TROUBLES IN BATTALIONS

From the Candy (Ore) Tribune
The editor of this old rag OF freedom
is pursued by divers Ill omens of all
kinds and conditions. Here IL a fair
sample. Ono night this week some one
broke into the postoffce and stole a box
of cigars. They happened to be the kind
we had been smoking, and Postmaster
Doyle at once stated that he believed
that we were the guilty party. AT Oregon
City Wednesday we bought a ticket to
Candy and handed the agent a half-dollar.

THE TIME OF ROSES.

By Thomas Hood.
IT was not in the winter
Our loving lot was cast;
1t was the time of roses
We plucked lem as We passed!
That churlish season never frowned
On early lovers yet;
Oh. no!-the world was newly crowned
With flowers when first we met.
Twas twilight. and I bade you go,
But still you held me fast;
1t was the time of roses
We plucked them as we passed!
What else could peer my glowina
cheek.
That tears began to stud?
And when [ asked the like of love-
You snatched a damask bud
And oped it 10 the dainty core,
Still blowing to the last;
1t was the time of roses
We nlucked them as we passed!

New Furnaces in This Country.

The year 1902 was one of high prices
in the iron and steel industries, and
blast furnaces and open-hearth steel
plants were constructed as fast as
men and money could accomplish the
work In July of that remarkable iron
year there were thirty-four blast fur
naces under construction, and twelve
were being rebuilt, thus providing for
an increase in the annual production
of pig iron amounting to 100000 tons.
That record stood unapproached
down to the present season. There
are now twenty-one stacks under con-
struction, including the one at Gads-
den that the Alabama Consolidated is
completing; seven have just been
completed; three old furnaces are to
be blown in, and the building of TWEEN
ty-seven stacks ha been authorized
thus providing for an additional an
nual output, all told, of 6,55S,000 tons.
The record of 1902, therefore, is
eclipsed. This estimate does not In
cmde the possible blowing in Of the
Williamson furnace in this district, or
anv work that the Tennessee company
NAV undertake at any moment in Ems
ley.

struetion and thirty more have been
authorized Twenty-one have just been
completed. The annual capacity will
before 1907 is ended be increased to
the extent of 2,74O,O00 tons. None of
the new steel plants are connected
with new steel foundries, and the lat.
ter are going up faster than they did
in 1902.
In all respects, therefore, 1906 is out
running 1902, and will soon hold the
record. 1t will be worlds record,

BACHELOR FRIENDSHIPS.


IF you are really anxious to learn how
long couple have been married all you
have to do is to note whether his friends
or hers fill the house." said a woman who
always makes good use of her bright
brown eyes.
AT first man invites all his bachelor
friends to the house, under the inn
preston, which Is invariably wrong, tnat
they Will like lis wife and she will like
them. Whatever the reason, most wo-
men find their husbands bachelor friends
dreadfully dull. There may be a pre-
tense of liking them at the start, but that
forced enthusiasm oozes out and the
wives greet the visitors with cold hand
shakes. When a woman seems as bored
as that even a young husband realizes
it will be Kindness TO his old chums
not to ask them around any more. Per-
haps in his heart he knows they are
dull, too, and that's what drove him into
matrimony.'

Mr.. Bell and Primaries.

chairman Bell Oh JHe county uSIlo-
cratic campaign committee said in the
course of post-election statement:
I'm my judgment. the sole cause of
the disruption of the party in this coun-
ty is the weak, inefficient and practically
unntelligent primary and election laws,
now in force The old laws, under which
we have been reared, are Numerically
different in operation"
The fair inference at first seemed to
be that Mr.. Bell was opposed to our
primary system. But he Is not. The
Age-Herald is glad to be able to state
that he is in favor of primary system.
He simply desires to see it made ade-
quate and satisfactory, and all fair
minded men will join him in a move
ment of that sort.

Here in Birmingham we may not see
much of Mr. Hartman, who controls
this vast system of rails, but Presi-
dent Harahan of the Illinois Central
is well known here, and no one knows
the needs of this section better than
he does.
The papers are full of stories con-
corning the relations of Hartman and
of Peabody, president of the Mutual
Life Insurance company, which may
after all be the handspring of tho
colossal combination. But we in this
district need not trouble ourselves over
this aspect of the situation. 1t is
enough to know that we stand the ter
minal of the big system in the south
east, which is all we need know in
this matter.
The big system will be harmonized
and made practically one working or

tenn ties Birmingham and San Francis.

ing railroad combinations.

Tho Bobby Burns has sung of you
Before more famously,
I pray you that you won't refuse

A refuge from all worldly strife,
When sick in heart and mind
And weary of the ills of life
Your shelter is benign.
On rainy nights It's sweet to dream
And take the rest you give,
And wake to see a brighter day
When life seems good to live.
Men, in their troubles turn to you,
You've felt the bitter tears
OF those aggrieved while young in days,
OF others spent with years.
And countless secrets you could tell
OF hopes that withered fast,
Ambitions never realized
And joys that didn't last.
And as for me, ] must confess,
And bare myself to scorn,
That hard it is to leave you at
The coming of the morn.
