Bessemer, September 4.-(Special.) 1.-The last service in the old Presbyterian church Will be held tomorrow morning at Il o'clock.

D., pastor of a large congrega- ton in Baltimore; the Rev. R. D. Car michael Ph D., D. D., a professor in Princeton college; the Rev. wayman Coltfelder at present a student at the Louisville seminary and the Rev. Charles E. Raynal of Charlotte N. c.

A Bankrupt Poet.

From the Washington Star.
 Judging from a dispatch from Lon don, the modern poet is but little bet ter off than his predecessor of the early days when devotees of the muse wrote in attics and lived on crusts. Stephen Phillips is undoubtedly one of the leading dramatic poets today He has done some great work that will live in the future. Some critics, in deed, have hinted at Shakespearean classification. His muse is strictly classical and he panders not to the popular taste. He remains upon his Olympian heights and from thence he sends forth his poems and dramas to delight the souls of those attuned to the finer vibrations. But the boOksell ers' accounts do not disclose a large demand for Phillips works. He never gets among the "six best sellers" Pos sibly he is pleased to remain immune from the commercializing influences of the period, but art on high plane is often accompanied by endorsements

and landlords do not willingly take their rent in madrigals nor grocers their pay in sonnets. As a result of this indifference to the poets qualities as a contributor to the ethical develop ment of the period certain impatient people have recently cited MT. Phillips for a failure to meet his little obliga- tions, and bankruptcy proceedings have been instituted, a fact In itself sufficiently embarrassing, but not all that has come to vex the soul of the poet. He was to have attended a pub lie examination in the bankruptcy court the other day, but failed to put in appearance, and his absence was officially explained as being due to the entirely logical fact that MT. Phil lips, being a bankrupt, lacked the price to buy a railroad ticket from his home in Brighton to the capital

Hog Disinfects Self.

A hog-disinfecting device is among he novelties described with illustra- lon in the October Popular Mechan-
 es. It is an absolutely automatic de- lice which enables every hog to dis Infect himself, and the results, al- |hough he is only thinking of the rub ling, are so pleasing that he becomes willing auxiliary to the operation. Ill that is necessary in the operation s to keep the tank filled with the dis 'nfectant and to place it where the logs have access to it. A lever is GOV |red with burlap, and when the hog |lbs against it the action opens a |Rlve, releasing the contents of the
The Birmingham age-herald., 1909-09-26

pipe leading from the disinfectant tank and spraying it over his back. This also closes a valve at the base of the tank so that the hog will only get his share of the disinfectant. When the pressure against the lever is removed it springs back to it's original position, closing the valve at the spray head and opening the valve at the base of the tank. This automatically reloads the spray pipe.

Babies can grow in almost anything. but thrive best in 8 hot and dusty rail- road coach five minutes past the time that you had seriously considered little nap. The. fact that there is crying need of more babies will never be brought home in a passenger coach.
 The baby has often been called ths Prince of Walls
 A baby is subject to many diseases. One of the most serious of these is called boofioohooritis, which Is the result of the unfortunate combination of a misplaced pin and fool nurse.
 Babies are very cunning. particularly at the age when they bite off the woodwork and lick off the wall paper.
 In nautical terms, the baby's squalL might be called a-spanking breese.
