Limestone Mans Impressions

This is a great state fair-far ahead of last years fair, and last years was excellent" said A. J. Eaton, a we'll known and prosperous farmer of Lime stone county. The agricultural display is indeed splendid. It surpasses any thing I had. expected in the way of an exhibition of crops.
 T have been greatly interested in looking at the live stock The hogs are remarkably fine. Yes. the fair this year is the best and it is a high credit to Birmingham and the people of Ala bama."
 Mir. Eaton said that crops in his neighborhood-Bell Nina, about 10 miles from Athens-were very good.
 While we haven't bumper cotton crop it is up to normal" said Mir. Eaton The caterpillars did not do much dam- age. The only thing I do not like about the situation is the low price of cot ton, but I am expecting better prices later on. I do not plant much cot ton, but even my crop if sold at to- days prices would not bring as much by 5000 as I got for about the same number of bales a year ago. We have made large corn and hay crops in Lime stone. The hay crop has been rec ord breaker"

SHOW GIRLS vs. CHORUS GIRLS

From the New York Herald.
 The terms show girl and chorus girl are used indiscrimnately and inter- changeably, and the general public has not learned to distinguish between the two. Yet they are unlike in nearly every important particular.
 The chorus girl is a hard working per- son of indeterminate age, who is some times pretty, nearly always cheerful and, generally speaking, underpaid, as most cheerful people are. The show girl is con additionally averse to hard work, and her face In It's moments of repose is sul- len. These moments of repose consume most of the "A hours of the day. The chorus girl owes her success to her sing ing and dancing. The show girl would loscI caste were she to do either, She moves with bovine sowness and is sad Gest when the exigencies of her calling compel her to initiate the facial move ments of a singer. There is one art in which the show girl excels, and that is in the wearing of clothes on and off the stage. Her capacity for eating and drink ing is also better than that of the chorus girl, and she has more frequent oppor- tunites for testing it.
 The chorus girl antedates the Norman conquest, and is immortal The show girl is a modern creation, and 1t is just possible that the close of the present decade will know her no more

HOLDS QUEER RECORD
From the San Francisco Chronicle.


 After walking 2O3,67O miles through snowsheds for the Southern Pacific com pany. battling with tramps and endur- ing all sorts of hardships, Manuel K. Silva, a Portuguese, decided last month that he'd like to visit his wife.
 "Ive never seen her and we've been married about 15 years now he told the
 officials in applying for leave ot ab- sence. His application was granted, and yesterday he was placed on the pension
 list. The railroad looked up his record
 and found that it is one probably without
 parallel in railload history
 Silva entered the employ of the South ern Pacific in 1879 as a section laborer, A year later he was appointed watchman on the night shift in the snowsheds at the summit of the Sierra Nevada noun tains. For 30 years he has held that po-
 sition, working faithfully and steadily and being absent from duty only twice, ana then because of Illness. For 31 years he walked IS miles day, making three round trips every night over beat or three miles. And this aggregates 6oIo miles a year or 203,670 miles In 3l years more than eight times around the world. Not since he began work has there been complaint registered against him. Fir | teen years ago he married the sweet | heart of his youth by proxy-under what | is known as contract marriage. He' inc groom, was in America, the bride in Portugal and on their wedding night
 he walked his solitary beat through the ! mountain darkness as usual.

WOMEN HARD LOSERS

New York Correspondent Cincinnati
 Times-Star
 It was after dinner. Half a dozen la dies sat with the men in the smoking room of an uptown mansion, listening to the latter talk market conditions. Usually the ladies bridge or gossip or both but this had been an unusual dinner. Two or three of the big men of the market had dissected financial conditions. 'I think that such and such a stock is purchase,' said one of the men. puffing at his cigar. "I know the actual book value of that stock is double its present quotation." 4FH
 Four of the women present at once besougft' Him to buy them some of that stock Each woman was more than well to do. Each could have bought stock in thousand share lots, but the man they talked to would not book such orders He agred to buy this woman ten shares and that twenty and that five shares Tor would he accept an order for more Next day friend demonstrated with him. You're a broker" said the friend Those women have plenty of money Why didn't you Duy tiein all the StOck tley wanted!
 Because I'm an old broker' said the optimist of the night before. "One of the first things I learned is not to buy more stock for any woman than l am willing to take back at cost price the moment the market sags. Women are dear erea- lures. I love 'em, individually or In car lots. But they are hard losers to the point of screaming anguish. And I'd rather take a cub from mother tiger than lose dollar for a woman friend"

