Dr. Murfee lived through a number Of the most stirring periods of our national history. His collegiate career was at the Virginia Military institute, from which he was graduated with the rare distinction of never having received a demerit in a school the most rigid and exacting in scholastic work and discip- line. It is not surprising that the re- suit was that he bore away the highest honors of his class, which occurred in 1858.
 MT. Murfee's gifts and disposition led him to the adoption of the vocation of teaching and he was called first to Lynchburg, Va, in that capacity, then, later to the chair of physical science in Madison college, Pennsylvania. In 1860 he came to Alabama as professor or mathematics and commandant of cadets at our state university. During the war that followed soon after his advent into the state, he became the lieutenant col onel of the Forty-hrst Alabama regi- ment, but resigned 10 resume his duties

G. she often visited relatives in Marlboro. In summers there boarded at neigh boring farmhouse a middle aged business Thurston.
 The little girl gave him flowers and hunted for him the finest fruits. Natural ly there sprang up a friendship and the man often returned to the farmhouse, where the little girl still brought him fruits and flowers.
 Then they drifted out of each others life as people will. The girl. who was a cripple, grew to womanhood; the man grew to old age.
 Maybe 1t was the fact that she was a cripple that made little Marion so thoughtful of others. Have you not noticed that those who are themselves afflicted are quicker in their sympathy for their fellows?
 A few days ago Miss Marion L. Covert was surprised to learn that she had been left $150,0O0 by the will of the late Gerald Thurston of Chicago.
 Still thoughtful of others, the first cry of the crippled girl was that now she could take her parents to live with her in New York.
 We get what we give. The child gave kindness with no thought of re turn, but the seed took root and grew through the years and at last bore the fruit of sreater kindness that came back to her.
 As it is in nature. so in life. What ever kind of seed we plant that kind of a crop we raise. Corn brings forth corn. The oak grows from the acorn of another oak.
 Every tree bringeth forth fruit after it's own kind"
 He who sows hatred reaps hatred 1Is who sows good deeds reaps good deeds. Sometimes the crop is deferred but sooner or later 1t ripens.
 It is like the bread upon the waters that returns after many days.
 Can you see the kindness of the lit- tie crippled child?
 Do you imagine that in Gods good green world such deeds pass unnoticed?

outer mind, that shapes us unconsciously, that builds us and heals us.
 All these are but guesses. We know so little of this mind within the mind that we can do little more than guess.
 Yet we know by experiment that there are certain things this inner mind will do.
 Here is a simple, primary method to test the thing for yourself. If you have some problem to work out, some mon tai task to do, put 1t up to this sub conscious mind before you go to sleep. If you are nervous or ill, suggest healta. Only do it with full faith or your doubt will prove a counter suggestion
 It is worth the experiment.
 Try it.
 Max Nordau says that society-by which he means that the smart set-is changing it's winter habits, likewise its winter habitat. In the old days it went south. Now it goes north.
 There is more in the change than ore of direction. It is all the difference be- tween soft self indulgence and hard en- durance.
 People with money are learning what people without money knew long ago that not only strength and virtue, but grace and beauty, are found in the process of overcoming hard conditions.
 Now the smart set members of many countries are going in for the toughest winter sports, skis, skates, bobsleds, jumping poles and all the rest
 As a result M. Nordau asserts that the women are becoming more willowy, more supple and stronger. If this process continues long enough it will breed a new race.
 The majority of us do not have the op- portunity to go to northern winter re- sorts, but then We need not do so, hay ing the same conditions right at our door steps,
 What we need to do both in summer and winter, is to live more with nature and to play in the open.
 Soft lives beget degeneracy.

and then to impart the power for it's execution. There are hundreds of men adorning the different vacations in this state and in others. including the preacher in the pulpit, who gratefully trace the inception of their success to this great teacher of youth.
 Indeed, the rule is well-nigh uni versal that a genuinely successful man is able to date the turning point of his life to the vital touch with some su- perior character from which thrill has been derived. and as life broadens into stern practicalness, additional ingre- dients from the same source are ap- propriated, which continue to tincture and temper for good throughout, 1h recipients of these advantages may not be always conscious of the derivation Of these augmenting and contributory forces yet the fact remains that with out the abiding presence of this once dominant force. life might have been vastly different.

And he told those peasants the truth, as every electrical engineer in the world knows.
 Pupin is rich, very rich as inventors go. He has a fine home in New York and beautiful country estate fin Connecti- cut. His salary as professor at Colum- bia university does not signify. He lives like q prince His limousine is one Of the finest in New York. He is very tall large of frame, very dark, with the sug- gestion of the Oriental in his face. lie speaks the most perfect English, the English of the hghly-educated foreigner and there is just q trace of foreign favor to his speech. He is intensely proud or his American citizenship. He is intensely proud. too of being Serb
 He has played d large part in the war in the Balkans. As Americas leading Serb, he has given literally of his money- and of his time in the cause of the Servians. In the early days of the Bal kan war he spent more time in the Ser vian headquarters in West Twenty second street than in his laboratory at Colum- bia. But for the United Servian Society of the United States. into which Pupin has put some of his tremendous en- ergy, the war chest of King Peter would not have been so well supplied as it was when hostilites began. Tn addi- tion, Pupin has been the friend and benefactor of many a poor Serb who has come to America in so~rch of fortune.
 Professor Pupin is 54 and looks 10 years younger He has his dreams such as all inventors have. He dreams of ocean telephony, He thinks he will perfect one of these days a cable that will carry the electric impulse with voice under the seas from hemisphere to hemisphere In his laboratory he has a cable 25O feet long on which he makes his experiments.
 Because of Pupin and Americans of his class, the United States is immeasurably ahead of Europe in the telephone busi- ness. Europe is not likely to catch up so long as scientists find so much sup port from capital in this country. In the United States today there are nearly 15000,Oi0 miles of telephone wire. That fs enough to grdle the earth 600 times at the equator. Every person who uses the long distance telephone wire is under obligation to Michael Idvorsly Pupin. Without him and his work. the rates to- day would be far higher than they are. What his inventions have meant to busi- ness is beyond computation. And he is only at the full of his powers today.
 He has all the ambition that stirred him in those days when he was a stowaway, eager for knowledge, eager for advance fnont Prosperity, power and recognition have not changed him. He is a scientist Of the highest order and Is as eager to advance still further in his wonderful field as he ever was.
 He works as hard as day laborer and glories in it. He plays just little and what do you suppose he plays at?
 He comes of peasant stock, and so, d, f's fine country estate, he plays at Cairy farming.

at the University of Alabama. Near the close of the war. when the state was overrun by the federals, he commanded the cadets in an engagement at Tusea- loosa.
 After the close of the war, pr. Mur- fee was engaged as architect to design and erect new buildings for the univer- sity in place of the magnificent edi1ces destroyed by the enemy, to which stu pendous task he set his hand and mind recommending at the same time, new scheme of university organization, all of which was accepted by the board of trustees, but he was thwarted in his efforts by the reconstruction regime.
 Called in 1871 to the presidency of Howard college, then at Marion, which institution had writhed in the throes incident to those troublous times, he brought 1t to the front as one of the best institutions of it's grade then in the south. On the removal of Howard to Birmingham in 1887, pr. Murfee was ten-

 In speech and writing it means to cut out the hifalutin-less rhetoric and more facts.
