The search was proceeding when
The Star went to press, but shortly
afterwards the searchers came across
the missing boat with the two marines

They had poled the sampan out to sea.

of them, and they were soon lodged in

TIE BOOK OLE EsrnEn

Purim has developed into a festival
of many aspects in modern Jewish
life. 1t is the time when the rich re-
member the poor, when friends re-
member one another, when children
learn that religion has It's processiona al
and amusing aspects, and when the
position of Jews in the dispersion is
seen to be typifed in the Biblical mar.
rative
But perhaps the most characteris-
tic feature of the festival is the read
ing the Megillah both in the home
and in the synagogue service. The
narrative thus read or told is one of
the most striking and most effective
stories of the world, even regarded as
story. 1t records the ups and downs
of interesting persons.
1t, is well known that servant girls
are especially pleased to read the
dime novel, which tells of the rise in
fortune of one of their own class, who
marries a Marquis or a millionaire,
according to the locale of the story.
So, too. we all care to read of the rise
in fortunes of a deserving young man
who becomes the right hand of a great
merchant or a prince
A similar interest attaches to the
careers of Esther and Mordecai In
the narrative of the Megillah, of
which we can never get tired. The
book of Esther has of course another
interest for us. It records crisis in
the career of the Jewish people and
tells how this was averted by the
self-sacrifce of the Jewish maiden
raised to the dignity of queen and of
her relative who became vizier or its
equivalent.
Times have so far changed that

PLANTING IN
NEW ZEALAND.

NEW ZEALAND.
During a visit in New Zealand great
Improvement was noted in the ap-
pearance of large sections of barren
country, especially on the hill slopes
in the thermal district, In the center
of the North island, by the planting
of millions of larch trees, in close, ev-
en- rows, which have given the land
scape bright, verdant aspect, where
before was only monotonous scrub or
ash covered land, on which there was
no vegetation at ALL The specially in
teresting feature of this great work of
aforestation, which is steadily chang
ing the face of the country, and which
IN time will doubtless be a source of
large revenue to the state, is that it
is carried on mainly by prison labor
and by the labor of discharged pris-
oners. who are given employment and
new start in life at planting trees at
wage of SO per day.
'Ou IhS IlSS-plduIlHS camp IN
the famous Rotorua Hot Springs dis
trict, where most of the planting is
done on "pumice' land, under the
shadow of Mount Tarawera, a volca-
no whose eruption twenty-five years
ago devastated many miles of the sur
rounding country, which it covered
with scoriae and clayey kind of vol
canic ash. A great deal of this dis
trict was stripped of all vegetation by
erosion, caused by the sudden boiling
up and overflow of lakes in the dis
trict at the time of the eruption. None
of the native trees of New Zealand
will grow in this volcanic area, ana
while the valleys contain fine land
suitable for agricultural and pastoral
purposes, on the mountain slopes.
which presented a most forbidding ap-
pearance tc the eye, the land seemed
absolutely useless, until it was proved
that imported larch would grow we'll
here, give verdure to the district, pre-
ve/ erosion of hill slopes in times of
heavy rainfall, and become in time
valuable source of wood supply and of
profit to the New Zealand Govern
ment.
The trees are planted in rows four
feet apart, afterward to be thinned to
eight feet apart, and eventually, ac-
cording to their growth, to about six
teen feet apart At the end of forty
years it is expected that about $50
trees to the acre will remain.-Vice-
Consul Baker of Sydney, Australia.

"At each table the clerk and the

AS many members as can shoulder
their way in and grab their share of

RESTORE GEYsER
Once Spouted Water 250 Feet High.
 Near Round Knob, N. C.

The task of restoring a natural seyser. which formerly threw a column of water 250 feet into the air, in full view of pas Knob, N C., will be undertaken by George F. Baker, prominent financial operator of New York city From an nouncements made here yesterday, by au- thority of President w. w. Finley of the Southern railway the. geyser has ceased flowing and when MT, Baker passed the point he at once seized upon the plan Of paying tribute to Col. A. B. Andrews, Che veteran vice president of the South srn. by restoration of the geyser.
 President Finley. who is deeply inter- ested in the remarkable work, announces
 There seems to be some misapprehen- sioh as to the restoration of this geyser On trip which he made through west ern North Carolina several months ago, Mir. George F. Baker of New York noted that the geyser was no longer flowing Inquiries having satisfied him that it would be practicable to restore it, he ar ranged to have the work done entirely at his expense as a testimonial of his high appreciation of the great service rendered by his friend, Col. Alexander B. Andrews. of Raleigh, N. C., first vice president of the Southern Railway company, in the development of western North Carolina.
 ''The work of restoration is now under way and the new geyser will soon be in operation, throwing a column of water 25o feet in the air.''

MORE LICENSES
 BY EXCISE BOARD
Only Two More Club Petitions Re- main Before Them for
 Consideration

The excise commissioners have only two remaining social club licenses to deal with, those of the University club in Bir- mingham and the Roebuck Country club. The commission yesterday announced that the Moose club, the Lion club and the Beaver club had been passed upon favor ably and that certificates would be is- sued to those organizations to retail liouor under the social club regulations. In addition to the above certificate to be issued the commission granted a H. cense to the Isenberg Liquor company to operate here at wholesale.
 The commissioners did not make any encouragement, but it is surmised that tomorrow action will be taken as to the only two remaining social club certif- cates.
 1t is the conviction of the men in touch with the situation that the University club will be granted license to sell liquor to it's members. The Roebuck club license will also be granted, 1t is said. The Edgewood Country club, in Edge wood which will be operating within a few weeks, will make application soon for retail license.

