CHAPTER VIII.
BoR REcoMEs Ross.

B0B BECOMES 6OSS 0OB'S affection for Remington pre- H cipitated the events that resulted
 in the subjugation of the city.
 Affection is accurate. Bob, once the cold. the loveless, now bestowed on the younger man liking none the less deep and intense for that it was quiet and undemonstrative. This liking was evidenced by the influence Bob ex- ercised upon Paul's career in the legis- lature- Not that any orders were giv- en; Bob merely by wise counsel guided his friends footsteps around the pitt falls set for the inexperienced legis- lator. So that, although he often stood almost alone, Remington was found fighting boldly on the honest side of every measure. His own consummate audacity and personal popularity se- cured for him . recognition rarely ac- corded a first term man. The uncom- promising stand was possible to him as to few others, since with Bob's tn- dorsement his reelection was deemed assured and he had no need to placate powerful interests.
 Bob's influence may not seem so un- accountable when it is understood that it was dictated only by shrewd. far seeing policy. Bob knew that he who enters fhe political race must run as lightly ::s possible and that even at that time support of dishonest meas ur.s was apt to prove handicap to the swiftest runner, especially if the goal were. as in Paul's case, advance ment in office.
 Never mind what they say, stick it out" he explained to Remington one day after the latter had returned from a dinner with a notorious lobbyist. ''The railroad and the steel people ever since the war have beefi footing this state through us politicians. So far the people have stood for it, but there's bound to be a change. The people swing from one extreme to the other. There are forces at work in the state now" He had Dunmeade and Mur- x chell in mind. "There'll be an earth quake hereabouts some day soon, and when it's over there'll be good many political corpses scattered around. I don't suppose you're anxious to accom- piish a premature demise. And, be- sides. in tight place the kicker can always get more than the fellow who goes along"
 Remington laughed. Then you're dlscarding the meat ax for the rapier, ehY'
 As fn< himself, Bob had no regrets for hrs 7sasJ disreputable practices, deem ing them to have been necessary to Dis financial equipment. Now, how ever. he decided that bis equipment was sufficient to his needs. and the old contracting firm was dissolved. Also the Steel City was treated to the strange spectacle of the tough" coun- cilmen consistently voting against graft measures. Bob was not turning re- former by any means. On the contra ry. his plans for the future involved the use of some very questionable means, but he was unburdening him.

 ably, too, as a bit of education. The bill caused a few men to think, to open their eyes. Your speech helped in that It was personal triumph. Run in to Kathleen; she'll make Hero of you. I have some papers to- read"
 Bob laughed cynically. Yet his eyes, following the handsome figure of Rem- ington as the latter, went out of the room, softened almost to tenderness.

THE BACHELOR GIRL

From the Boston Globe.
 New York-"There aren't any more old maids" That statement was made in the dulcet tones of Mrs. Mildred Manley East on, founder and president of the Life as a Fine Art club. An old maid,' she defined, Ifs a woman who is everywhere preceded and followed by the comment, she couldn't get married By her un- attractive appearance, by her grabbed, unlovely disposition, by her self-conscious avoidance or foolish seeking. of male so- ciety, she is trademarked as a failure in the solitary effort of her life, the attempt to win a husband
 This type of woman is practically ex- tinct today. Perhaps there are few of her left in the little country towns. But in our strenuous city life there is no room for her, or ather, there is all the room for her, or rather there is all the very different. And she's done it.
 'She is one of the finest, strongest, sweetest types in the world She is cul- witty without being romantic. She is witty without being cynical. She is toler- ant without lowering her ideals. She is generous, energetic, lf-sacrificing, with a host of real friends, men and women. That's the modern unmarried woman after the age of 30.''

