COMMISSIONER TALKS OF NEW OR-
 LEANS CONVENTION.
Alabama's Agricultural Department Will Begin nt Once to Apply Rules Adopted by Cotton
 Growers to This state.

Commissioner of Agriculture R. R. Poole yesterday morning returned from New Orleans, where he attended the Interstate Cotton Convention.
 Commissioner Poole returns hopeful of the future of the South in the rais- ing of cotton. He says that if ever he attended a convention that was in earnest, the New Orleans Convention was such beyond doubt.
 T shall use all effort in my power to see that the details of the plan adopted for better prices in cotton at New Orleans are carried out" said Commissioner Poole yesterday
 On Feb. II every county in the State growing cotton will hold d convention and elect beat chairmen, whose duties it will be to see the cotton planters in their beats and impress on them the edict of the New Orleans Conven- tion.
 Efforts will be made to reach every cotton grower in every beat and get his signature to an agreement to cut down the acreage this year in cotton and reduce the amount of fertilizers to be used on the crops. The amounts of reductions thus ascertained in each county will be aggregated and sent to the State Executive Board"
 Commissioner Poole explained that the first convention of the perma- nent Interstate Association will be held in Asheville, N. C., and that on the basis of the cotton production of 1904 Alabama will send ten delegates The convention will be held on Aug. Is.
 Commissioner Poole's estimate of the Alabama attendance at the New Or leans convention places 1t at 1o5 dele gates.

Mascagni Taught an OrEan-GrindeP. Leslie's Weekly
 When Signor Mascagni was in Lon. don recently an organ grinder one day came and played under his window the famous intermezzo from "Cavalleria Rusticana As the man played he turned the handle of his organ faster and faster. until the air was more like q valse than an intermezzo. At last Mascagni could bear il no longer and, rushing out of the house. he gave the organ grinder q shilling. and said: T have heard that air at the opera, and ] think you are playing 1t too fast Let me show you how it ought to he played. The composer then played the intermezZo through in the proper time and went back to the house. A few days after the organ-grinder returned to the street and Mascagni was de- lighted to hear the intermezzo played in correct time But he was not so pleased when he looked out of the win dow and saw on the organ large placard bearing the words. Pupil of Signor Mascagni." Boosting of So il- lustrious preceptor. the wandering or ganist must have had thereafter a par ticularly prosperous musical season. But Mascagni had learned that it is sometimes better to bear our ills than to seek to remedy them.

IS mighty wicked town terribly wicked"
 And with this sentence. delivered in tones or severity, the interviewer re- membered for the first time that he was conversing with an evangelist as Beecher, and not a Manchester sales- man
 The conversation drifted to the cold weather. and to freezing water pipes. Mir. Jones spoke of the average plumb CT with much of the vinegary sar- casm with which he refers to the aver age drunkard.
 Plumbers prices brought on a refer eice to Thomas W. Lawson's "Frenzied Finance"
 There's men" said Mfr. Jones. "who is doing a great work for this country. He is causing people to think of what the land Is coming to financi- ally. Why, T believe firmly his statement that ten men will finally own the country"
 Well. Mir. Jones. don't you think he's insincere? You know ne's one of the gang"
 That's the reason. believe in him. If he was beggar boy you think he'd be an authority financer? No, sir. When I want to learn something about 'possum hunting l go and listen to a 'possum hunter talk. don't ask a professor of mathematics to tell me about the art"
 And Sam Jones had relapsed into the original style, which, after his re- Formation. brought him from the posi- tion of the Cartersville drayman to the South's greatest evangelist.
 Mir. Jones has changed but little In his appearance since last seen in Montgomery. His hair Is turning gray but his eye sparkles and his step Is elastic.
 ' He Is the kind of person one may talk to without unembarassment, and still recognize his greatness. These are the truly great.
 A whistle blew.
 There's my train" With remarkable agility he jumped to the platform. Good night, see you again, I hope"
 And Sam Jones, flew southward contentedly puffing his cigar.
