THAT IDEA ABOUT RELIGION.

1t is amusing to see the sheet wobb
ling. First il praises retiring officers
as men who did tneir duty and then it
ends up its eulogy by expressing tne
hope that the new officers will not fol-
low in the footsteps of their prrdeces-
sors. In other words il gives vent to
the desire that they may not be good.
but the only reason for that is that
it is disappointed because there are not
all Democratic faces in and around the
court house. We imagine the new Of.
ficers win not consult the News, when
it comes to matter of doing tnrir
duty, but will go along about it just as
they see it. 1t is with pleasure though
we read the admission on the part Of
the News that the old officers did very
well. The little essay about religion
that sheet embodies in its article is the
most amusing of all. 1t is the first
time in Republican politics that we were
aware that creed was part, though ii
is a well known fact that some Demo.
Gratis nave made n play on that tne past
several years. If We remember cor.
rectly, not many years ago ii wa. Sug.
sested that an arrangement be male
with certain man TO BE- deputy sheriff
in the event the Democratic candidate
for sheriff were elected but that did not
suit the Democratic dictators. They
objected TO mis- religion and so the ar.
rangement was not affected Again
only last fall Democrats and other
schemers diligently circulated fal.e re.
ports about tae religious belief of GER
tain Republican nominees out ii fan, ID to
work. The less the News says about
the religious creed of officers the better.

MANIPULATING A REGIMENT.
Terrible Incident in Far East Do.
 serbed by Correspondent.

In the January Worlds Work the anon ymous correspondent O." describes with dramatic power an encounter between a lost Russian regiment and Japanese battalion:
 For half a mile it was possible to trace the roadway as 1t wound along the base of little ampitheatre, then Il was lost in the standing millet. Along this tract a weary column syas plodding. The for eigner looked, and then rubbed his eyes It was q Russian column. There was no n.isinterpreting the white tunics and blue brooches, no mistaking the figures which looomed colossal in comparison with the little fellows with whom he lay A counter attack? His trained eye told him that the dejec ed movement of the draggled column savored not of aggres- sion. The mems riAes were across their backs and their pale, worn faces were winter than their blouses. There was no speech, no soun. other than the squelching of their boots in the mire A surrender? No man came forward to ar range quarter for men too tired, too whipped and beaten to defend themselves. No Japanese went forward to recommend to them such mercy as they had earned. mis-direeted column? That was it.
 The thought just flashed through the Foreigners brain, when the voice of the chef-de-bataillon rose superior to the silence The rifles crashed like one. The Russion column stopped dead in it's tracks. The leading fours were so close that the Foreigner could see the look of amazement, horror and despair upon the blanched features of the wretched men. Then as the magazines ground out their leaded avalanche, the leading fours tried to surge backward, tried to save themselves in flight. It was awful-the rifles made no smoke to hide the hideous spectacle; it was like the execution If bound man. Flight was impossible, for the magnitude of the confusion Prevented retreat or retaliation.
 The little Japanese, shouting and jeer- ing. were now upon their feet and re- doubling the rapidity of heir fire. With blanehed cheek and clenched teeth the Foreigner watched this terrific curtain to the bloody drama in which he had par ticipated He saw the white tunics melting into the mud like snow under a sleet shower. He saw 2 mad rush to- wards the cornstalks baked by the in- tensity of the fire. He sew such of the Russians as remained rpon their feet tn ow their arms into the air and stretch out their naked 'auds toward the rifles that were annlhira;ing them Their shrielSs were>in h.s ears Then if by m; sic the firing stopped A little figure he knew 1t we'll the whole battalion knew it-leaped in front of the firing For a moment tho face was turned toward the Foreigner.

The Cowboys Work.

