The New Habit.

I have heard of people with the dope
habit; others with the cigarette habit,
and have even known people who visited
the sbnitariums of my renowned name
sake for some other sort of a habit.
These habits, however, sink into insig-
nifcance beside the malady that assails
me. I am troubled with the talking
machine habit
The q. e. Forbes Piano Co. have In
connection with their salesrooms on Third
avenue, a free concert hall. where at any
and all times, a person may be enter
tanned with selections from the operas
solos by the worlds greatest artists
band and orchestra selections duets, dia-
logues, and oratorios, on the Victor Talk
ing machine.
There never is a time that I do not
drop into the concert room and take ad-
vantage of the courtesy of the Forbes
Co., when am in the neighborhood.
The talking machine of the present day
Is so perfect that during a reproduction
of the voices of such artists as Caruso,
Meba, Sembrich and others many of
which I have had the good fortune to
have heard, I would be willing to take
affidavit that was in close proximity
to them.
This machine has long since passed the
embryo or experimental stage, and Is to
my mind the greatest achievement OF the
twentieth century.

Prosnerous Rlrmlnahann.

My attention was attracted recently to
the aggressive advertising done by the
various safety razor concerns throughout
the country, and I wondered at the time
whether or not the barber shops suffered
in any way through the safety razor or
home shaving outfit.
I preached this matter to Mr.. Tony
Plckard of the o. K. Barber Shop on
Twentieth street, and he tells me that
at least % per cent more of the people
of Birmingham patronize the barber shops
now than they did heretofore. During
the course of our conversation, he said:
I'VE are certainly living in an era of
prosperity. Everybody seems to have
money. Never before have l seen SO
many people patronizing barber shops.
can always tell when money is tight.
Men shave themselves. When money is
plentiful they go to a barber shop. -iy
business has grown so in the last few
months that l have been compelled to
enlarge and remodel my establishment.
Eyes there Is no doubt about 1t, times
are good; money is plentiful, and every
thing rings true of prosperity"

A Conservative Test.

In a window of the Seals Piano COM
pany's salesrooms on First avenue, there
is shown a piano that has been In con-
slant use for over thirteen years.
Prompted by curiosity. 1 made inquiry
relative to the piano, and through the
courtesy of Mr.. Huston, learned some
remarkable facts.
The piano, a Kimball, manufactured by
the w w. Kimball Co. of Chicago, was
sold over thirteen years ago to a Bir-
mingham man by the Seals Co, and has
been used constantly ever since. Despite
this, it is practically as good today as
the day 1t was purchased. In no way
has 1t lost any of its fine tone, and save
for one or two blemishes or scratches
looks as well as any piano on the floor.
The piano has just been received by
the Seals Co., having been taken in part
payment or exchange for a 81 900 interior
player, Planola-Weber, and is not for
SALE
The number of the piano is 27945. The
number of the latest plano received from
the Kimball factory is 1887. In thirteen
years this company has manufactured

HEARN IN NEW ORLEANS.
Social Habits Correct Association
With Negroes Denied.

From the New Orleans Times-Democrat
While in New Orleans Mr.. Hearn was an
associate editor of this paper, writing on
a variety of editorial subjects. and the
editor of a page devoted to the foreign
press, comprised in large part of transla-
| tions from the leading French and foreign
/ papers. Ultimately he branched out as a
writer of stories.
| While he was in no respect society
man, he had many acquaintance here,
both men and women, active in newspaper
and literary work, who appreciated him
and recognized his great ability before the
rest of the world did. Perhaps we can
| give no better idea of the SUMS article
than to quote Its statement that Hearn
| lived with negroes, not of the ordinary
cornheld type, but the Congo priestesses
and prophetesses, as a matter of fact
with no less a parsonage than Marie
Lavaux, the voodoo queen
All of this wonderful tale is based on
the simple fact that Hearn, like every
other newspaper man in New Orleans who
thought there might be a story in it, saw
! a negro woman who called herself Marie
1ayaux, and who pretended to know
something about voodooism, and who, 1t
was shown, was fake" 1t is surpris-
ing that the Sun does not charge him with
associating and living with Malay pirates
because he visited the Philippine settle
ment at St. Milo, in Lake Borgne, and
wrote, both for the Times-Democrat and
Harper's, a most graphic and interesting
account of the Manila men who lived
there In a free and wild state Whether
as a reporter, editor or author Mr. Hearn
insisted upon investigating and seeing for
himself what he wrote about-which the
writer of the Suns article will doubtless
think shows bad taste. low social ideas
and is altogether superfiuous and unnec-
essary in writing sketches, whether of
scenes or persons.
Mr. Hearn was the last man to make
himself eccentric in dress or manner in
order to attract attention; and the de-
scription of him in the Sun is as far from
the facts as its general account of his
life and movements. He was not an
American, he had Travelled great deal
and roughed 1t a great deal, but he was
just such man as we would expect under
the circumstances, but he had too much
common sense to be a poseur and by
| eccentricity In dress or habit attract at
tention. The negro society story is alb
surd. What the Sun says of Mr. Hearn
in this matter Of his preference for negro
society over white and living with the
negroes is not only untrue, but would
have been impossible in southern city
like New Orleans, where the color lines
| are so drawn. II Mr.. Hearn had been
the man the Sun says he was he could
not have held the position he did a week,
much less the long years he remained in
this city The Sun gives him full credit
for ability and genius. but 1t is not nee
essary to prove this by making him out
an abnormal man OF weird, unnatural
tastes The world has learned that &C.
centricity Is not an essential attribute OF
genius

Automatic stenoarapher.

I was amused not long ago upon en-
tering the private office of one of the
largest merchants in town to notice him
apparently talking to himself at record
breaking rate of speed. His head was
bent forward and he seemed to be hav-
ing a row with himself, over some i'm
mediate shipments. Eventually he turned
around and I noticed he was talking into
a commercial grephophone, or as he ex-
planned it, his automatic stenographer'
and that In the absence of his secretary,
he could dictate anything into this ma
chine, and that a perfect record was
kept for all time to come.
1t is just another mile post in the
path of progress.
Mr.. W. B. Griffith, the local representa-
tive of the Columbia Graphophone Co.
tells me that these commercial machines
are used extensively all over the world.
What was an experiment yesterday, is
today an office accessory.

That Birmingham is becoming more
and more cosmopolitan and up-to-date
day by day, must be acknowledged by
even the most skeptical. To the observ-
er, new features are apparent on every
side. The latest feature that has been
calld to my attention is that OF a prl-
vate loan office.
The janice Jewelry Co. have lately
added to their establishment a loan or
banking department, where temporary
loans may be obtained on diamonds or
high-class jewelry at a low rate of In

w4en a person needs a little money, and
does not care to go to a bank or q
