LONG CONVERSATION
 WITH THE GOVERNOR

About ten days after Emmet ONeai had been in possession of the testimony taken by his legal adviser and the at- torney general of Alabama, I was with him in his room at the Exchange hotel in the city of Montgomery and then and there had a conversation with him which lasted for about one and one-half hours. During this conversation he bitterly eom- plained of the letter which the Hon. Leon McCord had some days before given to the public press. and stated to me then and there that MT McCord, MT. Oakley and myself should be glad that the inves- tigation had occurred. as the testimony had exonorated each of us.
 ''In the same conversation he stated to me that in the future if at any time any one should speak in any way detrimental to or derogatory of me he would certain ly send for me and hear my version. At the very time he made this promise to me he knew that a Louisville and Nashville railroad train was transporting to the city of Birmingham one II. Y. Brooke, man tried, convicted and sentenced by an Ala bama court to a term of imprisonment for islander and libel, and Emmet ONeal knew at the time he made the above false statement to me that MT Brooke. who Is one of Emmet O'Nears public examiners, had and held in his possession lot or typewriter questions prepared by Emmet O'Neal and directed to Mir A.

 Some time in May, 1911, T appointed MT. A. A.

 Leaving his office, I prepared sim liar contract to the one he had with his assistant, and MT.

Suose- quent to this time I was called out or town on business, and in the very na- ture of things, it became necessary 10 have money to pay office force, which Mir Gambill as my assistant, secured from a bank in this city. When I re- turned home the bank called me up and stated that it had let Mr. Gambill have this money and wanted to know if it was all right stated that 1t was all right, and then the bank-for It's own pro- tectlon-wanted some authority from me to Mir. Gambll to borrow money, and thereupon, the power of attorney as here tofore published was drawn up and given MT. Gambill.

transferred to a fable with a deeper significance. French scientist has advanced the theory that the reputed benefits of a change of air are for the most part imaginary. and the real benefit comes from meeting new people and having new surroundings.
 If man is the only animal that smiles then we ought to go further and sug- gest that woman is the only animal that never rests.
 It is not work that wears people out, but the unconsidered waste of their vitality.
 The average daughter of Eden in- herits an imaginary bugbear from some far distant old ancestress, which prob ably accounts for the fact that she never rests. She Is as afraid of loneliness as the average small boy is of the dark. | Let's be honest for once-isn't 1t the case that few of us know what we
