~ HANDSOME, weIl-illustrated pub
VIZ LEGATION is Bulletin No. 6s, just
issued by the Bureau of Animal
Industry of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, with the title, Tn
formation Concerning the Mich Goats"
Mr.. George Fayette Thompson is the ed-
tor, and he has one desire in life, which
is to persuade every man who is not de-
irving a sufficient income from his pres
ent employment every family which is de-
prived of pleasant companionship, to keep
a goat, milch goat, or a herd of goats.
There are millions in goats, and health,
happiness and content.
Americans have lacked Enterprise in
neglecting the milch goat. Every other
country where there Is a high range of
intelligence and thrift has used the
goats kindly offices. The goat thrives
and affords large part of the poor
familys income and sustenance, from
Switzerland to the mountain ranges of
Tibet; from 1ndo- China to the bleak and
rocky region of Hammerfest, Norway;
from the plains of Astrakhan to Egypt
and from Siberia to the African jungle
under the Equator Long-haired goats
will stand the torrid heat and short
haired goats will do their duty in the
frigid zone, and everywhere they are
the true friend of man.
Listen to some statistics. and see how
the scoffer and the American humorist
are put down by a plain tale. Germany
at the beginning of the last decaue had
s11 ,O00,0 600 worth of mich goats. and the
products sold from these goats in milk
and in goats and kids for the market
returned more than s39. 100000 annually.
Little Switzerland reaps a harvest Of
5000 600 year from it's goats milk,
and throughout Europe the income from
the goat is enormous.
The case for the goat is strong one.
Goats milk is richer in nourishing
qualities than cows milk; it is the prime
food for infants; it makes good butter
and cheese. and is not only Invaluable
for consumptives and those of weak con-
stitution. but as the goat Is free from
tuberculosis, its milk is above suspicion.
The goat is a more profitable animal
than the COW. 1t will work more and
ask less The motto of the goat is plenty
to do and little to get. The industrious
goat gives much more milk in proportion
to its body weight than the COW. and is
satisfied with very little food, and with
food of low cost or it will pick up a

Railroad Officials.

j. T. Harahan, second vice president
of the Illinois Central, stopped in Birming-
ham for a few hours on his way from
New Orleans to the International Rail-
way congress, which meets in Washing
ton this week. His son, w. j. Harahan,
fourth vice president of the Illinois Cen
trail was here with his father, and left
yesterday at noon on the Frisco for Mem
phis.
The two railroad officials were accom-
panied by A. S. Baldwin, engineer of
construction, who went through to Mem
phis with the Fourth Vice President. The
Harahans conferred with no railroad men
here.
Both the elder Mr.. Harahan and Mr..
Baldwin are well known in Birmingham,
as both of them were located here while
they were connected with Louisville and
Nashville. The former was superintend-
ent of the South and North nearly a
score of years ago and afterwards be-
came general manager of the Louisville
and Nashville. The latter was engineer
OF construction for the South and North.

have been sadly mistaken in thinking
that Rails I'LL was a bandit with low

Rails Ull Dead is a man of very high
ideals whose only hope to withstand
tyranny was to attract International at

ner. so Perdicaris says. and is not a bad
man at all. Perdicaris certainly ought to
know more about Rails Uli than any body
else in the United States just now, for
he had splendid opportunity to become
acquainted with his captor.
That was striking scene presented nv
the President and his party attending
church services at the "Old Blue school
house on West Divide creek in Colorado.
There we caught a glimpse of a really
great man. He stood in that rough, IN
pretentious crowd without affectation and
without the slightest look or gesture to
shake the conviction that they gazed on
friend and equal-a man, strong, bold
and full of the vigor of life, like them
selves His voice was heard above all
the rest In the simple hymns that must
have been anything but musical and after
the uncouth sermon had been concluded.
he shook hands with every member az
that strange congregation. The flock,
addressed by the Rev. Mann held one
person who occupies the loftiest station
in the world. yet there was neither the
fanfare of trumpets, the blare of bands
nor the brilliant retinue of state He was
just a man and an American.

A FEW DoN'Ts.

Don't juggle with other peoples money,
Don't tamper with what's not your own;
Don't trifie with speculative bubble,
Don't steal money as a loan.
Don't be plunger in the market.
Don't be a bull or bear;
Trying to make a million in a minute
Often gives fellow gray hair.
Don't roll them high on the credit,
Don't make bills you can not pay;
Don't get fancy with the ponies,
Don't be funny, or too gay
Don't tell a lie unless you have to,
Don't believe everything you hear;
Don't be smart-just sensible,
Don't miss your outing every year
The sentiment revealed by Ion Perdi-
carts when he praises his late captor Rails
Uli, is admirable, to say no more We

charge of the office here. I'VE get some-
thing like an average of As recruits for

ton every month. This office stands about
eighteenth in the list, which consists of
three times that number of stations.

men that 1t is possible to obtain, so that
in future years they will still be in

work here was well done"

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR

From the New York Press.
You can always keep cook when she
isn't any good.
A woman is always fatter than she
looks unless she is thinner than she looks
1t makes woman terribly happy to be
unhappy because she loves man SC
much.
This would be a pretty dreary world
for women If there was no chance in II
for them to show OH.
A woman never gets so old she thinks
some man ought not to chase her, and
a man never so old he thinks he ought
not to chase some woman.

The street car conductors of Birming-
ham are complaining that the lady hog
who places an infant on a seat and
makes adults stand up, instead of hold
ing the child in her lap. has made the
old time end-seat hog appear quite an
affable and kindly person. OF course the
child does not pay any fare but he takes
up seat that is nearly always wanted
by some one who has parted with a
niclxle for the privilege of riding. The
conductors voice their woes with much
.wagging of the head. for they know too

it is to inform a mother that her off,

really necessary. 1t is astonishing how
viciously one of these gentle creatures
can eye man sometimes.

The man who yawns.
Oft his jaws fall wide apart.
Then he wakes up with start.

And his slumber's mighty deep,
Swears a job is hard to keep,
The man who yawns.
Looks just like he hates to walk,
Shows he doesn't want to talk,
The man who yawns.

Free from troubles and from care.
The man who yawns--
He would sleep a week or so,
Pack his grip and quickly go
Where the cooling breezes blow,
