A boy working In garden In the
village of Grafton, o., saw dog pass
ing along the street and, of course,
he picked up stone and took throw.
The stone hit the dog, and the canine
ran under the feet of team OF
horses. The horses ran away and
dashed into the front of q store.
A man in getting out OF their way
fell and broke his leg A man and a
woman In the store were badly hurt.
The damage to the store was 800.
One horse was killed and the wagon
smashed. and that counted up 5000
more.
It's fun to throw a stone at dog
and see him get a hump on himself,
but sometimes the thing doesn't end
with laugh. In this case the boy who
did the throwing is in jail and wishing
he hadn't done it.-Boston Globe.

gers that confront it. It is difficult to say which is the more hurtful, Harrimanism or Rockefellerism. Har- riman stands for majority grabbing of railroad lines and stock watering and endless manipulation afterwards. Rockefeller stands primarily for in dustrial monopoly by the crushing of competition and vast taxation exacted from S0,000000 of helpless people, These men represent all the forms of speculation and manipulation that abound in Wall street and other specu- lative centers. The wedding out of Harrimanism and Rockefellerism is an immense task, and it is aggravated by the Dingley tariff which must it. self be reformed before greed and speculation can be fully curbed in this country. And here is where the Pres ident's courage fails him. He has plenty of it for all other tasks, but when he is called upon to face the army of greed standing behind our Chinese wall he quails and has not a word to say.

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
Gambllna on Street Cars.

''There is a novel kind of poker which is often played on street cars" said Walter Bode1er last night. "one man takes the cash fare register, and the other the ticket register. On each there are five figures and it not infrequently happens that pairs, threes, and even full houses occur
 "The players agree at what point on the route the game will conclude. It often happens that the hand which looks better to begin with is the weaker when the game is stopped. For instance. to- night as I came to town, at one point of the route the cash fares were termi- mated by three hines. Just as the point where the game was to stop came into sight the conductor rang up another nickel. This caused two of the hines to become 8 1 and a 0. and instead of three of a kind, I found myself possessing nothing.
 "There is a whole lot of entertainment in the game, and it is common in the east. The loser, on dismounting, general ly buys the cigars, or the drinks, and prepares to play again on riding home"

President FlnIeY's Policy

The Southern, the Alabama Great Southern and the Mobile and Ohio railroads serve a good share of this state, and the action of these roads In coming to an agreement with the state concerning rates is a happy and suspicious result. It is a result that should not be forgotten when legisla- tion affecting railroads comes up President Finley and Vice President Russell of the Mobile and Ohio de- serve good 44atment at the hands of the state, and they will assuredly get it.
 They have led the way to a com plete settlement of all railroad troubles in this state, but it seems to be determined that the Louisville and Nashville and allied lines will not spring onto the harmony bandwagon. This means that an extra session of tut ltDioidIuit DN HULL hC determination of President Milton H. Smith to fight the rate bill by in- junctive process renders an extra ses- sion inevitable. Regrettable as this Is it must come, and President Smith speeds it's coming. The expense of an pXtra session is Inc least dis dressing feature of it. The friction of legislation is never welcomed un- less it be absolutely necessary, and an extra session could readily have been avoided next month if President Smith had done what President Fin ley stood ready to accept and has accepted. President Finley's policy will certainly prove to have been the wiser of the two.

"cHARGED WITH DYNAMITE,
Special Session of Legislature Will Be
 Very Strenuous.

Montgomery, October S.-(Special)- After the tensity of Tuesdays excitement fin the corridors and offices at the capitol today is exceedingly quiet. The absence of the Governor, the Auditor and the Su- perintendent of Education left at lea st three departments without official heads. and the quietude which prevailed gave no hint of the approaching extraordinary session, which, it has been predicted, will be strenuous.
 Even discussion of this very important event in A1abamas history is of the most desultory character. The only ones who have anything new to say on the matter are the visitors who come in, and find little else that equals this in importance, or as a basis for conversation.
 The speculation now is as to the length of the session. Following the acknowl- edged declination of President Smith, of the Louisville and Nashville, to accept any propositions that might have been of fered by the state, through Governor Conner, interest Is keen to know just what Is to be done. One state house officer proclamation calling for the special ses sion was Charged with dynamite. Just what this means he would not state, but there is no doubt but already the text of many bills that will be introduced has been decided on, and that nearly all of them are now in the course of prepara- ton.
 The opinion of prominent state officials and politicians is that the session will last at least 90 days, and perhaps longer.

 -2 King Henry w.
Rivers and HarbOrS

The Commercial club of Mobile is to meet in special session next Sat urday night to consider the subject of calling an Alabama flyers and har- bors convention. Because a rivers and harbors bill is not usually con sidered in the long session of Con- gross there is an inclination to post pone the proposed convention year. But the Mississippi valley is so in- slstent the subject may be brought up at the long session and a rivers and harbors bill agreed upon. Mis- sissippi, Texas and Tennessee are pre- pairing to call conventions, and it would be prudent at any rate to call an Alabama convention.
 It is a mistake to say that a can vention cannot be gathered in a months time. The cities that are in- terested in Alabama waterways could be induced to send delegates on short notice, and the people of Mobile should assume the leadership by nam- ing the time and place for holding the proposed convention. President Craft should act up to his convictions.

