lncreduIous People,

Isn't it strange how readily people will
true one" said a man who has done some
travelling. II have told men all sorts of
stories. even to the extent of rivaling
Baron Munchausen, without ever creating
a suspicion of my veraclty, but some
of my truest stories were considered
worthy of the Ananias club.
IF you want to prove this, just say
that you have seen the Thermometer 80
degrees in the shade on Christmas Day.
and that in some parts of the world
Christmas Day is a midsummer day, and
you will find out how your audience will
stare and nudge each other. Tell them
you have seen trees that shed the bark
instead of the leaves. and that in some
countries the cherry stone is outside OF the
cherry instead of inside and they will
consider 1t an insult to their intelligence,
but sea-serpents, haunts, and such things
as have no existence outside of the mag
nation, appeal at once to their credulity
People who live in countries south of
the equator have Christmas in mid-sum~
mer and spend the day much after the
same manner as we spend the Glorious
Fourth Picnics. excursions to the noun
forms of amusement, and most enjoy
able they are, but l prefer such weather
as We are having now"

Immigration TO Alabama.

The decision of Secretary Straus in
relation to the immigration of foreign
laborers is deeply important, for 1t en-
ables individuals and corporations 10
assist in procuring labor in other
countries by acting through and under
their respective states. That is what
was done in the Wittekind case IN
South Carolina. Individuals and cor
porations joined the state in raising
fund that gathered 475 aliens and paid
their fares to Charleston, from which
city they were sent to mills and othe:
EMPLOYERS in that state. 1t should be
observed that the business was trans
acted by Commissioner Watson, VINO
is a state official, and that the new
corners were left free to accept or re-
iect the proffered employment.
These features must be observed II
advantage is to be taken OF the TACT
that a state can induce and assist i'm
migrants. whereas individuals or COY
porations are forbidden to do elthe:
in foreign countries. This means that
Alabama should have a commissioner
of immigration if she desires to m
crease her white labor, and fund
that can be used in connection with
private funds for that purpose
Through such an official Alapania
conld do all the immigration work IN
the newt four years she might desire
to undertake. There is no other meth
cd open to us.
When we have provided for immi-
grafton in accordance with Secretary
Straus' decision, then indeed we Gun
urge Congress with good grace to es-
tahlish an immigrant station at Mobile.
The Southern Pacific railroad has built
one at New Orleans, and Galveston
and Charleston are moving to secure
similar stations. There should be one
in Mobile. Possibly the Louisville and
Nashville would cooperate in the
erection of one at Mobile, but it is
plain that the government will do
nothing in that direction unless it sees
that Alabama herself is moving in
earnest to gather and transport to our
own port Immigrants. The entire sub
iect is, therefore, up to the legislature,
for on its action alone all other immi-
grafton steps will rest.

Too BUSY to Listen.

"I think If Wisdom herself were to
visit this city and speak from the house.
tops she would find very few to heed
her remarks" said new arrival yester-
day. 1.-THE men seem to be wrapped up
In money making and the women in
money spending.
IT am led to make these remarks after
Mccormack in the High school auditor
ium last night. Everything was con-
ducive to a large assemblage; the subject
interested us ALL the night was fine, ad-
mission was free and the speaker was
eloquent, and yet to the shame of the
community be it said, the auditorium was
not one-quarter filled.
II must say for myself, and for others
whom I saw there and with whom l COM
versed today upon the subject of the
lecture, that 1 never really fully aplac-
ciated the services which the doctors
confer on society, nor the debt, not alone
in a monetary sense, but of gratitude,
which the public owes the medical pro-
fession.
II hope that those who did attend the
lecture will be the leaven that will ami
mate the whole mass of the people to
take up this question of health and sani-
tation and save US from the scourges Of
plaques and pestience which are the
result of our own ignorance and neglect
of the simple laws of hygiene"

jamestown Exposition.

