TANNERS QUIET DAY
CHIEF OF C. A. R. RECEIVED OIn
 SOLDIERS.
He Visited Points of Interest in Montgomery and Went To Church. Will Leave Here
 Today.

Corporal James Tanner, commander in chief of the Grand Army of the Re- public, was yesterday heartily well comed to Montgomery by his fellow veterans of the blue and the grizzled soldiers who wore the gray.
 The visit to Montgomery of Corporal
 Tanner was attended by one of the
 him in his tour of the South. His or
 iginal purpose in coming to the South.
 was to do honor to the memory of
 General Joseph Wheeler of Alabama,
 and known and loved by hundreds of
 Montgomerians During his stay here
 the head of the organization of Federal
 veterans spent much of his time in the
 new building on the same site and
 bearing the same name as the histor- ical pile, which was the storm centre
 of the secession movement. the Ex-
 change Hotel.
 Veterans of both causes were alike cordial in their reception of the ex-Un- ion soldier and he received both with the same cordialty and good fellow ship.
 The Easter Sunday of Corporal Tan per was quiet one. He was much fatigued from travel and slept late. At II o'clock he and Mrs. Tanner were taken by Postmaster c. W. Buckley of Post William R. Woods, G. A. R., to the First Presbyterian Church, where they listened to the eloquent sermon of Rev. Neander M. Woods of C1arksville, Ten.
 After dinner Corporal and Mrs. Tan ner were driven to points of interest about Montgomery by MT. and Mrs. M. c. Scott. Both the White House of the Confederacy and the Capitol the birth place of the Confederacy, were visited and the commander in chief express
 ed great interest in both places. After supper. in company with Mrs. Tanner in the lobby of the New Ex-
 change Hotel, the public was received generally.
 Soldiers of the blue and gray shook hands with Corporal Tanner. and un- til late hour last night, the command CT in chief sat in the lobby chatting with the old soldiers.
 He will leave today for Birmingham.

THE STOCK MARKET
DEyEIOPMENTs IN MONEY STTUA- TION REVIVE SPECULATION.
Advancement Made Whereby Gold Con- tracted for VIII Be Available
 While in Transit from Eu-

New York, April 14 4.-Developments in the money and exchange situation pectedly active stock market and gave rise to a great deal of interested dis cussion and comment
 The most important item of news was the announcement of the Secre- tary of the Treasury that banks which have engaged gold abroad will be ale lowed to withdraw it's equivalent in cash from the Treasury upon giving security in bonds pending the arrival of the gold engaged. The effect is to give the importing banks the use of the gold engaged in their reserves as soon as secured, thus saving the loss transit and increasing the control of foreign gold supplies to that extent.
 It was announced at the same time that s12.o00.oo0 had been already ad- vanced by the Treasury for this pur- pose in addition to the deposit of S1,- 000,000 with the New York banks on tions over disbursements. It was a matter of comment also that the cash reserve item in the bank statement as published failed to reflect the appear ance in the reserve of the cash depos- its by the Government as above indi- cated.
 The increase in cash shown by the statement amounts to $1,93S.200. which does not more than cover the gain on the known movements of currency for the week without counting the increase by. the Government deposits against gold engagements The heavy loan contraction of 23,454,200 effected so considerable of a reduction in the de- posit liabilities as to cut down the re- serve requirement. to the etxent of $5,- 394,925.
 Joined to the cash increase this was enough to wipe out last weeks deficit and to establish a surplus of $4,772, ,000. The breaking of the stringency in the money market is thus abundantly ex- plained. The resulting rise in the stock market continued up to the closing, which was strong and active.
 Total sales of bonds, par value, $1,- 040,000.

have constantly been impressed. writes
Luther Burbank, in The Training of
the Human Plant" in Century, with the
/ similarity between the organization
and development of plant and human
life. While | have never lost sight
Of the principle of the survival of the
fittest and all that it implies as an
explanation of the development and
progress of plant life, l have come to
find in the crossing of species and in
selection. wisely directed. a great and
powerful instrument for the trans
formation of the vegetable kingdom
along lines that lead constantly up
ward. The crossing of species is to
me one paramount. Upon 1t. wisely di-
rected and accompanied by as rigid
IN exclusion of the poorest, rests the
hope of all progress. The mere cross
ing of species. unaccompanied by Sc
lection, wise supervision. intelligent
care. and the utmost patience, is not
likely to result in marked good. and
may result in vast harm. morgan

SOLDIERS DON'T REENLIST.
Find, When Discharged, other En-
ployment Presenting Greater
Inducements.

Even hospital accommodations and
medicines, which are furnished to the
soldier free, aJe now being provided
by many of the large industrial oorpo-
rations without charge to their en-
plcyes. Medical attention is provided
by many for the sick, schools main
tanned for the young, comfortable
quarters constructed for living pur-
poses, hours of labor reduced, and
other inducements offered which make
the lot of the laborer far more easy
and attractive than ever before. But
the pay of the soldier remains prac-
tically the same as it was 80 years
ago.
The prosperous period in our coun-
try's history as yet makes no CORE
spending betterment for the pay of the
soldier, and he is the only one who
has not shared in the general pros
perity. The 1ay of the private, cor
poral and sergeant of the line is the
same as that fixed by congress Juiy
], 1871. What wonder that noncorn-.
missioned officers or privates who are
discharged with excellent character do
not reenlist, when they can find other
employment at higher wages. fewer
restrictions and more attractive In
ducements?

TIE PASTORAL NAvAJos.
Habits of This Tribe of Indians and
Their Homes in the
southwest.

The Navajos are a pastoral. patri-
archai, semi-nomadic people. their
whole culture and development centers
in their fiocks. Their reservation OF
1900 square miles Is desert. broken
with mountain and mesa. On the mesa
and low mountains there are consider
able areas of pinon and cedar. and on
the higher mountains limited area
of beautiful pine forests. writes +. >.
Curtis, in Scribner's. over this region
the Navajos drive their fiocks. AT the
season when the slight rainfall gives
even scant pasturage on he desert
plains. the iiocks are pastured there.
AS the pasturage on the lower levels
is both burned with the hot, scorcning
sun and exhausted with pasturing. the
fiocxs are taken up into the higher
mountains, where there is more moist
ure. Again as the deep winter SHOWS
come on the sheep must be taken down
out of the mountains to escape them.
During this time they are kept on the
wooded mesa, where there is less
SNOW. and plentiful supply of wood
of which there is none on the plains
below. Year in and year out the Nav
ajo fiocks are driven back and forth
from plain to mountain-top, mesa end
foothills.
While the Navajo's life is n wander
ing one, he Is not what could be called
true nomad. His zone of wander
ing is limited; on the same grounds
his father and fathers father have
kept their fiocks. The average Nava-
10 coulu not guide you a distance to
exceed so miles. Last season the
writer had with him two Navajo men
OF middle age. who had lived their
lives within days ride of the mouth
of Canyon de Chelly, and this was
the first time they had Travelled lhe en-
tire length of the canyon. This seems
strange, from the fact that it is a most
| remarkable scenic spot. and the larger
part of the great wealth of Navajo
legendary lore centers in this canyon.
The Navajo family usually has
three homes, the location of which is
determined by the necessities of their
life. One is the summer home, where
they grow their small crop of corn and
vegetables. The farming they do in
the narrow sandy washes. where, by
planting to great depth, they get
sufficient moisture to mature the crops.
In few limited areas they have ir-
rigated farms. In Canyon dc Chiefly,
which may be termed the garden OF
the reservation" there are tiny irri-
gated farms and splendid peach orch
| ards.
