THE EXTREMES
OF THE STOCK MARKET

After fong period of scraping
along on bed rock bottom, the stock
market has advanced. Sentiment on
the various exchanges Is more hope
full.
The public that watches from afar
the doings Of the spectators should
not think that this is necessarily n
favorable time for them to engage
in speculation. The cream is never
secured by those who buy when hope
prevails on Wall street. The time
to make money, If ever, is when Wall
street is convinced that the country
is headed straight for the kennels.
A few bargains can then be picked
up.
The stock broker sees everything
either all sunlight or all pitch
black. There are no intermediate
shades Of twilight.
The man who can risk his whole
career On the roulette wheel Of stock
investments has the gambling spirit.
II gamblers were regarded as socially
acceptable, he would place his shiny
coins on the green cloth.
When he is hopeful, he cannot ad.
NIT the possibility of clouds and
storms. He buys at top level prices.
These are based on fictitious valua-
tons. They assume the persistence
o. flexible money markets, and dis
regard the yeasting social unrest that
must shake the business fabric for
long time.
Whom this type of man is convert
ed to the bear position, he goes to
the opposite extreme. He ignores
the fundamental common sense of
the Anne lean people, He fails to
see that all political parties want
prosperity and that any political
party will make many fops and re-
versals to keep in power. Depres-
sion never goes far before 1t rights
itself.
Wherefore no man is At to spend
a dollar on stock investment who de-
pends much on the dope fed out by
these sporting gents. 1t is as UNI
reliable as tips on the races.

LOVE, LIFE, DEATH

! Were 1t not for love and life there
would be no horrors of death. Love
the divine gift, life the essence of
sweetness, and death in it's icy cold
ness, each in its turn visits every
home. In this all mankind are alike
but the degrees of love, the greatness
Of life, and the SORROWS of death,
can be measured with an individual
tape only.
When a portion Of heavens best
bliss comes from the upper world to
this and unites In the holy bonds Of
wedlock two hearts It is called love.
When hope, under the infinite infiu-
ence of love, builds happy home.
and brings to that home Gods gift
divine the babe-we have life in
all its innocence and purity-the SUI
preme Joy and greatest reward Of
pure love. Welded people who know
not the bliss Of Gods gift divine on
ly half live-the tape with which they
measure love and life is but half
length.
When young people whose hearts
are linked together by the golden
Chain OF pure love and to be separ-
ated is the severest trial of life
are willing to acknowledge and &C.
cept a call to the missionary field,
thus submitting to separation in or
der to do good to others, shows that
the tape by which they measure life
is full length.
When during the absence of the
father loves gift divine-a new life
comes to that happy home and is TAX
en- away again by the same God that
sent it while the father is still alb
sent as Is the sad case of Brother
CLANCY Thomas, and his wife Pauline
Hendricks Thomas, proves that God
intends their tape measure of life
shall not only be full length but of
double strength. knowledge that
God Is the author of love, life and
death, is a comfort that makes the
bangs of death less severe. Though
these young people at this sad hour
are separated by distance, 1t is 4
great blessing to them, the family
end friends to knIw that through the
Providence of God, their thoughts
and hearts are firmly united in love,
life and death.

Jones' Name Withdrawn

President Wilson has risen to the occasion in withdrawing from the Senate the nomination of Thomas D. Jones for the federal reserve board
 Mr. Jones is an able lawyer and a personal friend of the President but a majority of the Senate committee on banking and currency voted against his confirmation. Mr. Wilson was then ready for fight, and as only two democrats on the committee had opposed Jones' confirmation he felt that the Senate would not be slow in reversing the committees action.
 MT. Wilson is full of grit and usually has his way whenever he feels sure that he is right, as in this case. But at the request of Mr. Jones he gave up his contention.
 The correspondence between MT Jones and the President, which ap- pears in an Associated Press dis patch, will be read with lively in terest Mr. Wilson's backbone is as strong as ever, but in his spirited let ter he takes high ground and his ac- tion, in view of all the circumstances can but be cordially commended by the people

FAMOUS SHARK KILLED
From the New York Herald.

From the New York Herald.
 Old Tom. a shark that has lived in the waters of Port Royal harbor, Jamaica, for 20 years and Is known to thousands of travellers and seagong men, was put to death by the island authorities several weeks ago, according to officers of the schooner Caleb Martin, arrived here from Kingston.
 The famous fish was one of the sights of the West Indies. He was to be seen every day in the clear waters of Port Royal and was fed regularly by the men of the British warship fleet stationed there.
 He preyed upon the other fish in the harbor and was equally as quick in at tacking human beings. His presence pre- cluded the possibility of sea bathing by the sailors and desertions among the crew of the British war vessels were few, as none had the fortitude necessary to swim ashore when Old Tom was in the vicinity.
 The shark always could be found near the warships and the boatloads of tour never disappointed. If he chanced to stray dWdy LOT d lew minutes tic louu beating of a tinpan would invariably bring him back.
 During the 20 years that Old Tom has been a familiar object a number of per- sons have lost their lives in the waters of Port Royal, due, 1t is believed, to his man eating proclivities. He was never seen, however, to kill person until few weeks ago, when he attacked a native boy who had fallen overheard from d warship cutter. The sailors tried hard to save the boy, and although their efforts were in vain, several we'll directed blows crippled Old Tom so badly that his cap ture few hours later was an easy mat ter.
 When the boys death. was reported the authorities decided that Old Tom must go He was barely able to swim when they found him near one of the warships and harpooned him. The carcass was taken ashore and after being mounted will be palced in museum al Kingston
 The shark was nearly 20 feet long. Ma tive fishermen said he had the most vicious teeth of any shark ever killed in the vicinity of Port Royal Among the articles found in his stomach were three fathoms of chain, gold watch, a marlin pin and a miscellaneous collection Of nails, bolts and other small objects.

