THE MILLS OF THE GODS.
BY IDA sHEPLER.

Copyright. 1908, by Daily Story Pub. Co)
 An old-fashioned house, on dingy side street, it's two front doors opening on the uneven sidewalk, above one a d ess- making sign swung out to the breeze about the other hung the strong odor or ether, for within lay a bruiseH and broken piece of humanity, over which bent two doctors. one elderly, the other young and blythe. At table apart sat a doctor putting away his instruments used in the work which now seemed done and ready for the nurse. This man. goodly of face and form, belonged to the early prime of life
 Pity that electric car didn't finish this poor soul while 1t was about it" said the young doctor, glibly. Now he will suffer a dozen deaths and finish up in the last. It is claimed that Providence looks after the feet of fools and drunken men, but it did not prove out in this case.
 Fairfield and were on the car that hurt him. We reached him just as he was lapsing into inconsistencies. He asked to be taken home to his wife, and Fairfield would hear to iothing else with a nod toward the man at the table ''The hospital was the place for him. We've worked at a disadvantage here. It was little use patching him up outside when he is broken up to greater extent inside, but Fairfield would have 1t so,' growled the old doctor. Then added: He was a total wreck before this hap pened. Our work is all for naught"
 'It is entirely too soon to give a de- cision in this case. He may live. I know the prognosis is unfavorable, and there are signs that show nerve wreckage. but with all this, one can never exactly guage the reserve force that may prolong life beyond our farthest guess" The doctor xla fan vyaa adding hie Hacfeiov, vrbo elder doctor shook his head, then con- tinued. as he looked around the room for his hat and gloves:
 ''I understand. pr. Fairfield, that you are a friend of the family--or at least of the wife. It devolves upon you to make her acquainted with the real condition of her husband. and-and leave orders for his care. If not, Hurty looks after many cases in this part of"
 years, but am very sure that pr. Hurty, the county physician, would not be her choice I will look after the welfare of Grayson until the end. whatever 1t may be interrupted pr. Fairfield, coldly. The young doctor glanced at him in a pleased way. His heart was yet callow, and he had not learned the art of withholding re- lief from humanity unless gold was back of it.
 when the IWo Hau BOhO' oAtCt a ClO'o look at the white face upon the pillow, Dr. Fairfield opened the door of an ad- joining room where a woman sat with her hands clasped on the sewing table in front of her. Turning from contemplat- ing the blank wall, she disclosed a face still beautiful, despite the troubled droop at the mouth corner aand the weary, deep-set eyes.
 You have come to tell me that he will llve?" she began, then stopped suddenly. The words had come unexpectedly to her lips.

HISTORICAL SOCIETY
ANNUAL MEETING TO BE HELD DECEMBER 22.
Col. M. L, woods will Deliver an Address on Albert James Pickett at the Council
 Chamber.

The annual meeting of the Alabama Historical Society will be held in Mont gomery Tuesday, December 22.
 The principal feature of the meeting will be the annual address by Col. M. L. Woods on "Reminiscences of Albert James Pickett"
 The meeting of the Society will be called to order on the night of the 22nd at s p. m.. in the City Council Chamber. Gov ernor Jelks is President of the Society and Director Thomas M. Owen of the State Department of Archives and His tory is its Secretary.
 within the city of Montgomery there are fifty members of the Society and large attendance at the meeting is ex- pected.
 The annual meetings of the Historical Society have heretofore been held during the last week in June or in the first week of July The change of the time of meet ing until the latter part of December was made to have the calendar year and the society year correspond.
 At the annual meeting the reports of the President and Secretary are made and other matters of importance to the So- ciety are discussed.
 The fourth volume of the transactions of the Society will be issued shortly after the annual meeting.
 Special interest attaches to the an- nouncement that Col. M L. Woods will address the Society on the personal side of Albert James Pickett Colonel Pickett was Alabama's first historian. His his- tory of Alabama was not only the first State history, but 1t was thorough. ex- haustive, and written in a clear and lucid style. He occupies a peculiar place of eminence in the literature of Alabama, and his fame as a historian is secure.
 Colonel Woods was a son-in-law of the famous historian. He was thrown into close personal intimacy with the historian and between them there existed a sym pathetic and intellectual friendship.
 It Is matter of general interest to re- call that Colonel Pickett himself deliv- cred the annual address of the Society in 1854. The Society met that year in Tus- caloosa. Colonel Pickett's subject on that occasion was "The Origin and Progress in the Eastern Hemisphere"
 Colonel Pickett was resident of Mont gomery and died here. He was buried in Oakwood Cemetery.

COLONEL MAY HAS RESIGNED  vacancy in the Second
 Infantry.
 
 REMOVED FROM STATE MajOr Bricken of Luverne
 Will Succeed Him.
Changes in Field Officers May Mean Advancement of Captain Elliott ms, of Birmingham from
 Stan 0face.

Colonel Herbert B. May. formerly of Montgomery. but now of New Lork. has resigned as Lieutenant Colonel of the Second Infantry, Alabama National Guard.
 Colonel May sent in his resignation be- pause of his removal from Alabama and
 he establishment of his permanent resi- dence in New York City.
 To the vacancy thus created Major Charles R. Bricken of Luverne will be advanced. Major Bricken is the ranking
 major of the 2nd and is popular with
 he officers who will make the selection.
 ae will be promoted without opposition.
 Major Bricken has just served a period pf four years as major of the End. Previous to that hc was Captain of Com X bany 'I' at Luverne.
 To the vacant majorship Captain John #p. Elliott of Birmingham will in all prob- ability be elected by a unanimous vote. Montgomery officers of the Second said yesterday that no name had been mem ntioned in connection with the probable vacancy except that of Captain Elliott.
 Captain Elliott is the present popular quartermaster of the End. He has held that place upon the staff of Colonel DIT. B. Foster, Colonel A. A. Wiley and Colonel E. H. Graves, the successive commanders of the End. He has held the rank of Captain since 1SSS. having the oldest commission of any Captain of the regiment.
 Lieutenant Colonel May was held in the highest esteem by the men and of- ficers of the 2nd. His resignation Is generally regretted. Colonel May served nine years in the Alabama National Guard. During the Spanish-American war he was captain of the Montgomery Greys in the End Alabama Volunteers, being one of the youngest captains in the Volunteer Army of the United States. Upon the reorganization of the Alabama National Guard after the war Colonel May was elected Captain of the Greys, remaining at the head of the company until his election as major. He was promoted to the Lie- Colonelcy of the regiment two years ago.
 Colonel May was regarded as one of the most efficient officers of the State troops. He removed to New York last summer when he formed a valuable connection with a Wall Street firm of brokers.
 His many Montgomery and Alabama friends will be interested in the state ment that his position is altogether sat- isfactory and that he has a promising future in the metropons.
