Smith did not know, and neither
did she, but he promised to come over
that night to talk it over with her and
had a dim notion of putting Walker
up in business for himself, if his faith
er cut him off," and promised to tell
her about it, and see if she thought
Walker would like the plan. Then
Graham returned, and soon the two
left. Graham went back moment to
say goodby alone, and as he looked
into those clear blue eyes he promised
that nothing should come between
them And then the two young men
entered the hanson and rode back to
town, each one in a spell of admira-
ton and sympathy, and both silent
The next morning as Graham was
waiting for his gig to drive over and
take Belle for a ride across the boule-
ward and through the park, there
came a telephone call summoning him
at once to his banker fathers office.
Graham Pater was alone except for
his private secretary, slim, sallow
young man, who had given all the soul
he had to his work. Every great man
has Just such a secretary, and de-
mands just so much soul. The secre-
tary sells his soul at so much per and

til the great Reckoning-and perhaps
they do then.
The Elder Graham wore his most
sanctimonious look-which was most
terrible and awe-inspiring- He held
a parchment in his hand. He ad
dressed his son:

Graham. I will tear it up and make a
new one, or file this one in half an
hour"
Walker nodded, and took a tall
leather chair opposite the fat mahog-

The young man was silent.

If the Elder Graham had softened;

or of sympathy. But he never had, so
he could not begin then.
You're a fool, was what he said.

A Job in the Yukon.

When the Yukon was in the throes
of territorial election a couple of
years ago. one of the closest observers
OF the rather turbulent politics which
characterizes the far North was Chief
Isaac, ruler of the Moosehide Indians,
tribe living near Dawson.
The chief who is exceedingly
shrewd, heard the words Job" and
"jobbery'' often used in the campaign
speeches, and endeavored to ascertain
their meaning, but without much sue
cess. He noticed, however, that
money was always mentioned in con-
nection with the two terms, and after
considerable reflection called on one
of the head officials of the territory.
Me wantum job he announced.
You want work." asked the official
in amazement.
No wantum work." declared the
chief haughtily. Me wantum get rich
quick Me wantum gov ment job

COSTLY ROBES FOR WOMEN.
The Middle Ages Period of Un-
bounded ExtravaGance.

The Middle Ages a Period of Un-
bounded Extravaganza.
Say what you please about the ex-
travagance in these days of women's
dress, it cannot compare with the
gowns of olden times, embroidered in
genuine jewels and fashioned of cost
lest velvet. OF course, such gowns
were not passing fancies or fashions,
but once made, were worn throughout
the owners life on such occasions as
were appropriate. The women of the
Middle Ages often had their own
arms and those of their husbands en-
broidered in gold and jewels on their
robes. Isabella de Valois had a robe
and a mantle to match of red velvet
worked with gold birds sitting on
branches formed of emeralds and
pearls. The trailing robes were
termed cottes-hardies or surcottes,
ana were heavy silk in red or blue
tame, and these were sometimes
veined. Their arms were embroid-
cred on them in silver and gold
thread. The wearer's own arms were
done on the left or sinister side,
impaled by her husbands, the latter
being on the dexter or right side.
Sometimes the arms of the wife only
appeared on her robe, and her hus-
bands were embroidered on her
mantle The most costly material
then known was used for these man
ties, most of them being fashioned of
samite or baudeskin, silk woven with
an admixture of gold thread. Women
of other than taintIess character were
forbidden to wear these nantes on
the street In the thirteenth century
women of noble birth wore robes EN-
broidered in birds, fish, flowers and
all sorts of emblems, all in the most
costly workmanship.

