The chronicler of this anecdote states
that Longfellow was somewhat hurt

Longfellow took this remark a little
ruefully, it may be accounted for by
the fact that his own ambition always
was to be a world poet, and, being

was born 100 years ago the 9th day
Of February. He died twenty-five years
ago the Oath day Of March. For sew
enty-ive years he lived a serene, studi-
Gus and noble life. For fifty years he
was honored beyond his own communi-
ty. For forty years he was acknowl-
edged as poet, and for at least thirty
years he knew the satisfaction Of being
proclaimed the "greatest'' American
poet.
Longfellow had even a higher dis
tinction than this. During those thirty
years Of his mature manhood and de-
elining age he was indisputably the
most popular living writer Of English
verse. In general acceptance he sur
passed Tennyson even in Tennyson's

think that Longfellow could not have
been a great poet because he attended

Walker for Summer School.

The people of Ensley learn with pleas ure and pardonable degree of pride that Prof. Thomas R. Walker, superintendent of the public schools of Ensley, has been elected president of the Summer school for Jefferson county teachers, which holds it's third annual session in the city hall of Birmingham from May 21 to July g. The object of the institution is to pre- pare teachers for the state examinations , and the better to enable them to obtain
 their certificates first, second or third grades, as the case may be. The shool
 has grown rapidly in importance and numbers since it's organization in 1905, when it began work with twenty teachers in attendance. For the coming session arrangements have been made for the ac- commodation of one hundred teachers. All of the subjects required in the state examinations are taught in the summer school. Professor Walker, with others, have charge of the common school branches.

Her breathing was almost imperceptible and her skin even more eoloriess than a sheet of paper.
 Then Dr. Riesman determined to take a desperate chance. He knew that Dr. c. M.

So beckoning the hus- band, from where he sat beside his wife's bed, head bowed in despair, Dr. Riesman

The damage was not serious, though the Bir- mingham Southern engine suffered the more in the smash-up, being knocked off the track and it's machinery broken up considerably The Frisco engine was only slightly damaged. The Birmingham Southern train was going from Ensley to Birmingham with loaded cars, the Frisco just coming out of Birmingham, and neither train moving at any great rate of speed when the collision occurred. Just why the accident happened is hard to ascertain. Several hours were required to clear away the wreck. No one was hurt
