WORKING TO GET
 THE PRESS LEAGUE
MERCHANTS ASSOCIATION JOINS IN MOVEMENT TO INDUCE THE PRESS TO HOLD ITS MEETING HERE IN 1907.

The Merchants association of Birming- ham has joined in the movement to secure for Birmingham the 1907 convention of the International League Of Press clubs. Pres ident John W. o'NelI has addressed an invitation to the league which will be presented by the delegates of the local press club and other organizations at the meeting in Denver next month.
 The association now has in hand the motter of getting better railroad schedules between Florence, Tuscumbia. Sheffield and Birmingham.
 The main purpose of the organization Is to attract out Of town customers to Bir- mingham. To this end a system of re- bates of railroad fare is employed.
 For every purchase amounting to $50 the association pays the fare of the pur- chaser for fifty miles each way. Notwith- standing the dull season the rebate busl- ness is said to be picking up. The system has been in operation for one year. The secretary reports that within that time there has been six times the amount re- batting to out of town customers as was rebated by the successful Indianapolis as- soeiation during 1901, the first year of it's existence. And then Indianapolis was several times the size of Birmingham
 Here Is the letter to the press league:

Watering Carlyle.

A lady was one day approaching the modest home of the Carlyles in Cheyne Walk. Poor, long suffering Jeannie Welsh Carlyle, up in the balcony, look ed down at her. "Oh, do," she called out. ''come in! Mary Ann and are so tired of watering Carlylew The lady entered and was escorted to the little garden at the back of the house There 1t was hot day-sat the great man in a pool of water. For hours the two devoted women had been taking turns in deluging the dagstones around him by means of large watering pot. He was very particular that not a drop should touch his sacred person, which no doubt doubled the difficulty of the operation. The same authority relates that Mrs. Carlyle had dog which she loved. But it would come in with dirty feet, and the splenetic philosopher ob- jected. No one was willing to wash the creature, yet he had to be cleaned somehow. Finally there was an ar engagement made with local laun. dress, and she washed him every week, sending him home in basket with the clean clothes.

How Tea Chest Lining Is Made

One of the many industries in con- nectiOn with the tea trade is the col. lection of the lead with which tea chests are lined. China has been not cd for many centuries for the purity of it's lead. and this tea chest lead. as it is called. is regarded as the finest i'll existence. There are many uses for 1t. It is found very valuable in mak- ing the best kinds of solder. Machin- cry is not usually employed in the pro- duction of this sheet lead. every sheet being generally made by hand in the most primitive fashion. A large brick is provided the size of the sheet of lead to be made and is covered with two or three sheets of paper. On these the molten lead is poured, and another brick is placed on top. which fattens the lead out to the required size and thickness. The sheets are then sol dered together to the size of the in terior of the tea chest, the tea is pack ed in, and the top sheet is fashioned in place. The workmen are very expert and they turn out an immense number of shsets in the course of the day,

GROWERS
 GLOVE
 By COLIN s. COLLINS
Copyright, 1905, by Beatrtr Readc

It was all because Grover, in sud den fit of sentimentality, had annexed Miss Lenhart's glove. On the football field, in the woods, in the hunting sea son or at polo Grover was afraid of nothing, but there was something about the five foot daintiness of Laura Lenhart that made Lloyd Grover blush and Stammer like the rawest school boy in the maddest stages of his first love affair.
 He never would have dared to annex the glove had he not been certain that Miss Lenhart was unaware of her loss and he stuffed it i'll his deepest pocket, trembling from head to foot lest some one suddenly appear and demand that he restore the souvenir to it's owner.
 Later Oh be participated ill the gen. more eager than lie ill the search. Even after Miss Lenhart laushinely i declared that it did not matter he kept up the pretense and made that the eX- cuSe LOT reporting at Her sue dS Ollcu as her partners left her alone for a moment.
 Dropping in at hls club on the way home, Grover could not resist the temptation to draw the glove from his 1 pocket and gloat over his boldnesS. He even pressed it to his lips, after making sure that no one was looking, but he crushed it hurriedly in his hand at Jack Turner's approach, and as he did so for the first time he realized that there was something inside the glove.
 With the precipitation standing cold upon his forehead, he realized that it must be d ring, and his active imagina tion at once busted itself with plans for returning the jewel undetected. He could never bring himself to confess i the theft of the glove. He could not pretend to have found the ring without being forced to explain why he had not returned it at once, and a thousand and one suggestions, all equally impos- sible, rushed through his mind.
 All the time he was keeping up con- versation with Turner, and he much

 For an hour Grover sat and pondered the situation, and at last, without hay ing arrived at a satisfactory solution. he went out in the hope that the fresh air might stimulate his faculties to some plan of escape.
 So engrossed was he with his thoughts that he did not realize how far he had walked until, with start, he found himself several miles from home and in most unsavory quarter of the city. He turned to retrace his steps, and in an endeayor to reach a gar quickly he took short cut through an alley.
