The Inverted Rake.

From Harper's Weekly.
There is a man in Pittsburg who will
be married in short while, and will oc-
cupy the house a few rooms of which
he has used during his bachelor days. He
takes the greatest pleasure in showing
his intimate friends about the place, and
Is especially delighted at the astonish-
ment they express when his own den"
is reached. He has always been a quiet,
studious fellow, but as refitted the room
gives the appearance of the lounging
place of regular rounder. There are
racks of long pipes, photographs of ac-
tresses are stuc kabout the chimney glass,
a shelf of beer stems runs all the way
around the room and a few femme gloves,
handkerchiefs and fans are scattered
about
Great scotto Jack!' the last visitor
gasped, where did you get this outfit,
and why?''
Bought out a college fellow" was
the complacent reply. Just think how
pleased that dear little girl will be when
she sees all this truck and thinks how
much wickedness she has won me away

Dixie Home: The progress of medicine
has been so rapid of late that many in
the profession have not kept abreast with
IT'S marvellous Advancement Not so with
Drs. Dozier and Dozer. DR. o. T. Dozler
has recently spent some time In New
York investigating and studying the latest
inventions in his special line and has
purchased valuable instruments To aid In

were sitting In the back part of the
church while the reverend father was
reading mass. They soon began to get
restless. and before long were making
considerable commotion. This greatly an

was through with the service he hur-
ried to the tots to reprimand them. The
little ones were so busily engaged that
they did not notice him until he was
standing beside them.

knack of telling what opponent is going
to carry the ball before the play begins,
by the way he plants his feet. 1t does not
seem incredible, then, that blind players
can locate him by the sound Of his run
ming. How they get under the ball on
the kickoff and on punts is another
question. AS a matter of fact they are
not successful in getting under kicks.
With the exception of certain of the
back field, who have partial sight--and
they only on very bright days-they
make no effort to catch the ball. They
wait till it strikes the ground and then
spring for it. guided by the faint swish
the pigskin makes as 1t goes through the
air football Is one of the most per-
verse of all inanimate objects when 1t
bounds, owing to its shape, and 1t would
seem as If the seeing players had an inn
mense advantage in capturing 1t. Yet that
faint swish is to the blind boys almost
what eyesight is to their opponents. and,
though they doubtless dread a punting
game, their record does not show that 1t
has special disaster for them.

The Hlnher Educafinn

The colleges of Alabama will soon have their annual commencement ex- ercises for this year behind them, and then presidents, trustees, and enthusi- astie alumni will begin active work in soliciting new students for the fall term In other days, commencement over, everybody connected with the college took a rest. It was a long sum mer vacation, and little was done for the college in the way of canYassing.
 In these strenuous days there is much competition in the college world. Able men are employed to canvass from one years end to the other, and in the summer time the wide-awake president after brief vacation, takes the field and does effective work in listing boys of college age. An aca- demic education is more generally ap- preciated in the country districts than it was twenty-five years ago, and the prosperity of the southern farmer makes the college canvasser's job com paratiyely easy. Last year the insttu- tions of higher learning in Alabama wore prosperous, and unless all signs fail, the scholastic year of 1907-0S will find the class rooms just as well filled.

ship Is also scholarly. A Presbyterian elder is always a man above the aver age of intelligence, and it often hap pens that he is almost as well read in church history and theology as the pastor With such material entering into the makeup of the assembly, the deliberations of this highest court of the Southern Presbyterian church can not fail to be interesting and instruct i've. Nothing very sensational will oc- cur but pastmasters in polemics will make the debates lively. and, if the occasion calls for it, a little fur will fly, but within parliamentary limits.
 Thrice welcome are the Presby- terians.

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
Work at Camp Hill.

Last Sunday afternoon Captain Hob son. member of Congress from the Sixth district, delivered an address in this city in favor of the Camp Hill instltute.'' said well known citizen yesterday, and ad- ded, "but it is really strange that so few of. our people know what the thing means. Lyman Ward, Yankee, came to the south seeking whom he could most aid, and after investigation concluded that Camp Hill. in Ta1lapoosa county, in this state, was the most available point at which to give aid to the white boys of the country, and for years he has per- sistently worked on this line with results that are simply marvellous
 MT. Wards institute is without en- dowment and without funds and he is here, as I understand. for the purpose of raising money to help him In this great work, and surely Birmingham will not permit him to return empty handed, for his labors are along line that must appeal to all who have the interest of Alabama at heart"

