NEW WORDADDED TO
 ENGLISH LANGUAGE
"ELEVEN-FlFTY-FlvE" IS THE LATEST THING IN "SLANG."# HOW IT ORIGINATED AND WHAT
 IT MEANS.

"Eleven-fifty-fve."
 That's the latest thing in Birmingham slang"
 It's new word in the colloquial vocab ulary.
 It's verb-transitive and intranstive The origin of the word was suggested by the fact that on his last day in the office of acting governor, Dr. Cunningham wrote a letter endorsing the railway rate views of B. B. Conner.
 It vas coined by political cartoon that was piinted recently in The Age Herald.
 It is less than ten days old, and yet it is on the tip of everyones tongue. In the hotels, at the city hal in the shops. OF the street-wherever one goes, one hears it.
 Eleven fifty-fve."
 It's a verb-transitive and ntransitive.
 It means to do the unexpected thing; to act reluctantly; to reverse ones position on a question; to change long-cherished opinion; to do something for effect; to curry favor with a person with view to individual gain; to get there in the nick of time; to make futile effort, etc, etc
 In commenting on the origin and popu- lar use of this word yesterday, a we'll known student of etymology said
 |" Eleven-fifty-five. will stick in the language. It has come to stay. Many man can be governor or draw cartoon. Few men can add a word to the language of the people. To do so is a great achieve ment. It is really great honor.
 "I don't mean to say that Dr. Cunning ham really was guilty of eieven-ffty- flying in fhe Conner letter incident. but the publication of The Age-Herald car toon. apart from the merits of the case has fixed the word in the language. Dr. Cunningham may be wholly guiltless of eleven-ffty flying but he will be remem- bered forever as the man who incidentally added to the mother tongue this exceed ingly expressive word. He may not like the manner of it's origin, but he cannot fail to be proud of the great achieve ment.
 eIhe word is trihe cumbersome. but it will grow in favor nevertheless. I pre- dict that when used 1t will be abbreviated with the numerals. For instance. in print 1t will appear thus: You're 11:55-ing on me or He 11:55-ed me-

 The monk was finally rescued by a friend who had known him In better days. but his spirit was broken and he knew not happiness so his monkship became Respondent and thought often of his lady love.
 His mind became unbalanced from wor- rying and moaning for her, and finally they had to cage him. His fame spread abroad as a broken hearted monk in this commercial age when sentiment is al- most a thing of the past, and many went to see him and pay homage.
 He was in cage for a long time, but on the last election day the excitement of the mayoralty race worked on his ner vous system and revived the old warrior spirit in him. He broke from his cage and was a prominent factor in the elec- tion of George B. Ward.
 On election night, worn out and fatigued from his labors of the day. he wandered about the town with nowhere to lay his head. and finally he almost despaired of sleeping that night unless he lay In the park on a bench like many another poor broxen-down creature.
 When out on the North Highlands he spied the residence of one Connie w. Austin, and he knew that happiness was his He knocked and was admitted, and there he resided until the past week when a young society swain discovered him, and with the exclamation Harry Lehr for me-" he purchased the monk and presented him to the fair lady.

Birmingham's society is the most metro politan in the south
 That fact was demonstrated Sunday when one of the best known and most popular members of the social set pre- sented a lady friend of his with a very handsome monkey The fashionable gift in social circles now is an animated pho- tograph.
 The monk is the prettiest of it's species in the city of Birmingham and has par ticipated in more than one social affair in the far-on jungles of Africa
 He drank his afternoon tea from the half of cocoanut when leader in jun gle society, and tripped the light fantastic by the light of the moon on the green sward in the far away wilderness.
 It is reported in social circles that this same monkey was the principal in one of the most heart-rending tragedies that ever occurred in Africa, and that because his lady love forsook him, he is now in America.
 The monk was the original lover of the Jungle Queen, who has been the topic of so many touching ballads of recent months, but he was unfortunately like the esquire of low degree, who loved the kings daughter of Hungarie,'
 When the final blow came and he gave up hope of ever claiming the lady as his bride, his monkshlp decided to de- part from his native land and hunt for excitement in other climes that he might forget her. So he embarked on a fruit schooner and landed in Mobile, about the time that Jelks and Higdon were having their fiercest dispute about regimental af- fairs. Seeing the opportunity to engage in active warfare, the monkey offered his services to Colonel Higdon and served through the campaign.

pR. JONES' LECTURE.
He Speaks Interestingly on "The Re
 Demption Of a Soul"


 "The Redemption of a Soul" was the subject of an interesting address made last night in the oPllock-Stevens insti- ute by Jenkn Lloyd Jones of Chicago The lecture was the first in a series of four to be given on successive nights at 8 o'clock in the Pollock-Stevens institute.
 The latter portion of Goethes Faust. formed the subject about which pr. Jones spoke. The lecturer pointed out that Goethe's masterpiece was the work of 50 years of his life, begun as 1t was when the author was twenty-one and finished after he was four score years of age In the earlier portion of the poem the temptation of Faust is pre- sonted, as is also the yielding of the character to the more sensual emotions O his being. That, in thus yielding, Faust was guilty of shining might not be denied, but 1t was a form of that "am- brosial sin'-frst and passionate love which has been the theme of almost ai great literature from the boys Of Homers 'Iliad" and Virgils Aeneid' all the way down. Indeed. the subject formed no small portion in the best literature of the Old Testament and the New. It was a form of sinfulness which, while writing condemnation, should en- list also sense of infinite compassion 1In the later portion of the poem, Goethe had worked out the redemption of Faust's soul. In this process the dross had been eliminated, and his heart chartened and purged of evil, had risen upon his dead self to higher things He had come to know that life's higher destiny Is not the satisfying of sensual emotions natural in youth though may be the tendency to satisfy them, but rather the enriching the world by work ing cnduringly in behalf of ones fellow men Conscious of this great truth, Faust had dedicated his later years of life 60 the service of humanity.
 Tn the popular consciousness said Dr. Jonss, it was customary to think of the character of Faust only as it was de- lineated in the earlier portion of the poem The later portion of Goethe's mastsrpiece in which the evolution of Faust's character was portrayed, was generally lost sight of.
 Dr. Jones' lecture was listened to with rapt attention by a large and highly in- telligent audience. His second lecture. ''The Three Reverences," will begin to- night.

INTEREST GROWING
 IN CYCLE RAGING
IT IS EXPECTED THAT THE SALE OF WHEELS THlSySUMMER WILL SHOW A REMARKABLE IN- cREAs OVER LAST YEAR.

Indications from all over the country are that the interest in cycling will show a large increase this year. The manufac- turers of wheels in all parts of the coun- try have anticipated this increased de- mand, and expect their sales this year to show large increase over last years business.
 Jack Riddle, who is authority on bi- cycle matters in Birmingham. ssvs that the indications are for a large increase In the business here, as well as else where. He said:
 The increase will be pretty general all over the country The manufacturers are making fine wheel at a very low price now, and this tends to increase the use of the wheel.
 People are realizing every day that the wheel is very useful thing, and they are being used for business purposes more and more. I think that there will be very general increase in the use Of wheels this year in all parts of the country.
 Birmingham win show a less increase
 
 than many other places, for the roads about the city are not In as good con dition as they were several years ago.
 The past winter was hard one on the roads, as the freeze went deeper than the macadam is laid, and injured the paving If the roads improve any the sale of wheels increases as good roods arc essential tq pleasure when one is rnins u wheel. This Is also true of the use or automobiles"
