PRIMARY LESSONS FOR
HUSBANDS AND WIVES.

In "Mr.. Temples Telegram"
which will be presented at the Grand
opera house this Monday evening
there Is lesson for every husband
who has acquired or is thinking SER
iously of acquiring the missed-the-
last-car-my-dear habit There is also a
LESION for every wife who is fond or
is likely to become fond of magnify
ing circnmstantial evidence until
she believes that every other wo-
man in town is angling for her hus-
band, and that the fishing is general
ly very good. For, in MRS. Temples
Telegram" there is a husband who
being denied the privilege of telling
the truth utilities the last-car story
to his threatened undoing, and
wife, who refusing to credit the truth
accepts the last-car story and upon
investigation finds Il to be false.
The obvious moral IS, that every
husband should stick to his first
story and that every wife should
rest content In the thought that what

she doesn't know will do her no
harm. True, the average wife will
ask why married lady who has
preceded her husband from Paris
and arrived in London a day ahead
of him should decide that evening
to venture forth unattended and
seek surceasa from worry by taking
ride In the Ferris wheel in Earls
Court; and the husband will likely
wish TO know why settled and rea-
sonably respectable married man
should attire himself in evening
c'othel, desert his home, his wife
and his fIreslde and seek a like di-
version on the same evening. But no
sensible husband and wife will per-
nit their attention 10 be drawn from
the lesson contained in a farce OF
complications by asking que7tlons.
II is enough to know that this ac-
cidental meeting did happen, that
the wheel stuck while the perfect

that the experience is the foundation

WHO WILL BE POSTMASTER

Ensley, November 14.-(Special.)- .)-As an evidence of the contemplated improve ments at the blast furnaces at Ensley the following clipping is quoted in full from the November issue of the Hard ware Dealers Magazine: "The United States Steel corporation has ordered $1,- oOO,OOO worth of new machinery and equip ment for the new blast furnaces at Ems ley, Ala. The magazine quoted is re- liable, having been the official organ of the hardware dealers for over 20 years.
 To corroborate the above statement the Rust Boiler Construction company is al- ready at work erecting 2S mammoth up- right boilers at the blast furnaces, which, when completed, will be the finest boiler plant in the south
 The aggregate horsepower of these boilers will be enormous and it is stated will be sufficient to furnish power to the steel mill as well as the furnaces. The work of remodeling No. furnace is progressing rapidly. These improvements give assurance of the statement that has been frequently officially given out that the improvements contemplated at Ensley will make it a rival to Pittsburg and other steel making centers, for the honor of being the greatest steel producing city in the country.

Who Will Be Postmaster?

From the fact that it has been repeated ly stated that J O. Thompson, the Pres ident's referee in Alabama, would make his recommendation as to the position of postmaster for Ensley, the friends of the several applicants are extremely ac- tive. J. ". Brigman, T. G. Kennemer and w. I. Miller are the candidates men, tioned for the place. These gentlemen are all well known and each has been strong ly indorsed. The office of postmaster of Ensley is a very desirable one and is growing larger each year.
 The site for the new postoffice building has been selected and a handsome $6O, GOO building will be erected in the near future.
 Many Improvements were made during the term of office of the retiring post master, J. w. Clayton including free delivery and the new building. Frank Deedmeyer the well-known attorney, was an important factor in bringing about the Improvements.

Strenqth of the EaqIe.

From Forest and Stream.
 While I cannot give any positive proof of how much a bald eagle can carry, should suppose that he could carry at least as much in proportion to his weight as a hawk or a horned owl I have the recorded weight of a male bald eagle weighing IA pounds and female weighing F pounds.
 horned owl will weigh from to D pounds, and have several times known one to carry off a large house cat One was d very large one, and the owner told me that he could hear the cat cry as he was being carried off. Now, any one who will weigh a large house cat will find it to weigh at least 12 pounds.
 I have seen goshawk carry off a hen fully twice it's own weight, and I have taken from a marsh hawk a very large chicken which would weigh more than twice what the hawk would The marsh hawk is one of our weakest haws but he had carried this chicken over quarter of mile. My belief is that if a hawk or horned owl can carry more than twice it's weight (and I know positively that they can), an eagle could, if occasion required, do as much in proportion to his weight. which would be to carry IS or 20 pounds.
 Once, when an eagle, shot through the body with a rifle ball, lay on his back I up-ended a long road skid and dropped it on him. Before, it reached him he stretched up and caught it in his claws and held it up the length of his legs above him. I walked up on the skid and stood above him and he easily held me and the skid, which I should judge would weigh more than 20 pounds. I took pains to be weighed the same day and weighed 119 pounds. Put a stick in claw of a wounded eagle and let him grasp a small tree with the other and a man must be stronger than I ever was to take the stick from him.
