Greater Pitisburu.

The spirit of concentration and cen
tralization has reached Pittsburg, and
all of the suburban towns and local
tiles are to be merged into the chief
municipality. The necessary legisla-
ton is to be secured during the pres
ent session of the legislature, and be-
fore the year is ended it is expected
Greater Pittsburg will be organized.
At present Pittsburg is rated in the
census tables as a city possessing but
321, GIG inhabitants. The new Pitts
burg will hold over 100000, and in
1910 it may be outranled by New
York, Chicago and Philadelphia only.
The contest for fourth place will,
however, be lively one, the contest
ants besides Greater Pittsburg being
st. Louis, Baltimore and Boston.
The shipments in this district are
twenty million tons a year, excelling
every other southern city in fact, leav-
ing every other southern city far IN
the lurch. Lut the shipments at
Pittsburg in 1890 aggregated $685.
$50 tons, or nearly as much as the
shipments at the six greatest ports in
the world. Pittsburg stands supreme
in tonnage among American cities,
and the day is fast coming when Bir-
mingham's tonnage will be awarded
second place. The day is fast coming
when the tonnage of Greater Biz
mingham will exceed that of any
other American town, Greater Pitts
burg of 1905 alone excepted.

IN HOTEL LOB3IE
Street WhistIers.

There ought to be an ordinance in this
city to restrain the street whistler" re-
marked a visitor yesterday IN taking
stroll round town today 1 met more than
dozen grown men and many more boys
VINO whistled loudly in my very face.
some OF them were gray haired white
men-some dirty black negroes, FORUM
ately none of them were of the female sex.
This whistling on the public streets
suggests two ideas-one is that there is
an extraordinary amount of musical ex-
uberanee here, the other that there are
many impolite white men and impudent
negroes. The public streets are not places
for an exercise of the whistling art, and
the custom of which I speak ought to be
broken up.
Some years ago I visited Birmingham,
and while here a white man was arrested
under the charge of "disorderly conduct"
carried before the mayor, who was then
your police judge, was convicted and
fined $3.50. His offense was singing
When the Robins Nest Again on the
public streets. The song was all right,
but the musical recital occurred in the
wrong place. 1 thought the judgment of
the court was correct. Now I would like
to see one or more of your chronic street
whistlers brought up for the much more
aggravating offense of whstling on the
streets"

Possible Lumber Famine.

The recent forestry congress has
aroused the people-some of the peo-
ple-to the need of stopping the
waste and destruction of the forests
of the country. Congress has been
asked to put, so far as it can, the
forests of the country in control of
the Department of Agriculture.
The subject of forest preservation
is at any rate attracting increased at
tention, especially in districts inter-
ested in irrigation. Ali know there
can be no irrigation if the forests are
swept away from the heads of the
water courses which are to supply
the much-needed water.
But irrigation is not the only inter-
est deeply involved in the preserya-
ton of our forests to the utmost pos
sible limit of time. Our mines need
timber and always will. Our rail-
roads need tics, and apparently ever
will. Cities and ships must be built,
and so must the homes of a vast ag-
ricultural population. All of these
great needs must be met in good part
from the remaining sixty-three and a
half million acres now covered with
timber.
The problem at present consists in
part in the preservation or prolonga-
ton of our present supply by prevenr-
ing useless waste, and by replanting
and renewing the trees that the de-
mands of the country inevitably abb
sorb Here in Alabama all waste of
timber shoull be stopped, for every
acre of it, If not valuable now, soon
will become so, and no farmer, no
landowner, in this state can longer
afford to waste single tree.

SHE WAS A PHANTOM OF DE.
LIGHT.

BY William Wordsworth.
She was a phantom of delight
When first she cleaned upon my sight;
A lovely apparition, sent
To be a moments ornament;
Her eyes as stars of twilight fair;
Like twilight's, too, her dusky hair;
But all things else about her drawn
From May-time and the cheerful dawn;
A dancing shape, an image gay,
To haunt, to startle and waylay
saw her upon nearer view,
spirit, yet a woman, too!
Her household motions light and free,
And steps of virgin-liberty;
A countenance in which did meet
Sweet records promises as sweet;
creature not too bright or good
For human natures daily food,
For transient sorrows, simple wiles.
Praise, blame. love, kisses. tears and
smiles.
And now l see with eye serene,
The very pulse of the macnlne
being breathing thoughtful breath,
traveller between life and death;
The reason firm, the temperate will,
Endurance, foresight. strength and skill;
perfect woman. nobly planned
To warn, to comfort and commando
And yet spirit still and bright.
With something Of an angel-light.

