n Depend Upon Women.

~aH Oepeno upon women
 sIfade has been fairly good this fpfing," said T. c. King, one of Bir- ningham's oldest and most esteemed merchants. Since moving to Second av- enue and adding millinery department to my clothing and furnishing store my business has largely increased. No mat ter how dull trade may be in a general way, women will always manage to buy something or other and keep the bottom from falling out. I have had a fine mill linery business; have sold big stock of hats. Trade in Birmingham Is decidedly more active than 1t was this time last year. and when the steel works at Ems ley resume operations the shopping dis trict will present brighter scene than ever.
 Business all over the country is inn proving. We not only read about 1t, but travelling men tell about 1t. One of my drummer friends from New York told me recently that he had taken 56 orders this spring as compared with 40 last spring. That is a sample of improved conditions"

To Select a Bishop.

Said a well-known layman: "The diocesan council of the Episcopal church in Virginia which meets this to the Right Rev. Bishop Gibson and according to the Richmond papers, the clergymen most prominently mentioned for the honor are the Rev. Dr. Arthur $. Lloyd, now secretary of the board of missions of the Episcopal church; the Rev. Dr. W. E. Evans, rector of the Church of the Advent of Birmingham, and the Rev. Dr. W. Meade Clarke, rec tor of St. James church, Richmond.
 At a special meeting of the council held at Fredericksburg last winter, the Rev. Berryman Green, D. D.. was chosen for the office of bishop coadjutor, but he declined. As Virginia Is one of the strongholds of the Episcopal church to be a bishop in that diocese is re- garded as an exceptional hoIor. A coadjutor has the right of succession, but as Bishop Gibson is not an old man and he enjoys good health, the one se- lected to assist him, humanly speak ing, might have to wait many years before assuming full charge of the diocese.
 "Dr. Evans was rector of Monumental church in Richmond at the time he was called here. He has a host of friends and admirers in Virginia, but while his parishioners in Birmingham and the Episcopalians of Alabama generally ap- preciate the mention of his nanle for l., main where he is. Dr. Evans is a tire less worker and gentleman of engag- ing personality and few rectors in the south have a stronger hold upon their people than he"

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR.
From the New York Press.

From the New York Press
 The great tribute to women is how good they are in spite of men.
 Most of the wear and tear of work on a man comes from his going to it all frazzed out by his play.
 Every outfit that can't pay its bills seems to be able to issue receivers cer- tificates except a big family.
 The destiny of woman. as the world works 1t out, is to be housekeeper for her husband, a supplicator for her sons, and a chaperon for her daughters.
 The sure sign man Is so old he ought to be able to know 1t bat doesn't is when girls don't think tts any different to kiss him from doing 1t to thsir grandmother 2 picture.

POINTING A MORAL.

"A little sand went drifting by''-that tells the story. Richard Henry Hengist Horne, in his celebrated poem, "Pelters of Pyramids,' has contrasted the little ness of man with the sublimlty of na- ture and inanimate things. After a party of profane tourists had scoffed at the pyramids and in petty spite, because these monuments paid such scant heed to their feeble cries, had pelted the pyramids and whooped and swore and spat in derision, they sat them down in camp for revelry. That night while they slept, steeped with drink, "a little sand went drifting by'

LOOKING FORWARD.

Some sweet day''-a promise fair Thrilled in the song he sang; For troubles cross we have to bear And sorrows bitter pang The future years will make amends The debt of Fortune pay To every trustful soul who wends , Down life's wayi "Some sweet day'-when hope is faint And inspiration dies, That song breaks through dull cares re-
 straint
 And sets before tired eyes The shining goal of which we dreamed When life was in its May; The pledge then made shall be redeemed Some sweet. day.

ADRIFT WITH THE TIMES

and the morning dawned serene on a plain where no puny figures moved about. The pyramids stood upreared against the sky but the tourists were buried for ever. And the lesson is one that he who runs may read. Don't be a pelter of pyramids at home or abroad.

MOST UNUSUAL

I fain would sing a hero Who did noble deed; Although he risked his life in truth.
 To that he gave no heed. And when his fame spread OCT the land And he was all the rage He drove truck, just as before,
 And didn't go on the stage.

Money Lost In Gold Stocks.

Tt is surprising to know how much hard earned money is dropped from time to time in gold mine stocks," said a real estate agent.
 Just before the panic many of our bus mess men, some of them noted for their conservatism and good judgment, invested large sums in western mining stocks and lost. The passion for speculation seems to be a part of our nature. In every city where the prosperous men are plentiful vast sums are lost in speculation every now and then.
 within the past three years something like $1, ,ooo, 900 has gone out of Birmingham, never to return in any tangible shape or form. And the sad part of 1t is that the experience of one generation does not inn press itself on the men of succeeding generation. As Solomon. the wise man, said, the thing that hath been is that which shall be- There will always be men ready to take wildcat flyers.

Old winters chill is quite forgot When blizzards used to blow And miles of summer blossoms make A paradise below.

 Where after years will bring But brighter smiles for each to wear And gladder songs to sing.

At BALL GAME
Minneapolis Has Innovation of
Religious Prelude to Sun
day Contest.

Minneapolis, Aug. 29.-ReligiOus preludes
to Sunday baseball games were started
here today when the Rev. G. L. MorreH
delivered a short address before the Min
neapOlis-Kansas City game. at Nicollet
park Mr.. Morrell was introduced by I'm
pire King.
'"The west" said Mr.. Morrell, as never
content to be behind the east In any pro-
gressiVe movement, and will not take a
back seat when baseball religious services
are considered. For myself, I do not
usually attend Sunday games, because
go every other day in the week, but there
is no reason why others than myself
should not enjoy the sport.
90 Live and let live is q pretty good
motto, and L believe that this crowd is
largely made up Of men who have but
this one weekly chance TO see the Mime
apolis club fight for the pennant.
It believe the only sin of Sunday ball
is for the home team to lose, so I say
to the Minneapolis boys go in and climb
a notch closer to the flag"

AN UNAsslsTED TRIPLE PLAY.


With a runner on first and another on
second,
And nobody out. we properly reck oned
We had those Red Necks beaten flat
So when our McConigy seized the bat
And faced the pitcher and pounded the
I admit we were somewhat loud and
elate.
"whizzr' came the ball, and Nc
An awful swipe with his wagon
Crack and missing the pitchers
Like a shot from cannon the base
ball sped
For the uttermost ends of center field,
And loud and louder the joybells
pealed.
But uD in the ether, ten feet high,
Their second baseman rose for that
fly.
And taking it in as safe and snug
As a kingbird gathers a ladybug,
He brought it earthward, hot from
And lit with both feet square on the
base.
The runner wandering off toward
third
Walked to the bench without a word,
While his teammate gal1Oping down
Wildly applied the brakes and re-
versed,
But the human flycatcher stung him
when
He turned to gallop to first again.
Now I maintained, and so did the
crowd,
That a thing that never should be
allowed
Was a triple play by one lone man;
So we caught the bonehead imp who
ran
That most disa greeable game of ball.
And we sent him away to the hospital
