In the cotton belt it has varied from fall of II degrees at Memphis and Birmingham to rise of degrees at Atlanta. These widely spread changes in this section are due to local conditions. Temperatures were rather high over the western half of the belt, where it has been warmer. but in other sections they vera moderate.
 Rather cool and showery weather is pre- dicted for Tuesday.

Force of
Self-Respect.

Il promoted a clerk last week." said
a merchant, because he had been in
my employ but month and on fit
ting occasion spoke Of something we
have in stock The youth who was
we and US in thought was there in
deed also. I recognized the fact, and
I believe I shall not regret my action"
Another merchant said to his man
ager: You may dispense with that
young mans services. He has been
here but a week. and my son says he
talks about our store as if he had
built the block. He viii be running
things here in month more, if we
don't get him out of the way. Let
him go"
The error made by the latter mer-
chant is too common. Men are not
allowed to appreciate even for day
that they are the greatest work Of
creation. On one hand they are called
to account for lack of interest, and
when they become truly interested
they are targets for fingers of scorn
and are pointed out as cyclists.
Men have been so constantly re-
minded of the fact that they are but
atoms in the great plan of creation
that they have come to underestimate
their own strength and capabilities
The average man believes that he has
little or nothing to do with the work
ing out of the great problems thai
cause men to become great, or from
greatness TO sink into oblivion.
The truth is that the individual
man is the greatest power on earth
Concerted strength is only possible
when men who recognize their forces
meet in harmony, and place propel
valuation on that which has beer
given them by nature.
Not until individual man is brough
to feel his greatness and the full
limit of powers vested in him win tn,
limit of his achievements be reached
and not until teen will the many ntti,
but intricate problems of society b,
solved.

The Unaccountable
Weather.

Much mental energy is being wasted
by scientific persons in the endeavor,
first to prove that the weather this
year is phenomenal, and secondly, to
find the cause of the phenomenal con-
ditions.
One learned professor, whose habitat
is in Chicago, that headquarters of all
that is bizarre III the line of original
investigation, advances the theory
that the shape of the earth's orbit is
changing rapidly and that the charac~
ter of the seasons is altered in conse-
quence, the winters becoming colder
and the summers more rainy.
Others study the spots on the sun
and draw ominous conclusions.
Theories are. indeed, as plentiful as
blackberries, and it is the exception
rather than the rule to find authority
for the belief that the world has had
such weather before and that there is.
after all, nothing surprising in the re-
fusal of nature to work. by rule and
square and in conformity with IRON
clad regulations.
Yet, as matter of fact, hardly any
phenomenon is the way of atmospheric
or climatic conditions can occur for
which precedents are not to be found
Nor does it matter much If when
abnormal conditions supervene, a
scientific explanation is not easily
forthcoming.
In the making of weather as in
many other things the ways of provi-
dence are generally inscrutable.

CITY COUNCIL
MEETS TONIGHT
REGULAR SESSION WILL BE HELD
AT ESQ FOR THE PURPOSE OF
DIsPosING OF ROUTINE RUsI-
NESS.

For the purpose of disposing of
whatever business may be brought to
the attention of the aldermen, as well
as that which is already on the cal
endar, the city council viii convene
in regular session tonight at 1880
o'clock in the council chamber in the
city hall.
While the meeting is apt to be a
rather lengthy one, it is not thought
that anything of unusual Importance
or interest viii be brought before the
meeting. Although there has been
some talk of re-opening the matter of
paving around Georgia square, it is not
thought that this matter viii again be
taken up and no change from the de-
cision of the last meeting of the coun-
ell is expected.
Several ordinances are now before
the council and number of them will
probably be considered.

The Age of
Hurry.

A great fault in all lines of labor in
this day is lack of thoroughness. We
do things only for the moment. We
all mean to do something great-to
build up something permanent-but
we put it off till a more favorable
time, and to most of US that time
never comes.
In our houses and our furniture one
can read the character of the age. We
prefer the cheap little Queen Anne
cottage to the tough old houses that
our forefathers built. We reck moth
ing Of posterity. Our philosophy is
expressed in the bull of Sir Boyle
Roche, d posterity; what has
posterity done for us?'
We reason that if our houses decay
rapidly and our furniture falls to
pieces, the demand increases and trade
improves. What would become of car
penters and joiners if things never
wore out?
Two hundred years ago when a man
built a house he designed it to last
until the end of time. He sank the
foundations deep into the soil He
used solid and durable woods If ne did
not use stone. He spared no toll to
make the structure permanent.
His furniture was built with the
same solidity. The chairs might be
stiff and clumsy, but they wore well
During 200 years they have rendered
people uncomfortable, and they still
are serviceable.
Any hack writer on a newspaper
grinds out steady average of 1000
words a day. In one year ne writes
$4,000 words. In ten years he does
more writing than any celebrated
writer of ancient or modern times
has done in lifetime. He does not
and can not write words that live oil
deserve to live longer than the mo.
ment. They perish in the swift
change Of conditions.
Even the writer's Of books grasp the
passing fancy. That which should b,
most surely permanent of all is mad,
a creature Of commercialism, and I'll,
book that sells in the hundreds o
thousands today is forgotten next year

This would be a pleasant country;
Yes, land of milk and honey.
Everyone would have the money
To accomplish his desires.
Every one of US would prosper;
Every wise man, every noodle,
Would rake in pile of Doodle
And would bale it up with wires
There would be no anxious moments
And no mortgage sharks would haunt
us
And no bill collectors taunt US
In way we've grown to hate.
There would be supreme contentment
Every mortal would be wealthy
And astonishingly healthy
And quite satisfied with Fate.
Everybody would wear jewels.
Life would be one constant party
For a public hale and hearty.

Aloysius Smith, the noted bugologist,
claims that he has discovered mi

The scheme is to catch the potato bugs
and inoculate each one with one or
two or these microbes. 1t may be a
tedious task, but potato bugs killed in
this way never have to be killed a
second time. Mr.. Smith expects to
organize stock company for the pur-
pose of selling these microbes to the
farmers throughout the state.

William Ladd. of the famous bank

none suited him. Finally he picked
up hat and put il on. It was very
comfortable.

"All right, Mr.. Ladd." said the clerk.

Ladd paid the money and went

philadelphia, Feb. 23.-One OF the most
ramarkable stories ever told in local
police court was heard by Magistrate
Boylc this morning. when Joseph Seal
hard working machinist, related how his
wifi Mrs Ernie Seal. had endeavored to
force their thirteen-year-o daughter 10

Seal and his wife separated several

house where his wife was living for the
purpose Of seeing his children. He found
two of them outside Of the house. Thsy
told him their mother had put them out
because she wanted TO kill herself.
Seal ran upstairs to his wife's bed
room. and there he found his wife with q
