I fear we cannot visit Abbots- ford, Sir Walter Scott's beautiful home, which is some distance from the city, re- .quiring day to go and return.
 Scotland is the loveliest country I ever saw; the soil is so fertile and, by the way, they tell me the harvest this year will be more abundant than for many past. The climate Is delightful and bracing-real cold morning and night. At our hotel we have gas fires in sitting rooms, which I find most comfortable. We leave for London the latter part of the week. stopping over in Birmingham (our namesake), Wentworth, Stratford on the Avon, and probably Oxford. In London we will remain until September Il, when we will sail on the Deutsch- land, reaching New York about the 18th, at which place we hope sincerely to meet all of our loved ones."
 The past week in Birmingham's social history has been notable chiefly for the return of sumer vacationists, whom the first fall days brought in large numbers.
 Atlantic City has been visited by many of the social set the lake resorts in Michigan had their gathering of Birming ham folk and Canada has been unusual ly popular while the CatslSills, the Blue Ridge and the Rocky mountains havo all claimed their quota of summer visi- tors However with the first cool days began the exodus from the various TO- sorts, for from every direction home corners are welcomed daily. Just now will begin plans for the gay season, period of quiet before the round of func- tions to follow later. In the meantime my lady will give her attention principally to Dame Fashion, planning her winter wardrobe and visiting the shops Thus, with the exception of several weddings, most of them quiet, there promises to be a decided lull until after the first or October.
 Among the interesting social events of the past week was an informal card party at which Mrs. John B. Reid entertained in honor of her house guest, Mrs. Bertram Brown of Eufaula Her guests included
 
 A lovely set of cut glass salt bowls, was won by Mrs. L. B. Lund. The guest of honor's prize was a pretty bon bon dish, also cut glass.
 On the same day Miss Jamie Harris en- tertained a number of her friends inform ally at bid euchre.
 pr. and Mrs Louis Schulhoefer gave a unique dance to which all the guests wore burlesaue costumes. Prizes for the most ridiculous costumes were won by Miss Jannette Benjamin and MT. Bert Hirsch. The dance was given in honor of MT Roy Strauss.
 An elaborate banquet was given Friday evening by the Birmingham Alumni asso- citation of the Kappa Alpha fraternity at the Hotel Hillman. Sixty members or the fraternity were present.

In 1t are many little mementoes of him; a marble bust, some of his manuscripts in his own penmanship, and several articles of old furniture. etc. From there to St. Michaels church yard, in which he lies: his monument is something on the order of a Grecian temple, a life-size marble statue within, and lowering over is the Goddess of Genius crowning him with the laurel wreath. I even visited the old Globe Tavern which was his favor ite resort when he indulged in his social glass with his bosom cronies.' To get in spirit with the 'auld' days I sat at the same table and quaffed my glass of ale, which I heartily relished. The tavern is well preserved and still has It's quota of visitors. In another portion of the town is a bronze statue of him, which Is very fine. Not the least interesting relic of bygone days In Dumfries is the curfew,' which has been rung (and still is) from the little steeple of the old Town Hall,' which has been standing since the 14th century.

lowing Cy Young story:
The old Pittsburgs were playing
in Cleveland one day in the '90s,
and, with the score to 1 against
us, | came up in the ninth with the
stands full of Smoky city fans, the
bases full of Pirates and two hands
out. Old Cy Young calmly turned
around and, disregarding every
thing everybody else said, waved
jim McAleer back. against the
fence in deep center field. 1t made
me mad to have my ability to place
a hit questioned and l decided to
show up both Cy and Jim. Young
handed me up one just where l
used to kill it, and | whaled away,
Whaled away and drove the ball on
a dead line and at mile second
clip straight into McAleer's hands.
He never moved an inch.
when they tell me that Old Cy
wins his games by brute strength
| think of that hot July day In
Cleveland and wonder if the old
boy doesn't mix little inside base
ball with all that strength"

Finally genius among them, so
bright that he could invent flying
machines If he wanted to, hit upon
a solution.
The sandwich was the beacon
that led him out of darkness.
What is a sandwich, anyway"
Something good to eat between two
hunks of bread, of course. Ham,
cheese, caviar, beef. eggs, all figure
in the unassuming sandwich of
commerce. Anything else? You
bet.
Walk into the tobacco emporium
of the genius on a pleasant Sunday
afternoon and call for an owl sand
witch. You get two slices of bread
with a five cent cigar between.
Maybe you prefer star sandwich.
Sure he has 'em. They consist of
slab of plug tobacco bounded by
two hunks of bread.
