Greeley Knew the Word.

Dan Lawton was the only printer
who could read Horace Greeley's
handwriting well enough to put it
In type. He used to boast he could
read the great, wondrous scrawl a
mile away. One night the boys in
the composing room put up a job
on him. They took two roosters and
made them walk around ON new
ly linked form and then run over ten
sheets of copy paper. The foreman
wrote over it in Greeley's well known
scrawl, "The Plain Duty of Con-
gress," and put it on old man Law
toms hook. The old printer picked
it up, swore a little, remarked that
they had to shove the stuff off on
the sold man." as usual, adjusted
his spectacles and began sticking
type. The other printers watched
him for few minutes, but beyond
an oath or two he gave no sign.
Lawton went on setting type until
about half way through the "copy."
Then he was stuck. He took the
copy over to the foreman and asked,
"John, what word is that ?"
II don't know" replied the fore
man. "You know I never could
read the stuff"
Lawton took the sheet down to
Greeley and pointed out to him a
particularly awful scrawl of the
ROSTERS feet and asked what word
that was.
Greeley looked at it for moment
and replied, with frown, 'Uncon-
stitutional, of course"

The Teachera, Lantern.

Seeking Jesus Is the highest prac- tical wisdom. All who seek Him are Magi in the best sense of the word. And 1t is no difficult task to find Him. No thousand mile Journey confronts us. No going up to heayn or down to hades, for the Word is nigh. But we shall not find Him unless We have the same moral earnestness the Magi showed. . The Magi are the ideal seekers after Christ. They made 1t their business to find Him They might have said: This one thing we do" They left home business society and all to find Him of whom Moses and the prophets spake. They were not daunted by well-nigh insurmountable obstacles. They perseYered. They did
 not fall out by tho way, though 1t were thousand miles long. And when they found Jesus at length, they believed in Him. In sense we come to a larger Christ than the Magi found. They discovered a Babe. we the full grown Christ, whose finished work and righteousness is our hope for time and eternity. s% It is largely a matter of sentiment, the find
 ing of spiritual significance in the

Talk of County Primary.

New that the State Democratic Ex- ecutive Committee has given power to
 the several county committees as re-
 gards county primaries. there is a
 marked movement on the part of can
 didates for offices of local nature to
 have a severance in Mobile County.
 Many of the County Executive Com-
 mittcemen have been approached in
 the matter. and of these a number ex-
 pressed willingness to have a meetinf
 and allow the candidates to make state
 nents and act in accordance with the wishes of the majority.
 Some of the committeeman, President George J. Sullivan Included. think 1t unwise to have a severance and to call
 an early primary for county offices. The principal argument against an early county primary is that great many young men who will have reached their majority later than March or April would be disbarred from express ing a choice and would, ef necessity.
 be compelled to vote fer the expressed choice of others.
 It iS understood petition is being calculated arn3hg the committeeman asking the President to call meeting of the Executive Committee for the prrp6se of hearing the candidates in the matter. Should a sufficient num- Der of signatures be obtained. there is no doubt President Sullivan will con form to their wishes and call the meet ing

 The State Committee having provided for the designation by nomination of two persons who shall be appointed to the Federal Senate in the event of va cancies occurring during the next four years, hereby announce that I will be a candidate for one of such designa- tions at the hands of the people.
 My time is now fully occupied with pressing business. Ind 1t will he impos- sible for me to devote myself to this important matter until after the ad- journment of the spring terms of the courts. During the summer l will make an earnest canvass of the State, visit ing, first. the few counties In which have never campaigned for the party; and after that, as nearly all of the others as possible.
 I assume that the, people will be in- clined to Indicate. In this connection, two young men of known fidelity to the party and deep devotion to the State, with the idea of obtaining the full benefit of the life work and useful ness of the persons chosen. If selected will devote myself to further prepa- ration for the high calling; and. when the time comes, to faithful discharge of the duties. If defeated. the canvass will have given me the opportunity of renewing many pleasant acquaintance ships. and of making a number of new ones.
 My efforts in this connection will be 3long a high plane; Tor if I know my self, love of this State is the dominant sentiment of my life, and I would not have the place unless give the best promise of usefulness to the common wealth. Very truly.