In Rural Districts

Good roads and rural free delivery routes go together, and good roads will bring better rural schools. Alabama seems to be in a fair way to get all these things before a great while.
 The good roads movement inaugur- ated in Alabama three or four years ago resulted in decided improvement of country highways, and the recent agitation and instruction by govern ment experts who accompanied Con- gressman Hobson to the Sixth district will naturally revive interest in road building throughout the state When it is obvious what convenience and economy good roads mean to the farmer and how the farmers property values are enhanced one wonders why a campaign of education should be needed to stimulate the people in the rural sections to push forward the work. The cost of road making Is not expensive; and certain it is that no outlay of money or labor will bring such large returns as macadam high ways.
 There Is no excuse for bad roads anywhere: and for populous counties like Jefferson to have stretches of mud roads in winter is simply disgrace. The Alabama Good Roads association has accomplished much in the way of developing public opinion and stirring up the farmer. Let it continue it's eff forts vigorously and systematically and with the cooperation of government officials who have reduced road build ing to science, Alabama should soon become as famous for the excellence of its country driveways as 1t was back. ward when the present movement was started.

Music and Business.

'I not only enjoyed the Conservatory concert at Cable hall," said well known citizen, but I was impressed with the fact that two of the performers were prominent in business circles. l refer to this matter with hearty approval and to contradict the old notion. unfortunately prevalent among commercial people in America, that munscianship and busi- ness would not mix. Julian F. Dow, who Is at the head of a large and prosperous industry, played with the finished tech nique and artistic feeling of solid pro- fessional pianist, the Scherzo from Saint-Saens concerto; while In the orches- tra Oliver Chalifoux played the violin like a matured musician. MT. Chalifoux studied for several years at the Paris Conservatoire; afterwards played first violin in a symphony orchestra at the Ballet Theatre in Paris, and then on his return to America played and taught in Chicago. For a number of years he has been a partner in the firm of J. l.. Chal- ifoux X Co.,, and manager of the firms large interests here He helped to organ ize the Birmingham Board of Trade and was it's first president. If there Is any more thorough merchant, or one who watches his business more closely than Mir. Chalfoux, haven't run across him.
 ''As music is the highest of all the arts, the pity is it is not studied seriously by every man who aspires to culture There is no reason why every young business man should not be at least passably good amateur performer on piano, organ, strings, or wind instrument, just as is the case in Germany where education, art, and commercial prospects 20 together"

NICKNAME OF INDIANA

ye--s back are doubtful. Another strange etymology Is "huzza.' from the habit of Indiana fatboatmen at southern levees of Jumping up and cracking their heels together and yelling 'huzza" whence they were called huzza boys"
 MT. Dun shows that "hoosier in Ten nessee, North Carolina, Virginia, Mis- souri, means "a countryman," "a rough countryman." Thus Indianians in the south are sometimes mortified. An Indian apolis woman writes:
 While visiting Columbia, S. C., was walking one day with young gentleman, and VIC passed rough looking country man.. My! what a hoosier,' exclaimed my escort That Is very noble term to apply to such an object I said. Why so! hs enquired. Why. I am a Hoosier- all Indiana people are,' I answered. 'Ohi he rejoined. With us a hoosier means a jay
 MT. Dunn Is sure that :. 'Hoosier' car ries Anglo-Saxon credentials" but he has hard work to find them. No admirer of Hoesier literature will see any re- lation between "hosier" and the English verb ''hoose"
 "It is used now to denote a disease common to calves The symptoms of this disease include staring eyes, rough coat with hair turned backward, and hoarse wheezing. So forlorn an aspect might readily suggest giving the name .hooser' or 'hoo sier, to an uncouth. rough look ing person."
 Calves, forlorn, hoose, hoosier; never and dayl If the word Is English it must come from Who's Who," mainly word of Hoosiers. The English dialect word ''hoozer," anything unusually great" is also helpful. MT. Dunn is an accommo- dating etymologist. He mentions as "a possibility the Indian word "huzur," "a respectful form of address to persons of rank and superiority; and ''howsha," ed your invitation I was called upon by two of your officers.
 When you're in Chicago next month,' said these gentlemen, we want to know if you'll be our guest at luncheon. We arc anxious for you to go against the Chi cago Press club
 Gentlemen I replied, it will afford me great delight to go against the Press club, because its members have gone against me so often" !"
