terday forced the conclusion that Santa
Claus did not forget to visit Birming-
ham. Not only was the old saint exceed

rich and poor, but the real spirit OF
Christmas seems to have entered into all
hearts, for never before has the climax
| of the holiday season been passed In
greater peace and good will by the people
who have helped to make the great Birm-
ingham district. There were no accidents.
| no tragedies and no castastrophes to mar
Christmas eve and Christmas day. When
one considers the reputation attributed to
Birmingham by newspapers that refer
luridly to "carnivals of crime" it is in
deed remarkable that the Christmas tide
has passed so quietly. Compliments are
zens, while the small boy deserves to be
rewarded for the good judgment he has
exercised in burning his fireworks without

what startling popularity horse-steaks
and mule ditto have attained to among
the French people. Gastronomic experts
assert that horse flesh is as nutritious and

sofa pillow beef steaks, baked pig, pork
chops, country sausage. mutton, venison,

hue and cry among American people for
a choice bit of mule steak or a good

perfectly harmless sort of lunatic, but
some one ought to remind him that he is
an anacronlsm in such attire. The bad
man of the west today is the man with
a calculating eye, indomitable energy and
SURPRISING ability who manipulates mil
lions with wave of his hand, builds rail-

them about until the very rails warp
the man who has the golden touch of
Midas and the man to whom the west
owes its greatness. The poor, staggering
