MAKES
FUN FOR THE POLICE

Chief of Police Austin was tackled by
an entirely new variety of faklr yester-
day, in the person of a blind phrenlogist
who desired to tell the chief what kind
of man and officer he was from. the
bumps on his head. He claims West Vir-
ginia as his home, and said he had just
come to Birmingham. He sauntered into
police headquarters without knowing
where he was going.
He had warm spiel and one so mixed
with long and technical terms that he lost
the crowd in the office without difficulty
and had no trouble in convincing the
chief that he should be allowed to do
business in Birmingham. He examined
the head of almost every person in the
office. Here is what he told one young
man:
You are of an active, sanguine tenn
permanent. rather public spirited and dis
liking confinement. May adapt yourself
to circumstances although this may or
may not be confined. You have a me-
chanical turn of mind and your imita-
tion and construction bumps are well de-
veloped. This makes you up a man of
mechanical art.
THE bump of secretiveness is well de-
veloped and inclines you to evade ques-
tons which you do not wish to answer.
From development of conscieptiousness.

Mayberry Hardware Co. Now Capital
ICED at 5000, ooo-BuIldins a Ware
house.

At the annual meeting of the stockhold-
held several days ago. after declaring the
regular annual cash dividend of per cent
1t was decided to increase the capital
stock to 5000, 900, which amount was i'm
mediately subscribed. The increase in
stock was voted on account of the in
crease in business in the year 1901, which
was far in excess of anticipations.
The Mayberry Hardware Company is
erecting, on the entire block bounded by
Seventeenth and Enighteenth streets and
Avenues d and E an immense warehouse
for the storage of heavy materials. Rail-
road tracks are being built to the ware
house, and adjoining 1t stable is being
built for the accommodation Of their de-
livery wagons and several dozen mules.
Although the Mayberry Hardware Com
pany has a tremedous six-story building
on First avenue. its business has grown
to such proportions that this warehouse
is necessary The First avenue building
will hereafter be used for offices and dis
play rooms. The great mass of heavy
goods will be carried and stored in the
new warehouse.
Mr.. Chenoweth, vice president of the
company. and Mr. Tissier, the latter in
charge of the harness and carriage de-
partment, are now in the East buying
goods.

he was a warm champion of Colonel
Roosevelt's Vice Presidential candidacy.
Later he became Vice President Roose-

connection with his Presidential aspira-

ceeded to the Presidency he was one Of
the first men called to Washington to
be consulted about political matters. In
the National Committee the relations Of
Mr.. PAYNE. the Vice Chairman, to Col
