trip into town in no time while others have horses and carriages or take the Oxmoor train.
 The physicians pronounce Shades noun tain, and also Shades valley much healthier locality than Jones valley; it is much higher ground the air Is dryer and cooler and there are numberless ad- vantages all told, besides, as l have said before, the incomparaole, the almost un- utterabe charm of the place.
 That Ridge Road, little narrow, sandy way, white as a stream, winds along the very crest of Shades mountain for three or four miles before 1t takes the plunge down into the valley It is pleasantly shadowed by rows of slender little hill- top trees. blackjacbs and chestnut oaks and by the fantastic forms of the great gray powders that rear up their vine wreathed heads from the mysterious green gloom hundreds of feet below. On the one side this slope descends, sharp and steep, preciptous incline down into those green and violet depths. over 10 the Oxmoor town of little white cottages and tall, black furnace stacks, across the silver curve and wonder grace of the Louisville and Nashville tracks to the full rise of Red mountain on beyond and the clouds of smoke that speak BirmlnS- ham, Bessemer, Ensley and Pratt City.
 Then, on the other side so comfortably standing on the broad saddle of the Shades mountain are all the summer cot tages in fairly straight alignment cir clets of garden and rustic fence binding them, while the ground at their rear sweeps back in wide swaths of field and wood into another valley, and wonder in to other Holdings of other hills-Oak noun tain range-and all It's brothers one hill line after another blue and far, and going into forever like the sea- and over all very world of sky and sunrises and sunsets. and roll of clouds and call of stars and moon-that's plenty enough to brag about!
 Why hilltop shouts to hilltop straight across that slender white thread of a road, straight through the hallways of those little houses there and every breeze that blows meets in the widowed rooms, and on the wide verandas till some days there's very waltz of the winds up there the while the town is sweltering fairly.
 Just precisely as Cotton Mather states somewhere in one of his musty records of the pleasures of heaven; the main thing to arouse fullest appreciation Is to have yourself in just such a cool, nice place, { and then look down and see where your friends are With, however, this differ i ence the Shades Mountain community is rather more hospitaby inclined than the | Puritan gentlemen, so they invlte-and like to see-their friends in heaven, too!
 There's plenty of legend and romance there too. for the looking-but another while for that!

 Dr and Mrs. R. A. Berry and their family reside there the year around. They have d four-hundred acre estate comprising the highest points along the ridge Directly adjoining their property is that of Dr. and Mrs. Baxter Rittenberry, more broad acres of slope and summit.
 Mr. and Mrs. Joseph A. Yates have re- gently completed a rustic cottage farther along the Ridge road nearer to Oxmoor and with their family and guests will spend the entire summer there. MT. and Mrs. M. L. Hanahan also have a rustic cottage which they occupy every summer. Mrs. Northington has a charming little vine-eovered house. pr. s. M. Lathem and MT. Sharpley have both rather im- posing looking cottages. Miss Krinshaw las entirely remodeled the place she bought and has also erected new cot tage. MT C. C. Moore the agent at Oxmoor, has just completed his new house on the summit. The Hale brothers, Mr. G. W. Chambers and MT. Williams, who has started the country store, have cottages not far from the little church. while Mrs. Murphy, MT. J. J.

 There are numerous other small cot tages all along this high Ridge Road and the little community is growing larger all the time. A number of the residents have automobiles so they can make tho

A VITAL POINT.
Counsel for Defendant Calls Turn On
 His Opponent.

From Hampers Weekly
 Col. Pete" Hepburn tells of a lawyer prominent in Iowa who was much given to spinning metaphysical distinc- tions in his arguments before a jury. On one occasion, says MT. Hepburn, the learned lawyer appearing as coun- sel for plaintiff offered such an ab- struse explanation of the difficulty giv- ing rise to the suit under trial that the jury were soon hopelessly befuddled.
 At this juncture counsel for defend ant took hand, telling story to the jurors that resulted in the discontinue of his opponent.
 "The learned counsel for the plaint- iff," began the opposing lawyer, 'who Is so successful, as a rule, in getting away with his fine-spun distinctions, reminds me of another eminent lawyer of this state who was once retained in the defense of a man who shot a neigh bor's dog. The proof was clear that the defendant had said he would shoot the dog; that he brought out his gun in broad daylight and loaded it; that he took deliberate aim at the dog, and that at the crack of the rifle the dog l fell dead. with bullet through him
 But the eminent lawyer contended l that this was an instance of merely circumstantial evidence, and that in such cases 1t was a settled principle that if single link were wanting il 1 the chain the whole evidence was worthless. Although there was proof of the threat, the loading of the gun | the firing, and the death of the dog yet concluded the eminent lawyer what witness has testified that he saw the bullet hit the dog?'"
 The jury were so impressed by this tale, concludes MT. Hepburn, that they soon returned verdict against the "fine-spun" lawyer.
