GADSDEN WANTS
 ILLINOIS CENTRAL
RUMoR HAS IT THAT THE LINE WILL BE EXTENDED TO ROME, GA.-POULTRY SHOW HAS A GOOD EFFECT.

Gadsden, December 1.-(speeial.) )-There is rumor abroad here that seems to have more or less foundation to the eff feet that the Illinois Central railroad will come to this city. The story of the line that the road is to build from Bir- mingham to Chattanooga connected with the fact that surveyors have been in the field for some time in Cherokee county northeast of this place gives some ground for the belief that there may be some thing doing. If the plan is as given out to connect with the Georgia Central near Rome, Ga, it is almost certain that this city would be on the line.

They don't look at mother in that way; no eyes in the world would dare, but I'm talking about ordinary people, who are not tall white arum lilies with the air of having grown in kings gardens.

But somehow it's the chin-the fea tuFe sou sllupls tahe iol Sidutcu uuu hardly remember on most faces-which dominates the rest. It comes rounding ont under her lips, making them seem to recede. though they don't really. And it's square. with an effect of the skin being laid on over some perfectly hard material, like marble, or the same ivory her teeth are made of. Besides all this-as if it weren't enough-she's a widow, one of those women who look as If they had been born widows. Anyway. I'm certain that Mrs. stuyvesantKnox can never have been a child.

beginning. It was because she thought Miss Woodburn might do for Stan forth, who must marry money, and is too poor. horribly poor, to be much of catch with most English heiresses, who aren't as keen on titles as they used to be unless there's some solid founda- tion for them to stand on and not wob- ble. Every one says Miss Woodburns a great heIress, and though she's few years older than Stan she's a lady, a charming creature and not bad looking Mother thought all that out the day they were introduced to her at the them here But Stan and the Wood burn wouldn't look at each otier. It was useless even for mothers genius to attempt the impossible, so she re- signed herself to the inevitable and gave the thing up. She meant to drop the Americans gently, which she could easily do, as they were going home soon, when this new idea popped up It's really important for me. dear.

 I wasn't. but my eyes were hot. and there was lump in my throat. I was homesick- homesick for something-I don't know what, but 1t seemed to be something I've never had yet and probably never can have. Thst Is why wanted to be alone and write everything down ez- actly as 1t has happened.

 And 70 you yhall be- told mother 1t would be much better to be frank with you, If you are baby. It's too late to explain things now, but if you'll be sweet to Mrs. Ess Kay and agree with everything everybody says about your trip, when we come up to bed and mothers doors shut I'll make a clean breast and show you exactly how matters stand" With this we separated, for we could hear Mrs. Ess Rays voice in the corri- dor talking to Sally Woodburn on the way downstairs. Her voice is never difficult to hear; rather the other way. and Miss Woodburn's soft little drawl following 1t, reminded me of spoonful of Devonshire cream after a bunch of entrants.
 Mother was with them both in the oak drawing room when Vic and got down. and I found myself staring at Mrs. Ess Kay with new kind of criticism in my mind. Indeed 1t hadn't occurred to me before to criticise at all. I'd only felt that l didn't want to come any closer to her Now was to come much closer 1t seemed, and looked at the glittering lady, wonder ing how 1t would feel to be so close, wondering what she herself was. Outside she's more like the biggest and most splendid dressmaker's model ever made for Paris show window than anything else I can think of. At | least she Is like that from under her chin down to the tips of her toes. I say under her chin, for that feature as we'll as all the others above it are J miles removed from pretty wax lady in show window.
 I never supposed till met Mrs Stuyvesant-Knox that live woman could have a figure exactly like the fashion plates. swelling like tidal wave above an hourglass of waist and retreating far, far into the dim perspective below it, then suddenly bulging out behind like round, mag nidcent knoll, after deep curve in' ward under the shoulders. But Mrs Stuyvesant- -Knox's figure does all these nIlngs even when she stands stfil and great many more when she walks. which act she accompllshes in grand, tweepy kind of way. with her head little thrown back, as if she wants everybody to know that she is tremen. aously important in the scheme, not ,nly of the world, but of the universe.
 Yet, in spite of all, in the end it's her face which impresses you even more than her figure, which is real triumph, as the figure is so elaborate and successful On top of her head Is quite little coil of hair that lifts itself and spirals up like a giant snai shell.

 The Same-It would be in part waste of time to go into discus sion of panics, and in part impos- sible for lack of figures. Panic Is indefinite, but business depressions are bound to follow periods of over trading and unwise use of credits Nobody supposes that the president is responsible for them, except pos sibly during a presidential campaign Serious panics have occurred in 1857 due to unsoundness of banks; in 1857 due to reckless extravaganza in railroad building; the panic Of 1869 was due to financial specula- ton; the panic of 1873, one of the worst in history, followed unprese- dented investment in railroads and manufacturing, much of 1t on credit at high rates of interest which the business of the country could not stand. The panic of 1884 was be- cause of similar reasons, and that oi last year was due to long period oi big profits which made borrowers careless. There were lesser crises in 1916, 1925, 1847 and 1893. have no list of cities where sour houses have been established during the past year, nor can I say how many persons were thrown out of employment because of the last panic.
