lDLENESS is AN ATROPHY.

The prosperity of a people is pro-
portionate to the number of hands
and minds usefully employed. To
the community, sedition is a fever,
corruption is gangrenc and idle.
ness is an atrophy. Whatever body
or society wastes moro than it ac.
quires must gradually decay; and
every being that continues to be fed
and ceases to labor takes away some.
thing from the public stock.-Dr.
Johnson.

DON'T BE SERIOUS, ALWAYS.

There are just as many people who
do not play enough as there are peo-
pie who play too much. Play is a
very important part of our existence.
Perpetual seriousness has a depress-
ing, REFRESHING influence upon the
mind, so that it does not get COM
plete relaxation. There is always q
mental strain. A bow that is ALWAYS
bent loses its version. Perpetual Sc
robustness is not normal it is an indi-
cation of an abnormal mental condi-
ton. Play is natural to all living
creatures.

PACE IS TOO RAPID
Physician Exptafng Reason So Many
American Men Of Large Affairs
Break Down Easy.

A prominent physician at Carls-
bad reckons on two or three fingers
the chief ailments of Americans who
consult him, They are the results of
overindulgence at the table and the
worry habit contracted by going the
pace. The pace, as every one knows,
may be the too-enthusiastic pursuit
of any branch of business or social
life. A moderate chase gives no one
cause for worrimcnt. 1t is when one
gallops all the time that there is mis-
chief. TO staid and sober observer
who cannot see more than one side
of condition at glance it appears
possibly that it would be easier and
pleasanter to take the remedy Of
moderation in this country than to
have to cross annually to foreign
parts in search of a cure. But he
would find difficulty in leading any
outside of his own circle to agree
with him. Getting into shape to re-
quire the cure is two-thirds Of the
fun, and the other third is found in
taking the cure.

DEED OF TRUE BRAVERY
English Officers Wonderful Display Of
Goodness in a Situation That
Was Desperate.

Ii is not often that You hear son
declare himself in favor of his ia
ther as the bravcSt man in the world,
says writer in the New York Press.
/ asked an Englishman the other day
the question, WHO was the bravcst
man you ever knew" His reply:
"My father, He was a colonel in
the army. stationed in India. One
night while cncamped near the base
of the Dhawalagiri, in Nepul. just
south of the Chinese boundary. he
was bitten in the wrist by a snake.
Instead of alarming the regiment, he
quietly caught the reptile by the
neck, walked a quarter mile into the
wood. struck a match and examined
the creature, 1t proved to be a
cobra di capcllo. whose bite is be-
lieved to be sure death in seven or
eight minutes. Ny fathers arm was
beginning to swell He threw the
snake away and with his sword
hacked off his arm above the elbow,
using the trunk of a tree as a chop
ping block. Every officer carried a
ligature in those days. He bound
one around his arm and walked
back to camp, where he waited pa
tiently for the surgeon to wake up
and dress the wound"

Lost. lost, lost!
A gem Of countless price.
Cut from the living rock
And graved in paradise;
Bet round with three times eight
Large diamonds clear and bright
And each with sixty smaller ones.
All chanseful as the light.
Lost where the thoughtless throng
In Fashion's maIes wind.
Where trilleth Folly's song.
Leaving a sting behind.
Yet TO my hand twas given
A golden harp to buy,
Such as the white robed choir attunl
To deathiess minstrelsy.
Lost. lost. lost!

That gem OF countless cost
Can ne'er be mine again.
! offer no reward.
For till these heartstrings sever
know that heaven intrusted gift
Is reft away forever.
But when the sea and land
Like burning scroll have Ned
I'll see II in his hand
Who judgeth quick and dead.
And when OF seattle and loss
That man can ne'er repair
The dread inquiry meets my soul.
What shall Il answer there!

AN OPPORTUNITY NEGLECTED..

She is charming old lady, but
somehow she has never quite been
able to reconcile herself to the tele-
phone. The other day she was
called up by Mrs. B, a friend
Of many years, and the two had a
long chat.
"There." said the first old lady,
just after she left the telephone.
"Therc, meant to give to Mrs. B.

The Boy Slave,

In future years, when you are gray
And wide, deep burrows mar your brow.
You will not fondly wish to stray
Back to the scene that claims you now.
Since men put profit over shame.
To You no childhood has been lent:
Denied the Joys that youth should claim.
You start your Journey old and bent.
Ger all the present Ills you bear
I deeply grieve, but shed my tears
For those sweet memories that ne'er
May gladden. you In future years.

CHRISTMAS GROCERY
 TRADE IS BOOMING

one of the very best indications of hard. or easy times is found fin the grocery trade. Not that people act ualiy consume less food in hard times than they do in times of prosperity, but ii ts the kind of food they consume that tells the tale. When times are bad, and there must be economy in the household, they naturally curtatl the higher priced and more luxurious foods.
 According to the Brock Grocery Company, there is small indication or financial difficulties in the Christmas trade that is now coming on with rush, and the demand is for even higher and better class of goods than ever before. This demand, which many grocers thought extremely improbable was fully expected and fully prepared for by this company. Their stock ol Fancy Groceries. including all kinds Of Fruit Cake materials. nuts, oranges, grapes, figs, dates, raisins, and in fact eyerything that the fanciful housewife can demand has been rushed in bounti- ful quantities into this satisfactory store.
 Their delivery service is prompt, their clerks the most competent and po- lite. and you are always assured or the most satisfactory goods, sold and deIivered to you in the most satisfact- ory manner at the lowest market prices when you place your order with Brock. aoV

SEEN THE TALKING PICTURESs

Montgomery is the second city in the South to get the latest inveption in the moving picture world: The Talking Pictures, which were first put on in New York City only a few weeks ago. Birmingham has gone wild over them, and judging from the attendance at the Theatorium yesterday, Montgomery will take just as kindly to the pleasing nov elH.
 Every one wonders how 1t Is done. You can't realize that you aren't listen ing to the voice of the people you see in the pictures. Yesterday a black face comedian sang a coon song and everybody just went back to the min- strei show they saw a month or so ago ---the audience actually encored the singer, 1t was all so natural. They couldn't realize that 1t was all just pictures and artificial singing.
 The "1ili City Quartette" bids fair to be the big favorites they have prov en themselves in Birmingham, where they were at the Marvel Theatre for so long. At every appearance yesterday. no less than two epcores would do--- their work is splendid. MT. Duncan gave an unusually we'll received song accompanying really beautiful Iife-size Illustrations in color, which was also encored several times. New songs will be given every day.
 The admission is only 10 cents--day or night. adv

COLD WAVE COMING
TENDER VEGETATION AND FLOW
 ERs IN DANGER.
Weather Bureau Predicts Continued Cold Weather Today--High
 Pressure Area Spreading.

It will be nearly cold enough to freeze things early this. morning and the prospects are that 1t will be rather chilly all during the day Reports from the Weather Bureau last night were to the effect that there will be a fall in temperature all night that would result in the therm ometer approaching the freezing point early Thursday morning. Clear weather is expected with it. .,...
 The low barometric area that has been lowering over this section for the past few days and causing the rain is rapidly moving eastward and a high pressure1that has been over the North west is moving this way. This move ment will cause the fall in tempera- ture. It cannot be determined yet whether this high area will come as far south as the coast but if 1t should there will doubtless be some cold weather for few days It Is moving this way rapidly now and its effects will be felt in e mild form.
 If t should be attracted by a low area iu another section it will not be- come colder than 1t will be today but should 1t continue it's southern move ment cold weather can be looked for.
