actually arose and gave the child his seat
He slender child, tall for his age,
and with wonderful dark eyes that were
full of frankness and friendliness.
AT that moment however, he was full of
himself of the glory of his costume, of the
intoxication of 1t all.
He was little innocent masquerading as
"Mephisto." He wore a domino OF vivid
crimson, the shade that Lewis Morrison
wears in Faust" It was fastened snugly
about his throat and reached to his shoe
tops. His short, brown curs were entirely
hid by Mephisto cap surmounted by two
long tops that gave the appearance of
"pricking up his eors" at every turn OF
tho little fellows head.
Over this brilliant garb an English tweed
ovarcoat had been drawn. 1t was unbut-
toned and gave quite a swagger little air to
tn ecostume. Tho child companion in regi-
mentals iTnplored him to button the coat,
but the wind whizzing against the car Win
dows was not more needless
What night for little lad to be out!
When the lights in the heart of the city
began to shine against the windows, The
child turned his brown eyes toward the
crowded streets The doors to the car re-
manned open and the wind was piercing.
Presently the little innocent said, II am
very hot" and began pulling off his over
coat.
His friend In the regimentals laughed.

ment he stood resplendcnt in his crimson
domino, the observed of all observers.
Such brilliant little figure that he was!

FORTUNATE HELP
Il The UNFORTUNATE
Work of Relieving Distress Con-
tinued Yesterday.
WARM WEATHER WELCOMED
Sad Plight of a Widow Living in a
Twelfth Alley House-Had No
Fuel for Providing a
Fire.

The work of relieving the poor families
who are suffering for want of fuel, food and
clothes is progressing nicely, and the num-
Der of cases reported yesterday was consid-
erably smaller than the day before. Very
few contributions were received at the Age
Herald Office, but what came was distrib-
uted to good advantage
The contributors yesterday were: Mrs. R.
S. Simpson, rolled oats; George G. Adams
81; no name, clothing; NJ. N. Anderson,
clothing.
Tho United Charities, Mercy Home and
the two missions are still at work and doing
every thing In their power to assist the
poor.
The Age-Herald was notified of one case
of a destitute family in Twelfth alley, near
Twenty-first street last night. A poor widow
lives there with her daughter, and the fam
lily Is in dire need of assistance. Her son,
who was the mainstay of the househould,
died about two weeks ago, and since then
she has been left entirely without support.
Not one lump of coal is left, and the house
presents cold and desolate spectacle.
Very little money is left of the charity
fund, but Miss Hurley, the matron of the
Mercy Home, has been notified that some
money can be furnished her, and she will
attend to the case today.
Tho Pentacostal mission has succeeded
in rigging up an old gasoline stove and is
serving hot coffee and soup to the hungry
ones. The visitor who called was invited to
taste the soup, and found 1t very whole
some. The Rev. Mr.. Pike says if he could
get few more vegetables a more substan-
tial quality of soup could be made. He
has in all about fifty sleeping cots or hunks,
and has them occupied nightly.
Tho Seven Day Adventists have much
better facilities for cooking food, and are
feeding a large number of men. These mis-
sions are forced to charge a small sum for
this food and lodging, as house rent and
other expenses have to be met.
Nearly all calls for assistance are quickly
answered, and the different places interest
ed in charity work would be glad If notified.
Since the cold weather has somewhat
abated there will probably not be as much
suffering and restitution, but the benevo-
lent work of the many organizations will
not be stopped until every one is Temporal
riy provided for

Washington Letter to the Chicago Intel
Ocean.
Colonel Charles DENLY, the former min
lister to China, and member of the war COM
mission, sat chatting with a group of gan-
tlemen in the lobby of the Arlington hotel
preached with the question: Colonel, did
you get the wrong hat when you left the;
dining-room?
Certainly" said Colonel DENLY. II have
had the wrong hat for week. Some fellow
carried off my old hat last week and left a
new one in its place. 1t provoked me, for
that old hat had hole in the top burned by
a cigar 1 could always identify my hat by
the hole, and then 1t looked as though it
might be bullet hole, the result Of the
war. But that hat Is gone, and have had
the wrong hat ever since"
But, colonel, have you the same wrong
hat?" persisted the waiter. There's man
over at the desk who thinks you have his.
hat"
The ex-minister took off the hat, looked It
over critically and then handed 1t to the
waiter with the comment: ut Is another
wrong hat: an old hat like the first, but 1t
has no hole in it. But where is my hat? Has
the other fellow got it?'
II think, colonel said the waiter, with
difidence, your hat is in your room. You
didn't wear a hat when you came down to
dinner"
And so he hadn't He left his hat in his
room to guard against furthar exchange,
and then took the first hat on the rack when
he came out Of the dining room.

