 When she was married. Elizabeth
 was maid of honor to the Princess at
 Leicester house, and she continued to hold this position after she had sep arated from her husband. She was re-

 and indelicacy of her conduct, appear ing on one occasion in 1749 at a masked ball in the character of "Iphigenia." "so sparsely dressed.' said Horace Wal

That Mythical Kingdom

Since Chief Sam of Oklahoma has moved into the limelight with his threat to establish kingdom on the gold coast of Africa, Great Britain has fallen into quite stew and is preparing to repel by force of arms, if necessary, the visionary negro from any territory occupied by Brit ish subjects or owned by the United Kingdom.
 John Bull is exercising himself quite unnecessarily, for it is barely within the pale of possibilities that Chief Sam's project will ever ma terialize and should an initiatory move in such a direction be effected his domain will go the way that fate has decreed for the various mythical kingdoms that proceeded it.
 England, Germany and Belgium have successfully planted colonies by the encouragement of emigration but it appears that to Frenchmen almost exclusively has been reserved the at tempt to establish government upon foreign soil by means of a personal following and an individual installa- tion. Moreover, most of these at tempts by subjects or citizens of France have been on South American or West Indian soil.
 More than half century ago a son of France with an apparently unlim- ited fortune behind him, set up a monarchy in Patagonia and styled himself King of that country. He even went so far as to establish a mint but Argentina looked after his case and how we'll it did the work, the few remaining coins, in numis- matic collections, which constitute the only vestige of the kingdom, we'll at- test.
 Another Frenchman sometime ago announced his sovereignty over the rocky island of Trinidad, but he had no subjects and Great Britain saw to it that he never acquired any. She kept the island but the one time King
 was never heard of again.
 | A third son of France once assumed
 the title of King of Sahara with ar
 oasis for capital and the sand dunes
 for his bulwarks, but his own country
 suppressed his aspirations and title

Remain in the South

The address of President Fairfax Harrison, delivered before the Selma Chamber of Commerce while on his recent southern tour, is being widely circulated, and is causing much fa- vorable comment on the part of the press.
 It was in that address that Mir. Harrison sought to impress upon the southern people his conviction that Keeping our own people at home is even more important to our progress than attracting settlers from other localities" He spoke for the people of this section when he remarked that every desirable immigrant would be welcome in the south. He pointed out that the southern people would make him .'one of us;" would under take to teach him our language and imbue him with our aspirations. But Mr. Harrison maintained that we could best insure the preservation of southern ideals and traditions and promote southern prosperity if, in ad- dition to welcoming the stranger, we keep our own people at home. This was a matter, he said, that was hay ing the attention of the Southern Railway company. Through the Southern railways land and industrial department all the company's agencies were working, he said, for southern development. This matter of keeping southerners at home, Mr. Harrison further remarked, was one in which every man could help. MT. Harrison s address will have a far-reaching eff feet for good Southern people are less disposed to migrate than they were a few years ago. There was a great movement of the population from the south to the west soon after the war, and this movement continued steadily up to a recent time. Accord ing to the last census report 2,25S,851 natives of the south were living out side of the south
 It is reasonable to think that mi grafton from the south will be d negligible quantity from now on. Southern progress is so strongly in evidence that opportunities for bet tering ones condition here are found on every hand. Especially is this so in the farming sections. There is no farmer in Alabama who cannot make money by tilling the soil if he has intelligence and exerts the proper effort. Agriculturally the south is now the marvel of the whole country, and is pointed to as an example of what can be done by the application of brain and brawn and moderate degree of applied science.
 The tide of modern homeseekers to- ward the south is very marked now, and before the end of the present decade Alabama's population will be materially increased by this desirable influx.

CARRIAGES AS REAL ESTATE

CARRIAGES AS REAL ESTATE From the Pittsburg Press.
 Wonders never cease in American law. Here comes a judge in our own state, trying the case of a man who entered his neighbor's garden and pinched a head of cabbage. The judge decides that it was not larceny of per sonal property at all, and hence not a basis of criminal action; but thar abbage heads are real estate and that the neighbours remedy is to bring a civil action contesting title. We have eaten garden truck-spinach and jet tuce, for instance, that tasted like real estate. But we never knew before that to steal it was not theft. And after a cabbage head is eaten, what good is the title? Now, if it had been a fran chise or an election that was stolen. It would have been less surprising in the law to have let the culprit go free; but who would ever have thought that the science of judicial hair split ting would finally be successfully in- voked to protect plain, every day cab bage thief?
