LITTLE GIRLS LAMENT.
They say that sleeping dogs may lie,
But little girls may not;
For when l tell the littlest fb
They scold an awful lot.
Sometimes I wish 1 was a dog.
Sos 1 could lie a lot;
For when I've taken mothers cake
I'd rather sleep than not
Then when she'd say, Now, C1ementine,
Did you do so-and-so?'
I'd close my eyes and snooZe bit
And growl out. NO; oh, nor

 There Is some talk that W. H. Has singer. at present district manager for the Republic Company and also one of the vice-presidents of the company, may not continue in the position. Still this is only rumor. If he does stay with the concern it Is not exactly i'm probable that he will be the district head for both companies.
 The union coal miners who have been out on strike with both companies since July, 1904. are still hoping that there will be some change in the man. agement of the two companies so that there might be a chance for a settle

 much interest is again being aroused
 as May 18th approaches. the oate when
 the directors of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad Company will meet
 in New York at which the resignation
 of Don H. Bacon. president, takes
 effect and when it Is believed that something will be done looking to the
 further concentration of the Repub-
 lie Iron and Steel Company and the
 Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad Company.
 It is not believed that MT. John A. Topping, who Is president of the Re | public Company and chairman of the | Board of Directors of the Tennessee | Company, will desire to he president
 of the two companies, but will place
 at the head of the Tennessee Com pany man in whom he has all con | fidence and a man who is of the same
 idea as he Mir. Topping stated a few
 weeks ago that he intended to spend | some time in the Birmingham district. but 1t is hardly expected that he will | give this section as much of his time as will be necessary for the affairs or the Republic Iron and Steel Company | in other districts.

 Since the joint debate between the two gubernatorial candidates here April 23, the political issues of the campaign have been freely discussed. but the politics of the county has again about reached its normal con- dition, and very little activity is being shown by the friends of either can didate. From the present outlook, the result in this county in the guberna- torial race will be very close.
 Hon. T. D. Sanford went to Tallas- see Saturday where he delivered the memorial address.
 Mrs J. P. Roberts has bought the lot on the corner of Second avenue and North Eighth street, and will build a handsome dwelling thereon.

People who Eat Clay.

Clay eaters are found in the West
Indies, Honduras and some of the re-
gions round the Orinoco. They are not
necessarily of any particular tribe, for
even whites have fallen victims to this
degrading and fatal habit The habit
is contracted at as early an age as y
years, and the craving once acquired
appears to be irresistible. Confirmed
clay eaters will lie down and lick the
earth where the edible clay is found
They suffer from chronic dyspepsia
and emaciation; but, in spite of the
pain and weakness, they cannot do
without the clay any more than the con-
firmed drunkard can do without his al
cohol. In some localities this clay is
whltish gray, sometimes yellowish-
pink. There appears to be lime in 1t,
and also the remains of minute organ
isms. 1t is sometimes eaten baked and
sometimes raw.
A confirmed clay eater will take four,
five, or even six pounds day. Water Is
drunk with it. At length the habit
seems to give an aversion not only to
other kinds of food, but also to alco-
holic drinks. AS soon as this stage Is
reached the eating Of clay invariably
causes death.

A BENEFIcENT EMPLOYER.
Story of His Grief Over the lngrati
tude of His Employees.

A woman who has allied herself
with the Woman's Trade Union
League tells this story, which, she
says. "gives a good idea of the ex-
tent to which the browbeaten employ
er is dominated by his autocratic
feminine employees.
1.-THE women in certain large man.
ufacturing establishment" she says,
"were contemplating a strike, and l
was chosen to call on the manufac-
turer to see if differences could be
adjusted. He greeted me with the
most martyred expression, and spoke
of the girls with tears in his eyes.
They are from our own neighbor-
hood he said. They are girls whom
| have known all their lives. Why,
this factory is the result of my de-
sire to help them, and was placed in
this neighborhood for that very pur-
pose. Their interests have been my
interests, and | have always been
willing to do a great deal for them.
To prove that l have no sympathy
with the idea that the factory girl
is an autonaton, existing only for
the sake of the employer, / have
twice yearly given the girls a picnic
at which my own daughters actually
went and mingled with them. At
this touching recollection his SYM
pathies were so affected that the
tears overfowed and ran down his
cheeks. When one of my daughters
died the factory girls sent floral tri-
butte to lay at her coffin he con-
tinued.
"My girls are very we'll paid he
went on. IF you wish evidence of
this / will let you inspect for your
self the payroll That is entirely I'M
necessary l replied; I do not need
any proof as I have in my possession
two thousand of the pay envelopes,
which state in ink the exact amount
received. At this statement he look
ed truly pitiable It is hardly necss-
sary to state that there was a wide
discrepancy between the figures on
the payroll and those on the pay en-
velopes. The charges for power
were so to 60 cents a week for each
girl. Authorities estimate that the
cost to the manufacturer is from 10
to Is cents. In addition to these
charges various fines and other de-
vices had reduced the wages con-
siderably below the payroll schedule,
while the floral offering for his de-
ceased daughter had further helped
to tighten the girls purses.
when I asked him if his employees
had not petitioned him to give up
the semi-annual picnics. for the rea-
son that their wages were always re-
duced Immediately before and after,
he did not answer at once. l repeat
ed the question, and not very court
eously he admitted that they had.

manufacturer was in a rather unami-
able mood.--New York Tribune.

Curbing the Trusts.

The Supreme Court in its late trust
decisions has virtually settled the trust
question, if the administration has the
pluck to go to the root of the evil as
far as 1t can go, but to make a clean
job of exposing and controlling the
plundering combines will require a
Congress and President that will take
from them the fostering protection they

Partisanshin Defeated.

The rank injustice OF the Republican
statehood bill as passed by the House
has been remedied by the Democratic
Senators joining with a few Republi-
cans voting to amend the bill so as to
give statehood to Oklahoma and Indian
Territory, and leaving to the future the
question of admitting New Mexico and
Arizona. The Republican partisan plan
Of forcing the two last named Terri
tories into the Union as one State, when
their people are bitterly opposed to such
partnership, because it is expected
that the Democrats will carry Okla
homa and thus increase their vote in
the United States Senate, but cannot
carry New Mexico and Arizona COM
bined, was thus fortunately defeated.
1t now remains for the Republican par
tisans of the House to back down in ac-
cordance with common sense and fair
play, or take the responsibility Of de-
feating the bill
