Three Methods of Derision.

There are very few illusions to
storks in Latin authors, but one of
these is interesting. The birds have a
curious custom of swapping their bills,
making quite sharp noise. Young
and old birds both during and after
the breeding season, constantly do this.
In the writings of Persius there is a
reference to this habit. There are"
he says. three favorite ways of derid-
ing Il manly putting the hands be
side the head like asses ears, by put
ting out the tongue like dog and
swapping the fingers against the palm
of the hand like a stork's bill" The
first two methods of mockery are plain,
but what was the cause of the last?-

pr. Owen Congratulated.

There was a stream of visitors yes- terday to the office of the State Depart ment of Archives and History at the Capitol to congratulate Dr. Thomas M. owen, who had just returned from the Confederate reunion in Louisville, upon his unanimous election to the office or Commander-inC Chief of the United Sons of Confederate Veterans.
 Dr. owen was enthusiastic in his praise of the Louisville people for their treatment of the veterans and the great crowd of visitors. He said 1t was one of the most successful reunions in re- cent years.
 q fully appreciate the high honor and the great responsibility conferred upon me by the Sons" said Dr. Owen. II have been giving myself over to pleas ure since the adjournment in Louisville, but in a few days hope to have some matters of general importance to make public as to what we hope to accom- plish during the next year. The excel lent condition of the Alabama Division Is naturally very gratifying to me. ard I have been pledged the support of the commanders of other States. This is a great work in which we are engaged, and I believe the Sons of Veterans can do some effective work during the next year."

LImItIess Possibilities of Automobiles

That there are limitless possibilities for the automobile, and that one of the early probabilities Is the elimination of the horse as a work animal, Is the view of John Jacob Astor. as expressed in Golfers. He says:
 The business automobile has but reached the horizon of its large fields From delivering tons of coal in cities to the rural delivery of mails in scat tered villages and for all kinds of Ns termediate work Its utility Is extend ing. The working horses elimination from large cities WiM be welcomed by every lover of animals. Horses falling on ley pavements, or suffering acutely during summer. will soon. We all hope be forever past, while the problem of street maintenance and cleaning will be practically solved
 The farmer whose horses have blow ed all day and who with his family naturally needs recreation when the work is done, will invoke his automo- bile that. as stationary engine may have been cutting feed, saving wood or what not, switch the motive power to the driving wheels, and with a joy ful "all aboard be off to the nearest town, though 1t may be miles away.
 '@The touring car will become a great factor in education and recreation modations will be used for any journey from the Atlantic to the Pacific, or for an agreeable jaunt when the leaves be- gin to fall. from Hudson Bay to Pan- anna, or may be Patagonia; while the small runabout will become @ household necessity.

THE REAL MISTAKE.

The Richmond News-Leader says that. so far as known. but one un- happy incident occurred to mar the reunion of ex-Confederate soldiers at Louisville This was the refusal of a Confedets'. office. to sit ;n the sarle koom with a Federal officer, Colonel Russell, accredited from the Indian Territory and appointed on tho Com mittee on Resolutions, followed by de- mands from the floor that the Federal officer be taken off the Committee. The demand was obeyed."
 With due respect to our Richmond contemporary, we are sure that the veterans generally will not agree with 1t. There was mistake made. and a very serious one. but the mistake lay in appointing a Federal veteran as a delegate to a Confederate reunion, and that mistake was 1sccntuated by put ling him on one of the important com mittees.
 The Advertiser yields to none in its desire for complete harmony and good feeling between the veterans of the two sides but there is right and a wrong way to exhibit and practice that harmony and good feeling. These Confederate reunions are held for a specific purpose, and that purpose is for both fraternal and business trans actions. It ought to be obvious that none but Confederates should be sent as delegates, and 1t should be still more obvious that none but Confederates should transact the business. If the old Federal soldiers may become dele- gates at our meetings and take part In conducting them, and in the express sion of the sentiments of the meetings, it ought to be plain that the innova- tion will grow and a Confederate re- union will come to be a sham and a farce.
 There was no reflection cast on Col onel Russell by the demand that he be taken off the Committee. The old vets were simply demanding that there should be no admixture~o of irritating elements. We would welcome the time when the veterans of the war be- tween the States agree to hold frater- nal reunions which will include those who served on both sides, but we re- fuse to admit that a Federal veteran is a proper delegate to a Confederate reunion

Drunken Man In WheeIbnrrow.