ORIGIN OF MAXlxE
rom the Louisville Courier-Journa

From the Louisville Courier-J ournal.
 Dr. w. c. Farabee, who has just re-
 turned from explorations in South Amer
 ica, brings the news that the 'masheka'
 is the popular dance of the bellcs and
 beaux of British Guanea.
 The costume for the ''masheka'' con
 sists of a small apron worn by the
 girls. The apron is edged with bracelets.
 anklets and peanut shells. These shells when agitated give a pleasing rattle or tinkle.' The musical aprons are worn by Dc tn men and the women. The dance is enc of courtship and the name means the dance of the peanut vines. It is regarded a initiative of the graceful waving of the peanut tendrils as they are seeking to be united with the earth. Dr. Farabee, who describes the ma sheka" of the trop- ical jungles as being decidedly plea sing | to look upon." says 1t is a native Indian l dance. It was taken to Europe by the Portuguese and both the dance and the | name were corrupted, but the dance was afterward refined to meet polite require
 ments. The name remains, in Europe. the "maxixe."
 The dances of the day, whatever they
 are called, are much more graceful than 1 the shuffle-and-rock dances of a year or
 two ago. Dr. Farabee brings back a
 rretty story of one of them. Dances of courtship. borrowed from savages or else. where obtained, are at once more grace. frl and less objectionable than those ot baser origin.

OPERA IN ENGLISH

From the New York Times.
 It is not surprising that the directors of the popular opera at the Century thea tre should have decided to give more performances next season of operas in the language to which they belong. There has never been a great demand for opera in English. English opera should be sung in English, to be sure, but there are few English operas of the quality of inc works which dominate the Century s repertory Wagners music drama should be sung in German; most of the mod ern French works cannot be, or have not been. well fitted with English words. It will be surprising if the number of performances in English should be cur tailed still further later on. The idea that the American public yearns to have opera sung in English whether or not the words suit the music Is mistaken. The people prefer the words which fit the music best. A few English librettos are uncommonly good, but most of them, even at this late day, not only elude any real poetic beauty there may be in the original, but are almost unsingable. Ger tainly people do not derive any closer familiarity with an opera from such a performance than may be obtained from hearing the work in its original tongue.

The Elephant Butte Dam

An enormous irrigating project which is said to be greater than that provided for by the great Assuan dam on the River Nile is nearing comple- tion on the Rio Grande river, in New Mexico. 102 miles from Fl Paso, where the Elephant Butte dam is be- ing constructed. This dam, which is now 85 per cent completed, will lrrl- gate an area of 160,00O acres in New Mexico and Texas. It will cost the United States government approxl- mately $6,000,000, and will enable the inhabitants of that region to irrlgate their land at a cost of $3 per acre per annum.
 Under the terms of contract the federal government must turn over to New Mexico 60,O00 feet of water per acre every year. This means that wa ter to the depth of one foot and cov- ering 60,000 acres of land much be supplied to the state of New Mexico by the government. It is estimated that the government will have been repaid the original expenditure for the dam in 20 years. The Mesilla valley will benefit most by the Elephant Butte dam. It will be made one of the most fertile regions in the west. While not an agricultural state, irrigation will enable New Mexico to grow al most anything that can be grown ir other parts of the United States.
 A certain popular novel published . few years ago gave a vivid picture of great irrigation project in the west. but the remarkable changes that have already been brought about bs irrigation in this part of the country do not need the art of word paint CT" to make them appeal to tht imagination. Turning desert into 2 gloriusly productive farming country is one of the modern wonders of civil ization. Even in her sternest aspect: nature has been conquered by man He has achieved no greater victories than his reclamation of the arid re pions of the west.

Cotton and Corn

"Alabama's s cotton crop this year will be the largest yet produced said Columbus Teacher, the well known fertilizer sales man.
 T was talking with friend from Fay ette county a few days ago, and he said the crop there was in splendid condition, and I have information from every part of the state indicating a bumper crop. The boil weevil has not done anything like the damage that had been reported a few weeks ago.
 Some conservative estimates have placed the Alabama crop at between ,4O0,- 000 and 100000 bales but now it is safe to say that we will have 100000 bale crop or a little more than the record breaking crop of 1911. The large yield of cotton Is attributable in a great meas ure to the farmers intelligent use of fer tilizer. By the intensive practice large fields of cotton produce a bale to the acre, and small patches make more than that. Then, too, the use of high grade fertilizer accounts to some extent for the crop maturing early, which, of course means much.
 "The corn crop in this state will not be as large because of the drouth as l had khoped to see it. Yet I think the yield will be fully up to that of last year Taken all in all, this is great year fol the farmers of Alabama

poIsoNs IN sHAkEspEARE

From the Philadelphia Record.
 The poisons mentioned in Shakespeare's works have been made the subject of a study by Dr. Cartaz, the eminent French physician. It appears therefrom that the exter sive medical knowledge which Shakespeare is supposed to have possessed and which has been advanced by the Bacon theorist as a proof in support of their contention was no more extensive than that of Shakespeare's contemporaries V ho, it further appears. labored under the same misapprehensions as he regard ing the potency of certain philtres and pcjsons.
