LARGEST BULBS
NOT ALWAYS BEST

In buying bulbs 1t is not always wise
TO pick out the largest. In imported
bulbs the number Of flowers each
spike will bear is generally deter
mined by the cultivation the k1lbs
have received in the nurseries.
In selecting bulbs, always pick out
those that are firm to the touch, be-
cause the larger ones are often lack
Ing in terminating powers. The IL
l~ustration shows three bulbs, the larg-
est of which was produced In a damp
climate, while the smallest was grown
in o high altitude and where the air
Is dry.
Pot bulbs In good soil. then put
them away until they have made a
good start In root-groWth. This re-
Quires at least two months and there
Is no use being disappointed If they
do not come out sooner because bulbs
cannot be forced before the early
spring.
Mulch the bulb beds heavily over
winter, and do not be in too great a
hurry to take It OF In the spring. The
mulch should be removed q little at a
time so that the plants may become
gradually accustomed to the sun and
cold.

WESTERN IDEAS OF EDUCATION.
Anyone Who Wants to Learn Any
thina is Welcome TO the University.

In the American Magazine, Ray STAN
nard Baker writes, In part, as follows
about the great new movement toward
democratic education in the west:
Comparing our civilization with the
life Of the bee one might say that the
chief interest Of the old education was
In the development of the individual
bee, while the new education Is also
profoundly concerned with the life OF
the hive. 1t does not consider h stu
dent as a thing apart, or the university
as an institution withdrawn from the
currents of life--out as intimately re-
lated. AS Dean Davenport of the uni
versity of Illinois says: 1t is not our
object to educate men to get the better
Of some other men, or even, conscious
ly, to educate leaders, but rather to
make citizens who will serve the state.
II we can inspire our students with
the feeling that they are a part of the
movement toward a better civilization.
leadership will take care OF itself
"The western universities are succeed
ing because they are opening vast and
hitherto untapped sources OF human
energy.
"Their doors are open wide. Any
man or woman who wants to know
anything upon any subject Is welcome.
He may come to spend two weeks. as
in the farmers short course, or eight
years. as in the medical courses. Nor
is this all. for the university does not
even wait for the people to come to
Champaign, but 1t goes out in special
trains, or by special lectures or in
structors, and carries its influence to
every little town in the state. 1t Is
there not to stand aloof, but to serve.
"It has always been the dread of the
old leaders that somehow education
would be cheapened, that there was
something about scholarship which
must not meet the rude breath OF the
world. / asked Dean Davenport al
Illinois, President Van Hise, at Wis
consin and President Vincent at Min
nesota what effect the growth Of the
new department OF the university was
having on the old scholastic courses,
and they all answered that instead Of
being crowded to the wall these courses
were stronger than ever. While the
number of students taking h classical
courses, still they have had a healthy
increase. And in all these institutions
the work of the classical courses has
been revived and strengthened by con-
tact with the vivid life OF the uni
yersity. The association between I
dents Of classical courses and those in
agricultural, engineering and business
has been valuable to both"

 Fielding began getting anxious to see how 1t felt to draw the first check at the heiress' bankers, and he made many in- situations. His wife made artful ex- ouses. Mrs. Villars attempted to collect the promised douceur. but he consoed himself with the pleasures of hope.
 Unfortunately, however, Fielding formed the acquaintance of woman of very different reputation to the real Mrs Delau, and the intimacy which en- sued was fatal to him. When there was no money forthcoming the beau beca me restless.
 Fielding, while on a visit to Paris shortly after his marriage met the once beautiful Barbara Villiers. who had had several liaisons at court during her early life. but who was still beautiful at 60. She had considerable money, and whether the beau still thought of fortune or whether once having tried matrmony he was so enchanted with it as to make it his eacoethes. does not appear; but he married the anticipated beauty only three weeks after his wedding with the widow. The widow discovered his second mar
 
