 The time came when at recant;o. we met the marchioness face to fooa My daughter had been extremely fon, of Miss Brandon and when sha so,s her double standing among a groun ., ladies was impelled to run toward bar She checked the impulse, however m rather, did. and a few moments lato, the marchicness saw us.

 You may imagine that both mn daughter and l lost no time in goins down to greet her, and the momont Alice entered the room she rushed into her former teachers arms.
 Then, of course, we had the story The marchioness' brother, oldest son and heir of the Earl of Herendeen had become involved in speculation and had been proceeded against crimi. nally and finally incarcerated. During this trouble her father spent every cent of unentailed property to assist his son. Lady Gwendolen Fortesoue resolved to turn her education to ad. vantage, secretly sailed for America. assumed the name of her mothers family and secured a position in the public schools of St. Louis While there her father died, and under q British law that no peer of the realm can be arrested or imprisoned her brother, who became a peer at his ia. ther's death, was liberated Almost at the same time the shares of a certain corporation in which the new earl was heavily interested advanced in value on the London Stock Exchange, and he was cleared of debt. Lady Gwendo- len returned to England. resumed her position without her friends knowing where she had been and married.
 Don't tell" she said. As for me, am not ashamed of my work, but my family have made every effort to conceal the knowledge that have been a teacher in America
 The marchioness had not suffered from her experience in America. It had broadened her faculties and her character. She was a marked contrast to her sisters of the British nobility. whose notions had always been cramp- ed by their position. We were invited to visit her and during our stay were made as much at home as in the house of any American. The marchioness is now one of the chief patrons and guides of education in England, though believe it is still unknown where she derived her experience.

Aside from the half dozen big stocks which have practically monopolized trad ing during the present upward move nent there is really very little doing. Now and then come occasional spurts in some of the low-priced properties. such as Erie. Rock Island and the Wabashes. but these movements do not attract much attention and do not result in any con- tinUed rise though friends of such stocks are loudly predicting that they are going to become market leaders. Certainly they are the kind of stocks which always en- joy popular favor when there is any of that article lying around. but, to use the old saying.

Atlanta, June 12.-(Speeial.) l.)-There is little doubt about the fact that legislation governing the use of automobiles on the roads of Georgia will be enacted at the coming session of the general assembly.
 In fact, 1t Is certain a measure regu- lating the use of automobiles would have been passed last summer, had it not been for convict legislation which occupied practically the entire time of the general assembly.
 But the convict legislation adopted was a prelude, as it were, to the more extend ed use of the automobile, because 1t means extensive road improvement
 Naturally automobilists all over the state are interested in this legislation But they would vastly prefer to have a state law than continue to be subject to numerous county and municipal regula- tions with which, as a rule, they are not familiar and which are often quite harsh and unjust.
 It is considered not unlikely that some provision will be made for state registra- ton of automobiles, perhapswith the sec retary of state.
 One of the features in which the auto ists are most interested is the speed limit The speed most generally on the country roads and outside of incorporated cities and towns is 25 miles an hour. Well tion of automobiles, perhaps with the sec known Atlanta automobilists express the opinion that this figure would be gen. orally satisfactory It is quite probable that the legislature will leave to the local authorizes the question of speed within corporate municipal limits.
 Just how such situations as that at Seney, a little town in northwest Georgia, will be provided for Is not yet apparent.

AUTOMOBILES WILL BE
 REGULATED IN GEORGIA

Seney passed an ordinace the other day prohibiting any person in the place from owning an automobile, or rather prohib- itfng any person from driving a motor car within the corporate limits of the town. Many of the more conservative people laughed at the action of the town council, and 1t was predicted the ordi- nance would be short lived. No notice of its repeal, however, has yet been given, and the town marshal is still under in- structions to arrest any person driving an automobile into the town
 Another interesting suggestion made Is with reference to treatment to be accord ed visiting automobilists. Pennsylvania and New York state, for instance, permit visiting autoists to use their home num- bers while visiting within their limits. Certain other states allow visiting auto ists ten days in which to pass through the state, without requiring license or number. But not few of the states still require visitors to procure license tour about. This is process which sometimes requires two or three days, and Is of course quite annoying.
 Atlanta autoists have suggested that Georgia should adopt the more liberal policy of permitting visitors to use their home numbers as do New York and Pennsylvania. It appears 1t would be quite as effective in reaching the owner or driver of the car in case he were wanted for any reason, as would the re- quircment of & Georgia number Certain so long as he had gotten beyond the lim- it's of the state.
 There is scarcely a doubt that Georgia
The Birmingham age-herald., 1909-06-13

legislation on this subject will embody every detail considered necessary to the greatest measure of protection to pedesr trians and other classes of vehicles using the road. Yet so far as could be seen from discussion of the proposed measure last summer, there was no disposition to place harsh or unjust restrictions upon the owners of motor vehicles.
 It is believed the new legislature can be counted on to take a reasonably con servative view of the matter, yet one which will afford adequate protection to all classes of citizens. At the same time it may be well for the automobile clubs of the state to have a committee appear before the legislative committee to which the bill is referred for the purpose of giving such information as may assist in the framing of proper and satisfactory legislation.

