mingham for nearly Il years, and I have yet to find one single man in that time who has managed his business conserva- lively and put a normal amount of en- ergy and business acumen into it's con- duct who has not succeeded. There are really more prosperous and contented and well-to-do people in this town than in any other in the entire south.
 Look at the bank statements of the past week, if you don't believe it. Banks cannot carry deposits unless the money is in the community. No city of like population in the south has so much money on deposit in it's savings banks.
 It is true that many men have been out of work within few months past. But not so many as in other places. Now we are looking for mechanics and labor CTS. Ten days hence all the great steel plants and rolling mills of Ensley go into operation. These are the new ones. Mill lions of dollars have been spent in con- structing them. Within six weeks 5000 men will be needed to operate the old and new plants which are to be started in motion. Even the Southern Steel plants are to begin again, and the Ems ley nail and wire mill will soon be in operation.

Women in Pulpit.

Bremen, May 23.-The Bremen Kirchen- blatt organ of the Lutheran State church, protests vigorously against per- hitting women to ascend the pulpit claiming that such is against the laws of God, the Bible and church, against tradition and good morals.' The attack was occasioned by the hearty welcome rendered to Miss Gertrude von Petsold. a preacher of the Free church in Leicester, England at Martini church, Bremen. Her lectures here were largely attended.

AND IT DOES NO GOOD TO WORRY. We bid goodbye to our cherished dreams, As we hurry along life's track, And never again in the round of pain Will the dreams that we dreamed come back. With a sigh and tear we bury the hope That lifted the clouds away, And a vanished smile will never beguife AS 1t did on a summers day. But the lost ideals and the plans gone wrong Are part of the passing show And twill all be right in the long, loug night When we sleep where the roses blow.

BACK TO
PRISON
Man Who Cut a Young
Woman's Throat Must
Serve Out Time.

Anderson. Ind. January 2S.-
,"Guilty of assault and battery, with
intent to commit second degree mur-
der" was the verdict last night
against Shirley Doyle, accused of hav-
ling attempted to murder Miss Ida
|Scott, aged % years. his sweetheart,
Ibut cutting her throat. and then at
tempting suicide by slashing his own
meek, when they were riding on Sun
lday evening, March 10. 1905. At that
time Doyle was on parole from
prison, where he had served IA
months for robbery. Returning
home, he met Miss Scott, daughter
|of Andrew Scott, farmer. who was
assisting to care for the sick wife of
Martin Doyle. his brother. Six
months later Shirley Doyle became
jealous of Miss Scott. He induced
her to take ride. and, when near
the home of Martin Doyle, suddenly
grasped the head OF the girl pushed
1t back and cut her throat from ear
to ear. Then he jammed his hand
into the gaping wound and grappled
lat the arteries and half-severed the
wind pipe. Miss Scott has been an
invalid since the assault. Doyle faces
a sentence of from two to fourteen
years. besides several years on for
mer convictions. His counsel will
make motion for new trial.

when he had q chance to break up
his league and become president OF
a better circuit composed of eastern
teams, The eastern clubs at that
time did not pick up this action
as an excuse for roast, but rather
admired him for the stand he took
Morton declared that he would be
the means OF DISTINGUISHING any city
let the warning towns fight 1t out
among themselves. Wlf
Last year Morton's job was ex-
ceedingly difficult because of the hot
raHe between the east and west, but
heFwent through the playing season
without committing any acts which
could be seized upon by the most
critical as worthy OF condemnation.
The o. and p. will be under good
leadership next year, as it has de-
cided to retain Morton.
President Morton yesterday sent
letters to all club owners requesting
them to forward at once $3.50 which
goes to the National association for
reservation of territory. Several
clubs compiled at once. This money
will be sent to Secretary Farrell
and a meeting Of the o. and p.
held the latter part of this week :.
Probably it will be in Youngstown
Everything looks good for a for
nation of the league. Erie will prob
ably be able to get away from the
Intestate all right. Many think
that Oil City, Franklin ana othei
cities are working hold up game
on Frank Baumeister and Dan Kos
ter and that when the time comes
they will back down. The talk of
the Interstate maintaining team
in Erie is a joke, as the Inter-
state could not retain all its cities
last season and finished up with
only four.
With the Erie proposition set
tied the league will be in shape to
go ahead with plans for the coming
season.
The salary limit has been raised
to $4,000. 1t never was less than
that for first division clubs. The
Youngstown club will sod its dia-
mond as soon as the weather per-
mits and then will have one OF the
finest parks in the minor league. =

This b'rtne pafadSxicai word, the

not enough that, with all the wealth
Of words borrowed from half q score
Of other languages, we must impose
double and often a multiple burden on
some poor little monosyllabic word
like "get," for instance, whose mean.
ings are legion. Our Language must
needs confound the student at the
gates with the paradox. To give a
few examples:
The word "let" means to ''allow"
or permit and likewise to pre-
vent" hinder or refuse" meanings
diametrically opposite. 81 will let you
do IT. In the former sense Is hardly
more common In use than the phrase
without let or hindrance," and
Shakespeare has 1t. by heaven, I'll
make ghost Of him that let's (pre-
vents) me!' ds
"Cleave" means to split asunder as
well as to adhere or "bind' closely.
Scott makes NIarmion threaten to
'cleave the Douglas head" while
holy writ enjoins upon the husband to
''cleave unto his wife,"
Another example is ''lurid," which
means both dull red" and also a
pale green" hue, tints that are exact
~ opposed In the scale Of color. While
the former is the more common mean
Ing, the latter is more scholarly cor
rect, as the word Is derived through
the Latin from the Greek adjective
meaning "greenish hued.'

Examples Of this bewildering pit
fall Of our tongue might be multiplied
Indefinitely. 1t may be said Of the
English speaking world as it was said
Of the old Romans-that their suprem-
acy is due to the fact that they do
not have to learn their own language.
