pointed out distinctly that it was
the duty of parents to bring the
children to baptism, thus initia-
ting them and making them
members Of the christian church.
He reminded the congregation
that the parents of the Holy
Child Jesus took him to the ten
pie on the rubrical day which is
the eighth day after birth, low
ingly putting him into the arms
Of the priest. The temple was
the first place to which he was
taken when first carried out of
doors after birth.

The season now Of greatest mil tn
Bids fair to come in early.
Tho it makes us gather round the hearth,
The fact is shown quite clearly
That soon with cloaks and caps of fur
Well all be snugly bundled
While waiting for Professor Dewar
To tell Us where we've blundered,
And send us home with beating hearts
And faces like sledge hammers.
Perhaps we'll all forget our parts,
And need be told our manners. n s.ss ys
But out in the bracing air
With the white snow curling round us,
Well soon forget that parting stare,
And things that did confound US.
The skating rink holds charms for all
And out on it's CLASSY surface,
With many curve and many fall
n'sstrange what does preserve US.

Winter comes in all its glory,

Eut it is the same old story
Which began SO long ago.
Winter comes but once year
1t cannot squeeze in twice

It is the Liygest slice.
When winter comes prancing
And a-knocking at our door, &
We suppose it's time for dancing.
And a-pegging on the floor.

And in their place once more
We FL d our nose grows rosy red,

RooseveIt's Grandfather.

St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
 Tt is an almost forgotten historical fact that the grandfather of Presi- dent Roosevelt was the first man to navigate a steamboat on the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers" MT. Charles C.. Allen tells me.
 Captain Roosevelt was a warm per- sonal friend of Robert Fulton, the in- ventor of steam craft, and soon after Fulton's successful voyage on the. Hud- son he conceived the idea of launch ing such a vessel on the western rivers. A good deal of doubt was ex- pressed as to the practicability of the undertaking, but Captain Roosevelt was enthusiastic, and along about 1910 made a personal survey of the Ohio and Lower Mississippi to determine its feasibility beyond all peradventure.
 The result of his survey was en- tirely satisfactory. and, returning to Pittsburg, he began the construction of a steamboat from plans furnished him by Fulton and Livingstone. In the spring of 1911 the vessel, was launched, and, accompanied by his wife. who had the true pioneer spirit and refused to be left behind, the Presi- dents grandfather began his voyage down the Ohio. He entered the Mis- sissippi during the throes of the earth quake which devastated so much of Southeastern Missouri, but weathered tumult successfully and continued his trip to New Orleans, where he arrived a short time after, the first man to build a steamboat west of the Allegha- nies and the first to navigate one on western waters.
 Tt is an interesting historical fact in itself and doubly interesting for ex- isting reasons"

An Explaining Explanation.

Charlotte Observer.
 The Montgomery Advertiser fires
 these two questions:
 "Will The Charlotte Observer kindly tell us whence 1t derives the name | 'sowpaw' for whiskey? That's a new one on us, and we want to know the whereforeness of 1t. And while we
 are about 1t. will it stop crediting our editorials to The Nashville American?" Answering the last question first, it will "to its best endeavor." The Mont gomery Advertiser and The Nashville American are so much alike, thinking the same way, and always rightly, and
 both are of so great and so nearly equal excellence. that we sometimes get them pied up in our minds No kick Is coming, for either can afford to stand to anything the other says. (Ahem.
 Christmas trade for you both.) As to
 the first question "sowpaw." is West years ago there was in a Western North Carolina town a crippled fakir who bottled and peddled in back lots a
 remedy. which cured anything from
 corns to consumption. Upon this im-
 mortal preparation he bestowed the
 paw" It's, basis was white corn whis- key and 1t was nearly all basis. It sprang into instant popularity, and when, through the operation of unfeel- ing laws its manufaeturer-who him self came to be known as Sowpaw W
 seemed but natural to the community to transfer the name of his remedy to white corn whiskey, and by easy stages 1t became the generic name of all liquids which enjoyed the stimulative properties that belong to sowpaw. It IS hoped that this elucidation satisfies the interest of our esteemed Alabama contemporary

A Noble Work. Athens C0I1rier

|
 For some time The Montgomery Ad- vertiser has been making an unceasing warfare on the gamblers of the Capi- tai City and her cartoons and edito- rials and news articles have caused d great commotion in the city on the Ala bama, but the gamblers still thrived because one Alexander who went from Tennessee to that good old town had rented a hotel and had fitted the third bling, and in the office had been strung wires, which the clerk could simply touch and warn all above that danger lurked near. and the gambler could hide out but The Advertiser kept so hot after the den that one of the police captains, arrayed in citizens clothes, stood opposite the hotel night after night and watched until he saw the vigilant clerk walk from behind the desk where were hid the electric but tons that served to give warning, and seat himself at the stove in the office. The time had come. The police cap tain sent In his signal to the police headquarters, then ne quietly walked into the hotel office, and as the clerk started for his position behind the desk. he was warned to stand back, and the with mauls and battered down the doors leading to the gambling dens and captured a dozen or more of the gents at play. Some had fled to adjoin- ing rooms and scurried to bed with their colthes on, but this ruse did not work. Several hundred dollars was found on the players, and all the men vertiser told in most graphic manner the exciting events following the raid. No nobler work could 1t do than to rid the city of these robbers.

The Advertiser Christmas Edition.