AT this Christmas season people are
not thinking much about expositions, but
all the same the jamestown celebration
at Norfolk will be one of the notable
events of the year 1907" said James
streeter of Newport News, Va, stopping
at the Morris.
THE exposition will not be on as grand
a scale as the Worlds fair at Chicago in
1898, or the recent st. Louis Worlds fair,
but 1t will be more attractive in many
respects than anything heretofore seen in
the United States. 1t will be more edu-
cative and certainly more unique. As an
educator in American history the James
town exposition will rank first And the
naval display will be the grandest on
record. 1t is in this matter of a naval
rendezvous that Norfolk will beat the
world"

PETTUS ALWAYS POLITE.

From the Washington Herald.
1t is generally agreed among occupants
of the galleries at the capitol that the
most polite and accommodating member
of the Senate is Mr.. Pettus of Alabama
aged IS. One of the most rigid rules per-
tanning to the running of the elevators
at the Senate wing Is that when SEN
ator is a passenger the car must not
be stopped except when it arrives at the
floor to which the senatorial occupant
desires to be carried. The rule is invari-
ably enforced by the elevator conduc-
tors, who realize that their jobs depend
upon how well they observe it. Numerous
senators even refuse to ride in the ele-
vators with anybody but members OF
Congress, justices of the supreme court,
cabinet officers, etc, and frequently give
other classes of occupants plainly to I'M
derstand that they must get out when,
senators enter. Not so with Senator Pet
tus however Whenever he enters one
of the elevators he is careful to inquire
of the conductor where the other occu-
pants desire to be taken, and then in
structs that obeisant functionary not to
bother about him, but let the other pas
sengers off at their floors just as though
no member of the Senate We're among his
passengers. Frequently it happens that
when other senators are aboard an ele-
vator the car is kept bobbing up and
down between the floors for several min
utes before the ordinary passengers can
be landed at their destination.

Eobert E, Lees Centenary.

The one hundredth anniversary of
the birth of Robert E. Lee will be cell
ebrated at the college in the Shenan-
doah valley in which he gave the clos
ing years of his heroic life. Disre'
garding all offers of higher remunera-
ton. he went at the END of the war
straight to the Washington university
in Lexington, Va, and there he worked
increasingly and devotedly until the i'll
stitution had a student body number
ing more than 900 young men and had
gained a prestige that sprang directly
from his own noble character.
The centennial anniversary will be
conducted by this institution, now
known as the Washington and Lee
university, and the intention is to use
the commemorative event to explain
in the fullest manner the value of Gen
eral Lees services as an educator.
This feature in his career has not been
adequately placed before the general
public. Every living alumnus of the
university will be invited to go back
to Lexington on January 49, when the
centenary will be held. Charles
Francis Adams of Massachusetts will
deliver the principal address, and the
fact that General Lee gave his life
after the war to education will be
properly brought out. Not only will
the ceremonies be attended by the
graduates of the university. but all the
Confederate societies have been in
yited to send representatives, and it is
believed every one of them will have n
delegation in I.Xington on the nine,
teenth day of next month Lexington
itself will entertain all visitors, and
the hope is that the occasion will be-
come historic in the university that ne
presided over five years, and in the
chapel of which rest his ashes. The
entire south should assist in doing
honor to the memory of its greatest
son.

IRONQUILL TO MARK TWAIN.

From the Topeka Capital.
The other day Eugene F. Ware finished
reading a volume of Mark Twain. He
wrote to Mr.. Clemens, under date of De-
celnber l. this letter:
Dear Mr.. Twain: 1 picked up your
last volume. | read it clear through from
cover to cover. 1t was like a bobtailed
flush-I could not lay 1t down. Yours,
sincerely, E. +. WARE"
From 81 Fifth avenue, New York city.
Mr.. Clemens answered back, under date
of December 6. as follows
Dear Mr.. Ware: I am an old brass
bound, copper-riveted, fire-assayed Pres
byterian, with seventy-one years expe-
rience in unworldliness, and I don't I'M
derstand your metaphor but I know it
was intended as a compliment and |
make it cordially welcome. Sincerely
yours, MARK

