The Old Piano

l hate to see the old thing go, with
all it's harsh discords,
Its antique frame, it's yellow keys,
it's huge, ungainly frame;
For memory of other days it's pres
ence there Affords
Without it's old familiar tones life
will not be the same.
From out the mist of gathered years
hear it's mellow notes;
Upon the air of memory the swelling
music floats;
l hear again the loved old songs from
happy, youthful throats-
"Way down upon the Suanee river,
Far, far away;
There's where ny heart is turning
ever,
There's where the old folks stay"
Good by-'tis hard to part from you
but you are out of date.
The old must give way to the new
as years with swiftness fly.
But tears bedim my eyes, old friend
as you go to your fate
And so, my old piano, 1 must say a
last ''goodby."
You stood in state the morn my eyes
first saw the light of day,
The monarch of the best front room
a precinct set apart
And oft with awe l gazed on you in
boyhood's earnest way,
And oft, SO oft, your melodies have
touched my boyish heart.
1 hear again the old. old tunes come
from your rusty strings;
Once more the sweet old melodies
the old time chorus sings,
And back again the Gays of youth fly
fast on memory's wings
"The moon shines bright on the ole
| Kentucky home;
| Tis summer, the darkeys are gay
The corn tops ripe and the mead
| ows are in bloom,
| While the birds make music al
the day"
Farewell old instrument = you've
| served your earthly mission well
You've done your part to give life
Joy; your end is drawing nigh.
And yet, old friend. tie grief l fee
my tongue can never tell
1 brush away my falling tears ant
whisper low, "goodby."
Your. ringing notes the wedding
March" flung on to happy air
When sister stood beneath the bel
and took another's name.
Your plaintive airs were waited low
wher bowed by weight of care
My mother smiled her last farewell
as Deaths dark angel came.

Brain Leaks

The really self-made man never
boasts of his architecture.
The gospel in the heart is better
than a sword in each hand.
Envy is a disease from which those
who do their best are immune.
1t is better to make haste in begin
1.iEg than to make haste to finish up.
The best way to prepare for the
big tasks is to faithfully perform the
little ones.
Before men can become brothers
they must acknowledge sonship of
one Father.
Men who occupy lowly place have
The advantage of a good running start.
Sympathy for the under dog should
not lead us to sympathize with the
wrong.
Friendship may turn aside at the
first lane, but love goes to the end of
the journey.
Too many men expect to be "broth-
er-in-lawed" into heaven on their
vifes religion.
More men are won to the right by
picturing it's joys than are won from
evil by picturing it's sorrows.
The luckiest men we know are the
men who had sense enough to work
hard, live frugally and keep sweet.
Men who are puzzled about the
problem of the hereafter might find
the solution in attending well to the
here.
A country bred woman who moves

Through joy, through tears, you've
been friend so sterling, staunch
and true;
You've played your way into our
hearts life's toilsome journey
through.
In life, in death, whate'er betide, we
always sang with you
Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer to Thee.
Fen though it be cross
That raiseth me-"
Hark. From your time-worn yellow
keys I catch last refrain
An echo from the distant days when
bright dreams arched the sky
Forth on the air those melodies o~.ne
floating once again,
And for the last time I must turn
and --hisper low, "goodby."

Philanthropic

After having handed over to the
burglar all that we had that was port
able, we were very much interested
to see him divide the swag into two
unequal heaps.
"Why this division?" we asked Won
deringly.
The burglar finished his work of di-
vision before replying. Carefully
slowing the valuables in different
pockets, he said:
sThe smalle~ of the two piles goes
to philanthropy. l have found this
sort of division to be both popular
and effective 1t softens the resent
ment of my victims and gives me a
good financial standing among the peo-
p, at large"
For several hours after the burglar
withdrew we could not refrain from
thinking about it. And yet, we could
not but feel that we had not only been
despoiled but that our despoiler had
used our valuables to purchase i'm
munity.

for your neighbor's house. and you have the cards: the child's name, the fact that his son sailed on the Etruria and is now due In Queenstown, or that his daughter went away to school yes- terday, or that you heard something to his credit this morning. It doesn't cost much after a little schooling of the mind, but 1t counts for thousands!
 Perhaps, after all, I am wrong. It may be that the sort of things I have been talking about would cost a great deal of effort in a man or woman who finds 1t unnatural. It may be that these tokens of good will are impossible to a mean and selfish nature. They are however, to the truly generous like wild flowers on fat soil-easily grown even among weeds and along the very borders of the garden. It may be that many people could work themselves up to the performance of a huge and costly kindness who could hardly be civil In a railway car If you had inadvertently taken their seat. An elephant can be pitchforked till he dances, but a happy child dances from very joy No paint ever equals the sunshine. No base, bad heart can be neat in his kindness; he is a very sloven. a bungling giant fingers attempting to thread a needle while the drops of sweat stand on his puckered brow.

WILL PLAY IN MOBILE
THE MONTGOMERY CITY BAND IS
 ENGAGED.
Twenty-six Local Musicians Will Fur nish Music for the Mardi Gras in Alabama's Gulf
 City.

