TRAIN
 FOR CONVENTION Special Rates Preparing for
 Democratic Delegates THE ROUND TRIP S39 Representative Clayton and Democratic Committeeman Clark Howell of Georgia Consult With Frisco
 officials-By Birmingham.

Washington, April 25.-(Special.)- Representative Clayton, Alabama mem- Der of the democratic committed and Hon. Clark Howell, the Georgia mem Der of the same committee, have been cooperating with s. L. Parrott, the district passenger agent of the Frisco railroad at Atlanta, Ga for special rates and a special train to carry the delegations from Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina and Florida to the na- tional democratic convention to be held at Denver July '. MT. Parrott has in- formed these gentlemen that he has proceeded to arrange for special train to Denver. He assumes that the dele gation will not wish for the special train returning, as they may prefer their time for returning.
 MT. Parrott says that the round trip rate from Birmingham to Denver will be approximately S39, and that tickets will be sold daily after June l and will allow delegates to remain in Colorado as long as desired not to exceed Octo- Der 31, 1908. He also says that the rates from Georgia, South Carolina and Florida will probably be announced next month and will, of course, be tho same via all routes. MT. Parrott con-

The athletic meet between the Birming ham Athletic club and the Y. M. G., which took place in Athletic park yester- under the sanction of the S. A. A. U., and it's main purpose in view was to try out men from both institutions for entries in the big meet to be held in New Or leans next month. The Athletic club was winner, the score by points being 65 to 87.
 Owing to the heavy rains of Friday the track was slow. There was large crowd present and the enthusiasm and interest displayed by the spectators was indica- ton of the beginning of a new era in out door sports in Greater Birmingham. Each event was intensely interesting, and now and then when favorite excelled his competitor the fact eleited applause from his friends.
 Considering the condition of the track, the time made in the 100-yard dash, 10 2-5 second. is considered first class. The time made in the 440-yard race 55 2-5 sec onds, was phenomnal. The southern rec ord is B seconds flat, and this time was made on a straight-away track, whereas the track on which the runners competed yesterday is a one-sixth of a mile cin- dered track, necessitating three turns. What was perhaps the most exciting event of the day was the low hurdle 12O yards, two feet, six hurdles, won by Satter- field of the Athletic club. Leaton of the Y. M. c. A. was leading up to the last hurdle, and by a wonderful spurt Satterield beat him out by three feet.

The chiId's Right to the Bible.

From Appleton's for May.
 The Bible is not dreary book. It is a cheerful book. It is not dull book It is an intensely interesting book. Not all parts of it are appropriate reading for children. Why should they be? Some parts are not even fit for children to read. Bible literature must be given to children with discrimination, just as should any other literature. Your boy will be just as much interested in Bible stories as in any other stories unless you frighten him away from them. Also you will find that he wants the real Bible stories, not some- body's limitations. If he sometimes pre- fers Diamond Dick-The Boy Pirate" or it's like, it doesn't show that Bible stories do not interest him. It shows simply that you must use some tact in competing with the author of Diamond Dick" The Bible stories do him good. and Diamond Dick" does not Naturally he does not want to be done good to all the time, any more than do the rest of us.
 Instead of making him memorize the Bible for punishment let him memorze carefully selected passages in place of some other work. He may not thank you at the time, but he will some time. It will give him a heritage of pleasure and profit upon which he may draw at will for the rest of his life. Don't give him the idea that every Bible story is a moral lession. Some Bible stories are no more moral than some newspaper stories. If you confuse the moral and the historical your boy may grow up in doubt as to whether an Amalechite is a sin or a man. No matter what the theoogians may have said to the con- trary, it is not sacrilegious to treat the Bible sensiby. In fact, it seems to us sacrilegious to treat it any other way. Perhaps you were made wretched in your childhood by having the Bible unintelli- gently crammed down your throat Per haps you were made to memorize whole chapters by way of punishment. That that was not the best way to make you fond of it never occurred to your parents. They had never heard of child psycholo- gy Perhaps you were threatened with hell unless you believed every word in the Bible true in it's narrowest, it's most literal sense. Perhaps you remember fam fly prayers where you father read from the Bible in dreary monotone while the rest of you sat in awed silence From all this dreariness you wish to protect your. child, and no wonder! But that is no reason for depriving him of the real Bible.
