attached to the hotel. Thak underly- ing purpose was an exchange of views and experience a comparison of con- ditions and an inspiration from asso- ciation. The conference permits the educational leaders of Alabama to know and understand educational conditions in Kentucky. It permits Louisiana to learn from North Caro- lima the success of some educational plan peculiar to that state. It gives the State of North Carolina the chance to adopt c method that has been most beneficial to the educational system of Louisiana.
 If the morning session of the con- ference taught one thing moro thor oughly than 1t did another. 1t taught the great pride arising from tho 'won- to no one State, but 1t is general throughout the South.
 In this connection the words of Sec retary Edgar Gardner Murphy in his annual report are especially signifi- cant when he says About $25.000 per year has been expended indirectly or directly in this work. It is but a be fairly said that 1t Is a sum which has entered-not as the paramount factor-but as one of the vital factors into that significant total of tho S14.- 000.00 of increased annual increase revenues which within the past five years have been voted for public edu- cation in our Southern States"
 The report of Superintendent Gun nels emphasized the important fact that Alabama at this juncture was leading in the accomplishments of that revival. Again was this fact emphasized at and the Northern newspaper man lost Q good story.
 Breck Musgrove. the picturesque Alabamian who has played Mark Han na to Captain Hobson's political ann bitions, Is here with Hobson boom for president. The Walker county Warwick is industriously exhibiting the Hobson boom in the notel lob btes.
 Mfr. Musgrove Is quite certain that Bryan can never win and he is equally assured that another Parker cam paign would be as disastrous as that of 1904. He argues that the time has come for a Southern man to head the Democratic ticket and he asks his hearers to point him out any Southern man that Is as available as the meeting os the women who are in- which. by the way.

In this, too, Alabama is lead ing The practical accomplishments or this movement were recited by Mrs. Matlock and Mrs. Erwin CraiEhead of Mobile. Mrs. craighead told of the success which had attended intelligent work for several schools.
 The Alabama delegation met late this afternoon for conference. There were twenty-three members present. one of the largest delegations here. The conference was presided over by Superintendent Gunnels. A resolution was passed heartily endorsing the bill in the Legislature to provide capable supervision for the rural schools or Alabama. The bill in question pro- vides that each county superintendent must be the holder of life certih- cate. The Department of Education Is greatly interested in this measure.

Why pistols in hip pockets7 London
Is disturbed over a record in 1906 of
% homicides and attempted homicides
by shooting. In nine months of 1906
New York had 81 such homicides, to
say nothing of uncatalogued attempts,
Last year Chicago, the most American
of our large cities and one-third as
large as London, reported 100 homi-
cides by shooting, and added 1853 sui
cides of the same class. Ask the police
to explain the difference In these death
rates2 They will tell you 1t Is because
of the widespread custom In America
of carrying concealed weapons A pis-
tol In hip pocket Is an encouragement
to quick temper. 1t is a questionable
adjunct for wise man, while fool and
pistol make combination that rep
resents the height of responsibility. A
very large proportion of the men who
carry gums" have little or no excuse
for 1t. Presence of common sense Is
greatly promoted by absence of pistol.
Not only In nearly all cases Is 1t child
ism, useless and positively silly, but 1t
Is also illegal, dangerous and distinct
abettor Of crime. 1t removes from men
not only the opportunity but the neces-
sity for clear thinking. 1t menaces
friend and foe alike. 1t Is the confessed
resort of the rowdy, the bully and the
coward. 1t need not be argued as
point Of law. We ignore thousands Of
other laws. 1t is proposition involv-
ing simple and straightforward COM
mon sense. Take away the pistol and
you probably remove four-fifths of the
possibility of homicide The man who
Is the most amiable to-day Is the very
man who forgets himself tomorrow.
No pistol means no yielding to sudden
criminal impulse; it means fewer I'M
Justifiable homicides and more real
safety for the Individual and for So
ciety, and therefore safer nation.
Leave the gun at home.

The almost universal reverence of
the Indians for the earth is interesting
In connection with their feeling about
the ownership of land. The earth is
regarded as sacred, often 1t is called
the mother" and it appears to rank
second among the gods. A sacrifice of
food is held up first to the sky and
then Is deposited on the earth, and per-
haps rubbed into the soil The first
smoke Is directed to the sky, the second
to the earth and then those to the four
directions In order. Other sacrifices
are commonly held up first to the sky
and then are held toward the earth.
Before beginning to perform any sacred
office the priest or doctor holds his
hands first toward the sky and then
rubs them on the ground. "It Is by
the EARTH" they say, that we live
Without 1t we could not exist. 1t nour-
ishes and supports us. From 1t grow
the fruits that we eat and the grass
that sustains the animals whose flesh
we live on; from 1t come forth and
over Its surface run the waters which
we drink"

RATS COMMIT A BURGLARY.


Effect Entrance to a Bread Box Sap
posed to BE Secure.
A man who was graduated from Yale
In 1884 Is now bachelor. He lives In
very old house on upper Broadway.
The few attentions his house receives
come from charwoman of great age
and little activity. Hence there are
rats on the premises.
They are remarkable rats and when
you are told of their achievements by
their landlord you are inclined to be in
credulous. Yet you can't deny the evil
dences Of their intelligence.
In the kitchen is a large cupboard
On Its broad shelf rests a rather heavy
tin breadbox. Generally it contains
bread.
For a long time the tin cover Kept
the rats out. Then the rats held a coun-
Gil OF war, appointed committee on
ways and means and lived on potato
peelings until the report came In.
The committee did Its work well. II
decided that as rats were poorly equip
ped to cope with tin breadboxes in an
upright position it behooved them to
proceed against the box, push 1t of the
cupboard and allow the well-known
laws of gravitatlon to do the rest.
The plan was a success. Morning
after morning when the owner of the
breadbox came into his kitchen he
found the box on the floor In confusion.
The bread was gone to the last crumb.
Successive falls dented the poor old
box out Of shape and while the owner
Is mild-mannered person he can't af-
ford new breadboxes every week, 10 he
drove two large staples into his Gun
board, fastening them against the boz.
Since then the rats have had no bread.
Another feat the rodents accomplish
ed handily Is even more remarkable.
The owner Of the house keeps his fiour
In large cylindrical can. The ton
fastens on snugly.
The Industrious rats have succeeded
In removing the top from the can on a
dozen different occasions. The opened
can Is tipped over and the -four is con-
sumed, presumably with great rejoic-
Ing.
1t requires quite bit of strength to
remove this cover with the fingers, and
how the rats succeed, using their tough
little noses and paws, 10 beyond any
explaining. But the evidences were
there and the Yale bachelor Is an hon
est man.-New York Sun.
