day. The merchants have been requested to decorate the fronts of their stores and to keep the lights burning until the crowds dis perse from the streets.
 All of the attractions. both free and paid, will be brilliantly illuminated and will add to the brightness of the streets.
 The Executive Committee of the Street Fair, J. J. Sullivan. James w. Smith, Befto H. Johnson and Edward J. Mahoney. will have headquarters in front of the Jesse French Piano and Organ Co.,. and will cheerfully give out any information desired.
 The Committee declares that 1t should be understood that all the att fractions will be perfectly clean and of the order that every woman or child may attend without onense. Among tho paid shows will bc "Leonora," Q science-defying auick-change act, that has been favorably commented upon; The Mysterious Miss Jones'" a hypnotic act: The Old Plantation" minstrel act; fat boy. a turtle boy, a merry go-round. . Ferris Wheel. penny ar cade. the Eagles Country Store. min iature railroad. "The Great Train act of unusual briliiance and other att fractions.
 Then there will he baby racks. shooting galleries. etc.. which always add to a Fair.
 At every attraction there will be young women ticket takers and sellers representing the Eagles and in addi- ton employees of the Amusement Com pany. Courtesy is guaranteed,
 The Carnival Company arrived on a special train last night and immedi- ately began to unload. Everything is expected to be in running order by to- night.
 An effort is making to have . num- Der of special days during the week. The idea has been preached that g. Fraternal Day be set apart in which the lodges of every secret organiza- ton in Montgomery will participate. A Montgomery County Day has been spoken of. in which the farmers of the prosperous district surrounding Mont gomery will be the proprietors of the street Fuir district. In addition to this. one of the days may be set apart for the Eagles and the yea. year cry of the members of the popular and growing order will be the order of the occasion.
 The contest for the most popular city or County official is attracting considerable interest and friends of various office-holders are busying themselves in behalf of their favor ites. Recorder Arlington is still in the lead.

SOILS OF MONTGOMERY
WORK OF SURVEYING IN THIS
 COUNTY IN PROGRESS.
Messrs. McLendon and Mann, Govern ment Experts, are Making Maps and Analyxing Alabama
 Farm Lands.

The work of makin 6 an accurate map of the soils of Montgomery coun- ty has been inaugurated, and already much of the territory to be charted has been examined.
 It will very likely take the two men who have been assigned to the duty something like half year to complete it. These men are w. E.. Mc- Lendon, a graduate of a South Caro- lima school of agriculture and c. J. Mann, a young man who has just fin- tshed in one of the Illinois colleges.
 The work of surveying the soils of the county is conducted under the su- pervision of the Superintendent of the Soils Section of the National Depart ment of Agriculture. In many of the States in the North. East and West, the work has been going on for some years, and a great expanse of country in the territory mentioned has been covered.
 MT. McLendon has spent much of his time in the service in the West, with most of the present year in Michigan Though quite a young fellow, he has made scientific agriculture and reclaim ing of farm lands a close study and talks entertainingly of every phase of the work.
 lust now Messrs. McLendoR and Mann are at work about ten miles to the southwest of the city making care full examination of the soils and earth formations. They have found much to interest them in what has been scru- tinized. especially the black lands, which, they say, are very similar in constituency and productiveness to the notable black soils of Texas and the great producing section of the West. The different layers or stratas of earth are discovered by means of long au- gur, which bores out a core in such way as to compress 1t and make 1t show plainly what has been penetrat- ed with depth of each formation. This core is then carefully looked over while notes are made on a large out line map of the county of what has been discovered
 . Messrs. McLendon and Mann seem surprised at the lack of interest shown in their work by the farmers of the county in and around. whose places they have been working. As a usual thing there is intense curiosity about their investigations and many stop to ask questions and watch their actions. However. some have made inquiry and expressed a desire to know more of what is being done, and these will be shown every thing inspectors have a right to make public.

OFFICER SHOT NEGRO.
Black Fired on ODelika Policeman at
 Railroad Station.

Railroad Station.
 onelika. Oct. 30.--(SpeciaL )--Police- man ]. I. Heath, of the opeiika poNce force, at 10 o'clock last night shot Charles White, a negro man. who died at o'clock this morning from the ef- fects of the wound.
 About o'clock last night negro woman went to police headquarters ana stated that White was at the depot drinking and attempting to raise a dif- ficulty with some negro women. The officers thinking 1t was ain ordinary ne- gro row, paid no attention to 1t, but about an hour later, Homer Fuller. the night operator at the depot tele- phoned the policemen that a negro was at the depot attempting to raise a difti- culty and to come and arrest him.
 oficers Heath and Blackmon went down and were informed that White had been threatening or attempting to shoot some negro passengers.
 White was pointed out to the officers who started towards him to arrest him. He went around the corner of the de- pot followed by the officers. Heath orr dered him to stop, when he turned around jerked out two pistols and fired at Heath narrowly missing him.
 He then retreated few steps and fired at Heath again. who returned the fire, hitting him and the ball passing through the body, the negro fell. The crowd in pursuit picked up the two pistols.
 Heath was acting in self defense and the shooting of the negro is considered justiflable.

Democratic Rally.

Huntsville. Oct. Especial. )- The Democratic Executive Committee has decided upon November as gen. eral rally day for the Democratic vot- CTS of Madison County and prominent speakers will appear in nearly every precinct of the County. Congressman Richardson, Judge Paul Speake, State Senator Spragins, John H. Wallace. Jr., and several others, will speak. . The campaign in this County has been the dullest presidential campaign ever known. The Republicans are not strong enough to make the contest in- teresting and the politicians fear that the Democratic vote will not show the strength of the party. The Parker and Davis Campaign Comimttee has is- sued an address to the Democrats to go to the polls and vote and show the full strength of the party so the Re- pubIIcans cannot back their arguments favoring a reduction of representation by directing attention to the scant vote
