LUKE McLuKE SAYS

Youll never get a married woman woman to believe that what she doesn't know won't hurt her.
 ~oh. well. If everybody saved their money there wouldn't be any for any body to get to save.
 Why is it that a man can't have a good time unless he is being separated from his money?
 We may be finicky. But if we were a girl we would rather work in store for a livinf than live with most of the husbands we know.
 Many a man would have a whole los of alimony if he was as sweet to his own wife as he is to other mems wives.
 The men who haven't teen found out yet take a great delight in knocking the poor devil who has been found out.
 No woman was ever so absent minded that she forgot to nag her. hus- band when he got home late.
 Sparrows and dandelions are in 6 class by themselves. The more you discourage them the more you encour- age them.
 There is no use of a husband lying to his wife when she gets back from a trip out of town. She'll get all the facts from the neighbors.
 If some people would remember the answers to half the questions they ask they would have mighty good educa- tion.

From the World Outlook
 7F Mexico seems pest to us, how do
 we seem to Mexico?' queries S B. winton, in his article on 'The Other Side of the Mexico Question
 After close association with Mexicans for half a generation, pr. Winton is strongly against intervention. He an swers the question whether there will be an appeal to arms next summer over the presidential election by three reasons why, in his opinion, there will not.
 First, because Mexicans are tired Of war, of soldiers and soldering. l spent last October among them, and this was everywhere evident. They will laugh at the man who tries to upset the results of the ballot by appealing to the bullet
 Secondly, they are aware that they and their country are on trial before the world. If they cannot hold a quiet cleo ton and abide by it. then they are not civilized. Even if they were not too busy trying to get rich this would deter them from fighting each other. The belligerent candidate. if one proves to be belligerent, will find few recruits for his army.
 Third, all of the men so far men toned for the candidacy, and every other Mexican of sufficient intelligence to De rut forward as a candidate, are aware or the danger of American intervenrson- ~ur- ther serious disturbances in Mexico are likely to bring our armies down upon them They understand this.

Increased the Price

One of my pleasures when I have nothing better to do is to take mail order house catalogue and compare the prices with the ads in the Birming- ham papers" said J. A. Crow. For a time l thought I saw where one could save a bit by ordering away from Bir- mingham. but of course did not know the cost of the article with the express added, and having been stung a few times when I was much younger, l did not order anything, but merely sur missed at the difference.
 Now, I have just gotten hold of a new catalogue and thinking might learn something about mems clothes, turned to that section of the book. Imagine my surprise when the suits for young men were boldly displayed at Startling Values for $75.' Verify, this war has been felt in Chicago US well as elsewhere"

STEVENSON'S CREED

From "The Point of View" in the April
 Scribner
 0Tl HERE is a strong feeling in favor
 of cowardly and prudential pro-
 verbs. Most of our pocket wisdom is conceived for the use of mediocre people. to discourage them from ambitious attempts and generally console them in their mediocrity." The cautious person who never gets his feet wet, the ipgrained pacihst who shrinks from re- garding life as a struggle-these types awaken Stevenson loftiest scorn. "The spice of life is battle,' he cries. The friendliest relations are still kind of contest; and if we would not forego all that is valuable in our lot, we must con tinually face some other person, eye to eye, and wrestle a fall whether in love or enmity Every durable bond be- tween human beings is founded in or heightened by some element of competi- tion."
 Here is gospel with both feet planted sanely upon the ground-no sentimental vaporings about colorless existence in which struggle is crime, and2in whiost kind of weak suitability is the supreme virtue. Stevenson knew that there Is no peace without victory-victory over the

