flowers.
A simple, selfish truth reveals the cause.
We are jealous of the friend alive; dead
he can do no harm.

strictly speaking this JOY is forbidden the

The present educational system is an
effective and refining one. The govern
ment provides female normal schools, the
mousme grasp their opportunity as eager
ly as do their brothers. There are many
missionary and kindergarten schools, but
owing to a recent and unfortunate fric-
ton with the japanese government, some
of the former have lately been closed.
1t is, however, open to doubt if this new
education fits the Japanese maiden for the
life OF suppression she enters on her we'd

lives and smothered aspirations, many con-
sider female education in Japan a failure,

brighter future for the japanese woman.

Miss Thurston Charmed Audience.

Miss ThuretOn Charmed Audience. E Miss Adelaide Thurston Is a great favorite in Montgomery. and Polly Primrose" is such a truly Southern play that 1t would be a satisfactory vehicle for any actress before a Mont gomery audience.
 For these reasons, perhaps the larg- est matinee audience of the season saw the little woman at the Montgomery Theatre yesterday .. afternoon and a good sized audience saw the play last night, although the play and the act ress had been seen previously by two large Montgomery audiences. Miss Thurston is still the attractive little woman who charmed us with The Little Minister" Sweet Clover" and At Cosy Corners" Her voice has lost none of its sweetness, her manner has lost none. of its charm. her per sonality has lost none of its magnet ism. She Is even more the finished actress.
 Polly Primrose';s has been reviewed before. and nothing additional is to be said of the clever war story written by Paul Wilstach. Since it was first played in Montgomery 1t has been re- touched and rough places have been smoothed.
 Wilstach Brothers have given Miss Thurston practically the same sup porting company she had last year. Brimsley Shaw, who takes the male lead, Hugh Carlisle" is far better actor and a more handsome man than Francis x. Hope. who formerly played the hero parts to Miss Thurston. His handsome figure makes him a favorite with the matinee audiences and his good acting wins favor with critical persons.
 MT. Hope is the stage manager and director of the production and the careful presentation indicated that he has not labored in vain.
 The production as usual was we'll costumed and we'll staged.

NINTH CIRCUIT BALLOT
NAMES OF DEMOCRATIC CANDI- DATES ARE FIXED.
Chairman Mallory of State Committee Came to Montgomery to Assist fin
 Removing Embarrassment of Party Men.

There will be no embarrassment as to the printing of the names of can- didates for judicial officers in the Ninth Circuit, on the official ballots for the November election.
 The name of Hon. W. W. Haralson, for judge. and Hon. R. c. Hunt for solicitor will be printed as the Demo- cratic candidates as if nothing had happened and that they had been nominated in the April primaries. A certificate that Messrs. Haralson and Hunt are the Democratic nominees was sent out yesterday by Secretary of State P. R. McDavid to all the Probats Judges in the Ninth Circuit. The ofas ficial ballots have not been printed in any of the counties. The Probate Judges are awaiting the receipt of this certificate.
 Chairman H. S. D. Mallory of the State Democratic Committee came from Selma yesterday to arrange the matter with the Secretary of State. He was met here by Hon. R. c. Hunt, the nominee in the Ninth Circuit for Soli- citor. g
 They had ascertained that there were no legal obstacles in the way of having the names placed on the official ballots. The law provides in a general way that the names of all candidates must have been certified to the Secretary of State thirty days before the election. But a saving clause was found in Section 8. This clause was put in to provide especially some way out of the difficulty when a candidate should die It provided, however, that in case of death or for any other reason a vacan- cy occurred on the ticket 1t might be filled within the thirty days without specially naming time limit for the amendment.
 All candidates in the Ninth Circuit had previously withdrawn their names of the successful candidates in the judicial convention ip the Ninth Circuit of October 26.
 The matter was satisfactorily arranE- ed and Chairman Mallory left last night for his home in Selma.

TO SUE ON CASE BOND
STATE WILL SEEK TO RECOVER FROM EX-TAx COLLECTOR.
Auditor Sowen VIII Today Authorize the Attorney General to Begin Action Against Former Mo-
 bile Ohicinl.

Auditor Thomas l.. Sowell, having waited a reasonable length of time for the settlement of the alleged shortage of former Tax Collector John Case Of Mobile County, will turn over the pa pers in the case this morning to At torney General Massey Wilson for such action as he may deem proper.
 Tn all probability Mir, Wilson will enter suit against the Fidelity Trust and Deposit Company of Maryland. sureties on MT. Cases bond. The suit will be brought to recover the amount Mir. Case was reported to be short by Assistant Examiner of Public Ac- counts G. F. Sedberry. which Is with interest in round numbers $l1,OOo. The papers in the case will include the report of Mir. Sedberry. and the cor respondence in the matter.
 Mir. Sowell, some time ago. made de- mand upon MT. Case and his bondsmen for the shortage reported by Mir. sed- berry. At that time he announced that he would wait a reasonable length of time for a reply and if a reply was not made. suit would be brought to recover the amount of the shortage.
 If the Attorney General institutes the suit as he will fin all probability. he will bring 1t in the City Court of Montgomery before Judge A. D. Sayre.
 It is regarded as certain that MT. Case and the bonding company will fight the suit to the bitter end.
 The Auditor has heard nothing di- rect from Mir. Case since the report of Mir. sedberry was filed.
 It will be remembered that Mir. Case retired from the Tax Collectors office of Mobile County some four years ago. He was Chief of Police when the short age was reported by Examiner Sed- berry. but he has been suspended from that office by Mayor Lyons of the Gulf City.

