A PLEA FOR
THE DUMB CREATURES.

The following communication has been
received by the Woman's Department:
81 wonder II this busy, busting to be
rich, powerful and progressive city of
Birmingham is content to go on taking
a second place in the great humanitarian
movement that Is in all the cities preva-
lent? Is not looking after God-given life,
that of man and beast, the first and most
important charge of those in authority
in every municipality. After the protec-
ton of human life does not the protec-
ton of the dumb creation come next?
Yes; above everything else in Importance,
surely If it is granted to be of secondary
Importance give 1t that place. If 1t is
only a side issue In Birmingham, let her
not hope to keep pace with greater, big
ger-hearted. wider-visioned cities, who,
in their glorious march of progress, deem
it not too small a thing to offer protec-
ton to even the humblest of Gods Great
ures, to say nothing of the sole medium
of the business world--the faithful horses
and mules that haul the city's traffic and
draw her heavily ladened carts of earth
and stone Do these contractors who do
the city's work secure bosses who look
after the stock or are they more cruel
than the black hands who drive them, re-
peating what ! heard of one of them:
Beat the mule 10 ueatn IL necessary we
can get another but get the load up the
hill" Can we tamely submit to this bar
barity?
"Will the committee froyl the city
council grant the very reasonable request
of the humane society and give them an
officer for this work and aid the police,
also commissioned to make arrests when
needed?
"Will they pass this matter over light
ly, thinking there are only a few who
care now; perhaps later, when there is a
more influential backing the measure will
look more important and will be granted.

Mobile, August S0.-(Special.)-A most

nounced their vows and received the

Brady of Warrington.
The following are the happy religious
who enjoyed this privilege:
Sister Mary Philomena Mccormack,
Sister Mary Fidelis Duvane, Sister Mary
Inez Kicker. Sister Estelle Fottren.
The Right Rev. Bishop addressed the
newly professed in a few beautiful and
well-chosen words, taking as his text
the words which our Lord spoke to His
apostles: Unless you become as little
children you cannot enter the kingdom
of heaven" He spoke Of the obedience
which the sisters must render to their
superiors as obedience is the corner
stone of the religious life And what
grander model could they have than Him
whom they have chosen as their spouse
Jesus Christ who is their first beginning
and their last end He spoke, too, of
how every work OF a religious must be
well done. no self-seeking in anything

JUST FIFTY YEARS Ago.

The following article written by IAN
old lady" was received the past week by
the superintendent of the womans de-
partment. 1t was selected as the best
received during the week, in the con-
test for the best article on the womans
department These articles must con-
tain 800 words, and be signed with flc-
titious name the real name and the adj
dress of the writer to be in a separate
envelope addressed to Mrs. J. B. Reid.
Back In the fifties, in the good old an
tibellum lays, the progressive planters
ard commercial men of the county Of
P. Alabama, organized an Agricultural
Fair association. which met at the town
of B., and continued in session four
lays.
Every department was well filled and
the wives and daughters encouraged
their husbands and fathers by their pres
ence and exhibits in the woman's de-
partment
''The writer was only Miss. but her
mother encouraged her to place on exhi-
bition In the womans department some
of her needle-work. 70 her surprise, she
received a gold thimble as a premium
The premiums were all gold and silver
articles Of usefulness. This was encour-
agement to improve her handiworlS, and
when the war closed and a neighboring
county organized a fair, she again placed
work on exhibition In the womans de-
partment. Having advanced to her
teens" and her exhibit being more elab-
crate, she received a handsome premium.
When the state fair was organized in
Montgomery she contributed an exhibit
and received a premium in money. The
following year she competed for the
largest and best collection of fancy-work
without success but received a premium
on a single article. Since the associa-
ton moved to Birmingham, she has con-
tributed to the womans department at
various times and has often been encour-
aged by receiving the blue ribbons"
Her experience and observation in these
long years prove that the woman's de-
partment is an excellent incentive to her
sex.
Feeling confident that the woman's
department of the state fair of 1917. at
Birmingham. under the management of
its esteemed superintendent, Mrs J. B.
Reid. will not fan behind its predecessors,
but be an lnducement to Alabama's fair
women to bring forth the best they can
produce in all the departments of wo-
mans work she will again contribute

TO LITTLE CARRIE FEAGIN.
The prettiest plaything that l know
Is a dear little babe to upward throw;
To jolt and jostle on heart and knee,
and carry about from flower to tree.
oh, there is something wondrous wise
That looks from the window Of baby eyes
Whenever they front the sunset glow,
And under the voice of a song bird go.
And there are wonders strange and grand
All round the border of baby-land
The beautiful butterfly toys are there
And mountains of candy everywhere.
The stars up yonder, 1, 2, 8, 5,
Are little gold bees from money hive--
The nursery lamp to a bonfire turns,
And all night long 1t burns and burns.
While baby sleeps and I would guess
That a fairy passed in spangled dress,
And, throwing a kiss from the moonlit
glen,
Has dented our little darling's chin.
little dreamed when I held her close
On my knee in that old sweet day.
That Time, in his merciless flight would
pause,
10 pedr the DaDy loved away.
Bear her away like budding rose
That the morn has promised noon,
When all of life was a theme of joy,
And earth was set to a rhyming tune.

To and fro in the waning light
That the angels watched and waited

Counting the years for my babys flight.

For out of my reach my darling lies.

Kitchener Making Desperate Efforts
70 Get Dewet,

London, Jan. 15.-Perhaps the most
important point in Lord Kitchener's
weekly report. dated johannesburg,
Monday, Jan. 10, is the omission of all
mention of General Dewet, from which
it is deduced that the British com
mander-in-chief is more than usually
hopeful of effective results from his
present efforts to surround Dewet.
Since the disaster at Z~eefontein strong
British columns have ben persistently
logging Dewet's force, while armored
trains have prevented him from cross
ing the railroad line and have forced
him northward. Lord Kitchener is
supplying Dewet's pursuers with re-
lays and remoInts.
Lord Kitchener reports that since
Jan. 6 20 Beers have been killed, 9
wounded and % captured and that 95
have surrendered.
Lord Kitchener, in a dispatch from
johannesburg, dated Monday, Jan. IS.
reports the narrow escape of General
Botha from capture by General Bruce
Hamilton. Hearing of the c%oncentra-
ton of Beers at Knapdar Bruce-Hamil-
ton went to the spot, but only to find
the Beers had been given the alarm
and that 400 of them were trekking,
three miles distant, with General
Botha, in a Cape cart, leading. Bruce.
Hamilton chased the Beers for seven
miles until his horses gave out and
captured 80 Beers and quantities of
ammunition and stock.

MILLIONS FOR THREE.
Duluth Men Win Suit Fought Eighteen
Years. :

Duluth, Jan. 15.-The decision of the
United States supreme court in the
case of the Midway company against
Frank Eaton created quite a sensation,
and well it might, for it is not every
day, even here, that three m~illionaires
are created in a single day.
The decision, which confirms the de-
cision of former Judge S. H. Moer of
the district court of Duluth and the
supreme court of Minnesota, makes
Frank W. Eaton, Leonidas Merritt and
Richard H. Pagan of Duluth and
George ]. Lonstorf, SOL of the late
Nicholas Lonstorf of Milwaukee, each
of them m~illionaires by a comfortable
margin. These gentlemen are the
owners in fee simple of the 800 acres
in 30-60-11 involved in the case, and it
is worth from six to eight million dol
lars, according to the estimate of one
of the men who will profit by the de-
ciSiOn. @E
