hair running across from Solomon's Tenn pie in Jerusalem. to the Mount of Olives. Upon that hair all mankind will have to walk. The good will be upheld by angels, and will go on to paradise, while the wicked will drop into hell.
 The Mohammedans believe in angels. They have their Gabriel, who writes down the decrees of God; their Michael who fights the battles of the faith, and their Israel who will sound the trumpet on resurrection day. There are multitude of secondary angels whose business it is to watch over mankind. Every man has one of these angels on his right hand and another on his left, and they keep record of his every word and action. At the close of each day they fly up to heaven and put this report in the great ledgers there to be kept for the time when man comes up for judgment. At the end of every prayer the Mohammedan always turns his face to the right and then to the left, greeting the recording angels, who are supposed to be watching him, and by his motions suggesting that they do not forget to put the prayer to his credit.
 These people have also their Lucifer and great hordes of bad angels. The latter are always trying to pry into the secrets of heaven, and to prevent their learning them they are pelted with falling stars by the good angels when they try to enter heaven.

an institution of much importance. The state capital building was donated to the university by the legislature, but it was found that the university could not use the building to advantage, so it was leased to a stock company for period of ninety nine years on the condition that 1t should be used as a school. The Baptsts owned the majority of the stock and they con- verted the building into a female college, known to this city as the Alabama Cen tral Female college.
 Other educational institutions were es- tablished which grew and prospered and the town once again took on new life, but of more wholesome nature than that of the preceding twenty years On ac- count of it's schools and colleges Tusca- loosa drew many people to it, but these visitors were of a different class from those of former days. From a stand point of education and refinement and culture Tuscaloosa soon became the Bos- ton of the south.
 Today Tuscaloosa is one of the most noted educational centers in the south. The state university and her other insti- tutions of learning will compare favor ably with the best. They are the pride not only of Alabama, but of the entire south. Many of their alumni, scattered throughout the world, are numbered among the most able men and women in the learned professions of this day and time.

things looked. He was called up by Ga briel, who brought him a white steed with human face and body resplendent with gems and precious stones. It had wings, and when Mohammed mounted it. it scared with him through the skies with the rapidity of lightning. By and by the gate of the first heaven was reached. This was of pure silver with a sky in which the stars were suspended by chains of gold. It contained a mighty rooster, so tall that his comb reached to tht sec ond heaven This bird crows every morn ing and all mankind is awakened by him, the cocks below beginning to crow when he opens his mouth.
 Mohammed met Adam. in the first heaven, Noah In the second and Moses and Aaron in the fifth. Noah hailed him as the greatest of the prophets anu Moses shed tears at the sight of him. In the seventh heaven Mohammed was received by Abraham and there he met the Diety himself. At this time many of the doctrines of the Koran were given to him, and among others a re quirement that fifty prayers should be made 6aily by all true believers.
 As Mohammed cropped down, from the seventh heaven he met Moses and Moses asked him what the Lord had required. The prophet replied that God wanted mankind to make fifty prayers every day. Moses told Mohammed that this was inn possible as he knew from his own

.O HANDING as one of Alabama's most
 famed historical monuments, with ~ its white dome towering heaven ward high above the nelghboring build ings, surrounded by a beautiful broad campus dotted here and there with stately trees Is d building in the city of Tusca- loosa which to this very day is the pride of every citizen of Alabama on account of the historical memories clustered around it. Completed in the year 1929 this building at once became the home of Alabama's state government and con- tinued so until the year 1S46, when Mont gomery became the capital.
 During all these years that the Alabama legislature met within this building and inc sessions of the supreme court were held there, the very walls of the stately old building echoed with the oratory of sons of Alabama, many of whom his torians have referred to as men of giant minds of intellect men who have left be- hind them records as statesmen, as iurists, as soldiers, as heroes, records worth of emulation by the Alabama youths of today.
 The Lobbyist.
 But there were others besides the noted statesmen and orators and learned 1urists who thronged the halls and corridors of the historical old building, others whose examples were not so Worthy ol eii'uia- tion Even at that early day when Ala bama was but in her infancy of state hood professional lobbyists appeared at the converting of ever session of the leg islatllre as regularly as the swallows make their appearance with the coming or spring They came from the Tennessee valley. from the wiregrass district of mid dle Alabama, from the coast region and from every portion of the state; each with some bill in his pocket he wanted passed or with a knife up his sleeve to nrune some bill that was antagonistc fo the interests which he represented In those days the sessions of the lesisla- ,,,re were held annually and this gave .employment' to the professional lobby ists nearly all the time.
 When Tuscaloosa became the capital or inc state the heretofore sleepy old town took on new life and at once awolIe from its day dream of past years. The town ,.apidly became the hub of Alabamas so- ciety circle, for there were assembled

