A DOLLAR SAVED REPRESENTS
 TEN DOLLARS EARNED

The average man does not save to ex- ceed ten per cent of his earnings. He must spend nine dollars in living ex- penses for every dollar saved. That being the case he cannot be too careful about unnecessary expenses. Very often a few cents properly invested, like buying seeds for his garden, will save several dollars outlay later on. It is the same in buying Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and DiarrhGa Remedy. 1t costs but few cents, and bottle of it in the house often saves a doctors bill of several dollars. For sale by J. Heubner.

a sea.gulln be fully understood.

Sed-Sutt DS tutty uHuSt9VOS9'
 Some of their habits are curiously interesting. At times, one will see every one of the long line of sixty or more piles near the boarding house, each capped with it's lone sentinel gull, sitting quietly with folded wings. Then there will be a sudden swoop from above, as one of the more restless birds, with hoarse scream, settles himself on one of the already occupied piles. Without word, as one might say, the former occupant leaves and flies on to the next pile in the row, driving off it's drowsy occupant, who flies on to the next, and so it goes on, the gulls playing sort of modified "Pussy wants corner" all down the long line. Sometimes when they reach the end, and there is one gull with no post, they begin it all over again, only backwards. Very, very rarely there is a scrimmage, and one gull lands un- cermoniousy in the water, and the game is over for that time.
 A very strange thing is the way they lately adopted the flat roof of the Club building as their favorite resting place. The building has stood there nearly two years, and there have been "slathers" of gulls around the neigh borhood during all that time, yet one rarely saw gull resting there, al though battalions of them might be seen perched upon the roof of the boarding house, not many feet distant. But within the last few weeks they have flocked in such numbers to the Club roof that at times one really feels as though the sign standing room only" should be put up to discourage further corners. Even the tall fagpole gener- ally has it's accompanying gull,perched costly upon the wooden sphere which surmounts it, or lowing and swaying with outstretched wings in the breezes CDaG pldg dIOuuu.
 On still days they sit in long solemn lines, facing in their curious fashion, all in the same direction, against the wind, most frequently toward the East, like a company of devout Moslems praying toward Mecca. And then, perhaps at the next moment, the shrill scream of the locomotive rouses them, and like flash the air is filled with a cloud of beating wings, and one grows almost dizzy watching the circles and mazes and whirls of their graceful flight. Perhaps they will float in a long endless drift of soft gray and white away out over the water, but in a few moments are back again and have settled costly down, looking as sleepy as ever, for they know that no marauding Ancient Mariner, with his murderous cross-bow, haunts the vicinity of their beloved Treadwell flats. If the present popularity of the Club roof among the sea-gull tribe continues to exist and increase as it has of late, the Treadwell Club, with its clouds of lowering gulls, will bid fair to rival the fame of Hilda's tower, in Rome, with its fiocks of pigeons, or of St. Marks, in Venice, whose doves are no less famous than their world known home.

 IN SOCIAL WORLD Birmingham Author Meets With LiterarySuCceSS MRS. RUSSELL'S STORY Events in Lives of Mountain Folk Who Live Not Far From Fashionable Colony of Summer Visitors
 at Blount.
MRS, RUSSELL'S STORY
BY ANNIE KENDRlck WALKER.

BY ANNIE KENDRlcK WALKER.
 Mrs. Willie Drennen Russell, a sister of Mir Walter Drennen, the noted singer, is sustaining the reputation of that family along artistic lines and is meeting with success in her first literary venture. She has written a bright little romance, her publishers the Neale company, Washing ton and New York. bringing it out for the holidays. Mrs. Russell calls her book Dick" after the hero of the story, al- though it might have been appropriately named for the lovable little heroine Ruth, whom the author has portrayed delightfully."-. The story is laid at Blonnt Springs where the author has spent sue cessive summers. That section of the state is rich with material and it is sur prislng that Alabama writers have not utilized it in the past. Mrs. Russell has drawn much inspiration from the noun tain people and her story contains sever al situations that cannot lack for appre- citation from those who know anything of life in the rural sections Her ac- count of "an all-day singing is so real that the reader almost hears the "basses" the "tenors," and particularly the "trib bes," the whole picture with the simple folk in their homespun and linsey show
 ing the authors keen appreciation of events that are to be seen any time fash ionable folk leave their cottages at Blount and stroll through the mountains. Mrs. Russell also describes wedding in these same mountains
 It is quite a different thing to observe the ways of these folk tucked away in the heart of the mountains, and then to attempt to picture their life. But the author has done both successfully. And
 it should be a source of qualification to her to be able to depict these events in the lives of the simple mountain folk who live not far from the fashionable colony of summer folk at Blount Mrs. Russell has not attempted to write solely of these mountain people They form only background to her love story