" The Alabama Home"

Not a temporary stopping place that be-
longs to your landlord, but home Not a
section of tenement house, filled with
noisy children, but a home where YOU can
gather your family about you when the
days work is done and be at peace. Per-
haps you have thought that you could
never get home-that your income is too
small, and that such an investment would
be away beyond your means. Let us zee;
What do you pay for rent every month?
How much would that amount to in a year?
How much in six years? At that rate how
long would it take you to pay for home?
Now, il you really want a home, 1.-THE Ala
bama Home" Is in position to help you
immensely in the matter. You can get the
money to build on time and pay off the loan
in monthly installments, the payments
being but little more than you now pay for

would. Come and talk to me.

~THE PLAYS


Notwithstanding the Indictment weather
the Aubrey Dramatic company played to a
packed house at yesterdays matinee and
a large crowd greeted last nights perform
ance. Owing to the great popularity this
popular price organization is gaining the
management of the opera house has So
cured them for another week, commence
ing Tuesday night. They will have to lay
over Saturday and Monday nights. as two
other companies are already booked for
those nights. Having cancelled their en-
gagement ahead for next week. the com
pany will jump from here to Little Rock
Ark.
Dangers of a Great City" was put on
last night, and the numerous scenic effects
in which this play abounds were as good
as has ever beeen produced in Birming-
ham by popular price show.
Miss Bayers did some especially good
work in the third act in the role of anna
teur detective, changing from a Bowery
tough to a nun very cleverly. The special
ties were good.
The performance as a whole was decid-
edly of the blood and thunder variety, but
very much enjoyed by the audience.
sUnder the Red X b."
''Under the Red Robe" the greatest dra-
matte success known in New York for
many years will be the attraction here on
Saturday evening. 1t comes to us imme-
diately after its pronounced triumph at the
Empire theater. William Morris, the ster-
ling young romantic actor who created so
many important roles under Charles Froh-
mans direction, will head large organiza-
ton of competent actors. That the popular
demand FOR romance in novels and on the
stage is not waning is apparent in the sue
cess which Under the Red Robe has
achieved. Ever since 1.-THE Prisoner of Zen
da' set the fashion. In response to many
requests Charles Frohman gave several re-
vival performances of Under the Red
Robe" at the Empire theater recently, and
the furore they created was tremendous.
Prompted by the reception given these re-
vivals, he determined to repeat the piece in
few other cities, and the performances
here will no doubt be thoroughly appreci-
ated. The Weyman-Rose drama was not
only the greatest popular and financial tri-
umph in the history of the Empire theater,
but it was also the greatest artistic achieve
ment of the company. A delightful, bril-
liant, many-sided performance, the COM
pany's telling of Stanley Weymans story
really enhanced the charm of the book it.
SELF Wherever played it delighted its au-
diences and paved the way for future sue
cessful visits of this organization. This is
going to be the last chance theater-goers
will have to see Under the Red Robe"

A Little Innocent
Masquerading as Mephisto

The vanity of an Easter morning belle
was completely overshadowed a night or
two ago by a little lad who went in town on
a Highland car He was lifted from the
snow-covered sidewalk by a friend of his,
who was himself in regimental array The
gold lace and braids and other insignia of
an army officer that even in times like
, these, have not become less conspicuous.
or less striking, were, on this occasion, SUBJ
ordinate to the paraphernalia of little
lad, who pushed his way down the aisle of
the car. There was not man, or woman,
in the car but who instinctively made room
for the little fellow, and a great tall man