Go to Inspect Region of the Amazon


The departure of the yacht Virginia
with the E. c. Benedict party of indus
trial magnates for the upper Amazon
recently has served to attach new in
terest to the development and vast
possibilities of that region. 1t is the
intention to sail up the Amazon as far
as Iquitos. 1,200 miles from the mouth
indeed, considerably more than that
from where the river actually mingles
with the Atlantic-and there to make
side expeditions in native boats or
with the auxiliary launches of the
yacht, that will enable the party to
form a more clear and definite esti-
mate of the resources of the country,
from the standpoint of opportunities
for American investment, than has
been possible UP to this time. While
at Manaos the party will join in cele-
brating the opening of the Manaos
and Para wireless telegraph system,
to be present at which forms one of
the first objects of the trip.
The Introduction of wireless te1eg-
raphy in South America is the most
logical use, next to its employment
at sea, to which the new system has
been put. Across hundreds of miles
of the jungle entanglements, mountain
ranges and river courses of South
America there has existed hitherto

he spoke.

mentally thanked the gods that his
money was his own. Just then the

BEST POSITION FOR WORK.
Facing the East Is Recommended by
an Authority


an Authority
To test the truth of the assertions
of many persons that they sleep bet
ter with their heads pointing to the
north, work. better facing the east, and
so on, DR.. Charles Fere, who is well
known for his studies in physiological
psychology, has constructed delicate
machine which he calls an ergograph.
with which he has achieved some in
teresting results. This machine reg
listers the number, rapidity and quail
fly of the movements of the index fin
ger when writing or performing any
accustomed work.
He announces that his experiments
with it prove that work done by per
son facing the west or east is better
by % per cent than similar work done
by person facing the north or south,
and that when working facing the
west it is about 25 per cent better than
when facing the east.
This matter of orientation seems to
have an influence upon the nervous
system. due largely, it is believed, to
the fact that the earth is a gigantic
magnet. Many learned men have no
ticed that they sleep best with the
head to the north and work better
facing the west. while at least one
famous pianist finds he plays with
the greatest ease when the piano
faces the east.
1t may be that the great migrationS
of the human race, all of which have
been from east to west, and the OBJ
served tendency of trees to develop
in the same general direction are in
some way related to these phenomena.

Admiral Toao's Monument.

The Japanese have horse sense.
They never lose their heads, not even
IN the hour of unprecedented victory.
They feel mat monument should be
raised to preserve the memory of the
victory in the Japan sea, and they pro-
pose to erect 1t in the form of an
enormous lighthouse on Ol1ino island,
where its light will shine eighty
miles, thus covering the entire scene
of the battle. The island belongs to
the Japanese, and ever will
A more sensible monument could
not be raised to the officers and men
who fought the deeply historic battle.
The monument is to be built by the
people alone. The government will
not contribute yen toward 1t, and
popular subscriptions which were
orened yesterday throughout the is
land empire are to furnish the needful
money. The money will be forthcom-
ing, and that, too, speedily.
The lighthouse will be in sight of
the main island of Japan, and it will
stand out plainly to ell who sail on
the Sea of Japan. It will assist all
sailors on that sea, besides reminding
them of the brave, determined Japan
csc who won the greatest naval battle
recorded in all history.

Clean Streets and Alleys.

Mayor Ward Is enforcing the new
street-cleaning ordinance, which was,
to say the least, inspired by himself.
Every Objectionable thing he can find
in the streets or alleys is to be weeded
out--yes, even in the alleys. Our new
Mayor Will. 1t is plain, soon have the
city in a condition to face the heats
and troubles of the summer season.
After the streets and alleys are
spruced up no doubt Mayor Ward will
order the weeds in the streets and
alleys to be cut, and if he could then
order the mosquitoes to be killed, Bir-
mingham would indeed be a model
town. He will attain to all that next
summer or at the latest the summer
following.
A city set among hills, with a hun
bred great springs within sight, should
be a clean and wholesome city, and
Mayor Ward is evidently determined
to bring it up to Natures intentions.

The New Masonic Jennie.

The corner stone Of Birmingham s
new Masonic Temple, on the corner
of Sixth avenue and Nineteenth street,
will be laid this afternoon with ap.
propriate ceremonies. The exercises
promise to be impressive and well
worthy such an suspicious occasion.
The structure, when completed, will
be one of the finest buildings of its
kind in the country. 1t will be a credit
to Birmingham and source of pride
to the Masonic lodges in Jefferson
county. Modern in construction and
INTELLECTUALLY beautiful, the temple
will prove a notable addition to the
citys public buildings.
The Age-Herald will rejoice when
the Masonic Temple is completed and
its admirable proportions can be more
readily discerned. Birmingham needs
handsome structures, both public and
private. The more Of them erected
the greater will be the towns reputa
ton for beauty and attractiveness.
