Mischlevous Habits.

whether you call it bump of de-
cussedness. 1 don't care" said property
owner, there are people in this world
and many of them are in this city,
who think it incumbent upon them to do
damage when no one is looking.
II had a house to rent. 1t was I'M
occupied for about month and during
that time fully one-half the glass in the
windows was broken. A large pane of
glass costs anywhere from SO up. and
when I had to replace four or five of the
large ones, as well as ten or twelve small
ones, I found myself about $50 out of
pocket between the loss of the months
rent and broken glass.
This habit of destructveness is not
confined to breaking glass. 1t is to be
found in the man who puts his muddy
shoes on the cushion in a railroad car,
in the man who overturns trashbox,
In the man or woman who throws banana
or orange peel on the sidewalks.
81 don't know to what cause this spirit
of malicious mischief should be attrib-
uted A boy goes out hunting and he
kills birds, any sort of birds will do so
long as he has something to kill. Other
boys will cut clothes line and lay out
a whole days washing which some poor
negro woman has done. They will open
gates and let stock get out of back yards;
In fact, their eyes are always on the
watch for some depreciation which will
cause loss or annoyance. To chastise them
is to bring down the wrath of the parents
on ones head, and to let them go I'M
punished is simply to encourage them
In their deviltry.
1.-THE remedy for this habit must come
either through schools or the police court,
and it is for the parents to choose"

THE DUEL.

By Eugene Field.
The bingham dog and the calico cat
Side by side on the table sat;
Twas half-past twelve, and what do you
thinkD
Nor one nor tother had slept a wink!
The old Dutch clock and the Chinese plate
Appeared to know. as sure as fate,
There was going to a terrible spat.
II wasn't there; I simply state
What was told me by the Chinese plated
The Bingham dog went 'bow-wow-wow"
And the calico cat replied "mee-ow!"
The air was Uttered in an hour or so
with bits of gngham and calico.
While the old Dutch clock In the chimney
place
I'D with its hands before It's face.
For it always dreaded a family row!
(Now mind: I'm only telling you
What the old Dutch clock declares 10
trueD
The Chinese plate looked very blue,
And walled "Oh, deari what shall We
do?"
But the Bingham dog and the calico cat
Wallowed this way and tumbled that,
Employing every tooth and claw
In the awfuest way you ever saw
And OH how the Bingham and calico
iew
Don't fancy I exaggerated
I got my news from the Chinese plated
Next morning where the two had sat,
They found no trace of dog or cat;
And some folks think unto this day
That burglars stole that pair away!
But the truth about the cat and pup
Is this: They ate each other up,
Now, what do you think Of that.
CThe old Dutch clock IL told me 50.
And that is how came to knowj

Southern Cotton Association

Every additional day brings proof
that the cotton states will send thou
sands here next week to attend the
meetings of the Southern Cotton asso-
citation. Low rates of fare, general
prosperity, and a deep interest in the
work of the association will all pull to
bring here numerous delegates and
other visitors.
Nobody will go hungry here next
week, but unless all our citizens appre-
ciate the extent of the attendance some
may not be comfortably housed. The
committee in charge of the work APP
peal to citizens to open their houses to
attending delegates. All who are will
ing to do this on the basis of reason
able compensation are requested to
notify the committee on accommoda-
lions of their willingness, and the ex-
tent of It.
In all parts OF the cotton states the
interest taken in the convention Is I'M
precedented, and every cotton growing
state will be possibly
every cotton growing county will be,
and there are over eight hundred coun-
ties that cultivate the staple which the
convention is to consider.
The housing of all who come to the
convention is of first Importance, but
the decoration of the city next week
should not be dlsregarded. 1t also
means hospitality, for every banner we
hang out spells Welcome. There can
not be too many decorations nor too
much hospitality, for the city's good.
The city's' reputation is at stake, and
every citizen should do his part towards
seeing that all who come here will go
away friends and even partisans of
Birmingham and Jones valley.

