Just a few minutes after the Jefferson and Bijou theatres had dropped their curtains Saturday night and as the peo- pie were leaving the playhouses, the street sweeping department supplied re- past of dust and microbes which was not enjoyable to say the least.
 The negro driver evidently under the influences of a little too much red eye" shook the reins over the backs of his pet pair of animals and trotted them down Third avenue from Twentieth to Eigh- teen and stirred up dust that mace "Brer Rabbits famous attempt look cheap beside it.
 The clouds of dust creled in beautiful figures up and down the street. and the people of Birmingham were given free lesson in the spread of disease. The dust furnished a fitting climax tc the

STREET SWEEPERS SUPPLY
 REPAST AFTER THEATRES

cold weather which had already produced sore throats enough.
 The trouble Saturday night was lack of sprinkling The sprinkler had been run down the center of Third avenue. and about 12 meet in the middle of the street had been sprinkled half an hour before the sweepers passed.
 About 12 feet on either side of the car tracks and next to the pavement the street was not sprinkled at all, and as soon as the drivers reached thls por- ton of their work they proceeded to trot their horses, as if an ordinary walk would not have stirred enough dust
 Nobody would have minded the noisy yelling of one of the drivers if 1t had been unaccompanied by the dust he raised. but the two things were too much for people with the patience of Job.

 Doubtless the texture of our best thoughts and hopes, and aspirations. is of fibre with that of the thoughts. hopes, aspirations of those whose good ness and greatness We would memoralze; and surely We can honor them best in that monument which will record their names in everlasting association with the deeds of q wise charity" we can serve them best by letting them be our nspirers in the GhrstlY service of humanityif Is not this what aSc great and good man must choose for his death In a helped and bettered world ;-helped and bettered by the inspiration of his presence here that could not die?
 No Help From Iron Monster.
 Ay, We shall make no mistake If in some way We act upon the suggestion of our bg-hearted fellow-citizen, who preached to us all a great sermon in the columns of the Age-Herald last Monday. Better, infinitely better, an endowment fund for the charity wards of our hos pitals and in each hospital simple tab
 
 and service of whom the fund was cre- ated- better this, infinitely as a monu- ment to our pioneers than a monstrous painted figure. with the name of a pagan god towering on his pedestal over the material resources of our valleys, hills and mountansl Those material re- sources will not be forgotten, nor allowed to lie undeveloped where they are There is no danger of that. They are known to ha bnt md ba world Is going to appropriate them to it's use. But there is danger, constant dan ger that the body and soul of the hu- man developer be forgotten in the ma terial resources he develops; there Is danger. constant danger that the mere production of material wealth may come to seem more important than the human welfare of the wealth-producer and what man uses be rated of higher value than i what man is.
 And this danger no pulseess, lifeless iron monster in the image of man, stand ing above us would help to save us from-nay. rather,f might such a figure. standing above ug obstruct the way of our better saving.
 This community we call Birmingham Is not here just to dig tons of coal and iron out of the earth and add them to its wealth. It is not here just to develop nat ural resources and grow in r-aterial big ness. It is not here that some men may become rich by means of other men. It is here, in the providence of the living God, chiefly and primarily, that manhood may be developed. and grow greater in spiritual greatness; that humanity may come in touch with and be helped by hu- manity; that here may rise on a founda- ton of love, truth, justice, mutual for bearanee and mutual self-sacrifice, a tempIe glorious of human brotherhood, wherein God Himself will rejoice to dwell.
 Nay,we shall make no mistake if in the sense that our God Is God not of the dead but of the living, we elect to be friends and brethren not of the dead, but of the livingi

SNAPPED JEWELER
 OUT OF B|G STONE
Smooth Trick Worked by Crook
 on Abbott's Store
SUBSTITUTION WAS MADE
When MT. King Was shown Big Diamond He Removed 1t From Tray and Put Smaller One In
 It's Place.

The old trick of swapping a small diamond for larger one was success fully worked Saturday morning by a man supposed to be named King on =. II. Abbott 2 Bros, 1905 and 1907 Second ave- nue.
 King left diamond worth about $45 in the tray and carried out one worth about S45O It is supposed that he left the city on noon train Saturday and Is many miles away from Birming- ham by this time. about siOo to the good as the result of halfhour's work. About Il o'clock Saturday morning King walked into Abbott's store and John Rosenstihl waited on him The man stat stone for young lady friend of his, and the several trays filled with rings more or less costly were shown him. Turned His Head.
 King looked them over examined sev- eral and thought over the matter for some time MT, Rosenstihl turned his head for a second and then the substitution was effected. When he looked at the man again the swapping had been accomp- lished, and a stone weighing about half carat had been placed on the plush box instead of one weighing a little over 2s4 carats.
 King remarked that he did not see any thing that he thought would suit the lady, and that he would bring her in the store about 1 o'clock and allow her to choose her own ring. He walked out and the trays were returned to the showcase and the substitution was not discovered. Substitution Discovered. A short time afterwards MT. Rosenstihl took the same trays out to show another customer the rings, and then discovered the substitution He notified the police and the matter was turned over to the detective department. They have not yet succeeded in locating the man or the ring
 It seems that Saturday morning man answering the same description went to Iinnehan's jewelry store In the Hotel Hillman and had a small stone weighing about half a carat taken from stud and set in a ring. It is supposed that this was done in order that the swap could be effected on another jeweler
 The trick is an old one. All jewellers keep their rings in trays which have a little separate slit for each ring. Each and every one of these slits has ring all the time This is done to prevent peo- pie stealing rings when they are being shown by the ieweler It is therefore impossible to make way with one of the rings unless another is substituted while the jewellers back is turned.
 The same trick was worked on an At lanta jewelry firm Friday morning by a handsomely dressed woman, who substi- tuted a very inferior ring for one worth about $450 which was in the tray.

 The little boy left the house Saturday afternoon to go to a nearby coal yard to order a ton of coal, and nothing has been heard or seen of him since. The coal the boy was to have ordered did not ar rive at the house. and 1t is not thought that he ever reached the coal yard.
 Kenneth is an orphan and lives with his uncle and aunt MT. Patterson IS boiler maker employed by the Woodward Iron company. He stated yesterday ar

 When he left home the boy was wear ing a brown coat with pair of trousers of lighter color. He has brown eyes and brown hair and at present Is suffering from sore eyes.
 The police have been notified ane have been requested to look for Kenneth, and if some traces of him are not secured today the department will send out de- scriptions of the boy to the cities in the state and request the officers to keep a lookout for him.
