were. for the most part. deeimated. IN
deed, the storm kept more than one
tenth of the usual attendants away.
Traffic on the street railway cars was
exceedingly light. almost every one re-
naming indoors for the day The hotel

scenes of ribald jeeting by promlseuous
crowds, were desolated.
With nightfall there was no renewal of
the storm, but the air was damp, the
sidewalks and streets slippery, tho
heavens threatening. Down town was as
quiet as a church. In most of the
churches clergymen preached to congre-
cations thinned by "the inelemeney Of
the weather.
The pessimist and the man whose liver
was out of gear rallied against the rain.
The optimist unused inwardly and watched
the fire burn on the family hearth. OF
the latter not a few talked of the homely
virtues praised by the Presidents letter
to Mistral, the P1ovencal poet. 1t was
well, they said, to have such days. Men
and women, they reasoned, ought to
make friends with the rain drops. what
a benedietion inheres to these stormy
Sunday afternoons" more than one of
them exclaimed. How they awaken
recollections of home and enkindle SYM
pathies which. but for the rain and the
wind, might not otherwise be warmed

So musing, they resolved that they
would keep their thoughts on high things
and their eyes on the weather man.

In Eastern Cities of Little More Than

NOW AHEAD Of MEMPHIS

The license collections of the city of
Birmingham compare favorably with
those of cities with a much larger popu-
lation. During the year 1904 the license
collections of Birmingham, as reported
by License Inspector and Street Tax
Collector A. A. Gambill, amounted to
sl92,472, against $171,316 for the year 1903
Take Memphis, for instance, with a
population OF 1869, claimed, and the
License collections in 1903 only amounted
to sS0,3l5. while those of last year did
not, 1t is said, exceed that amount to
any great extent.

license collections in different cities in
the United States, with a population of
over 100000, the figures being furnished

The collections for license in the city

to something over $4,000, which is far
greater than the license collected by the
city of Memphis during the entire year
1903, as shown by the above figures.
The entire license collections this year.
will go over the 100000, or high water
