SOME PROBLEMS.

So many problems met today Race suicide and divorces, The leeches found in politics Who drain a states resources. The ban of impure food and fraud That walks in wondrous ways The thrall of trusts who grip the throat Of the working man who pays Two prices for necessities,
 His wages still the same, Regardless of the fight he makes, A loser in the game So many problems dog our steps, No matter where we go, The heartlessness of those above, Who tread on those below, Duplicity of many kinds And wickedness galore, dozen that we haven't named And then dozen more, That all this life Is filled with care. And yet, not one of these May cause a man more trouble than woman hard to please! "A true love match" says Miss Gladys Vanderbilt. Still, the chances are that it never would have been made if Miss Vanderbilt had been worth about thirty cents.
 STRANGE, BUT TRUE.
 A cozy nook, a stolen kiss,
 A thrill of sweetest pain
 Some people fall in love like this,
 Then fall right out again! Houston has a Left-Handed Fishing club so called no doubt, because the

ILLNESS.

To the casual invalid there is fas- cination in being sick. It Is such a contrast to the life of activity and pleas ure he led but a few days before that the transition is strange and impressive, The world seems far away It is but dinly remembered and when occasional sounds from without break the silence of the sick chamber they have an un- natural ring. The shouts of children at play, the rumble of a wagon or the clang of trolley car intensity the isolation of sickness. And then there Is the circle of faces that look down upon him, the subdued footsteps of some one he cannot see, the strident alarm of telephone bells that awake uneasy fears, and motley train of fancies-sombre and grotesque-- which pass in a never-ending procession, while his temples throb and the pattern of the wall paper is indelbly stamped up- on his brain.

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR

From the New YOrk PresS.
 A woman can think most any man is a hero unless she is married to him.
 A girl is pretty smart to be able 10 wink at a man and pretend she was shedding tear.
 Clergymen are useful to warn you what business not to go into if you want to make living.
 A woman gets a great deal of happi- ness out of being so misunderstood that it makes her miserable.
 One of the best ways to save money is to have somebody else do 1t and then get 1t away from him.

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
PeIl City Wants School.


 McLane Triton, Jr., cashier of the Bank of St. Clair County, at Pell City, was in Birmingham yesterday on business in the interests of the Alabama Bankers association, of which organization he is secretary and treasurer, For several years MT, Hilton was chairman of the school board at Pell City, which has done so much towards advancing the cause of ed- uoatlon in tho southern portion of St. Clair county,
 "The citizens at Pell City take 1t for granted" said MT. Triton, that the school board will choose n site for tho high school that promises the greatest good for the greatest number In St. Clair, and whether measured by population, re- sources railroads manufacturing or min |. ing interests, the territory within five miles of Pell City easily leads the balance of the county.
 Very few people really understand the volume of business transacted in our ter ritory, or It's rapid development since 1903. This may be in part indicated by It's pay roll of s1O00 per day in mining and ! manufacturing alone, by its ginning fully one-half of the oounty's cotton crop, poll ing over 30 per cent of the countys vote in 1906 and supporting about the same proportion of the countys children of | school age.
 "Nosother point in the county can begin to present such claims to recognition, or offer such substantial hope of further advancement in the future by reason of excellent railroad facilities and natural resources in timber, mining and farming lands. The people in the south half of St. Clair are behind Pell City in this fight for the high school, just as they were two years ago over the court house proposl- ton, and they expect to win out in the one for the same reasons the latter was won, as the facts carry their own argu- ment
 Ed D. Hammer of Etowah, senator from the district, and J. W. Moore of Coal City. St. Clairs representative in the leg islature, are both strongly in favor of Pell City as the site for the high school, and have so placed themselves on record before the board, and no two men could be named who better understand the sit- uation and the interests of tho people,"
