From the Clubwoman: The literary
editor OF the New York Press says the
best short stories Of the past year were
with few exceptions written by women,
and appeared in The Black Cat. 1t 10
gratifying to The Clubwonan, as it must
be to every other woman, to know that
the women whose work appears in Bos-
toms popular story periodical are hand
somely and promptly paid. When one
receives from 500 to $500 apiece for sto-
ries covering but half a dozen magazine
pages, story writing becomes not only a
pleasure, but q decided profit. Among
the bright young women who received
the above sums from The Black Cat for
recent stories are Miss Joanna Wood and
Miss Belts Edwards, of Philadelphia;
Juliet Tompkins and Miriam Nicholson,
San Francisco; Mary Foote Arnold, OF
Terre Haute, Indiana Salle Pate Steen,
South Enid, Oklahoma.
The Press devotes nearly two columns
of praise to the new departure in the
storytelling art, which this fascinating
magazine inaugurated, and adds that no
publication has done 80 much for I'M
known writer's and for the great body of
intelligent people who read and who love
good story for the story's sake and not
for the authors sake.
The telling of clever story is neither
numbered among the lost arts nor con-
fined to dozen literary lions whose mas
ter works went begging and whose latter
day writings, no matter how common
place, find ready acceptance by those
publishing houses that still purchase
fame rather than merit. Recognizing
this commonplace truth, the publishers
Of The Black Cat began prize story
competition under which the writer's OF
accepted stories receive from 800 to $500
in cash. They believe that there are
thousands of men and women unknown
to literary fame, who, if given the oppor.
tunity and proper reward, can write as
good stories as have ever been written
Any one, therefore, who has good story
to tell, should not fail to embrace the OPP
portunity thus presented. All should
bear in mind, however, that no manu-
script will be considered at all unless it
is sub nitted in accordance with the con-
ditions published in The Black Cat, a
copy of which may be had of almost
any newsdealer, or will be mailed for
cents by the Shortstory Publishing Com
pany, OF Boston. The competition closes
in March.

Children At the Mercy Home
 Will Have a Christmas Tree

The various charitable organizations in the city feel especially at Christmastide the responsibility of remembering the poor, and peeially emphasized, since they help to direct the work of individuals in the mat ter of distribution.
 Especially does the Creche feel an obli- gation of more than ordinary nature in regard to the children under its care at the the Creche to arrange a Christmas tree at the home for the pleasure of the little ones under its roof, and they shall again be re- membered this year.
 At the last meeting of the Creche a com mittee was appointed to look after the tree, which will be arranged Saturday afternoon at the home, corner of Eleventh avenue and Twenty-first street, North. The ladies request that all charitably inclined people who wish to send donations for the tree will send them to the chairman on Friday. This request met with such generous re- sponse past years that the people of Bir- mingham will need only a reminder of this custom of the Creche. The simplest re- membrance at this time will make season of happiness for these little ones, and in the remembrance of them lies the recogni- tion of that principle upon which all our Christmas observance rests.
 Mrs. Charles b. Carper, the chairman of the committee on arrangements, calls a meeting of her committee for Saturday morning at 10 o'clock at the home, and she requests that all contributions be sent to her at MT. William Redd's home on Friday.

Universal Love.

Love is the fulfilling of the law" says the apostles of the Gentiles, and the Brah- mus teach that "Creation is the infinite pay of love-" Human reason, when exercised upon the why's and wherefores of crea- ton, Is forced to the conclusion that the Author of the Universe can have but one motive in creating-love of performing the act. love for the product of the action. Love, love- love, everywhere and always
 In the religion of the Orient no less than in that of the Occident, and in the colder re- gions of philosophy, of logic and of science do we find love always love. For what is that great law of nature discovered by Newton but the law of the attraction or gravity? q use that word (attratclon) said Newton, ito signify any force by which tend to one another" Can it be possible that bodies would tend to each other If they did not love one another? Daily do We grow in the knowledge that there is but one law The spangled heavens above our heads are not governed by law superior to the clod beneath our feet. The beauties re- vealed by the microscope are not inferior to those discovered by the telescope. AL
 all, reveal the same force of attraction, are governed by the one law of love. We live and move and have our being in an ocean of Infinite Love; as the tide ebbs and flows Instructions near the shores of Time cause eddies and ripples to form, and these we may designate as affection and friendship.
 Two currents flow from different direc- tions, the one coming from a cold climate
 the other from a warm one; the law of equalization causes them to rush Together and the whirlpool of passion is thereby created. Woe to the object that falls with in this vortex! Rosalind says of this love that it Is merely madness" and "de- serves as well dark house and a whip, as mad men do, and the reason why they are not so punished and cured is that the lu- macy is so ordinary that the whippers are in love, too" What Rosalind uttered in jest others have taught in all seriousness. In the affections and passions the personal element enters. Universal love has become individualiZeu. In time the individualiza- ton disappears. Passions subside, affec- tions fade away and universal love is all in all. Paul tell us: Love never faileth; but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away $ And now abideth faith
 hope and love, these three, but the greatest

