And [ said: you're just past four;

When you're turned say, thirty more!"

More couded skies than blue
And 1 anxiously peered in his upturned face
For it seemed to say: Odd your

And I said to the boy: "Heigh, hoi
Those lips are as sweet as the hay, new-mown;
Will you keep them always so9'
Then back from those years came rakish song
With ribald jest or two
And l gazed at the child who knew no wrong.
And [ thought he asked: "Did you"

And [ cried: "Oh boy of mine
Will you keep them true in the after-year?

Then out of the past came another's eyes
Sad eyes of tear-dimmed blue
Did he know they were not his mothers ewes?
For he answered me: "Did you?"

THE LITTLE ROOF ROOM.

Q. the little roof room is safe retreat
When the Fates are misbehavng:
When foes are all too fierce to meet
And the battle too thick for Drawing.
The world and its struggle are far away,
And never its echoes come
To the dreamer bid his dreams amid
Up in the little roof room.
The corners are dim with the gathered dust
OF many a careless year,
The locks and hinges are red with rust
And the walls are dark and drear;
But the spider under the Collins arch
Fashions his fragile home
And the small gray mouse has found house
Back in the little roof room
Here are ancient things that have done their day
And passed their hours prime,
Out of the daylight put away
Under the care of time:
Old marred and broken and useless things,
Mute neighbors in the gloom
Quiet these with their memories
Up in the little roof room
Here sounds no woe of the worlds refrain.
Just mousies' scurrying feet.
The buzzing fly on the window pane.
The rains persistent beat:
And the song of the soul is with them blent.
And the heart is best at home,
Three flights above life's discomfort
Up in the little roof room!

THE FIGHTING RACE.

And Kelly dropped his head.
While Shea-they call him Scholar Jack
Went down the list of the dead
Officers, seamen, gunners. marines,
The crews of the gig and yawl,
The bearded man and the lad in his teens,
Carpenters, coal passers-all.
Then, knocking the ashes from out his pipe,
Said Burke in offhand way:
''Were all III that dead mans list, by Grippe!

Said Kelley and Burke and Shea.
''Wherever there's Kelly there's trouble" said
Burke
"Wherever fightings the game,
Or a spice of danger in grown mans work."
Said Kelly, you'll find my name"
"And do we fall short" said Burke, getting mad,
"When it's touch and go for life"
Said Shea, ''It's thirty -odd years, bedad,

But his rusty pixies in the cabin STILL

And still there's enough for corps or crew.

"Well. here is to good honest fighting bloodp
Said Kelly and Burke and Shea
ooh, the fighting races don't die out,
If they seldom die in bed,
For love is first in their hearts, no doubt"
Said Burke; then Kelly said:

(hiCagO'S Ambition

Chicago claims Gary as a suburb, although it is 30 miles distant in an- other state The approaching com pletion at Gary of a great iron and steel plant in addition to the plants in South Chicago induces the western metropolis to dream of supremacy as an iron and steel producing center. It proposes to supersede Pittsburg as the iron and steel center of the coun- try, not being content to rank along side it.
 This claim is based on the fact that Pittsburgs furnaces melt Lake Su- perior ore. It quite overlooks the fact that neither Illinois nor Indiana pos sesses any coking coal and that all fuel used in it's iron and steel plants must be wheeled from Connellsville.
 AS a rule ore seeks fuel, but Chi oago proposes to reverse the process by making fuel seek ore, or rather to meet it half way, and the scheme will be successful. But will it be so successful that Chicago will be able to outrank Pittsburg in the iron and steel world?
 Chicago will not long be content to let Pittsburg name steel prices. There will be a Pittsburg price and a Chicago price each f. o. b. Why not then a Birmingham price f. o. b? Chicago's assertion of a price will not be long delayed and Birmingham should be granted a price at the same time,

 Judson college has been exceptionally fortunate this year in securing instructors and the high degree of excellence of the Glee club may be largely attributed to the work of Mrs. Gurganus with the chorus and Miss Dudley and Miss Adams in solo and part song.
 The stage was profusely decorated with evergreens and as the curtain rose the audience was greeted with an inspiring picture of loveliness as almost 100 young ladies grouped about the stage rendered the first number of "The Garden of Flowers" G.

WRECK ON SOUTHERN.
Baggagemaster Porter King Is Badly
 Broken Up.

Anniston, February 17-(Special.)-- Some interesting and more or less re- markable incidents are related in connec- tion with the wreck of Southern passen- ger train No. 12, due in this city from Birmingham at 257 a. m., at Lovetts early this morning.
 The wreck .yas caused by broken rail on deep curve. The baggage car, mail car and another car, with the two engines, left the track, and slid down an embankment Porter King of this city, who was baggagemaster on the train. was considerably bruised. The cars ran along the rails for a distance of about 300 yards Despite the jar caused thereby, though. it is said that there was one passenger on the train in the day coach who knew nothing of the wreck until he was aroused from sleep. about an hour afterward. The train was delayed several hours and traffic general ly was considerably disturbed. It is con- sidered remarkable that King was not more badly injured.

JnrieS in Tennessee

Out of 3019 men summoned to ap- pear in court at the Cooper trial in Nashville 12 peers" were at last se- Iected. Five of these peers can neith- CT read nor write, two more under stand English indifferently and none of them has read a newspaper since before the killing, and some of them had not read one in ten years. These men may be peers" in Tennessee, but they would not be so considered in any other state.
 Certainly not in Mississippi, where an illiterate man is not permitted to serve on a jury. A would-be juror in that state is first asked if he can read and write, next he is asked if he is a qualified eleetor and then he is asked if he is a common gambler or drunk ard. The Mississippi method of se- lecting jurors seems to be the very reverse of that of Tennessee as ex- emplified in the Cooper case.
 Just why Mississippi should seek to place men of intelligence in the jury box while Tennessee seeks to place there men of dense ignorance is something that puzzles the Mem phis Commercial-Appeal. It thinks the lawyers and judges of its state should formulate a bill revising the system of selecting jurors in Tennessee. "It has been said" adds the Commercial Appeal, "that human life is the cheap est thing in this state" and it inti- mates that the jury sustem of Ten nessee is partly at least at fault.

 In reply to questions, Waddell de- nied that he had any conversations with agents of the Du Pont company while he was in the employ of that concern regarding a proposition to start an independent company for the pur- pose of compelling the Du Pont com pany to buy it out.
 After you organized the Buckeye company, you got the business of the Du Pont by cutting prices, didn't you, making these cut prices to people you had sold powder to while in the em- ploy of the Du Ponts?"
 We never cut prices. but tried to keep them up as high as possible. The company was organized to make money and we were very cautious about mak- ing prices that would lose us money"
