 T.mt@.

Yesterday being the first Tuesday In February, was the day for the Home saelxers rates to go on sale, and Trav- elinw Passenger Agent Ely or the Southern Pacific, and Wolfe Of the Huntsville and Nashville. did a good husiness out of Montgomery. They hao an extra car on both morning ana night trains of the Louisville and Nash vile. filled with people en route to rex as and Indian Territory.
 Southeastern Passenger Agent Phil Hay. of the Mobile and Ohio. has al" ways done a good business with the honeseekers, but the third Tuesday In January was the last day that the Mobile and Ohio placed the homeseek- ers rates on sale. That company mas decided to stop the sale of the tickets tor this spring.
 The flood of homeseekers from the west will pass through Montgomery this morning, and 1t is thought that the travel will be unusually heavy. In ad- dltion to this travel. the carnival rate tickets go on sale this morning.
 The Mardi Gras business this year nromises to be very heavy and for the next few days the travel from and through Montgomery will be large Agent Wolfe said yesterday that ne has already had applications enough to gII extra Pullmans on train No. leav- ing Montgomery at S:1s ?. m., Thursday and Friday nights. Or this train Sat urday and Sunday nights. there will De two extra PuIlmans on both nights.
 Beginning Thursday morning it is nrobable extra sections of the Louts- vile and Nashville train No i, leaving Montgomery at 11:t5 a. m, and train No. 5. at s:iS D. m. will be run The Western people expect to have extra sections on their trains due in Mont gomery at 10:56 fn., and i1:4o ?. m. On account of the heavy grades on the Mobile and Montgomery division bo" tween here and Flomation. the Louis- vile and Nashville will not handle an additional car beyond the regular equipment of train 37. This will moan that there will probably be two sen- tions of that train leaving Montgomery for Mobile. PensStoca and New Or leans at midnight for the next two or three days.
 Last night the Louisville and Nash. vile train No 8. due from Cincinnati at 7:45 D. m, was two hours and ten minutes late The Western train s7 due in Montgomery at 11:40 ?. n., was six hours and thirty minutes late.

STATE UNIVERSITY FOOTBALL
 TEAM TO PLAY IN MONTGOMERY
higher education did not meet last

higher education did not meet last
 pr, Pollard said last night all ar rangements have been made to make the Alabama Georgia contest in Mont Eomery & classic affair. Thereby Mont gomery will be given at least one nrsf- class contest each year.
 Alabama has taken during the past few years a higher standing in South ern football. Last season. under the direction of Dr. Pollard, the Tuscaloo- sa team met with but one defeat and that was at the hands of the Wander biIt aggregation, which outclassed all Southern rivals.
 pr. Pollard hopes the fair dates VIII permit the Alabama-Georgia game to be the closing feature of the exhibf- ton and he conferred with President vandiver with that end In view. Mr. Vandiver was enthusiastic over the Idea and 1t is possible arrangements can be made to fall in with the plans for the annual exhibition.
 The Alabama coach came to Mont eomery from Birmingham where he ss- cured the fair grounds for three dates inc annual contest with Auburn on November 16 and the Tennessee game on Thanksgiving Day. He also intends to arrange a game with either Missls- i sippi or Texas November 2. Before returning to Tuscaloosa he will visit Mobile. He expects to arr range dates with either Tulane or Lou lsiana in the Gulf City.
 Local football fans believe the fn- auguration of the game in Montgomery will mean much fin the future toward the stimulation of interest In the sport in Middle Alabama, and will cause Montgomery once more to regain It's place as one of the best football cities in the South.

Two Little Stories,

There is little story in the memoir
of Sir Charles Bunbury which may
well he remembered among the strange
tales of kings. When Humboldt was
at the Tuileries for the last time in
1917 and was about to take leave
Louis Philippe said to him: Tell my
good brother the king of Prussia that
l am very firm here. | am very pop
ular. All France is ut my feet. The
kings of Europe may sleep soundly. for
there will be no more revolutions" In
little more than two months Louis
Philippe was a fugitive.
Another story in this volume which
has its touching side concerns Sir
George Napier. the fine soldier. After
the battle of Toulouse group of Eng
lish officers were pettinG French dog,
whose owner had taught him to accept
food only when it was offered with the
right hand. But Sir George had to Of
fer Il crust with his left hand because
he had no other The dog looked at
him steadily for moment-and took it.

Rodgers, however. says that a small
amount of money will be necessary +
complete the work of rescue.
Now that the relief of the Chinese
is completed. the American people are
turning their eyes to the fearful suf

peasants.

AT present the temperature in this
village is in the neighbOrhoOd of 20
degrees below zero Fahrenheit. Many
of the peasants are living i'll holes dug
underground. They are almost naked
and they are without fuel. Their food
| is sort of bread made of ground
acOrnS or other uneatables, to which

there are thousands like it. and these
thousands of villages have no hope uu-

outside. Seventy-five cents will lie p
an adult alive for a month. 1t is bit
ter to ask for aims; but it is still more
bitter to look upon these agonies will

The famine beyond doubt is direct

work of relieving the present suffering

While it is doubtless true that the
radical ideas of Brand Whitlock, may
or of Toledo. are frowned upon by the
great majority of Americans, he has
introduced one change which seems to
work admirably A parole officer has
been appointed whose business it is to
look up situations for the inmates of
the wOrkhouse. The inmate who sue
Ceeds in obtaining work goes forth with
letter to his employer. No guard
goes with him. Not one has ever run
away-their word of honor was enough
to bring them back at the appointed
time. In order that this plan might be
carried out, Mayor WhitlOCk abolished
striped clothing in the workhouse.
