THE r1URr1UR OF THE WORLD.

dant gleefulness; and so shaking his fist, kicking and laughing. he was borne away in the arms of the laughing mother, pass ing the portal through which have pass ed generations of chief rulers who are as dead as the leaves in the great park through which mother and baby passed to the obscurity of their own unpretend- ing world
 Maybe that baby will return one day as chief ruler and stand in that same place to receive the ten thousand! A thousand to one the hope for that is in the heart of the young mother!
 Society in the limited sense the world over Is easily pleased by trife tickeled with straw, and often it is in the at titude of crying, How sublime n thing it Is to brush away a fly. Society in this city of the nation has worn itself out discussing the burning question of A Visiting Card, and the strife Is not un- like the war of the Big Endians and the Little Endians, in Dean swift's immortal satire of Gulliver's Travels, wherein we are told of long and disastrous war that was waged on account of dispute as to whether in proceeding to eat a soft-boiled egg the shell should be broken at the big end or the little end.
 The First Lady of the Land has done an unprecedentedly unconventional thing by having her visiting card bear the Christian name of her husband. It was never done before in the long history of the Presidency, 1t is declared, and it ought not to have been done in this in- stance: and there is truth lin the plea. Mrs Roosevelt was Mrs. Theodore Roose- welt until she came to dwell in the White House, but her elevation made her Mrs. Roosevelt without any Theodore about it, just as 1t ought to have been when she was at the head of the Governor of New York's mansion in Albany. and as the visiting cards of the wives of all state Governors should read; without the Christian names or. worse still. the in- itials, of their husbands. So there you are
 And another unprecedentedly unconven- tional act of the First Lady that has caused 1utter in society's dovecotes was her recent invitation to some hundreds of persons "to meet Miss Carew',-Carew is an old family name in England and is pronounced Carey there, though what they call 1t here is Karoo, it seems. Now Mrs. Roosevelt's invitations were sent to the diplomatic corps and there's the rub, Ambassadors were invited "to meetta young woman. though that young woman Is the sister of the wife of the President of the United States. Accord ing to diplomatic usage and custom there are but two persons in America whom an ambassador could be properly invited "to meet" The two are the President and the Presidents wife Ambassadors rank everybody else in this country, and in every country they rank everybody ex- cept the rulers and their wives and, in the case of emperors and kings the heirs to the throne.
 But what is the difference so long as we are happy!
 Visiting cards or no visiting cards for great or small. this is to wish . happy New Year for all-Joy!

WITH THE TIDE.

Wave by wave over tho sandy bar,
 Up to the coast lights, gliInmering wan, Out of the darkness deep and far.
 Slowly the tide came creeping on. Through tho clamor of billowy strife
 Another voice went wailing thin; The first faint cry of newborn life
 Broke on tho night--and the tide was in. Wave by wave over the sandy bar.
 Back again from the sleeping town, Back to tho darkness deep and far.
 Slowly the tide went dropping down, Silence lay on the chamber of death;
 Silence lay on the land about; The last low fiutter of weary breath
 Fell on the night--end the tide was out

heard uncommonly good music and-that was all!
 The ambassadors and ministers from other lands. in their rich and picturesque raiment and we'll and showily attended. had come and gone before the ten thou sand had adjusted its cravat and rear ranged its hair for the trying ordeal which 1t was voluntarily to undergo; and so had retired the three-score maidons. fair daughters of the politically and off, cially great, hidden thither that they might grace the graceful heralds of em- perors and kings and presidents far away. Even the army and the navy and the Senators and the Judges had come and gone Some plain men. high officers of state, still stood behind the chief ruler, dressed as he was and as were thousands of men in the street who had donned their Sunday clothes for the holiday, cus- tom still prevailing in the delightfully."- provincial city of the Nation. One of the white beard, and that was the only dec oration observable; decoration in the diplomatic world-senso being forbidden in this court of his majesty, King Demos.
 But the ten thousand did not know the difference. and not knowing. did not care. The ten thousand was pleased with its chief ruler, charmed by the gracious First Lady delighted by the flowers and exotic plants gladdened by the uncom- monly good music. and transcendantly proud of itself.
 Yet there was one in that throng who appealed to the angels. She was young mother of humble degree. who had passed the outer guard with her baby hugged to her heart That pride and glory which transcended all other pride and glory of this world, the young mothers joy of joys. illumined her pale face like holy light, worth more to the soul to see than all the splendor of the earth. In her place, moving slowly. ever so slowly, with the endles rank. she now and then held her baby up that the glad eyes of infancy might be made gladder still by the beauty and splendor of nature and art in such abundant profusion. And when someone rudely sought to engage the chief ruler in talk and thereby
 