'T wish some of our stingy Aldermen could see that" snorted a man who finds fault with the city government He jerked his thumb toward two. pas trolmen who were laboriousiv trucking a wheelbarrow through the street. The form of a man doubled up as if asleep rested in the wheelbarrow.
 Now, isn't that splendid spectacle for a city of 10000 people?" asked the chronic grumbler. Policemen wheel borrowing a drunken man through our streets! Our eloquent Aldermen de- liver fine speeches About theIr inability to bring into use the fine patrol wagon for which they paid $750 and yet they will spend money for almost everything else on earth"
 The scene was North Court Street. The patrolmen were Lacey and Oliver. A crippled man, who had been drinking. lost one of his crutches and careened into the street. The officers were in formed that he lived nearby. A wheel barrow was borrowed from livery stable and the unfortunate citizen was trucked to his home by the accommo- dating policemen.
 Nice advertisement for montgom- ery," sneered the grumbler.

In Mexico the Man Who Knows Man
 Tales is Popular,


 Tales Is Popular.
 '"The Mexicans are great story tell ers," said an American mining engi- neer, who, according to The New York Sun is now operating south of the border. ''The percentage of ilhteracy is very large. and stories told by word of mouth take the place of reading.
 Tn every mining camp, every cattle work stops Is listening to folk-tales. The man who knows many of them and tell them well Is sure to be pop story tellers, who wander from camp to camp amusing the peons for few pennies.
 I used to listen to these tales when ever I could. l found that about a third of the standard stories were Boc- caccio translated into Aztec terms. ferent names. different localities, but there were the same plots.
 T asked priest. an authority on Mexican history. how Boccaccio ever got a start down there. He explained 1t in this way:
 "A great many of Boccaccio's tales are. only the folk tales of the world. people and gathered by him into the Decameron along with stories of his own. The French writers of fablieux before and after Bocaccio used many of the same stories. They are in the Roman de la Rose and In half dozen others.
 ',The padres, in the early days of the Spanish occupation. brought over these French works. which were al- ways popular in the monasteries. They weren't much on Boccacio, for his IT. reverence always queered him with the church. But they all knew the fla blleux The priests and friars told these tales to their Indian acolytes, and they became incorporated with the na- tional folklore.
 There was one tale, not pretty one which I used to hear about the campfres, and which 1 never could place in Bocaccio or any other writer whom l knew. Last year visited Pompeii--and there was that whole tale told in pictures on a wall
 T got some of my scholarly friends to look 1t up. They found that par ticular story, or traces of 1t, in Greek, Latin and Sanskrit literature. It Is as old a tale as we know; and here it Is being told nightly as part of their own tradition by the Aztec story tellers of Mexico"

The New York Age, edited by T. Thomas Fortune. among the most prominent of Northern "Afro-Ameri- cans." has this item:
 We advise Afro-Americans in every section of the South where an attempt is made to separate the races on the street cars to boycott the street rail- ways. This policy has been success fully pursued in many cities of the ism has been practIcaiiy discredited notably so in Montgomery, Houston and one or two cities in Mississippi, We advise the people never to get on R street car where the color line Is drawn.
 No worse advice could be given by a negro to his race, and he shows his ignorance of conditions in the South by ringing in Montgomery to prove that the negroes have boycotted the street cars. If he will come to this city he will find that our cars are lib- erally patronized by the negroes and that the races are practically separ- ated. And if he could stay here a few days and see some of the negroes who ride on the cars he would feel no sur PAA0C tiot PSOpAO hO oAt by them, in the cars or elsewhere.
 And the advice of The Age is bad for It's own race In the South, for. If they follow 1t. they will be the worst sufferers. To provide for them a sep arate place in street cars does them no hurt and subjects them to no hu- initiation. It is best for both races and the white people will keep 1t up. If the negroes refuse to occupy the seats set apart for them. and which are precisely like the others, they will have to stay off the cars. They can boycott our street cars to their hearts content, but there will be no mixing. The Age sometimes gives good advice to its race but has not done so in this instance.
