SHOPPERS THRoNG
 THE STREETS.

There were throngs of holiday shoppers along the downtown avenues yesterday and at times the sidewalks were almost impossible. The cabs, the private car riages, the automobiles and the delivery wagons came frightfully near colliding, but there were no serious accidents re- ported, and the day was ideal for the Christmas shoppers. They represented all classes and conditions from the wo- man enveloped in her rurs and driving in her luxurious carriage, to the wo- man, who threw a wistful glance at this well gowned creature. from the world of wealth and fashion. Crowds of little ones made the avenues very bright and picturesque and even the impatient cab men and the street car motormen paused at the street crossings of the streets to allow the children sufficient time to reach a place of safety. Even the wealth CT man was considerate and the children reveled in the sunshine of a perfect win ters day Groups of them stood for hours in front of the big shop windows. where many devices were arranged to ..--t.. 5.r..

Scenes and Incidents of Season That Brings Good Cheer All
 Good Weather Favors Throngs of Shoppers.

but there were many thoughtless de- mands made upon the postofiice clerks
 All day the crowds filed in and out, and mailed letters and parcels.
 Back in the little place where the letters and parcels are dropped a man was kept busy carrying them to the stamping department. As fast as he would carry one armful away the little place would resound with the fall of many packages. They were pushed through that little opening above which is marked Packages" and conveyed as fast as possible to the mailing depart ment. There were thousands of them, some tied with cards, others with ribbon, and looking very fancy. But they were all interesting, and each one represented kind thought for others. The man who weighed each little package would have had a difficult task had he attempted to weigh the happiness they will bring to the recipients.

CELERY COMES
 FROM CALIFORNIA,

The first car load of California celery to reach Birmingham this season was unloaded yesterday. There will be an- other car load in today Kalamazoo used to be the leader in celery but the Cali fornia product Is now more highly es- teemed. Commission merchants find no trouble in getting dollar a bunch for it. The freight on car load of fresh fruit or vegetables from California to Birming- ham is $4s8. This may seem a heavy tariff, but 1t is not when ice charges are included, and when fast time Is made. Perishable goods come from California to this city in six days. The freight from Kalamazoo to Birmingham Is only $50 per car load, but merchants say they find 1t more profitable to pay $43s per car when 1t comes to California celery.
 Game was scarce in Morris avenue two weeks ago. but it was perhaps never more plentiful than 1t is this week. Rab- bite are fat and juicy, venison and bear meat are more than ever gamey, and birds are plump and tempting. Thous- ands of rabbits were disposed of in Bir- mingham yesterday. One merchant handled nearly 800 and some other mer- chants he thought did as well as that and maybe better.
 The rush will be over before dark this evening and tomorrow the merchants and their clerks and porters will have a rest. Every store will be closed.

~4 IS estimated that between ten II and twelve thousand turkeys will Jl be served at Christmas dinners <S in greater Birmingham. As one turkey will satisfy ten persons, twelve thousand will represent population of 12O, O,0O0
 Monday Is usually dull day with the commission trade of Morris Avenue, but yesterday was an exception to the rule, and tomorrow promises to be record breaker. Turkeys, game, eggs and veg etabies were in abundant supply all day Monday and toward night the receipts were exceptionally large.
 Many comm ission merchants opened their places of business as early as o'clock yesterday morning and by every store in the avenue was open. All of them will be open before 5 this morning. Seven o'clock Is the regular opening hour.
 Some persons have an idea that Thanksgiving is as much of turkey day as Christmas. but this is far from being true. While turkey is in demand for Thanksgiving three. times as many of these popular birds are cooked on Christ mas day as on any other day of the year. On Thanksgiving only well to do people indulge in turkey, but at Christmas nearly every body, poor as we'll as rich, black as we'll as white, has a fill of the toothsome fowl.
 Dressed turkeys are in most active de- mand, but live ones are also quick sellers just now. The latter bring cents pound at wholesale, dressed article 12 cents. One firm alone will dispose of 2,OOO dress ed turkeys this week.
 Eggs are still in brisk demand at 25 cents, but the price will decline after tomorrow.
 Apples and vegetables are in excel lent condition this week, and while every thing Is in demand. quotations are about the same as they were early in the month. .-'

CHILDREN PAY
 VISIT TO TOYLAND,


 The children who crowded toyland yes
 bled to every one, to each other. of what
 they wanted for Christmas.
 In front of a large beautiful doll two
 children paused, unconscious of what a
 contrast they made. One was like lit
 tie girl out of a book. She had golden
 curls and big brown eyes, and she wore
 little brown velvet cloak and white
 silk hood. The other was poorly clad,
 the thin little dress of cotton. the shoes
 worn, the little ragged felt hat, a Ca-
 sette In real life. The luxurious little
 beauty wended her way out and was lift ed into a luxurious carriage. Casette trudged wistfully alpng the avenue. Among the little vendors near the out
 skirts of the city wbs a lad selling fire works. He had met with unusual suo- cess. He was buoyant confident. It was his first Christmas money. And now here
 is the sad part of it--one of life's little tragedies. There was small bonfire and everything that he boy possessed was burned, even to thel savings of the day.
 It occurred just aboht dusk, and passen-
 gers on an incoming car witnessed the lads distress He was a little waif of the street like those painted by Marie
 Baskertstepp. But he had a nature that could not bear up heroically, and he broke down. Just ht the moment when he realized that everything had been swept away his little heart broke and he was like fearful silhouette. The car stopped only long enough for the passen- gers on the platfotm to take in the sit uation
 Human sympathy Is automatic. The boys distress struck chord in the hearts of those who saw him. There was hardly a word spoken. but some one tossed him a com, then another, until the little fellow looked up bewilderingly. Santa Claus was little ahead of sched-
 ule time-that was all.
 HOLIDAY RusH AS
 SEEN IN PoSToFFIcE. Something of the holiday rush may
 be imagined when 1t is known that fif- teen thousand patcels were received at the postofice ytsterday. Postmaster Hughes said that the postoffice clerks had not been as busy in years. It was interesting to watch the groups
 of men, women and children gathered
 about the big table in the carridor where
 thousands of stamps were being sold in order to facilitate the work. At times
 there was such a lush that every thing
 would have becomt hopelessly confused.
