The Liuht of Other DAYS.

Oft in the stily night,
Ere sIumber's chain has bound me.
Fond Memory brings the light
OF other days around me:
The smiles, the tears,
OF boyhood's years,
The words Of love then spoken:
The ewes that shOne,
Now dimmed and gone.
The cheerful hearts now broken!
Thus in the stilly night. -
Ere slumber's chain has bound me.
Sad memory brings the light.
OF other days around me.
When I remember all
The friends so linked together
I've seen around me fall
i Like leaves in wintry weather,
feel like one
Who treads alone
Some banquet hall deserted,
Whose lights are fled,
Whose garlands dead,
And all but he departed!
Thus in the stilly night,
Ere slumber's chain has bound me,
Sad Memory brings the light
OF other days around me.

His Eears.

If I should grow SO very rich
That some sharp miss, with caustic pen
Would give her skirt sassy hitch
And write me up I'd tremble when
She'd prove beyond a doubt It's true
| fell from off a steamers plank
And I ate cloves in order to
Make all the girls believe l drank
Supposing should wake and find
Myself millionaire. and she
Should get a notion in her mind
To take an awful crack at me-
Supposing she would say that I
Invested in gold mining stock!
I'd journey to the future via
The Sd street or the Woodward dock
SuppOsing when l wealthy grow
She would investigate my past
And heartlessly proceed to throw
The hooks in me from first to last
SuppOsing that ! couldn't hide
My secret and the world she'd tell
That [ stood in a crowd and tried
To sing Down in a Diving Bcll!''
Oh. not for me the wreath of famei
l crave no riches-not bit.
Though poverty has lots of shame
There is a cover over it.
'Tis not set forth in magazines. :.
Ye gods. what if some healtlesS thing
Would write that in my loves first dream
My wife taught me embroidering!

FATHER OF FUCHS
 MAY ARRIVE TODAY
YOUNG MAN CHARGED WITH PASSING SEVERAL HUNDRED DOLLARS WORTH OF WORTH LESS PAPER.

Clarence N. Hughs, the young Georgian arrested by Detectives Bodeker and Ham, ilton Saturday on five charges of forgery. is still in the city prison. The young man says he realizes his condition, and that 1t Is far from a pleasant situation.
 The prisoner has recovered from the ef fects of his dissipation, but talks very little about the trouble. He realizes that if his father and friends do not come to his assistance and advance him the money to reimburse A. P. Butler, w. c. Christy and others who cashed checks Or drafts presented by him, he will pos sibly be indicted.
 Detective Bodelser visited tho city prison yesterday and had a. long talk with Hughs but received no additional information concerning him. The officer took Hushs to a restaurant and purchased dinner for the young man. The detective states that Hughs informed him that he was posi- tive that his father would help him to get out of the trouble. The young man assured the officer that If he was for tunate enough to settled with people in Birmingham he would never get in O similar position again.
 The victims of Hughs are still inclined not to prosecute him, and only desire the return of the amounts advanced him on the worthless paper. The father of the young man is expected to arrive to- day, and it is thought that the necessary money to reimburse those who advanced to Hughs will be raised.
 Hughs states that he came to Birming- ham from St. Louis and the local officers are desirous of ascertaining his record in the Mound City. With such an end in view communication with officers in the metropolis of Missouri was opened yes terday.

The Birmingham Morton club will take the members of the board of revenue of Jefferson county and the mayor and alder men of Birmingham for ride over the county roads and the city streets tomor- row morning.
 Twenty or more cars belonging to the various members of the club will be used on this trip, which will probably last for several hours. The object of the trip is to show the members of the two bodies the condition of some of the roads and streets.
 Monday night an invitation was extended to the board of revenue and the mayor and aldermen to take the trip. and these bodies named Tuesday morning as the most convenient time for them. In accord ance with the decision, President R. S. Munger of the motor club has issued in vitations for tho trip.
 The party will leave the county court house at g o'clock. and every member of the club has been urged to be present to notify MT. Munger if they would take the trip, and how many people their car would accommodate. Nearly a score of the members have complied with the re- quest of the president.
 The trip will probably consume sev- eral hours as 1t is the desire of the club to carry the members of the board of rev.