CURE FOR PRAIRIE DOGS.
Horned Frogs VIII Rid Farm of the
 PesIs.

Pesls.
 New York Tribune.
 Henry Perthell, a stock farmer has discovered that a few horned frogs when placed in a village of prairie dogs will quickly depopulate every hole.
 His crops and grass had suffered from the ravages of prairie dogs this season, and all the poisoning methods he tried failed to kill the little anil mals
 He observed that a village of the prairie dogs would sometimes be sud- denly deserted without apparent cause This led him to make an investigation In all the deserted villages he found horned frogs
 The thought occurred to him that perhaps they were an enemy of the prairie dogs. He captured several of the frogs and took them aO to a lively prairie dog village on another part of the ranch. He turned the frogs loose near the holes.
 When he visited this village the next day he found every prairie dog house deserted. The little animlas had gone to another part of the ranch, where there were busy at work establishing another town.
 Perthen scattered the horned frogs about in all of the prairie dog villages on his ranch and farm. and the prairie dogs have entirely disappeared from his land. It is supposed that they have taken up their homes on neighboring lands. It Is not thought that the horn | ed frogs attack the prairie dogs. They burrow in the holes and are in some l manner offensive to the rodents. Horned frogs have another good point. They are known to be vora. cious eaters of the big red ants which | are found in the Southwest These ants have a painful sting, and in some localities they are a serious pest. Their big ground nests ruin | lawns and pastures, and 1t Is a diff l ficult matter to get rid of them. One horned frog turned loose in red ant bed will clear 1t up In a day.

Save for my daily range. Among the pleasant fields of Holy Writ I might despair. -Tennyson.
Fourth Quarter. Lesson V. 2 Kings VI s-x8, October 90, 1904.
 EIfsha at Dothan


 Next to an actual defeat for a com. manding office is the humiliation >ei having his strategic movements antici' pated by his enemy. Here is an old Bible story of how certain king in Syria was thus put to confusion He said in the secrecy of his coun' oil of war, T will make an ambuscadt for the unwary Iraelites nt such and such a point" But his intended vic- tims evaded his well-made trap Again he said, T will make a preda- tory fncursion upon the enemy's ter ritory at such and such a point" But behold, to his confusion he found the Israelites intrenched at that very point. at the very hour, in overwhelm- ing numbers and in battle array.
 The quaint narrative says this oc- cured not once nor twice. It haD- pened continually and persistently. So much so that the king knew 1t could not be a coincidence. He could only account for it by treason among his staff officers. So he cried in a rage, Who of us is for the King of Israeli" Some one in Benhaddad's s council of war knew how the enemy was informed of the Syrian's move ments, for he said, There Is no trail tor among us. O king, but Elisha, the P king Of Israel the words that thou speakest in they bed-chamber." Ben hadad showed the characteristic ob- tuseness of a heather when he under took to cope with the infinite power and wisdom of God. As if the Om- niscience which had kept Elisha in- formed of the kings secrets could not acquaint him with the danger of his own personl As if omnipotence could not rescue him!
 At break of day the prophet and his look down at Dothan, nestling there on the bench of the hill. an emblem of peace and security. The keen eye of the young man pierces beyond the city wall and through the gray of the morn ing. His eye dilates with wonder. His cheek bianches with fear. What has he seen7 The city invested, the Syrian cohorts gleaming with purple and gold and the sheen of their spears. There stand the chariots of brass. with tho pitiless sickle-blades in their wheels It wauld be a forlorn hope that would cast itself against the impenetrable living fortress. A cry escapes the young mans lips. "Alasi my master! How shall we doT' The prophet does not upbraid his timorous servant. He has a kindly sympathy. He Is solicit ous that he shall be confirmed and 'es- tabiished.
 The prophet himself is fearless. His faith is as immovable as the mountain on which he stands. But this trium- phant courage was not born of an inc stant--it is an evolution of years. He has witnessed the faithfulness of God in the emergencies of the sixty-three years in which he has held the pro phetic office. How confidently can he say to his trembling servant at his side, Fear not. for they that be with us are more than they that be with them" The prophet comments his servant to God. He asks for him that which he does not need for himself
