The American people are great on
"fads" and it was not SO long ago
that the fad was to drink a tumbler-
full of hot water in the morning.
Then the fad was to eat teaspoon
full of salt the first thing IN the
morning. Then the fad was to go
out bare-footed when the dew was
on the grass. And now the fad is to
drink sour milk. Pretty soon the
dairy men will be advertising in this
style: "The Never-dle DairY-sour
milk from lemon coiored COWS. All
milk that does not put the teeth on
edge may be returned. Our cows
are fed on pickles"

STICK TO ONE THING.

What would you think of shoe
maker who, after making a part of
a shoe, at last became dissatisfied
and started another shoe on a diff
ferent plan at last keeping up this
method until he has finally spent all
his money for stock and had moth
ing but a lot of unfinished shoes to
show for it. Foolish way to do,
isn't it? But it is no more foolish
than for man to tackle new line
of business every little while until
he grows too old to learn any bust
ness thoroughly. Every thing IN
nature is fitted to do one thing well
and spend its whole life doing it.
You never hear of the ant going in
to the honey making business; nor
bees building ant hills for a change.
Each one keeps its place i'll the
world and sticks to it, and that is
what boys must do if they would
accomplish great things. And re-
member always to keep your amb1-
ton up to the top notch. Whatever
you do, try to do it better than the
other fellow. At school make it a
point to stand at the head of your
class; and at play don't be satisfied
until you can Jump the farthest
or throw the stralghtest Then when
you enter business life, this matter
of getting ahead will become a
habit.

The brave old boys are fast 60
ing to the eternal bivouac. Not
since 1899, when the deathroll of
the Grand Army OF the Republic
was phenomenal has there been so
large a number of deaths in single
year as there was last year, the
total reaching 9,125, the total mem
bership Of the Grand Army now
being 232, 454. Within the next few
years, however, it may be expected
that there will be an increased
death rate, for the approximate age
of those who served in the civil war
will reach the allotted number of
years of man within the next de-
cade. The pension roll showed a
decrease last year of about 5000
names, but the decline will not be
as rapid in this as in the member
ship of the Grand Army, because
the q disability increases with age.
and there will be additional applica-
tons for pensions every year for
some time to come.

While life insurance has been
treated as matter of business 1t in
wolves much of the tenderest senti-
ment. The pillow OF many dying
man has been softened by the re-
Election that an insurance policy
would afford shelter for loved ones
otherwise unprovided for. Many
families would have been broken up
at the death of the bread winner but
for the avails of life insurance. Hus-
bands and fathers have made gener-
OILS sacrifice in saying the policy
when all other valuables were Slip
ping away. In sweet assurance have
premiums been paid when debts
were pressing and living came hard.
To destroy confidence in this method
of shielding tender loved ones from
the rough elements of perjury is
such a crime against humanity as is
seldom recorded in the annals of de-
pravity.

NEW DEPARTMENT WANTED
Secretary for the Colonies Is the Prop
ositiOn the President Will
Make.

washington, Oct. 24.-In President
ROosevelt's message to congress there
will be, almost unquestionably, a rec
ommendation that a new department
of government be established to take
charge Of the country's insular posses
sions. If congress acts favorably this
will mean a new cabinet officer and
the relieving OF three existing depart
ments of work that their chiefs have
found to be onerous. The war depart
ment has the Philippines, the state de
partment has Porto Rico and the navy
department has Guam.
The hardest work has fallen on the
war department through its burden OF
insular affairs. All the departments af
fected are earnestly in favor of 6
change which will bring relief. GOSSIP
already names the man for the new
place, If 1t be created. He is ColOne
Clarence r. Edwards, chief of the wa
departments bureau Of insular affairs
He is an Ohio man, a protege Of Nc
Kinley and Hanna in the old days, an(
is said to be well liked by the preSi
dent.

