Frances New Premier.

M. Rouvier, Frances new premier, is veteran statesman. He has once before been premier, and he has been in office of one sort or another nearly a third of a century. He steps out of the finance portfolio in the Combes ministry to become finance minister in his own cabinet.
 In the Combes ministry he drew up the income tax bill, and he is irrevo- cably committed to that measure. He has no doubt long favored the sepa- ration of church and state. But he is a man of the world, and he will pro- ceed to advocate the two measures in a moderate tactful manner. The ma jority of the French people pretty plainly favor the abrogation of the concordant. Not few favor abroga-

see that the Anheuser- Busch Brew ing association has taken step toward always having supply of coal on hand when needed" said a coal operator yes terday The concern has purchased some large tracts of coal lands in Illinois, and it will develop the property.
 This is pretty good idea, it seems to me. It places the company in a position to be independent. and assures it of a supply of coal no matter what may hap pen to other mines or coal companies.
 "Adolphus Busch has also made some large purchases of coal in Illinois, he and the company together having secured about SSOo acres of valuable lands for which l understand they paid a nice price.
 T have noticed that several other large companies have done practically the same thing within the past few months"

 seeing far His bond slaves perish and acclaim their

Herbert W. Horwill in the January
 March Forum.
 lCp knowledge of the classics is, as
 Mir. Collins reminds us in his first sentence, among the traditions which the world appears to have made up it's mind to accept without inquiry, and which, by a strange superstition, seem to be exempted even from debate. This be- lief he now assails, maintaining that Shakespeare could almost certainly read Latin with as much facility as a culti- vated Englishman of our own time reads French; that with some at least of the principal Latin classics he was intimately acquainted; that through the Latin lan- guage he had access to the Greek clas- sics and that of the Greek classics in the Latin versions he had, in all probability, a remarkably extensive knowledge.
 An argument which extends to nearly a hundred pages, most of which are taken up by the citation of evidence cannot well be summarized in a few lines, but it's general course may perhaps be suffI- ciently indicated. MT. Collins begins by bringing to light the instability of the foundation on which the common tradi- tion is based. To Ben Jonson he sug. gests, small Latin and less Greek" would connote what it would connote to Scaliger or to Casaubon; it meant simply that Shakespeare was not a scholar in the technical, academic, and one might ai- most say pedantic sense Next, by use of the data of the history of education in

ALTOONA BRANCH OF L. & N.

From the Marshall Banner.
 The length of the tunnel now being cut through spur of Sand mountain, AL toona branch of the Louisville and Nash vile railroad, when completed will be about two thousand feet, and it is esti- mated to cost not less than s300,OOO prob ably the longest and most expensive tun- mel ever put through any mountain in the south. Work is progressing rapidly at both ends of the tunnel, and we were informed that the contractors expect to have 1t completed by March 1 or before, and that the road will be In full oper- ation by April. This extension of the Alabama Mineral division of the Louisville and Nashville will open one of the rich est mineral sections in north Alabama. Coal, iron and limestone are found in abundance along this new line. The open ing of this road will give the Gadsden district another direct line to Birming- ham, which is already the railroad outlet to all parts of the United States. There will be several branches built along this line, to be used as feeders. Already fine veins of ore have been uncovered along the new road. The building of this road is in keeping with the record of the Lou isville and Nashville; the expense is no barrier when a rich mineral district is to be opened. The Louisville and Nash vile railroad has done and is doing more toward developing Alabama's resources than any other line. The Attalla and Oneonta extension will be valuable one for this purpose.

Albertville Banner: There is always hearty welcome awaiting you by some friend when you go to Birmingham-be- cause nearly everybody who visits Bir- mingham has friends there.
 Marshall Banner: Don't burn cotton; burn seed if you must burn. Then you won't burn your fingers with another whopper crop.
 Marion Standard: Although we are having severe cold weather, Mir. W. L. Murfee is selling hard head cabbage and lettuce from the M. M. I. experiment farm. Thus far he has sold over $50 worth of lettuce alone from one-twentieth of an acre. This shows what we can do when we try.
 Choctaw Advocate: The farmers of this country will be committing financial sui eide if they plant a full acreage of cotton this year. A short crop is what they need. Then plant a short crop. Don't urge everybody else to do it and plant big one yourself It has been demon strated beyond shadow of doubt what ever that the price of the staple Is gov- erned by the supply and demand. The short crop of 1903 is a recent example of this contention. Speculation may cause a slight huctuation, but the main thing governing prices Is the amount made. The cotton belt went daft on the price for the 1903 crop and is now reaping the re- sults Plant less cotton and more grain.

ARGUMENT TOPROVE THAT
 SHAKESPEARE READ LATIN

England, we are shown the typical cur riculum of such grammar schools of the time as that which Shakespear attended at Stratford-on-Avon, and we thus find that Latin was normally a part of the course, with Greek frequently, the latter depending mainly upon the character of the head-master.
 There is reason to believe that the clas- sical teaching at Stratford- -on-Avon was abovel the average. After the ground has thus been prepared for the inquiry, MT. Churton Collins proceeds to the evidence afforded by Shakespeare's own writings. His first point is that Shakespeare, with minute particularly of detail, based a poem and a play on a poem of Ovid and comedy of Plautus which he must have read in the original. as no English trans lations. so far as we know, existed at the time. He certainly makes out a strong case for this connection, ones only hesitation being that induced by the proviso, Tso far as we know" Illustra- tions are given of Shakespeare's knowl- edge of certain writings of Seneca, Hor- ace, Juvenal, Persius Lucretius and Cicero, which also appear to have been accessible only in the originals, as well as of passages in Plato. accessible only in Latin versions. A further most inter- esting argument is drawn from a collec- ton of parallel passages showing that, in many instances, when an English translation of Latin writer was in his hands, Shakespeare made use not only of the translation, but of the original as we'll

 Holbrook Argus: Clarence Mor- row and William Amos, two of Navajo county's prosperous sheep men, arrived in the city Wednes- day night from the Salt River Valley to look after their aocks that wintered on this side. They report an abundance of feed and water on the desert.
 Stockman: Tom Whitehead, cat- tleman of the San Simon valley, who went to Bisbee and entered the restaurant business several years ago, when the range was slack in work and the cattle busi- ness generally slow, has now sold out the restaurant and moved back to the ranch where he will devote his future to looking after his herd.

The entire lot were steers, to be fattened on the bountiful alfalfa pastures of the valley They were taken to the Ellingson ranch tenn porarily; 1t is probable that the lot will be divided into numerous small punches, among the several who feed, for permanent pasturage.
 Stockman: It is reported that cattle buyers have contracted for some 12,O00 head of cattle in the northern part of Grant county, and most of them will be shipped from Silver City.