BeSSemer weekly.
 The Christmas edition of The Mont gonery Advertiser containing ninety two pages of printed matter is one of the most stupendous and from every standpoint one of the most creditable editions of a newspaper ever issued in this country, North or South. It was of special interest. as the reading mat ter including descriptive articles, f1c- tion and verse, furnished almost en- tirely by we'll known Alabama writers. MT. Bruce Kennedy, who had the edi- ton in charge, is to be congratulated on bringing to a successful conclusion so enormous an undertaking. Judging from the large number of advertise- ments the issue must have proved highly profitable. The edition teens with good things.
 (The Weekly follows up this kind notice with resume of good things in the Christmas edition, but fails to mention cne of it's best features. 9 beautiful contribution by Miss Lulu Judson. one of its own staff.-Ed. Ad- Vertiser.)

FOR THE PUBLIC SAFETY.

We have recently seen what appears to be an official statement to the ef- feet that fully 3e per cent of railroad accidents are caused by disobedience of orders. or by negligence or carelessness in observing the orders. such as for getting to stop or switch at the place designated. falling to notice danger signals, and other faults of like nature. In short. more than one-thfrd of the disasters on railroads result from care- lessness or negligence on the part of those upon whose vigilance depends the safety of trains and passengers.
 The question that should be, but is not settled. is. How many of these lapses were due to overwork of the employees? If they or any of them were required to work beyond the limit of human endurance 1t Is plain that all the blame should not rest on the employees. but on the employers. That some of the railroad corporations are getting their eyes open to this truth is proven by the fact that The Chicago and Northwestern Railway Company has sent out the following circular to all the officials of its sys- tenn:
 See that minimum time is absolute. ly afforded train and engine crews for rest, as follows:
 Men ten hours or less on duty, eight hours rest, minimum.
 Men twelve hours or more on duty, twelve hours rest minimum.
 Men fourteen hours on duty, or more. twelve hours rest, minimum.
 Keep before the train dispatcher such record of movement of crews as abso- lutely will prevent an engineman or tratnman from going out on run without the full allotted time for rest.
 If these directions are fully carried out we feel no hesitation in saying that 1t will not only be showing proper consideration for the employees of the road, but will go a long way towards ensuring the safety of the travelling public. More than that, we may reasonably assume that such regula- tions will not only assure better ser vice, but the trainmen of all grades will strive harder to render efficient service, because they will feel that the employer corporation has proper re- gard for their physical demands while at the same time 1t is arranging for better service. We have little doubt that the result will be satisfactory, and that other railroad systems will be induced or forced to adopt and main- tain similar policy.

A JUDGE ON KISSING.

Some days ago Judge McMichael. of Philadelphia, in delivering his charge to jury felt 1t incumbent on him to delve into the mysteries and ethics of kissing. The case was one of damages claimed for stolen kiss, and the learn ed exponent of law and justice got off some axioms as a means of enlighten- ing the jury on the important question before them. Among other things, he told them that "the only kind of kiss ing permissible under the law is the kind that occurs in the parlor when the lights are turned low" Then he went on:
 Kissing is dangerous and should be avoided The cause of the Trojan war is generally attributed to a woman and a mans desire for kisses.
 The only safe kiss that can be given is the one after which no tales are told
 A stolen kiss Is no different from any other stolen article. No restitu- tion can be made and it is therefore more grievous.
 We do not know just what brands of kisses are permissible" under the laws of Philadelphia, but are confident that this judge is drawing the lines much more closely than would be allowed to contro! the diversion in other places To intimate that a pair of warm young people cannot kiss at eny time or place except in a parlor when the lights are turned down is putting on limit that will not be gen. orally submitted to. There are other times and places when the sport is natural, proper and altogether legal.
 Then this judge appears to have got ten thls modern fad into his head that kisses are full of microbes and there fore should be cut out of the game We don't know what else he means by declaring that they are dangerous What young person is going to be shut off from the game by any such warn ing Gs that? There may be germs in kisses, just as there are in other good things, but shall humanity suffer and starve because there may be a microbe lying in wait for kisser and kissee? ? Not on your life if we understand any thing of human nature.
 We can agree with the judge when he says that the safe kiss Is "the one after which no tales are told" There should be no telling about .t. As Lady Mary wortley Montague makes Lord Lyttleton say: Tn short, my Sseary. kiss me and be quiet" That ( Tho proper way to look at it. As Z ae judges diction that stolen z 1 not different from any other ticle, and that there is no lake restitution. we do not be- v wv word of 1t. Is not returning Y .lhtolen article making restitution? ? v cannot the debt be paid in kind so Ns to satisfy the kissee? We don't know what better restitution any one could make than that. There may have been some aggravated circumstances in the Philadelphia case which would make a suit for damages proper, but some of the judges deliverances will not meet with general approval.

Sidewalk PencilingS
Fnrmerr Must Act Together.

If the cotton growers of the South want to get a good price for the crop raised next year they have the key to the situation in their own hands Il of the resoluting and associating that can be gotten up will do no good If farmers themselves do not make and adhere to one resolution and that is plant at least one-third less in 1905 than was planted in 1904.
 Tt Is sickening to read of the fool ish men over at Fort Gaines, Ga, burn ing some of their cotton with a view to reducing the surplus. Very few are going to do so foolish and wicked a thing as that. Reduction in acreage is all that will prevent scent cotton next year"

One Reason for Bad Neeroe..

T employ a good many negro labor CTS and have dealings with many negro tenants" remarked a farmer yesterday One of the best reasons for negro law lessness and depravity that I have heard advanced came from one of my tenants, who said that much of it was due to the promptness with which white men went on the bonds of negroes who were indicted for offences that did not touch white people. They will not go on his bond if his trouble Is with a white man, but they will for almost anything else and take him to work.
 This is not calculated to break up the gambling, the liquor selling. and the adultery that prevails to so alarm ing an extent
 Good negroes deplore these things, and feel that 1t reflects on them and would be glad to see those guilty of these misdemeanors punished for it. As long as the bad ones think they can be easily bonded out. they will con tinue in their devilment and lawless- ness"
