1.-The evening sunlight, pink as a
wild rose, shot through the open
spaces of the clearing and into
the mems room, where the tired
river drivers, released from the days
work, lounged about the central stove.
The sunlight fell on the rough floor
in streaks and lighted Jimps' head till
her hair look like notes in the sun.
1t touched with flame the bowl of Jere-
my's pipe. The rest of the room was
in dusk, concealing from Jeremy, ever
fertile raconteur, that his mates had
yielded themselves to after supper
doing. Only his little girl sat, erect
and eager, as if drinking money from
his lips. The. unintelligibility of his
tales to her childish perception only
heightened their charm. Like dim in
carnations, they had the spell Of the
mystic, and she translated them to suit
the mood or the hour.
ITO cut long story short'-he re-
peated the euphemistic phrase as those
do who cut short stories long-"she
says, says she, to me, Would you have
the goodness to remove that ERE pipe
of yourn from your lips?' or words to
that infect"
This be the smoker, madame says
I, ca mike and firm, and pipes be al
lowed. But would you be so obleeging
as to remove that ere dorg of yourn
to the freight, whar he belongs"
How did the doggie look, jeremy"
cried jumps, alive to this feature of
the incarnation.
Nothing is more annoying to the
story teller than irrelevant queries
that swerve the course of the story
midstream. But the snag was jumps,
SO Jeremy treated it with respect.
The same war the hombliest critter
you ever laid two eyes on. Molasses
colored, with ears like two pancakes
on him. You'd ha' thought them ears
of hisn would have bothered him con-
sid'able in chawin when he come to
chaw."
Jeremy's wit was richly rewarded by
Jimps' cascade of laughter. He ram
bled on.
Her, PAWN the smoke away and
sniffin' the foolishest. But was never
one TO stan out again a woman, only
tibet long to uphold my manly dignity;
so L lays my pipe daown on the sill,
siNOiuclltdl line, lllt Lille UlOuSuL DC
ponderin' somethin' purity deep"
Jeremy's voice, sinking mysteriously,
aroused jumps nimble Imagination.
Her dark eyebrows were raised TO a
point above her triangular brown eyes
as she leaned forward out of her high
chair. She looked like a startled in
sect.
How deep were it, Jeremy? Bout
as deep as that woodchuck hole by the
big beech tree?"
What be you talkin' of, daughtie?
There warn't no woodchuck holes on
tibet Adirondack express. We was
half way between Big Moose and
Beaver river, 1 reckon, when quick ez
a wink tibet wumman tipped my pipe
out of the window"
"Oh! That were smart of the lady,
weren't it?"
Jeremy, instead of gratitude for this
solitary instance of attention in a
roomful of sleeping dummies, betrayed
the slightest bitterness.
"A burned bit too smart fer me- So
/ jist yanked her dorg up by his big
ears and he follered the pipe daown
the tracks, I'm blessed if he didn't"
THE poor little doggiei" burst out
jumps, in a frenzy of unexpected COM
miseration.
She jumped from her chair and ran
to Jeremy vengefully. Her red lips

HOW THE LIGHT SHINES
BEYOND THE SHADOWS

Nature DEGREES that there shall be
no shadow without light, and the expan-
sion of this law is that where there is
evil good is hard by
So, In the situation which confronts the
Gulf states at this time there is promise
of much practical benefit. and the dark
est phases of it are luminous with hope
and promise If we look at them with the
right eyes.
Situation In New Orleans.
Let US begin with survey Of condi-
lions at New Orleans. We must admit
that the fever has obtained a strong
foothold there and that the disease is of
a malignant, deadly type. But against
this must be set the fact that the plague
is for the first time being fought with a
thorough knowledge of the causes of it's
origin and spread. Experts of first-class
reputation are leading the battle, and
they have at their disposal a fund to
which all the business men of the city
are contributors. At this writing 1t is
impossible to predict the result but there
is substantial ground for the hope that
the fever will be stamped out before the
coming of frost.
Shorn of His Terrors.
If such should be the happy event, yell
low Jack will have been shorn of the
greater portion of his terrors forever; for
brains and money will have routed him

211s FIRST AVENUE.

on ground of his own choosing. Thence
forth the announcement of a few cases
of fever will no longer be the signal for
the spirit of unrest and fear to rise over
the south.
A few cases have developed outside of
New Orleans, but these have not been of
virulent kind taking them as a whole.
The eontagion is not spreading to any
appreciable extent, and the outlook now
is that 1t will not become epidemic out
side of New Orleans-if, indeed, it should
attain the proportions of real epidemic
in that city.
Health VIII Be Improved.
Meanwhile the health authorities of the
other cities and towns of the Gulf states
are not only carefully noting the methods
employed in New Orleans, but are con-
Quoting sanitary campaigns along vigor-
Gus and sound lines. The logical result is
that these communities will be in cleaner
condition than ever before in their his
tory-certainly cleaner than at any time
this summer-and will be in shape to
meet conditions in the latter part of Au-
gust and the first half of September, the
most sickly season of the year. 1t is
probable, therefore, they will not only
escape visitation by yellow fever but
will be practically free from typhoid and
malarial fevers. In other words, the
health of the south will be vastly bene-

An Especial Benefit.

The benefits to be derived are many.
Some of them have been suggested all
ready in this article, but one will bear
special emphasis. Birmingham will have
been swept and garnished when the state
fair begins. The city will present an at
tractive appearance to strangers. An oc-
casion which brings visitors to a city in
variably results in the location of some of
them, either then or in the future. The
usefulness of the state fair In this re-
spect promises to be wonderfully increas-
ed by an event which at first glance
seemed to threaten its undoing.
To Halt Is Folly.
There is no sound reason why any en-
terprise in. Birmingham should halt or
flag because of fancied uncertainty as to
the future. Whoever stays his plans or
stops the work of his brain or hand now
is losing precious time which ne can
never recover. So let us all be stout Of
heart and discreet of tongue. Such a
time as this is the opportunity of bold,
true spirits. We live in a city upon
which nature has showered the choicest
blessings from her horn of plenty, in a
city whose possibilities are greater than
those of any other in the greatest coun-
try of the world. Let us be worthy Of
our habitation.
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1905-08-06

flied by the wise precautions which are
being taken. And health means prosper
ity-no turning back of the clock of pro-
gress.
As to Birmingham.
Now as to Birmingham. After dilligent
search the doctors have found four speci-
mems of the yellow-fever- carrying insect
in twenty-seven mosquitoes submitted for
their inspection. 1t Is well to note the
proportion-four in twenty-seven. There
would be nothing especially. alarming In
the find If the ratio were much greater.
for this variety of mosquito is known to
thrive as far north as the Seth parallel
well within the point at which immunity
from yellow fever is supposed to begin.
These four lonesome insects are there
fore to be regarded simply as gentle
warnings that safety lies in prudence
and vigilance.
The cleanup campaign of Mayor
Ward had been inaugurated and was be-
ing conducted vigorously before the first
case of fever was reported in New Or
leans The news from New Orleans has
induced citizens generally to cooperate
with the mayor. and as a consequence
the cleansing of the city will be much
more thorough than 1t would have been
under ordinary circumstances. The good
which has come out of evil in this in
stance is unmistakable.
