"she thinks IL more typical"
sneered Millicent; myself. prefer
cleanliness and comfort to types"
Their rooms were waiting for them
and two bell boys ushered Mrs. Winter
into her suite. Randall was lodged on
the same floor, and Mrs. Melville, who
was to spend few days with her
aunt on the latter's invitation, was on
a lower floor. The colonel had begged
to have Archie next to him; and he
examined the quarters with approbar
ton. His own room was the last OF
the suite; to the right hand, between
his room and Archie's. was their bath;
then the parlor Of Mrs. Winters suite
next her room and bath, and last, 70
the right, Miss Smiths room.
Archie was sitting BY the wtndSp
looking out on the street; only the
oval OF his soft boyish cheek showed.
The colonel went by him to the parlor
beyond. where he encountered his
aunt, her hands full Of gay postal
cards.

Afterward It seemed to him that this
whole interview with Millicent could
not have occupied more than four min

minutes since he had seen Archie

Far.reaciring recommendations OF re-

companies doing business In Alabama
are contained in the annual report of
insurance Commissioner Frank N. Jul
dan to be sent Immediately to the Gov
erncr The report looks principally to
remedial legisiation. and 1t Is a mat
ter OF common knowledge that great
pressure will be brought to bear on
the Governor to get some important
laws changed at the earliest possible
moment.
Again the question Of municipal tax
alton is put to the front by the de-
partment. special plea is made in
behalf of the smaller fire and life in
surance companies trying to do busi-
ness In this State or desiring to enter.
It 10 predicted that the list of licensed
companies would be swelled apprecia-
bly, IL only the municipalities in their
zeal to raise revenue would adopt a
more friendly attitude towards the in
surance organizations. IT Is pointed
out that no serious objection is made
by the companies to the State premiu m
tax on fire premiums of 1 1-2 per cent
ana on life of per cent.
But the flat rates ranging from a
few dollars by the towns and cities
to four hundred dollars for each COM
pany as the maximum says Commits
sioner Julian, has had the effect of
causing many companies to withdraw
from the State and others have dis
continued In the cities where such
taxes are highest.

PEOPLE EAGER FOR THE
IMMIGRANT FARMER

There are many communities In
Alabama which would welcome the
coming OF the small farmer. the imi-
grant from other states. Such was
the statement Of 8. Hechinger. OF
Birmingham. last night.
Mr.. Hechinger stopped in Montgom-
cry enroute to his home In Birming-
ham. He has during the past few
territory OF the state and he says that
everywhere he has been he has found
the communities willing to contribute
to the bringing of the small farmer
to Alabama. Mr.. Hechinger does not
believe in sending on for the penni-
less immigrant, but hia idea for the
Improvement of the agricultural con-
ditions OF Alabama, Is to make In
ducements to the small farmer who
has already received his start In life
in other states. but because of the
high price OF land. In not able to do so
well as he could in Alabama. He
wants the small farmer shown the ad-
vantages of bringing his money to
Alabama for investment. He wants
tho thrifty sort, the kind that saves
his money and puts 1t into more soil.
For two or three years. Mr.. Hech-
niger has been taking an active in
Lere@I IN L1lH WOTk. 1hSEc 40 " law
on the statute books Of the state au-
thorizing the appointment of q COM
missioner of immigration. but 1t seems
the governor does not think that such
an appointment Is needed by the people
and has not made any such appoint
ment. On the board of immigration
according to the statute is the COVER
nor, commissioner OF agriculture and
the commissioner. which IL to be nam
ed by the governor. Mr.. Hechinger
says that II a commissioner was nam
ed to represent the state. the bringing
of the immigrant farmers to Alabama
would be an easy matter. He says
that the naming of such a commission
err will not cost the state anything
as the law provides that the communi-
ties to be benefited shall pay the ex-
penses of the immigration board.
The Commercial Club Is to take the
matter up in Montgomery in the next
few weeks and Mr.. Hechinger has been
invited to attend and present his views
to the gentlemen who are also inter-
ested In the proposition.

public life. 1t Is a beautiful story
leading up to the parting OF the ways
In SOIL, and 1t makes one sigh now
for a partial return of manners, GUS
toms and proprieties which to a large
extent have been forced to the rear
by the strenuous demands of more
modern days.
In more ways than one is this de-
lightful book a defense OF these, both
men and women, who made up the
South Of before the war" and par
ticularly noteworthy Is the showing
Of the splendor, mental accomplish
ments and gifts of the women of those
| golden days. Our Northern friends
could read with great profit the facts
set forth on this line for they will
learn. that the very best in the way
OF teaching at home and abroad was
girls and women. Indeed in the olden
days 1t was the Southern woman who
shone forth as the bright particular
star in Washington society and at the
notable places where men and women
distinguished in letters, art, war and
science gathered for pleasure and COM
fort The same graces of mind and
heart which SO distinguished the pro-
genitors of the present generation
still exist in their descendants and
stress of circumstances only prevent
universal recognition of that fact.
To Alabamians, especially those who
can recall the incidents of 81 at Mont
gomery, the book will prove of alb
sorbing interest. There are fine illus
trations of many of the notable men
and women of our State of those days.
From the first page to the last. and
there are nearly 500 of them, the in.
terest Is sustained and the informa-
ton about matters but little UNDER
stood or forgotten Is a missing link
that should long ago have been sup
piled.
The title of the book is a good one.
Not only do the bellies and beaux fig-
ure in a most charming way, but the
historical facts add a grace and dig
nifty which make the volume one OF
the best that has been issued In sew
eral decades.
Mr.. DeLeon deserves the thanks OF
his countrymen and countrywomsn and
his work and words should be recog-
nized in no unstinted measure when
It is remembered that this labor was
performed after he lost his eyesight.
How he could have made SO complete
a volume, running over with fact, fan
cy, romance and history is little short
of marvellous.
geographically speaking the book
is beauty. 1t is on clean, smooth
paper, every letter clearly impressed,
and the Illustrations are lifeiike. The
publishers, C. W. Dillingham; Co., OF
New York. have done themselves great
credit. The price is So and 25 cents
for postage. It can be ordered through
the book dealers OF your town and

The Anti tuberculosis League is do
