Texas is a great state, not only great
in its area, but great in its material de-
velopment." said T. l.. Cairn of Philadel-
phia. 1.-The whole south is prosperous, as
for that matter. Alabama seems to be
wonderfully prosperous state, and in
Texas, where l spent several days re-
Gently, everybody 1 met was optimistic
and had something to tell of the COM
mercial strides of the state.
Dallas and Houston are both growing
very fast and are both making new high
records in solid improvements, and I un-
derstand that all the towns of Texas,
large and small, are prospering greatly.
II was as far south as Alabama about
10 years ago. This is my third trip. With
in the past five or six years the agricul-
tural development of the south has been,
I think, phenomenal. The south is un-
questionably attracting more attention in
the north as field for investment than
1t ever did before

TO BABYLON.

BY May Kendall (Mrs. Andrew Lang).
Comrade, now the dawn is night,
Light Is yelling every star.
Pale against the paling sky
Cleans a citadel afar.
Where the earth and sky are one,
Comrade. it is Babylon.
Comrade, now the monday blaze
Beats upon us as we go;
But / see a city's maze
Gray against the fiery glow,
Shadowy towers. cool streams that run
Meath the walls of Babylon.
Comrade, had we ever guessed
Half the weary miles between!
Now the sun Is near the west,
Now the trees the city screen.
Ends the journey, long begun,
We are nearing Babylon.
Comrade, now the night 10 late,
In the darkness We must be
Very near the city gate.
Where II room for thee and me

has but little weight today In determine
ing salvage awards. This ruling was that
as long as any domesticated animal, slch
as dog, cat or pig, remained alive on
dereliet, the craft was not called ab6n-
doned, and the salvage award was ma
terially affected by the circumstance.
The origin of this ruling is obscure. out
the view probably taken in such case
was that, il the weather conditions had
been exceptionally severe after the aban-
donment of vessel all life would have
perished before the arrival of the sal

Seeking for disabled vessel when Ter
