MISS RoWLEY
 WILL ENTERTAIN.

That Birmingham is busy no one can doubt, and as you stroll through the city you see great preparation for the holiday season.
 The schools and Sunday schools are ar ranging their Christmas trees the Elks are sending out invitations to their tree, and mothers are busy alarming their stockings and fathers are driving hooks on the mantle to hold them so that Santa Claus will not weight them down.
 That he is coming to somebody's house Is an assured fact for he is busy in his work shop and his list Is so long and the time Is so short he must make haste or his little team will leave him and wait upon the house tops and he shall have to climb all alone.
 He will carry toys and sugar plums, dresses and bonnets. breast pins and dia- monds and tea sets galore.
 A visit to the artists story of the Watts building finds each artist busy over her hand-painted china which must be done before Christmas, the class work is composed of presents to be given, and such beautiful work as they havel This can very truly be said to be the "cozy corner" of the busy wo- men of Birmingham for In their studios their decorations are of their own hand work. and the walls are filled with oil paintings, water colors. sketches and their cases of beautiful china.
 Adjoining these studios is Miss Daisy Rowley's academy of music. She has is- sued 100 invitations to her pupils and their young friends to a little party she gives them in her parlors. She will be assisted by Miss Katie Rabitte, Miss Grace Francis, Mrs. William Shaw, Mrs. W. Howard and Mrs. A. F. Meadows. These ladies have arranged a series of games. and each room will be in charge of one of them, and as the games are played the children will progress to the different rooms. Throughout the evening music will be rendered and at the close refreshments will be served. This is the second entertainment of the kind Miss Rowley has given her pupils and they look forward to 1t with the pleasures of the holidays.

IDEAL TYPES OF AMERICAN
 WOMANHOOD.
Work of Famous Women illustrators

Work of Famous Women Illustrators.
 Armour & Co.'s calendar for 1903 is a highly artistic achievement, and suffers no rival among similar holiday produc- tions. In it is embodied the work of six of the foremost illustrators of the world, Walter Appleton Clark, Thomas Mitchell Peirse, Albert B. Wenzell, William T. Smedley, Henry Hut ana Harrison Fisher. All of the drawings are in black and white, the vehicles used In the orig inal gouache, crayon, charcoal and oil. All are ideal types of American woman hood, full length figures, the bewitching costumes bespeaking the sport or season that they represent. The variety runs the gamut, and each fair dame presents her creator at his best.
 Beautiful as was the Armour & Co, calendar for 1902, this issue surpasses 1t, both in variety of subject and in the uni- form excellence of the pictures. The types are all characteristically American and they are calculated to arouse pride in the hearts of every denizen of the soil, of which they are distinctly racy. Again, unison is preserved throughout by the employment alone of black and white. All of the six portraits set forth the great versatility of the artists, and none of the brilliancy of the original drawings has been lost in reproduction a notable tribute truly to American ar tistic genius associated with American mechanical skill. e 4,,ssi
 Armour & Co. will send this beautiful calendar to any address on receipt of 2s cents postage.

WANT WHITE FAcINcs.
Special Board Decides in Favor Of the
 Present colors in the Army.

Washington, December 22.-The special army board on the new army uniform had a meeting at the war department today and decided in favor of the use of the blue facings for the uniforms instead of white facings, as had been suggested. The action of the board was based mainly on the fact that many officers had gone to the expense of having their new uni forms made with the blue facings in conformity with the original action of the board. and it was thought that the work had gone too far to justify change sim ply to gratify taste in the matter of color.
 There is a strong sentiment in favor of white facipgs in the army despite the action of the board, and the matter will not be settled until finally passed upon by the secretary of war.

TAKE HEED.

TAKE HEED. By Julia Nicely Finch.
 Oh, ye who hold your dear ones close Within your fond and elasping arm, Take thought of those whose loved ones
 lie
 Tn lonely graves beneath the sky. And ye whose firelight leapeth warm Upon a hearth-stone clear and bright, Remember those who cover tonight About a cold and eheerless hearth; Whose hearts. too sad and sore for mirth, Have but their boarded memories As solace for their lonliness. For festal days are crucial days For those whom time hath robbed of all; And those who walk in shadowed ways, Whose hopes lie hid beneath the pail Of disappointment's dreary fall, Must suffer more. when all the world Is as a cup of joy impearled And beaded OCT from rim to rim. And ye who walk beneath the skies Of sunny days; whose pathways lead Along the hill tops fair and fine, I bid ye pause; take heed. take heed Of those who tread the valleys dim! Col Bid the freight burn and glow On empty hearths that no warmth know. Go heal the hurts that time hath brought; Undo the wrongs that sin hath wrought; Seek out the fallen one the weak, And words of hope and comfort speak. Who knows but to you. too. may come A day when you shall sit with dumb, Unsmiling lips beside the bier Of all in life you hold most dear? There is no earthly hope secure; No happiness Is certain, sure And unavailable on earth. Life Is at best mingled braid Of joy and grief, of light and shade.

Il TRADE INDICATOR

The Octo:3er estimate BY the
Iron Age of the production of iron
ore is 100000 tons, one of the heav.
lest outputs on record, in spite OF
the blowing out of many furnaces
for want of coke or anthracite and
the reduction of output by others
This heavy production brings the
total for the first ten months of the
year up to 14,724,724 tons, against a
total production for the entire year
1901 of 15,878, ,34 tons, which was by
far the heaviest production on rec.
ord. As an increase over last
months production is looked for
this month, owing to the increase
in the supply of anthracite, there is
every reason to expect a total pig
iron output this year of 17,50o,O0C
tons at least. This is almost twice
the normal British or German pro.
duction, and it is all consumed al
home.

to mining operations conducted by

which is stripping the Kinney

: "The people of Mckinley" said
Mr.. Maitland, "need have no fear
that they will be disturbed by min
ing operations for long time to
come: We are working to the west
of there and have no idea of going
under the town for a number of
years, at least.
"Our shipments from the Mesaba
will be about 225O00 tons this year.
We shall have stockpiles left over
to the amount of 100000 tons. We
have considerable ore bought on
contract, and we shall not draw
heavily on our Mesaba mines until
the contracts shall have expired.
"At the Kinney mine, near Buhl, ,
we shall erect boiler and engine
house and sink shaft this winter.
Stripping is in progress there at
present. The Bessemer mine, of
the franklin group, will be started
up this winter, after having been
