BRYAN HAS JOKE
 ON HORACE HOOD

Montgomery, February 10-(Special. J. This is the story of how Horace Hood. editor of the Montgomery Journal. who is also sheriff of Montgomery county, mistook William Jennings Bryan for a wanted infractor of the law:
 Early Wednesday morning the phone in the editorial rooms of the Journal rang.
 Let me speak to MT. Hood," was the request.
 MT. Hood came and was told by Gen. eral Manager Frank Harvey Miller or the Journal, the man at the other end of the wire, that he had man in his office who wanted to see him.
 "Who is it?"swas the query.
 MT. Bryan" said Mr Miller.
 What MT. Bryan?" was the further re- quest.
 "Mr W. J. Bryan" came back the answer.
 Sure" said MT. Hood, thinking that he recognized the name of a man much ly wanted for few bad offenses. Hold him until can get there"
 And while MT. Hood hurried down the steps MT. Bryan sat in a chair in MT. Miller s o1Ilce ana enjoyed the Joke lndC was on his friend of the editorial end.
 After handshalzings MT. Bryan was taken to the capitol by MT. Hood. He later visited the offices of the state and afterwards made short talk to the stu dents of the, Starke University school, who, hearing of his visit were lined up on the sidewalk in full uniform to give him a noisy college welcome.
 While at the capitol MT. Bryan was shown every courtesy by Gov B. B. Conner. He visited the various offices and made himself acquainted with al number of heads of departments. He was doubly glad to see his friend William w. Brandon, auditor, who helped him carry his own state of Nebraska in the recent campaign.
 As a result of wrong information on the part of porter MT. Bryan missed the Louisville and Nashville train, on which he intended to go to St. Louis, and had to leave via Artesa and other Mississippi points on the Mobile and Ohio, the local officials of the Louisville and Nashville changing his ticket
 q was first dubbed Colonel in Ala bama," said the Commoner in the office of Governor Conner, and it has stuck to me. You have so many colonels down here. Why not have a few majors as we come along?"

Death of Walter HaRleY

Birmingham sent from time to time to New York four newspaper men, and all went from The Age-Herald office. They were Hawley, McCardell. flag gard and Bulger. All secured good places on the New York papers, and all were active men in metropolitan jour nalism up to the time of MT Hawley's last illuess. MT. Hawley went first to New York, and he was the first of the quartette to go over the Divide.
 He was taken away in lnid-life at the age of 52, when he had many years Of usefulness before him. He seems to have been at home among public men of all parties and to have been trusted and beloved by all of them. His un- timely death will be widely mourned and it does seem strange that in New York city typhoid fever should be per mitted to carry off a man of excellent habits.
 In this connection another Age-Her- aid worker should be mentioned, Mir Mat Alexander. He, too, went to New York, and his success was consider able. but he did not have the staying qualities of the four already men, toned. These young men drawn from Birmingham do but illustrate how con- stantly the metropolis draws upon the rest of the country for young men and for all else that 1t needs.

THE LAKE ISLE OF MINSTREL.

By William Butler Yeats. I will arise and go now, and go to Innis-
 free, And a small cabin build there, of clay
 and wattles made; Nine bean rows will l have there, a hive for the honey-bee, And live alone in the bee-loud glade. And I shall have some peace there. for
 peace comes dropping slow, Dropping from the veils of the morning
 to where the cricket sings There midnights all a-glimmer, and noon
 a purple glow, And evening full of the linnets wings. I will arise and go now, for always night
 and day I hear. the lake water tapping with low
 sounds by the shore; While l stand on the roadway or on the
 pavements gray, hear it in the deep hearts core.

Birminehan's Windy Corner.

Birmingham has a corner which for windy purposes lays over the famous Flatiron building corner in New York like a large windmill does over the pinwheel which small boys like to play with,' said a pedestrian.
 '-The corner is none other than the inter section of First avenue and Twentieth street, around which the wild winds sweep in every direction with the velocity of an imaginary airship. When the Woodward building was erected at this corner. sev- eral years ago. this spot became a windy place. Then the Brown-Marx building was erected on the opposite corner and peo- pie began to remark on the manner in which the air was circulating around this corner.
 But since the immense annex was built to the Brown-Marx building old Aeolus has whipped his servants into a perfect fury around this spot. With a whistling mourn they swing around the corners of the skyscrapers and in their wake fol- low hats and strong epithets.
 An evidence of the force with which the wind plays around this corner was shown yesterday when a dray bearing a large canvass sign advertising the Pure Food show was turned over on it's side when the wind struck 1t.
 ''At times it is almost impossible for a woman to cross the streets. The rest of the city may be in an absolute calm, but the air is always moving at this corner When the Empire building rears &t.s- fxt1 alrt., three skyscrapers at this corner. while plans are underway for the construction of a 20-story building on the American Trust site. this corner will truly be the cave of the winds"

ALWAYS HOPING.

Misfortune seemed to dog his steps Most everywhere he went. And weary were the years of toll In this old world he spent. And yet, in spite of troubles grip And sorrows frequent calls. He clung to hope and fought his best And scaled a hundred walls. The laurel wasn't meant for him, Nor honors wide applause, Nor yellow gold, nor happiness To give his anguish pause Unlueky from his day of birth, His sole comrade was pain And in his breast always there beat A sad hearts low refrain. But shadow days were powerless To rob him of his smiles He strove against the hand of fate To make his life worth while And when he laid him down to die And friends said "So long, Bill,'' He gave each one a kindly look And kept on hoping still!