 What Mohammedans Believe.
 The Mohammedans believe in one God and fin an infinite number of prophets. They have altogether more than 100000 prophets, and the greatest of them all are Adam, Noah, Abraham, Jesus and Mo- hammed. It rather surprises me to know that they believe in Jesus. but I am told that they consider Him one of the best of their prophets, although the greatest of all is Mohammed, who is to be also the last. They believe in a future state, and that Christ will unite with Mohammed on the day of judgment in sending man kind to heaven or hell On the judgment day there will be a wire rope as fine as a

there the wives and dauhgters of sena- tors and representatives and supreme court judges, as well numerous pleas- ure seekers and yotaries of fashion from every portion of the state. Society balls and card parties and club meetings and theatre parties occupied so much time that there was no time left for church going and religious worship. As a result the morality of Tuscaloosa rapidly de- cined. Gamblers and many men of leas- ure flocked to the place and the town quickly changed from dreamy river town modern city of fashion and gayety Numerous theatres, saloons, gambling hells, hotels and restaurants sprang up like magic and life in Tuscaloosa dur ing those years that the town remained the state capital was one round of amuse- ment, dissipation and high carnival. No other capital city of Alabama ever wit messed such a season of dissipation and fast life as did Tuscaloosa. Even the Alabama cities of today do not compare in this respect with Tuscaloosa of those early days. For twenty long years Tus- calopsas hotels theatres and saloons were packed. the tiger" was fought viz orously, fashion held sway and money flowed freely.
 End to Gay Life.
 But since there must be an ending to all things mortal, so there was an end to Tuscaloosas gay life. But in Tusca- loosa's case the end came rather un- eXpectedly when the seat of state govern ment was moved to Montgomery. The citizens of Tuscaloosa could hadly realize that the capital had been moved until the state officials left for Montgomery and following close after were the but terfly belles Hotels, saloons, theatres and gambling hells, which had formerly done such a fiourishsng business, were now deserted and it was then that the citizens awoke to the fact that they must look to other sources for the upbuildins of Tuscaloosa or else allow the city tu fall back into the dreamy condition of former years.
 What a change these past sixty years have wrought In the appearance and in the growth of Tuscaloosa; but the lapse of time has made no very marked changes in the appearance of the old capital build ing itself Some additions have been made it Is true, but in general 1t ap-

Predestination is a belief of the Moham- medans. They think that every event which will take place was writer down by God at the beginning of the world, and that no man can change his destiny. For this reason they are strong in War, the soldier knowing that he cannot be killed until his time comes, and that it Is already determined whether he is to die in his bed or on the field of battle. Besides, he believes that if he dies fighting for the faith he will go straight to heave9

In North America and Europe, where one sees only Christians, 1t Is hard to believe that there are millions upon millions who look upon us as heretics and think We are on the straight road to hades.

 This mosque has arcades upheld by marble pillars running around court of more than an acre, with an immense hall at one end The latter has a ceiling of many arches, upheld by a forest of col umns of marble and porphyry. The walls are decorated with Moorish plaster work, so carved that it looks like lace, and also by mosaics of marble and lapls lazuli The pulpit is of wood from Bagdad, and it's panels are carved with texts from the Koran Many of the columns of this building were brought here from the ruins of Carthage, which city was taken by Sidi Okba just before he built Kairouan.

Woman and the Check.

From the Denver Post
 woman stepped up to the window of the paying teller in a Denver bank Tues day morning and pushed a check through the grating. It was for s4..
 Put your name on the back, please,' said the teller.
 She did so.
 "Is this your name?' he asked
 The woman sighed. Yes" she replied, that's my name. It calls for s4 doesn't it?"
 Tt dCes,' said the teller.
 While the man in the cage was looking the check over the woman fumbled her handbag and then placed a s5 bill before him.
 Take it out of that" please" she said. Tt seems to me I'll never get through paying bills.''
 For a moment the teller was puzzled. Then he realized that the woman didn't understand the check. You don't have to pay me-" he said, T have to pay yoi $4"
 He pushed back her 8 bill and gave her $4 in silver. The woman was very much surprised You have to pay me-" she said. Why, I thought it was bill and that I had to pay it"

WILHELM A GOOD MATCHMAKER.
The Kaiser Selects Model Young Wo-
 men for His Sons Wives.

From the New York Press.
 Emperor William hasn't had much trouble with his daughter. but he has been obliged to devote more thought to the futures of his six sons than the or dinary paterfamiias would bestow on bevy of beauties, whether heiresses or not. Of course, everything the kaiser does is successful in Germany, because nobody dares call it failure. He really has done well by his boys, though. He got a good wife for Crown Prince Frede- rick William when he chose for the heir apparent Duchess Cecile of Mecklenburg- Schwern, a simple hearted young wo- man, who swiftly is becoming Berlin's fashion leader, which her mamma-in-law never has been.
