Loved DNe at Rr>!.

So gently and SO tenderly,
The silvery glow is falling,
Clear as the voice of angels,
When for her they were calling.
We know Gods messengers come near
When human hearts are aching.
And with them bring the soothing balm
To heal when they are breaking.
Covered with flowers all glistening
with dew,
Under the skies of heavenly hue,
Under the star-spangled canopy,
Under the blue-arched dome of the sky,
So peaceful and still in silent repose,
Now safe and secure from all of
earth's woes.
Sweet, happy rest-oblivious of care
Watched over by angels, with nothing
to fear,
Forgetful Of sorrow, forgetful Of grief,
From all of life's suffering the certain
relief
So let her rest on, in gladness she'll
wake,
But never to weep. Then rejoice for
her sake.
~ = %s,4saee< =.s--:s>.sc>!.: 49,:
Let her rest on where the moonlight
reposes;
On till she wakes when the great dawn
uncloses;
So faithful and true in her rose-co7-
cred bed,
Sweet rest for the living-ah! yes, for
the dead!
No, do not say dead! but sleeping
awhile,
In quiet retreat far away from
earth's guile.

Do you think she is lonely with angels
around,
keeping TendereSt Narch Ger the SOU
crumbling mound?
Oh, no, never lonely, for angels have
come,
And carried her safe to the beautiful
home.
To linger with them in heavenly bliss,
So different the joy to a sad world like
this.
A heavenly thought-she will watch
and await,
For her loved ones to come, at the
beautiful gate,
Oh, if they could see, she happily
stands,
With face all aglow, and beckoning
hands.
She knows they lament and their
hearts oft will ache,
For her loving presence until they
most break.
But what she has learned, if they only
knew,
How happy she is with the angels so
true,
They could cheerfully wait till con-
voy descends,
To carry them home where life never
ends;
Where on some blessed day, in union
so sweet,
The loved ones now severed in heaven
shall meet.
In heaven to learn that Jesus knows
best,
When to call home His chosen to heav-
enly rest.
To trust, and submit to heavens de-
Is wisest and best for mortals like We
On this we may build our hope and
our faith,
Iii heaven no sorrow, no parting, no
death.
Oh, then can we trust, and wait, and
be glad,
To do as the Lord wills, and no more
be sad.

A Fine Auto Garage.

Several weeks ago we noted that
Peter Johnson & Son were at work
upon the remodelling of their ma
chine shop and automobile garage
on Washington street. The work is
now nearly complete, and it gives
them ample room for automobile
storage and repairing, feature OF
their business which is rapidly
growing with the constant addition
OF new machines TO those already
here. Cement floors have been con-
structed throughout the building
and new space added, which gives
them a garage of about 60x40 feet,
approached easily from the street,
with rear exit. The Office has been
fitted up in good shape and the
plumbing shop moved into the form
er auto repair shop. Pits have been
dug for auto repair work, and every
facility for the rapid handling OF
work installed. The auto depart
ment is in charge of Oscar w.
Bauder, a thoroughly experienced
automobile expert, which guarantees
prompt and satisfactory service.

A Sweet Pea Specialist.

Elsewhere in this paper will be
found a notice of the Sweet Pea
seed of Edgar A. Higgins of Avoca,
N. Y. Mr.. Higgins is newspaper
man whose fascinating fad for many
years has been the cultivation of
these charming flowers. With just
such varieties as he now offers, he
has won hundreds of prizes in the
hottest competition with experienced
specialists all over the country. One
of his most notable triumphs was
the winning of the two gold medals,
awarded for Sweet Peas, at the great
Pan-American Exposition a few
years ago. This paper takes pleas
ure in assuring its readers that all
who favor Mr.. Higgins with their
orders will be both justly and gener-
ously dealt with.

start for home on the ocean voyage
again.
After lunch We found another spe-
cial train waiting for us at the sta
ton and were taken to Culebra,
where we found Col. Goethals await
ing us in his Office, and we listened
for two hours or more to a lecture
upon the canal project from the man
who is in absolute charge of all the
work. First we were shown a COM
plete model of the canal locks, with
ships passing through them and the
explained to us, after which, using
large Typographical map of the
isthmus, Col. Goethals gave us d
general idea of the country, the old
French canal, the new canal, the
lakes that will be formed by its
completion, the locks, the great
Gatun dam, the numerous rivers
that cross the canal and the method
Of the control of the water, and in
fact every detail that both lac and
and hundred and fifty unusually
inquisitive people could think Of
So that when we started out the next
morning to see the work we had a
splendid general idea of it all, and
the reasons for building it as they
are doing.

