MAKING SHOES IN FOUR MINUTES


 How long would 1t take you to make a pair of boots, do you think? You prob ably had better not begin it, especially if you need them soon. Even a cobbler in the old days, working with his assist ant, would spend a day and half mak- ing pair of boots. And the cost would be about $4. But now, of course shoes are made by machinery, and it is aston ishing to hear how quickly they are made. It takes just four minutes to make pair of boots! And the labor cost is about 35 cents. Of course, no one makes the whole boot nowadays. There are a hundred different men making dif- ferent parts of 1t, and each one does the same thing oyer and over, again, and each one learns to do his particular work especially well and quickly. And you should see the buttons sewed on! A boy takes the part of the shoe where the but tons are to go and fits 1t into 8 machine, throws in handful of buttons quite carelessly, turns the machine, and in no time out comes the piece of leather with all the buttons exactly in the right place No wonder some factories turn out 1000 pairs of shoes in a dayl

Birmingham Then and Now.

Any one who visited Birmingham 20 years ago and sees 1t now cannot but marvel at it's splendid growth" said Charles A. Sawllins, whose headquarters are now here as the Alabama representa- tive of a famous publishing house.
 Twenty-Five years ago I was living in the east, but had occasion to travel through the south. I first saw Birming- ham 23 years ago I spent some time here and was struck then with the crude character of the town. Birmingham was then much talked about throughout the country, and people were coming here in droves to investigate conditions, and many remained The postoffice was on First avenue and so great was the number of transents whose mail came to the gen. eral delivery that two or three times day long line extending into the street was formed by those of us who had to be served from the general delivery window.

How To Succeed In Life.

Every boy wants to be a success In
life, Every Boy expects to be sue
cess, and he has right to expect it,
for it lies with himself whether he
shall be or not. There are difficulties
and hardships to be met by every boy
before he becomes man, and the
manner in which he meets them is
what determines his success or fail
ure in the future years when he has
reached manhood. People are anx-
ious to help the boy. His parents,
his teachers, his friends, all are think
ing and planning how best to help
the boy to be this success which he so
confidently plans to be.
A certain London paper, not long
since, sent letters to some prominent
men, who, having once been boys and
having achieved success, could give
some pointers on the way 1t was done
1 will give some OF the answers, and

Some may think they are handi-

OF this being help it really is at times
a hindrance to a young mans self
reliance and energy. The youth born
with the proverbial silver spoon in
his mouth has my sympathy, because
he will need to have q very large
amount Of grit and backbone~if he is
going to make a mao Of himself;
whereas the youth born of compare
lively poor parents knows that he
