w A. Garrett, general manager of the Queen and Crescent route, passed through Birmingham at an early hour this morn- ing en route from New Orleans to Gin cinnati. This is his farewell trip over the system before he takes charge of the Seaboard. he having been recently elected first vice president in entire charge Of operations of that line.
 It is reported here that meeting of the directors of the Cincinnati Southern will be held in Cincinnati today, at which time it is probable that a successor 10 MT. Garrett will be named. There is great deal of speculation as to who will be elected general manager None of the railroad men seem to know or to be able to tell which one of the half dozen men mentioned in connection with the place will be named.
 MT. Garrett takes charge of the Sea board on the first of next month and will make tour of inspection over the entire system shortly after that date. He will probably be in Birmingham about De- cember 15 or possibly sooner.
 The report of the Alabama Car Service association for the month of october showed a decrease of about 45Oo cars from the number handled in October, 1905. The decrease is due largely to the scarcity of cars, only about one-third of the number that could be used being available now, especially for the coal mines.
 Last month CLOG cars were handled by the Alabama roads. and in october of last year 69.s59 were handled by the same roads in Alabama
 Following is the report of the associa- ton issued Saturday:

 Jefferson county, including the great city of Birmingham, has population of more than 250,000 souls in it's boundaries with its metropolitan population-yet it's facilities for administering and enforcing the laws are but little superior to those Of the smallest county in the state. The expenditures for the maintenance of the higher courts of the county will cost ap- proximately $100,000 for 1906. although the judges of these courts receive only nomi- mai salaries.
 Some of the higher officials of the county should be placed on salaries the same as the solicitors office, which, in our opinicn. is well and efficiently managed as any department of the coun- ty. It furnished a handsome revenue to the county in excess of the salaries paid flor it's maintenance. In our opinion the act creating the board of revenue should be amended so that the chairman Of this beard would receive sufficient salary 10 justify him in giving his entire time to the discharge of the duties of his of flee. We are of the opinion that the board

The story that General Frederick
Funston, owing to the absence Of an
orderly, had to make his own bed dur
ing the army maneuvers at Camp
Tacoma must amuse the little man
whose sword has been his fortune
When he was campaigning with the
hunted tatter-demaliOns of Maxine
Gomez the adventurer from Kansas
had to hustle his grub as we'll as TO
spread his blanket in the manigua, and
was none the worse, but rather the
better for it. The privations he en-
dured in Cuba seasoned him for the
hardships he had to 60 through in the
Philippines, and the contrast between
his lot in Cuba and the honor and
dignity he enjoys as a brigadier gen
eral in the United States army must
fill him with wonder at the caprices
Of destiny. But it is to be said to the
credit Of the doughty little general
that he has had a heart for every fate
and improved every opportunity. What
he lacked in West Point training he has
made up by natural aptitude.-New

Turkey rhat Rent The Abbot.

Representative Joseph Sibley CT
Pennsylvania is very rich and very
fond of horses. He has a stock farm
that he is constantly trying to i'm
prove, and attends many of the horse
sales.
He went to New York when the
great stallion, The Abbot, was sold.
The horse brought $4,000. Sibley
waited at the ringside for time after
that sale talking about it, and then
went to a lunch counter in the build
ing where the sale was conducted and
order turkey sandwich. He got a
silver of meat ON two very thin pieces
Of bread.
'How mnch?'' he asked.
"Fifty cents" the waiter replied.
SIbley took out a half dollar and
handed it to the waiter. 4nen he
reached IN his pocket and took out a
$40 bill. He held that out.
What's that for?" asked the waiter.
"You have paid already"
81 know" said Sibley, ''but now 1
want to bet YOU"
"Bet me ON what?"
BET you $40 that if you sell all OF
that turkey it will bring more than
The Abbot did. Saturday Evening

1t is a shame for people who
work hard for their money to send
it off to Montgomery Ward q Co.,

in return receive some trashy goods
that wouldn't be ft to decorate a

buy a better grade of the like
article from some local merchant
and have it worth something, and
besides help to build up local in

with mail order houses and help
build up Chicago why would it not
be a good thing for these people to
live in Chicago and then they will
not have to pay any freight biIls9

Leg Worth More Than Man.

Jesse James, the noted outlaws son,
is, at the age of 80. one of the most
talented and respected lawyers Of
Kansas City.
In a claims case that he recently
won, Mr.. James told an amusing
story.
''There was a woman" he said,
whose husband was killed in a rail-
road accident. The railroad, to avoid
suit. gave her $1,000 damages.
''The sum satisfied the woman, but
a month or two afterward, taking up a
newspaper, she read about man who
had lost his leg in the same accident,
and behold this man was given by the
company damages to the amount Of
$500.
1T made the woman mad. She
fastened at once to the office Of the
railways claim adjuster. She said
bitterly:
How is this? Here you give a
man $500 for the loss of a leg, while
you only gave me $4,000 for the loss
of my husband
'The claim adjuster smiled amiably,
and said in soothing voice:
Madam, the reason is quite plain
The $500 won't provide the poor man
with a new leg, whereas with your So
600 you can easily get a new husband,
and perhaps better one
