Your Canary's Song.

II you want your canary to sing
softly and sweetly, be careful not
to place the cage in too strong q
light. SIS this makes 1t hop about too
much, and lis notes grow loud and

Irrespective Of light. some birds
will sing better in one part Of . room

be sure never to put your canarY's
cage in draught, or the little song

JEROME GOES FROM
HERE TO TALLADEGA
New York Attorney Makes a
Fine Impression
REGARDING POLITICAL BEE
Jerome Says He Has No Bee In His
Bonnet-Had Never Been South.
Wanted to See This
,zAl Section.
REGARDING POLITICAL BEE

William Travers Jerome, who was the
guest of honor at the Board of Trade
banquet Friday night, left yesterday
morning for Talladega.
More than one person has asked If
Jerome is in the south with little politi-
cal bee buzzing around in his bonnet Mr.
emphasis on that little word He was
in tint south, presumably, to address the
Georgia Bar association at the earnest
solicitation of Mr.. Hammond. prominent
member He also wanted to see this sec
ton. 1t was his first trip south of the
Mason and Dixon line.
Mr.. Jerome has been mentioned promi-
| nently for the governorship of the Empire
state. He was a strong possibility until
William Randolph Hearst got breeze.
When questioned here as to his political
ideas Mr.. Jerome would say little. He
said things were in too chaotic a condi-
tion in New York for him to know what
was going to happen He believed that
but who would be the choice of the party
he did not know.
The New York Sun and the Brooklyn
Eagle have recently come out with state :
ments that the next governor of New
York would be a democrat and that the
next President of the United States would
also be a democrat, and would be the
same man who is elected governor of New
York.
Said a local politician: Possibly Mr..
Jerome may be governor, and based on the
belief of the New York papers he might
be President If such an occasion arose
Mr. Jerome would like to know the south
ern people and have the southern people
know him. Possibly that had something
to do with his trip south.
There is one thing certain. Mr.. Jerome
has made a more favorable impression
than any other of the men of national
prominence who have been to Brming-
ham in the past few years, not excepting
attorney Is by far the best mixer l ever
met. He makes friends in a second, for
when he grasps your hand and says he is
glad to know you, the grasp and the
words seem TO mean something. He acts
as if he were glad to see you, and the
| first thing a person knows he feeeIs as if
he had known Mr. Jerome all the time.
At least that is what Birmingham people
are saying.
! Those who were thrown with him when
| in the city Friday are enthusiasts on the
subject of Mr.. Jerome. Those who heard
him at the Board of Trade banquet were
delighted, to say the least. with his views
on politics and craftsmanship. His views
may be old-fashioned, so to speak, but
they are the old-time kind that make the
listener warm up to the man expressing
| them.
Mr. Jerome might be called a good fell
| low in the best sense of the term. He
must be one Of the best men in the coun-
| try to work with, for Mr.. Caravan and
| Mr.. Vandyer. his assistants, speak of
| him in the most affectionate terms.

the dog was in possession of the officers
and he went to police headquarters to
make inquiries. There he said the dog be-
longed to one of his men. 1t was pres
ent to his man by a friend In Montgom-

seems he wanted to get the dog for his
man.
The officers with Clip" were waiting
at one of the gates at the station. Sew
eral friends heralded the approach of
Mr.. Frank. He was just around the
corner they said. but for something
like an hour he didn't arrive. When he
did he came armed with a telegram
marked copy" purportins to have
been sent to him by a man IN Mont
gomery named Simpson saying some
thing about return the dog to me"
But as Chief Wier said he didn't know
anything about Simpson he would send
the dog to the Montgomery chief of
police.
Manager Frank became absorbed in
getting the grips of the team aboard
the train and the dog was left behind.

The talk this time did not turn to base

of Police Wier and Captain Johnston had
taken from negro boy who said the dog
was Mr.. Franks, was the topic, and the
trouble.
Yesterday morning the chief received a

SURPRISE IF CAUSED
BY RAILROAD CHANGES

His most effective work has been in that
section of Alabama.
The appointment of NJ Coxwell city
passenger and ticket agent in Selma, to
a similar position In Birmingham is the
creation OF new office. At present there
are only two positions in Birmingham,
those of district passenger agent and
travelling passenger agent. This appoint
ment seems to be a preparation for the
placing of tickets in the offices of the
railroads In Birmingham, which was de-
cided on some time ago. This will be
necessary when the new union passenger
station is completed, as the railroad Of
ficials are all down town and the station
will be several blocks to the east.
There will no longer be travelling pas
senger agent in Birmingham, according
to the advices from Washington but that
office will be transferred to Selma when
Mr.. Creagh is transferred.