Birminuham's Victory

Birminghams victories in the House
caucus and before the ways and means
committee is Alabama's victory, for
every part of the state will be bene-
flied by the location of a sub-treasury
In this city. Alabama won readily, so
1t has been suggested, because she had
four Senators on the spot, while Geor-
gia had but two. We had two regulars
and two alternates, and all the ac-
counts from Washington agree in
awarding great praise to Alternate
humor seem to have rendered him con-
vincing and popular. Alabama cannot
have too many representatives of that
sort "Why, gentlemen" he exclaimed
before the ways and means committee,
"our Georgia friends seeded yester-
day. Now, engaged in that business
some forty-five years ago. We were
brought back feet foremost, but Geor-
gia seems to forget that. We have only
the kindliest feelings for Georgia. Ala
bama is her daughter; Birmingham,
her granddaughter. She ought not to
refuse this little sub-treasury jewel to
the little daughter of her daughter"
This bit of excellent humor won over
the committee at once, and Birming-
ham soon scored a second practical
victory.
Patriotism and reasonable pride in
the southeast should induce Atlanta to
accept the situation, and to work with
a will to locate a sub-treasury in the
southeastern states. A dog-in- the
Manager policy on the part of Atlanta
at this stage in the proposed legisla-
ton would do that city great harm be-
cause it might deprive the southeast
of sub-treasury in the immediate
future. After such course on At
lanta's part every city and every hand
would be turned against it, and it
would not be able to secure any prize.
Atlanta's true policy lies in straightout
manly action in and out of Congress
hereafter, thus making a record for
fairness and patriotic pride in this sec
ton of the country that will prove
valuable and helpful in an emergency.

HICKS GOES BACK TO MINING.

Los Angeles, Cal, Dispatch in Memphis
Commercial Appeal.
L. b. Hicks announced today that he
has quit the stage forever. Hicks is the
man who, for Is days, was buried alive
in tunnel OF the Edison Electric conf
pany on Kern river, and whose rescue at
tracted the worlds attention. He made
his debut recently as an actor, and 81
sorry spectacle he was.
Such was his stage fright that 1t was
ptlful to see his terror. Hicks had been
coached thoroughly and had committed
to memory the story of his amazing es-
cape from death. His hackers supposed
his tale of the rescue, which, of course.
had been written for him, would make
a hit.
At the last moment Hicks baked. He
refused to go on Mne stage at ALL and
declared he did not care what his man
ager lost.
He finally consented to take a seat in
the front row and answer such questions
as were put to him. When the first ques-
ton was asked he demanded chew of
tobacco before answering.
Then he sat sullenly and answered
questions in monosyllables and grunts
until the crowd that had paid to see him
became weary and left the hall.
Hicks says he prefers mining to lee
turing He signed contract to appear
in public for $500 week. He is going
back to mining at SO day.

IN HOTEL LoBBIES
No Use for Sleep.


81 have been greatly interested in the
recent announcement that scientists arc
about to discover an antidote for IA
tigue.' said a man who keeps up with
sciences advancements.
"A German scholar has decided that
fatigue and its resultant conditions, sleep
and death, are caused by auto-intoxica-
ton of the cellular structures of the
body. In other words the exercise of the
functional organs generates. a poison
faster than it can be thrown off. He
has taken certain animals and put them
through violent exercise until they are
completely exhausted. He then sacrifices
them and procures an extract from the
muscles of the victims. This serum in
jected into a fresh animal brings on
symptoms of fatigue, and IL given in
sufficient quantities causes death within
twenty-four hours.
But If given in small quantities he
finds that an antitoxin serum is developed
which counteracts the effect of the orig
ina1 poison just as diphtheretic antitoxin
counteracts the effects of diphtheretic
germs.
by extracting this antitoxlc serum he
finds that animals which have been poi
soned by this original fatigued muscle
extract will recover In other words he
threatens to produce for US an antitoxic
serum which can be injected into a ia
tigued body which will eounteract fatigue
germs and man will find no further need
for sleep nor rest"
