From the Cullman Tribune.
Every time we go to Birmingham we
are impressed with the hustle and hustle
of that progressive city and are more con-
vinced that it means a second Pittsburg.
The vast resources of the district are

Every visitor from the north and east

SHE SANG.
I'M Harper's Weekly.

From Harper's WeekIy
Director Conried tells story of the
embarrassment evinced by young wo-
man at a reception given Madame Melba
in Philadelphia last year.
1t appears that the young woman in
question was an ardent admirer of the
songstress and that to mutual friends
she had previously expressed her intense
desire TO meet the celebrity When how
ever her turn came to be presented ia
MeIba. the young woman was so COM
pletely overcome that she st her self
possession entirely. Blushing deeply and
twisting about the rings on her fingers,
she managed to gasp:

~ Ut of a total Of 24,52s emigrants
W. who left the ports of Bremen and
Hamburg in January of this year,
q, 255 came to the United States, and only
Sl7 were booked for all of South and Cen
trail America. The other 1000 were dis
tributed all over the rest of the world. A
few of them, but only a few. went to
Germany's possessions in Africa. Some
went to England, few went to Canada.
There are two points of interest for
Americans in those figures. One is that
there country is the favorite among emf
grants from all parts of Europe, for Bre-
men and Hamburg are not emigrant ports
for Germany alone, but for much of east
ern Europe. The other is that the drift
of emigrants to South America and the
imagined menace to that region on that
account are immensely overestimated.
Just at present the inflow of immigrants
to the United States Is far above all pre-
vious records. The arrivals will be at
least 100000 in the calendar year 1906.

OF the necessity of stretching his neck
for results. Slowly, but surely, the pink
fluid sank in the glass, as the boy rolled
his eyes about and deigned not a word.
What conversation could be more divert
ing than the contemplation of straw
berry soda? None; and therefore, he
did not talk. Did that happy >youngster
think of tomorrow? Did debts, bill col
lectors and worldly cares mar the Sc
renity of that blissful moment? Was
there a cloud on his horizon and did the
weight of responsibility rest upon his
shoulders? Not bit of it. Contentment
reigned in his soul-a perfect joy and
peace that he will find hard to attain
when he grows older.
All ah! Mrs Pat Cambell has Rugged
a tiger. 1t was not large tiger-only a
little cub-but what must be the feelings
of chagrin and blank dispair which seized
upon Pinky Panky Poo when that pris-
tine poodle realized that his mistress
had turned away! OF the two it were
better to hug tiger cub, even at the
risk of personal injury, than poodle.

Miss Laura Gill, dean of Barnard col

women old maids?-says that there is

Agreed! If Miss Gill means that it would
be better to eliminate piano practice. vo-
cal lessons and "elocuting" she will be
hailed as a deliverer.

If you feel that sleepy, lazy, happy sem

liver. IT'S good once in a while to drift

press it. Happy is the man who can
slacken the pace at least once a year,