Sheep Raising Industry
 To Be Pushed in Alabama

M1O BRANCH of animal husbandry G N pays better than sheep, provided the sheep-killing dog can be kept in subjection,
 Alabama is specially well adapted to sheep growing. The grazing is rich and the climate is admirable. When crop diversification took the place of "all cotton" for the states money crop sheep were little consid- cred because of the dog menace.
 Feed crops and swine and cattle re- ceived first attention. Those did rot pay we'll at the start, but with mar keting conditions developed and pack ing houses increasing hogs have come to be great money makers, md with the aid given by the railroads to cattle and butter shipments, high class beef and high-class dairying are farm products of large and certain profit.
 Now that farm diversification has become thoroughly established in Ala bama this should soon be known as distinctly thriving mutton and wool state.
 The Southern Railway Company is devoting much of it's upbuilding en- ergy to agriculture. It was so before the government took over the rail- roads. It proposes to do even more on resuming the operation of it's lines. C. W. Humphrey, who has charge of the sheep department, is suc- cessful sheep raiser. He will address the farmers and business men of Ala bama from time to time and it is safe to assume that within the next two or three years great strides will be made in adding to the wealth of the state through this source.

pHorocRAPHiNG THE SOUL

Hereward Darlington, in Leslies
 Some years ago pr. Baraduc of f-aris attempted to photograph the soul at the moment of it's departure from the body, at death. His wife was lying upon a bed and from her body issued, at the very moment of dissolution, three white, misty balls, which, gradually condensed and consolidated into one-being bound to- gether apparently by white threads. Dr.. Baraduc took photographs, on speciany prepared plates, every fifteen minutes for three hours after death, and on all these plates obtained these markings-showing the gradual process of the withdrawal of the soul from the body, and it's final de- tachment therefrom some hours later. These photographs represent so far as we can see the first successful actual photo graphs which have been taken of the departure of the soul from the body at the moment of death.
 They are not, however, the first ''psy- ehic'' photographs which have been maae, sil.ce Dr. Durville, in France, and others. have obtained successful markings upon Photographic plates of radiations issuing from the human body. Dr. McDougall of Haverhill. Mass, also some years ago, succeeded tapparently) in weighing the soul at the moment of death. He found that it weighed about two and a quarter ounces. He placed the patient bed and all. upon a delicate balance, and. at the very moment of death. the balance showed a sudden and unaccountable loss of between two and two andNa half ounces.

 He recognized that it is the soldiers virtues that are the supreme virtues courage and sacrifice Culture without courage is an iridescent bubble; refine ment without courage is merely decad- ence. The great refinement of many poetical gentlemen" says Stevenson, has rendered them practically unfit for the iostling and ugliness of life, and they record their unfitness at considerable length" There is nothing to add to the mordant simplicity of that comment.

MAsgrove Challenge
 Creates No Alarm

! s7T0HE Huntsville Daily Times re-
 4 fers to the challenge issued by MT. Musgrove's manager for joint debate with Senator Underwood as a "bomb in the Underwood camp" If so the detonation has not been heard by the senator or any of his supporters, some of whom hear ex- t,emely well, especially in matts;s political.
 The Times is wide of the mark. Mr. Musgrove and his campaign manager knew when that challenge was hurled with heroic gesture to- ward the Underwood headquarters that there was not the slightest possibility of its being accepted. They would have been two of the most surprised men in America had MT. Hooper of Selma promptly agreed to a series of meetings The stage freight which seized the Hon. "Breck" when he essayed to make a speech in Birmingham would De as nothing compared to his feelings were he to face Senator Underwood on the stump.
 MT. Musgrove frankly acknowledged that he is not practised speaker. His maiden effort in Birmingham showed that the Jasper sage told i the truth in that particular. Neither does Senator Underwood profess to ] be an orator, but few men in public life surpass him in making log ical and convincing address. The clar- ity of his ideas is reflected in his sim ple yet forceful speeches.
 If Senator Underwood, or his ad- visers, deemed it worth while to de- bate the wet and dry issue or any other question which the Musgrovians have seized upon for campaign ma l terial, the rubious gentleman from Jasper would be annihilated.
 The challenge of Judge Foster will not be accepted for the excellent req son that it is not necessary to do so. ] Besides, Senator Underwood is need- ed in Washington. Why dignify the : Musgrove campaign by joint debates, when his reelection is assured?