Henry Norman; "The Real Japan
 Japan has been called the Third King dom of Merry Dreams. Amusement is universal here, and so far from 1t being true that Laughter is mans property alone" everybody laughs-eXcept the solemn policeman-men, women and chill dreu, even the very dogs have a twinkle
 in their eyes as they stretch themselves out over the middle of the streets, and seem to smile as the cooles pulling Jinrikshas run round them. For man would no more think of running over a dogs tail, if the dog did not move, than he would think of pinching his grand- father, and I have been almost jer<ed cut of my jinriksha by the sudden twist my men have made round the long tail which some lazy eur had stretch across the street. l saw a schoolboy steal up tehind another schoolboy and hit him a tremendous whack over the head with heavy roll of paper he was carrying Did the first one angrily threaten or at tempt to punch his head?" Not a bit He turned around and they both laughed heartily. Many time my heart has been in my mouth as my two coolies have plunged headlong into a crowd intent on some street performance, and it seemed impossible to avoid knocking down men and women and running over little chill dren. But no, the coolies raise a great shout shove half the people one way and half the other, and as the spol1es of the wheels graze their ships and almost take the topknots off the little people, do they turn and hurl curses after us, as a crowd responds to such treatment any where else? Not they-they just burst out laughing

Republican Campaign Funds

The late Cornelius N. Bliss, treas urer of the republican national com mittee in several campaigns, notably those conducted by Mark Hanna, probably carried to his grave more deep and important secrets concern ing the republic than any other man has or can. MT. Bliss was sue cessful merchant of high standing. He, however, believed that campaigns should be thoroughly financed. That was his speciality.
 Could the entire subscription lists of the Mark Hanna campaigns be published in full, showing amounts contributed and the source from which they came, this country would be shocked as it never has been in the past. The story of special pro tective duties would be told in the figures, and the reason why the Sher- man antitrust law was permitted to sleep ten years would also be ex- plained.
 The dead treasurer knew all these things, and he died with the story un- told. The evidence of those campaign funds has no doubt been destroyed, and the world will never know the

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
Popular in the East

| While oscar ". Underwood has been
 popular in the Birmingham district
 ever since he entered Congress- the people here do not realize, perhaps, how highly he is regarded in the east
 as presidential timber" said Joseph c. Manning, republican of this city, who
 lectures and writes on sociological questions, and who is in demand as lecturer in Boston and other large centers of culture.
 With MT. Underwood it Is not a case of not without honor save in his own country. for he is appreciated at home. but there is more hurrah over him in the east than there has been here. One explanation of it is that Mir Underwood has been known and respected so long here. and he has risen to his present high position, that Of chairman of the ways and mean com- mittee. so quietly that we have taken his greatness somewhat as a matter of course. Now. while I am repub- lican, 1t does me good to see man from the south, and especially a man from my home town, in the spotlight as q national favorite
 When 1 was in Boston this summer Governor Harmon was there and ad- dressed a vast throng at Fanieul hall. Notwithstanding the fact that 1t was d democratic, and not a republican, rally I attended. It was one of the greatest crowds I ever saw. Governor Harmon made good speech and was enthusiastically received. but the climax
 a.a a1n quent speech made by an Irishman from Rhode Island. I do not recall the ora tors name, but he was an exception ally brilliant talker In speaking of the solidarity of the democratic party today as compared with some other years he gave the credit for this party harmony to the democratic leader in the House of Representatives Before calling Cnderwoods name he led up To him with rare descriptive elo- quence. When he pronounced the name Oscar w. Underwood-the crowd all most raised the roof with its thunder ous applause. l have seen many po- litical gatherings. but seldom have l seen one in which the name of any single man provoked such spontaneous cheering. l was impressed with the fact that Underwood was not only known and appreciated far away from Alabama, but that he was national hero of the first rank
 "In Boston l had the honor of ad- dressing the Twentieth Century club and other distinguished bodbes com posed of inteIlectual people, and at the various clubs in New England l heard Underwood discussed seriously and in a most friendly way by republicans as well as democrats. I believe that MT. Underwood's chances for receiving the democratic nomination are good. l am not one of those who think his name before the convention will result in merely a complimentary vote as fla vorite son. It would not surprise me al all if he were made the standard bearer of the democratic party"

Germany Supports Dr. Wiley

pCi hdiiy CuppOTlS UT. whey
 The Remsen referee board got a blow in the neck, and the arm that delivered it was an official one from Germany. Official reports from Ger many rank high. German thorough ness and German science are rarely questioned, and decision from the German health bureau has been re- ceived. It reviews Dr. Wiley's ex- periments and findings, and it unre- servedly condemns the findings of the Remsen board when the latter says benzoate of soda and benzoic acid are not harmful in food articles.
 The agricultural department and its political chief should study the German report and inwardly digest it. The Taft administration will do well to study it, for a minor issue next year will be the manner in which the pure food law has been applied regardless of the stomachs of the rank and file to the great profit and advantage of dishonest concerns and other manufacturers.
 The German report should be print ed when Congress meets and scat tered broadcast over this country. Give both Secretary Wilson and his Remsen board something to consider. Let the rank and file see what these highbrows think of them.
