 The Birmingham Age-Herald celebrates the sixth anniversary of it's present man. agement by publishing a special edition devoted to the description of Birming- hams industries, rightly judging that the growth of Birmingham has been the foun- dation upon which the success of the paper has been erected. Accompanying the special edition, which is printed in quarto form, about the size of Harper S Weekly, and containing twenty-four pages. is an extra large issue of The Age Herald itself. The paper gives every in- dication of being in a prosperous and use- ful condition.

Professor Langley's air ship will soon be ready to compete for honors in the same region and on earth 1t is hard to say whether Mr Corbett or MT.

Although It cannot be denied that the first two subjects are more elevating. there are probably two people who read the latest item about the pugilist to one who keeps up with the comet or the airship.

This department will no doubt prove of lasting benefit to the institution and the progress of it's students will be watched with interest.

Among the numerous latter day professions that have developed during the past ten or twelve years that or the man or woman who designs setting for the great buildings of the coun- try is one of the most difficult and one re- quiring far more aptitude and genius than few years at school will impart.

Coosa Valleyan: The Birmingham Age Herald's annual industrial review for 1903 does that excellent paper, as we'll as the town of Birmingham, great credit. Bir- mingham has great deal to boast about, and its newspapers are equal to any oc- casion that might arise. The Age-Herlds s review covers the whole ground in the nutshell style. It is printed on a good quality of book paper and the pages are four-column, or magazine, giving 1t a most handsome and neat appearance The printers as well as the editors, are deserving of much praise for the me chanical makeup of this souvenir
 We are proud of Birmingham-it is our own Birmingham-and we feel that as long as she prospers her many smaller contemporaries will also prosper. It takes enterprising newspapers well pat ronized by the business of communities to make them go Birmingham has these requisits.

Some queer incidents have hap
pened on President Rooseveslt's trip.
The people nave shown a great desire
to get hold of the president, either
to shake hands with him or touch
his clothing. The correspondent OF
the New York Sun relates the follow
ing incident that occurred in Sioux
Falls while the president was stop
ping temporarily in that city:
When the president goes through a
crowd a peculiar mania for touching
his clothing is sometimes developed
among the women. The hands reach
out from all sides and unless the
federal guards were alert and the
president rather quick to dodge on
his own account he would be fondled
over like a prize pony at every meet
ing place. At Sioux Falls a Ratchet
faced old lady, not a member Of the
divorce ~colOnY-no Ratchet faces there
made a dash for him. She was
shouldered off, but returned to the
charge again and again. Al last, as
the president stepped into his car
rage, she put a skinny claw over Sen
ator kittredge,.s shoulder and slapped
the president vigorously on the fore
arm. The president never glanced
around. There had been no visible
evidence that he noticed bis pursuer.
But he turned to Senator Kittredge
and whispered in his grimnest way

fan Architectural Curiosity.

There are many churches through.
out England which are without tower
or spire, but there are few churches
which can boast OF having a tower and
spire side by side. One of these is the
parish church of Ormskirk in Lanca,
shire. The tower is built over the
porch at the west end, and the spire is
placed as closely as possible to it. The
origin of this architectural freak has
not been ascertained, but there is a ira.
dition to the effect that when Orme,
the Saxon pirate from whom the town
derives its name, decided to construct
a kirk, or church, as an eXpiatory Of.
fering for his evil deeds his two duugh-
tiers quarreled over the design for the
structure. One determined to have a
tower, the other was equally resolved
to have q steeple.
AS neiSler Of them would give way
the pirate chief acceded to both their
wishes, and the curious may see the
tower and spire still keeping watch
side by side on the surrounding coun'

MiSSOuri'S New Senator .

St. Louis Globe Democrat: Mis-
souri's new-fedged senator, W.
j.. Stone, was a witness before
the grand jury in connection with
the baking-powder trust boodling.
1t was a humiliating sight for Mis-
sourians. The man whom Stone
succeeded, George G. Vest, served his
fellow-citizens a great many years
and was never mixed up in a boodling
scandal or accused Of promoting
monopolistic laws at the expense Of
the people. The legislature in
which the $1,000 bills Of the trusts
f1uttered about is the one that elect
ed Stone, and it bestowed what was
once an honor upon him in spite Of
grave charges supported by a great
mass of undeniable proof. For six
years Stone has been saddled upon
the people by a boodling legislature.
His position as a witness in a Doodle
case is but one Of the first reminders
OF a record for which no defense is
now seriously offered. The descent
from Vest to Stone will amaze Con-
gress and the country, but Missouri,
also, must stand it until 1909.