Morse's Steamship Scheme

Charles w.

He actually had gained control of the Hudson river boats and of various coastwise lines, and now he has gotten into financial trouble, the people along the coast are anxious to know what will become of all the coastwise lines.

President RooseveIt's Courage

President Roosevelt's speech at Nashville was doubtless written long before the Morse-Heinze troubles in New York occurred, but whether it was written after or before those troubles came up it fills the situation admirably. "If We sit supine." said the President, and let men of great wealth set before the country as a whole the standard of successful dis honesty, so that young men are taught to think of business trickery, of eva sion and violation of the law, of stock gambling, and swindling as the chief roads to financial success, that if we should let such state of af- fairs exist, not only do we bring about a determination of the public conscience as whole but as sure as fate we ultimately invite an ignorant and vile reaction, which in trampling out the wrong, will trample out much right at the same time, which in pun ishing the wealthy wrongdoer will in fict the punishment so brutally and so unskilfully as to confound in it many men who have done honestly and well. I'want to see the process, the process of gaining wealth by success ful dishonesty-stopped before it goes 50 far as to invite the very reaction of which l speak"
 The President spoke too late to head off all the schemes of the army bf greed, but he did not speak too late to warn the country of the dan

Women as Witnesses.

'Nowhere is the difference in char acter and disposition between men and women more noticible than upon the an attorney.
 q would rather have one woman on my side than ten men, and equally SC would rather have ten men against me than one woman.
 "When man goes on the witness stand he becomes very nervous and be- gins all sorts of fool tricks. He fidgets and twists about in his seat rubs his nose, scratches his ear and fumb les about with his hands, sometimes twtrl- ing his hat and at other times rubbing his snouth. All these proceedings create a bad impression on jury and make 1t appear that he is trying to keep something back.
 with woman it is different. She quietly takes a seat and listens atten- lively to the questions, gives direct answers and preserves her composure under the most rigid cross examination 4d&E she has made a statement she W stand to it, even though it be sk1(kii that the statement is highly improbable. There's no fdgiting With her. and the franl<ness of her answers will convince a jury every time.
 As a rule a woman's recollection of an event is better than a mans. The picture made on her memory is strong CT and clearer, and while a good many legal authorities say that a great deal of a woman's memory of an event is pure imagination, still she draws a pretty fair picture and is able to inn press the idea upon the jury.

Dirty Street Cars Aaain.

'"rhe Age-Herald's cartoon several days ago on the dirty street car question was a timely one, and one which emphasizes a matter which should be agitated until decided results are obtained.' said 8 reader yesterday
 Tt seems to me that the company is well paid for its service and the public is due in return, at least clean seats in the cars on which they ride, though on most of the lines even the dirty ones are at premium. I have a number of times heard ladies complain of getting their white waists or skirts soiled on the street cars, and most men avoid putting their elbows up on the sides of the seats for fear of soiling their cuffs.
 Ut appears to me that the matter of sweeping and dusting the cars thorough ly before they leave the barn every morn ing would not be an imposition. The company should consider the service it would render the public in this matter"

long distances, and even coal has been shipped in large quantities from mines fin Kentucky through Alabama via Pensa- cola to Tampico, Mexico. As applied to commerce. therefore, distance has been obliterated by low transportation charges. As affecting the citizens of Alaa pma your contention, while of vital importance to the railways, is unimportant in compari-
 son that the railways should receive rates which will insure profitable operation and thus enable the carriers to furnish lm- proved and increased facilities. Neverthe-
 less, it has for some time been your hobby, and you have undoubtedly created a serious stuation-one that should be
 deprecated by all having the material in-
 terests of the state at heart. You have
 fomented public clamor which you have
 and are directing, and by which you
 have obtained preferment; but in doing
 you have inflicted incalculable injury
 upon the state.
 Under these circumstances, I again ap-
 peal to you to earnestly strive to do
 what you can-and which undoubtedly you are in a position 10 do effectively- ' to quiet the apprehension and restore,
 or endeavor to restore, confidence so bad ly impaired. And I again urge that you cancel the call converting the legislature
 for the avowed purpose of enacting puni-
 tive laws to punish the Louisville and
 Nashville and South and North Alabama Railroad companies for the simple offense of exercising the right guaranteed every citizen by the constitution of Alabama and of the United States, which prohibits the depriving of such citizens of Life liberty or property without due process of law" Permit the differences between
 the railways and you, as representing the state, to be decided by the impartial tri- buna1 which. under our form of govern
 ment, has been created to adjust such contentious. Yours truly,
