Benny on Nature.

Nature is a great thing. There are sev- eral kinds of nature There is human na- ture and other kinds. If you want to see the most nature you go out Into the woods, but you got to look out for snakes. My Uncle Henry owns a grove In Du Page county, where you can picnic on the banks of a beautiful river and have a good time. I forgot to mention that rivers are nature, just the same as woods. Once I saw a man who said he lived close to nature. He did not have any stockings on his feet. Ills face was covered with long hair and his neck was dreadfully sunburnt. He was a good deal uglier than any nature I ever saw. One time there was a monkey that got tired of liv- ing in cage and hung himself with his tail which was a horrible death He could not find any nature in his cage and was homesick. This shows that we ought to be kind and gentle with dumb brutes and ever strive to do what Is right. Nature Is not so pleasant In winter, unless you wear plenty of warm clothes and have got a sled BENNY.

Our Immiuration Problem

Gunby Jordan of Columbus, Ga, went to Europe in the party of Hoke Smith, governor-elect, and in an ad- dress he recently delivered before the Georgia Bankers association he said:
 "Throughout the southern countries of Europe the opinion was general that if enisrants went to the south they would be placed below the Americans, and on an equality with the negroes and were liable to be treated in the same way as that race in every respect The opinion seemed to be very general, also, that the greater number of people in the south lived in huts and that the section alto gether was not the kind of a place one would care to migrate to-"
 It is not easy to say who scatters stories like these over Europe, but the c,lances are very good that the hand of western railroads is in it. The steamship companies, too, that do not propose to land immigrants at gulf ports may lend helping hand. The general pull is against the south In favor of the westr
 But the railroads that have lines reaching to the gulf know a thing or two, and they are beginning to make some inroad upon the calumnies that have been spread broadcast over Flu rope. When the railroads operating to gulf points get at work, and the south ern states pull with them, perhaps some of the erroneous and malicious statements will be corrected. To work a change will call for long pull and pull altogether A diversion of the t.4e of immigration to the south is greatly needed, and in order to secure 1t we must be alert and energetic, and we must be continuously so. It will never do to give up the quest for more white men.

 The crowd that damned the middle car of a subway express yesterday turned with one accord to ascertain the source of the soft, wel-modulated voice of com mand. It surely couldn't be the guard speaking thus. Every auricular append age bent low to wait for the second speech. Every eye was rivetted on the numerals "O1132" on the front of the guards cap.
 Don't delay your departure, please" purred he, entirely oblivious to the ex- citement he was causing.
 Well what dye think of that?' was the awe-stricken comment of the crowd as it filed out the doors and the train sped on downtown.

Dr. Manianue Needed Here

This district cannot afford to let President Montague of Howard college go away. He is wanted by large col lege in the southwest, but he is also wanted here. The leader who has put Howard on It's feet in the course of five years work is needed there while department of technology Is being or ganized, and much additional develop ment is going on.
 It is becoming every day palmer that the technical education of this district will be done in Howard college and at Tuscaloosa. and the two institu- tions will need all the help we can give them. In this crisis in its career Howard cannot afford to let Dr. Monta- que go away.
 Let the trustees bestir themselves, and any call on the district in general will surely be generously met. The in- itative should come from the trustees of Howard. The people fully appre- ciate the value of Dr. Montague's serv- ices, and they stand ready to get be- hind any movement that has for its object his retention here

MARK TWAIN ON THE ERIE.
He Tells a Hoboken Reporter It is
 Preparatory School.

From the New York Sun.
 A reporter for the Hoboken Observer took a run down to Jersey City Wednes- day evening to see if he couldn't pick up an extra item or two. He had rare luck, and the next day the Observer printed under two-column head, reading; Mark Twain Getting Used to Cinders, a story which said in part:
 Samuel L. Clemens, familiarly known throughout the world as Mark Twain, " was in the Erie station. Jersey City, for an hour last night. He was on his way to his summer home at Tuxedo and had come over from Manhattan an hour be- fore his train started.
 He wore one of his famous light gray suits that just matched his splendid hair, and as he strolled about the Erie railroad dust and cinders settled upon his gar ments.
 Asked what he thought of Jersey City from an Erie railroad station point Of view, he said that 1t looked bad to him, but he added that:
 "You can never judge an American city from a railroad station"
 Asked what he thought of the Erie rail road that had been the butt of the hu- morists for the last six months, he an swered that he could not see much to find fault with.
 You don't object to the smoker"
 Not at all. Life is very short and all of us, except the women and dominies, ought to familiarize ourselves with dust and einders. This road Is merely a sort of preparatory school for the hereafter" "

