The unsettled condition in the real es- tate market that began when our state solons decided to place an embargo on outside cheap money has been a notice able feature of the current week ending Saturday, the 18th.
 There has never been, locally or abroad, any waivering faith of those acquainted with the firm foundation on which real estate in Birmingham and the state Of Alabama rests.
 It Is d conceded fact, however, by thoughtful people, that even the firmest of foundations financially can be sapped and undermined by imprudent legislation, and the confidence of the very people whose faith and good will we desire to retain, can be so shaken as to retard in dustrial progress to a 1arge extent, as well as active trading in real estate.
 Many investors in realty in Birming- ham and throughout Alabama, whose faith and courage is ample under ordinary conditions, hesitate to embark upon new enterprises or investments, and this fair.. is justly shaken by imprudent laws that react harmfully upon the people them selves and tend to cause them to charge their ills to the corporations where 1t is really blundering legislation.
 The want sof eandor In the presentation of reasons for these conditions under pub lie criticism only tends to make a bad matter worse. Why not tell the people plainly that they will have to pay it and not only this, that the law will make the interest rate higher by far and really double the amount of the extra tax sought, and that besides this, if tffey are pressed and need money, the law will make it hard to get at any rate.
 When people are told that these chop axes and tomahawks are gotten out for the sealps of outside money and corpor- ations generally and for the purpose of "equalizing taxation CD and to raise funds for worthy causes, (which worthy causes all fair-minded people are willing to bear their share of the hurden), yet many resent the tacit implication that they are unable to see the sophristy hid den behind these propositions and that worthy causes are made the tool and excuse for the enactment of harmful laws. Expediency and theoretical equality under the law does not always accomplish what is claimed and desired by the masses.
 In the first place this outside money, this money brought to the state to loan out at cheap rates cannot be taxed upon those companies unless they the com panies, elect to bear the burden them selves, which they invariably decline to stand as it is an easy matter for them

THE WHITE BIRCH.
Peetins the Bark Ruins the Trees
-. Beauty Forever n. -Es5I 1

Feeling the Bark Ruins the Trees
Beauty Forever. N #
One Of the loveliest OF our trees is
the white birch. with Its graceful foil
age and cleaning trunk, and yet how
often 1t is robbed Of half Its beauty
by careless handsi .s5 j. .s
The temptation to take off strip after
strip Of Its easily peeled bark seems
well nigh Irresistible If one may Judge
by the countless forlorn trunks along
our roadsides Instead Of silvery white
columns standing out with conspicuous
grace from the green Of neighboring
shrubs and trees, the trunks are
married by great black circles, the re-
suits Of wounds inflicted by wanton
passersby. 5 If. 5.s.
" Too often this is done merely for the
fun Of seeing how easily the bark can
be pulled of, and no thought is given
to the feelings of the owner when he
finds that one Of his finest trees, in
which he took great pride, has been
robbed forever Of its beauty.
The next time you are tempted to cut
of birch bark, stop. Think Of the In
jury to the tree and the injury to all
who shall pass that way after you
in depriving them of something they
might have enjoyed but for youthe
sight of that tree in all its beauty. Re
member that the bark never. grows
again.
Il you have In mind the making OF
some article for which birch bark is
an absolute (N necessity, can you not
at least take it from some fallen log OF
from some tree well hidden in the cen
ter OF the woods, removing only the
outer layers. and those in such way
that the tree will suffer as little as
possible? By doing this you will earn
the gratitude of all wayfarers and land

II is rumorcd that certain estimable
young man Of Burlington has just re-
turned from New York in sad state
OF mind. For a long time he has thought
Of living in home of his own, where he

plumbing, smoke. mediate and hear
WHEY get the supper. But somehow the
local girls didn't come quite up TO bis
expectations, and so when be read about
whole steamer load Of pretty girls
who wanted to be married, he hurriedly
packed his trunk and hiked for the me-
tropolis. He found the girls all right,
for there was a whole lot of them. Of
ali ages, compilations and sizes. There
were but few pretty ones, however, and
those few were eagerly sought after.
In the mad scramble and rush In looking
Up the eligibles the young man wore out
a pair Of shoes. lost his hat and had
his pockets picked. The girls were
eventually lost from view, perhaps mar
ricd. and the adYenturer, after partaking
Of ten-cent dinner. started for home by
slow and easy stages. jumping box cars
when feasible and walking at other
times.
