ENSIGN vREDENBERe LEAVES.
Salvation Army Officers Leave for
 Work in Other Fields.

Ensign and Mrs. Frank Vredenburg of the Salvation Army left yesterday after noon for Norwalk. O., at which point they will take charge of the work of the army and will make that their future home.
 These popular Salyationists have been in charge of the work here for some time and their efforts have resulted in some very creditable work by the Salvation Army in Birmingham. During their stay a large part of the debt which has hung over the army here has been raised and in addition to this the field of operations of the members has been greatly ex- tended.
 Both expressed themselves before leav- ing as highly pleased with the assistance the Birmingham people had given them, and both regretted to leave the numerous friends they had made during their stay.

TICKET RECEIPTS LARGE.
Sales at the Union Passenger Station
 Show Big Increase.

The receipts at the Union ticket office in the passenger station were more than twice as large on Saturday as they were on the Fourth of July last year. This Is just another evidence of the growth of the city and the immense increase in the railroad traffic. The crowds were so large it was with difficulty that they could be accommodated with the small office space allotted to the ticket sell CTS.
 About s700o was taken in through the windows last Saturday, while on the Fourth of July last year there was only a little over $Soo0. There was a constant jam at the depot all hours of the day and much complaint was heard about the small space.

SAM GOT THE EXPERIENCE.
Negro Took Money to Buy Ticket and
 Rapidly Disappeared.

Sam Ward, an innocent looking coun- try darky, had a smooth game worked on him Saturday by which he was scientif- ically deprived of the use of s4.9O forever, and his friend is being looked for by the police.
 It seems that Sam wanted to take a trip to Saluria to see some country cousins and had the requisite amount with which to purchase transportation. A neatly dressed friend of Sam's promis- ed to get him a ticket and took the money and moved in the direction of the ticket window. He has never been seen since, The ticket still remains in the rack at the ticket office. Sam is minus nearly $5 and some negro is that much richer. Sam got all the experience.

ADVICE TO YOUNG
ON WAY TO START.
Much Is to BE Done Before settled
Life,

Much Is to BE Done Before settled
Life.
In Grace Methodist Church last night
before a large congregation Rev. Chas.
A. jackson preached of the humanized
life. it's trials and duties. His text was
Psalms 1879: "Wherewithal shall a
young man cleanse his way?"
1.-The Scriptures are a guide TO life, v
said Mr.. Jackson, lat every stage.
Gods word is a lamp 10 our feet in
old age and a light to our path In
youth. Young men and young women
can find nowhere else in all literature
such perfect guide to health, happi-
ness and honor. The prophets and
patriarchs often spoke to the youths Of
the land. Christ gives a large part OF
his ministry and st. Paul many ex-
hortations and warnings to them. Yet
the young life is that period when men
demand loose reins or none at all You
hear young men say, I would join the
church or I would be a Christian but
that would take my privileges from
meas IL A man had any privilege TO
disobey the one who gives him every
breath he draws. Besides Christianity
has no legitimate privilege or real
thing to give-long life, fullness Of life,
usefulness happiness and heaven.
The responsible period is the time
when the whole life and character is
being moulded. You are setting your
habits and that means you are fixing
your destiny, for habits make charac-
ter and character destiny. Even now
II is impossible for some of you ever
to become what you might have been.
You have already sown to the wind
and must reap the whirlwind. You
have sown the seeds Of disease and ILL
health and planted the germs Of life
failure and an unhappy old age.
Life preparation is the time of
preparation for life. Every moment is
golden. After marriage and the be-
ginning of a home you cannot pre-
pare. Many young men have mar
ried hastily without this preparation
TO find later on. when equipped, men
are getting all the leading places that
they have played the fool Some
times the greatest achievements are
contingent on accomplishments in
small things. This is day when ex-
perts are in demand In all lines Good
men are turned down every day in
the more important places for lack
of thorough preparation. The day CT
the mediocre is past. Use your odd
times in reading good books instead
of keeping late hours
"1mpurity is the great peril Keep
your mind pure. Set a guard about
your thoughts. Men always fall first
in thought. Use heroic treatment II
necessary. If the mind is well guard
ed the body's purity will be easy. You
ought to be able to offer in marriage
some day all the purity and upright
ness of character you desire in the
angel woman you have in mind for
a wife. When you start to build your
house be certain you can carry into
It as its foundation not only the no
BILE woman of your love, but a true
heart and a pure life"