 pause. she held the baby up that 1t might sec the great. Moving on again, she began to seem a trifle excited, and whis- pered in the boby's ear. She whispered again and again, and the baby cooed softly.
 Suddenly for the mother the column broke just ahead of her, and-the hand of the chief ruler was extended to her. She grasped the hand in feverish haste; the chief ruler looked from her face to the baby and caught the baby's gaze: smiled and was smiled at; patted the chubby little fist, and turned to greet the next one. a man, who was smiling and happy too.
 Moving on and around in front of the chief ruler, the young mother passed to look back and as she stood there in her poor raiment she seemed as she was the proudest woman between the seas. Im- pulsively she again whispered to the baby and as if newly pleased the baby shook his creased fist at the chief ruler and kicked with his little feet in abun-

creeks of West Virginia for coal and coke, and it is shipping in barges rails and nails and wire and other goods to every part of the South. Unless this government can be induced to open the Warrior this district is bot tied up. No matter how low the cost of production may be in this district, we cannot meet goods barged to the South with goods loaded with railway charges. It is case of survival, not of the Attest in production, but of the best equipped in transportation facilities.
 The Gulf States-the entire South for that matter-is interested in this matter. Pittsburg will deluge the South with Pittsburg-made goods un- less the Warrior is opened, and we are enabled to barge goods to the sea and to New Orleans and even to Mem phis also. The government opened the streams above and below Pitts burg, and the South naturally expects like treatment. A committee should be sent to Washington before January 25 to explain and emphasize the value to the South of quick opening of the Warrior.

years.'
 It is a poor heart that never rejoices,> as the warm-hearted ones of the Ever green Isle over the sea are ever saying, in their tenderly emotional and impulsive- way.
 All the children of men who suffered in the dead year are glad it is dead, and all who rejoiced are glad it is gone. Those for whom It's progress marked many miseries hope for the heights of peace and those to whom 1t brought music and laughter and joy hope for yet higher heights of happiness. So mourners and merrymakers alike turn from the old to the new with delightful anticipation, lis- tening to the alluring tales hope ever loves to tell to all who are sad and all who are glad albeit the passing of year fast out of the glass.
 One great priest, speaking in the morn- ing of the first day, and affectionately and in words of wondrous beauty wishing all the members of his congregation a happy and prosperous new year, begged them to refrain from mortal sin and all premeditateds sin during the twelve months. and he assured them in the name of the Father that if they should so live they would come to enjoy at the year s closing the full significance of timely and entirely happy new year. year without sin would be year of joy, plead ed the priest, and there was perhaps not one who listened to- him and doubted Those who faithfully tried to live so and who might fail would have the ines timable comfort that always comes as a priceless reward to all who do the best they can. -.---i.--
 He who does the best he can docs well. Angels could do no morc."
 Here in this city of the nation the new year was begun with that lack of the pomp and circumstance of tho power which comes of the multitude. creating 1t rulers oftenest by impulse born of un- wholesome passions or fancies. Some ten thousand persons, men and women. more or less, marched up the hill to the dwell- ing place of their chief ruler. wrung his strong hand. looked into his strong and laughing facc and then marched down again proud in the self-consciousness of having properly exercised the privilege. if not the right, of the free. Let all enter who will, the chief ruler had said, and so it was done. Pomp and circumstance of greatness were lacking about the plain man in a frock-coat to whom the ten thousand paid awkward and unaccustom- ed courtesy.
 The uncourtly courtiers saw the. young est of the long line of rulers. caught glimpses of tho 2miable First Lady. saw more flowers and exotic plants than they had ever seen before on winters day,

