They HE'D Will Power.

I was sitting one morning in quiet
corner at Monte Carlo when two elder
~ men sat down beside me. One was
evidently a Scotchman, and the other,
1 gathered, was from Yorkshire. The
former remarked, 81 have just man
aged it, This, I discovered, meant a
win of 20 francs. Their daily routine
was to appear at the same roulette ia
BILE at an early hour and play the low
est stake of francs on even chances
that is. on black or red or on the odd
or even numbers. They would lose
and win and win and lose, but they
remained calm and self contained and
persevered until they had each 20
francs to the good 1 observed them
daily. Some mornings they scooped in
the amount in twenty minutes, and at
other times it was q tough struggle
until luncheon time before they man
aged 1t. / never saw them fail once,
and l learned that they had pursued
the same plan for four months. One
thing was clear-nothing could tempt
them to go beyond the modest stake,
and they had the will to stop when
they won the stipulated amount. 1t
was really one Of the best illustrations
Of will power I have ever seen, for
few, indeed, who enter the portals of
the casino are able to resist the COM

play on If losing and to plunge If win

An EoeentrIe Doctor.

DR.. Zaharin was one Of the most IA
nous as he was also the most eccen-
trio Of physicians in Russia. Even
when he was summoned to attend
Gear Alexander Ill. in his last illness
DR.. Zaharin required the same prepa-
ration for his visit to the palace as to
any of his patients homes-that is to
say, all dogs had to be kept out of the
way, all clocks stopped and every door
thrown wide open. Following process
Of gradual undressing. he left his furs
I'm the hall, his overcoat in the next
foom, his galoches in the third and,
continuing, arrived at the bedside in
ordinary indoor costume. This was
only one phase Of DR.. Zaharin's golden
theory that you should take a rest
before you are tired" Accordingly
he sat down after walking every few
yards and every. eight steps in going
upstairs. From the patients relatives
and every one else in the house he re-
quired absolute silence until he spoke
to them, when his questions had to be
answered by Yes or mo" and moth
ing more. To the actual patient, how
ever, he was courtesy and considera-
tton ia the highest degree.

Hi. Business Ability.

In the Adirondacks lives a man too
lazy to work, but evidently of great
business ability. One winter when he
was sitting around smoking his family
came so near starvation thai some of
his neighbors, who could I'LL afford to

bougi. for the suffering family a bar

About Pension Payments.

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 Much has recently been said to create a distrust in reference to the integrity of Confederate pension payments. All are sensitive as to the rights of these pension CTS. Some not accurately informed have been misled by those who knowingly or unknowingly have been willing or care less in discussing this subject. Those pensioners not accurately informed have not been able to understand why their pensions are not always the same for each quarter.
 > In 1s9S-99 the first pension law for Con- federate soldiers was made In this state That law appropriates annually mill tax on real and personal property Of state and an additional of s4000OO from the gen. eral fund of the state. This amount was supposed to be sufficient for certain pen sions as named. The income from 1 mill tax is subject to fIuctuation-the s4O00O0 is fixed. These sources of taxation produced by state valuations $447,66S 05 from l mill tax and the $4O0,000 from general fund, a total of SSt7, ,68S .06 for 19os-9. The small ex- pense of the pension commission Is the only expense paid from this fund. There Is a complaint made that there Is an unpaid balance due for the fiscal year 19O6-U. up 10 that tiiHe pChSiohS WCi0 paid in lump sum for the whole year by the law of February 10, 1898-9, which directed that this yearly pension be paid ..as early after october 1 as practicable" See Sec 1T, page 233. act of legislature, 189e-9. embodied in code, Sec. 1895.
 I have heard many say they always got paid in full annually in October. when in March, 1907, law was passed directing that the pensions be paid quarterly Oc- tober l, January 1. April 1 and July i. Other laws were passed as to grade of pension, increasing amount to be paid for thosn 30 years of age and for certain physical disabilities, as the loss of an eye. leg or arm, the amount being fixed and the list always open for an increase of numbers of the pensioners, and also a change from grade by age, prevents any certffsty as to the exact amount due any pensiouer, AS these pensioners in grade and number were continually increased during the year, the amount yearly for each would be necessarily decreased. It was, therefore, the best plan to pay the first quarters of the year in full and leave the discrepancy to be evened up in the last quarter.
 As the law recognizing that there might be an insufficiency of funds to pay the full amount of pension, this being prob ably due to an unexpected increase of the number of pensioners-the law does not provide for a certain amount. but recog- nixes that the amount is dependent on contingencies of increase of pensioners.

REPUBLICANS WILL
 NOT REMAIN SILENT
ScoTTSBoRo MAN SAYS HE WILL OPPOSE AMENDMENT AND BE- LIEvEs JACKSON COUNTY WILL VOTE AGAINST IT..

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 I desire to join Julius w. Davidson in saying that the republicans of Alabama are not going to be silent on this con- stitutional prohibition question; that MT. Thompson does not speak for that party. There Is only one way for the party to speak and that Is for the party to meet in convention and speak. This has not been done, therefore each man Is left to do as he thinks best. l have been openly in opposition to it's adoption. The Car michael and Fuller bills are inlquity enough without the proposed amend ment. I think as a whole legislation has gone to seed on this prohibition question anyway. I am for temperance, but not for all this crime-making policy. I am 7e years old. been in Alabama 70 years and during all these years have never seen so much insane legislation as in the past few years.
 Alabama came into the union in 1919 and during all the years that follow 1t is left to the present governor and his legislature to demand of the taxpayers larger sums of money to pay shrewd lawyers to do what we pay an sattorney general to do.
 What was the new jury law for but to give the governor power to control cleo tions by the appointment of three jury commissioners in each county, all of the same party? I don't mean democrats, but men thoroughly Comerzed and who will follow his own or his henchmen.s direction politically. I hear it whispered that Comer's man Is now figuring on the appointments and they say no man will be considered who is not dyed-in-the- wool wool and warf Comerite.
 We'll, do not believe that the amend ment will carry in good old Jackson. I know not, if the people are left to do as they like. L. c. COULSON. Scottsboro September 4, 1909.

HICKEY IS NAMED
 ASSISTANT PASTOR
FATHER COYLE WARNS AGAINST IMMORALITY OF CERTAIN PLAYS WHICH ARE TO BE PRODUCED IN BIRMINGHAM.

The Right Rev. Edward P. Allen, bish- op of Mobile, has appointed the Rev. Ed ward P. Hickey to the position of as- istant. pastor of St. Paul's church in this city. Father Hickey is a native of Mas sachusetts and comes from the diocese of Springfield.
 The Rev. Father Matthews o. s. B. was the preacher at last mass at St. Pauls yesterday.
 in his lecture at the evening services, which children should show to their pa- rents and the respect which all persons should have for superiors and for consti- tuted authority, said the church left all the faithful free to act as they saw fit in political matters. You may be a democrat" said Father Coyle, Tor you may be republican, a prohibtionist or an prohibitionist; that Is for the in dividual to determine.' The speaker then quoted the familiar saying proverbial In Ireland during home rule campaigns: We take our religion from Rome, but our politics from home"
 Later on in his lecture Father Coyle spoke of pernicious plays and pernicious books He said that in looking over the list of theatrical attractions coming to Birmingham this season he noticed sev- eral plays that were decidedly immoral; that they contained lines which if ut tered by a young man in the parlor would cause the fellow to be horse whip ped. He told his hearers that a Catholic could not 50 to see the plays referred to without committing mortal sin.