 the well-<ept secret that she was not a widow, indeed, not even the relict of John Delau. but an adventures by the name of Mary Wadsworth, who had shared with Mrs Vilars the plunder of the trick. The beau tried to throw over the duper. but in vain. The first wife reported the state of affairs to the sec- end. and Barbara. who had been shame fully treated by Fielding. was glad to get rid of him. The second wife paid the first handsome sum to prove their marriage. The case came up and Beau Fielding had the honor of playing part in famous state trial He was convicted. but pardoned. The real widow married a far more honorable gentleman and the sham one was somehow quieted and Barbara died some four years later, the more peacefully for being rid of her tyrannical mate. Fielding eventually laDsed into the dimmest obsecurity.

HENDERSON STILL
 ON JEFFERSON TOUR
Greeted by Good Crowds Yesterday . In Spite of the Rainy and Dis
 agreeable Weather

Charles Henderson completed a rainy days work last night with an address in Rebie hall, Bessemer.
 On his return to Birmingham, he stated that despite the bad weather, he had been heard by good sized crowds, and greeted with considerable enthusiasm. He was apparently encouraged by the as surances of support which were given him during the trip of the day.
 "I told all the people, said Mir. Hen derson, that the hue and cry of the
 Conner followers was raised for effect,
 that none of the astute politicians who
 have expressed themselves in regard to the settlement of the rate question. were serious in their distress and lament
 'I told them that Mir. Conner had set
 tied with the Southern and allied lines. representing three-fifths of the mileage of the state, and that nothing was said in that settlement regarding the redemp- tion of coupons I told them that Conner followers were distressed in that the rate war, after expensive litigation had been settled by diplomacy, and that as result. Mir. Conner has no leg on which to stand. " In addition to Bessemer, MT. Henderson on yesterday spoke in the following places: McCalla, Virginia Mines, Johns schoolhouse, Twin Oak Grove, Meeks. Hueytown, Woodward and Brighton. His itinerary for today and tomorrow follows:

Beau Fielding, Beau Brummell and Beau Nash were a trio of English fops of the higher class, who hobnobbed with royalty. were received within the court circles and were for a long time the cri- terions of fashion for the English mo- bility. Robert Fielding was, perhaps, The least of the beaux; but then, to make up for this he belonged to noble family he married duchess, and. what is more he beat her. Surely in the kingdom of fools such a man is not to be despised
 Fielding had the misfortune to be very handsome, and the folly to think that his face would be his fortune; it certainly stood him in good stead at times but it also brought him into iamentable di lemma. He wore the finest ruffes and the heaviest sword. His wig was combed to perfection. He drank. swore and swaggered, and tine snobs of the day proclaimed him complete gentleman"
 The role of the beau is expensive to keep up, and Fielding soon got into debt as every celebrated dresser has done The brilliant Adonis had to keep watch and ward against tailors and bailiffs When his creditors pursued him too closely he decided he must marry-and some one with money A wealthy dow red widow it should be, of course. He found a widow, fat fair and 40 and with a fortune of G60O00 Her name was Mrs Deleau The only obstacle was that he did not know her. But he looked about for an agent and one was found in Mrs g-ilars, the widows hairdresser.

 lady, who he took to be the object of his pursuit-bowed to her majestically, and went away, persuaded he must have made an impression. But whether the widow was wiser than wearers of the weeds have the reputation of being. or whether the agent really had no power in the matter, the meeting never came off.
 Finally the hairdresser, recognizing that the beau did not know the widow by sight, secured a woman to impersonate Ter and brought her to F'ielding's hoine The widow c? blushed much-though with some difficulty-at the trying posi- ton in which she found herself. The beau flung himself at her feet and vowed his love. She returned at his invitation the next day, and when he insisted on marry ing her, she consented with the stipula- ton that the marriage be private lest her relatives should forbid the bans.
 The beau got up supper in his own room, a minister was found and they were married. The next morning, how
