HAZEL MILLER

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
 Worst since 1ssS," says the weather bureau of this weeks Dakota blizzard This is about all that has been said. The .Dakotas are expected to have bliz- cards and bad ones. Blizzards are an accepted part of life in the Dakotas even in March.
 The blizzard of this week gave Hazel Miller her chance to do some thing in proof of her worth. It was not very much, perhaps Any other eighteen year-old school teacher might have done what Hazel did. It was only the giving of her life to save the lives of two little children.
 They were trudging home, the three of them Hazel Miller and boy and a girl They trudged till they could go no farther through the merciless gale Then they sat down in the snow. and Hazel took off her coat and wrapped it about the children who were in her care. They were found there ncee -y-.s after. The boy and girl hugged to- gether inside Hazel's warm coat were alive. Hazel was dead.
 Ryder, s. D., where this happened, Is far away. The March blizzard is some thing remote. It means little. Anyone who lives in Dakota must expect bliz yards. Perhaps 1t is the rough bliz- zardly climate that breeds girls li1s Hazel Miller.
 Not the blizzard, but this eighteen year old school mistress, has made Ryder notable. The blizzard was the worst since 1SSs." What of 1t? Only that it gave Hazel Miller her chance to die greatly and nobly and to leave name not to be forgotten in the little world of Ryder till the grandchil- dren of the children she saved shall

SOUTHERN GROWTH

From the St. Louis Globe Democrat.
 As far as official census figures have been published, southern cities are growing faster than those in the Ohio valley. Louisville's increase in the past ten years was 4.s per cent, as was also that of Paducah. at the mouth of the Tennessee river and near the mouth of the Ohio. Macon, Ga, and Chattanooga, Tenn, show up much more strongly, with gain in both since 1910 of 29 per cent. Chattanoo- ga now has a total of 57,000 and Ma con of 52,000, though both considered themselves almoset wrecks at the end of the civil war Macon's population in 1870 was under Il, 1,000, and that of Chattanooga was barely 5000. Both are railroad centers, and both are in larfe navigable rivers not yet ade- ing interests are important. They are in touch with southern coal, iron and steel interests. to which Alabama is indebted for it's largest city. that even had no existence until the civil war.
 What is called the old south Is do- ing well and evidently adding to its population faster than adjacent lati- tudes farther north. It is 8 striking example of recuperation after an ex- hausting war. What the Confederates called money was thrown away. So was the currency in France after it's red terror of a century and quarter ago. Such loss, it is demonstrated, is not fatal But to come back an or dered government and industry must be restored. The problems of today are not less hopeful

Outlook Improving

''The uncertain and dubious interna- tional situation has been broken dur ing the past week by the not wholly unexpected news of the German revo- lution." said Henry Clews of New YN.k.
 This 1t might have been predicted would produce an unfortunate reflex effect upon the financial market. but instead of that the outcome of the an- nouncement has been of a minor na- ture. Much more attention has been given to the backing and filling in our own Senate on the treaty ques- tion, but even that has become so fa- miliar as to arouse only a secondary interest

Hohenzollerns Charged
 With Financing Kapp

MoRE light is thrown on VOn QVl Kapp's disastrous attempt to restore the old regime in Germany in a dispatch from Berlin to the New York Times.
 Although it was indignantly de- nied that the royal exiles in Holland had any hand in the plot, the Times correspondent says the former Kaiser gave Won Kapp one million dollars with the object of having his son, Frederick William, placed on the throne. Wilhel.a had no illusions re- rarding himself, we are told, put he was persuaded by emissaries from Berlin that the time was about ripe for a coup which would revive the monarchy. It was represented to Will helm that a little Prussian energy would turn the trick.
 1 With the money at their disposal the conspirators bought the services of mercenary officers and there were, lof course, glowing promises of fayors in the future.
 According to the Times corres- pondent, the revolution was prs,ipi-

sF F Politics Senatorial And Presidential.

E7f7 HE presidential campaign is be-
 ginning to warm up, but thus far there has been less interest in either party than usual at the ap- proach of the. national conventions.
 There is much more stir in Ala bama's senatorial politics than in the contest for the presidency With two senators to be chosen and with many aspirants in the field it is nat ural that animated discussions should be in evidence.
 Great national issues will be threshed out in the presidential race, but in regard to our senatorial con- test, prohibition plays the chief part. The question of "wet" or "dry" was supposed to have been settled, but not so. The Anti-Saloon League was never DuSleT III AldDdiud Illdll lt io now.
 The contest for the late Senator Bankheads seat is already develop ing bitter feeling and it is not yet we'll under way. Of the five candi- dates for the vacancy, four have sharpened their pens and are writing vigorously. The fifth will soon make himself heard on the stump. Before the date of the primary, May Il, all the aspirants for the vacancy will have on their war paint, and the fol lowers of the different candidates will be worked up to white heat. As for Senator Underwood's can didacy, less acrimony is promised Underwood is going to be the nomi- nee; but from now on, earnest work will be done for all the would-be cen ators.

that Half million head of cattle, to mention but one item, were brought to market in the caravan season.
 Pushing on to Timbuktu. Malfante's host was the brother of captain of desert industry, man of great wealth, and possessed of trade information concerning all of north Africa. From him Malfante learned of sueh flour ishing places as Teghazza, famous for it's salt mines, and unique for its arch itecture. The houses were made of rock salt Malfante noted that 1t never rained there, or the houses would have melted away.
 Another town was famous for It's magicians. It was attacked by numer- ous troops from the south under the King of Dahomey Fifty Mohamme dan defenders took refuge on a hill and by night they were enclircled by hu- man cordon, which, lit by camp fires, looked like a girdle of flame. They thought themselves lost. Their king was magician. He proposed duel with his opponent in which both of them sould be transformed into goats.

