Bachelor Seals Sad Life.

"This skin,' said the furrier, "eame from young bachelor, youth ignorant of love and of life"
 "Tfow do you .know?" the woman asked.
 By it's fneness, it's perfection" he re- piled ''The pile, you will note, is like close-eut velvet Only bachelor sealskins have such pile.
 "The bachelor seal" he went on. "has a rather sad life. The big bull seals in the seal island have each a household of fifteen to twenty wives, but the young bachelors must herd by themselves. Let one of them attempt to marry, and straightway a bull stays him. Not till he is big enoughSto fight and conquer d bull--not till he is fourteen or fifteen years old-can he know the delight of settling down in 8 home of his own. He is not like the human bachelor, the fav- orite of the chorus girls, the reveler in all sorts of club luxuries; but he leads hard, ascetic, celbate life, only in the end, as like as not, to make a woman a fine ceat. All the fine coats, repeat, are made from the unhappy bachelor seals"

WoMAN'S FALL
Many Things Happened In a Very

Waterbury, Conn, Special to the New
 York World.
 Shingling a roof on a farm house this morning, Mrs. Ellen Petersen slipped and dropped down between the house and an ell. She was so tightly wedged she had to be pulled out by the legs with tackle during which she broke a finger and lost a garter and stocking.
 In falling she threw the hammer with which she had been working so that it struck a COW, owned by Ben Wedge. The COW took fright and in running along the highway broke a leg and must be killed

 Would this not be worth an effort? Can we not do the same as the west and north has done, as Canada is doing now, with superior climate. with cheaper and more fertile lands than either of them have? Assuredly we can do so.

It would make the south the greatest and richest part of this country. It would revolutionize conditions and soiye many of the questions with which the south struggles today, including labor. 10 quote again from the report of MT. Gaus- den: ''The history or all immigration shows that the first immigrants to any locality were not laborers, but settlers, bomeseekers, and that when consider ahle number of them had been placed their friends and relatives followed ana constituted the laboring class. It would do more than this It would force thou sands of negroes to become actual lapof- CTS, who are today idling three-fourths of their time away on the plantatlohs making crops of cotton ana corn on lneil own responsibilities as renters, under the pernicious credit system in vogue for So many years.
 To. bring this subject nearer home, let us consider for a. moment the immense agricultural resources of our state. Dal- las county, for instance, has over 63,0oo acres of land of whicff only about one third is cultivated and that fndifferentiy after the manner of negro renters. The agent of the United States agricultural department. which maintains an experi- mental station there has demonstrated to
 the planters in Dallas county that among
 other things tobacco can be raised on
 their lands which will net an average
 profit of s1oO per acre. There are ac-
 cordingtto United States authority about
 10000 acfes in Dallas county capable of
 producing this tobacco, yet very little
 has been done in that direction, and why?
 Because they have not got the people there necessary to work the lands. Be- sides there are thousands of acres of lands
 on which all kinds of crops could be
 produced, alfalfa grass, wheat, vegetable, fruit, etc., and all these vast resources, these undeveloped riches, lying dormant in the soil for the want of a thrifty farm ing population.
 We find practically the same conditions all over the state; million of acres of land waiting to be converted into truck farms, dairy farms, orchards and tobacco fields. aye even cotton and corn fields, but poorly cultivated; lands wasted and ruined for want of soil culture by a shiftless, ignorant class of tenants, lands which should produce the wealth of the state and make Alabama with It's un- | equaled climate and industrial resources one of the most prosperous states in tho union and yet public sentiment so | lethargic, too indifferent, even among | those who for their own sake Ahould be | most interested, to make any effort in be l half of a movement so full of promise for the future progress and prosperity ol

ions of one or two individuals, the
following statement Of results >. ts
made: ~. -.
It is apparent on it's face that the
person interviewed based his opposi-
tion to the commission system upon
the fact that the blind pigs of Man
dan are closed. We opine that the
German citizens of Morton county
would be inclined to resent his i'm
putation that they are bound to have
their malt and hops" whether it is
legal to sell it or not, and we are
quite confident that the citizens of
Mandan, German and American, are
too law abiding TO-. insist upon the
re-opening and ''licenseing" Of the
blind pigs in spite of the constitu-
ton and the universal disposition on
the part of the authorities to enforce
the law. But be this as it may, the
commission was not responsible Tor
the closing Of the saloons; this was
done last fall before the commission
came into power by the state and
county officials. but If it has upheld
the hands Of the county officials and
refused to wink at the violation OF
the law, it has only been doing
thoroughly what the old city council
in it's last days was attempting to
do in a weak and inefficient way.
The closing or running of the blind
pigs has at no time been an issue
with the city commission, either in
determining the question of adopting
the commission, in the selection of
the commissioners; after its adoption,
or the management of the: city by
them since their selection. The ques-
ton of whether the people of Mandan
favor saloons, licensed or unlicensed,
has no bearing whatever upon the!
question whether they are pleased
with the commission system. This
latter question will be determined
and solved alone by the way the COM
mission will have managed the finan-
ces of the city; by the amount Of i'm
provement they will have Il secured,
and the amount and quality Of the
police protection; they will have fur
nished to the citizens with the means
at their disposal.
Upon this point 1t may be we'll to
canvass the situation ~ and assert
just what has been accomplished, If
anything, by the new commission.
The commission went into Office on
December LIST, 1907, and since then
has diligently carried forward the
good work begun by the old council
in the matter Of street crossings, and
has continued the extension Of &C.
ment sidewalks, so that now prac-
tically every lot in the central part
of the city has broad cement walk
in front of it, and in anothed year
the wooden sidewalk will be but a
memory. Lack of funds has prevent
ed the accomplishment of all that
was hoped for in the matter of the
crossings. but: another year will see
cement crossing at every street in
tersection. - Y 81 .: n g gs2s I" " &3 /

been such help in making i'm