| dices, and in the true spirit of a story
book heroine, she fell into his arms.
Even the scene previous to and atten-
dant upon the wedding was not omitted,
and this was followed by the rage and
fury of the lover who supposed himself
to have been deceived by his bride, who he
believed untrue to him.
"She threw her arms about him weeping,
kissing and caressing him with her deli
cate touches until he almost succumbed
to her endearments," reads the text.
''The warm glow of her presence, intoxi-
eating in it's effects. suffused his senses
drawing her to him with strange, pc.
culiar and irresistible force; but no-the
thought of that kiss. of those words OF
love, of-or-he dared not think further
He pushed her from him. Again jealousy,

the psychologically produced passion wore

In another section he tells how the lover

The scene portrayed was at the doorway
of a country mansion. The moon was high,
the air balmy.
The man and woman walk slowly up the
pathway. when suddenly he grasps her in
his arms, kisses her again and again, the
moon beams full upon them and lights up
the scene.
Such night as described had to be
waited for long and patiently. A pathway
leads up to the Taber home. The condi-

The tael is about seventy-five cents
in our money. Russia did but small
part of the work, and her demands
outran those of any other country,
although size had determined at the
time to hold Manchuria. Japan sent
the most men to Pel1in, $4,000, while
Russia sent but 5000. China, however,
was helpless, and the eleven nations
presented claims regardless of losses
suffered or expenses incurred. China
accepted all the demands, uneven as
they were as between each other, and
unjust as total.
This vast indemnity is to be paid
in thirty-nine lnstallments with inter-
est at 4 per cent, all in gold. Import
duties have teen increased 5 per cent
in China and additional taxes have
been levied, and the installments are
promptly paid.
The annual share of the United
States in this international loot is just
about $4,000, and already all claims
of the missionaries have been paid out
of it. What is to be done with the re-
naming payments?
About $22,O00,O00 all told remains
To be paid. we cannot honorably ac
cept it, and If we refuse to accept 1t
we will insult the ten other nations
engaged in the Boxer war. But the
national conscience has asserted itself
in similar cases, and it may be that 1t
will refuse much longer to receive
money wrung by force from an abso-
lutely helpless country-a country,
too, that is overtaxed, a country that
needs all the money it can raise for
home demands.
We noel not trouble ourselves
about Russia or any other country

other ten countries find out each for
itself what best COMFORTS with its dig

PLAN OF AN AUTHOR TO
ATTAIN PURE REALISM
From the Chicago Inter Ocean.

From the Chicago Inter Ocean.
N STORY built on a psychological
Y study of emotions and passions
with a living model on which to
try out" the parts, and faithful por-
trayal of personal experiences in love-
making, IL what Clarence Wilbur Tabor
of Evanston, is bringing out.
The heroine, known to the stage as
Alice Moulton. has been transferred
through the aid of psychology and real
ism to the pages of a bound volume, and
in the world of letters is probably the
most unique production on record.
In order that this may be done love
scenes a passionate proposal of marriage,
the first awakening of two affinities in
the soft moonlight, the rage of a jealous
man, and disappointed sweetheart have
for the purpose of securing realism been
acted out like play between the author
and his model

ton, jealousy, forgiveness, earthly REIN
carnation, physiology of passion, psychol-
ogy of love, all manufactured in a labor
atory in laboratory fashion, are but few

fascinating romance.
In his own home, at 1917 Ridge court, in
the presence of MS wife, C. Wilbur Taber
says he puts himself In the position
of his various male characters while his
beautiful model. properly costumed, placed
herself in the position of the female
characters.
Taber understood the part he wanted
to emphasize. and with hard study and
continuous application his model assimu-
lated her portions of the study. Each
memorized the part assigned. and went
through the motions.
In the beginning, where the characters
are in their childhood. the children of
the author were used as models. and
they assisted their father, by-sometimes
consciously, sometimes unconsciously-go-
ing through just the scenes and exper-
ierces he wanted to understand.
Later on, in the first flush or youthful
love and passion. his beautiful model,
dressed in the guise of country lassie,
ccyly repu,sed his advances and grew up

hood listening with rapt emotion to the
horeyed words of the impassloned lover,
but finally realizing her duty, drove him
from her.
In the other parts where other charac-
ters appeared, the author as clergyman
looked up to and admired by all, wooed
and won in the mimic show the love and
affection of the other leading character
with the further assistance of his model,
who, again arrayed as beautiful leader
of the fashionable set of her locality,
toyed with her fan, used all the wiles and
graces of a polished daughter of fashion.
while he in his assumed dignified calling

THE VALUE OF EXAMPLE.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
To have your child truthful. be truth

To have him kind to others, be your
self kind to others.
To have him honest. present to him

The chief part of a child's knowledge
comes through observation. Acts mean
more to him than speech.
To have him temperate, be temperate
in all things.
Prove to him by your life that good
name Is to be chosen before great riches.
Teach him that riches are not to be
despised, but should never be got by
doing harm to others; that when ac-
quired should be treated as a trust. not
as a hoard.

Some men are mean enough to want

Every man has a pretty good opinion