It Is dangerous | business, for few men are equal to hand l ling fire unburnt.
 Just a word more, and this time in con- graduation, to the young men and women of America-for the blessed privilege they enjoy of seeing each other frankly and openly without such dsagreeabl and sus- picious spionage prevails in Continental society, which of itself Is enough to lower the tone of any society.
 American men and women meet on basis of open honesty, trusting in each others integrity until 1t is disproved. and consequently the American man Is the purest-minded man. taken masse, that the world can produce at the end of the nineteenth century, and the American wo- man the least dangerous, showing @ lack of guile marvellous and interesting to for eigners who wonder why it is that an

Miss Dangaix Writes on
 The Subject of Kinderqar e IS

Miss Isabel Dangaix, the chairman of the Kindergarten committee, writes interesting ly upon the subject which has recently been brought before the community, and which is of such vital interest and impor- tance. In view of the meeting that Is called for tomorrow morning at the Com mercial club, the following communication is most timely:
 When our committee was in Louisville last week Investigating the Kindergarten system employed there, we were fortunate enough to meet a great many persons in- terested in the work, including the board of directors of the Louisville Kindergarten association, which supplies with skilled teachers, and practically controls the eigh- teen kindergartens of that city.
 When we told these ladies of the condi- tions that exist in Birmingham they said 1.-The very conditions that we have labored for>during twelve long years! Your people appreciative, eager to introduce the kin dergarten work for their little ones! Your board of education generous enough to do- nate the use of room!"
 Much more they said of encouragement and helpfulness, and we returned home with added enthusiasm, to suggest plans to the public.
 Did l say that all our peOple are reauy for kindergarten? There are many, alas! who look upon the Kindergarten as a day nursery, planned in order to care for the children while their mothers are occupied with other duties.
 The Kindergarten is not to supplant the mother and the home, but to cooperate with them-and it has within itself a great educative value.
 Professor Mark, superintendent of public schools in Louisville, said the other day that his actual experience with the kinder garten had been that the child was thus saved at least one-half year from his school life.
 President Harper, of Chicago university, has said "The beginning of real university work is in the kindergarten, thereby two or three years work being saved to the stu dent"
 The genuine kindergarten has this as its objective point, not the cramming of knowledge, but the absorbing of ideals and habits which are for the good of the in- dividual and his fellow-beings.
 The kindergarten Is child's world, a series of systematized lessons based upon underlying principles, which, taught through play and experience, develop the three-fold nature of the child.
 Hand in hand with the training of the child goes the training of the teacher. So. while selecting kindergartner in Louisville we were careful to find one who has had experience, not only with the children, but enc who hax also conducted Kindergarten

Birmingham.s Metropolitan Holiday Displa,

One hears many expressions of pleasant surprise from strangers visiting Birm ng- ham over the beautiful displays of holiday goods in the show windows and stores. Fly cry one says that they would be extremely creditable to a much larger city. One place that attracts almost everyone visiting the city is Colby's Art Store, 2023 First avenue. One can go in there almost any day now towns passing through the city, looking at his extensive collection of fresh novelties in pictures, such dainty little Vienna water color miniatures. the new platino prints, pastels, photogravures and etchings. Few of them go out without selecting something.

of these is love" The grim and rough phi- losopher of Chelsea commands, Love not pleasure; love God. This is the Everlasting Yae, wherein all contradiction is solved; wherein whoso walks and works it is well with him" Our calm and serene philoso- pher and poet of Concord says: We must embrace the affirmative, but the affirmative of the afirmatives is love" The beloved disciple teaches us that "God is love and he that dweleth in love dwelleth in God and God in him." "God is love-" all is God and God is all, hence, all is love.

Romantic Love.

That love which clothes all things In beauty is the love most pleasing to the gods. It is the love that questions and doubts and hopes and is at last confident. It is the love that mounts to the skies and trails clouds of glory though the boundless space of the universe of the soul. It robs diversity of its sting, and interprets the sweetest music that rolls from the cathe- dral of the infinite It plants lilies and roses and daffodils along all life's pathway, and makes radiant all the horizon of our vision.

In order to secure this valuable Kindergarten, who stands at the head of her profession in large city, and who will bring to us the system of the nrst among the new school of kindergartens Tn this country, we must ask the assistance of every man and woman in Birmingham.

DESTINATION or UTAH SOLDIERS

1t seems tolerably certain that the
two Utah batteries now in San Fran
cisco will go to the Philippines. That
was the destination for which they
left this state, and no orders have yet
been Issued to change 1t. But 1t seems
doubtful whether the troop Of cavalry
that left Utah for the same destination
and is now in San Francisco awaiting
developments, viii go there. 1t Is said
that the climate of the Philippines Ii
uncomfortable to American horses, that
suitable cavalry horses cannot be OBJ
tanned ON the Islands. and that fol
these and other reasons no cavalry will
be sent there. In this connection 1t is
further stated that the troop of caval-
ny from Utah may be assigned to gar
rison duty at some point ON the coast.
The act Of the Hawaiian government
In permitting United States war ves-
sells to take coal at Honolulu Is a viola
tlon Of the law of nations that makes
the little mld-ocean republic the foe OF
Spain, and Is regarded as another step
to It's annexation by this country, and
Its consequent occupation by American
troops. Hence the possibility that
some of the Utah volunteers, either
those who have been or those who are
to be recruited, may be sent to the Ha-
walian islands. II has been intlmated
in the dispatches that Torrey's Rough
Riders might he sent west but up to

termned is Cuba
