Joe Mulhatton-a first class liar or an explorer from away back
 The doctor, you know, has discovered that laziness is a germ. He has even named the bug that gets into the human system at times and makes strong men into hobos and panhandlers.
 If he is right, and he says he is, all that is necessary to give this country an impetus that will jolt it centuries ahead is to follow ncinariasis to it's lair and eradicate 1t from the human system.
 Watch your boy dress on a cold morn- ing. It takes thirty minutes to get him out of bed unless you apply lath, end when he comes down stairs he wants to eat breakfast clad in a shawl. The lazi- ness does not affect appetites. After breakfast he hunts for his shoes and daw- dies and asserts that he is going to hurry "in minute" and you just succeed Tn getting him started to school in time to save him from tardy mark.
 You have worried over that. Some mothers have tried to whip laziness out of their children and have daily won dered: T don't know what will become of Horace when he gets big if he is as slow then as he is now"
 You might apologize for the boy. Dr. Stiles says he has uncincariasis. Can't blame a boy for what he can't help. Per haps he inherited the blamed thing
 Men have it. It comes in August when the world seems content to sit in the shade and loaf and listen to the grass hoppers. It comes again in the chill days of winter, when the fire burns brightly and the biting winds howls outside.
 We are all lazy at times. It is good for us. It makes us work better when necessity spurs us on and the coal pile hears the bottom of the bin.
 In fact, lazlness for boys and men at times, is Il blessed privilege, and lNe doesn't seem to be any pressing need for pr. Stiles investigations or a remedy for uncinariasis.

Conventional Christmas.

Everybody must have turkey for Christmas, said a man n Morris avenue This custom of wanting Christmas tur- key has become conventional The poor as well as the well-to-do and the rich clamor for turkey.
 "Uusually there is enough turkey tc go round but this season finds us short on this suceulent bird. I have been lr business for nearly twenty years, and I have never known turkeys to be as scarce as they are right now. The retail price Is 20 cents. Were the price 35 cents all the stock would be taken"

L,rmInaham,s Growth.

Birmingham is remarkable city in many ways" said man in the lobby. 'It resembles Chicago, Atlanta and other modern cities of rapid growth. But 1t has enc peculiarity, or rather one dis tinguishing factor in it's growth-it has never had a big fire. l mean by this a fire which practically consumed the town. have heard many express the opinion that good fire, if 1t could be confined to certain blocks would really be a good thing for the town. Atlanta was once entirely destroyed by fire, and it has had a good many big fires since. In every instance the burned blocks have been re- built with larger and finer buildings. Chi cago, as we all know, dates it's prosperity and wonderful modern development to it's big fire. Birmingham has been singularly free from big fires the Caldwell hotel, the Moore & Handley and Saks fires be- ing the three largest in its history. There are many buildings in the heart of the business section of the city which are little better than rookeries and which if burned would be no loss to the town. They would be certainly replaced with larger and finer structures. Still, the city is not waiting for fires to aid 1t in it's development. Within the past year one steel skyscraper has been constructed, another is in course of erection, the steel frame being complete, and the third will be begun within a week. In each case where the property owner has the money to improve his property it will be done and the fact that so many of the business buildings arc rookeries makes the prop erty that much less loath to tear them down and rebuild with large buildings when he has the money to do so

Street Liqhts.

Central figure I'm Another Round of
ENTERTAINMENT.
New York. March 11.-Prince Henry
of Prussia was the central figure yes
terday in another round OF entertain
ment arranged in his honor. He first
listened to a concert at the Waldorf
Astoria hotel, largely made up of his
favorite American songs, the concert
being arranged at his request. When
that was over he drove to the Univer-
sity club to a luncheon which was not
concluded until mid-afternoon. In the
evening he was the guest at dinner of
Mr.. and Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt and
met a large party made up OF persons
of social prominence. When the prince
bade farewell 20 the company al the
Vanderbilt home he went to the New
York Yacht club for an informal recep-
ton and the hour was late when he
returned to the Waldorf-Astoria for
the night. He found time between the
four main events or his for
the day TO receive a delegation repre-
senting the Commercial club OF st.
Paul and several callers, and to final
ly complete the arrangements for the
last w days stay fl the country and
his departure for home. He had in
tended TO be present at the religious
services on the imperial yacht Hohen-
Zollern In the morning, but the case of
scarlet fever which developed there
several days ago altered that plan. IN
stead he remained at the hotel. arising

POWELL IN A ROW.
Son of Minister to Mexfco ChaiIenx.

~ ..-
Washington, March 11.-Lieut. Pow
ell Clayton. Jr.. u. s. A., son OF the
minister to Mexico. has recently been
detached from that embassy and as
signed to the cavalry station at Fort
Myer.
Concerning this change there is a
story not told in the military records.
During the Christmas holidays young
Clayton became engaged in an argu-
ment with a Mexican officer concerning
American politics In the Orient and
the Antilles. The Mexican said some
things which Lieut.. Clayton resented.
Finally the lie was passed and the en-
tire company became involved in
blows.
That night a Mexican officer formally
waited on Lieut.. Clayton and In be-
half OF one Of the belllgerents chal-
lenged him to a duel. Clayton ex-
planned that he could NOT fight, his
commission In the United States army
forbidding in the strongest way any
such performance. Clayton was ex-
PEELED from all the clubs In the city OF
Mexico.
At the same time a prominent Official
intimated to the minister that his sons
position In society at the Mexican cap
ital had been compromised and that
the wisest course for him was TO with
draw.

The officers express the belief that
