Gray takes it that with the vote received by Captain Banlhead in the primary and the feeling that exists in his favor, there will be no serious opposition to his ambitions and he will be allowed the full fruit of his victory in the primary, even if tse endorsement did not specifically embrace the legislature.
 Captain Bankhead received his commis- sion as senator by virtue of the appoint ment of the governor today. He was ac- companied to the office of the governor by Capt. Jack Cranford of Jasper, and the two spent a pleasant half hour with the executive. He returned from his Monday trip to Selma feeling very much encouraged and expressed himself as well pleased with the situation in that part of the state

Falkner Memorial.

The tablet to be put in the cornerstone of the Memorial hall at the Old Soldiers Home, at Mountain Creek, in memory of Capt. J. M. Falkner, will be of Alabama marble and should be set before many weeks. The board of control will have a meeting at the home early in July, at which time arrangements for the pro- gramme will be made
 At this meeting there will be somewhat of a rally al the home and the citizens will be given an insight into what is to be done It Is regarded as eminently fit ting that Alabama marble should be the material used for the tablet as Captain Falkner was ever a man to talk up his state and its resources. He had taken more or less interest in the marble de- posits in Talladega county, and predicted that they would in the end make the state rich.
 A number of ladies will be at the July meeting at the home, in order to get In line with the movement. Governor Conner who has taken great interest in the plan to keep green the memory of the founder of the home. will be al the meeting and will lend every aid in his power to mak- ing it an occasion of great interest to all
 Would Hang for Brother.
 One brother offering himself to be hanged for another is development in the office of Sheriff Belser today
 The Rev. John Beeman, a Baptist preacher, and a brother of David Beeman negro who Is sentenced to be hanged on July 26 for the murder of his wife, has come forward and requested that he be hanged in the place of his brother
 T am much better prepared to die than David" John Beeman said q be- leve if I took his place I would go to Heaven and David would not. I believe 1t would have good effect on David if did made the sacrifice and that 1t would make better man of him and that we would meet in Heaven
 The negro spoke with all earnestness and says he is ready and willing to suf- fer for the sins of his brother He Is an intelligent negro and realizes what he is saying. An effort is being made by Sanderson and Blue, the attorneys for David Beeman to have the governor com mute his sentence to life imprisonment and it is reported they will have a strong indorsement. Beeman killed his wife with an ax near Grady as the re- suit of quarrel.
 MT Sanderson this morning in talk ing of the case stated that John Beeman brothers crime and had requested him to see the governor or sheriff.
 "This is something unheard of" said Mir. Sanderson to the negro.
 'I can't help it." the negro replied. q think I would be doing right as David was always weak. I want to suffer for him and 1t will make him a better man Don't you think 1t will. I am ready to meet my Father and David is not. Da- vid violated law which must be satisfied I don't see why I could not pay the penalty in the place of my brother"
 This unusual request has touched the hearts of those who have become familiar with it and strong effort is being made to get the governor to commute the sen tence.
 The negro seemed surprised and hurt when told that the state could not ac- cept the sacrifice.

"Cotton has begun to grow, but its
condition is rot nearly so good as in
former jules. 1t got a late start
that it hasn't been able to recover,
and it is now 30 or 20 days late. The
fact that it is growing is receptive,
and to realize how bad conditions are,
the crop must be compared with past
July conditions.
"The stand is universally bad, and
in many sections it is being chopped

the southwest section Of the belt have
made it impossible to make a full
crop.'

WOMEN AS FARMERS.
Success of Some Who Have Taken
Claims in the Northwest.
New York Tribune.

