This city has lthree separate de- pots, all situated on one street. and with in two blocks of each other. and this ar rangement is confusing, dangerous and inconvenient. An effort was made by the mayor and Commercial club last summer to have the three roads here establish q union depot. but after a conference with the railroad authorities the latter declined 10 enter into any agreement.

CHILD LABOR DENOUNCED

Eufaula, December 10.-(SpeciaI 1.-The closing sessions of the Alabama confer ence were held today. At the opening session the Rev. J. L. Dannelly of Troy put that place in nomination for the next session. The Rev. E. E. Cowan put Enterprise in nomination also and when the vote was taken it was seen that Enterprise was the choice of a large ma jority of the conference.
 The Rev L. B. Green of Selma intro- duced a resolution calling upon the legis- lature of Alabama to enact laws to cur tail the employment of child labor in the cotton mills of Alabama It was adopted unanimously by the body.
 The final reports show that the sum paid for the support of preachers in the Alabama conference for 1906 was s1n.- 09S. 50.
 Many reports from the various commit tees were read and adopted by the con- ference, but the burning question with the members of the conference was Where are the preachers stationed for the coming year?'
 At the afternoon session Bishop Dun can satisfied their minds and they go out for another years work. Here are the appointments:

Mrs. Julia Ward Howe's Joke.

Despite her advanced years (she
recently celebrated til eighty-sev.
enth anniversary of her birth in her
charming home in Boston, surround.
err by her children and friends), Mrs.
Julia Ward Howe retains her aptitude
for the making Of clever phrases.
few days ago, on her return from Bal
timore, when she had been recuper-
ating from slight Illness, Mrs.
Howe was driven through one of the
side streets of Boston with friends,
and passed the charitable eye and ear
infirmary. That Institution does
much good, and no one knows 1t bet
ter than Mrs. Howe. But as she
looked at the building and slowly
read the name, she said without the
shadow of a smile: II don't see the
good of that place." "Why, what do
you mean?" asked friend, in aston.
ishment" This" said Mrs. Howe:
81 did not know there was char
table eye or ear in Boston; so what
is the use of an infirmary for them?"
Though she had lived all her life in
Boston, Mrs. Howe never had lost
sight of the peculiar characteristics
of the residents of the Hub.

FLIGHT OF VARIOUS BIRDS.
Course Followed by Winged Crea-
lures Is Characteristic
of Species.

The course Of flight is distinguish
ing character of many birds, says st.
Nicholas. The grouse rises gradually
while flying in a straight course; the
woodcock rises to height of several
feet, or even yards, then flies straight
away; the cuckoo's flight is also in a
straight line, but peculiarly arrow
like, being graceful and silent, the
long slender tail and body of the bird
still further suggesting an arrow. A
number of the birds, notably the
brown thrasher and the song sparrow
progress in short flights, as from bush
to bush, with a queer, eccentric or
bobbing motion as If their tapping
tails were great hindrance. A Will
son snipe flies in a zig-zag line; a
goldfinch in long undulations or
bounds. All of these and many other
ways of flying can be indicated by
dotted lines in the notebook, supple
mented by such words as sailing"
rapid" "slow," heavy" or grace
full" flight, and rapid" SLOW" Isl
lelt" or "clattering" wingbeats; the
wings of the grouse hum, those Of
the woodcock and the mourning dove

GRIZZLY UGLY CUSTOMER.
The One Who Wounds Him Would
Be Wise to Climb Tall
Tree.

A wounded grizzly Is mean thing to
fight, and If there is tree handy 1t is
a pretty good thing to climb if anything
gets wrong with your shooting irons.
do not think grizzly will climb tree,
though brown and black bears will. Any
bear is pretty sure to fight if crippled,
but know there is this difference be-
tween black or brown bear and grizz-
ly, says Charles A. Sartain, in Field and
Stream. If you meet black bear unex-
pectedly, give him five seconds and he
will be out of sight; but meet a grizzly
the same way and give him five seconds
and you will be out of business.
About the most fascinating way to
hunt bear, which is even better than
night work, is to trail him right to his
home, and meet him in broad daylight
on his own doorstep, as 1t were. 1t can
be done, but everything must be just
right. The ground might be covered
with light fall of snow and the snow
ought to be melting. Then the twigs
won't break. One has to be very care
full, and when hruin is found, which is
generally at the foot of large tree, one
must never forget that instead of one
there may be two, and, in that caGe, one
must be able to shoot fast and straight,
and implicit confidence in the gun he
carries is about the best stock in trade
man can possess. About the surest
place to shoot bear to stop him quickly
to my way of thinking, is directly in the
brain. 1t is really not hard shot, usu-
ally at short range, and it puts him out
mighty quick. .., 80. ~,

Because the wire is 70 longer the
