WILLIAM, THE WAITER

And David Copperfieids testimony that
the waiter got most" with his big ta-
blespoon to Copperfeld's little spoon, may
be accepted as more than true. He got it
all. And after the meal which William
the waiter, had taken from the boy he
extracted then what was coming to nim
for his service.
IF l hadn't family" he said on that
point, land that family hadn't the cow

didn't support an aged pairint and a
lovely sister"-here the waiter was great
ly agitated-'I wouldn't take a farthing.
! If I had a good place, and was treated
well here, 1 should beg acceptance of a
broken withstand sleep on the Goals
here the waiter burst into tears.
And when David rewarded him with one
of his three bright shillings. gift of tho
faithful Peggoty, he received it with
much humiliation and veneration and
spun up with his thumb, directly after
ward, to try the goodness of it.
II one could suppose such thing-per-
fectly preposterous, of course-as the ev-
olution of William, the waiter, into mod
ern big business; and II one could follow
the supposition-still perfectly preposter-
ous,e of course-and picture the fictitious
Mr.. Topsawer as a bugaboo which still
furnishes the organized and capitalized
William, the waiter, an excuse for grab
bing things; if all that could be imagined,
then the experience of David Copperfeld
at the Yarmouth Inn would shed an illu-
minating light upon the demand of the
people of today that prosperity be passed
around.
For with that picture in mind it would
be perfectly plain-and not perfectly pre-
posterous--to see in young Copperfield and
his unequal contest a representative Of

Lack of Sentiment

There was little sentiment displayed in
Birmingham and its suburbs regarding the
passing of the old and the advent of the
new year. said former subject of Great
Britain.
ITO the casual observer there was Moth
ing to indicate that another milestone had
beer passed in the progress of the twen-
tieth century. 1t Is true that q few steam
whistles were blown and some pistol shots
fired, yet there were no New Year fes-
tivities of an unusual order-no particular
celebration--and the dawn of new year
came to a sleeping community. But few
heard the whistles, or pistol shots, and
but few seemed to care anything about it,
for outside of the night workers and a
few people who still retain a remem-
brance of former festivities on like oc-
casons, the advent of the new year meant
no more than the first of any one of the
Il months in the calendar.
mot to make comparisons, which are
undoubtedly odious, there is quite a senti-
ment attached to the coming of a new
year in Great Britain and in all the
British isles. New Years Eve is fit
tingly celebrated in the mother country. A
few years ago L was in England during
the Christmas and New Years holidays.
The festivities started with the singing
of the carols on Christmas Eve, including,
of course, Christmas Awake, Salute This
Happy Morn which is possibly sung by
every singing society and choir in that
country at II o'clock. The holidays were
continued during the week and on New
Years Eve a brass band, augmented
from all the brass bands in the city, as
sembled on the city hall square and as
the bells toiled the hour of midnight they
struck up that soul stirring strain, Hail
Smiling Morn,' and with the cheers of the
vast crowd assembled the new year was
ushered in. Everybody wished each other
a Happy New Year and then departed
TO their homes, where the celebration of
the new year was continued. The oc-
casion was free from debauchery or
license, and every one seemed to enter
into the spirit of the occasion"

DEADLOCK On PATRONAGE

According to adyiceS from
Washington, Senators Williams
and Vardaman are still in dead
lock over the appointment Of a
| United States district attorney for
the northern district Of MissiSsip-
pi, and there is little probability of
an appointment being made be
fore the adjournment of the spe-
Cjal session Of Congress,
Senator Williams has recon-
mended Hon. W. S, Hill. Of Green
wood, former member of Con
gress from the Fourth District,
while Senator Yardaman wants
the berth for Hon. c Lee Crum, of
New Albany, In the mean
time Hon. Lester 6, Fant, of Hol-
ly Springs, is holding the position
under appointment by Judge Hen
ry c, Niles.
A great deal of misinformation
has been sent out Of Washington
recently concerning the disagree,
ment between the two senator's
on the patronage question, and
some il bears the ear-marks of
having been written in Senator
NardamanS office. Senator VIII
hams has kept silent on the sub
ject, but his colleague has en-
gagged in a great deal of talking,
endeavoring TO make it appear
that he is in no wise at fault in
the matter
Those who are acquainted with
the situation, however, have not
been deceived by any Of these re-
ports, being aware Of the fact that
Senator Nardaman has shown a
desire to gobble up all of the pat
both in the northern and
southern districts; that he has de-
the right to name the
Federal district attorneys, United
States marshals and all other
berths. Senator Williams natu-
uraly desires a small slice Of the
pie, and is merely standing pat on
the recommendations he has made
to the various departments and to