What If Is

Did you ever get d glass of milk in restaurant" asked Dr. J. D. Bowling yesterday "and as YOU nearly emptied the glass see dark sediment in the bottom. not unlike finely ground pepper? Certainly you did; it is not an unusual occurrence.
 Reports have been received at the department of health about this from
 time to time. and some such specimens have been examined under a micro
 scope.
 Some times the dark sediment has proven to be dust, sometimes just plain earth. in both instances a germ car rier, but in most cases the dark mat ter Is merely dried manure that sticks to the cows sides when she lies down and is flicked into a milk pail by her tail while she Is being milked. Tt is not pleasant to say such things, but they are better known than neglected They indicate that the

EVOLUTION

Deep in the gloom of a fireless cave, When the night fell OCT the plain, And the moon hung red OCT the river
 bed,
 We mumbled the bones of the splain. I flaked a flint to cutting edge, And shaped it with brutish craft; broke a shank from the woodland
 dank,
 And fitted it. head and haft. Then hid me close to the deedy tarn, Where the mammoth came to drink; Through brawn and bone l drove the
 stone
 And sler him upon the brink. Loud howled through the moonlit
 wastes,
 Loud answered our kith and kim From west and east to the crimson The clan came trooping in. Der joint and gristle and padded hoof We fought, and clawed and tore. And. cheek by jowl.< with many growl We talked the marvel OCT. I carved that fight on a reindeer bone. With rude and hairy hand; I pictured his fall on the cavern wall That men might understand. For we lived by blood, and the right o1 might, l Ere human laws were drawn, | And the Age of Sin did not begin | Till our brutal tusks were gone. | And that was a million years ago. | In time that no man knows; Yet here tonight in the mellow light, l We sit at Deimonico's; Your eyes are deep as the Devon 1 springs, 1 Your hair is as dark as jet Your years are few, your life is new,
 Your soul u3tried. and yet And the scarp of the Purbeck flags; We have left our bones in the Bagshot
 stones
 And deep in the Coraline crags; Our love is old, our lives are old,
 And death shall come amain; Should it come today, what man may
 We shall not live again? God wrought our souls from the
 Tremadoc beds, And furnished them wings to fly; He sowed our spawn in the worlds dim
 And know that 1t shall not die. Though cities have sprung above the graves | Where the crook -boned men made
 war
 And the ox-wain creaks OCT the buried
 caves 1 Where the mummied mammoths are. Then as we finger at luncheon here, Ger many dainty dish. Let us drink anew to the time when

At the Kiwanis luncheon the other day I asked a friend of mine.' said pr. R. N. Baker. county superintendent of education, If he had planted his spring garden. and he replied:
 "T have quit lying about my gar den for as matter of fact my wife looks after it altogether and the only time I see the vegetables is when they are served at dinner
 He then back free on me by ask ing:
 "'Have you planted yours?
 Being an honest man. I had to come clean like he had done and own up that mine had not been planted for the simple reason that Mrs. Baker had not yet recovered from rre flu.
 We were both reminded of the old man who. when Mrs. Mathis was speaking In the interest of war gar dens, after she had finished and was at the question answering stage, got up and said:
 "T have been in favor of having a garden for the past twenty years. but my wife was too durned lazy to plant one.'"

UNDERWOOD AND rRoH1BIT1oNIsrs

 The whole state of Alabama should know that Birmingham is pleased with the record of Oscar Underwood in Washington. The three great dalies of that city, The Age-Herald, the News and the Ledger, have come out in sup port of his candidacy for reelection to the Senate of the United States. Two clements in the state are opposed to him. The prohibitionists, because he voted and worked against the prohibi- ton amendment to the federal constitu- ton, and the labor leaders, because he voted for the Esch- h-Cummins railroad bill, which the unions had commanded him and his brother senators not tc vote for-Mobile Register.

 By Langdon Smith, MNT HEN you were tadpole and WW I was a fish, Wv In the paleozoic time, And side by side on the ebbing tide
 We, sprawled through the ooze and
 slime, Or skittered with many caudal flip
 Through the depths of the Camoian
 fen, Nv heart was rife with the joy of life, For I loved you even then. Mindless we lived and mindless we
 loved,
 And mindless at last we died; And deep in a rift of the Caradoc drlIt
 We slumbered side by side. The world turned on in the lathe of
 time,
 The hot lands heaved amain, Till we caught our breath from the
 womb of death
 And crept into light again. We were Amphibians. sealed and tailed,
 And drab as a dead mans hand; We coiled at ease meath the dripping
 trees Or trailed through the mud and sand, Croaking and blind. with our three clawed feet Writing language dumb With never a spark in the empty uarh To hint at life to come. Yet happy we lived, and happy we loved, And happy we died once more; Our forms were rolled in the clinging mold l Of a Neocomian shore. The cons came and the cons fled, And the sleep that wrapped us fast i Was riven away in a newer day, And the night of death was past Then light and swift through the jun gle trees l We swung in our airy flights, | Or breathed in the palms Of the 1rono- | ed palms i In the hush of the mooniess nights 1 And oh. what beautiful years were {: these, i When our hearts chung each to each I When life was filled ands our senses
 thrilled In the first faint dawn of speech. Thus life by life, and love by love,
 We passed through the cycie'
 strange. And breath by breath, ana ueath p' death, We followed the chain of change. | Till there came time in the law O
 life When over the nursing sod The shadows broke, and the soul awok' In strange. dim dream of God 1 I was thewed like an Auroch bull, And tusked like the great Cave Bear And you, my sweet. from head to fee Were gownsd in your glorious hail