NED BRACE TALKS ABOUT SEVERAL MATTERS
 RELATING TO BIRMINGHAM AND ALABAMA

1t will be accepted and he will dine at the White House.
 President Roosevelt is man of im- pulses. He Is not naturally bad. He Is not one who would seek to insult an officer of the United States army or any one else. in either his private, residence or his official mansion. He did, however speak harshly to General Miles. and his invitation to General Miles to dine with him at the White House Is in the nature of an atonement for his impulsive act
 I see that many newspapers and pub fishers of the country are attempting to boom Admiral schley for the Democratic Presidential nomination next time. But the Schley boom, like the Dewey boom of the past, will collapse. Schley is dis 2 tinctively naval officer The American people will not act upon impulse in select ing a president do not believe the Dem ocrats will consider the matter of nomi- mating Schley any more than would the Republicans two years ago have consider ed the matter of nominating Roosevelt for President. When the Philadelphia convention nominated MT. Roosevelt for vice President, venture that not man in the convention thought he was vot- Ing for President
 Tn talking with the officers of the sev- eral banks yesterday, I was surprised to learn that the total deposits in the banks of Birmingham at this time amount to nEn !, fnraa ha lxc hold s5, 75O, GOO of deposits.
 At this time last year the bank de- posits of Birmingham were under S6,500,- GOO. True there has been an increase in the past twelve months of 20 per cent Ia remarkably healthy growth.
 am glad to learn that Chief of Police Austin has issued instructions to police men to enforce the, city ordinance against expectorating on the sidewalks of Birm- ingham The sidewalks are too dirty and Chief Austin cannot do the citizens of Birmingham, and especially the ladies, greater favor than to enforce the ordi- nance against filthy sidewalks. The sooner sidewalk fruit stands and expec- torators are removed. the healthier and better will be Birmingham.
 
 Roby Robinson, of Atlanta, spent yes- terday in Birmingham. Robinson is an Alabama boy He was born and raised in Eufaula. Ten years ago he went to Atlanta to accept a $40 clerkship in financial house in that city. Today Rob- inson is one of the most prosperous young men in the South. He is not only at tho head of the largest bond-buying house in the South. but he has built one of the handsomest office buildings in the South in Atlanta, and has recently acquired a very large interest in the Atlanta Con- stitution, of which paper he is now busi- ness manager and financial director, sue ceeding Mir. W. A. Hemphill.
 Robinson is worth, perhaps. half mill lion dollars, and at the rate he is now going will soon be one of the South's mill lionaires.
 I am glad to learn that the health of MT Sol Haas has improved very much during his stay in California, and that he expects to return to Birmingham very soon to make this his home. MT. Haas is one of Birmingham's most progressive citizens. He Is a large real estate owner, and every good citizen will he glad to elcome him back.

HNHE day was when men of promi-
nence hesitated to give their testi-
monials to proprietary medicines for
publication. This remains true to-day
of most proprietary medicines. But Pc
runa has become SO justly famous, its
merits are known to so many people of
high and low stations, that no one hesi-

The highest men in our nation have
given Peruna strong endorsement.
Men representing all classes and sta

A dignified representative of the Pres
byterian church in the person of Rev.
E. G. Smith does not hesitate to state
publicly that he has used Peruna in his

remedies failed. In this statement the
Rev. Smith is supported by an elder in
his church.
Rev. E. G. Smith. pastor of the Presby-
terian church of Greensboro, Ga. writes:
Having used Peruna in my family for
some time it gives me pleasure to testify
to it's true worth.
"My little boy seven years of age had

bottles of Peruna thetrouble almost en-
tirely disappeared. For this special
malady consider it well nigh specific

Mr.. M. ]. Rossman, a prominent mer-

For long time was troubled with

remedies, all of which gave me no relief.
Peruna was recommended to me by
several friends, and after using a few

MY wife suffered severely from rheu-
