SOFT HEART 0F
 THE SOUTHLAND Gallant Dixie Juries Are Aid for the
 Women

From the Louisville Courier Journal
 It seems impossible to get southern jury to render a verdict of guilty against a young, fearful and good looking woman' no matter what she does. In the latest case the man in issue may have been quite as big a son-of-a-gun as his female companion, who could only be so de- scribed. But that was no reason for condoning attempted murder for money.
 Wait till the suffragettes come to their own and serve upon Juries. Then the girls will have to sit up and take notice Maybe they will quit kicking us boys around and generally "a mistreating or us!
 Thirty years ago not very far south of us a young married woman walked into the private office of a brother-in-law and shot him dead. It was a deliberate, cold-blooded murder. But the Jury was just too gallant to convict lady. She was acquitted amid applause and dropped out of sight.
 The sequel reads like dime novel. Five or six years after a scandal broke out in one of the New York clubs. The pretty housekeeper was discovered m compromising relation with member or the board of governors. The guilty par vemoved the scene of their irregular felicity to an uptown flat.
 Two or three years later another scan dal broke out in the New York newspa- pers Our whilom pretty housekeeper or inc club brought her lover into court upon the charge of having Kidnapped and made way with a child she swore she had horne him. He was bachelor with q minimum of chivalry and an excess of nerve. Impervious to the notoriety, he stood his ground and fought. He proved that no child had been born It was shown that her object was partly black

clover. Irish potatoes, alfalfa-and cot ton, for money and not experience.
 A most striking story of negro's suc- cess in business, the facts oe which have been amply verified, is that of Watt Terry formerly of Mecklenburg county, Virginia, who arrived in Brockton in 19Oc with a capital of 10 cents. Wat- Terry s-- cured work as a coachman. Then for two years and half he served as as sistant janitor in the Brockton I. M. C. A. For a month he worked as a railroad rorter Finally, he made up his mind that he wanted to learn the shoemakers trade. He had considerable difficulty in getting a start. At least he decided that he would accept shoe foreman $ proposi- tion and work for two weeks for nothing in order to get start at S7 per week. To smooth out some of his difficulties lie occasionally bought bananas and passed them around to his fellow workers. In time he won their goodwill as well 1s promotion. By degrees he advanced him self until he was able to earn go a week.
 Watt Terry has had a rough road to travel. Men were unwilling, to allow him to learn to run machine. For weeks he worked alone in the factory from to 6 o'clock in the evening while the power was still on and the men were away just to learn how to operate ono ot the shoe machines. Watt Jerry's first large real estate transaction was commission or Sl0O which he received for selling a house.
 Today, at the age of 30, after eight years in the real estate business, Watt Terry owns and controls 90 separate pieces of property, containing 222 apartments, which have an aggregate worth Of SoJ1,OOO. While there are some mortgages on this property, Watt Terry holds in every case the controlling equity. He is able to bor- row money at and per cent and earns with the same money 12 per cent, Today his income ranges from $46o0 to S7eoO Ter month Watt Terry attributes his success in business to hard work honesty ard persistence, and declares that he owes much to the influence of the Y. M. C. A. Indeed he has contributed 5000 to the BrocAton Y. NJ. C. A. Watt Terry is quiet, self-possessed and frank.
 In Chicago the approximate value ot real estate managed by negroes Is S1. 5oo.- coo. Today the negroes of Chicago are better sheltered than the negroes m any other city in the world.

The New Capital of Australia

From Popular Mechanics.
 In picturesque mountain valley 2OOo
 feet above sea level and now practically
 wilderness, new capital city for the
 commonwealth of Australia Is to be
 created As the result of competition
 in which more than a hundred of the
 leading architects and landscape gar
 deners of the world competed this city IS to be built in accordance with the plans of an American architect, Walter Burley Griffin of Chicago. who was awarded
 prize of E1750, equivalent to about sS50o.
 The site of the new city is midway be- tween Melbourne and Sydney and 70 miles from the sea coast, and work is to begin immediately.
 The plan embodies the most advanced theories in city planning. The different functions of the city are grouped at specific centers, each arranged roughly in the form of an octagon. with main avenues radiating in all directions. Such
 theory has never before been worked out in complete form. although Hauss-
 mann applied it in limited way in the rebuilding of Paris, and LEnfant la his plan of Washington, provided diagonal | avenues intersecting checkerboard sys l tenn of streets.
 The practice of walking from point to point is rapidly becoming obsilete with city dwellers, and there is an increasing | tendency to use means of rapid transit. | For this reason the different centers in l the Australian capital have been placed at considerable distances apart. In the capital city the federal center is the one of first importance. This center com prises the octagon and triangular group 1 of buildings south of the central lagoon. l At the center of the octagon, occupying 1 a prominent elevation, are the federai l executive buildings. On the slopinT ground extending to the lagoon. and arranged sin terraces. are the parliament and de partment buildings and courts of justice. On the opposite side of the lagoon are the stadium, museum, theatres and other places of amusement.

 A Rhine museum is soon to be founded at Koblenz. if present plans are carried out It will include large collection of charts. pictures, models and diagrams H. lustrating the physical conditions, past and present, of the famous river, and a complete exposition of its economic his- tory Some of the unique features will be models of the various types of vessel used on the Rhine from early times to the present; models of past and present bridges illustrations of the methods and apparatus used in maintaining and im- proving the navigability of the river.
