They had missed him in the valley, they
were crouching in a hollow,
They were sheep without shepherd,
they were few.
Said the youngest to the eldest: "We must
find him--we must follow
We must follow, follow, follow till we
do"
Said the eldest TO the youngest: "Lol
know the road he's taken
lie is waiting where the pile he lighted
burns,
Ills word is on my spirit and my faith is
still unshaken;
We must follow, follow, follow till he
turns"
Said the youngest TO the eldest: Listen,
listen. o my brother,
Lo, the fire in the valley has gone out,
Out up among the mountains he has light
ed him another.
We must follow, follow, follow, We must
shout"

oN THE MOUNTAINS.

Said the eldest of them, angered. "Lo, the
STRIPPING has been drinking"
But the youngest only curled his pleas
ant lips
"He is watching on the mountains where
the sun he loved is sinking,
We must follow, follow, follow where it
dips"
So they sought him down the valley, arm
in arm in friendship linking.
And they stumbled on the ashes in the
dark,
But they found him on the mountains
where the sun he loved was sinking.
Wth his fingers spread to shield a new
born spark.
And he laughed them out promise, those
abandoned in the hollow
There are other flames and other suns
beside
But to know them you must follow-you
must follow. follow. follow"
So they followed. followed, followed till
they died.

GIRL DIES FROM
FIREWORKS BURNS

After two days of intense suffering,
little Louise Egg1eston. daughter of Mr..
and Ms. R. II. Eggleston, died yester-
day morning from the effects of painful
burns received while playing with fire
works in front of her home.
The child was with several companions
when her dress ignited from the explosion
of a fire cracker. Several men who were
passing ON the sidewalk rushed to her
aid, but were too late to prevent seri-
Gus burns. Under the care of Dr. Press
ley and DIR. Carr it was thought that the
little girl would recover. but all efforts
were without avail and a turn for the
worst set in Thursday night.
The funeral services will be conducted
from the residence, 1909 Thirteenth avenue,
North, this morning at 10 O'Clock with the
Rev. Dr. L. S. Handley and the Rev. pr.
John d. Stage officiating.
The body will be laid to rest in Elm
wood cemetery. The pall-bearers will be
Jerome A. Tucker, l. II. Kerr, Herman
Beck and Asa Hoyt. The little girl was
the grand daughter of Prof. r. f. Egg
gleston and her parents have many friends
in the city whose heartfelt sympathy is
expressed in this great loss.

MentevalIo's Needs.

The Southern Educational associa-
ton had its hands full in disposing of
other business, and it did not consider
the claims upon this state of the Girls
high school at Montevallo Alabama
offers free education at Auburn or Tus-
caloosa to all her young men, but the
young women of the state are not SO
well treated. Scores, if not hundreds,
of young women who desire an indus
trial education are turned away from
the Mentevallo institution every year,
simply because the buildings are mad
equate.
This should not be. Every young
woman who is able to pay her board
should have an opportunity at Monte
vallo to get an education and means
of livelihood at one time. If the state
will erect another dormitory at Mon
tevallo and increase the equipment
there, this great opportunity will be-
come possible The training of the
young women of this state is an i'm
portant matter, and the Legislature
cannot afford to disregard the claims
of Monteyallo upon it's bounty. Instead
of spending large sums upon another
wing of the capitol or upon an execu-
tive mansion, let us first meet the
claims of the young women of Alabama
who desire to study dressmaldng, cook
ing, millinery, commercial work and
telegraphy.

The A. T, o. Banquet.

The congress banquet of the Alpha Tau
Omega fraternity took place last night
at the Hillman, and about the
board was gathered one of the
most enthusiastic crowds that ever
satisfied its hunger in Birming-
ham. AS a matter of fact, no fraternity
convention is ever held without the ban
Duet, and this event is always looked
forward to with great interest. Last night
the speeches were numerous, many of
them brilliant, and all enthusiastic.
The toast of the Rev. DIR. Otis Allan
Glazebrook. the chief founder of the A..
T. fraternity, was perhaps the most
pleasantly received of the evening. In
the course of his talk, he spoke of the
first days of the fraternity, a subject
which always appeals to those who love
the Maltese cross" The affair was no.
table, and the programme was carried
through without the occurrence of MIS-
cue of any nature.
W. d. Nesbitt, of Birmingham, presi-
dent of the local alumni association, pre-
sided with dignity and ease. Seldom has
Birmingham seen more felieitous toast
master than Mr. Nesbitt

Or. Lovett at Daphne.

