Hill Tells s Story.

Isaac w. Hill, one of the best known citizens of the state, told an amusing story last night concerning a lady's in- depreciation of one of the recent actions of the legislature.
 We were hunting in South Alabama, '' began MT. Hill and being aware of the strictness of the game laws of the state were proceeding with care. We finally decided that 1t was best that we request permission of the owner of a large farm before trespassing on her grounds. We asked permission, and it was readily granted. Then l urged the lady to give me that permission in writing. She at once declared that such an ac- ton was not necessary, stating that she owned 160 acres on that side of the road and 160 on this. Why cried she, who have we in Alabama? A king, ruler a monarch, a czar, that it is not enough that l give you verbal permission to hunt on my own territory. Must l go to the trouble of writing you permission to drink from my we'll or feed from my table" I finally insisted, however, and obtained the written permission. After writing 1t the lady delivered herself of the following: "I hear the legislature is doing nothing but protecting birds and killing railroads. To what is this coun- try cominR?' ''

Alabama Waterways

The waterways movement was broad
 ened to include all sections of the Mo- bile basin, regardless of state lines, and all parts of the Tennessee river, whether 1t flows in Kentucky or under the shadows of Sand mountain. Be- sides being broadened it was made permanent, and the next convention is to be held in Mobile in the spring. Perhaps the third convention will be held in Rome, Ga, or Chattanooga, Tenn. It is no pent-up Utica, and state lines do not confine it. It is to be known hereafter as the Mobile Basin and Tennessee River association, and it's field lies in four states-Missis- sippi along the Tombigbee, Tennessee along the river of that name and it's

rom the Richmond Times-Dispatch.

From the RIchmond I1meS-DlSpdtcfl.
 3 HOSE movements toward prohibit kU ton in various sections of the
 country of which newspaper redears at a distance learn only the bare results, are being fought out on the ground with the utmost vigor and in- tensity. No little ability is being shown by each side in the concrete and striking expression of its arguments. At Opelika, Ala, for example, MT. J. B. Green, q Methodist Sunday school superintendent, used with telling effect, a poster which read as follows:
 Most of our old customers are rapidly dropping out. Ten committed suicide last week. 20 are in jail; (eight are in the chain gang; 15 were sent to the poorhouse; one was hanged; three were sent to the insane asylum. Most of the balance aint worth fooling with; they've got no money We are just obliged to have new customers-fresh young blood or we will have to shut up shop. Don't make amy difference whose boy you are; we need you. You will be welcome. If you once get started with us we guar antee to hold you. Our goods are sure. Come early-staye late.

The Birmingham age-herald., 1907-11-21

Out of the present reform wave, which is to all intents and purposes revolu- tion, perhaps the way will be found. As Senator Miller has said, the prima facie presumption is that all acts of the legislature are constitutional and valid and they must be enforced until they are adjudged unconstitutional. Here is the issue, and here is where the state makes stand, and it is a comfort at least to know that nine railroads out of every ten throughout the country are acting up to Senator Millers statement of the legal prima facie presumption

being used by the opposite faction. Thus a corner saloon in Delaware city f1aunt- ed for days before election a large sign @ masterpiece in its way-which informed the passer-by in faring letters:
 Boys Who Want to Drink Can't
 Get It in This Saloon. They Will
 Have to Wait for the Prohibition
 Speakeasy.
 And so the fight wages on. Meanwhile B of West Virginia's 55 counties are dry. Forty-six of Virginia's 100 are dry. So are 62 of North Carolinas 97, F of South Carolina's fl, 94 of Kentuckys 11s, 34 of F'lorida's AT, 29 of Alabama's 67, 69 of Mis- sissippi's 76, 23 of Louisana's 59 (par- ishes), 145 of Texas 243 5S of Arkansas 75. In Tennessee liquor Is sold in three cities and three town only. The whole of Georgia is dry from January 1 next. Oklahoma, which came into the union on Saturday, entered with constitutional pro- hibition Of the 1256 counties in the entire south, SS3 are wholly dry, and ss others partly so.
 In the last twelve months prohibition has unquestionably made large gains. Yet United States internal revenue re- ceipts for tha four months from July 1 to November 1 increased from $S4 190.- O47. .S6 in 1906 to sS7003, ,910 S4 in 1907. Why? Who will say that this additional s. 100000 of internal taxes all went for chew ing tobacco and cheroots?

Cairo, H., November 2O.-The case in which the steamer Fowler is charged with violating certain observations of the rules governing pilots on the river, as we'll as putting the President of the United States in danger of his life on the trip from Cairo to Memphis, came up for trial before the Memphis in spectors,' Captains Waltz and Hodge, here today The charges were brought by Captain vanduser of the government steamer Lily, one of the consorts of the steamer Mississippi, on which the President was travelling. Captain Vandu- ser charged that the Fowler ran past his boat without sounding her whistle and took her course too near the Presi- dents boat

"HIccUP" OR HIccoUGH"?