Oppressive Taxation

The new revenue bill, now pending De- fore the house ways and means com- mittee of the Alabama legislature, seeks to increase the revenue of the state. This is all very well, but the question arises, is not the revenue law overshoot- ing the mark? Will it not put into the treasury money that will be expended ex- travagantly? A moderate increase in connection with the growth of the state would suffice, but the ways and means committee hands us instead plan that would fill the treasury in a single year. A moderate plan covering four years is needed rather than a measure that would overcome the deficit in single year at the expense and inconvenience of many people This bill bears heavily upon the corporations and the general effect of it's passage would be to drive away capital.
 It may be necessary to double the mort gage tax, which Is very low, but 1t cer- tainly Is not necessary to tax an account considered solvent now but which may become the reverse In a months time. Nor should 1t provide that no merchant can insure for an amount greater than that upon which he pays taxes. Insur- ance is private matter while tax-paying is public duty. There is no occasion for mixing or associating the two. Let every merchant be left free to secure whatever insurance he considers desir- able while he returns his property at fair value. If the tax officers will do their duty there will be no need of a provision that unduly interiors with merchants right to conduct a private business in his own way Stocks vary in size, and so must insurance
 The new revenue bill should be studied In every part of the state, and senators and representatives should be put In way to know how the merchants feel about some of its provisions. More rev. enue is needed, but surely 1t can be had without embarrassing the merchant who may have 100 bales of cotton on hand to- day and none tomorrow.

LEGEND OF CREATION

Moses Friday (Arapaho), in the Red Man. l Among the traditions handed down from generation to generation is the creation of l the world. I will try to give an account of what has been told by the old people of my tribe
 At one time this earth of ours was un- inhabited and covered with water to an unknown depth Upon the surface of this vast ocean foated a pipe, which l served as a sort of boat for the Great Spirit.
 He had in his possession duck, beaver and a turtle, which were his only con- panions. The Great Spirit knew there was clay at the bottom of this vast sea, whose depth was beyond the imag- ination.
 He asked the turtle to dive down to the bottom of the sea and bring him some clay The turtle did as he was directed, and at a certain length of time reap peared upon the surface without any clay, for he was unable to reach the bot tom. The beaver was the next to go down with a determination to succeed, only to come up to the surface empty handed as the turtle. When the ducks turn came 1t stayed at the bottom long CT than the others. It appeared upon the surface with small amount of clay in its mouth. The Great Spirit took the clay and threw 1t in different directions. A vast area of dry land was formed.
 He next created the sun and the moon, which gave light to the world. A man and woman were next created, from which all the Indians are descended. He gave the sacred pipe to the man and in structed him concerning its care, until the end of the world.
 The pipe is made of wood but 1t Is so hard and solid that many think 1t is made Of stone. It is held sacred by the Arapa- hoes to this day, and they claim that if the laws concerning it's care are violated, it will bring a destructive flood to the people on earth. They consider them- selves Gods chosen people, and they claim the Indians and white people were created separately.

Extra Session May Be Long

Should an extra session of Congress be called it would undoubtedly be summoned soon after March 4-possibly within | single week afterwards and when once
 convened it's duration would not be lim- ited by anything except the regular ses- sion which meets mDecember Whatever is left unfinished in the extra could be completed in the regular session, for both would be. parts of the Sixty-second Congress.
 In case an extra session be called the democrats would simply take off their coats and go to work to begin the en- actment of measures, designed to place
 themselves onsrecord and to lay founda- tion for the next national campaign. Ev- erything they did would in fact be part of that campaign. Every man in Ala bama is confident that Oscar Underwood in the high place assigned him will make
 no mistakes, and the friends of the speak
 er-designate are equally confident The republicans are accustomed to pre- dict that all the ammunition they need will be supplied in democratic mistakes,
 but they may this time be reckoning amss. The democratic party was never
 more compact or united or better led,
 while the republican party Is faction-torn in every contested state.
 Let the extra session come. The demo- crats are ready to grasp it's opportuni- ties, and the republicans would come out of 1t more distracted and divided than
 they are at present, and that is saying good deal. The republican leaders, even in the Senate may regain their political
 sense, however, and pass before March the reciprocity agreement. This is possi- bie, but it is not exceedingly probable.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1911-02-15
Strange Bedfellows in Washington

