How Choate Reads His Mail,

Joseph H. Choate, formerly ambas-
sador to the Court of st. James, is
one of the eminent Americans who do
not believe in the maxim "Procrasti-
nation is the thief of time" Ere
quently when Mr. Choate is absent
from New York his mail accumulates
at his office 1t is seldom forwarded
to him On his return the letters
piled up before him are opened, while
Mr. Choate, sitting in a comfortable
arm chair with a capacious waste
basket between his knees, reads the
letters as they are handed to him.
Some of them are weeks old. Some
of them he destroys with the com
ment. Time has answered that" and
so on through the great mass of mail.
Mr. Choate constantly repeats this
phrase. Time has answered that"
Only the most important letters re-
ceive an answer from Mr.. Choate.

Football as a fatal amusement falls
into insignificance compared with AL
pine climbing. The Austrian and
German Alpine clubs have just pub
lished statistics showing that between
1901 and 1910 inclusive $50 Alpineists
lost their lives in the central Alps of
Europe, an average of nearly 100 a
year. In 1909 there were 144 climbers
killed and in 1910, 100, not including
% persons who met their death while
picking edelweiss. Of this total of 1913
fatalities, AZ were Germans, "a Aus
trians, 19 Swiss and English. Eight
were guides. The largest number of
fatal accidents in the Alps took place
in the month of August. 1t is esti-
mated that the army of Alpinists now
numbers 100000.

wears a spade beard, like that Of the
late King Leopold Of Belgium. The

he is a man in his sixties. He has an

WAY TO SUCCESS.

The man who undertakes to accom-
plish too many things at the same
time generally pays high toll in the
end. He may succeed for while, but
he does so at fearful risks and with
out properly reckoning the cost to
himself He is the exception, though,
rather than the rule and often makes
good" at the expense of his physical
and mental we'll being, says the
Charleston News and Courier. Giants
among men are rarities even in this
day of surprising developments and
record achievements, and as rule
the man who follows one line of work
with close attention and conscientious
regard will lay by for himself greater
success and more enduring results
than he who dabbles in any undertak-
ing that may come his way. 1t is not
an easy thing to shut ourselves away
from tempting influences and condi-
tions that may appeal to us, but hav-
ing once fitted ourselves to do GER
tain work, and having expended time
and energy in its accomplishment, it
it only natural to suppose that we can
obtain more certain results by deVel-
oping it to the best of our ability.
Sometimes the way is hard; long
hours of application are necessary,
but often when we least expect it the
clouds begin to lift and we see the
realization of the promises for which
we have labored.

GOODWIN FAVORS
 CONVENTION PLAN
For Instruction of Presiden- tial Delegates At Next
 National Convention

Montgomery, December S.-(Special.)- merry political situation has been brought about in Alabama during the past few days by announcement of Tyler Goodwin, chairman of the state demo cratic executive committee, that he ia vored the convention plan for the in struction of presidential delegates at th, next national convention. The statemen of the chairman. was in the face of the apparent majority wishes of the statf that the delegates be instructed by prl- mary as to how to cast their ballots, and as a consequence, much interest is mani fested as to how the majority of the committee might vote.
 It is believed that tacit agreement las been reached for the committeeman to call for convention to settle the mat ter, but friends of the primary movement are working consistently to overthrow this majority, and to leave the question altogether in the hands of the people.
 Mir. Goodwin gives as his main reason for supporting the convention plan that the state is already committed to Oscar Underwood, and that no second choice should be permitted. The state however seems to prefer saying whether this sec ond choice, if necessary. shall be Will son or Harmon or Clark It is thought certain that primary would name Will son second and convention delegation Harmon as second choice.
 The committee will meet in Birmng- ham on Wednesday,

ROBSON FOR UNDERWOOD;
 HAS NO SECOND CHOICE

Cullman, December 1s.-(special)- The present session of the United States Congress is being watched with considerable interest by many of the prominent men and politicians of Gull man and this section of the state. One of the main reasons for the close watch now being kept is because of the prominence that has been given Hon. oscar w. Underwood for the nomina- tion for the presidency of the United States.
 Joseph R. Rosson, editor of the Gull ,nan Democrat. and who is also a mem oer of the state democratic executive committed, in speaking of Mr. Under wood, said:
 Ut is my opinion that the democrats are not going to make any mistakes Ut the present session of Congress. MT. Underwood has displayed his ability as leader and is far seeing. The success of the democratic party in the coming campaign hinges on the action of the democrats in this session, and MT. Un- derwood is fully aware of this fact, and with his marvellous ability as a leader, there is not the least reason to suppose anything else but that the democrats will hold their own at this session" 4
 Continuing, Mir Rosson said: MT. Ur arwood is the greatest man, in my opinion, the south has ever produced, in fact, there has been very few men in the history of the country who were better fitted as a statesman and q leader than the distinguished Ala baman. The people of all sections of the country are demanding change from the present conditions. The pres ent high cost of living, the tariff and many other matters are all important questions and are consuming the atten- ton of the observing public, and the people are demanding a change from conditions brought on by the republican party. Success is certain for the demo- crats next year, and if MT. Underwood is given the nomination for president, there is not the least doubt but that he will lead the party to success"
 Mir Rosson says: "The Alabama dele gation should go to the convention instructor for Underwood first, last and all the time without second choice. As for me, I have no second choice in the matter I am for Underwood and no one else will do as well. and the delegation should go thus instructed"
 MT. Rosson will attend the meeting of the executive committee to be held
