wAGING WAR ON WHISKY.
Citizens of Leighton Are Turned Down
 By the Council.


 By the Council.
 Tuscumbia, Dec. 27-(Special. )-The little town of Leighton is in the throes of a bitter whisky fight, with the whis- ky element successful thus far. A pe- tition signed by 150 persons, male and female, and white and colored. urged the City Council to make the saloon license $t0.000 for the next year. but the Council voted unanimously to let the license remain at it's present fig uges of s400. The Leighton News puh- lished the names of the petitioners, with the petition. and the action of the Council, giving the names of the Coun- ciImen who voted against the petition. In an editorial The News declares it's intention of posting at the head of it's editorial column the name of every signer of the twenty house-holders and free holders necessary to be presented to the Judge of Probate before any li- cense is issued, and that the names of the twenty petitioners shall be printed in every issueof the paper throughout the year 1906, not to be taken down on the request of any one. or for any other cause.
 The News says that the public shall know fifty-two weeks next year those persons who are responsible for the sale of liquor in the town of Leighton for 1908. The fight Is not being made on any saloon-keeper or any individual. but upon the traffic.

African Hospitalitv

Hospitality may be considered as one
of the characteristics Of not only the
Veis, but of the whole African race. 1t
is considered the duty Of every citizen to
entertain strangers without the small
est compensation. Places of rest stand
always open, and when these are found
occupied by strangers. a man goes and
tells his wife, who will send her servants
with water for the strangers to wash
their feet; for as they wear no shoes,
they naturally need such accommoda-
ton. Afterward rooms and cloth wrap
pers are given them, food is brought
from all quarters, or they are invited to
eat with the people. They continue to
be so provided for, even if they stay
months. Their garments are also
washed and returned to them. On leav-
ing. they generally make a small gift
to the wife of the host, though not more
than two or three cola nuts or two or
three English pennies.-Century.

Saving Platinum

The increasing demand for platinum,
particularly for use in the manufacture
Of Gas Iuantles, has led to the invention
Of a process Of saving the fine powdery
grains Of this metal found in the gold
placer deposits Of southern Oregon and
elsewhere. The platinum. being in a
state of very fine division, almost in the
form of dust, will not settle in a placer
sluice so long as the water is briskly
stirred. After the metal-bearing water
has passed over a rifle table, on which
nearly all the gold settles. it is drawn
more slowly over a eoco-mat rifle, on
which the platinum settles, and is then
collected by rinsing the coco-mats over
tanks. Formerly the platinum was all
wasted, at first because its identity was
not recognized, and afterward because
no process was then known for saving

Choice of a Wife.


A German professor selects a woman
who can merely stew prunes-not be-
cause stewing prunes and reading Pro-
clus make a delightful harmony but be-
cause he wants his prunes stewed for
him and chooses to read Proclus by
himself. A fullness Of sympathy, a shar-
ing Of life one with another, is scarcely
ever looked for except in a nsrrow, con
ventional sense. Men like to come home
and find blazing fire and a smiling face
and an hour Of relaxation. Their seri-
GUS thoughts and earnest aims in life
they keep on one side And this is the
carrying out of love and marriage
almost everywhere in the world-and
this is the degrading OF women by both
