A Flower Girl.


 There is an attractive brown-eyed little girl in Birmingham whom many people know as the. ''Flower Glrl." She has had this soubriquet bestowed upon her, not because she is fond of flowers, but be- cause she resembles a flower, and then, too, she sells flowers in one of Birming- hams big floral establishments. To sec her sweet. soft eyes peeping at you from behind towering plant while she may be toying with long stemmed rose, Is a pretty picture and hundreds of admiring glances are bestowed upon her. She is Miss Mae Adele Robinson, and while she Is attractive anu winsome and a great little favorite, and is told many times a day that she is prettier than the roses she sells, she is very practical and busi- ness-lilke and ambitious to prove that she too. can be little business woman when occasion demands 1t.

DHs JAMES WILLIAM h1DD.
 L.srely discovered the elixir of life. That he is able with the aid of a mysterious compound, known only to himself, pro- duced as a result of the years he has spent in searching for this precious life giving boon, to cure any and every dis ease that is known to the human body. There is no doubt of the doctors earnest ness in making his claim and the re- markable cures that he is daily effecting seems to bear him out very strongly. His theory which he advances is one of req son and based on sound experience in a medical practice of many years. It costs nothing to try this remarkable "Elfxir of Life" as he calls it, for he sends 1t free. to anyone who is a sufferer, in suf- ficient quantities to convince of its abil- ity to cure so there is absolutely no risk to run. Some of the cures cited are very remarkable, and but for reliable wit nesses would hardly be credited. The lame have thrown away crutches and walked about after two or three trials of the remedy. The sick, given up by home doctors, have been restored to their families and friends in perfect health. Rheumatism, neuralgia, stomach. heart, liver, kidney blood and skin diseases and bladder troubles disappear as by magic. Headaches, backeches, nervousness, levers, consumption, coughs. colds, asth- ma, catarrh, bronchD1S and all a1Iec- tions of the throat, lungs or any vital organs are easily overcome In space of time that is simply marvellous.
 Partial paralysis, locomotor ataxia, dropsy, gout, scrofula and piles are quickly and permanently removed It purifies the entire system, blood and tissues, restores normal nerve power, circulation and a state of perfect health is produced at once. To the doctor all systems are alike and equally affected by this great Elixir of Life" Send for the remedy today. It is free to every sufferer. State what you want to be cured of and the sure remedy for 1t will be sent you free by return mail.

Has Sympathy Only for Assassin czoI
 qosz.

From the New York World.
 Chicago.-The issue of Free Society was resumed today. The leading article of the Buffalo tragedy Is penned by Emma Goldman. She writes:
 Viewer before in the history of govern ments has the sound of a pistol shot so startled. terrorized and mortified the self-satisfed, indifferent contented and indolent public as has the one fired by Leon Czolgosz when he struck down Will liam Mckinley, president of the money kings and trust magnates of the coun- try. Not that this modern Caesar was the first to die at the hands of Brutue Oh no. Since man has trampled upon the rights of his fellowman rebellious spirits have been af1oat in the atmosphere. Not that William Mckinley was a greater man than those who throned upon the fettered form of liberty. He did not com pare either In intellect, ability, personal ity or force of character with those who had to pay the penalty of their power Nor will history be able to record his extraordinary kindness, generosity and sympathy with those whom Ignorance and greed have condemned to a life of misery, hopelessnees and despair. Why then, were the mighty and DOW erful thrown into such consternation by the deed of September 6? Why this howl of hirde press? Why such bIoodthirsty V and violent utterances from the clergy. whose usual business is to preach Peace on earth, good will to all?' Why the mad rawlings of the mob, the demand for rigid laws to curtail freedom Of press and speech?
 Some people have hastily said that Czolgosz's act was foolish and will check the growth of DroRreaa rbaaa ..,ort !, ,., people are wrong in forming nasty con clusions. What results the act of Sep- tember will have no one can say; one thing, however. is certain-he has wound ed government in its vital spot"

Mrs. Roosevelt's Secretary.

A Washington correspondent announces that Mrs. Roosevelt has appointed Miss Isabella Hagner as her social secretary.

large and fresh. The spark of dramatic genius was very evident and it only need ed the orchestra, stage-setting and cos tune to complete it She excels to marked degree in the art of tone building. Her attack is prompt and full there is no glissando or climbing to reach note; she grasps it immediately firm and true and from then on modulation is to suit the occasion Her vocal compass is wide and even and her tones are pure, vibrant and fine in quality and extraordinarily full, powerful and thrilling when she em- ploys them in giving dramatic coloring and emotional expression to such num- bers as the Aria from Donzetti. The au- dience demanded an encore for each song and on two occasions she responded with so much girlish grace and with an evil dent pleasure that they constituted an added charm to a finished and most ar tistic performance" ''
 Miss Fallon will remain in Birmingham some time and will then return to Dres- den to complete her course. She is de- voted to her art and is treating it with the persistence and care that alone make the eventual artist of high degree.
