out my hard luck story. Next he sat
down on the bench with me, and ten
minutes later I was engaged as his
valet, a position I had never held in
utterly unfamiliar. But l was wide
awake and smart, as young English
men 60, about twenty-five, fairly well
educated and Of good face and figure.
Think he was actuated by more than
q desire to do me good turn. In per-
sonal appearance l would do him cred
it. He had the written testimony Of
business men that 1 was faithful and
honest, and think he sized me up as
one whose prudence and discretion.
could be relied on. The pay was better
than head clerks and the duties nei-
Their humiliating nor onerous. My gen.
tleman had fine apartments, in fash
ionable street. Once q week a char
woman came in to wash windows and
the care Of the rooms. He had the
value Of 5000 in his apartments, and
everything was in my keeping. Money
was placed in my hands to pay many
of the bills, and l was not treated with
a tenth part of the degradation that
falls to the lot of the average clerk or
salesman.
Arthur Moreton Wellington was a
man of thirty-fve when l took service
with him. He had liberal. means, and
his only thought was of society and
pleasure, but he was neither dissipated
nor did he have an unsavory reputa-
tions So far as l could judge he was
not a marrying man, but at the same
time he was a man who fell head over
heels in love with every new and
pretty face. There would be flowers
and presents, billets doux and suppers,
the opera and grand dinners, and then
the affair would be off. Now and then
one of the women who had been drop
ped when the glamour was gone would
call at the rooms and either weep or
threaten, but nothing ever came Of it.
He had to trust me with these little
affairs, but he never did me the wrong
to hint that must keep close mouth.
l had been with him three years
when he fell in love with an American
actress who was filling an engagement
in London. She had hundred admir-
ers, thousand perhaps, but inside OF
q month my gentleman bad the field
to himself 1t was amazing the amount
of money he squandered on that wom-
an. 1t was flowers three times day,
expensive dinners every evening and
presents of diamonds, pearls and ru-
bies. heard some Of his friends argue
with him, but it did no good. He was
in love, as he had been twenty times
before, but with no thought Of mar
rage. Had not other gentlemen OF
means and leisure entered the lists
against him he would not have been
driven so far, but he was bent on out
doing them all. On three different oc-
casions the lady came to the rooms
with other guests. She seemed to me
only fair looking and to be an adven-
turess, at least in spirit; but, of course.
was rather prejudiced.
At the end Of about month, true to
his capricious nature, my gentleman
wanted to have done with the affair.
In that time he had squandered about
$4,000 for her benefit. don't think
she cared rap for him. but as there
had been great deal Of public gossip
che naturally felt piqued and indig-
~ sc at his cooling down. I knew

DIR Chas H. Utter, prominent physi-
clan of Panama, Colombia, in recent letter
states: Last March I had as patient a
young lady sixteen years OF age, who had
very bad attack of dysentery. Everything
prescribed for her proved Intellectual and
she was growing worse every hour. Her
parents were sure she would die. She had
become so weak that she could not turn
.se.s. at this critical
moment was study for me, but I thought
of Chamberlain Collie, Cholera and Diar-
rheea Remedy and as a last resort prescribed
it. The most wonderful result was effected.
Within eight hours she. owas feeling muck
better; inside of three days she was upor
her feet and at the end Of one week was en-
tirely well. z For sale by Hanson & Emerson

Avoid gossip. Cultivate an utter disre- gard for unjust and unmerited criticism. Avoid so far as possible the burden of ex- pert testimony, and if you should be called upon to such task, do not appear to know too much. Eschew politics. Above all do not become a quack doctor
 Following the speech of Major Caldwell, pr. R. M. Cunningham made an address, the first part of which was decidedly humorous the latter portion being filled with good advice and clear analysis Of conditions confronting the medical pro- fession. He made an earnest plea for a better educated public and thoroughly educated medical profession His advice was not stock-worn, but drawn from ex- perience and spoken in sincere tones.
 Dr. B. L. Wyman conferred the degrees and delivered an address. He is dean of the college, and the conclusion Of his address was in part as follows;
 Tn the early part of your career you will ineet with some difficulties, and dis couragements. You will sometimes meet with ingratitude when you expect love- and when your patient succumbs to the great destroyer in spite of your best directed efforts you will wish you had been a lawyer. a politician or any other profession than that of a physician You will find that the profession is very much crowded and the acquisition of practice slow, and the recommendations small. The public look with some disfavor upon the young aspirant for practice on account of his youth and inexperience. This is one of the difficulties which time alone can overcome. Every young man has .cer- tain evolutionary period through which he must pass before he gains the full confidence of the community in which he lives.
 T have a promising hope for each member of this class for the humblest there are dazzling heights which may be attained. For your encouragement and as an inspiration I would point you to the long line of illustrious physicians and surgeons who have adorned our profess sion in the past. Emulate the example of the great men who have gone before. Thirst for knowledge, ambition. untirine labor and perseverance have made the great physicians and surgeons of the past Do your whole duty, and to that end use all the means which science has beoueathed to you and your efforts will finally be rewarded"
 The valedictory address was delivered by Dr. c. L. Murphree, of the graduating class His effort received much applause. Music for the occasion was furnished by the Jefferson Theatre Orchestra with two solos by MT. c. c. Washburn.