New York Tribune.
In the great Canadian Northwest.
where the erswhile wilderness is way
ing with golden grain and towns are
springing up over night, not a few
women have gone to seek their for
tunes alone. A homestead grant OF
100 acres is free, and any "head Of
family" man or woman, may secure
it upon application to the Canadian
government. Usually, Of course, the
applicant is-a man, but occasionally
woman essays to make her fortune on
the prairies without masculine aid.
Miss Marie Gilroy, Of Saskatche-
wan. is one Of the most famous wo'
man settlers of the west. She put her
last shilling into a prairie farm and
spent seven years in hand-to-hand
tussle with fortune, sitting on her
own binder, cutting her own grain,
handling the plough in the furrow
and doing stable duty. In 1906 her
holding excited the admiration Of
young Englishman, and Miss Gllroy
was induced to hand over lock, stock
and barrel to him for the round sum
Of $4,000. Today Miss Gilroy is tour
ing Europe on the proceeds OF her
original $4,000.
Mrs. McGilvray, who came to the
Canadian West 20 years ago with SIX
small children. is another prominent
woman farmer of Saskatchewan. Be-
ginning almost penniless. her l6o
acres of homestead have now grown to
an SO0-acre estate. and her children
are settled around her in comfort and
affluence.
Salome Wertman came with her
husband and little family from Rus
sia, and soon she, too. was widow.
She still kept on "trying to earn
Bread" as she says, and l6 years af-
ter her absolutely penniless start she
stands on one OF the successful lana
owners Of Saskatchewan.
Mrs. Ferris is known as the "wo-
man farmer' Of the Portage Plains.
Left with family Of young children,
she has managed her farm most sue
cessfully since the death Of her hus-
band. She comes from Belfast, Ire
land, and when she arrived in Western
Canada with her husband 80 years ago
they had no capital at all. She now
has an estate of 760 acres, and her 2
sons are settled near at hand, each.

Fashions From Three Centers
LONDON FASHIONS.
BY MAY DAWSON.

London, Dec. 21.-Ribbons have fallen
little into neglect during the last few
years, but this season they come into
their own again, and will be a favorite
trimming for the autumn. They are
used, of course, for the large Chou"
bows with which the most fashionable
hats are Notwithstanding else is at
the same time substantial enough and
light enough to wear in such large
masses-but they will also be employed
to trim gowns, either laid on in long.
straight lines to give the striped eff
feet SO much sought after or applied
on the material in curves and Zigzags,
and even In elaborate patterns.
BlOuses, tea jackets, tea gowns, and
even evening wraps, will be made of
ribbon Joined together in various ways,
either by lace insertions and narrow
embroioeries or, where a figured rib
bon is used, by bands of silk to match
the leading color, this silk also form
ing tho lining. Treated in this way
they make most dainty garments, and
are both warm and light. Some of the
new designs are really beautiful, nota-
bly, the floral patterns; their colors are
soft and harmonious, blending imper-
ceptibly into the wide border which is
the great feature of the ribbons of
today. Watered ribbon in all the new
shades, with satin borders an inch
wide, will be very fashionable, and ,all
plain ribbons are bOrdered in either
satin or velvet.
There are besides striped and pat
termed ribbons in endless variety, and
among these are to be found some
rather startling combina lions of color.
For instance, very wide ribbon of the
new shade of blue, Ornamented with
an enormous white medallion outlined
in red and brown leaves, is more strik-
ing than agreeable to the eye, and
most of the plaid ribbons are too vivid
in effect to please a fastidious taste,
though some Of~the latter in the darker
shades of blue and green would look
we'll if used sparingly. Long scarves
for evening wear will also be made of