Governor Corners Monument

When the political story of the pres ent state government is written 1t will be seen that the development of the University, of Auburn and of Monte vallo will stand out as bright plans conceived by Governor Conner and his co-workers. The three institutions had zone long striving to do their work without needful funds, but when Gov ernor Conner came into office the funds 50 long lacking were voted, and all three institutions are now full of hope, building plans and high ambition to serve the state.
 Particularly is this true of the Uni ~frsity. The sums voted at the first sitting of the legislature promise to enable it to take rank very speedily alongside Tulane and Vanderbilt. In the years to come this impetus will gain increased value and efficiency, and men will widely praise the wisdom of the men of 1907.

 q noticed what the cotton mill man had to say in The Age-Herald about the New York market" said an operator in the market.
 T have just had a conversation with q man who was quite recently in New York. On his way south he stopped at several points in the carolinas. He says that q large cotton mill in South Carolina has bought 5000 of the 100 900 bales that it has been arranged to take out of the New York stocks. cotton that is of such grade as to be of use only in mixture with better cotton. This cotton, It IS understood, is not to be tendered on future contracts again. This will leave about 3oOoO bales of tenderable cotton In New York. In addition to this there is now in New York 5O,OOO bales of cotton not suitable for tenders. It is said that an English syndicate is negotiating Tor this to take it to Europe.
 There is a proposition up for consider ation before the New York Cotton ex- change to change the rules so that all contracts shall call for an average or middling with nothing lower than low middling, and this would of course carry good middling. With this arrangement there would be five grades counting the half grades of strict low middling and strict middling This question will be de- cided in September, with the new crop coming in.
 If this innovation Is adopted there will be an honest cotton market in New York that mill men can protect themselves with"

Lack of Consideration.

"The general idea Is that woman is the most sympathetic thing on earth, but am sometimes prone to think otherwise" remarked a man who lives in one of Birmingham's suburbs last night. And I am becoming more and more of the opinion every day that the average won- an has less sympathy for her sister women than anybody. l am compelled to ride on the electric cars a great deal and am very familiar with the faces of nearly every one along my route, especially the feminine ones, and know which of the young ladies work and those that do not Thirty minutes standing In a jolting car doesn't affect a man very much, but 1t is extremely hard on young woman who has work hard all day. In the crowded cars leaving town about the closing time of the large stores and offices a man rarely sits down in a seat. but leaves them for the women. In this way the girl who has worked all day can have a sea tand get home without being jolted about very much and getting tired with her long stand.
 But their sister women who have sim ply been shopping or visiting seem to have it in for the girls who work, for they wait until the time these young la dies get off from work before they start home, then pile on the cars and always manage to get the seats, while the young ladies who are tired out have to stand in the aisle and take their chances of be- ing knocked about like a rubber ball. l rode out on a car last night in the aisle of which stood two young ladies whom I know personally to have worked very hard all day, while nearly a dozen of the seats were occupied by young girls and wo- men who had simply been out having d good time"

CAN KEEP THEIR SEATS.
Presidential Rooms Not Likely to
 Make Senatorial Vacancies.
From the Plttsburg Dispatch.

From the Plttsburg Dispatch.
 Virginia is not the only state in which the stimulation of a Presidential boom for a United States senator has been assigned by current discussion to desires by other persons for the senatorial seat. Nevertheless, the satisfaction of those re- ported desires is subject to a certain lim- itation. That Is the probable possession by the senators in question of sufficient presence of mind to retain their sena- torial seats until the people have decreed that they shall go higher.
 Both Knox of Pennsylvania and Daniel of Virginia, are of mental stature that is fully Presidential. Whether political exlgencies or popular enthusiasm will compel the nomination of either or both Is a much more doubtful question: Their friends are entitled to urge their noml- nation by the republican and democratic conventions, respectively But In the interest of keeping up the senatorial standard as well as for the personal wei fare of the senator's 1t Is well to point out that neither necessity nor precedent, in the few cases where senators have been sent to the White House calls for the resignation of the senatorial seat until the vote of the people has promoted the senator TThere is an abundance Of time between the November election and the succeeding March for a President-elect to resign a senatorship and for his sue cessor in the senate to be elected.

GAYETY AT BUDAPEST

arranged in rivets to be able to endure this garden until a. m.
 But they do it. At about midnight, when I left, most of the family people went home, and the younger ones stayed to be there at the finish. I found it dull, and so would any New Yorker. Added to which the copous lights were not up to our mark. They seemed to suffuse a golden gloom-not the bright, tantalizing glare to which we are accustomed.
 The people bore up remarkably well. They don't talk and laugh like the good folks at Paris. or-in a lesser degree-of New York. They sip bad coffee and slushy tea, and bitter beer and are in a comparatively chastened mood. It is all very quiet and well regulated No , dowdyism. No alcoholism. No unendur- able manners.
 But l can't say that my first impression of Hungarian gayety was dazzling. Good Budapest seemed like bad New York, and l don't see why I strayed so far away into their perilious jungle of consonants to see a show that would not be con sidered tiptop at a ten-twenty-t thirty.
