Jake Wells in Birmingham on His Way Further South--About Sum-

Jake Wells. head of the Wells theatri- cal circuit, arrived in the city yesterday afternoon and registered at the Hotel Hillman. He Is accompanied by G. H. Hickman. a business associate, and the two will remain in Birmingham until tomorrow morning, leaving then for points farther south.
 There is no news that l can give you at this time," said MT. Wells last night. ITO be sure, l am interested deeply in theatrical matters in Birmingham. but just now am not in a position to make any definite statement about my plans here.
 Tt is generally known that I have dis posed of my interests in the East Lake properties. Just what 1 will do in the way of furnishing amusement in Bir- mlngham during the summer Is the thing that 1 cannot announce. Any statement made for several weeks yet would be premature.
 .I am making somewhat of an exten- sive trip and will return to Birmingham in about two weeks. I would like very much to be able to give the newspaper men some news, and may be able to do so when I return. The reporters have always been more than kind to me and I am always trying to show them that appreciate their favors and want to re- ciprocate in any way I can"

decay. being in truth the impregnabIe rock, strong in Christ-given strength
 Since then, though no great storm has assailed the universal church. local storms. as now in France, arise, but the church, like Peters bark, Is in no dan ger. It has braved the storms of cen- turtles; 1t will brave all storms till time Is done.
 The Church Today.
 Viewing the church as it exists today what do we see? A wonderful society. not split up and divided in heterogeneous fragments, like the churches of the re- formers, but united-perfectly united in faith, In practice, in belief. Where is there another such society? Men may differ, do differ, in color in nationality In racial characteristics, in customs, in habits, in language, in laws, but In faith our members are united and one. Not different by one jot or one lot Is the faith of the Catholic mid-African from the faith of the jeweled Catholic peeress of England; not different' one jot or one iota Is the faith of the Sicillan peasant from the faith of the learned professor of the Catholic university. All believe what the church teaches, all practice what the church enjoins, all are brothers In Christ, loving Him and obeying His church.
 And what does the future hold? Many a storm doubtless. many a hurricane and whlrlwind will arise, and rle church. will be assaied and men will say as they often said before. in their folly, "Lo, this is the end of the church. Christianity is dying; will soon be dead" Events will prove their predictions false. The church will never die; it shall last till the trump of doom. While on earth one human be- ing fingers, so long shall live the church of Christ, storm tossed, assailed and again at peace but ever in the world, though not of 1t. Let us then from the gospel of today bring away this resolve, to never waver or doubt, to never distrust God s ways. When the church is assailed and oppressed 1t is by Gods permission. Like Christ in Peters bark, at the appointed time, He will arise and command, and, 10, there shall be a calm

Find a child with dimples

Find a child with dimples and chubby arms and legs and you find a healthy child. Find one with drawn face and poor, thin body and you see one that needs Scotts Emulsion. Your doctor will no doubt tell you the child is fat-starved-its food is not nourishing it.
 Nothing helps these thin, pale children like Scott's Emulsion. 1t contains the very element of fat they need. It supplies them with a per feet and quickly digested nourishment. Scott.s Emul- sion brings :dimples and rounded limbs.

PLANTATION was offered to their many
friends, and after a time the trouble
was all but forgotten.
But then Miss Edith r. Willis came
on the scene. She was young. viva
cious, talented, beautiful. From that
moment the gallant captain believed
that he had met his fate. He frankly
told Miss Willis that he believed her to
be his affinity, and he asked her to
marry him.
YES" she said, but 1t takes more
than whispered assent to make
marriage. There had to be divorce
first
So Capt. Appleton has begun suit
after all these years. Mrs. Appleton
lives in New York with her confidant
since her separation from her hus-
band, Miss Katherine Parsons, of Vir-
ginia, daughter of Col. Henry Clay Par
sons. At first Mrs. Appleton said she
wouldn't contest the suit provided the
captain made her a suitable allowance
out of his wealth, but evidently the
two could not come to terms, for the
issue has been joined and the case will
come to trial. Miss Parsons will take
the stand IN behalf of Mrs. Appleton.

his friends several well-known society
women.
Skillful and continuous larceny, 1t is
alleged, enabled him to live at the
rate of 1000 year. For two years
or more, it is charged, he has stolen
Systematically and without coming un-
der suspicion. A trip to Europe proved
his undoing.
MARITIME added to his income by work
as ''parlor entertainer" He got $25
a night for this, and so pleasing was
his personality that he seldom failed
to convert his patrons into admiring
friends. He has appeared in the houses
Of John d. Rockefeller and Grant b.
Schley. He stage managed the en-
tertainments at the West side Y. M.
G. A, where he was highly esteemed.
MARITIME, whose right name is said
to be Martin, came to this city from
Baltimore ten years ago. He is 2S
years old, and is known as one of the
''smartest dressers" in town.
In the West Side police court MARITIME
was brought to answer charge OF
grand larceny preferred by his en-
ployer, w. A. Laughlin. Edward H.
Hobbs, counsel for the haberdasher.
said the stealings of Mr.. MARITIME in
the five years he has worked for the
concern are not known, but he was
charged with the theft of $500.

they met young Edward Twitchell, the
handsome. stalwart son of the old
time benedict.
In a week the pretty little Michigan
Girl found that life in Chicago with
man old enough to be her father was
not the same thing as real love. She
found that the young fellow who was
her stepson had far more attractions
for her than her staid and very con-
sentative husband. In fact, before the
month was out, she was head over
heels in love with the SON of her elder
ly husband. And, as If to add to this
strange nix-up. the son himself was
just as madly in love with his own
stepmother-the wife of his father.
OF course, such things couldn't go
on forever. Mr.. Twitchell, Sr., soon
learned that he stood in the way of
Mr.. Twitchell, Jr. He taxed his wife
with loving his son. Proud Of her love,
she owned up.
