k[N oW that the theatrical season
 U is drawing nigh" somewhat
 satirically remarked a married woman of experience toRa party of her eronies the other day, "Tve got scheme I've been thinking out the details for some time. It's a scheme that I have been working on with the hope that I'll be able to induce my husband to take me to the theatre oftener than he does
 You see, it's like pulling teeth to get him out of the house at all at night dur ing the cold weather, and 1 have to do all sorts of planning and contriving be- fore I can get him to take me to the the- atre. But he objects to being deprived of his smoking for so long a time as it takes to visit a theatre.
 ' I'm not going to any old kind of a theatre thatn keep me cooped up for three or four hours without the chance to insert a smoke into my system,' is hls way of expressing 1t. Not much. They ought to permit smoking in all theatres, anyhow. Most women like the smell of tobacco, and the women who don't like the smoke smell are not worth consider ingA anyway. But as long as they make fellow cut out smoking at the theatre, why that lets me out-they don't get my dough, that's all. except when I'm fairly bamboozled or bul1ied into going, and you won't be able to do that so often, either, as the years creep on. You can go to the theatre yourself all you want to. I'll stake you to matinee tickets every time you ask for them. and make no kick about it. But I like to eat on my old pipe whole heap more than I like theatricals, and so I'm afraid you're in trouble as to the theatre going busi- ness, my dear, so far as getting me to the theatre is concerned
 He said all of this, as usual, one even- ing last winter when l tried to get him to enthuse over the prospect of taking me to the theatre, and I said to him:
 Why can't you go out between the acts at the theatre and take a smoke, like other men, instead of letting a little thing like that keep you-and me-away from the theatre?'
 " Because he replied, pretty quickly, I'm not hop fiend, or anything like one, just yet. The fellows that go out between the acts smoke cigarettes, and if you ever catch me in the act of pulling the paper fumes into my countenance I give you leave to sic the paresis expert on me the very next morning.
 We'll, then,' l went on, why couldn t you go out between the acts and smoke cigars?'
 !" What he exclaimed. Light a good cigar, and take about six whffs at it, and them have to toss 1t? That would be nice. What dye think l am. a million aire? Anyhow, that would be mean and onnery way of treating a cigar be-

 fl GUESS that's all," said a cowboy
 bandsmah last night with the
 Ranch 101 Western Exposition, showing at Fairmount park this week.
 Me, too, Pete" said another. Eight of the cowboy band decided that they had seen enough of the exciting world for them, and despite the urging of J. c. Miller, one of the proprietors of Ranch 1O1, they checked their baggage for the range country. Eight more from Tulsa, I. T., were wired for to take their places.
 '"The boys soon get enough of the ex- citement of being watched" said MT Miller "They long for the tall grass. You see, busting bronchos and roping steers Is not stirring to the blood of these boys at all. But the sight of a pink par asol and a peek-a-boo shirt waist every minute sends their pulse beats up too high They'll only stand for 1t a few days before they insist on ducking back to the simple life.'
 The words of MT. Miller, himself an am- ateur snowman. were palpably true. A most interesting spectacle is this exposi- tion of ranch life which the people from his ranch present. And 1t is the bashful- ness of the performers that puts the final stamp of genuineness upon the whole af- fair The interesting feature of the show Is that buffaloes horses, steers and men are still in the coy and bashful stage of their evolution.
 The modest circus lady shrinking like a fawn from the gaze of people! Was such a conception ever put in words be- fore? She is here with this western ex- position. Miss Goldie Wooden. daughter of a neighbor of the Miller brothers, fears nothing that goes on four legs. A re- porter tried to talk with the young lady,

Gadsden Booming.

Gadsden, September 24.-(Special)- Never before in the history of Gadsden has there been such an unprecedented demand for Gadsden real estate. Deals are being made every day and at good prices. In some instances the price paid seems large but in every instance the land is well located and close in and very desirable There is also building boom on. There are no less than half a dozen fine brick stores projected and which will be built in the next six months, while no less than one hundred dwellings and cot tages are in course of construction.

------se----- REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR.

From the New. York Press.
 Spend your money and you won't lose it in fool Investments.
 A woman has to be very suspicious of herself not to be suspicious of her hus- band sometimes.
 A girl would almost rather go in an au- tomobile and sit in the tonneau than buggy riding next to the driver.
 Even when a mans older brother has a very large family he is just as likely as not to go and do the same thing.
 When a man gives his wife an extra allowance she is going to find out some thing about him for which she can get still more if she knows how to be mad enough.

THAT FUTURE DAY.

By the Late Frederick Lawrence
 Knowles. When this warm body shall be dust
 Some dateless day from now, Still shall the reaper bind his sheaf,
 Still shall the ploughman plow On other ears than mine shall fall
 The veery's double thrill Another's feet the sunset trail
 Shall lure from hill to hill. Though all forgotten then be I,
 A mossgrown thing my name. Though every chronicler forget
 These hostages to fame, Yet if above my fiatten'd mound
 Where wild flowers greet the rain. My children's children's children's chilo Shall twist daisy chain. Though he have never heard of me,
 Who shouts and leaps in play, And in the marbles shadow laughs
 The summer noon away, In my white robe. Eternity.
 I shall look down. perchance, And my immortal years may be
 More blosful for the glance.