THE PARIS BOULEVARD

F'rancique Sarcey.
 In every great capital there is somo corner, some spot--a something,-a prom onade, perhaps, where 1t gathers and concentrates itself, as it were; which Is the center of it's moral activity, and, as we saw nowadays, its characteristic. With us, that corner, that spot is the boulevard. I do not exactly mean that the boulevard is Paris, but surely, without the boulevard we should not understand Paris.
 I shall always remember one of the keenest emotions of my youth. I had been obliged, owing to my duties at the time, to banish myself to the provinces, where I had remained almost two years, confined within a small town. The hour came at last for me to return to Paris and once more to enter into it's posses sion. Hardly had I deposited my trunk at the hotel, when I ran to the Made lene and clambered on top of one of the omnibuses that ply along the line of the bouevards to the Bastille. I had no business at the Bastille, but I was almost crazy with joy at breathing dur ing the drive that perfume of Parisian life which arises so strongly from the asphalt of the boulevard and the mac adam of it's roadway.

Eueland's Great Constitutional Issue

The house of lords refused to act on the bill which would have deprived it of plenary power over bill passed by the house of commons. It simply passed the Roseberry resolutions by which it agreed to cooperate in it's own reform. and then it adjourned Yesterday the house of commons was dissolved. and the elections for a new one will be begun on December B. Thus will be begun con stitutional crisis that will far outrank in history anything that Gladstone, Dis raeli or Salisbury did.
 The liberals aided by the nationalists and laborites will contend that a heredi- tary house shall no longer stand in the way of reforms. The lords will not meet the issue squarely and frankly. They dare not go before the people in a straigktaway defense of the hereditary principle in legislation. They will try to avert the storm by claiming that a lib- eraI victory means home rule for Ireland and that that would ruin the British kingdom.
 If the liberals wiz in the elections no doubt q home rule bill will> be brought in, but first of all the King will empow- CT. the premier to add enough peers to the house of lords to overcome the op- / position to the veto bill. The veto bill is the crux of the elaction. The power of the lords will be taken away if the people so vote, no matter how long the house of lords may last. When it's power Is gone 1t will soon cease to have in huence
 If the tories carry the elections home rule will be indefinitely postponed and the muddle over the power of the house of lords will be indefinitely continued It is wholly improbable that the unionists can gain 70 seats, and a parliament con trolled by the liberals by reduced ma tcrity. is the more probable outcome.

together as to all subjects that per tain to all.
 The subjects named for discussion show what the intention is. These sub iects include conservation, the short ballot. direct primaries. the Income tax, popular election of United States sen- ators, legislation against corrupt prac- tices, and the like, including the twi- light land between the nation and the states.
 There is chaos among the states touching marriage and divorce, the or ganization of corporations, assessments and taxation and scores of other im- portant matters. If the governors and the governors -elect can bring the states to unity and harmony as to these subjects they will have accom- plished a great deal. Thus far they have accomplished but little.
 Gov.-elect Emmet ONeal will repre- sent Alabama at the conference. It will be his first appearance in the capacity to which he has been called, and the states dignity will surely be upheld by him in the Blue Grass state.

Beginning of tha HOokWOrm War

Tonight the hookworm campaign is to be opened at Dothan. This will be the beginning of the campaign for the eradi- cation from this state of the pest This campaign Is to be conducted by the state working side by side with the Rockefeller hookworm commission. After the meeting at Dothan the field agents of the commission aided by Dr. Dinsmore, state supervisor, and by Dr. Sanders, state health officer, will enter at once Houston and adjoining counties with view to finding persons afflicted with the hookworm. The work will go on until the entire state has been searched.
 Every physician and every other per son who has reason to think they know of cases should communicate with Dr. w ". Dinsmore at Montgomery The hookworm war in this state can be rem dered effcent and helpful if every physi-
 clan will assist in it to the extent of
 making known suspected cases. This
 would serve individuals as well as the
 state, and no publicity would follow.