children clinging to her skirts running from the opposite hillside in the direction of the Confederate lines.
 Captain Smith immediately ordered Ser geant Richard Runs to hasten to tke mother, who afterwards proved to be Mrs. Mary Curtis Burgess, take the baby from her arms and bring 1t in safety within the Confederate lines. The orderly met the mother and took the baby In charge Mrs. Burgess and the two chill dren reached the Confederate quarters in safety, but the firing was so heavy that Sergeant Runs, with the baby, was forced to seek shelter behind a large boulder in the creek below the mill until the enemy could be driven back. when he delivered the little girl into her soldiers. Mrs. Burgess and the children went 10 Petersburg.
 Captain Smiths next service to the mother and her children was when he was detailed part of the escort given her to the Confederate lines at the Curtis House, by Gen. Robert E. Lee. She was still on her way to her home in New York, where she would be among friends, and was snuggled through the union pickets by Gen. Robert A. Pryor who was scouting in the front at that time.
 Meets With Relative
 To continue the story, 47 years later, Captain Smith. according to his usual custom. journeyed to Buffalo Lithia Springs to spend a few weeks and while there entered into a conversation with w. w. Butterworth of Butterworth Va who mentioned the name of Dr. Thomas Jay Burgess of Petersburg, Va The name recalled the run made by the moth- and children during the battle and securing Dr. Burgess address he wrote to him to ascertain if he was the baby to whom he had extended protection. Dr. Burgess replied that he was not the baby, but that his aunt, Mary Burgess, of Lincoln, Neb, had often related the oc- currence to her relatives and frinends and that the baby was still alive and a prominent matron of Lincoln, Neb. pr. Burgess forwarded Captain Smiths com munication to Mrs Burgess and she re- piled, expressing her great pleasure to be able to thank again an unknown gentle man for his kindness to her and her family. who joined her in an invitation to visit them at their homes. Photoeraphs were exchanged. to show the changes wrought by the intervening years and several leltefS, commenting on the war and telling of Mrs. Burgess trip to New York after leaving Captain Smith have passed between them. Mrs. Burgess has written a book. with map of the battle field at Hatcher run supplemented, at the request of her children as a sketch of her life in connection with the events of the Civil war.
 Mrs. Burgess now makes her home with her daughters. who reside in Lincoln, Neh nA of her best friends and neighbors Cap tain smith is well known citizen of Birmingham and president of the John G. smith Real Estate and Insurance com pany.
 If the present plans mature Captain Smith and Mrs Burgess will again meet next year under the circumstances of peace and in her home. surrounded by her children and particularly the baby girl now grown up.

 the Frisco Will Be on Exhibition s' at the Terminal Station

A reception will be held at the Terminal station today at o'clock by one of the giant Mallet engines recently placed in service on this division by the Frisco management.

 T cannot recall any such receptions, ' said MT. Lightner, approaching in size of the crowds to the one at St. Louis held by the Mallet engines. The throngs almost blocked traffic for while.

M'LANE TILTON FOR WOODROW WILSON Predicts That He Will Be Next President
  PARTY SURE VICTOR Hilton Declines to Discuss Rumors That He May Be in the Race
 for Governor in
 1914.
 

McLane Tilton of Pell City, who, it is understood. is looking after the political interest of Woodrow Wilson in Alabama and otfer southern states, reached Bif- mingham yesterday with prediction that the governor of New Jersey Will be the next president of the United States.
 T have known Mr Wilson personally for long number of years said MT. Triton, and l believe that his great ability and worth are appreciated by the people of the country. Following a speech of Wilson's in Denver four years ago I wrote him that he would certainly be the next governor of New Jersey. When he was elected governor l wrote him that he would be the next President of the United States.
 "I believe that Wilson will land the delegations of practically every southern state with the exception of Alabama, which will probably instruct it's delega- ton for Underwood. Should A1abamians be permitted to express their choice in a primary, I feel sure that Wilson would make a very pretty race. There is no doubt but that he is popular with the peOple ol lDt Sldtts iliouSb iiot eN' fNFS lar of course, as MT. Underwood.
 When closely questioned MT. Triton ad- mitted that friends of his have spoken to him about making the race for the gubernatorial nomination in 1914. He did not state, however, that he would or would not run. AS is known, MT. Hilton is an influential banker, the editor of one of the best weekly papers in Ala bama, is practicing attorney, and has one of the largest acquaintances in the state
 At the present tine,' he said, T am thinking more of the election of MT. Wilson to the presidency than of any other political proposition of the present or future. I seriously believe that Mir Wilson is the man for the democrats to nominate. l do not believe that there is a question of the democrats not Win hing next year. The republicans are al- ready beaten unless the democrats, as General Grant said they would always do, make fools of themselves by not taking advantage of a wonderful oppor- tunity'

After lapse of 4 years and through a correspondence growing out of a re- mark made by a guest at the Buffalo Lithia Springs hotel at Meeklenburg, Va, last July, Capt. John G. Smith of this city has found the baby girl he protected from Confederate bullets in the battle of Bur
 gess mill near Petersburg, Va, in the person of Mrs. Fske of Lincoln, Neb. The acquaintance begun so long ago with the mother Mrs. Mary Curtis Burgess, and the little girl has been renewed with Uncle Sam's mail service aid, and Cap tain Smith has accepted an invitation to visit Lincoln and talk over the historic incident The wonder of it all is, that the principals of a war time instance of southern chivalry to a woman of union belief and a northern constituent should be alive and prospering today, and have crossed one anothers path for the first time recently after witnessing the recon struction period and many political