SITUATION IN VIRGINIA.

From the Chattanooga Times.
 From nasty perusal of the Virginia papers we are led to believe that the 'brother in black hasn't the best op- portunities in the world for exploiting his importance as an integral force in not this year. The democrats don't want him any more than they can help; tho republicans are afraid to fool with him to any great extent, and besides there aren't many of him able to vote any way. The situation, at any rate, war rants the belief that there will be a de- crease in campaign expenses.

 Next the bashful circus "spieler." Any person that can formulate such a thought deserves the Carnegie medal. Yet he is to be seen in the person of J. C. Miller president of Ranch 101 who explains to the public just what the performance Is. His talks on these occasions are like the neighborly address at the old set tiers picnic by the man who came to the section fifty years before and is making the only speech of his life, or the camp meeting confession of a con verted sinner, who is mo orator, as Brutus is'
 No more of this wild west for me- said Thomas Micks, all-around cowboy. "I can only stand Sunday once a week. This making every day Sunday ain't good for me.

A woman and two kids come along an looked fer fifteen minutes right square at Chad this after noon without battin' an eye. That fixed Chad. He swore he was going back on the next train. He went over in the hollow where the steers are and laid down so he couldn't see anything but cattle. Maybe he'll get to feeling better"
 What is Chad's other name?"
 "ChadweI."
 Everybody on the ranch always just called him Chad He had some other name, but he never told us what it was. Just said it was worse than Percival so O course we never intruded on his pri- Vate grief

Railroads Coming.

| was told by a railroad official in a high position that it was certainty that the Mobile and Ohio would come into Birmingham at the same time that the Illinois Central makes it's debut. said a railroad man yesterday That official completely confirmed the statements in The Age-Herald recently that an agree ment had been signed between the Mobile and Ohio, the Illinois Central and the Nerthern Alabama by which the two first named roads will come into Birmingham oy mutual traekage arrangement.
 The Illinois Central will use the Mobile and Ohio tracks from Jackson, Tenn, to c2rinth, Miss, the Mobile and Ohio will use the Illinois Centrars line to be built from Corinth to Haylesville, Ala. on the Northern Alabama, which line will be used by the Illinois Central to Jasper and by the Mobile and Ohio to Parish The Illinois Central will come into Birming- ham over the Frisco and the Mobile and Ohio will enter the city over the Ensley Southern.
 This matter now seems official, and it means another railroad for Birmingham. 1t also means another direct connection between the Birmingham district and the middle west. The Southern will have diract line to St. Louis from Birming- ham, as the Mobile and Ohio is a holding of the Southern.
 With the arrival of the Illinois Central, the Mobile and Ohio and the Atlantic and Birmingham this city will have nine railroads, just half as many again as there are at present.

The Late Governor o'Ferrall.

Ex-Governor Charles T. O'Ferrall or Virginia, who died at his home in Rich mond last week, was one of the most gall lant of the war veterans and was man of irreproachable life" said former cit izen of the Old Dominion.
 Not only was OFerrall morally and physically brave, but as a politician he had high ideals and lived up to them. He was only 21 years old at the beginning of the civil war, and rose to the rank of colonel before he was 24. He was a dashing leader, was in many fierce bat ties and was wounded several times.
 Colonel O'Ferrall represented the Sew enth district of Virginia in Congress ten or twelve years, and when he ran for gov nor was chairman of the committee of the house on privileges and elections. In 1896, while filling the office of governor he allied himself with the Palmer and Buekner movement He felt that his re- fusal to support Bryan would end his political career, and it did. but he told me a year ago that being actuated by prin- eiple he had nothing to take back"

President and Arkansas.

''The state of Arkansas is not as United States" said prominent Arkan- sas man at the Hillman yesterday T re- great to make this confession, but 1t is nevertheless true. The Little Rock au- thorites should not have hesitated a mo- ment in assuring the people of New Or leans that they would gladly welcome tlee President after his visit to the Crescent City. This expression of confidence on the part of the people of Arkansas, fol- lowing close upon the declaration of the President that he would not change his itenerary because of yellow fever if the people of Louisiana and New Orleans insisted on his coming, would have been the means of allaying the severity of the afhlction in the fever zone as we'll as the hardships worked by quarantine.
 If the President is fearless enough to consent to go to New Orleans, l see no reason why the people of Arkansas, that is the authorities who speak for the peo- ple should be afraid to let Roosevelt into the state. Put it to a popular vote and five to one will say: 'Comel Welcome
 'It is strange that the President should think of making New Orleans the last place he visits in the south and returning to Washington by sea unless he really desires the ocean voyage. While I would regret to see him come south and not visit my state if Arkansas insists on him changing his route, the President could not be censured for cutting Little Rock off the list.'