Rescued from Suffering
and Death by
PAINE'S
Celery Compound
THE GREAT nEDICINE.
Mr.. ALFRED BROWN
A Prominent and Popular Citizen, Says:
"After the Use of Paine's Celery Compound,
| Am Now In the Best of Health"

The greatest of modern physicians, Prof.
Edward E. Phelps, NJ. D., Ii. D., after years
of long practice and close scientific study, gave
to suffering and diseased men and women his
marvellous, life giving prescription, with the
conviction and positive knowledge that it had
peculiar virtues and ample powers to cure.
Thousands of the strongest testimonials from
the best known and most reliable men and
women of our country fully sustain the claims
made by DR.. Phelps regarding his incompar-
able Paine's Celery Compound.
One of the most convincing proofs furnished,
comes recently from a gentleman widely
known in the capital city of the Dominion of
Canada. We refer to Mr.. Alfred Brown, or
O'Connor ST., Ottawa, Ont. Mr.. Browns
letter fully demonstrates the fact that the
| greatest sufferer may cast off his or her burden
OF disease and become well, strong, and happy.
1t proves, too, that the great medicine main
tains more fully than ever before its unrivaled
place in the estimation of people of wealth
and social standing as we'll as with the masses.
MIR. Brown says:-
81 acknowledge with thankfulness and
pleasure the fact that l have been cured of a
very painful illness OF eight years standing by
use of Paine's Celery Compound. l had,
during the years of my illness. tried almost all
the advertised medicines without deriving any
good results. was also treated by several Of
the best doctors of this city, hoping to find
that one of them, at least, would understand
my case.
81 was getting worse, and was told was
incurable. J. was indeed in a critical condi-
ton. l could not 60 from the house alone,
as | was liable to sudden collapse. / tried
hospital treatment, but no relief or good results
came to me. could not sleep; anything that
/ ate increased my agonies; l was extremely
weak, restless, tired, and respondent; was
obliged TO walk about with my hands pressed
firmly into my left side to ease my pains; my
feet and hands were cold continually; had
inclination to vomit, had profuse, cold sweats,
quick breathing, and would be racked with
pain for hours at a time.
"After the regular use of Paine's Celery
Compound for a time, l am now in the best of
health, have good appetite, and can use any
kind of food. Thank God l am my old self
once more, all through the use of Paine's
Celery Compound"

The Way Yankton LaCles Do.

~ h"N 1CS Dos
The ladies Of Yankton have adopt
ed some peculiar methods to raise
funas with which to build a church
which will he a credit to the city.
Twelve men were selected to give
$4,000 toward the project and they
didn't come to the center, and after
that other means had to be resorted
to and the Yankton Gazette tells
how the ladies will raise a portion of
the desired fund: ''Some will run
in opposition to the livery barns by
taking a person for a drive for fifty
cents, Others will bake and dispose of
their pastry, n other will establish
a hair dressing parlor and will cater
to the trade Of Yankton ladies and
some have signlfed their intention
Of doing away with servants and
will do their own homework, saving
the wages for the church. Many
other original ideas were brought
out and we venture to say that if
the spirit Of last nights Meeting is
kept up the church will surely be
built.n

KEEP A CHEERFUL MIND.
Not Only When Things Go Well, but
When You Meet Disaster,

To be cheerful when the world is
going well with you is no great virtue.
The thing is to be cheerful under dis
advantageous circumstances If one
has lost money, il business prospects
rail-, II enemies appear triumphant, if
there is sickness of self or those dear
to one, then is it indeed a virtue to be
cheerful. When poverty pinches day
after day, month after month or
through the years as they pass and one
mas ever to deny self of every little
longed for luxury and the puzzle of
how to make a dollar do the work for
two has to be solved, then the man
who can still be cheerful is a hero. He
is a greater hero than the soldier who
faces the lannon's mouth. Such cheer
fulness is the kind that we need to cul-
tivate.
To acquire tits self command we
need to think of many things. We
need to guard against giving way to
Irritation about little things. If we can
maintain self control in small matters,
we shall have less difficulty in main
tanning it when great matters are to be
met. If we meet with irreparable
losses, we must readjust our lives to fit
the new conditions. There is no great
evil so bad but that it might have been
worse. Let rs congratulate ourselves
that the worst is not yet. There is
truth in the saying that "every cloud
has a silver lining" Though it may
for a time look so dark we can see no
CLINT of the silver, yet we know it is
there.-Milwaukee Journal.

Who is going to christen the good
snip South Dakota when she is re.
leased from the ways? This is a Ques-
ton that is all important, seeming
~, at the present time. A lady out
in Cheyenne claims to be the first
white born cilhd in the state and
thinks she is entitled to the distinc-
stion. 1t has been suggested that in
asmuch as this lady's claim is being
disputed somewhat the daughter of
Governor Herreid be accorded the
honor of breaking the bottle of wine
over the side of the ship. The idea
is not a bad one and doubtless
would be satisfactory to the majority
of the people.
