LIsETTE. Chanson a la Francaise. Lisette, at times your roguish eye My silver locks, I note, survey Tn half surprise: and, by the by see I'm growing very grey. Well. sweet Lsette. in loving you My heart goes back to twenty-two. For four and forty years, dear, learn, I've trod life's footpath, day by day; But love permits me to return And meet my sweet Lisette halfway; For her It's springtime to renew, My heart goes back to twenty-two. And, by and by, when on my bier An immortelle you come to lay, Bedew the garland with a tear And OCT your sleeping lover say, His locks were silvery grey, 'tis true His heart was only twenty-two.'

Finds Great Underwood Enthusiasm

'The Florida tourist business was very large this season-larger than usual, prob- ably said Robert c. Jelks, who spent the winter at Leesburg.
 T found the people of Florida enthusi- astic over Underwoods chances for the presidency, and the northern people l met were equally as pronounced in their Underwood sentiment. If any man doubt ed oscar Underwood's strength as a presidential candidate all he had to do to be convinced that our Alabama statesman was recognized as a great big national figure. was to mingle with people from various sections of the country. The northern people have been watching Un- derwood's career very closely and they do not hesitate to say that he is the log ical candidate to head the democratic ticket"

"The New York Herald of last Sun day week contained an interesting in- terview with John P. Branch, the wealthy Richmond banker. illustrated by a full length picture" said a mem- Der of Birmingham's Virginia colony. Although MT. Branch IS S2 years of age. he Is still in the money making business. He Is the son of the late Thomas Branch, who was a prominent banker in his day. served four years in the Confederate army; is one of the most active laymen in the M. E. church. south. and is now probably the richest individual south of the Potomac. His wealth is variously estimated at from S7O00, 900 to s10,000,00o. The subject of the interview which the Herald printed was MT. Branch's record as constant reader The Richmond banker says that he has been practically a daily reader of the New York Herald for 60 years. During the var the Herald could not cross the Potomac as regu- larly as it does now, but the Confed- crate soldiers managed to get bundles of copies every few days and catch up on the news. The Herald says 1t may have older readers than MT. Branch, but that it doubts if anyone has been such a constant reader for 50 years as the noted Richmonder.
 Here in Birmingham are many cit izens who have been reading The Age Herald daily for many years, but as far as I can learn Judge John H. Mil- Ter has been a constant subscriber un- der its various titles and arrangements for nearly 80 years"

lRr AIaska Nexs BureAu.l

NEW YORK. March 29--The q'aes- tlou of whether Norway owns the ter fstory surrounding the South Pole. which has just been discovered by Capt Amundsen. already s being discussed by authorities on iniernat. ionaI law covering the ownership of Arctic and Antarctic lands.
 Ever since i77s, when Capt. Cook planted a flag in the Antarctic. ex- pIorers of various nations have car ried their flags to various parts ap- preaching the South pole. It Is gen eraIIy believed the land in the Ant arctEc will be regarded In the same way as Spstzbergen archipelago, which ia inhabited by men of various ns- tons. and Is now regarded as a joint possession of all mankind.
 John Bassett Moore, professor of international law at Columbia Uniyef. sIty. points out that leading authori- les have taken the position that dis coyery alone does not suffice to give good title to new uDoccupied land. and that the custom Of the nations for centuries has erystalIlzed into s part of the Law Of nations that in order to perfect the right given by discovery 1t must be followed by gen erai occupation.
 Prof. Moore says that the task Of occupying territory surrounding the South pole undoubtedly vii prove more difficult than it's discovery. and that t was extremely unlikely that the question of ownership would ever be brought up to the joint commis- sion Of arbitration for settlement
