The Farm Movement

Jefferson county has more than double the number of truck farmers than it had four years ago, but there is room for thousands where we now have about 200.
 The Birmingham Chamber of Com merce started a farm movement two years ago and substantial results were obtained. The trucking advantages of the Birmingham district were wide ly advertised and it is believed that many homeseekers from the north who have settled on small farms in Jefferson county came as a result of the work done by the committee. That work should not be allowed to flag. It should be pushed more systemati- cally and more persistently than ever. Patience is required, of course; but every truck farmer who comes here from the north and prospers will in- duce friends he left behind to follow his example.
 Had the Chamber of Commerce committee been instrumental in bring ing only 25 families to this county the first year it would have been worth while; but it did better than that. With continued activity the committee should be able within five years to increase the number to thousands.
 Birmingham is already great mar ket for everything that the small farmer produces and it will be far better market in the future. The time should come when the bulk of vegetables and poultry consumed here will be grown within radius of 50 miles of Birmingham. Today most of the winter vegetables and poultry handled in this market are shipped from outside of Alabama.

IN HOTEL LOBBIEs
President T'aft's Defeat

T think nearly everybody who took a disinterested view of the political situa- ton thought that Wilson would be elect ed, but 1t seemed hardly conceivable that the regular republican party would make such a poor showing at the polls as 1t dld.y said c. T. Arnold of Chicago.
 T am an independent in politics. voted for MT. Taft four years ago. and I had intended voting for Roosevelt last Tuesday, but had to be away from home, so did not vote at all. In 1892 I voted for Cleveland and in 1888 voted for liar rison.
 If the republicans had done the wise thing they would have nominated Roose- welt in June. But the very fact that the republican party split assured Wilson s election, and many floaters and citizens who were in doubt as to which ticket to support floclxed to the winning standard. I believe that if Roosevelt had been the regular republican nominee he would have swept the country.
 MT. Taft's position today is pathetic. His ridiculously small electoral vote can not be other than mortifying to the gen. tleman who received such large vote four years ago. Although I was Roose- welt partisan, think MT. Wilson will make an excellent President. The great prosperity which we are now enjoying will not be retarded to any appreciable extent"

WHAT THE MOTOR CYCLE DOES

Henry Worden in Leslie's
 As an example of what the motor cycle can do, Milwaukee incident Is quoted. Recently there was trouble on a II mile circuit of the citys fire and police alarm system. Two trouble shoot CTS" were started out on the same day on opposite sides of the circuit-one with horse and the other with a motorcycle. When they met at the place on the circuit where it had been crossed by a wire of higher potential, the horse and wagon had covered but one-fourth the distance while the motorcycle had gone the other three-fourths
 On the farm motorcycles do errands and take hurry up trips to town. The modern farmer Is a different citizen from the farmer of other days He has his power machinery, telephone, electric lights and the rural free delivery naturally he is also adopting the motorcycle It is entire ly practicable to carry as high as 200 pounds of goods on one of these machines. The work that it can do is practically un- limited,

PASSING OF SUNDAY SUPPER


 Time was when the Sunday night sup per was of even more vital importance than the midday dinner, especially in those towns and villages where strict religious principles prohibited cooking on the Sabbath.
 It was not considered wrong to mix pan of biscuits the night before and bake them for supper. so that these hot, puffy features of the meal, with honey or some of mothers quince preserves or canned cherries were looked forward to with joyous anticipation.
 As time passed. the stringent line re- faxed as far as cooking for supper was concerned, and. in addition to cold salads, there would always be some hot dish. such as the real old-fashioned hash or scrambled eggs. with creamed potatoes. City life has changed ali this. Even the suburbanite who apes city ways has the mahogany table cleared, the doilies used in place of the regulation dinner cloth, and the chafing dish placed in front of the hostess. the ingredients at hand, and the lamp trimmed and burn ing From this she turns out creamed chicken and ham, deviled sardines, nut ton ragout and other ''messes"-her grandmother would call them, as she waxes reminiscent on the honey and hot biscuit era

