Heart toHeart
Talks.
By EDWIN A. NYR.
THE DIFFERENCE.
Variety Is the spice of life.

variety Is the spice OF lie.
Therefore spice it.
Do you wake up with grouchy feel
ing that your life is daily humdrum
Of monotony, dreading the tedious
hours ahead of you?
Well, you can spice it.
You can yawn and growl and view
the prospect with apathy or with dis
gust. You can sit down in surly mood
to your breakfast, vouchsafing no
word save that of complaint You can
get up and kick the dog. and yowl
scat at Table, and slam yourself
out Of the door and scowl yourself
down the street.
That would afford variety. Or
When you wake up you can say.
ITS only eight hours and then back
home Nagain." Notice the difference in
the mental point Of view.
In the kitchen wife is getting break
fast. Not much variety In that. Sup
pose you introduce some. Slide up to
the wife and kiss her and tell her she
is the best ever, which may surprise
her some, but that is variety. is it not
Go to the childrens bedroom. In
stead of yelling them out of bed, call
ing them lazy sleepyheads who will
grow up to be ne'er-do-wells, romp
them out of bed. What fun for the
children and variety for you!
That's spice.
Herd the Riddles down to breakfast,
stalking at the head of the process
sion, they sedately keeping step in
their nighties. Tell mother to sit down
at the table and eat with the rest. Set
tie the coffee yourself and bring in
the breakfast food in high waiter
style, making the Riddles laugh and
mother smile.
That's variety for you.
And don't forget to brag little con.
corning mothers cooking, which, may.
be, will be another variation from the
usual monotony of your life
Crack joke at Johnny. Pass Katie
slow wink. Chuck the baby under
the chin. Make the dog stand on bis
hind legs and beg for bite Stroke
tabby the right way. And then
When you have kissed the whole
bunch go out with a glorious morning
face, chin up, to your work Select
new route downtown for variety's
sake. And
Life humdrum?
Not to you.

The following poem is from a

as good as some of Walt Mason's, and
it's not copyrighted
Like old Walt Mason, when it's
hot, we write lot of tommyrot. Our
gol darn harp it will not sing, the
fiddle has a busted string. We try
our best to tempt the muse; but find,
| of course, II is no use. On being
great Walt has the bulge, and all
our stun is full OF fudge. "You imi-
tator,' say the clan, walt Mason is
the only man who can make silly
words to rhyme, and do it right most
every time. So stick your head be-
meath your wing; and, If you think
you've got to sing, go out behind the
old red barn and sing your lyric to
the farm. Don't haunt the minds of
mighty men with silly things from
your fool pen" So, now We'll hike
into our bed and put cold cloths upon
our head, and try to keep our dome of
thought from cracking from this aw-
full hot.

Poll Tax Payments

Friends and fellow citizens, you have but few days in which to pay poll taxes. On Tuesday week-in one week and a day-your time for securing your electoral rights will be ended. You will then be citizen without elec- toral rights unless you act at once.
 Out of 25,000 male citizens under 45 years of age in Jefferson county, about 5000 only have paid the poll taxes as- sessed against them. The constitution al requirement may be unwise. It is certainly unnecessary. But its un- wisdom does not help you a bit. Wise or unwise, it must be conformed to un- til it is changed by a vote of the peo- pie. Don't stop, then, to denounce the cumulative feature of the poll tax qual. ification, or the poll tax itself. All that is left to you is to pay. Go to the courthouse and get a poll tax receipt.
 In the closing days the rush will be very great, and time will in that way be wasted. Go today to the court house. Now is the time to pay poll taxes as well as to subscribe.

Early State Primary

The democratic state executive con- mittee, in fixing May ? as the date for the primary, responded to the voice of the people. It is known that major ity of the committee had intended al most up to the time of the meeting yesterday to vote for an August pri- mary. Under ordinary conditions Au- gust would have suited well. In that month the farmers can better spare time from their work than they can in the spring or early summer when they are busy with their crops. But during the past five or six years Alabama has had a superabundance of politics. The extraordinary session of the legisla- ture last summer and the prohibition amendment campaign which followed kept the state in great turmoil.
 The election on November 29 was hardly past when the campaign for 1910 took shape and the political caul- dron began to boil. The contests over the various offices to he filled have al- ready become exciting and the cam paign now in full swing will be, in the very nature of things, one of the hottest in the history of Alabama. In view of the facts, therefore, all inter- ests-agricultural, manufacturing and mercantile-will need relief as soon as possible from political distraction and strain.
 As a democratic primary is equiva- lent to an election, the people will be afforded the rest which they so much need and which they have been asking for just as soon as the result of the balloting on May 2 is known. The state committee is to be heartily com mended in this action on the primary date

