 Why, what has he done?"

 Why, the other evening, at a party, I said to him, Let's play the old game of temptation. If I say "Yes" or s'No" to your questions, I'll owe you a box of gloves, and if you say ''Yes" or 'No' you'll give me a box"
 Then, what?"
 ''Well, after the party he took me home, and all the way there he talked as sweetly as could be about love, and that men should not live alone, and. all that. And when we got to the front gate, he said, Fannie, I have waited for this opportunity long time-will you marry me?' I whispered Yes in a low voice; and" (here her sobs choked her voice..

Professor "eIIIy" Sumner.

From Harper's Weekly.
 Professor William Sumner of Yale has been interviewed and has made his re- mark about the recent so-called panic and it's cause. Professor Sumner Is now teaching sociology, not economies, which is to say that "Billy" Sumner was the best teacher they had in the college, and his books and his other writings have il- luminated d good many minds. They are very clear, and Sumner made them inter- estng. So far as economies can be en- tertaining, he made 1t so. Probably in England, if he lived there, Billy Sum- ner would be an adjunct to parliament, and his figures and his reasoning would generally be adopted by lawmakers and administrators. Here. however. we don't t use experts because. perhaps, we are all eXperts-from the President down. Our politicians have had their lessons and have no further use for experts. They had David A. Wells once in the internal revenue office, but he outraged the mill owners with figures. SO they sent him adrift and he went home to Norwich, Connecticut, where he made a fortune largely out of cotton mill stock. They

STUDY OF CUBA
 BY A FORMER ALABAMIAN

submission, until some fresh grievance arises and the same course is repeated. One statement made in the article is somewhat surprising; that is, as to the Cuban religion. Colonel Bulard says: Than the colonists and conquerors of Cuba, none were ever more devoted churchmen or aggressive soldiers Than the Cuban of today, almost no one IS more careless for his religion or is more purely defensive genius as a soldier. His churches are empty, and his war making has come to be d by-word In his own mouth"
 The writer closes his article with q very significant statement which seems to foreshadow thai, in his opinion the inevitable desting of Cuba Is to become dependency, if not an integral part. of the United States. He tells us that Their aspirations and ideals are high, and all Cubas needs today may be re- duced to one-practical help to attain these ideals" That help" he says. may as well ,be given now, for the destiny of Cuba is one and as fixed as the stars. American cannot dodge it nor Cuba prevent it.' This reads like a prophecy based on an almost incontrover- tible fact, and forces the conviction that it is only question of time when Cuba will become a part of the United States.
 Colonel Bullard also discussed the Gu ban negro in an article which was pub 1shed in the North American Review during the spring, and both articles are well worth the careful perusal of the student of history and civil government.
 Colonel Bullard will be remembered as having commanded the Third Alabama infantry during the Spanish-American war. and his record in that position proved him to be a diseiplinarian of the highest order, and possessing few equals as an organizer and commander of men. A number of his old officers reside in Birmingham, all of whom have the high est respect and regard for him. After the close of the Spanish American war. Colonel Bullard went to the Philippines. first as commander of regiment and afterward as governor of Mindanao prov ince. His record there as a military and administrative official met with the ex- pressed and warm approval of his su- periors, which is a source of gratl1ca- tion to his friends, and of which Ala bama should be proud. His continued retention on the administrative staff of the army in Cuba is assurance that his work is meeting with the approval of those charged with the government of that island. and his friends feel sure will meet with the recognition 1t deserves
The Birmingham age-herald., 1907-11-24

An exceedingly interesting and instruc- tive article, from the pen of Lieut. Col. R. l.. Bullard, appears in the Army and Navy Life for October.
 Colonel Bullard is a native Alabamian, and has been in Cuba, connected with it's civil administration. since the United States took charge of the island.
 This article is entitled '"The Cubans." and exhibits close study of the Cuban character and disposition, coupled with a keen power of analysis, and rare ability to give forceful expression to his ideas
 In reading his article, the student of history cannot fail to be impressed with the truth of his observations. He begins his article with the assertion that while there are two clements of Cuban people, the Spanish and negro, there is only one tradition, the Spanish, which practically makes the type. While there is no race question, there are social distinctions based upon color, and that the ultimate desire, if not the destiny, of the Cubans is to make themselves a completely ho- mogeneous people of mixed blood This view is not especially pleasing to the American, and particularly to the south erner, but it is borne out by every one who is at all familiar with conditions in Cuba, now and In the past.
 The reader is however, forcibly im- pressed with Colonel Bullard's delineation of the Cuban political character and pro- pensities and the logical deductions that must be drawn therefrom. He states that the seventeen revolutions through which Cuba has gone in the past eighty five years have had powerful well as unfortunate effect upon the character of her people. They, being of an emotional nature, taking an exaggerated and strained view of things, well as lack ing in decision and practicality, are often led to foolish extremes. They are thor oughly intolerant of injustice and op- pression, but are utterly lacking in the power to prevent or resist them in any effective way. This disposition leads them first to ill-concealed disaffection, develop ing into open revolt, and ending in sullen

say-that is, the protectionists say-that that proves that David A. Wells was at heart a protectionist On the contrary. his conduct was like that of an illustrious British ronmaster, who had protected mills here and free trade newspaper at home. When he WAS charged by a fellow countryman with inconsistency his reply was "If the Americans are economic fools, why shouldn't 1 take advantage of them?' Sumner was a classmate of Will liam c. Whitney, who was very fond of the professor and who used to like to play with him in New Haven. Sumner never got as rich as Whitney; he never seemed to care to. He amused his mind in another way. and he once enormously amused Whitney by telling his old friend that the Yale corporation had greatly in- creased his salary.
 That's spleiMid," said Whitney. Flow much more do they give you, Bill?"
 1.-TWO hundred and fifty dollars year." said Sumner.
 And he always wondered why Whitney laughed so loudly and so long.

 Mrs. Richard le Gallienne is the latest sociey woman to go into the millinery business, and has opened 1asniollaple Is' hat shop here for the American and Eng fish colonies in Paris. Her speciality IS adapting Parisian tyles in hats to Anglo Saxon wearers, so that American and English women may have the advahtage of inimitable Paris mott in their mil linery without the Frenchwomen' fea- lures on their heads.
 Mrs. le Gallienne insists that French women's features can carry off well hats that on an Anglo-Saxon woman would look impossible. In an interview the poets wife explained that observation and adapting the style of millinery to the wearer's style of feature way the key note of successful millinery.
 'If you wish to give your client a hat that suits her head" she said. you have to notice her features and charac- teristics. It looks absurd, for instance, to put a small round hat on round baby fish face, just as 1t Is ridiculous to give A. small woman a towering structure Of flowers and feathers, which makes her look like walking mushroom. Also you must be careful not to put tilted-up with retrousse nose. It makes the wearer of the hat look as if her nasal organ was going up into the sky.
 'As to children's hats, the fault gen. erally made is that they are too compli- cated. You want simplicity-a simple framework to encircle young and girlish fact, not the complicated arrangement that adorns the head of the matron.
 ''Then there is the question of color. Colors that harmonize and colors that con- trast artistically have to be studied and sought for diligently. I have gone to the great masters for my colors. and I aim at effects in softness and unity that recall the pictures of 'Fragonard'
