AGE-HERALD ECHOES


Houston Post: The Age-H Herald advises
everybody in Birmingham to be Tacci-
mated. The anti-intoxine idea in that
town seems to be holding out pretty well.
Rome Tribune-Herald: straight whisky
is not always honest whisky" says the
Birmingham Age-derald. but even honest
whisky Will sometimes prevent a man
from walking straight.
Houston Post: We do not mind notify
ing The Age-Herald that If the "Beerine
now served in Birmingham is what we
suspect it is, we shall restore that town
to our itinerary.

1t might be added that they like their
jobs since the increase in salary to $500
year. As a matter of fact the salary is
rather high for the service some of them
are rendering their constituencies. A $500
man in $3.50 JOB is a misfit.

flied with dreamers whose dreams are
buried with them in the grave. Happy

dreams with the world and thrice happy
the man who can persuade the world to
share in his dreams Birmingham Age
Herald.
Certainly your ideas on this subject are
eminetnly sound, and while l fully agree
with you, still I want to understand why
Il is that you have buried these dreamers
and their dreams, while they are still
filing the world. l think. however, 1 can
comprehend, and this is really a nice dis
tinction to make These dreamers are
dead and they don't know it, and, or
course, you have very thoughtfully buried
them. 1 meet so many people going
through life as if in a dream, that If
were to undertake to bury them all,
would have to so into the undertaking
business. Still, as you say the dreamers
have mission to perform, but l am sat
isfied If most. of them would wake up
and pay their bills, we could send more
missionaries to feed the heather with,
and then everybody would be benetfted.
Yes, man ought to be more than thrice
happy, IL he can get anybody to stand
while he tells his dreams.

Very Little Gambling.

81 have known the time when Biz
mingham was practically wide open
in the matter OF gambling, but for sew
eral weeks past gaming has been al
most at a standstill," remarked a man
about Aown. THE vigilance of the
officers has been doubtless a deterrent
but even had the police and deputies
been less active gambling would have
been little in evidence, owing to dull
times IN business. Sport only four
fishes I'm flush times.
"It has been my observation that
both the liquor trade and gambling
houses are quick to feel the effects of
money stringency or business depres-
ion; but of the two the gambling in
terests are the more readily affected.
1t is so in every CITY,"

TO A WATER FOWL.

By William Cullen Bryant
Whittier, midst falling dew,
While glow the heavens with the last
steps of day,
Far through their rosy depths, dost thou
pursue
Thy solitary way?
Vainly the fowler's eye
Might mark thy distant flight to do thee
wrong,
As, darlSly seen against the crimson sky,
Thy figure floats along.
Seekst thou the plashy brink
OF weedy lake, or marge of river wide,
Or where the rocking pillows rise and
sink
On the chafed ocean side?
There is Power whose care
Teaches thy way along that painless
coast
The desert and illimitable air
Lone wandering, but not lost.
All day thy wings have famed,
At that far height. the cold, thin atmos-
phere,
Yet scoop not, weary, to the welcome land,
Though the dark night is near
And soon that toll shall end;
Soon shalt thou find summer home.
and rest,
And scream among thy fellows; reeds
shall bend
Soon, DER thy sheltered nest.
Thou 'rt gone, the abyss of heaven
Hath swallowed up thy form; yet on my
heart
Deeply hath sunk the lesson thou hast
given
And shall not soon depart
He who from zone to zone.
Guides through the boundless sky thy
certain flight
In the long way that I must tread alone
VIII lead by steps Alright.

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
Mr.. Rowron,s Remarks.

In his address at a republican con-
ference Friday James Bowron discussed
only state and national politics and did
not allude, directly or indirectly, to
city politics. lie spoke chiefly from an
economic point of view, bearing esz
pecially on industrial and commercial
conditions. Regarding municipal mat
ters Mr.. Bowron insists that they
should be entirely divorced from parti-
san politics.
In selecting city officials" Mr.. Bow
ron has said on more' than one occa-
sion, we should have but one thing in
mind, namely, the filing of the offices
by suitable men. The party question
should never be raised. This is the
stand that I have always taken and
the idea with me is fixed principle"

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR.
From the New York Times.

tIIC INV VffR
You could never convince a woman
that it is fair to expect her to pay bet.
The best way for a homely girl to
improve her looks is to inherit a lot of
money.
It's mighty good Christian that can
bump his shins on a rocking chair and
keep his mouth shut.
There's hardly anything makes a man
madden with his wife than for him
to run cold water In his bath when he
thought he turned the faucet for warm.
The trouble with having q good-look-
ing maid in the house Is she gets mad
with the h cad Of it IL he doesn't notice
her, and the wife gets madder If he
does.

He picks a flaw in everything,
No matter what you do;
His eyes are bent upon the false,
He never sees the true.
Regardless of your growing fame
Tho shining your success,
He'll speak a hateful word or two
And make it show up less.
He stands upon the corner, or
He lounges in a chair,
And talks about the downward trend
With sympathetic air.
He can't locate the good at all,
Although he tries. egad.
But you can bet your dollars that
He'll always find the bad.

characteristics, some Of which may just
ly be applied to the devil wagon. The
griffins in India had red feathers on their
breasts and in their other parts eyes of
fire. The griffins OF Greece were sacred
to the goddess of vengeance. The auto

often excites thought of revenge, it may

the griffin was his greed of gold; it built

it of Its plumber. The nest of the auto

Years a5b the Poet Chester sang:
The griffin is a bird richly feathered,

Is like the eagles, much for to be feared

that Arizona, and particularly the

months absence at San Diego, Cal.
Mr.. Makes claims are very conven-

from the railroad and the Kelvin Ray
wagon road passes directly through
them. He has numerous good copper
showings and assays have been good.
He will put a force of men to work
in a few days to do his assessment
work for this year.
Kelvin and Ray have had an influx
of babies the past month.
John McMasters is now the engi-
neer of the Ray limited and is fast
making a name for himself as a
record time breaker. Not long ago
when Mr.. Weedin of Florence was
to deliver a political address. he
carried a party of Kelvin rooters to
Ray in about twenty-five minutes,
establishing a record.
Mr.. Scott of Ray suffered a pain
full accident last week. He works
on one of the drills and while they
were moving it his hand was caught
in the machinery and was badly
mangled. The wound was dressed
and Mr.. Scott returned to work.

The Wessex company has had
hauled a car load of alfalfa seed to
Phoenix this week and will ship it
to San Francisco.
The alfalfa seed is moving out very

ensuing year. A. Coverly is also
a petition for the same

that Wedgeworth will get his scalp,

paid to the man who captures the
road job of the Buckeye district.
Twenty hundred dollars was Civ