Soft Coal Control of the GuggenheimS

The Guggenheims have won a seat in the House of Trusts, and they are becoming tired of the canyons of Col orado and the frigid regions of Alaska. They are spreading themselves over the country. The wires say they have hust secured 80 per cent of the 100000 acres of the New River coal fields in West Virginia, and they have planned a gigantic combination of the coal in- terests of southern West Virginia, the Fairmont field, and the holdings of the Pittsburg Coal company. When this is accomplished the Guggenheims will control 75 per cent of the soft coal of the country.
 John Hays Hammond is their chief agent, and 1t is his duty to keep in touch with the White House. He is really a member of the kitchen cab met

SEN NATORSHlP IS
 STILL IN DEADLOCK

Jackson, Miss, January 24.-After g. recess of three days the legislative caucus resumed balloting tonight in an effort to choose successor to the late United States Senator A. J. McLaurin. Both ballots today, however, indicated that the caucus Is as tightly deadlocked as ever, the several candidates showing practically the same strength as when the caucus adjourned on Thursday.
 After tonight's session reports were current that an agreement would be reached during the present week and the deadlock broken. However, both the adherents of former Gov. James K. Vardaman, who remains far in the lead, but still short of the requisite majority, and those who oppose him declare that the tide of votes will turn in their favor. On the surface there is little to indicate but that much balloting g must yet be done before selection is made.
 The result of the first ballot tonight for United States senator, the 24th bal lot of the caucus in all, was as follows. Vardaman, "A; Percy, "A; Alexander, 19; Anderson, IS; Kyle, IS; Byrd, 12; Critz, 4; scattering, s. Total, 172. Necessary to a choice, ST.

On the HomeStretch

Two hundred eager and unselfish workers are striving this week to con- plete the fund for the erection of a '. M. c. A. building that will be alike creditable to the greater city and ample to meet all demands for a gener- ation.
 It is a great thing to build a home for young men, not for single year, but for generation at least. That is what the 200 workers of today are striving to accomplish. The final sum will come in small amounts and it will not be secured without effort. A spirit of cooperation is needed this week, and if it makes itself manifest and is busy and alert, great victory will be recorded.
 It is estimated that 1000 individuals and concerns remain that are friendly to the movement, and if they subscribe toward the erection of Young Men s Christian association building, the eff fort will be crowned with success this week It is to be, however, a week of work and strenuous effort, and the POO active workers in the field will need every possible encouragement, every possible altruistic and whole-souled CO., operation.

Watching For the Comet.

People all over the country seem to be having a hard time getting glimpse of the new African comet" said a man in- terested in scientific subjects. "This has been true in Birmingham because of the recent cloudy weather. It seems as though every time I think to look for the comet it is cloudy. forgot about 1t Sat urday night until 1t was too late, and Sunday night and tonight it was entirely too cloudy. I notice that the astronomers at the Yerkes observatory near Chicago are having the same trouble. They have been trying to see enough of the new visi- tor to get some data upon which to de- termine It's orbit, but the clouds have put their telescopes out of business and they are in the same difficulty as the layman.
 There is something fascinating about a comet to the average man, and while there is nothing remarkably spectacular about it, I suppose the interest is based on the infrequency of their visits and, accordingly, their novelty.
 q am going to keep on trying until get glimpse of the new one. under stand it is visible just after the sun sinks below the horizon and appears just above the point where the sun goes down."

RUN ON BANK IN
 MEXICO CITY

Mexico City, January 24-A run on the United States Banking company of this city started an hour before the close today. Twenty accounts aggregating 200.- 600 pesos were withdrawn. Officials in charge declare the institution is solvent
 The run started when it became known that George I. Ham. the presi- ednt, had resigned. Depositors were paid in full as fast as checks were pre- scented. It is rumored tonight that the run will be resumed tomorrow morn ing in spite of assurances given this afternoon that the institution is able to pay dollar for dollar.
 The National Bank of Mexico and the Bank of Montreal have placed James Forsyth, assistant manager of the Mexican branch of the Bank of Mon terey. in charge of the affairs of the United States Banking company.
 Most of tine stock of the latter in stitution is held by Canadians. Since MT. Ham came to Mexico he is said to have amassed a fortune of $2.500,000 and is said to have transferred all of his personal possessions to prevent the bank from closing it's doors He is now said to be in a sanitarium here suffer ing from the effects of worry.
 The United States Banking company is capitalized at 100000 pesos with deposits amounting to S,000,000 peaos. The bank had no government conces- sion and did not enjoy certain banking privileges accorded under the Mexican law, including the issuing of currency. It is reported that the bank recently borrowed 5.000,000 pesos from the Bank of Montreal and the National Bank of Mexico, which sum was loaned to local corporation.
 The corporation, it is declared, was unable to meet the obligation when it became due, and this fact is said to account for the action of the two banks in placing MT. Forsyth in charge.
 In statement given out tonight Mr. Forsyth declared that there was no occasion for alarm among depositors and voiced assurances that the bank will meet every demand made upon 1t.
