~--ss>--------------- MILLIONS AT MULES HOOP.

From Worlds Work
 Half the lead that has been minded in the United States has come from the fam ous Occur d 'Alenes, the most productive lead mines in the world. Like many of the richest mines, they were discovered by pure luck.
 A man lent his mule to two prospectors. In the course of their wanderings the mule was tied to a tree, and he, becoming impatient, paved the ground and uncov- cred a lead vein which is now the site oc the famous Bunker Hill Sullivan mine. The owner of the mine sued for a third in- terest In the claim, and the courts granted 1t to him, stating that as the mule had made the discovery and that as he was its owner he was entitled to the mules share
 The three owners sold their discovery for $500,0O0, and nothing was too good for that mule for the rest of his days, He was exhibited in a private car and lived on the fat of the land, and now a tomb stone marks his grave. His harness hangs in a noted saloon. where it is gazed upon with deepest reverence by the old-time prospectors.

CORTELYOU'S CAREER IS.
 LIKE THAT OF MR. LAMONT

and law reporter, and as a stenographer he had rendered service to various of- fieials in New York and to both President Cleveland and President Mckinley. In 1900 he became private secretary to MT. Mckinley. President Roosevelt retained him in that office. When the department or commerce and labor was organized in 1903 he was put at it's head and there upon obtained a seat in the cabinet He won the confidence of MT. Roosevelt to such degree that the leadership of the republican campaign of 1904 was entrusted to him, and he now holds with conspc- uous success the office of Postmaster Gen. eral.
 MT. Lamont's rapid progress in both public and private life was due to his natural and intrinsic abilities solely. It is true that he attracted the attention of men powerful in influence like Mir. Til- den, MT. Cleveland and Mir Whitney. but not through any pushing persstency on his part. He was man of modesty who was discovered rather than self-exploited. His rise to political distinction and to pri- vate wealth and financial influence was due to singular merit utilized by those who recognized the ability of a rarely forceful and resourceful man and who profited exceedingly by means of it.

Georgia Peaches.

"rhe movement of the Georgia peach crop has about ended" said a man who is interested in growing peaches in Ala oama. "I understand that our neighbors shipped about 2500 cars of peaches this summer which is an enormous crop for one state and constitutes a great money making industry.
 Practically all the shipment came at one time, and the railroads ran special trains of refrigerator cars for the north and east. These trains ran on passenger schedules, reaching New York in about thirty hours It is necessary to run these trains on such schedules in order to get the fruit to the eastern markets in the very best of condition"

Our MiIIioE-DoIlar Station.

Few perhaps fully appreciate the eff fleets of the building of new railroad station-a station to hold all passenger trains that enter or leave this city ex- cepting those of the Louisville and Nashville railroad only. It will, it is plain, revive the dropping values in the easterly end of the town. It may, in Sloss-Sheffield company so valuable that the latter will as an economic measure remove its plant to North Bir- mingham.
 But aside from the changes in realty values it will operate beyond doubt to establish the seat of the city in it's present location. Something was re- ally needed to maintain the balance 10 overcome the trend westward and southward. The new station will prove & magnet that will restrain growth from wild and eccentric plunges in any direction, and re-establish business houses in about their present seats be- tween the railroads.
 The new station will not be harmful in any respect, while it will be a con spicuous ornament and decided con genience in rapidly growing city-a city that really serves the purpose of TWO hundred thousand people, and that will readily be doubled in much less than lifetime. The railroads are treating this town generously, and the new station bids fair to become popu- lar even in the course of it's construc- ion.

Quarantine Reuulati0ns.

The conductor who elected two quar- antine officers from his train in the Tennessee valley had not learned that in an emergency the public health out ranks all railroad oflcials--all other authority for that matter. He is in a fair way to learn his lesson, and he will not soon forget it. nor will the superintendent who ordered him to put out of his train all quarantine officers. A state proclamation can not be re- pealed in any such manner.
 Quarantine" is a long word in pop ular use, being used to denote the in- tention of the state to preserve her two millions of people from contact with a dangerous disease which prevails in a sister state. The effort may not be needful on the top of Sand mountain, but the authorities of the state have decided that the state as whole does need it, and the individual, even a rail- road conductor or superintendent, who gets in the way of it will wish he hadn't It is to be obeyed by all citi. zens. It is to be obeyed to the letter To be more practical and definite, the quarantine officials are to be obeyed in every instance. Obedience must come first, and then an appeal can be taken to Governor Jelks, but one can not safely disobey a quarantine officer trusting that Governor Jelks will sup port his view of a question at issue Obedience to the quarantine officer is the first duty of all By keeping this basic idea in mind friction and trouble can be avoided.
 Let us take the quarantine easily ant comfortably. It has come to stay il many sections until frost, which ii four months away. The yellow fever mosquito will then bid Alabama good bye, for his outing in this state will bt ended. He is not indigenous here. Ht is a mere traveller in foreign parts His home is in the tropics.