WISE IN THEIR TIME

From the Knoxville Sentinel.
 Birmingham has just held Jubilee over it's census showing.
 The 132,OOO reported for the Iron City gives it a gain of 245.4 per cent in 10 years.
 This, of course, Is a showing which entities Birmingham to celebrate.
 Only Los Angeles and some cities in Oklahoma have done better in point of percentage of increase.
 Birmingham made a substantial in- crease in the old corporate limits. But the people of that city were wise in their time. They knew that most of the growth had been outside the corporate limits. So they annexed their suburbs The legislature and governor were willing and Greater Birmingham was accom- pIished. Forty-eight square miles were Included in the enlarged city. Atlanta has miles, Richmond 10 square miles.
 Squirm as Memphis will the census figures will give Birmingham preced- ence, despite the disparity of area.
 The publicity gained by Birmingham
  by this growth in population will be of incalculable benefit to that city during the next few years.
 It will enjoy a reputation which will make 1t the envy of other southern cities.
 Other cities have failed in proper move ments to enlarge their boundaries The knockers and obstructionists have won The city limits have remained small The growth In population has been on the outside. The people of these cities should take note of what Birmingham has done Time should be taken by the forelock The legislature should be asked to annex territory immediately surrounding such cities. There are many reasons for this besides the population reason.

nm not lean enough to be thought . good student. Twelfth Night
Mr. Lodge Gan Be Defeated

The New York World urges the demo-. crats in the Massachusetts legislature to cooperate with the insurgents in ev- cry possible manner toward the defeat of Henry Cabot Lodge, the senator of privilege above any other man in the chamber of privilege. The World frank fv urges the democrats in the legislature to support "a high-minded republican who entertains enlightened views upon the tariff and who will not be a mere manakin for special interests"
 There is good sound sense in this prop osition. There is nothing dishonorable in 1t. It is no Illinois dicker. It is an attempt to dislodge Lodge and to elect a senator who represents the rank and file. That is what the recent election meant, and an open and outspoken al- liance of all opponents of privilege in the election of a successor of MT. Lodge would be good sense and good politics-some such man, for example, as ex-President Charles W. Eliot. The democrats can not force the election of a democrat, but they can aid in electing a near-democrat and an upholder of popular rights, and this is just what they should do.

Meeting of Governors In Kentucky

The governors and governors-e elect of 46 states are to meet today at Frankfort, Ky, to attend conference that will sit five days. Four of the days are to be spent. however, in Louisville.
 Many subjects are to be discussed by the strictly academic branch of the government that William George Jor- dan has cultivated and brought into existence. Mr. Jordan is the secretary of the house of governors. and he be- lieves it can become an useful adjunct of government in the republic.
 The chief and basic object of the new parliament-extra official though it be--is to bring state action up to unity and harmony. The hope is that the 46 states. or 4S, as the number soon will be, can be induced to pull

All-Alabama Today

Today delegates and representative men will assemble in the capital city to discuss the condition of the state and to make plans for its betterment. Let us hone the delegates will plan to aid the cities of-the state by first aiding the agricultural districts. Per haps the most direct way of aiding the fural communities consists in building their market places. This of itself would attract white farmers, and white farmers are sadly needed in this state, fast losing negro labor.
 The keynote at Montgomery today should be, better roads and more white farmers" How to get them is the prob lem. The state cannot be brought fully under cultivation and up to a maximum of prosperity and productive ness until we do have good roads until farmers from the northwest, or rather from the middle west, can be induced to come to a favorable climate rather than to go to the shivering cli- mate of northwestern Canada. When be burdened with crops. and there will be no cultivatable lands in this state selling for a song.

From the Metropolitan Magazine.
 T was taking lunch with a friend or mine recently who has small boy about three years old," said gentleman. As a very special favor, and to please me, his mother allowed him to come to the table, telling me that she could not promise that he would behave in the proper manner. as she had never tried him before. The boy behaved very well until the dessert came on the table. As this proved to be ice cream, his favor ite dish, he wanted to have a second dish. His mother refusing, he said; If you don't give me some I'll tell on you. The mother still refusing. he cried out: If you don't give it to me before I count 10 I'll tell.