enue over all of the principal maeadam roads of the county, pointing out the va rious defects in the road.
 The trip is taken in connection with the general movement which has been made to have the roads of the county im- proved. The question has been agitated for the past month or two. and the re- suits have been very marked. The board of revenue has instructed the road super visor to use the entire force available to improve the macadam roads. The dirt roads have recently been repaired and are in good condition.
 The road forces are putting the ma- cadam roads in repair as rapidly as pos sible The ruts and washes are being filled with slag and chert, and the ap- breaches to the bridges are being leveled and improved.
 On the trip tomorrow the members of the board of revenue will be able to see where repairs are most needed. They have already stated that they would do all in their power to improve the condition of the roads of the county and make them the best in Alabama.
 The club also desires to draw the at tention of the city fathers to the condi- tion of some of the city streets, many of which are said to be badly in need of re- pairs. The club hopes that the city will take up the matter of improving these streets as the board of revenue Is improv- ing the roads.

BIRMINGHAM MAN BUYS
 FINE RACING STALLION

a stallion combining the qualities of Beauseant, his impressive beauty, for he has no equal in this respeet-his royal breeding and his phenominal speed. His faultless conformation has made him one of the most talked of stallions of the day.
 "As a s-year-old. trained by black smith and given but little opportunity, he paced the Nashville track In 2:07& and was purchased the following winter for Terrace farm. the price being probably the highest ever paid for an untried un- marked colt. He comes from one of the greatest families in the country. As a sire he is going to be a great success, as will be amply demonstrated when the youngsters by him are shown in the ring
 The stallion Is considered a great show horse and will not only be kept in the stud in Birmingham, but will be shown at the horse show when next held. The horse was probably bought as direct result of the horse show and is one of the first animals to be purchased by local men to compete with the foreign exhi- bitors next year.

TO ELECT OFFICERS
 AT MEETING HERE
LEAGUE PEOPLE WILL GATHER IN BIRMINGHAM DECEMBER 11-MAY TAKE PART IN POLITICS.

The Alabama State Anti-saloon league will convene in Birmingham December Il and will be in session two days.
 The meeting will be one of much inter- est, and 1t is thought that many impor- tant matters will come before it. The annual election of officers will take place, and already there is much interest as to who will be elected to the various places.
 The Anti-Saloon league in this state was only recently organized when G. W. Young, formerly of Tennessee. was made superintendent and perfected the organi- zation. It has grown rapidly since then and has become a powerful organiza- ton
 The league all over the United States has taken more general interest recently in politics. It has, however, only entered the fight when 1t thought that one or the other of the candidates was not suited for the office, or was opposed to the prin- ciples of the league. The league was recognized as one of the main forces that defeated Herrck in Ohio In tho recent election.
 A director of the Alabama organiza- ton said recently that 1t was hardly prob- able that the league would take an &C., tive part in the campaign for the demo- critic nomination for governor in this state. He said that Lieutenant Governor R. M. Cunningham had stated that he was in sympthy with the work of the league. and that he understood that neither Of the other candidates were opposed to the movement.
 The league has already given notice that 1t will make fight in the next legislature for local option law and that 1t ia con- fldent of securing the desired legislation.

There is beautiful blending of the north and south, with the greatest possibilities of any southern city. This is based on marvel of wealth and 1t is wonderful that so much has been accomplished in the way of progressive ness and upbuilding in such compara- lively short time. The business men of Chicago have always sympathized with the south. We had no civil war, but we had a fire that almost resulted In It's total destruction. It has been rebuilt out of nothing, but our eyes were always looking to the future. Everywhere we have been on this trip we have noticed the thrift and happy condition of the people of the south. but nowhere was it as marked as in Birmingham. We shall return home deeply impressed with what we have seen here and I am satisfied that thls city and Chicago will be more close ly related in the future"

At 10 o'clock this morning they will be rendered q re- ception by the merchants in the Comnler- clal club rooms. and all the business men are urged to be present.
