lover of her middle age?
So the late June days fed; and as
the nations birthday approached, the
early cottagers at the Pier Joined with
the townspeople in preparations to
celebrate the day with fitting evidences
of patriotism. There was to be an
early morning parade of antiques and
horribles. followed by military DEM
onstration, a parade of automobiles at
noon and al old-fashioned afternoon
picnic, with reading of the Dec!ara-
ton and patriotic addresses, ending
with an evening of fireworks.
Such busy season as it became for
Welcome Nye.
His father was to lead the automo-
bile parade in his fine French racing
machine and deep was Welcomes dis
gust and violent his ire when refused
the privilege of accompanying him,
more especially since that honor was
to be accorded his arch-cnemy, Louise
Carleton.
The choice was seemly and fitting;
yet it caused Louise Carleton's mother
a little pang which she would not ad-
nit was jealousy, and which she hero
ically strove to ignore. as she aided
her daughter in decorating the Cor
sair, which, in its floral lines of red
and white carnations and the blue Of
the feathery adjuratum, with knots
and festoons of fluttering ribbons in
the national colors was thing OF
beauty, when their deft fingers had
given it the finishing touches.
To the surprise of the townspeople,
independence Day dawned bright and
warm, an ideal day for the celebration.
The events of the morning proved
more than successful and there was
lively interest in the coming of the
autos. which were to make the round
OF the town at noon.
The Corsair, looking like fairy We
hicle in it's floral adornment, stood in
the open doorway of the Nye stables,
only waiting the coming of it's owner
to start upon its triumphal progress.
The household was b:;sily engaged. for
it was the lunch hour; all were antic-
ipating the rare pleasure OF the az
ternoon.
Suddenly there was a dash, a bang
warning toot. foot! the odor and
puff of gasolene, and out of the stable
doorway and down the drive madly
dashed cumbersome floral bulk.
There was cry of alarm, rush
from stable and household, hoarse
warnings hurled after an adventurous
and unheeding chauffeur.

PRETTY CIRCUS WOMEN.

days as Well as Good Muscles.
There is a new kind of circus girl,
Just as there is new chorus girl. The
latest thing in chorus girls is slight
and piquant. and in marked physical
contrast to the opulent, stalwart beau
ty who was formerly considered the
only type adapted to stage display.
The new kind of circus girl is strik-
ing principally on account of her in
creased loneliness. The hard-faced.
dycd-haired rider with her set smile
and CHASTITY little coquettr:es is d
thing of the past.
The women are nowadays fresher,
p1ettier and nearly always better
blessed than they ever were in the
past. Comeiness seems to be regard
cd now as important as their athletic
skill.
One very mediocre acrobat was a
woman called the Beautiful Geral-
dine" who was successful ten years
age from one end of Europe to the
ether, not because she was skillful in
her work. but because of her supposed

HIS OVERLAND JOURNEl

heard an interesting one last night"
Whose and what was it," asked his friend,
sliding himself down the seat to make his
position more comfortable.
1T was this man Harry De Windt. who made
an overland trip from Paris to Newly ork.
You've heard about it
Did he so on land all the way?" asked the
friend, blandy
Well. Of course, when he came TO a body of
water he crossed it, but it an overland
trip"
Then I don't see anything wonderful about
it, declared the other In fact I've made an
overland trip from New-York to Paris myself y
Yes you have" retorted the other in de-
rision Why he had a terrible time in Siberia
and other wild portions of the route"
If you call De Windts trip overland jour
ney, then I've made one" the other fellow in

Explain yourself" said the one who was be
ginning to be provoked.
We'll, l went over land when there was land,
and when I came to a bit of water I crossed it

keep this UP right along, and an English farm
er would no more drive owl from his barn
than he'd take the roof off. He does not
believe in the hard luck stories about the bird
You who have never owls except when
they have been carefully stuffed like these in
the case think they are fat. That's another
mistake. Owls usually nothing but skin
and bones and feathers. Their big heads and
the fluffy feathers make them look big. Having
their eyes in front and not at the sides of the
head is not the only difference between them
and other birds. They mate for life, and the
care and attention bestowed upon Mrs. Owl
by her husband might be studied to good ad-
vantage by man who kill owls just for fun

Mechanical Fish Bait.
From the Chicago News.

