GREAT ARTISTS sELFIsHNEss

Apropos of Turner'S meanness, Il is
told how elliot, patron Of Turner, called
upon the great painter to purchase his
work and said:
''NOw, Turner, 1 have bought many a
picture of yours and have spent many
thousands Of pounds, but you have never
even offered me a glass Of wine. Yet I
am told that you have some Of the best
grand old stuff you buy down the
Thames when you go to your favorite
haunts among the smugglers and others.

Turner reluctantly produced a bottle OF
old port and, grumbling all the time,
poured out a glass. The connoisseur
drank it.
well, 1 neverl That's the finest glass
Of wine 1 have ever tasted. You mean
old fraud! I'll be equal to you next
time"
Next year elliot came around again.
After business. wine was suggested, and,
after some difficulty, Turner had to pro-
duce his port. elliot drank it, and then
spluttered:
"Oh. good graciousl Am I poisoned?
What's this? Some Of your internal btu
men, or what2"

TWO THOUSAND
MEXiCAMS ARE DEAD
Continued from Page I.

Thousands of persons have taken refuge
in the cathedral and the churches. Many
adobe structures, soaked by the rain, are
falling. and there has been some aQQl-
tiopal loss of life from this cause.
The railroad situation is deplOTable. On
the branch of the International there are
score OF washouts. The iron bridge at San
Juan has gone out and seXenty-fiVe miles
of the track of the MatamOras branch
have been washed out. There are a dozen
wash0Uts between MatamOTas and Cuevas,
and the iron bridge over the Riuconaga
between Saltillo and Monterey is gone.
The total loss to the railroads probably
viii exceed 500 600.
Eighteen blocks of residences and bust
ness houses were entirely washed a"aE
i'm Monterey. The more wealthy people OF
the city. together with the American resi-
dents, are contributing TO the mayors
fund, which is being expended for food.
The greatest loss of life is said to have
been caused by the giving way of the
reservoir dam Monterey is situated i'm a
cuplike valley and is surrounded on three
sides by steep mountains. The waters
rushed into this valley. down the bed Of
Santa Catarina river. This stream is or
dinarily $50 yards wide, but with the al al
vent of the flood its banks We're fully
three-Quarters Of a mile apart. It is es-
timated that eighteen inches of rain fell.
Relief Measures.
The federal authorities here are busy
with the organization of relief measures.
Benefit theatrical performances, bull
fights and fairs are being planned. Sub
scripton lists are being opened all over
Mexico City and other cities of the re
public are responding to MOnterey's urg-
ent call for assistance.
Further reports indicate that other river
settlements have been swept away. The
town of Cadereyta. situated in the river
bottom. is said to have been destroyed
and IT is feared there has been heavy
loss of life in the country district adjacent
to the Santa Catarina river.
Tho fact that the water mains are brok-

old polluted wells for drinking water. The

 "The changing tide in Alabama poli- ties recalls very forcibly the reaction against Mahoneism in old Virginia in 1SS3" said member of Birmlngham's s Virginia colony. "In 1879 General Ma hone, a disappointed candidate for Governor, bolted the Democratic tick t and led the fight which resulted in the election of q Legislature committed to Q readjustment of the State debt From that time until 1883 Malone had abso- lute control of Virginia. He was elect ed to the United States Senate as a readjuster Democrat but afterwards turned Republican.
 "Never had Virginia known such ty- ranny in politics as Malone subjected them to. Office seeking Democrats of the smaller sort rushed to Mahone's standard and not a few men of first class ability, but devoid of principle. 1 got in Mahones band-wagon. All par tisans of Malone had to wear a slaves collar. That was the only condition on which the mighty boss would re- ceive them. AS direct result of Ma hOneism there was much rioting

The Pa--,pE Of the Sod House.