governmental theory and practice
that has ever been written. The
American Commonwealth IS a text
book even to greater extent than is
the Common Law. A man who 50
thoroughly and so profoundly app:e-
eiates our institutions will be highly
acceptable as an ambassador, and he
will bind together the two great
English-speaking nations, increasing
the good will that exists, and always
should exist, between them.
Mr.. Bryce will come here not only
generally welcomed, but he will also
have the special advantage of a wide
acquaintance among the public men
and leaders of thought in this coun-
try. He is both a scholar and man ct
the world, and he has kept in touch
with America and leading Americans.
He will come to us commended to all
by his sincerity, intelligence and kind
ly feelings towards us. Before he en-
tered politics he stood high as pro-
fessor of civil law at Oxford, and MS
work on 1.-THE Holy Roman Empire
has been a classic for a generation at
least. Mr.. Bryce wrote 1t when he
was but twenty-four years old.

Public Spirit.

within the past five years Birmingham
has come forward steadily In the matter
of public spirit" said member of the
Commercial club, "but much yet remains
to be done on this line.
IT can remember when there was practi-
cally no public spirit here. After the
long season of depression In the early
nineties. our people were on their feet
again, and beginning in 1900 nearly every
body of pluck and business talent got
we'll ahead.
Now that Birmingham is exceptionally
prosperous, there is no excuse for citizens
not taking hold and pushing every worthy
enterprise.
1.-The Commercial club is a great center
of influence and not only should every
citizen be enrolled as a member but the
people of Birmingham should attend the
meetings of the club and lend a helping
hand to the many things that are being
fostered by that institution. Public
spirit sounds the keynote of the success
of all the southern citizens and Birming-
ham should not be behind in public
spirit. No city has such a solid founda-
ton on which to build as Birmingham,
and all our people should hue to the line
every day in the year"

Christmas Gifts.

The shops of the toy dealers and Of
the jewellers and of the furriers and of
a dozen other branches of trade we're
crowded throughout every day of the
week just ended. The dealers sold at
good profits whatever the people de-
sired to buy and in that way the great
festival of the Christmas world has
come to have a commercial side. But
it is only a side, single and incidental
at that.
The festival loses as the years go on
in a skeptical age none of its religion
and none of its sentiment. 1t COM
memorates the birth of the Saviour of
the world, and it calls upon all to re-
member their fellow creatures as thew
had not done in the previous days of
the year. 1t calls upon them to do this
out of gratitude for the birth of the
Babe of Bethlehem. He who neglects
those about him-the poor in sight of
his door or his daily walk-does not
observe or feel or appreciate the spirit
and the real meaning of Christmas.
Nor is it at all necessary that to
these or to any one rich gifts should
go even in these days of extravagance.
The cost of a Christmas gift is no
measure of value in Christmas time.
1t is what goes with it that determines
the value of Christmas gift. One
that carries love and tenderness and
brotherliness far outweighs one that
is mere matter of dollars and cents.
But whether the gift be fat or lean
let not the spirit and meaning of the
occasion be wanting. Let all the ro-
nance of Santa Claus be invoked if
the gifts go to children, and all the
sentiment of yuletide if they go to
children of larger growth. This senti-
ment and this romance abide with us.
and they always will, and they always
should.

GLAD SEASON.
Everybody laughs SO much
Poets must aVow
That 1t is a waste of time
10 say "cheer UP" now.
CHRISTMAS IN THE ARMY