Duncan May, manager of the Mont gomery City Band, has closed con- tract with the Mobile Mardi Gras As- sociation for the services of that or- ganization during the mardi gras fes- tivities.
 On Sunday, March 5, Mir. May will take twenty six musicians and Prof. George F. Lindner, director of the band, to the Gulf City, where the band will play in several of the mystic pa- rades, the Coronation, Ball and in ad- dition will give open air concerts.
 The Montgomery City Band was or- ganized by Captain A. G. Forbes and Mir. May several months ago. After many weeks of systematic practice un- der the able tutorship of Prof. Lindner. the band made its initial appearance in Montgomery and the entire community realized that for the first time in the history of Montgomery there was a band in the city that reflected credit on the Capital City of Alabama.
 Mir. May justly regards this engage ment as a high compliment. as the Mo- bile Mardi Gras Association has a rep utation for securing the best available bands for its carnival.
 Tt is pleasing to me to note that for the first time Montgomery is sending a band to another city," said MT. May. Previously some nonresident band has been coming to Montgomery and I'm delighted to see this reciprocity ,"
 The band will take comets, trom- bones, aboes, baritones, tenors. French horns, clarionets, flutes, piccolas and drums as we'll as orchestra instru- ments,

WILL SERVE A PURPOSE.
A Good Sign When People Awake
 Their Interests.

Their Interests.
 New York Journal of Currency
 The three days convention at New Orleans this week, of representatives of cotton growers and business men con- cerned with the marketing of the cot ton crop, does not appear to have been very fruitful in immediate results, but it will serve useful purpose. It is a good sign that these people are so awake to their interests as to meet for discussion and an exchange of views and to unite in efforts to promote these interests in a practical way. It will have the effect of spreading enlighten- ment among the planters, great and small, and among the dealers in cotton and the bankers who assist in handling it, and it can not fail to promote in- dustrial and commercial progress in that section of the country. Whatever mistakes may be made in practical measures will be corrected by experi- ence, and it is only through experience that solid advancement can be made.
 "The one definite thing directly af- fecting the future of cotton decided upon by the convention was advising a reduction of acreage by 25 per cent this year, and providing for an organized effort to give it effect. We have ing the wisdom of this. and 1t appears to us that it can only be prevented from doing harm by the failure of considerable part of the cotton growing interest to FOLLOW the auVlce. Ihere IS always a tendency, after full crop and a low price, to curtail production too much. just as there is a tendency after a season of high price to overproduce, and what is most needed is to moderate both tendencies rather than to intensity either. The effort to adjust supply to demand within reasonable limits is commendable, and 1t requires an ex- tended cooperation; but it needs to be done in a Judicious and far-sighted manner with due recognition of the uncertainties of seasons and of the effect of extreme measures in either direction. The producers need to be warned against curtailihg too much as well as against producing, and a reduction of acreage from 32O0O,00O to 24.000,000 may have disastrous results while a reduction of 10 per cent would in all probability be sufficient to insure a remunerative price and a good mar ket"

Indeed. the minimizing civiIity which is already done before you are aware of It, the spontaneous, small courtesy that adorns politeness, like frosting on siI- yer surfaces. and the rhythmic grace of pretty proffers with a genteel speech -these do bespeak a genuine good heart. They give the pIoughman a poe fitness richer than the waxed Adonis of the salon can generally boast; they lend an added glory to true woman- hood; they beautify little children more than their silks and furbelows; they make the statesman magnetic" and transform the philosopher from a bore to a charming companion; they are indispensable to the clergyman. who would win wayward youth; they make a welcome for the family physician, as their lack often costs a physician many valuable patron with sensitive nerves and large purse.

JACKSON COURT HOUSE,
Controversy to Be Submitted to
 nrAme CnuPk.

Controversy to Be Submitted to Su-
 preme Court
 case will be submitted to the Su- preme Court of Alabama today or dur ing the week which will determine whether Jackson County will soon have a new $30,0O0 court house.
 The appeal is from the Jackson County Chancery Court in the case of W. J. Tally. ct al vs. the Board of County Commissioners of Jackson
 Recently Dobson and Bynum, of Montgomery, were awarded the con tract for a new court house in Jack son County at Scottsboro by the County Commissioners. The amount of the contract based on the estimate of B. B. Smith, of Montgomery was $30,- OO0
 The contractors were about to pro- ced to build the court house when they halted their work upon being mo- titled that the validity of the contract was to be questioned. W. J. Tally and others procured an injunction against the Board of County Commissioners, prohibiting them from issuing the war rant provided for in the award of the contract.
 The assailants of the new court house make tbe sensational charge that the contract was awarded with out the board having advertised for bids and that the court house could be built for less sum than that stip- ula ted.
 The case has been before the su preme Court more than once before, but was not submitted on account of con trary motions. It is believed. how ever that this week the formal sub mission will be made on the merits of the case
