Eileen had gone to her room to don

Lansing followed her example, and
Selwyn, entering his own room, found
Gerald trying on a pair of white foot

The boy looked up, smiled and,
crossing one knee, began to tie the
laces.

Wonderful Sense of Smell In Dogs.
It has often been proved that dogs
are able to track their masters through
crowded streets. where it would be
impossible to attribute their accuracy
to anything except the sense of smell
alone. Mr.. Romanes, the naturalist,
once made some interesting expert
ments as to this wonderful power as
exhibited in his own dog. In these tests
the naturalist found that his dumb
friend could easily follow in the tracks
Of his master, though he was far out
of sight, and that, too, after no less
than eleven persons had followed, step
ping exactly in the tracks made by Mr..
Romanes, 1t being the deliberate inten-
tion to confuse the senses Of the poor
dog II possible. Further experiment
proved that the animal tracked the
boots instead Of the man, for when Mr..
Romanes put on new footgear the dog
failed entirely.

WEAK IN THE ALPHABET.
Some Letters That Men Can Never
Learn to Make.

Some Letters VhRt MEN Gan never
Learn to Make.
'Why is It that with some men some
letters of the alphabet are harder to
make than others and, In fact, that
there are some letters that some men
never learned how to maker asked q
young man who takes considerable IN
terest In the matter of handwriting in
the New Orleans Times-Democrat. "It
Is a rather singular fact that nearly
every man outside Of the experts is
weak on one or more of the letters in
the English alphabet. Sometimes this
letter involved is capital letter; some
times it is of the smaller kind; some
times it is one letter and sometimes
another. In any event, you will find
few men who are exempt from the fail
ing referred to.
~ know of one man who In spite Of
the fact that he does a great deal Of
writing has never learned how to make
q capital P. He simply makes a stag
ger at it, and. as a rule. the result Of
his efforts will look more like small
p than like the capital P. l know an
other man who can't make small
to save his life. He can never get the
lower part of the letter below the line.
He makes it look like a clubfooted b
instead Of an f. There are others who,
when they try to make the small b,
give 1t the long shank, and 1t looks
more like the letter (. 1t is rather sin
gular that these traits should hang on
10 a mans writing for lifetime, but
they do 1t just the same, and If you
make a few inquiries among your
friends and acquaintance you will find
that but few of them are exempt from
this fault.
"It is very much like the habit Of
spelling certain words incorrectly.
Many men who are rated as first class
spoilers pass through life without ever
In a single instance spelling certain
words correctly. 1t is due to habit
largely. If you should ask them how
to spell the word, they would tell you,
but, when they go to write 1t, that is
quite different, and they will get II
wrong every time. So they know, too,
how certain letters should be made, but
they simply can't put them down on
paper. 1t is curious but common
fault"

Three cenvicts got their freedom yes terdsy by clemeney orders Of the Gov ernor, two whites and one negro. The lot of paroles is expected to be only a forerunner of 6 big coterle who may be released in the near future as today there will be dumped on the desk of the Governor no fewer than thirty reeoTnme mendations transmitted from the State Board of Pardons. some of which are of q favorable nature.
 Fl. D. Morrison, of Mobile County af- ter an Imprisonment of one year, will eat his Thanksgiving dinner today in tho Gulf City. One year ago yesterday Morrison was convicted in tho Mobile courts of forgery in the second de- gree. His sentence was for two years in the penitentlary. His conduct since imprisonment has been exemplary &C., cording 10 ofieiai reports which have reached the Governor. and as there were mitigating circumstances to the crime the Governor thought 1t just to turn him loose. It is conditioned. how ever. upon the future good conduct of Morrison.
 The other eonvlcts paroled are !. Lenn Satterwhite, of Lee County, and Duggar Hill, of Chambers County. The latter is a negro. The former was convicted of assault with intent to murder in the Circuit Court of Lee County sitting in 1906 october term. He has served two years of his term of imprisonment and the Governor rec ognized his behavior as such during this time as to warrant a parole com dltioned upon his future good conduct.
 puggar HilPs crime was grand lar ceny. He was convicted at the fall term, 1908, of the Circuit Court of Chambers County. He was imprisoned for two years and his conduct was also looked upon as exemplary, winning hls freedom with the same conditions as the others.

CounciI Gives Its Approval to Assese. menfs for Year But Hoids Back Paving Untu De-
 Oanaber l6

Not tax payer of Montgomery SD. peared at the special meeting of the City Council held wednesday at noon in the city hall to kick on the assess- ments that had been imposed.
 A resolution prepared by Acting City Clerk J. c. Cowan, was offered by Ai- derman Sullivan, to have the assess- ments confirmed by the Council and unanimously adopted the resolution. The resolution called fer a ratification of the several assessments, and the 1908 list Is complete--the collection of the assessments being all that is left of the work.
 It was moved and seconded that the Council walt until December Is to hear objections from owners of property abutting on recently paved. and soon to be paved streets. The motion was adopted.
 Alderman Saul moved that no as. easements be made until December IS. so the matter might be handled en masse. The motion was carried.
 A communication from Mayor Teague in which Council was asked to approve his placing in the hands of the South. srn Bitulithic Go. sts.500 of bonds for work done on Montgomery Street from 4AVNAtVH bo 1tdb1, was TeNds c nc WOTH has been satisfactorily completed and the bonds turned over to the company. The reason of the communication was that the company had found some difa culty in dIsposing of the bonds because they had not been ofIieiaily approved by the City Council. The Council ap. proved the action of the Mayor. 1t is invariably the rule for the May. or to issue bonds that Council has or. dered issued previously for municipal work. the action at the meeting wed- nesday being merely . municipal rati- ficatipn of the payment.
 An ordinance providing for the changing of the Ire limits in the VI. cinity of Lawrence and Jefferson Streets, in order to allow some proper. ty, owners to complete work contem plated on their homes. was adopted.

that, inasmuch as the wife and minor children are mentioned in the statuts the word estate must refer to sohe' thing different.
 'aThe general purpose is the same and the statute refers merely to dinerent ways of expressing the intention of the insured. Tn fact, 1t Is diGerent in that. if a man should take out a policy in the name of his wife it would remain hers though he should have children born ar terwards; or if he, being a wioower, should make 1t payable to his children and should afterward marry ana ieave a widow, she would have no share In 1t. By making 1t payable to his estate 1t is left ambulatory. so that If he makes no will 1t goes as other exempt property, or he may win, direct to which of his family 1t shall be paid.
 "This was evidently the purpose In
 inserting the word 'estate' in the stat
 ute. This is further shown by the his.
 tory of the statute, 1t at first providing only that the wife might insure her hus-
 bands life to certain amount, then providing that the husband might also insure with the same limits, for the neneflt of his wife or children Code of 1888 D s3s6), and then going a step fur tier in the present statute by providing that he could accomplish the same pur-
 pose by making the policy payable to his estate"
