Things have a way of working them selves out all right in Birmingham. in obedience to the voice of destiny as Ii were.
 Ground for the new union depot has been broken. and in the course of 8 few months Birmingham will have one of tine finest passenger stations in the country. And yet but yesterday people were snaS- ing their heads and saying that the de- pot deal was all off. Some complications in connection with the site was the basis of their foreboding and they lost sight or the grand fact that Birmingham had grown large enough to compel the bnild- ing of O million dollar station. In truth, the railroads are glad to build 1t, hut in such an undertaking much time 's required for arrangement of preliminares in accordance with the principles of sound business.
 And Birmingham is going to have more great steel mills and immense steel-worS- ing industries. These are as much of realities in everything but the details of location and construction. as they

commission to inquire into alleged

require at least $4,000. They also
discussed the power of the commits,

Ellen Glasgow, author of The Wheel
Of Life, is careful worker. who
writes her books in what may be
called three processes. The first is
the rough draft, written rapidly to
catch the spirit of the scenes and sit
uations. This is done sometimes in
six months. The second draft occu-
pies a much longer time, for it is here
that the story begins to develop. The
third writing is much the same as the
second. Miss Glasgow works in the
morning and at night. She devotes
the afternoon to recreation. She in
sists on absolute privacy, and has
often said that she can write better
when she has locked herself in her
study. She usually devotes two years
10 each book. She wrote the opening
chapter Of The battle-ground fourteen
times; the first chapter of The Voice of
the People twelve times, while the in
PRODUCTION to The Deliverance four
times. The Wheel of Life shows the
same careful workmanship and at the
same time deeper philosophy than
any of the previous books Many of
her characters are pictures from real
life. The hero of The Wheel of Life,
Roger Adams, Is a case In point Miss
Glasgow says that she knew there
were men capable Of such renuncia-
ton. The author, by the way, has re.
ceived letters from the west declar-
ing that he was western man.

manded G.. W. Mayer, Kansas City
manager of the Standard Oil company
yesterday, during the investigation
into the alleged methods OF the rail
roads and the Standard Oil company
in discriminating against the indie

for the commission and for the indie
pendent oil producers mad been trying
hard to get from Mayer an admission
that there was any connection be-
tween the Standard oil, Union Tank
Line, Republic, Waters-Pierce and
other companies. To all questions
Mayer answered:
Il do not Know" although he had
been manager of the Standard Oil for
2S years. At the close OF his testi-
mony Mr.. Cockrill asked him:
Tell this commission, are tho Re
public OIL company and WatersPi Pierce
Oil company part of the Standard
Oil?"
Il do not know, sir"

conceal this fact when every man,

everybody wants the truth told here
and why don't you tell it? Every tub
ought to stand upon its own bottom

IN THE NIGHT.

When YOU shall waken
In some far off town
Distant alike by many miles
And many years
From home.
And all shall seem
Unchanged;
The dim light falling
BY the window sill.
The maple leaves
Whispering beyond.
The Echo of the neighbours steps
Come belated by.
When it shall seem TO you
You need but raise your hand
To touch your mothers
Sleeping face.
That any whispered word
Shall wake her,
For your comfort
In the awesome hour.
When you shall know
That morning brings no dread
Beyond the fear
OF rainy days or SCHOOL,
Then when some sense
or present time returns
And youth departs,
The heart grows old again i,
And feels with bitterness
The weight and pain
OF all the intervening years.
Paul Kester in McClure's