Kansas City Times
 "The old sodhouse looked rough on the outside, but it was warner in win ter and cooler in summer than a framt house." Samuel Rhodus, Of Norton. kas, said last night at the Union Depot. '"rhe thick layer of sod used In the construction of these buildings l kept the heat out fin summer and kept 1t in in the winter."-News Item in The Star of This Morning. But the old sod house is passing. In- deed, 1t would be quite proper to say that the old sod house has passed so far as Kansas Is concerned. It Is doubt full if one-half the people now living in that State ever saw a sod house. Even In Western Kansas, where there was hardly a dwelling of any other material a quarter of century ago. the old sod cabins of the pioneers have disappeared. Only a few of them re- main.
 But the early settlers who dwelt in the sod houses never appreciated the sympathy wasted upon them for that reason by the folks back yonder." For If any compensation were needed for the circumstances that compelled them to live in houses of sod, 1t was forth coming in the comfort afforded by them. They were warmer in winter time: cooler in summer. and, 1t is claimed more healthful even than the frame houses which have displaced them.
 There was nothing. though, in the sod house to satisfy the tastes or the ambitions of the "women folks" who took delight in home making. It could never be more than sod house No touch of establishment could add enough to its appeara to make 1t look homelike or attractive. This trail ing where trailing vines would ever consent to grow--that covered the sod house in summer added nothing g much to its advantage, and it refused to respond to any effort to become an inviting dwelling place.
 But the sod house served a necessary purpose in Kansas and 1t served it we'll For that reason It's passing nwakens some recolleetions of the sod house period that Kansas does not care | tu forget

. statement--a statement that calls att tention to manifest unfairness.
 There is no room to doubt sentiment m Montgomery County on the question. The voters of this county are over whelminsly against the amendment and anybody that knows anything about conditions here know that. There are some sincere and earnest men 'n favor of the amendment in the city of Montgomery. Rut they are in q hopeless minority. This of course does not and should not affect their oon- victions. But the fact remains that they are in . minority and nobody would be quicker to admit it than they.
 Local politicians may or may not be right when they claim that Montgom- cry County will give a 2.s00 majority against the amendment. That is large- lv a matter of guess work. But the continent In the capital county is so one sided that no well informed man doubts it. If the enthusiastic consti- tutional prohibitionists wish to boost their cause the less they say about the strength of Montgomery County the better it will be for them

WE MUST GET THE MASONIC HoMI

WE MUST GET THE MASONIC HOME.
 Montgomery must have the Masonic Home
 This city Is the natural. logical and proper place for it. It rests only with the citizens of Montgomery to say whether the Home shall be located here or whether 1t shall be located in . smaller city The Masons have been offered several excellent sites in other cities and towns of Alabama. but the Masons themselves want the Home lo- cated in this city. Montgomery has only to make an offer equal to that of other places to secure the institution, which will mean much to the city in after years. If the people of Mont gomery will offer a site of 100 acres for the home we believe that 1t can be secured. This should and will be done.
 The Masonic Temple. the home of the Grand Lodge of Masons. Is located here: the Masons have always been pleased that they chose Montgomery as headquarters city for the Masons The Knights of Pythias of Alabama have purchased a fine lot on Dexter avenue and will shortly erect the AL abama Pythian Temple. The Masonic Home should be located here and MontEomery's reputation as the head quarters for great charitable and fra ternal organizations would be even more firmly established among the cities of the South
 The Masonic Home would be q no- table acquisition to any city It will be Q beautiful and costly structur the upkeep of which would materially contribute to the trade of the city. Tho people of Montgomery would not have to support the institution. No taxes would be collected for it's support. and naither State. city nor county would have aught to do with it's maintenance. The Masons of Alabama would main- tain this institution, at once beautiful and permanent. The orphans of Ma sons will be supported as well there as though their parents were living and they will be given as thorough educa- ton as though their parents still lived and provided for them
 A joint meeting of the Masons of Montgomery will be held tonight at the Temple at which ways and means for securing the home will be discuss present tonight.
 The people of Montgomery should welcome warmly the canvassinE com nlittees. which will go out tomorrow and Thursday
