An Old, Old Question.

The servant question is not new one, and were the wise Akiba still alive he might with right use his tru- Ism, "It has all been here before," in connection with the problem. This may be demonstrated by no less an au- thority than Goethe. In his 'Wilhelm Meister," written in the latter days of the eighteenth century, there is scene where the hero comes to the home of Therese, sent there by Lothario and Jar no. Receiving Wilhelm, Therese asks to be excused because of her scant board: My cook" she says, "just ran away at most inopportune time. and our man mangled his hand. had to prepare all myself. Nothing bothers one moro nowadays than servants; no one will serve, not even themselves"

 Mature in the tropics. left to hel self, is harsh. aggressive, savage looks as though she wanted to hang you with her dangling ropes or impal. you on her thorns or engulf you in her ranks of gigantic ferns Her mood Is never as placid and sane as in the north There is q tree in the Hawaiian woods that suggests tree gone mad It Is called the haI tree. It lies down squirms and wriggles all over the ground like wounded snake. 1t gets up and then takes to earth again Now 1t wants to be vine; now 1t wants tt, be tree. It throws somersaults i. makes itself into loops and rings. i' rolls, 1t reaches. 1t doubles upon itself Altogether 1t Is the craziest vegetable growth ever saw.
 ''It was near Pali that saw what ] had never seen or heard of before-a waterfall reversed, going up instead of down. It suggested Stockton's story of negative gravity. A small brook comes down off the mountain and at telrpts to make the leap down a high precipice. but the winds catch it alid carry it straight up in the air like smoke. It Is translated: it becomes a mere wrath lowering above the bee tling crag. Night and day this goes on. the wind snatching from the noun tains in this summary way the wate' 1t has brought them"

South Leads In Cotton
Mill Development

Washington, D. c., Jan. g.
President Finley, of the Southern
Railway Company, commenting
today upon the record of cotton
mill cons ruction during the CAL
endar year 1912, said:
''The southeastern states led
all other sections of the country
in cotton mill development in
1912. There were 81 new mills
built in the United States dur
ing the year. Of these 20 were
in the southeastern states, and
out of 9,774 new looms, 6,45O, or
66 per cent, were in southeastern
mills. These figures refer only
to new mills and take no account
of the large addition made during
the year to existing plants by
which the manufacturing capac
ity of the section was largely in
creased. The aggregate increase
has been so great as practically
to insure the maintenance of the
record made by the cotton-pro-
ducing states in the year since
August 81, 1912, when the mills
Of the south consumed more cot
ton than those of all other sec
tons of the United States.

Woodward Has Animal
Plank In Platform

Atlanta, Jan. 10.-The new
mayor has an animal plank in his
platform, and for the first time
the ZOO has become a lively issue
in city politics.
How do you stand on the leop-
ard question:" will now be a
query that may take the place of
the old one, ''How do you stand
on charter reform?" And the
views a man now holds on the
lion and the bear cub will be of
as much Importance as what ne
thinks of sewerage and SANTA
ton.
What the mayor thinks is that
there has been some plum-fool
doings recently in zoo-land. Not
long ago Keever Boyd went ,nt>
the leopard's cage and kicked
the brute in the ribs to make it
lively for a motion picture man.
The leopard acted a little liveller
than had been expected, broke
out of his age and terrorized the
neighborhood. This same keeper
let a young woman into one Of
the wild animal cages in order
that sensational photograph
might be made.
One of the first things Mayor
Woodward did when he got into
Office was to cut loose with a
praachment against such goings
on and a declarations that hence
forth the ZOO would have to be
kept in more conservative style
else somebody would be losing
a Job. not to speak of any sundry
heads or legs or arms that the
ami mails may chew off in the
meantime.