From the Chicago News.
 While the true sportsman will continue to cast his flies on brook and lake many a fisherman will manifest an interest in the electrical fish bait which we have H. lustrated below. which serves to attract the gamey bass or the pickerel quite as readily as do the flies and live bait In fact. this new bait can almost be said to be alive, If one may judge from its move ments in the water and little wonder is it that fish Is deceived and becomes a victim of his appetite. We already know how the passage of the electric current through an electro magnet Is made to vibrate a steel bar and ring bell. and it is just the same principal which has been applied to this bait to make 1t thing of life. The elec- tro-magnet is located In the body of the bait, which is of hard rubber and the in- ner ends of the fins are extended until they are directly above the end of the coil When the current from small battery Is turned into the coil through the interven- ing insulated wires the fins are at once agitated so rapidly as to attract the fish toward 1t. The exterior of the body Is shaped like a minnow and painted or enameled fin colors to deceive the large fish when the bait is trolled through the water. While the inventor does not men, ton the use of the electric current to shock or kill the fish which takes the bait. 1t Is easy to imagine that this idea will be carried out by the ingenious fisherman.

GILMAN.
Last Bale of Cotton of the old Crop
 Is Brought to Town.

Cullman. August 6.-(Special) )-What will probably be the last bale of cotton of the old crop to be sold here this season was brought to town yesterday by Squire Tom Crawford of Morgan county. The bale brought eleven and three-tenths cents per pound, this being the highest price paid for cotton at this point since the price of cotton began to decline about ten years ago. Mir. Crawford is one of the most prosperous and one of the wealthiest farmers in north Alabama. and though he has held the bale quite while, he is about twenty-fve dollars better off than he would have been had he sold last fall.
 It is generally conceded that the crop prospect over this section of the state was never better than at present. Copious rains have fallen in most sections. and a yield of corn far above the average is assured. Cotton will be thirty days late, and whilst the prospect in many localities is not ti> best, in others it is promising, and it now seems safe to predict a safe average yield.

TUSCALOOSA TO BE
 DARK MANY DAYS
STREETS CROWDED WITH PEOPLE
 VISITING SCENES OF THE DIs- AsTER CAUSED BY EXPLOSION
 OF THE ELECTRIC LIGHT PLANT.

Tuscaloosa, August 6.-(Special.)-The streets of Tuscaloosa have been crowded all day with hundreds of people who are night. Many night watchmen were em- ployed by business firms whose stores were damaged by the explosion, and this morning at an early hour large numbers of carpenters were busily engaged tear Ing away the splintered timbers of sev- eral buildings and will be engaged for several days to come. It Is thought thac by special effort that the electric plant can be put Into operation in the course of from two to three months. The cata- strophe was miraculous. in that only two lives were lost. Portions of the plant and boiler were found at Lock |, on the north side of the plant, a half a mile away. while others were found on the golf links a mile southeast. while brick and small scraps of iron were thrown in many sections of the city.
 The great boiler. which after tearing through five brick walls. is on the sec Friedman & Rosenau on account of it's enormous size will have to be torn to pieces and removed In sections The buildings through which 1t passed are without large sections of roofing and walls, and look as though they had been struck by ball from a war vessel.
 Those who saw the explosion say that the boiler shot upwards some five hun dred feet and then was thrown due west ward and that 1t went with such rapidity that it resembled some great flying ship making loud rumbling noise as it pass ed through the air. The light company was fortunate in having about sixty tons of ice on hand at the time of this explosion. There will be a meeting of the stockholders this afternoon. A. M. McGhee lessee, this afternoon stated that the company would probably make arrangements with the Tuscaloosa Cot ton Seed oil company to place their dyna- mos in their plant some time within the next ten days. and if this was done the city will have lights within ten days.
