When Roosevelt Was Camera Shy.

Roosevelt was the first statesman to repel at the notion of president-making by photography" says R. l.. Dunn in Appleton's for September.

 "'One moment please! I want your picture
 ''Depew, Roosevelt, Leslie Ward and Odell halted Roosevelt was highly in- censed, and Platt, who was sitting near by, sheltered aloud at his dlscomforture
 Don't you do itr beloved the vice. president-to-be
 "But had already snapped my shutter There was a great commotion at once My camera was upset and fell toward a man who showed it off so that 1t grazed MT. Roosevelt.
 Get that man out of here.' he cons manded, pointing at me, or I won't speak
 oI was unceremonlously tucked under a platform and kept there for over an hour, so that 1 never got picture of him in the throes of his oratorical acceptance. I amused myself, however, by cutting d hole in one of the blanks with my pocket knife and making through the aperture plate after plate of the convention as- sembled.
 Cautiously enough, four years later the camera was adopted as means of exploiting this same rebellious MT. Roose- welt who had long before forgiven the offending photographer of 1900 and had many times aided me in securing impor- tant and interesting pictures"

 of Bessemer.
MAYOR HAS BUSY SESSION

Bessemer, october Special. 1.-The fall business for the Bessemer merchants started off with a rush today Some of the largest concerns in the entire district are paying off today, and as d result trade commenced early. Red mountain. Blue creek, Searles and the rolling mill all paid off, and it is thought that Monday will be quite big day. Crowds of shoppers are in the city this evening from the Blue creek and Searles districts, and merchants in every line report fine business.
 The merchants have all made a special effort to put in an attractive line for the fall and winter trade in fact. the stocks show up better than they ever have be- fore. and the coming season promises to be the largest ever enjoyed by Bessemer merchants. The merchants have realized more than ever this year that in order to bring the trade to this city they have to keep stock varied enough to meet all demands. The colored trade, which forms q very large part of the citys business, have shown that they are willing to pay a good price for goods provided they get what they want. and the stocks carried this year by the different stores are much larger than formerly.

 Will Turnboe, was the next speaker followed closely by Maggie Carter, both slightly brown, and both up for the same offense. Will said he was a true and tried vagrant and Maggie said that she was a vasrant on "aprobation," but she believed that she hereafter choose" to lead that kind of life. His honor ad- mitted that they both looked the part and he asked them what amount they would like to be taxed Maggie said 1t was all the same to her, as she never expected to be seen on the streets again. anyway, and anything from s1.00 to s10O would meet with her approval. win told the Mayor that If he could see his way clear to do 1t. he would like to be fined not more than six bits You could have heard a pin drop in the court room after this remark was launched and it was naturally supposed that his honor, would tax him with a Landis Standard Oil fine for contempt, but he evidently thought it would be time lost, for he only charged him $1750 and costs, and he let Maggie down with S7.50 and costs.
 After court had adjourned and order was restored (no reflection on the Birm- ingham City CounciD some one met the Mayor outside of the city hall and asked him why he had raised the fines. It was pointed out to him that ex-Mayor Sullivan used to fine man S5 and costs or SS5 and costs for different offenses, while Mayor Rush fines them either $750 and costs or $s7.50 and costs. His honor replied that he had given the matter much thought, and had arrived at the conclusion that since Clerk Stubbs wrote such a beastly hand, he was afraid that he might read the fives for threes. and thereby lose the city just two bucks on every deal

TOO MANY
 WHITES h Matter Of Bad Blood Between th6 Two Races
 Trouble Now Serious

There are two races in every per sons blood, one is red race and the other is white race. The red race represents food and the white race represents the scavengers. The red race produces healthy color in your cheeks, healthy flesh on your bones, strength, brightness in your eye and all the happiness that comes from good health. The white race takes the impurities out of the blood and wards against disease. There cannot be too many Reds" but if there are too many "whites," then the blood Is said to be thin, the face gets pale, and the whole body is open to attacks of any kind of disease. Fultons Elixir of Iron, Quinine and Strychnine is one of the best known red blood makers. "Iron for the blood" is a proverb. Quin- inc, no living person now knows when it was no. given as a tonic and as an elixir for all rundown conditions. Strychnine in small doses is one of the most powerful tonics and has the least reaction of any tonic known It Is given most by the very best authori- ties in all cases of debility. Fulton's Iron, Quinine and Strychnine is blood builder, strength builder, tone builder and appetizer, digestive and regulator. Every person who is tired, weak, rundown or pale needs this Elixir.