Yet another new kimono sleeve, Which
is NOSE becoming, has the outer effect
of the kimono, while underneath it is
cut away, and the unnecessary buiki-
ness is cleverly avoided. This in Ha
vana brown, with Chinese embroidery
in blue and brown silk, is very orig
inal. A Bismarck brown costume, with
double skirt. has a little coatee, en-
tirely braided in the same color, SOU
tache in quaint arabesque design, and
with a chic little vest or waistcoat OF
greenish-blue cloth.
Indoor gowns in cloth and cashmere
are extremely pretty and popular.
Luncheon costumes, composed of plain
or pleated skirts of cloth, with plain
velvet coates, smoking coats, short
sacs in narrow corded velvet, are one
of the fads.
| The new coat of the season is a COM
bination of the directoire. redingore
and Empire styles. and each model,
however distinctive it otherwise may
be, is almost sure to include these
characteristics in its construction. Al
though the new redingote style has no
waist belt, the peculiar cut of the gar
ment between the shoulders and hips,
together with the more or less exag-
gerated flare of the skirt. remains the
same.
The separate coat is with US again
this autumn, and the Chesterfield is
one of the most popular designs. Sew
eraI years ago this coat was almost al
ways made of covert cloth. but much
smarter looking, materials are now
being used, such as cheviots in broken
plaids and various other fancy mate
rails. This coat is most suitable for
travelling. and it is seldom lined.
The long, semi-fitting tailor-made
coat reaching nearly to the hem of the
skirt is another good style this autumn.
This coat fastens straight up to tie
neck, and the sleeves are full length,
and, like the front edges of the coat.
are trimmed with braid. The under
arm seams are also outlined with the
braid, and as a finish a fiat collar of
ermine is excellent.
Despite the influx of new models, the
Elton jacket is holding it's own, and Cor
some figures it is by far the most Lc-
coming model that could possibly be
worn. 1t is both serviceable and smart,
and it is adapted to all seasons and
materials, and for the girl whose fig
ure is well rounded and long wasted,
it is always recommended.
The sleeveless wrap is one of the
latest novelties for evening wear. This

eALLADE OF THE DEFICIT.


Where is the hand I overplayed?
Leaving to me of debt share?
Where right now is the stuff I've made
Till sometimes l had some to spare?
The filled purse leaves one free from
care,
With life all vigor. vim and cheer;
But, after days of wear and tear.
Where is the Dough Of Yesteryear?
Bonbons dear for dearer maid,
Best aisle seats in the paTquets glare,
Roses, too that so quickly fade,
And something for the cabman's fare
The first cost of romance laid bare,
Which withered to a memory dear
And left some haunting doubts of where,
on where's the Dough of Hesteryear?
Much I've forgotten. I'm afraid.
There was the old vacation snare
With scant return for what was paid,
And useless at the thing to swear.
Fen if l could I'd hardly dare
To bring il back in thought all clear .
And what's the use? III neer get

ribbon, these being invariably linked
together by lace, and some being fin
ished at the ends by lace frill.
The small hat win be worn, the small
hat with high square crown, in velv9I,
in tightly stretched satin, in felt, some

it is not even becoming, but certain

without doubt become general The
''Diabolo" hat is one of the latest
crazes worn by enthusiastic diabolists,
and resembles a fiat tricorne, corded all
round with green and miniature spools
in white and green, held in position by
quilts. 1t is, of course, a passing fancy,
but is a very quaint one, and when
correctly poised on the head has really
quite a chic appearance.
Last season we were threatened with
the extremely tightly fitting skirt and
scarcity of undergarments-thes
being reduced TO one. Now it is more
than that. There was an aversion
many years ago TO the hideous ''bustIe'
or 'tournure," yet in the end every
woman adopted it. I do not say that
these eel-skin gowns will become as
general as the hustle, but there are
very many, who are gracefully proper
spite OF the cutlery that is bound to fol-
low.
The skirt and coat of different mate
rial has met gith general approval
and is one of the chief notes of the
autumn fashions in tailor gowns. Black
and white, large check skirt, very fully
pleated, with dainty little black velvet
coats, bound with fiat silk braid and
trimmed down each side with branden-
boUrSs, is a very taking combination
just now
A novelty in braiding which IS
ubiquitous this autumn is a charming
cloth coat, not quite three-quarter
length, which has the black sOutache
braiding in a bold design front and
back, so arranged that the upper pOr-
ton of the front and the shoulders and
sleeves are quite plain and devoid of all
trimming, the shoulder being very
slOping and all in one, making one of
the newest sleeve diversions of the
season. The coat has also a tiny velvet
vest, daintily embroidered Another
new sleeve effect is shown in a purple
cloth; this has an under sleeve of soft
satin in the same shade&and over this
is a modified kimOno sleeve cut up and
finished with buttons; it has very
smart appearance, and is quite novel.

BRIDGE TO BILLIARDS.

In spite of all that has been said to
the contrary there are very perceptible
signs that bridge is loosening its hold
upon society. An invitation no longer
implies that you are expected to take a

hear peop9e declare that they do not
