ghost is said Ito walk" when salaries
are paid. The credit for originating
this phrase belongs to a company OF
English strolling players who. al

arrears. were rehearsing Hamlet"
The rehearsal progressed, but when
Hamlet. referring to the ghost, ex-
claimed: "Perchance twill walk
again" that sordid spirit yelled back
again emphatically: mo! I'm damned
If the ghost walks any more until our
salaries are paid!"B Bohemian.

NOVEL PLANS MADE
 FOR CLUB BANQUETS

Secretary Dave. of the Commercial Club. is rapidly completing plans foI the banquet which will be given at tho New Exchange Hotel on WashinGt0n's [ Birthday, February 22. and already Q sufficient number of replies have haan recivAd to the notices sent out to war; rant the statement that the gathering will be one Of the largest that has ever been assembled in Montgomery on 2 similar occasion,
 One of the novel features of the ban, quet will be an individual card at ths plate 0e each guest with an apt refer ence printed on 1t. All of these ret. erences are supposed to have direct reference to the business or profession of the guest. with Q little suggestion of any Idiosyncracy he might possess.
 It was intended to have Senator Jo- seph Johnston and Senator Bankhead as guests of honor. but letter has been received from Senator Johnston stating that he will not be able to ate tend owing to pressing work in Wash ington.. Senator Bankhead has not yet been heard from.
 Those in charge Of the banquet arc very anxious for 1t to be underntood that it will he an informal affair. deslened for the discussion of Mont gomery's affairs. and for closer weld Ing of the business and social interests of the city. ff

Growing Hay.

sT believe that more hay will be pro- duced in Alabama next year than in many yeers," said a prominent dealer in fertilizer yesterday. This state rnent fs dus to ths fact that % little fertilizer is being bought. and the re- ports that I hear of cotton fields being turned over for haymaking.
 This is especially so along the river bottoms where t is possible to make three crops of hay season. Farmers are rapidly learning that there Is ns much or more profit in haymakIng than in cotton. if they have good luck with it, ard it is crop that Is even more certain than cotton.
 william A Henderson, who has rev- eraf hundred acres of excellent hay making land across the river. just op- poslts railroad yards of West Mont gomery. has found haynaking very profitable. Mr. Henderson has recent : ty turned over 300 acres for Johnson grass hay. Last year he made three tons fo the acre. which brought him gfz to the ton. With the small ex- pense and trouble of producing the crop he believes that he made much more out of 1t than he would have made had he planted cotton.
 Mfr. Henderson says he only finds if necessary to turn his land over once every four years narrowing being sufficient in the of years.
 AericuItura1 schools all over the State have also encouraged the rafs- Ing Of hay Erasses, and this will have due efeet on the crop.

ture of arch itectural beauty but con. ta;ned truth of deep significance.
 This vision of John must mean that Jesus stands four square to the needs of them. This text suggests some varied types of human character and the all-roundedness of the Savior's heart to meet these varied needs.
 "Dr. Siler discussed four divisions the three gates on the east, three on the west. three on the north and three on the south. He said that the three gates on the east are opened to the young people; that those on the north represent gates open to a class of people who have no emotion and must be reached through the channel of in- tellect; that the gates on the south are opened for the emotional class, whose religion must not be discounted: that the, three gates on the west represent the sweetest gospel of all. because 1t comes to a man at sunset and tells him that in Christ his day Is just dawning: that 1t also comes to the poor sprodigal and tells him that Christ is willing to blot out all the past.
 Tn concluding the admirable mes sage, Dr. Siler said that the church was identical with the kingdom of heaven; that the doors should be as wide and as responsive to touch as the doors to the Kingdom of heaven.
 One day all those coming through the gates of the east. west, south and north will meet around the throne of God and cast their trophies at the feet Of Jesus"
