Bicycle circles are all agog over the great Thanksgiving races to be held at East Lake next Tuesday afternoon, un der auspices of the Birmingham Cycle club.
 The ltrack around the lake, which will be utilized as a course, is in first-elass condition, and there is no doubt that Hhe best records for the five events will be lowered over this course.
 About twenty riders will participate in the races. They have been in hard train ing for several days. and will keep it up until the races cC1ne off. The bath house ds being used as training quarters, where the boys are rubbed down after each heat. The excellent facilities that are offered at East Lake for racing 1t is be- lieved will make it a permanent course.
 Jack Cooper, the clever little ''Birming- ham Rarebit," is said to greatly resem- ble Jimmie Michael. the Welchman, both dn form and feature. Of course, the muscular development of Michael is more perfect, but Jack is young yet and may some day be "wonder."

The mistress Of q house feels that Il
u her duty-none the less clear be-
cause 1t 10 disagreeable point out
the faults Of those in her charge. says
the Philadelphia Ledger. Beginning
with the maids and ending with her
husband-or sometimes vice versa-she
thinks 1t her mission In life to nnd
and condemn imperfections. And nom
this attitude 1t is but a short step to
the position Of family "nagger"-a
character which destroys all peace and
comfort. Business men often make .
similar mistake and act upon the be-
hea that no man does his best work
unless under the constant dread Of
sarcastic and bitter fault-finding. The
work in general may be far above the
average-but that the way to keep 1t
SO is to pick flaws in every possible
weak place is the decision OF certain
minds. Because fault exists Is no
reason that it should be mentioned
~itnout regard to time or place, and
to one open to conviction 1t would not
be difficult to prove that there is wis.,
dom in allowing people to make mis-
takes unobseryed, or at any rate unre-
buked; but this wisdom can only flour.
ish In the faith that the evil Of today
Is not f1nality. No mother, for in
stance, really believes that her little
daughter is necessarily to be a life
long slattern because at - years OF age
she keeps an untidy room and her
boots are often seen without the proper
button. nor does she think that lie
in the mouth of her 3-year-old boy
condemns him to a future of fraud and
deceit. These things must be met, OF
course, but If they are met by the con-
slant inculcation OF better habits and
better principles the evil in itself
needs little or no comment. Indeed.
word Of censure withheld often is a
more effective rebuke than a storm OF
angry fault-fnding. To grow in the
wisdom Of this iudicious silence we
must first of all cultivate in ourselves
Just perception OF values and propor-
tons. we must learn what to see and
what not to see, what to leave out and
what TO put in our mental pictures. II
may be, too. that then We shall often
give sympathy where others deride, or
encouragement where the sternly just
would condemn; but We should at least
relieve those around US from a very
irritating insistence upon trifies.

To people who have looked upon
the Christian Scientists as a small and
obscure sect the attendance at the ded-
ication of their new church last Sun
day will be surprise. Ten thousand
people participated in the four SER
vices that were held during the day
and many others could not gain ad-
mission to the church. Probably a
considerable number of the attendants
were attracted by curiosity. but the
larger proportion were undoubtedly be-
levers in the Christian Science theory.
The disciples of Mrs. Eddy must there
fore be counted upon hereafter As
forming large and influential de-
nomination and one which, according
to all accounts, is gathering members
with unprecedented rapidity.

The motto of every notorious polit-
ical boss is rule or ruin" He is in
capable of genuine patriotism, but the
laws of the country in which he prac-
tices restrain him from reasonable
acts. True loyalty to political party
is likewise beyond his capacity, and
there are no laws to prevent him from
betraying honest citizens who, as
members Of a political organization,
find themselves under his leadership.
So long as he is permitted to rule In
his own party the damage he can do
depends largely upon the power Of his
party in public affairs. When he finds
that he can no longer rule in his party
he sets out to ruin it. He must have
a majority with him in order to rule;
he can ruin sometimes with minor
ity. Thus, however dangerous the po-
litical boss is to the people. he is more
dangerous to the party to which he
belongs, or which he may look upon
as belonging to him. One OF the mar
vels Of politics in this republic is that
partisanship does not. In self-defense.
overthrow the would-be party bosses
before they become strong enough to
think they can either rule or ruin.