STUDENTS STUDY
 IRON AND STEEL
PARTY OF ATLANTA TECHNOLOG- ICAL SENIORS SPEND WEEK
 HERE VISITING THE VARIOUS INDUSTRlES-DERlVE BENEFIT.

For the purpose of studying at first hand the science of manufacturing iron and steel products and the raw material itself a party of twelve students of the Georgia School of Technology, accompan- fed by Professor J. S. Coon, has been in tho. Birmingham district since Tuesday They left for Atlanta yesterday after noon at 4:10 o'clock
 The young men are members of the and will receive their diplomas in June. Having been studying the theory and do- ing such work as can be done in their forges for four years, they made this visit to see the raw material made into iron, steel and such other products as are made in this district
 The members of the party were: Pro- lessor J. S. Coon, MT. R. L. Hicks MT. M. R. Berry. Mir. M. T. Hochstrasser, MT. c. H. Kicklighter, Mir. E. W. Klaein, MT. A. H. Morton, MT. M. D. Lawrence, MT. J. H. Paulson, MT. H. L. Strickland MT. T. M. Thompson, MT. A. E. Windsor snd MT. H. B. Wey.
 The party arrived here Tuesday, and since that time has been spending the time in making visits to the various fur naces, steel plants, ore mines and coal mines of the district. They have also visited the rolling mills and other manu- featuring establishments where products of the raw material are made into fin ished articles for the open market.
 At all the furnaces and mines they closely studied the various plans and methods of work used in changing the ore into products ready for actual use They were shown the applications of knowledge gained from theoretical books and given such examples as clearly proved the lessons they had been learn ing for the past four years.
 Professor Coon was very enthusiastic as to the results of the visit, and ir speaking of 1t yesterday sald
 we have made our visit as quietly as possible, for 1t was in no sense the pur- pose of the president in sending over the boys to make an advertisement of the trip We have studied the various work. ings of the various industrious plants oi the district, and have been decidely bene- fited by the actual contact with earnest real working men.
 q made every attempt possible to show the boys just where the lessons learned during the terms were applicable in the work we watched here; and each one ol the twelve have studied with rare enthu- siasm and understanding. They are all loud in their praise of the college trustees in allowing them time for the visit.
 "The various managers and officers o1 the manufacturing and industrial plants in Birmingham have been very kind and have shown US all courtesies in their power. And with the students I am very grateful for this. I think the example of this trip will cause the management of the school to send more boys next year and keep them here for longer term of study"

MADE DIRK WITH NAIL.
Coroner Paris Charged Jim Montgom

Coroner Paris returned from Coalburg yesterday. where he went to investigate the killing of Will Johnson. a negro con- vict, by another convict named Jim Mont- gomery. After an investigation the coro- ner decided to issue warrant for Mont gomery. charging him with the homicide. Johnson was stabbed in the heart with a dirk supposed to have been made with a large nall.
 It seems that the two negroes had a quarrel over a pair of shoes which John- son accused Montgomery of stealing. the quarrel ending in Johnsons death. Mont gomery does not deny the quarrel but makes no admission of having stabbed Johnson. ..

L. L. sTARkEY,

Eight young men were awarded diplo- mas giving the degree of doctor of medi- cine, at the graduating exercises of the Birmingham Medical College at the lief ferson Theatre last night.
 The new physicians are: Messrs. c. N. Carraway. R. B. Fore, Loren Gray, E. K. Hanby, l.. L. Lee, c. L. Murphree, L. L. starkey and M. J. Williams.
 The annual address to the graduating class was made by Major J. M. Caldwell of Anniston. He said, in part:
 No one more than I feels that deep sympathy and high respect for worthy representatives of your chosen profession to which they are so fully entitled. and no one more than has greater cause for gratitude to doctor friend to whose patience, faithfulness and skill the debt of recovered health is due. These words should put us on amicable relations. and I shall proceed to give you some friendly advice. First, let me remind you that you have all been little boys. You have felt the wealth of kisses and caresses so richly laden with a mothers love.
 You have been described in letters to your distant relatives and in eloquent speech to friends of the family as models In good looks and prodgies in precocious- ness. You have been responsible for in innate connection between tacks and pa ternal feet at the dead hours of night for tired, seepess eyes and worn out | mothers anxious days. You have doubt less fallen off the porch or been nearly kissed to death by the neighbor women who thought you too sweet to live. You have played truant, terrorized the cat, smoked cigarettes. and caused fearful periods of distress to your parents.
 Hope, love, pride, care and needed help all appear like golden threads In the warp and filling of your past, and should be an inspiration to you tonight as you stand on the threshold of lifes activities for the world extends no cordial help to those who get neither comfort, counsel or warning from the past.
