WHEN MIR. MORGAN
 STOPPED A TRAIN

From the Metropolitan Magazine.
 Bishop Potter was spending Sunday afternoon with Mir. Morgan at the lat ter's country place at Highland Falls The village of Highland Falls is a way station on the West Shore road few miles below West Point. and the fast trains pass it by without a stop on their first long jump away from New York. This is not a matter of much concern to the financier, who always goes back and forth on his yacht; but on this oc- easion it troubled the bishop. He was lcath to travel on Sunday. but he had an important engagement to keep in the city that night. and he remarked that he would have to take a local train. which left a little while before supper,
 "Oh, mo- said MT. Morgan, there is train after that one. Of course. you'll stay to supper
 T don't see any train," objected the bishop. and I really must get to town

away darkness the conductor came run ming up, very angry.
 What do you mean by stopping this train?" he demanded f1ercely.
 MT. Morgan still holding the lantern, told him who he was,
 'I don't care a whoop-in-blazes who you are (the conductors language here becomes unprintable). you've got no bus iness-why' he choked, there's an ex- press train followin' us-youl have a collision-l"-but MT. Morgan paid no more attention to him or his remarks.
 .All right, bishop.' he was saying gen. tly, you get right in the caboose and ride to New York"
 Which the bishop did.

 The street trees which were nobody's particular care are now committed to the custody of three leading citizens ade- quately empowered, whose zeal. civic patriotism, love of trees and administra- tive ability are concentrated on main- ! taining and promoting the welfare of the trees of their home city.

BeSSemer Car Service to Be Improved By Operation of
 Express Trains

Frankly, the company is experimenting with this through service, and is doing so during the heavy Christmas traffic, believing that if it is successful then it will prove satisfactory for other times and it is probable that the service will be continued indefinitely.
 The schedule to Bessemer will be reduced from one hour to 40 minutes, saving of 20 minutes. At the same time that this change is made the local cars will be returned to the former schedule of every half hour from a. m. to p. in leaving Birmingham; and leaving Bessemer every half hour from 5:30 a. m to D. m After those hours at night the service will be as before, car every hour.
 The company believes that this service will prove beneficial to all patrons of the line, and especially those living at Bessemer It is inaugurated for the good of the service and the company urges the patrons of the North Bessemer line to lend their aid in making it a success.

Trademark Of Purity
 On Every Can

Atlantic City, N. J., Feb. b. The National Gamers Association, at their convention here recently decided to issue a trade mark and guarantee of purity to go on every can of the products packed by members of the association. This trademark is sug- gested to assure the consumer that the contents of the can on which it appears is absolutely pure and to be sterilized and preserved solely by heat.
 The subject of guaranteeing the pur- ity and wholesomeness of canned fruits and vegetables has been the principal topic of the convention and at every mention of the plan to put a guarantee on each can has met with cheering enthusiasm.
 It is planned that members of the association using the trademark are to pay approximately one cent case on the goods they pack and sign a bond Ey which they agree to forfeit S1,000 in case of violation of the as- s,lrance made. The money realized in this manner, estimated at approxi- mately quarter of a million dollars is to be used in advertising in the newspapers and magazines to assure the consumer that canned fruits and are absolutely pure.

CATCHER KLING
 TO BE REINSTATED
President Hermann Says He Can Think of No Reason Why He Is Not Eligible t6 Reinstate-
 ment.

Cincinnati, Feb. 16.-That Catcher be reinstated and that the short sched- ule of games will be adopted at the annual spring meeting of the league in New York, was the prediction of President Hermann of the Cincinnati clhb before he left for the east last nkht Hermann said he did not see why the former Cub catcher should not be eligible as for the schedule, he did not believe there would be more than one or two in favor of the long series
 We will play 154 games next year and will on Tuesday issue the states ment to this effect. At last there ap- pears to be peace in the league, and it will be peaceful so far as I am concerned, for fthe rest of the year.
 There is no reason that I can think of now why Catcher King can not be reinstated. Of course this matter will have to be settled when 1.-the national commission meets.
 On the top of MT. Hermann comes the report that King has sent word to the commission to the efect that . if they did not allow him to play ball Es-1@Tould bring action in the civil counts for $40000 damages against the commission.

RICE AS A FOOD
 IN THIS COUNTY
John II. Oracle Has Plan to Increase Its Use Among Neeroes-OId Mam-' ny to Give Rice Cooking Les
 sons to Her Neighb0rS.

New Gascony, Ark, Feb. 16.-John M. Oracle of New Gascony, Ark, who will cultivate part of his cotton plantations this year in rice, says the Southern rice growers should en- courage the negroes of the South to use rice as a staple food. Mir. Oracle has several hundred families of ne- groes upon his plantations, and he proposes an original plan to educate them to the use of rice as a staple article of diet. His plan is to have the old time negro nanny cook at his plantation home instruct the ne- gro women in the various ways of preparing rice for table use Giving each one several days instructions at the home kitchen, with free use of rice in every manner of preparing it for food MT. Oracle says the negroes like sweet foods, and rice and molas- ses are both cheap and healthy, and both Southern products The older negroes will soon realize that rice and molasses are far better for the health of the little picanninies than fried grease and corn bread, and very much cheaper There is anoth- CT feature of rice growing that is worthy of study. The South has thousands of acres of low black lands that it is not profitable to cultivate in cotton or corn, but they are ideal rice lands. These lands will grow the rice to take the place of our Northern- bought corn and four. The cultiva- tion of rice fits in well with the cul- ture of cotton, inasmuch as the rice lands are plowed in the fall and win ter, before the work has started on the cotton farm. The planting of rice can be done after cotton planting and before cultivation commences. The harvesting of rice comes between lay by time and the picking season. A rice and cotton crop combined will give the negroes work all the year round, and by paying them cash for their work in the rice fields the ten ants will be able to largely reduce their usual credit accounts. Much more could be written of the advant- ages of the combined culture of rice and cotton.
