REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR.

From the New York Press.
 Logic kills the joy of living for a woman.
 An encouraging thing about college boy is maybe he will get over it.
 A man would rather be bored to death at the theatre than enjoy himself at q lecture.
 The only thing a good woman can be selfish about is all the things she wants everybody to do for her children.
 A widow can be so successful with a man because she has learned by experi- ence that what pieases him most is to have her act as if what would be vices in anybody else are virtues. in him.

PROMISES.

Some day we'll win to heights sublime, Some day our merits prove; Some day we'll learn to speak kind words And comfort those we love. Some day we'll lay our faults aside
 And stand in heavens light; Some day we'll leave the cause of wrong And cling steadfast to right. Some day we'll lend a helping hand
 To friends and neighbors down; Some day we'll brush away the tears
 Of those whom sorrows crown. Some day we'll gladly toll and rest,
 Contented with our lot: Some day, that neer will come, we'll be Most everything we're not.

WORLDS WHEAT SUPPLY

the predictions of some observers regard ing the dminuitlon of wheat exports will be justified
 This possible approach to the maximum of wheat acreage is not at all the eauiva- lent of approach to the maximum of wheat production. The average wheat yield for the last 20 years has been 131a bushels to the acre. In Great Britain the average yield is about s2 bushels to the acre. Here Is the weak spot in our na- tional wheat business. The acre value of the American output for the last 10 years shows an average of about S10.40 As land increases in value it becomes impossible to raise wheat at profit op/a any such basis. The state of New York produced more wheat in 1883 than in 19O7 New England is practically out of the wheat business. Comparing the yield of 1883 with that of 1907, an increase appears in Pennsylvania and Maryland. Virginia, West Virginia Ohio Tennessee, and Ken lucky show fluctuations from year to year, but no material change in 10-year agerages. Michigan shows a shrinkage of about one-half and Wisconsin appears to be abandoning the industry altogether. Indiana and Illinois about hold their own. Iowa shows marked decline. The gain comes principally in the states of later settlement, the frontier states, where land a few years ago was cheap.
 The conclusion is inevitable that with the passing of cheap land there must also be a passing of cheap wheat, unless there shall be devised and adopted some prof. table system of intensive cultivation, with decided increase in yield to the acre. The alternative will be importation, duty free, from countries that still have cheap land.

DISCOURAGED

"All for love of you" he sang.
 ''All for love of you" The maiden spoke of an auto ear And trips she'd like to take afar Where fine hotels and pleasures are
 His heart was filled with rue. He counted up his weekly wage. Consumed by melancholy rage. While money threw to Love a gage And won the battle, too. Alack, alas he sings no more
 That sweet and tender strain, But tolls each day in a clothing stors,
 With all his might and main. And seldom asks the baseball score,
 He suffers so much painl

Birmingham Abroad.

T never knew how to fully appreciate the true greatness of Birmingham until l moved away from the district" said a former Birmingham man who now lives in Chicago

Cheerful Feeling Everywhere.

"There has been a marked improve ment in general trade within the past two weeks" said F. w. Beacham of Chicago.
 within the past twelve months busi- ness in Chicago has been fairly good-far better than in other cities. We have cer- tainly felt the effects of the panic less than New York, but I was in the east week ago and everywhere I went I found a cheerful feeling about the busi- ness outlook.
 "In most of the southern cities busi- ness conditions are almost if not quite normal. Birmingham, like all important industrial centers, experienced consider able depression from the panic, but the situation in this district has improved so fast recently that I now find people here- abouts optimistic. Everybody is talking about an industrial revival, and bankers and merchants say that business is m- proving every day and is beginning to look buoyant once more.
 Birmingham has this advantage over most citiesi When the business of the country is normal, there is a much great CT degree of prosperity here than in those communities which are without the iron and steel industries In other words when Birmingham is busy it is the busiest city in the south. It is now taking good strides again, and it is safe to say that by this time next year it will be making new high records in payrolls and growth.
 If the legislature meets this year and re-enacts the greater Birmingham meas- ure, this city will get insthe next census with 100000 population, or more. But whether or not the limits are extended so as to take in all the outlying towns, Birmingham will be known as the south's most phenomenal city. By 1920 Ensley and probably Bessemer will be annexed to Birmingham, and this city's population will then be over the 00,oOO mark. In the

But there were giants in other days whose shoes he would have been unfit to latch It Is quite possible that if, in pinch of dust, some one should forget about that tablet and a Paris workman in a blue blouse should tramp with his muddy, clumsy feet through that doorway-if is quite possible, fe repear, that a better man than Rostand might reawaken the echoes in that long-sealed corridor sacred to the imprint of the poets footsteps

Sees Trade Improvement.

Joseph Ogden, a man of considerable prominence in Philadelphia, and who is quite we'll known in the east, is reg istered at the Hillma1. Mir. Ogden will remain in Birmingham until Tuesday or Wednesday. When asked about general conditions in the east, MT. Ogden said:
 While, the big eastern cities felt the recent panic more than either the south- ern or western cities, general conditions ar fighting themselves and matters ap- pear to be moving along fairly smooth Fly. A few months ago there were thous- ands and thousands of idle men walk ing the streets in the big cities while now they are being taken back into the shops and manufactories of various kinds. When the panic was at it's worst the Baldwin Locomotive company reduced it's force of workmen from between 1S000 and 10000 men to 40O0. This is only one example of the great army of men who were thrown out of employment. How ever they are being taken back and believe conditions generally are greatly improved.
 "The money market, which was as tight as a corked bottle, Is becoming easier and this is an excellent sign. I am of the opinion, however, that general trade conditions will not become thoroughly settled until the new crops come in, al- though the improvement within the past few months has been most encourag- ino

While l am not connected with the management of the music festival, which opens next Wednesday night under MT. Damrosch's direction feel deep inter- est in 1t, and am glad to learn that there has been a large demand for season tickets said J. k. Shelby. president of the Birmingham Music Festival associa- ton.
 This festival will be, without doubt, the most attractive musical event in the south this year. It will be indeed a grand affair, and the attendance will include hundreds of out-of-town music lovers.
 Every business man in Birmingham can well afford to take a public-spirited view of the festival and secure a season ticket. If this festival Is financial suo- cess it will mean an annual festival as a permanent institution, beginning next year. And a music festival held annually will help Birmingham in many ways"

 Why should we weep? Why should we waste in signs Days better spent Toiling for the love of toll, Happy and content? Only a little while,

 Then "Goodnight;" Only a little while
 Why should we slight Chances we might happy be, Signing still in vain For the crown that only brings Sorrow in it's train?
