Save The Trees.

Trees are nulsanees In streets wholly
devoted to business purposes, but In
residence streets In this latitude where
there Is much good summer weather,
they are essential. The summer In
Alabama is long, and whoever Injuries
tree in residence street does an in
jury to every one who lives In or uses
that street in our warm months, and
those months extend from April to
November. The tree despoiler thus
becomes a public enemy, and this is
what he will get in case he is caught
in the act:
Any person who ties or fastens any
animal to any shade tree or to the box
around anything planted or growing on
the streets or other public places, or who
cuts, scars, disfgures or damages such
trees, must be punished by fine Of not
more than one hundred dollars and by i'm
prisonment at hard labor for the city no.
half the fine imposed and collected to be
paid to the prosecutor, other than police
officers of the city of Birmingham, upon
certificate of the judge of the court in
which such prosecution is had, and of the
clerk of such court that the fine has been
paid, showing the amount thereof.
Mayor Ward proposes to. see that the
man who turns a growing tree, or any
tree for that matter, into hitching
post, is arrested and punished, and he
could scarcely do anything more mer-
itorious-anything that involves to a
greater degree the comfort of the peo-
pie or the beauty of the city. And
every good citizen should aid him in
his undertaking.

Two Kinds.

"Of the two kinds of people-those VINO
agree with you invariably and those who
disagree" remarked man, Il believe
prefer the latter as a steady diet.
There is little spice in arguing, but
when you happen to stretch rather
long bow and have some fellow agree
with you in toto, it makes you feel pretty
foolish. In the first place, the principal
pleasure in lying is to give the other fell
low a jolt. Then you have an apprecia-
tive audience and can work yourself up
to an artistic pitch But If your yarn is
gulped down without blink of the eye
the things falls fiat and takes all the
wind out OF your sails.
II remember a story that was told for
the benefit of an old fellow of the ultra
credulous type who lived down east One
of the men was telling a brain-stretcher
about killing a bunch of buffaloes. He
said he had killed heards of them before,
but these were all up trees eating grapes.
The old fellow nodded his head know
ingly. One of the crowd asked him If he
believed that stoTy. The old fellow
thought for a minute and said, Well,
there is no telling what a buffalo will do
when he wants grapes.

SLANG Has Defender.

guage. Broad-minded students of Ian
guage recognize that it brings In the rich
red corpuscles of vigor and vitality to
language that otherwise would tend to
deaden and petrify.
professor Brander Matthews said a
short time ago:
1.-The English language belongs to the
people who speak it. 1t is their own
precious possession, to deal with at their
pleasure and at their peril. The English
language has gone on its own way, keep
ing it's strength in spite of the efforts OF
pedants and pedagogues to bind 1t and to
stife it, ever insisting on renewing its
freshness as best it could.
"'This actual speech of the people,
whether in Rome or in London or In New
York, is the real language of which the
literary dialect is but sublimation. Lam
guago is made sometimes in the library,
II is true. and in the parlor also, but far
more often in the workshop and on the
sidewalk; and nowadays the newspaper
and the advertisement record for us the
simple and undistilled phrases of the
workshop. Most of these will fade out
of sight unregretted, but a few will prove
themselves posed of sturdy vitality.

He said that at present it was I'M

said that the locomotive shop of the
Southern railroad would be built in
this district il plans ever do crystalize
into actual construction work For

In the country traversed by the South

the south is contemplating steel max,

In this district, however, steel max.
ing is ever present, actual or pros

the hope of this district, and long be-
fore Mr.. Ackert's company could build
and equip locomotive shop plenty of
steel would be made here and put ON
the market.
The Southern could wonderfully pro-
mote steel making in this district by
establishing here locomotive works
This would help this district, and
whatever helps this district would
3help the Southern railroad. Mr.. Ack-
ert and Mr.. Topping could in ten
minutes talk settle the entire steel
problem so far as the building of To-
connective plant in this district is con
cerned.

Congress in the Third district yes

trict-where Bankhead is opposed by
Hobson-takes place tomorrow and in
the Eighth district Richardson will be
renominated on Thursday next The
last-named race induces the Montgom-
cry Advertiser to speak out as fol-
lows:
3 "Our Washington special this morning
gives indication that Congressman Rich
ardson, now that he has secured virtually
nomination for another term from the
Eighth district, will enter the August
primary for senatorial succession. If he
does do this it is a pity that he did not
announce his intention on that line before
the congressional primary. Possibly he
would not have been given walk-over
for Congress. Trying to get two offices at
once is not a pleasant sight for Ala
bamians TO behold"

spects. In the first place, running for
alternate senator is not getting an

no such Office, and the counting of an

SHE WAS so LITTLE.

On Memory of Little Sarah)
By Julia Nicely Finch
She was so little, Lord OF Love;
Her feet had scarcely learned
The feeling OF her mother-earth.
Her tiny hands could scarcely hold
A blossom in Its first infold-
And must she learn to walk above
On heavens streets of gold?
She was so little, Lord of Love;
Scarce more than some soft dove
Beneath its mothers brooding breast;
A dimpled darling made of smiles.
OF all beguiling baby wiles-
And will the angels love her there
And have her in their care-
She was so little, Lord of Love;
Just made to lie here warm
And sweet, within my folding arm,
All, Let her not forget me quite
In that great world of life and light.
But guard and hold her safe from harm.
My little child above.
She was so little, Lord of Love;
little woman-ehild-
All. in this life could she have borne
The GRIEF with which our hearts are tornf
Have borne her wonan's fate and snliledf
All, Lord OF life and light above.
/ leave her safe with you'll