Andy Adams In Pilgrim for February
 The actual work with the cattle, per- formed by the cowboy, might not require over half hls time But slight as were his days of recreation, his presence was ever required on the ranch, for there is the unseen to be guarded against. Some of his work was done under circumstances requiring unlimited rationce and then again with a rush where all the comforts of life were left behind. In the the Chero- kee Strip, now part of Oklahoma, l have seen fire break out from the reflection of the sun on a tin can, throwing it's signal column of black smoke into the sky, in- stantly summonsng every man within fifty miles. Or it might occur at night from different causes with it's brilliant horizon, the flames eaping upward vis- ible at the distance of twenty miles, while every breeze was saturated with the smell of burning grass, Under such circumstances horsehesh was never spar ed in reaching the actual scene. The first men to arrive would begin back or coun- terfiring as it was called much the same as city firemen blow up blocks in the pathway of a conflagraton taking every advantage of arroyo or dry wash, and with saddle blankets, beating cut their own fire on the leeward before it could gain headway. If a wide enough belt could be thus burned. in advance of the main confagration, it might check the fire. or jumping the emergency guard, break out anew on its course. Within two or three hours after a prairie fire had thus started, there might arrive fifty to one hundred men. Being plainsmen as well as cowboys, they knew what to do. Frequently several light COW brutes were killed beheaded and split down the spine leaving only the hide to hold the body to- gether. The carcass of the animal was then turned flesh down, ropes were fas- tened from a fore and hind foot to pom mels of saddles; and riding astride the burning grass, virtually rubbing 1t out. Other men followed on horseback to beat out any remaining flames and re- lieve the mounts by pulling the ropes. This process would be applied on the Hanks of the main conflagration, and on the leeward of all counter firing, as no one dared to dispute the sway of the fiery monster except well in its advance. Such a fire might last three hours or three days, at the termination of which the men would ride for the nearest camp for rest and refreshment.

Too Swift For Him.
from the Brooklyn Eagls

From the Brooklyn Eagls.
 'As I was coming by one of the churches in Bisbee." said Judge Dixon, of Nogales, Ariz. my range finder ap- prehended the odor of fried cottontaii and then I noticed smoke pouring from the church chimney which led me to be- leve that a church supper was under way. Being hungry and inclined to ben- evolence when an opportunity like that to favor the church runs against me. pushed in the side door and found that was right in kitchen where I supposed the pastor had his study. Standing over a four-hole stove was Rev. MT. Banks, smothering cottontail in a skillet of hot lard. and he was much warmer than he expects to be hereafter-when he has his salary raised and he isn't compelled to keeps house in church.
 !" How do you like camping out in church?' I asked taking in the situation. Better let me share that rabbit with you Queer place to live, aint it? Where's your horse? Stable him here?'
 " No, sir. I don't. I'm sorry to say answered the parson. although there's a nice stall for him in the organ, but I can't afford to do it, so I turn him out on the range near by and run chances
 You'll lose him. sure

 A girl is a reproduction of her grand mother, her social career but q replica of her mothers.
 It is remarkable that social conditions have adjusted themselves at all in Bir- mingham, because l am told, there are many people here who are getting their first taste of society, people that the French word "gaucherie' describes This Is the class that the old families call the "neuveau riche.'' those wh) .5 no means represent the aristocracy of the south, but whose recently acquired wealt.- has brought with 1t q certain social dstinc- tien. There will always be a class of southerners who will not allow these social barriers to be broken down, with out entering q protest. They pride them selves on their blood cnd ignore the claims of those who have only wealth to give them social position. These old school southerners attribute all of the rudeness and bad form to the new ele- ment,' and it is true that there are women in society who need to be coached and who make fearful mistakes in their English.
 Fortunately the aristocratic old soci- ety of the south still dominates. With the influx of wealth since the war it still maintains it's family prestige, and the southern people are by nature so hos pitable and so sure of their own social

My Dearest Dorothy I have lived through it. I have at last passed that trying stage of meeting new people, of gong down a long receiving line of twenty women who were entire strangers to me only to find myself wedged in a light little place without knowing a hu- man being. Then another form of suffer- ing that l have undergone is standing for hours In a receiving line where l was expected to greet cordially hundreds of people whose names had never heard.
 l cannot tell you what set l am in, as l really do not know. Where so many people go in society. where lines are not drawn and certain people excluded 1t is rather difficult, I suppose, for social con- ditions to adjust themselves properly. only know that 1 have met great many charming people, that l am begin ming to grow very fond of some of the women here and do not dread the prob ability of one having to remain indefi- nitely.
 Birmingham is not southern. There are no traditions, no old customs. It is glar- lngly new, and Is even too young to have history. In all southern cities it is the social traditions that form the back ground of social life it is the time-hon- ored customs that hold society together.