From the Bool1man
 Probably no written portrait of the third Napoleon Is better known to Americans than that embodied in the rhetorical apostrophe of Mark Twain in "rhe Innocents Abroad" where he con- trasts the Emperor of the French and the Sultan of Turkey at their meeting in Paris in 1867. It was thought very fine and stirring at the time, but it is a picture to provoke curiosity and amusement today. Mark Twain de- scribed how the future emperor carried his dreams with him into exile; how he associated with the common herd in America, and ran foot races for a wager; how he walked his weary beat a common policeman of London. That his belief in his star never wavered, Is unquestionably true
 But it is not quite so romantic 9 figure not such a dilapidated a Louis Napoleon, that we see in the accounts of more careful historians than Mark Twain, For example, there is Intimate Meaoirs of Napoleon IT." by the late Baron d'Ambes, which has just come from the press of Messrs. Little, Brown & Co. D'Ambes was not with Louis Napoleon in America, but it was from the princess own lips that he claimed he received the impressions of that visit. Lcuis Napoleon came to Norfolk, Va, from Rio de Janeiro on the frigate An dromede. The commander Henri de Villeneuve, was very kind to the exile, and the prince thanked him with the words, You are obliging man who Will one day be Emperor of the French, unfortunate as he may apepar at pres ent. I shall not forget you" The An dromede arrived at Norfolk March 30, 1887 The prince proceeded straight to New York and dined at Gen. Watson Webbs, where he found General Scott, his two brothers -in-law. the Stewards, and a number of senators and states men.

MABEL HARRISON

From the Louisville Courier-Journal
 In the death of Mabel Harrison, fol- lowing soon after that of her contempo- rary and colleague, Mabel Hite, the mus ical comedy stage loses a widely popular star who would have adorned it's firma- had not put an untimely end to her ca- reer.
 The news dispatches reporting Miss Bar rison's death mention her as having scored a success in "The Blue Mouse,' an amusing, but rather unsavory farce. It might be Hinder at this time to recall the success of the comedienne in a prom inent role in Babes in Toyland'' a musical comedy of superior quality in ences when in short pinafores and car rying a slate and pencil, she sang a song whose refrain was q can't do that sum"
 Like Miss Hite, Miss Harrison was still a young actress, even as age is counted in musical comedy, which is more exact ing in it's requirement. of youth than the "legitimate' stage and from which few of the more ambitious and capable come diennes are graduated to higher fields of endeavor when they pass the period of life in which the frolicsomeness necessary for all but eccentric" roles upon the musical comedy stage is necessary.
 Perhaps science will eventually make tuberculosis more readily and regularly curable than it now is. Many thousands of playgoers who recall the charm, and the abounding vitality of Miss Harrison few years ago, will feel a sense of per- sonal loss that will add to their regret that the advance of science toward the suppression of this contagious and stiil deadly disease has not been more rapid.

The Great saIyini

''I was very much interested in news paper sketch and interview in New York Sunday paper. relating to the elder Salvini, who Is now 84, and spends his last days quietly and happily amid the glories of Italy" said Percy Clark.
 T saw him 20 or more years ago in the Gladiator. He does not speak English, and yet one who had seen and read the play in English would appreciate his great acting. His phisque and voice were well suited to the part. I elected to see him in this play rather than his masterpiece, Othello, because I knew that his acting would compensate fully for my lack of knowledge of Italian.
 'Salvni is a very accomplished man in many ways He is a good painter and sculptor. a poet of rank, a scholarly man and a profound philosopher.
 The younger Salvini did not succeed, whether from a lack of innate artistic talent or in part because he could not grow to full stature under the shadow of his great father. The son who most inherited his fathers histrionic talents died many years ago, and the old actor tenderly revers his memory at all times This was and is his only abiding sorrow as this shadow merges into the lengthen- ing halo of the last days of the great Italian"
