 Space forbids more than their mere mention: for 1t is With the Raphael of Richard Thompson--be he Viking or "Pirate"-thH this causerie has to do.
 Young Raphael inherited strong mem tality and strong will. He was educa- ted in good schools, and largely at home. until his fathers influence pro- cured his appointment as naval cadet at Annapolis, in his sixteenth year. There, he at once showed the metal he was made of-and developed the in- nate love for study. Information and scientific matters that clung to him through all his long. active and busy life; and even increased with his years. When he left the academy as a mid shipman.. he was about eighteen years old.
 In those days of profound peace. a small wooden navy and no expansion colonially, promotion was slow to web- footed patriots in blue. Still the young Maryander became a marked man and kept well within the departmental eye at Washington.
 With no space for detailed record Gas thi sis mere sketch and not biog- raphy), 1t may be summarized that he was often called upon for delicate, or special duty; and that he had early assignments to command ships.
 Comes to Alabama.
 In 1S41s he was ordered to survey Ship Island and its sounds, and he moved his young family to the Per dido river, in Alabama. In the Mexi- can war, Semmes was in command of the brig ''Porpoise." but was soon transferred to the flagship "Raritan' as fleet lieutenant to Commodore Con- ner of the gulf squadron. In Novem- Der of that year he was assigned to command of the brig "Somers," of ten guns. In early December. 1S46, this vessel gave chase to suspect during tremendous mortimer. She capsized

Not all men, even at the South. recall tha. 1t furnished for the Southern Copied eracy. a sea fighter whose name Is world famous; who will go down in history along with Lord Nelson and Paul Jones.
 He was the Stonewall Jackson of the sea, making the limitless valley Of the oceans field for his campaign; one that in celerity, intuitive perception or CT. feet and in real result was as helpful as that in the Valley of Virginia; as impressed upon history as its twin by Napoleon in Italy.
 Farther removed from the ken of his E co-fghters and of his critics, Semmes' record in the war shows attributes Identical with those of Jackson. Re- ticent. daring swift to plan and reck- less in execution, both sought counsel only from within and-kept action apace with conception. And both--the quarry once in view or surely scented-fell upon it with the unerring drop ot the ea-eagle on his predestined prize

It Is fitting then that the Confederate organizations all over the Union--organized as they are to pre- serve true records should honor the centennial of ''the Viking of the South."
 Born in Maryland.
 Raphael Semmes was born In his Ia ther's home, Charles county, Mary land, on the twenty seventh of Sep tember, 1909, seven months after the Kentucky log house become historic as the cradle of the martyr president Seven months before the latter history making event, Jefferson Davis was born in the same state and but few miles away.
 Raphael Semme's father was Richard Thompson Semmes; of good old French stock that peopled the lower counties of Maryland, under Lord Baltimore, anc fourth in descent from the first Ameri- can sire; Benedict Joseph Semmes. who landed in 1640.
 Richard was the -aeldest of the five sons of Joseph Semmes,of Pisca ataway Charles county. who married Henriet- ta Thompson of the same county. The families of all the brothers were large and their issue stands prominent and widespread in many States today.

Southern people are more or fess charged with lack of endur- ance. strength and nerve con troi. but that this Is due sole " to malaria and clinRtic con ditions is undisputed. The fol- lowing offers an effectual meth od oi overcoming such conditions Coming from a source of un- questioned authority on the aii- ments of men it Is presumed to De tnfallible. while the profess sion generally endorse the iu- Eredients and prescribe them in many different forms of various diseases. The following formu- la Is highly efficient In quickly restoring in nervous exhaustion. meiancholia. anxiety timidity In venturing. dizziness. heart pai- pitation. trembling limbs. in somnia, thinness. cold extremi- ties, tirei-all-in feeling and een- eral inability to do those nat ural and rational acts upon which depends a mans success and happiness in social and everyday life.
 The instructions for mixing at home secretly so that no em- barrassment may be felt. are as
 
 Of syrup sarsapaYiila compound and one ounce compound fluid balmwort: mix and let stand two hours. Then add one ounce compound essence cardiol anu one ounce tincture cadomene compound (not cardamom), ana mix all together. The directions are to take one teaspoonfui af- ter each meal and one when re- tiring. until bounding health and full strength are restored. Even a few weeks will witness most wonderful results.

much more searching than formerly. but after the returning voyagers have safely passed their ordeal they are likely to be held up at the outer gate on leaving the pier by extra watch men who minutelyS examine overcoats and wraps; delve into handbags and often examine the very clothing that the passenger wears in their search for additional objects that might pay tribute
 In view of the fact that all this un- pleasant vigilance has never resulted In adding more than three-fourths of a million dollars to the national income in the course of a year. 1t seems to most persons hardly worth while, but no other means has yet been devised of preventing the occasional smuggling of valuable articles.
 It is estimated that the census of 1910, preparations for which are all ready actively under way. will give New York more than 4.5o0.ooo popuia- ton and will show that the city has gained over a million population since the last national count of noses in 1900.
 According to the predictions of sta tisfcal experts this will represent be- tween one fifteenth and one-twentieth of the increase for the whole country.
 If this prophecy proves true It Will mean that New York is growing much more rapidly than the country as a whole. a condition that probably holds good in every large city of the United States. In fact the experts figure that next years enumeration Will show that one-third of the total population or the nation now lives in cities, or more than twice the proportion Of fifty years ago.
 A number of enterprising concerns have already started guessing con tests as to these various features or the census with prize for those whose estimates come nearest to the actual results.