set 1t down carefully, right side I'D, at
the end of the company street; and [
doubt IL any fireplace on a Christmas
morning was ever a greater magnet Of
attraction to children than that box was
TO the men of Company X. To a man
they gathered around it to see what San
ia had brought them from home.
1t was big box-a big dry goods
packing box; big enough to hold some
thing for everybody; and carefully we
opened It, and, with the lid off, it seemed
full of innumerable treasures, so full to
the last inch of space was 1t packed.
The orderly sergeant OF the company
made the distribution. He raised mis-
hand and reached over and picked up n
package that lay at the center of the
box, and lifted it and read the name on
1T, and passed it into the outstretched
hand of the man to whom it belonged.
Then he went on more rapidly picking
up the things and reading off the names
and passing them over-packages of all
sorts and shapes and sizes, all eagerly re-
celved. Some men stayed to see every
thing given out and some went to their
tents to see what the folks had sent them
or to read the letters that had come vita
the gifts. And SO the things in the box
got lower and lower while still there
were some men who had as yet got moth
ing, and who now were more and more
anxious-and how joyfully relieved when
at last something came up for them
But there were few, very few,
who fingered in vain-who among all
these gifts got nothing; and plainly dis
appointed We're some of these while 9TH
ers took it jauntiiy-perhaps they had no
one to send them, these-but still all
bore it bravely; and be sure that those
who got shared what they could share
with those who had nothing in the box.
what came in the Christmas box?
Well, not much bric-a-brac, not many
fancy candesticks, nor card cases, nor
fancy purses, nor that sort of thing, but
mostly useful articles though among
these there were watches and pocket
knives. and so on; but there were home
knit stockings and sewing kits, and sus-
penders and shoes and books, not for
getting Bibles and Testaments, and to-
bacco and pipes and cigars-all sorts OF
useful things and many letters and pic
lures.
"And from whom did all these things
come? From wives, and from children.
and from sisters and sweethearts and
mothers; and it was that that made them
SO dear. And. bless their dear hearts.
they did not forget-they did not at all
forget the things to eat.
1.-THE box seemed full of roasted chick
en-, and cookies and jellies and sausages.
and sealed-up cans of butter and grand
cakes, and all manner of good things to
eat. True, we had pork enough, and We
had plenty of hard tack but here was
something that savored of Christmas
Now when l see everybody buying
their Christmas things, and the children
and everybody happy. it makes me smile
and, / confess, choke up a little as l re.
call that Christmas in the army"

Our New San Francisco.

San Franciscos double disaster from
earthquake and fire occurred in May,
and already building permits to the
value of $92,000,000 have been issued.
BY the time full year has elapsed
the permits will have gone far beyond
the hundred million line, and the en-
tire city will be in the full swing of
reconstruction.
Two cities had TO be constructed
the one of shacks for temporary pur.
poses, and the other of permanent
structures, all of which are as a rule
TO be better than those DESTROYED on
the days of the city's double calamity.
Nearly all of the better known bust
ness places have been reopened at
their old stands; nearly all the streets
have been cleared, and nearly all the
street car lines are again in operation.
When May comes the city will be pref
ty well prepared to do its old-tinle
business in all its branches and rami.
fcations.
Chicago rose from its ashes and Gal
WESTON from its waves, and both are
today finer and stronger and more Sc
cure than they would have been ii
calamities had not oyertaken them
The stories of Chicago and Galveston
will be duplicated in San Francisco,
for no city that possesses both a home
and an export trade of large proper
lions and undoubted soundness can be
destroyed. 1t may be thrown down,
but it will rise again, and San Fran
cisco promises to be the most eminent
example of American will and energy.

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
Rush of Christmas Travel.

The rush of holiday travel is on in
earnest" said man last night
THE waiting rooms at the union passen-
ger station are filled to their capacity
and there's hardly comfortable standing
room anywhere under the station roof.
Around the entrance gates the press and
jam is something fierce. The most of the
crowd around the passenger station are
green travellers. You can readily spot the
veteran, 1t matters not how large the
crowd. He always knows what train he
wants, and doesn't get excited and doesn't
elbow his way through a dense mass
of humanity to the gateman everything
a train comes in to inquire If that's the
one he is to take He's learned trains
don't leave too soon and has also learned
not to worry If they run late. Monday
will likely be the most strenuous day
at the station. Hundreds of people will
be leaving town Christmas eve, and many
more will change cars, stopping over be-
tween trains at the waiting rooms.
Next year the new station will have
been completed and it will be long time
before the passenger stations will be so
congested as the union station Is now"