The other prominent market leader, United States Steel common, shows some signs of profit taking, but not to any great extent. So far about points from extreme top Is the largest reaction ex- perienced-nothing to be alarmed about. Conditions in the steel trade continue remarkably good. Orders are pouring in on really boom basis. May orders dou- bled those of the corresponding period year ago, and June bids fair to keep the pace up.
 It is said in well-informed circles that the dividend which came off Steel com mon on Friday Is the last one which will be at the rate of per cent per annum. Four per cent per annum Is confidently looked for at the next declaration. In Morgan circles 75 per cent is predicted for this stock before very long. No doubt there is good deal of sentimental inf1u- ence of favorable character due to the listing on the Paris bourse.
 This certainly opens up a new big mar ket for the Steel shares-a market hither- to practically unworked. French buyers are stayers. They do not sell out on every little upward or downward fuctu- ation. The Morgan people expect to place many millions of their Steel stocks by means of this Paris listing.
 That this will be the forerunner of a general invasion of American stocks on the Paris bourse Is more than likely United States Rubber is already there It Is understood that number of our managing hnanciers are taking steps to follow the Morgan example.

Starting this week and continuing

ored pictures of the orchards. gar

Many people in and around Grand

the Pecos valley since so many of the

These photographs have been hand
colored, and one can see at a glance,
without going down to Texas, Just
what that part of the country looks
like.
The picture slides will be tremen-
dously interesting to everyone who is
in any way interested in fruit, alfal-
fla, garden truck or any branch of ag-
riculture: and those people who are
unable to go down on the excursion

With a trailing dog. or pup
That betimes will trip him up.
In the morning out and gone
AT the bugles of the dawn,
Finding wondrous games to play
In each nook along the way,
Wading brooks and climbing trees,
Fostering the honeybees
Till they sting him in despair
But what does a real boy care?
In at noon to bolt his lunch.
Then run to join the bunch
Shouts and yells and battle call
Over strife with bat and ball,
Or make-believe affray
With the pirates in his play;
Blisters. stone bruise on his heel
Scratches that his baths reveal.
Grooming in a sing-song twang,
Horrifying by his slang,
Giving every one the shakes
BY his chumminess with snakes,
Naming with a careless shrug
Every beetle. bird and bug.
Ruminant upon the grass
Watching all the clouds that pass
Coming home at fall of night.
Grimed and marred from play and
fight.
Braggadocio. weary-Yes.
With a wondrous weariness.
Dreaming on with smiles and sighs
After sleep has closed his eyes

This morning enraged and cha
grined because il had missed first
publication of one of the biggest and
most important stories of recent
years, that of the great consolidation
of local public utilities and of the
fact that between 100000 to ST.
900. 900 is to be spent at once on
interurban lines in this valley and
other improvements, further enrag-
ed and chasined because it had to
reproduce from The Sentinel the
story of the biggest official raid made
in Grand Junction in years. the yell
low this morning was more strenuous
and amusing than ever in its snarls
at The Sentinel.
Then of course the Yellow this
morning had to give the big story in
volved in the arrival of MIR. Magen-
heimer. the unexpected resignation
of Rev. Davis. of the Baptist church,
the results of the Glenwood ball
game and the big Marathon race, the
breaking of the high water records
by the Grand, the X p memorial
service. the confession of the youth
full thieves. the coming of Idaho's S
representative to Investigate the
smudge pots, all of these stories
and score of other local and tele-
graphic stories that appeared in The
Sentinel first, the Yellow had to re-
produce this morning, and this didn't
add to their good nature.
But II is the old, old story. Every
day sees the Yellow refreshing the
memory of the people by reproducing
stories that have first appeared in
The Sentinel.
The Sentinel Senator DeLong, Of
| ficials of the Chamber of Commerce
and even the Yellow itself were given
the lie by the yellow this morning
| by the bold and nervy declaration
that "NIr. Keys was in no sense the
representative of Secretary Ballin-
ger" OF course the Yellow forgot
that on Saturday it referred to Mr.
| Keys, as the personal representative
of Secretary Ba!linger." That Mr
Keys might have made some prom
Use concerning his report everybody
| knows but then the Yellow needed
something to whine about.
II was also fearful about the Red
land Incorporation papers which both
the Denver Republican and the Den
yer News, as well as The Sentinel
announced were filed Saturday with
! the secretary of state.
These and the other laughable at
tacks of the Yellow made today were
perhaps handed out in an effort to
create amusement for the Yellow s
readers who on Sunday were given
second edition of the same comic
supplement put out by that sheet the
Sunday before.
