A Makeshift Pillow.

Don't choose that one,' said the schoolgirl hostess as a classmate picked up a pillow gay with big red roses to tuck under head. That's my makeshift, and you might as well try to rest on the back of a porcupine as on that knobby thing" records a well-known writer in an eastern newspapers

The Original Topsy.

The recent death of Mrs George c. Howard in Boston at the age of 79 years, brings to notice the fact that Mrs. How ard was the first representative of Topsy, the negro girl, in the play, long popular, that was made the basis of Mrs. Toms Cabin.v Mrs. Howard was Caro- line Fox, sister of George l.. Fox and Charles K. Fox, once so well known as Clown and Pantaloon. She was a native troduced to the stage in childhood She had a long career as an actress, retiring from the theare in 1887. Her representa- tion of Topsy was remarkable for its fidelity to the authors ideal and for it's aboundng comic vitality. She was tlse mother of Cordelia Howard, who gained extraordinary popularity as Little Eva, and whi was deemed 'child actress" of wonderful talent. Caroline Fox made her first appearance on the stage at the Richmond Hill theatre. in the summer Of 1S36 as Little Red Riding Hood. In the winter of 1851 she was a member of the company at the National theatre, in Chatham street. The production of Uncle Toms Cabin" was effected in 1S52 at the Troy museum and Mrs. Howard then made her conspicuous hit as Topsy, and soon she became identified with tha. character.

MORGAN READY
 FOR BALLOTING
Usual Democratic Majorities Will Be Regstered-All Amendments
 May Carry.

Decatur, November 2.-(Special) Jon the eve of the election the usual democratic majorities are expected to be boiled in this county and in this congressional dis trict tomorrow. Conservative estimates of the vote in this county at tomorrow's election are as follows: Democratic vote. 24o0; republican, 55o; socialist, 15o; other tickets a small vote. All the state con- stitutional amendments will likely carry in this county. There is but little inter- est being taken either for or against the constitutional amendments.
 The republicans have a county ticket in the field, but they have made. but little or no campaign. and it is almost certain that the democrats will elect their entire county ticket.
 Jere Murphey, Jr, of Huntsville Is the republican nominee for Congress. He has made but three speeches in the district. Judge William Richardson will be re- elected by the usual democratic majority. Election returns will be received on to- morrow night in Decatur and in New De- catur by special wires at various places.

WOULD IMPROVE
 CADET SYSTEM
Captain Horton Investigates Austra- Han Plan With View of Intro
 ducing 1t Here.

Decatur, November 2-(Special.) )-Capt. Roy C. Horton of the Dick Adams Rifles, Company E, Alabama National Guards, said today: q have requested Mrs. Leila Seton Wilder, who is visiting In Aus tralia, to make an exhaustive study of the cadet system which is in vogue in that country, and which has made Australia famous throughout the world. Within a short time expect to receive some very valuable information from her along this line that will enable me to place this Aus tralian system before the proper authori- ties in Alabama and revolutionize the present system"
 It is an acknowledged fact that Aus tralia has the best cadet system in the en- tire world, and Captain Horton is ex- ceedingly anxious to study that system with view to getting 1t adopted in Ala bama. He is a graduate of the Alabama State university, and during his college days took a great interest in military, and was one of the best drilled men at the university in those days He is now in terested in building up the militia of Ala bama, as well as improving his own conn pany.

Bernard Shaw Set to Music.

We have had the eccentric MT Shaw s plays served to us in various ways, but the very latest is in comic opera edi- ton. Mir. Shaw believes that the comic opera which Herr Oscar Straus, com poser of 'The Waltz Dream," is writing on a libretto taken from the Shavian Arms and the Man will be more ap- preciated than was the original piece.
 When Arms and the Man was pro duced in 1884," said MT Shaw, "the crit ics said that it was mere opera bouffe They will now have an opportunity of learning what a real opera bouffe on the same subject is like.
 "The libretto which Herr Jacobsohn of Vienna has written for Herr Oscar Straus. and which I have had the privilege of reading in manuscript, will please them much better than my comedy. It is very funny, and it can be appreciated without the slightest intellectual effort
 ''To make the matter clear, however, must tell you have refused to allow my play to be used as the book of this comic opera. Every borrowed line has been struck out, and not name has been re- tained. But l cannot with any sort of good humor object to a parody of my play. even if it were clear that had the power to give effect to such an objection.
 ''The operetta bears the same relation to Arms and the Man as The Vicar of Wideawakefield does to Wills Olivia or Gilbert5s 'Rosencrantz and Guilden- stern to Hamlet That is all"
 rf,l.4 called Der Tapfere Soldat," will be giv- en its first performance at the Theatre Westend Berlin early next December.

The Woman of Method.

The motto, Do It at. Once" is saving clause in the accusing conscience of women.
 The modern prayer for forgiveness is chiefly for things we have not done
 The only time one is sure of is the present. putting off to some more con- venient moment is to lay up reputation for rudeness or slovenliness.
 The woman who believes that to apolo- gize is to accuse will rarely have to back water on her belief if she gets into the do-it-at-once habit.
 Do it at once is but another name for the little drops of water' precept of childhood. The mighty ocean" of &C., cumulated duties will never swamp you if each wave is breasted as it comes
 Doing it at once is like oiling dusty pike. It smoothes the path of life and smothers complaint and criticism.
 Much of the fret and nerye-racking comes from postponing the things that might just as well be cleared off at once. One is worried until they are done, and more worried if they are not done.
 The girl who sews the first rip never has to take a day off for mending.
 The housekeeper who writes down an order when the cook says it is wanted; who cleans off one finger mark rather than huge smears; who believes in strengthening up when needed, rather than spasms of cleanliness, Is the one whose household machinery never gets clogged.
 The woman who puts an advertisement in the papers when the cook first gives warning rarely has to roughen her hands building the kitchen fire and peeling pota- toes.
 The girl who answers her invitations the minute she gets them never will be mor- tified by being called up over the tele- phone to know if she is coming.
 The woman who sends her checks as soon as she gets her bills. who returns her obligation calls within a week, who gets off her gifts to bride the day the cards come, who answers her letter im- mediately, never has to work the excuse of forgetfulness overtime.
 She who takes camphor at the first sneeze and liver pill when her eyeballs are yellow need not dread the hospital or spend her coin on complexion cures.
 The woman who does the nice thing when she thinks of it, who says the kind ly words as she goes along, who inquiries for the invalid when she first hears she is i'll, is not tormented by regrets when reading death notices.
 Ebert TIubbard's advice on this sub ject may be Of interest. He says.
 Chase your work; don't let your work chase you.'

 "They are so severe" she said, ''so eom- pex ana. confusing that. with the best will in the world. one gets tangled up in them-one innocently excites sus- picion''
 Mrs. Gardner smiled.
 Through pure forgetfulness." she said. many an innocent person seems guilty of smuggling, when quite as innocent really as Mrs. Bromfield Corey of Beacon street
 Mrs. Cory, you know, was shopping one day, and after making a purchase al a certain counter she absently walked off with an umbrella. But the umbrellas owner, red-haired woman, soon over took her and rather tartly got her prop erty back.
 "As Mrs. Corey. blushng and ashamed. walked on, she remembered that they were almost without umbrellas at home. The weather had an unsettled look, and then and there she bought four umbrellas --one for herself and three for the chil- dren And she told the salesman she would carry them home with her, since it looked like rain.
 Mrs Corey, riding home in an electric car with the umbrellas beside her, hap pened to look up from her evening paper and found the eyes of the red-haired woman of the lace counter fixed upon her.
 "I see you've had a successful after noon,' said the red-haired woman sternly.''
