71llneY Finishes SnYbey
 For Jefferson Highhay

Engineer Milner has also made sur- Mountain at Eighteenth street He finds that the tunnel from mouth to mouth will be about 400 feet long, and that the approaches will require considerable grad ing. While he will not make an esti- mate of the cost it will come considerably over $50000, but it is argued that at any price the advantages to be gained re- cure it.
 The report on the tunnel will be ready to submit to the Board of Revenue on about Wednesday of next week. At that time the proposition will be considered in all it's phases, and if so decided steps will be immediately taken to construct the connecting link with Shades valley.

Today, he with Government Engineer Heidel, will go out and walk over the route, making observations, planning cuts and discussing material. They will then be in a position to make an estimate of the cost.
 Actual work on the road is expected to begin within a week. It will be pushed rapidly, but carefully, under@ths. direction of Engineer Heidel and when finished Will make the model road of the south.

RELIEF WORKERS
 GETTING IN TOUCH
COMMITTEE AT MEETING TESTER. DAY DECIDED ON A PLAN OF AcTIoN--ACkNoWLEDGMENT OF FUNDS so FAR RECEIVED.

The Birmingham relief committee for the cyclone sufferers was in session yes terday morning and decided on com municating with the local committees in the storm-swept section of the state also with the probate judges and the sheriffs in the several counties swept by the storm in order that the committee may be possessed with sufficiently accurate in- formation to intelligently distribute the funds now committed to them and what ever other funds may be placed in their hands.
 Judge John F. Kelton and M. c. All good Of Oneonta met witn the committee and gave an account of the destruction in Blount county. They told a tale of ruin far beyond what had been antci- pated. The storm travelled 40 miles in this county alone and did its havoc among the poorer people of that section, leaving some 7O-odd families destitute, killing five or six persons and maiming a con- siderable number. Two children of this section are being cared for here in the hospitals of Birmingham at this time. It will take considerable fund to re- 1eve the distress from this fearful dis aster, as larger area and a greater num- Der of places were visited by the recent tornado than any in the history of Ala bama, or in the entire south.
 The committee had received up to noon yesterday

 Having reached the cemetery it will cost you another dollar before your re- mains may be lowered into the ground, this ordinance also demanding the sum of $1 before a permit will be issued to you to dig a grave.
 The Birmingham undertakers were noti- fled of this ruling several days ago. and advised that any funerals passing through Elyton after May 1 would have to secure a permit costing $1 and that the digging of a grave would necessitate the secur- ing of another permit at the cost of $l.

Animal Nature.

Why does dog when in slight
alarm and listening lift up fore
foot from the ground? Sometimes
it is the left foot, sometimes the
right. The setter is usually de-
picted with all his feet on the
ground, the pointer with one foot
raised. The cat has the same habit
of lifting up one fore foot when in
a state of uncertainty. Is the
hearing more acute with three feet
on terra frma than with four? In
teresting problems these for the
student of nature to study.
Dancing and the Hands.
~ used to think that sort of
dancing was easy" whispered a wo-
man to her escort in the theater
where a musical comedy was being
performed. By 'Ethat sort of dane
ing" she meant the work of the
chorus. "But now that I've taken
up the craze for learning fancy
dances l know that it is ever SO
much harder than it looks. 1t amt
the steps that bother me. Most
women can manage that part of the
lessons easy enough. The sticking
point is to learn to manage my
hands. To have them more in per-
feet accord with the steps and the
music has brought me to tears more
than once, and it seems to me that
I never will learn to use my hands
just right. l believe that chorus
girls are troubled the same way in
the beginning, but no one except
one who has worked as hard as |
have can appreciate how clever
their work is."-New York Press.

have read of the wonder of the
ancient world, the hanging gardens
Of Babylon, which Nebuchadnezzar
reared in graceful terraces high
above the brazen gates of the city
to remind his Median wife of her

Of which Tennyson draws this bean
tiful picture:
How sweet it were. hearing the down.

But certainly the garden spot of
the modern world is in the Missis-
sippi valley, with its sun kissed
mountains and broad, rolling prai-
ries; the paradise of the twentieth
century civilization there in our
magnificent, fertile and majestic
Missouri, with her blue sky, her pei
lucid streams, her balmy air, her gor-
geous sunsets and her everlasting
hills. We may visit the famed GAL
leries of the world and feast our
aesthetic tastes upon the master
pieces of Raphael, Rembrandt and
Angelo, Reynolds and Van Dyck, but
no painters brush ever has. or ever
can produce on canvas half the glo-
ry and majesty and sublimity of an
autumn sunset in the Ozark hills,
with the golden sunlight gliding
the treetops and throwing over and
about the variegated foliage its soft
and mellow radiance.
Beethoven and Mozart, Mendels-
sohn and Handel and Wagner have
poured forth flood of melody and
harmony which will delight the
ears of mankind while civilization
lasts, but it can never inspire that
feeling of buoyancy and exhilara-
ton, that bubbling joy and glad
ness, which is felt by the barefoot
boy as he listens to the morning
song of the mocking bird, the robin
and the lark as they fit from limb
to limb, while the sunlight glistens
on the dew and the very air he
breathes is full of life and glad
ness.-From Speech of Robert La