Mir. Taft, who is the official head of the republican party, and MT. Champ Clark, who is the leader-elect of the democratic party this year, stood together in Wash ington before one audience on one plat form, and both advocated reciprocity, not only with Canada but with all South and Central American republics All this oc- cured at Washington at the opening of the Pan-American commercial confer epce.
 In view of the fact that MT Cannon and the standpatters in the House had just voted against Canadian reciprocity H must be held that MT. Taft had come over to the democratic or the near-dem- ccratic party, for surely MT. Clark had not gone over to the old guard.
 9The policy early defined by MT. Clark and MT. Underwood touching Canadian reciprocity stands fully approved Prac- tically all democrats are lined up now in favor of Canadian reciprocity. leaving the old guard, led by MT. Cannon and MT. Dalzell, to fight it. In the Senate the Lodges and the Aldriches and Primroses may smother it, butlit will come out oi any such struggle stronger than ever in all extra session.
 The democrats are making votes daily by standing up for reciprocity on all occasions. They are fighting the old bat tls in % doing-the battle for lower duties

 Uncle Ell kept a crab and oyster em- porium in the village of Doerun. He was rich, according to Doerun standards, and the village gossps said that his wife. a young and pretty woman, had married him for his money.
 "A friend, dropping in for cold boiled crab one morning, noticed that Uncle Eli looked woebegone.

 'Wus'n rheumatiz,' said Uncle Ell, shortly. It's my wife. She's been kissin young Lawyer shyster. what takes his meals here with me-

IBsEN's HOUSE

From the London Globe.
 In the little town of Grimstad, on the southern coast of Norway, is to be seen an ancient, dilapidated, and empty house, modest in the extreme even in its days of prosperity. It is only of one story, and was formerly a chemists shop. The present proprietor is thinking of either selling the old place or rebuilding it. The alternative would be almost sacrilege, for it was in this modest structure that h. sen served his apprenticeship and after ward carried on business as chemist He passed his time here during the agi- tated period of 1S4S, and the time or the first war between Prussia and Denmark There he composed his poem dedicated ITO Hungary" In his leisure at night he wrote "Catilina".
 Against the alternative proposal of the destruction of Ibsen's house at Grimstad M Georges Brandes enters a spirited protest and appeals to the storthing to buy the house and preserve 1t as a na- tional memorial. within the walls,' writes M. Brandes, "Ibsen perceived the resplondent frame before him, both in poesy and glory. There he took the de- cision to abandon compromising juleps and creates to dedicate himself to art Grimstad, when Ibsen dwelled in it's midst, possessed but 800 inhabitants, and the little structure, which It is hoped will be preserved, was the bourse of the town. The people gathered there to transact their business and discuss passing events. The souvenirs of Ibsen are rare in Nor way-let us preserve the house."

HOW TO WRITE A NOVEL

From the Washington Herald.
 w. J. Locke, the English novelist, who is visiting this country and recently seen at the Shoreham, said when intend- ing to write a novel you must first get an idea.
 Its hard to define just how an author does start out," said the English writer. First you get an idea of the story. And then your man begins You think about him more and more. and finally he re- solves into a human being. You know about what you want him to do, and then you begin to get other people for him. These, too, must be worked out in character, and, finally, when you think you have 1t all ready-well, you trust in God, and go ahead.
 "Of course, there is a good deal that 'evolutes,' and there are extensions, but do not think there are many radical changes. An author, as I have found him, usually knows what he wishes to do. I generally have my book well plot ted before I begin.
 q consider 300 words a good hours work Of course, a man must choose and Lick his words, even in the first drafts. I usually work from four to six hours a day, splitting this into periods of two hours each. Yes; find it better to work every day at certain times than to wait for inspirations.'

Three Commissioners Sufficient

If Birmingham Is to have a commission . form of government three commissioners including the mayor, will be sufficient Three capable men. paid for their ful time. would certainly be able to ad- minister the affairs of this municipality.
 If there were a commission of five, as some citizens now urge, the cost to the city would be increased and the results would not be as satisfactory as if only three well-paid commissioners were re- sponsible to the people. And 1t stands to reason that the fewer the number of com rnissioners the greater the honor, and the greater the homer the easier it would be to induce high-class men to become can didates.
 The city of Washington, which includes the entire District of Columbia, is ad- ministered by commission of three, and has been for many years. Washington's population is s31 ,O6s, and 1t is known far and wide as the best governed city in this country.
 It is hoped, therefore that if a Birming- ham commission bill passes the number of commissioners proposed by MT. Percy will not be increased.