From the Boston Herald.
 The New York Times makes merry with the University Press of Columbia because '.hiccough'' is hereafter to be spelled 'hic- cup >It admits, however, that it does know whether the students will be com pelled to spell the word ''hiccup,' spell ing in that droll. Matthewsian manner
 As a matter of fact, the earlier spelling in English was ''hiccup' or with vari- ant of cop The spelling in the six teenth century, when the word first ap- peared in English literature, was 'hic- kop'' or ''hikup." Burton of the "Anat- omy of Melancholy preferred "hick-hop.' This was in 1921, and a few years later Heywood, the dramatist, the ''prose Shakespeare" as Lamb called him. used the form ''hickup.''
 Why "hiccough'? Because. to quote from Dr. Murray's New English Diction- ary, there was an erroneous impression that the second syllable was cough

Baraca Concer..

Charles Edward Clark X Co. appeared last evening in the lecture he'll of the First Baptist church under the auspices of the Baraca class to very enthusias- tic and appreciative audience The pubic Is indebted to the management of the Baraca Lyceum course for securing this attraction. Mir. Clark has baritone of excellent and rare quality He sings with such feeling and expression that he at once, becomes a favorite with the audi ence. Mss Adams, the violoncellist, sue ceeds in drawing from her instrument tones that really go to the heart. Miss Thompson has a rare lyric soprano voice of much power and sweetness, and al- ways responded smilngly to the repeated recalls. Mir. Snyder is a pianist of un- usual ability.
 This company presented by far the most original and best programme that the Lyceum followers have ever witnessed in Birmingham

WHERE THERE'S A WILL THERE'S

 It was noble Roman,
 In Rome's imperial day, Who heard a coward croaker
 Before the battle say: They're safe in such a fortress, There's no way to shake it''- "Oni on" exclaimed the hero, "Tll findh way, or make it!' Is Fame your aspiration?
 Her path is steep and high; In vain he seeks the temple,
 Content to gaze and sigh: The shining throne Is waiting, But he alone can take 1t Who says, with Roman flrmness, I'll find way. or make 1t! Is Learning your ambition!
 There is no royal road; Alike the peer and peasant
 Must climb to her abode; ? Who feels the thirst of knowledge In Helicon may slake it, If he has still the Roman will
 To find a way, or make It! Are riches worth the getting? Ihey must De bravery sousHt' With wishing and with fretting, The boon cannot be bought; To all the prize is open,
 But only he can take It. Who says, with Roman courage, 7 I'll find a way, or make IL!

November 20.-King Alfonso and Queen Victoria of Spain, who are guests of the Duke of Portland, at tended a ball tonight given in their honor, in the famous underground ball room at Wellback Abbey, which was excavated by the fifth Duke of Port land and which has not been used in years. The whole suite of subterran- can chamb CTS and the passages com municating with them were dazzlingly illuminated with electric lights.

This spelling, however, as Dr. Murray says, has not affected the received pronuncia- tion, and should be abandoned as mere error. The word was derived through 'hicket' and "hickock' from an echoic stem which appeared earlier in several European languages. The English "hic- ket" the earliest form in English, corre- ''hoqueter'' and the Walloon "hikete."
 The Times says: There Is no harm in this sort of thing, but it seems both un- couth and ill-timed." This statement in view of the history of ''hiccup.' is anus ing. When Thackeray spoke of those who ''hiccupp'd church and state with fervor." was he "uncouth"? sHiccup does seem superfuous." No, to any student of words.

--sr---- ---- ADJUSTMENTS.
At the Jefferson.

The Grand Mogul," at the Jefferson theatre last night, had the principal qualifications of a good musical com edy, cast along conventional lines. The piece Is musical, diverting and layishlv mounted. The costumes are bewilder- ing in their variety and the setting of the second act was one of the rich est and most artistic seen here in a long time The company was also unusually large and this accounted in some part for the success of the ensemble num- bers.
 The music of ''The Grand Mogul" is its most attractive feature. There are some exquisite melodies and none that are wholly bad. Several of the songs were so well done that they called for repeated encores. Not more than one or two of the musical offerings were permitted to go without an encore The lit of the music was enhanced, if pos siole, by the beauty of the costumes. The vocal ability of the company was noticeable in the chorus singing, an octette of male voices being conspicu- ous. and the well known charm of Maud Lillian Berri was never more in evidence. She sang perhaps half a dozen numbers with delightful grace and voice that was very sweet to hear. Miss Berri's personality and ex- treme good looks make her an ideal figure in musical comedy.
 The accomplishments of Frank Mou- Ian developed conceits that brought smiles and more smiles. MT. Moulan has good idea of fun and he is at his best in rapid quip and jest, rattling along In a breezy way and hopping about with blithe agility. He Is fun nier In ''The Grand Mogul" than he was In "Humpty DurHpty," although the lat ter Is considered one of his greatest successes. One of the most fetching songs in the performance was Nestle By My Side" done by Mir Moulan and Maud Lillian Berri. They were encored over and over.

 IN A LITTLE TOUGH TOWN. Fifteen stores and ten saloons, A crazy street between, Some bronchos 10 the posts are hitched A few cowboys are seen. Then, like whirlwind from the plain, There comes a noisy band, Who fire their pistols in the air And rounds of drinks demand. mighty whoop, a string of oaths- And they possess the town, On foamy ponies, white with dust, Careering up and down. All day the orgy runs it's race And through the fevered night, With poker, whisky and roulette, And women, brown and white. But when the rosy foot of dawn Comes stealing OCT the plain bitter flavor creeps into The parting glass they drain. Subdued at last they stumble forth And duly ride away, The desert must remove the stain Of that mad holiday.