that thrifty province early in the Eff y-second congress a bill came up ap- propriating sl5,00O for completing the allotment of land in the Cherokee strip Mr. Simpson advocated that appropria- tion, because, he said, many Kansas peo- ple impoverished by repub"-, misru,e and high protective tariff a-d ci',or at- tendant evils. were interested in the al- lotment of Cherokee lands.
 Congress began to watch MT. Simp- son, and no one was disappointed. Not long afterward he had trouble with Rep resentative snodgrass. from one of the mountain districts of Tennessee. MT. Snodgrass one day remarked on his dis appointment at MT. Simpsons appear ance. He said he had expected to sec farmer; instead of that he had seen a gentleman dressed as dude and wear ing diamonds. That was regarded as and laughter was prolonged and hearty. The democrats and populists had not then formed an alliance.
 Finally MT. Simpson secured a heaH,s. He, too. had been disappointed in states men, having found that they were grander from distance than near at hand. MT. Simpson then paid his respects to Mir. SnodgDass. He told of his great admiration for the notable men from Tennessee and wound up with some ref erence to General Jackson. Tt 10 -ct . long time from Jackson to snod~-ass,'' remarked MT. Simpson, but my God. what q gulf intcllectuaIly."

Street Car Systems.

T notice that Memphis newspaper de- votes an entire page of Sunday edition to Birmingham. dwelling at some length on the gubernatorial contest, and devot- ing a column or more to the excellent street car system here" said Memphian last night.
 "The street cars here are undoubtedly far better than those of Memphis and apparently the conductors are more com petent and courteous. In these respects the local system of street railways is superior to all that the Bluff City cali boast, but in one point their system is better than that of Birmingham The tracks are sprinkled there daily by the street car company and the passengers are seldom annoyed by the dust, while here no such luxury is enjoyed

pr. Robertson's Views.

In speaking of the yellow fever and the question of quarantining Dr. T. L. Robertson said:
 This is a subject of sufficient impor- tance to command a thoughtful and con- servative consideration by the members of the Jefferson County Medical society, and should not be dealt with in a light. impulsive way Many persons have in- dulged in free and decided expressions of opinion through newspaper interviews favorable to raising the quarantine against New Orleans because of the pre- valence of yellow fever there These ex- presslons have been indulged in without any good reason or authority. Some are claiming immunity on &C., count of our altitude, others the high sanitary condition of our city, pure drinking water, etc., all of which are invalid since yellow fever has prevailed in attitudes equally high, with sanitary conditions and quality of water equal to ours.
 'It is now well known that yellow fever is not propagated by garbage heaps. mud holes or filthy pools of water, put Dy partlcular specieS oi hiosquilo which may or may not exist in our city or community, and until this point is determined l think 1t would be a dan gerous experiment to throw our doors open to refugees from the infected dis trict. Let us first determine in way not fraught with danger to the city and community whether we have the danger
 ous mosquito with us or not. and whether if imported it will live and propagate in our environments, and If not then it will be time enough to proclaim our immun- ity to the world.'

TO THE DAISY.

By William Wordsworth. With little here to do or see Of things that in the great world be, Daisy! again I, talk to thee, For thou art worthy. Thou unassuming commonplace Of nature, with that homely face,
 And yet with something of grace, Which lovers make for thee! Oft on the dappled turf at ease I sit and play with similes, Loose types of things through all degrees, Thoughts of the raising; And many fond and idle name
 l give to thee for praise or blame, As in the humor of the game, While l am gazing. nun demure of lowly port
 Or sprightly maiden of loves court.
 In thy simplicity the sport
 Of all temptations;
 A queen in crown of rubies drest,
 A straveling in scanty vest,
 Are all, as seems to suit thee best, Thy appellations. A little cyclops with one eye Staring to threaten and defy, That thought comes next-and instantly The freak is over. The shape will vanish-and behold A silver shield with boss of gold That spreads itself some fairy bold In flights to covert I see thee glttering from afar-
 And then thou art a pretty star; Not quite so fair as many are In heaven above thee! Yet like star, with glittering crest. Self-poised in air thou seem'st to rest;
 May peace come never to his nest,
 Who shall reprove thee Bright flower, for by that name at last, When all my reveries are past,
 I call thee. and to that cleeve fast Sweet silent creature, That breathst with me in sun and air, Do thou, as thou are wont, repair My heart with gladness, and share Of thy meek nature!

Plea for Greater Birmingham.

''The legislature should certainly create Greater Birmingham at is next sessioh' said a citizen of small adjacent muhiei= pality last night.
 q have talked with prominent citizens of East Lake, Woodlawn and East BIT mingham and I believe that these places at any rate are willing and anxious to be taken into Birmingham. If the question is again submitted to the people or the suburbs I believe 1t will meet with 1aYof- able action
 "A fair idea of Birmlngham's popula= ton cannot be obtained from the United States census for such small area is included within the actual limits of the city. Many people live in the suburbs yet work in Birmingham or have interests here and are virtually citizens of Bir- mingham, though they are not counted in the census"

A SHORT SPORTY CAREER.

From the Kansas City Journal.

Finally the doctor moved his family to Kansas City and be- gan to spruce up. He insisted on wearing socks that were mates. This made his wife suspicious. She thought he was get ting sporty. The doctor has moved back to the country.