cute, but when it was demonstrated
that it must be the Panama canal or
nothing he favored the Panama route,
rs he wanted to see a canal built, and
one will be built. Notwithstanding the
efforts Of certain people who are striv-
lag by their circulation Of false ru-
mors or other methods to delay or de-
feat the construction of the canal, the
president said they will be disappoint-
ed, for there is going to be canal.
The president said: IF We bJild the
canal we must protect 1t and police il
ourselves. We must therefore bring up
and keep Up Our navy to the highest
point of efficiency. In the event Of
war the American people must rely
mainly upon it's volunteer soldiers.
While it is comparatively a simple act
to turn man into quite good sol
der you can neither improvise bat
tleship or the crew Of a battleship
It is not necessary that we should
have a particularly .arge navy, but it
is necessary that sajp for ship it
should be little the best in the
world"
The president concluded his speech
by referring to his pleasure at see
ing the children, the future citizens Of
this country. 1.-The fathers and moth
ers must see to it that the children
are properly trained in order to keep
I'D the standard of our country"
The president departed for Mont
gomery at 6:32 p. m.

THE COMING OF AUTUMN.

There is something in the coming
of Autumn that chills the human
heart. Death of the inanimate is a
grievious incident. The fall Of a
leaf, the whitening of flower, are
marked with a certain feeling of
depression by men.
That these creations of nature
will rise again, that life is not ex-
tinct in the roots now capped by
whitened foliage, are facts that
come to us only after mental effort,
and that without meditation fail to
quell heart-mutiny against the
funeral season Of all that grown
green. Unless we accept the scheme
of creation as of divine origin no
logic can cheer; no admission that
this is but the annual fulfillment of
one Of the rules that govern the uni
verse avails to dissolve the gloom
of the Autumn night.
Men cling to life. Be their way
smooth or stoney; bright with life's
sunshine, or darkened by sorrows
clouds, be existence whatever it
may-still self preservation is the
first law. And, loving life for self,
it is natural that we grieve at the
extinguishment of life in any form.
But God has been good in His ar
rangement of His creation. The Sc
quence of events is most pleasant,
viewed as whole. Without the
spice of variety, the roll of time
would find us weary of the things
that always were. All summer
would be as tiresome as all winter
1t is pleasing to think that fol-
every Autumn there is a coming
Spring and for every Winter q
Summer. The boy who hammered
LIS uuSCl UCCdu0O IL lOlI ~ SOOC
when he stopped was, after all, 6
philosopher. The pathos Of Autumn
is compensated thousand times by
the delight of Spring.
1t is SO with all Gods law. Whe1
the spirit rebels at some inexorabl,
rule of The Omnipotent, whe1
natural occurrences raise insured
ton IN the human heart, lool
through the lenses of intellect an(
find in the glass that recompens'
which a Divine Providence hal
prepared for every pang of nature,
dealing. And, finding solace, face
with a smile those simple tribula
tions, which, in the lasl analysis
you have found to be plain expires
sions of Heavens wisdom.

Hon. Olive j. Semmes, son of the
great Confederate Admiral Raphaei
Semmes, then presented to the presi-
dent and pinned upon the lapel of his
coat a handsome souvenir badge as
the gift of the people of Mobile. In
delivering the badge Judge Semmes
said it represented the loyalty of the
southern people to the nation, and de-
clared that should the necessity Of
defying a world in arms arise the
south would be found mighty camp.
He closed by declaring that the people
Of Mobile recognize 'fhat you, as is
shown by your later utterances, are
the president of the north and the
south, our whole country"
Judge Afford, chairman of the COM
mittee on arrangements. then intro
duced the president, who was briefly
and warmly welcomed by Mayor P J..
Lyons, who paid high tribute to him
as a man, statesman and a patriot.
The formal welcome was then deliv-
cred by Colonel Edward Lafayette
Russell, one of the foremost citizens of
Mobile and Alabama, and was highly
laudatory of the president as soldier,
statesman and citizen.
President Roosevelt was cheered as
he arose to speak. He thanked the
people for their magnificent reception,
and spoke a special word Of greeting
to the Confederate veterans who
formed a portion of his escort. He
referred to the fact that one of his
uncles was III Alabama during the
civil war. The last time he came
through Alabama, he said, he was go.
ing with his own regiment to the Span.
ish war, and in that regiment were
more men whose fathers wore the gray
than those who wore the blue. They
emulated but one spirit in common,
the spirit of seeing who could do most
for our flag.
Referring to the Panama canal the
president said he did his best to bring
about its completion for the benefit
Of the whole people, but particularly
for the benefit of the gulf states. Orig
inally he said he favored the Nicaragua
