Waitino For the f iuhtninu.

Curious information on the habits of the big trees of California is given in one of John Muir's books. "These big trees" he says, "seem to be immortal unless they are destroyed by accident. There is no absolute limit to the existence of any tree. Death is due to accident, not, as that of animals, to the wearing out of organs. Only the leaves die of old age. Their fall is foretold in their structure. But the leaves are renewed every year, and so also are the essen tial organs-wood, roots, bark, buds.
 Most of the Sierra trees die of dis ease, insects, fungi, etc, but nothing hurts the big tree" adds the distin- guished naturalist 'I never saw one that was sick or showed the slightest sign of decay. Barring accidents, it seems to be immortal. 1t is a curious fact that all the very old sequoias had lost their heads by lightning strokes.
 "'All things come to him who waits. But of all living things the sequoia is perhaps the only one able to wait long enough to make sure of being struck by lightning"

A Scot as Grand vizier.

In Further "Reminiscences" Mrs. Hugh Frazer tells of James Keith, a Scotsman, who served with Spain, Rus sia and Prussia. AS general officer of the Empress Anna Petroyna he was intrusted with the conduct of some preliminaries of peace with Turkey prior to the treaty of Belgrade
 On the completion of the negotia- tions, which were conducted in French, the Turkish representative. no other than the grand vizier himself, tall, red bearded parsonage dressed all in the sacred green of hadji tor holy man who had made the pilgrimage to Messa), arose and came round to where Keith was standing by the table.

The Serbs' Bout.

1t was on the banks of the Maritza, near Adrianople. in 1864, that the Turks first came into conflict with the young Slavonic races, the Servians, the Bosnians, the Bulgarians. Louis l., king of Hungary and Poland, with the princes of Bosnia, Servia and Wal lachia, had decided to conquer the sul- tan, a task that the Greeks had been unable to manage. The Turks were only half as strong as the allies. but the commander took advantage of the intoxication of the allies to make a sudden night attack. The Slavs were aroused by the beating of the Turkish drums. '"The Ottomans were upoD them before they could. stand to arms. They were like wild beasts scared from their lair,' says Sa'd-ud-Din. Speeding from the field of light to the waste of flight, those objects poured into the stream Maritza and were drowned" The spot can still be seen on the map as Sirf Sindughi. the Serbs rout."

Marat andeHis Uuliness.

Jean Paul Marat of the French rev. olution is said to have been not only one of the ugliest men in all France, but to have been positively repulsive in person, habits and manners. Yet in his early career he was beyond ques- tion the most popular physician in Par is, particularly with the women. It is said that his consulting rooms were daily crowded by the loveliest women in Paris. Even when he was suffer ing from loathsome skin disease, con- tracted while hiding in the sewers of Paris, he was tenderly nursed by one of the loveliest of his admirers, whom he eventually married.

THE LITERARY RIVALS.
A Serio- Comic Scene Between Victor
 Hugo and the Two Dumases.

Hugo and the Two Dumases.
 1t is perhaps onIy natural that Mir. A. F. Davidson, the latest biographer of Victor Hugo. annoyed by the extrava' gant eulogies of the poet that his pred ecessors had written. should lay a good deal of stress on the great French. mans faults and failings. Of these the chief was undoubtedly vanity. Victor Hugo was inordinately vain-vain at one moment with superb assurance that almost dignified vanity itself. at another with an uneasy Jealousy at once petty and absurd.
 Some years ago in a review of the work of the two Dumases. father and son, an anecdote was related that well illustrates this trait Both of the Du- masses, Victor Hugo and several others were chatting together when a foreign gentleman was presented. who made an excellent impression on every one until the moment of his departure. AS he bowed in taking leave be addressed himself to the most celebrated mem bers of the group and assured them of his pride and satisfaction in having met ''the greatest poet, the greatest TO. mancer and the greatest dramatist of France"
 "A little minimizing of our friend to address his parting compliment entire ly to me, was 1t not?" remarked Victor Hugo complacently.
 The others looked at each other. and he caught the look.
 "The dramatist-that was you, then you think, Dumasr' he inquired of Du mas the younger in an ominous voice Then thought even more appalling oc cured to him. and without waiting foI reply he turned to Dumas the elder.
 "The romancer. monsieur-the TO mancer! Do 1 understand you to sup pose that by the greatest romancer' il was you who was designated: Reply monsieurp' he demanded His brow was thunderous. and the company held their breath, but the elder Dumas. who never found himself at a loss. answer ed with an easy laugh;
 "But certainly 1t was l, and the dramatist was my son. How should | be otherwise? You did not invite tn, gentleman to dine, and I did. You. ar' not cook-a good cook. veritablt prince among cooking amateurs-and aml His compliments. such as they are, are for us, his prospective hosts But they are only payment in advance for the salade marseillaise of peppers stuffed with minced crab meat which have promised to prepare for him anC which invite you to share also"
 The great and only Hugo shrugged ( tolerantly contemptuous shoulder.
 "No: I have had enough of the so ciety of this gentleman who speak! from the stomach. not the head" h, stated grandly. You may appreciate 1t, Dumas. but l do not. It Is true am not a cook. ...t

Little Earl Vests Smile Wins
Him Coveted Home in the
Beautiful Country"

A new life begins today for Earl
West orphan-a life which he has
dreamed of, probably, at nights on his
cot in the Home of the Friendless, on
Highland avenue.
1t will be a life of green fields and
woods and wash holes. No wonder lit
tie Earl West smiled with a joyful
Christmassy, full-stocking smile when
he was told that S. G. Mccoy, an old
planter Of Cherokee county, wanted to
take him home
He smiled, too, because he liked Mr..
Mccoy at the very first 1t was this
smile which won for him a home. and
he is expected to smile and smile for
ever now, to comfort the old couple on
the Cherokee county farm, whose big
house is empty and who have only
memories to cheer them as they sit be-
fore the open fire there the long winter
evenings.
s. c. Mccoy, coming to Atlanta Sat
urday confessed frankly that he and
his wife were lonely in their big farm
house, and that he wanted to adopt a
little boy to bring a little brightness to
them, to fill the places made vacant
when their own children grew up and
married and made homes of their own
or died
Chief Beavers. to whom he first APP
piled, referred him to the matron of
the Home of the F'rlendIess. The ma
iron pondered moment
"Who is the cheeriest?"
Then she called Earl West, the sun
shine agent of the home. He had been
in the home three years, and they will
miss him there, the matron said. be-
cause of the smile which proved to be
his fortune.
Earl liked the life at the home, he
said, and he loved those who cared for
him there, but he jumped up and down
in gleeful acquiescence when the vision
of the freer life unfolded itself before
him at Mr.. McCoy's narration.

Having uttered this pronouncement

ACTOR WHO WHIPPED
AN ALLEGED WASHER
FORFEITS TRIAL. BOND

While Robert Devere, an actor who
appeared last week at the Forsyth, was
making Mobile audience laugh at his
antics, Calvin Thompson, a clerk, stood
before Recorder Broyles exhibiting his
bruised and discolored face and ex-
planning how the actor swatted him
Saturday night.
Devere had up cash collateral of
Sl0.75. which was forfeited
Devere told the police he struck
young Thompson because the latter
insulted Mrs. Devere and two other ac-
tresses just after they left the Forsyth
theater Saturday night. Devere was
with his wife at the time. Mrs De-
we're corroborated the story of her hus-
band.
Thompson denied to Judge Broyles
that he said anything at all concerning
the actresses, and said Devere struck
him without provocation.
