IN HOTEL LOBBIES
Too Warm for Hunters.

This has not been good season for
the hunters said John Fletcher, one of
the best and most enthusiastic hunters
in Birmingham. THE weather has been
too hot all this winter for much shoot
ing The birds have been plentiful, put
in hot weather the dogs do not work
nearly as well as in cold weather, and
the scent is not so good. In hot weather
it does not stay on the ground and the
dogs cannot work satisfactorily.
"Then there is another thing. In hot
weather a sportsman does not enjoy get
ting out in his hunting toys. 1t is too
firing and he does not enjoy it as much.
"There is the greatest abundance Of
fine hunting dogs in Alabama now. Men
who used to be content with owning s.
and $40 dogs. now want dogs that are
worth from 800 to $500, and they must
be registered and the best that can be
had. In every little town in the state
any number of dogs can be found, and
fine dogs can also be found all Through
the country
People are turning to the raising of
dogs just as they are to the breeding of
fine horses, and this is naturally improy-
ing the class of dogs in all parts of the
country, especially in the SOUTH"

Louisiana Also obstreperous.

I'VE are having a great deal of trouble
with the railroad commission in Louis-

and general manager of the New Orleans
and Northwestern, land we have to sop
about 60 per cent of what they do by in
junction. They are very radical now, but
think they will be more just later on.
Il am sorry to see the attitude that
some of the legislatures are taking on
the railroad proposition. They are radi-
cal and unjust. If the railroads are do
ing anything wrong they should be cor
rected and made TO pay for their mis-
deeds, but I do not think that all this
unjust legislation should be passed.

POOR SWETTENHAM.
Staid Boston raised her learned browa
And said he was a cad.
Old New York town did swear aloud
He was an ass, egad.
Chicago said he was a fool
And Washington a chump.
And all the other blooming towns
Fell on him like a lump
OF lead or other heavy stun
To make him sick and sore,
Ayowng that he'd never snub
The Z. S. any more.
And after all the diplomats
And all the sailors, too,
And all the cities and the towns
And all the boys in blue,
And everybody else had "cussed'
Him out and called him names,
And all the papers had declared
Just who Great Britain blames;
And after everything that could
Be thought of had been said,
They started in again to heap
Abuses on his head.

story of the chorus girl bride
and the youthful millionaire. Those fair
les who appear are vulgar faries-bac-
chantes, whose revels are fired by cham
payne in gilded cafes far from the green
sward where the silver moonshine glist-
ems on the grass. where flowers nod in
time to secret melody and great oak
trees look down benignly on a harmless
rout. No, the story of the chorus girl
bride and the youthful millionaire is cf
another sort. Hideous shapes stand be-
side the tables and burst of drunken
laughter are answered in mockery by a
figure, grim and silent, which waits the
appointed time. Then in breath, the
tinsel is swept away, the gaudy covering ;
are torn off and retribution comes like
a storm. The sweet old love stories of
other days are better worth the reading.
CONFINEMENT.
He sang a song of happiness,
His heart was full of cheer
And as he toiled along the road
He said, while l am here
1 might as we'll be satisfied
To take life as it comes,
For growing never patched a roof,
Or brought begger crumbs"
Twas thus he lived from day to day
A life of simple ease,
Not very hard to entertain,
Or very hard to please.

little house to hold his all
His troubles were but few.
Each morn he rose up smilingly
And laughed to see the sun,
At eventide. with pipe aglow,
He marked his duty done
His appetite was fairly good,
He had some clothes to wear
And looking round his little world,
He found good everywhere.
And so the golden years sped on
And turned his hair to gray
With kindly mien old age advanced
And stole his youth away.
Ambitions storms, the curse of wealth
Passed Ger his humble head,
And yet king might envy him
The sunny life he led.

only solution of the difficulty Is to get
out and try to make them come our way.
