Little Duck" and so on all along the in-
 evitable way to the altar, for your fat man
 ever weds your wee thing. Beyond the
 altar he calls her heaven knows by what title of tenderness or word of weariness! In the long gone years fat man writ his dear, delightful, darling duck" swearing: Every time think of you my heart flaps up and down like churndasher, and sen- sations of unutterable joy caper over me like young goats running over sheets of corrugated iron, and pierce me like Span ish needles go through a pair of old tow linen trousers! Daily you are in my thoughts. When aurora bushes like young bride, and the jaybrd pipes his tuneful lay in the apple tree by the spring; when chandeliers shriII clarion heralds the approaching dawn and the grateful pig grunts his humble petition for his morning refreshment; when the dewdrop on the baby plant imprisons the last shadow of the passing night, and when the patient kline low for the peevish mikmaids magic touch,-then, o then, I think of thee, and,
 like a piece of most excellent sweetgum,
 my madly manly heart expands entirely
 across my heaving bosom, and I sigh with a sigh unspeakable!'
 There is nothing fat man won't do for a little woman. In fact, there is nothing
 that any man, fat or lean, Falstaff or
 Romeo. will not do for nestling wee thing that nestleth. O magical madness of soul!
 most men love little women and little wo-
 men love most men.
 Yet, it is the women who storm along in the conquest of human hearts concerning whom men go stark, staring mad-become raging manacs! Your superb creature may rolic and shout-most frequently she does or she may be splendidly, icily, divinely
 proud; but she storms in either case. And
 men love her for it. Men sherish even the
 privilege of sitting on the fence and seeing
 her go by She suffers the homage of her idolaters as that which is her rightful due, and, failing willing alacrity, exacts it as an empress might claim tribute of her sub
 jects. Imperious and of ever-wayward
 fancy, she keeps her courtiers dancing be-
 tween the conflicting impulses to pray, to cry joy, and to run away. They know not
 whether to try ditty or an epic, whether to cast roses at her feet or seek to crown
 her with carnations; whether to slay or to
 succor. And through it all she makes them
 miserably happy. She exalts or casts
 down, the while working her wonderous
 spell as she storms along. By and by there comes an hour and lover that calm the storming, and defiance dies in a whisper
 of infinite pathos. "I am but woman," . .-.--...-.-"-- is at the Morris. Governor Jones' visit has to do with the business of the Birmingham Realty Company.

A BAT TILE SONG

Edwin Arnold. We are they who will not falter-- Many swords or few Till we make this earth the altar Of a worship new; We are those who will not take From prelate, priest or code, A nearer law than brotherhood- A higher law than good. We are those whose unpaid legions. In free ranks arrayed, Massacred in many regions, Never once were stayed; We are those whose torn battalions, TrGaiaed to bleed. not fly, Make our agonies a triumph Conquer, wl.'e we die.
 
 Therefore down to Arp2ageddon, Brothers bold and strong, Cheer the glorious way we tread on, With a soldiers song! Let the armies of the old flags March in silent dread. Death and life are one to us, ., Who fight for quick and dead