DR.. j. A. B. Lovett is In Birmingham on
his return from South Alabama, where
he has been engaged several weeks at
Daphne-on the-Bay, working in the in
terest of new school. The people of
Daphne will offer to the state real estate
and money amounting to $4,000 and will
ask the legislature to establish a normal
school at that place,
Dr. Lovett said: 1.-THE extreme south
western portion of the state, including the
counties of Baldwin, Mobile, Washing
ton, Monroe and Escambie, have no state
schools and, owing to their geographical
position, our state schools are not easily
accessible TO them. l regard Daphne,
in Baldwin county, on the eastern shore
of Mobile bay, just nine miles from the
city of Mobile, most attractive place
for the establishment of a state normal
school, and the natural advantages taken
with the generous offer of the people in
money and real estate, will no doubt get
the attention of the next legislature"

Pure Foods Next Month.

AS the time approaches for the op-
GRAFTON of the pure food law, all honest
packers begin to see the advantages
that will result to their trade and to
themselves In having upon their goods
these magic words, "U. S. Inspected
and Passed." Government inspection
is expected to inspire confidence in
American goods and to extend their
market. Every honest manufacturer
and dealer is preparing to conform to
the law, which goes into operation on
New Years Day.
Paul Pierce, the pure food crusader,
estimates that New York city alone
has been paying $117, 100000 year for
imitation foods made to represent real
foods by means of chemical preserva
tives and coloring. The reprocessing
of foods in New York is a great as well
as very vile business in that city.
Spoiled foods are by chemicals rem
dered saleable in alright tins. And
yet the New York health authorities
are alert. In the last quarter they de-
stroyed 24,301 gallons of impure milk.
6,1731S0 pounds of fruit and 36S,s11
pounds of meat, and large quantities OF
vegetables, groceries, confectionery
and fish. Mr.. Pierce intimates, how
ever, that vastly more impure foods
are consumed by the people than are
destroyed by the city authorities.
II the aged secretary Of agriculture
is not bamboozled by the whisky men
and by various manufacturers of foods.
We will know after January js-t what
we eat and drink-somefhinE sc

Bishop Smith.

The death of Bishop A. Coke Smith
removes from the Methodist Episcopal
church, South, one of its strongest and
most beloved leaders. Bishop Smith
came of stalwart Methodist stock. His
father before him was a Methodist
minister, and he himself had been a
consistent champion of Methodist prin-
ciples since boyhood.
The deceased was ripe scholar
far above the average clergyman in
scholarship. AS professor of moral
philosophy in Wofford college, South
Carolina his influence was far-reach-
ing; and later, as professor of practi-
cal theology at Vanderbilt university
he attained high rank.
While Bishop Smith was abreast OF
the times in learning, he was remarked
for his earnest piety, and in every
sense he exemplified the best tradi-
lions of Methodism. Not only will the
great church of which he was a pillar
lament his death, but the entire Chris
tian world will deplore his untimely
taking off.

oUTWlT PARENTS.
Popular Young Lady of Albertvile
Welded BY Man of Her Choice.

Albertville, December 2s.-(SpeciaL)-
Quite sensational marriage took place
here yesterday afternoon at the resi-
denee of Mr.. and Mrs Ross Riggs, when
Mr. c. p Riggs of Bremen Ga, and
Miss c. "a Reeves of this place were
married b. Esq. w. II. McCord. Miss
Reeves parents were very much opposed
to the marriage and had forbidden Mr.
Riggs to visit her. Mr.. Riggs arrived
in town several days ago and since that
time has been trying to elope with his
fair sweetheart. Yesterday afternoon two
young lady friends succeeded in getting
Miss Reeves to the home of a friend and
the groom, who for two days had been
armed with the license, met them there
and they were made one. Mrs. Riggs is
the youngest child of Mr.. and Mrs. T. NJ
Reeves of this place, and is a popular
member of the young society set. She
was not through school and that was the
cause of the parents opposition. Mr.
Riggs holds a responsible position with
the Seaboard Air Line He and his bride
left at once for Birmingham.
Miss Annie Pearson entertained the
"3 C's and T. club in a delightful manner
Thursday afternoon at the residence of
Mrs. w. F. Irwin. In an interesting game
of Hearts" Miss Lucy Reed won the
first prize and Miss Florece Moody the
