A Gentle Aspersion.

Among the prisoners brought before
a Chicago police magistrate mi Mon
day morning was one, a beggar, whose
face was by no means an unfamiliar
one to the judge.
II an informed that you have again
been found begging in the public
streets" said his honor, sternly, "and
yet you carried in your pocket over
$40 in currency"
Eyes, your honor" proudly returned
the mendicant. 81 may not be as in
dustrious as some, but sir, l am no
spendthrift. "-Harper's Weekly.

needless Of the sleeping Plato, she
raised her voice a little. He gave no
sign OF rousing, however; indeed, his
slumber seemed more quiet, and he
lay breathing regularly, with his arm
dangling over the edge of the bed.
Mrs. Dobbs gazed with awe at the
bowl on the table.
"Are you sure" she demanded, that
you've mixed 1t according to direc-

Man Does Not Know How 70 Live.

Modern life so depends upon med
ical science that, whether humanity
is willing or unwilling, the profession
IS indispensable to progress. Because
mans life is SO artificial he is the
only animal that does not know how
to live, and must be assisted on every
hand by the science and imitation of
nature.

One Cause of Neck BoiIs.

Neck boils come with the sweaty
season. Many people have large hair
pores on the back of the neck. The
sweaty, starched collar rim is good
culture soil for boil and carbuncle
germs, which get rubbed into the
large hair follicles or sacks, producing
a painful, sometimes dangerous
spreading crop.

 Good Crowd from City.

The Gentry dog and pony show played two engagements in Birmingham yester- day afternoon and last night at the show grounds. corner Eighth avenue and Thir- teenth street. very creditable parade was given yesterday morning which was enjoyed by the grown-ups almost as much as by the children.
 The Gentry show comes every year and i. has become so popular that it's annual visits are looked forward to with lively anticipation The animal performers this year are just as clever and entertaining as ever and thea pleased the crowds. The Gentry show occupies field particularly its own and so far as the south Is con- cerned there is practically no competition. The dogs and ponies and the elephants and other performers acquitted them selves with much credit yesterday and won deerved applause.
 The Gentry show Is always sure of a cordial welcome and a good business, be- cause 1t never disappoints and is so well known. Yesterdays performance was the last of the season and the show will at once go into winter quarters

ENDORSES VIEW
 TAKEN BY DIR. LULU
Grateful for Rockefellers Offer of Aid.

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 It Is exceedingly gratifyingyo read such a letter as you publish in todays issue of The Age-Herald over the signature of Cabot Lull, M. D.
 Such a letter appeals to the common sense of every reasonable man} and proves that Dr. Lull's heart and brain are in thorough harmony with each other.
 What matter it whence comes the source of succor to suffering fellow beings, so long as good is accomplished2 ? TO what better use could some of MT. Rockefeller's money be put than to aid those who are afflicted with disease? Dr. Lull very pertinently remarks. :. twill it make any difference to the poor little devil whose life's blood is being sucked by this lecherous thing. whether or not the means of relief comes through the tainted wealth of a robber oil king?" There is so much rubbish talked about tainted money, especially in con- nection with donations made by MT. Rockefeller, that one is led to believe that most of 1t is done for cheap noto- riety's sake.
 But one would hardly suppose that a man of Bishop Gamblers standing would indulge in criticisms of MT. RockefelleTs s act with any such motive. Yet, If Bishop Candler is correctly quoted there Is no foundation in the Christianity have been taught to war rant the views expressed by Bishop Cand- Ter
 Dr. Lull in the beginning of his letter generously describes Bishop Candler as the great and good Bishop Candler."
 If correctley quoted Bishop Candler cannot be very great or very good, for greatness" is never narrow-minded and goodness" Is never uncharitable.
 If I were obliged tomorrow to have my Christianity judged by my Creator 1 would take my chances with the kind expressed in Dr. Lull's letter of hu- manity.
 I say, more power" to men of Dr. Lull s stamp, and more breadth to men like Bishop Candler. Yours very truly,

|CHECKMATE PLAN IS ]! SPRUNG BY FRIENDS OF GREATER CITY Attorneys Have Already Laid
 The Points Before The Supreme Court ACTION AT THE CAPITAL WAS TAKEN ON SATURDAY King Says None of the Lawyers and Friends of the Measure Have
 Any Doubt As To the
 Outcome.

Greater Birmingham is not dead yet, for it's friends are still in the ring and will make a strenuous fight. In fact. they express little fear, and do not find anything in the attack which has been made on the bill to warrant alarm. Mayor OBrien, Secretary J. B. Babb, Represent ative Jere c. King and all the law yers who prepared and assisted in get ting the bill through are more than con- fident that it will hold in spite of the injunction which has been granted.
 The case took another interesting turn Saturday night when the friends of Great CT Birmingham became active. Through Attorneys Goodwin McIntire, Goodwin & Fillmore of Montgomery an applica- tion of the same kind, raising the two principal points was presented to Judge Armstead Brown of the Montgomery city court. Judge Brown overruled the petition was then taken to the supreme court and Judge Sayre denied the injunction. Then an appeal was taken on the denial, and made returnable to the chancery court of Birmingham
 The appeal was immediately put before the supreme court and a hearing Is ex- pected within two weeks. The case was son, citizen of Montgomery, who owns land in Ensley, and the city of Birming- ham Is. made a party to the bill.
 ''This," said Jere King yesterday, sim ply means that we will have fair hear ing and no nigger In the wood pile. We will have little trouble winning our point and can then have the injunction dis solved.
 % "None of the lawyers or Secretary Babb express any fear of the advertising tech nicality.
 "The constitution provides that the bill be advertised once a week for four con- secutive weeks, and this was complied with to the letter, although, in fact, the constitution provides that it is not neces- sary to advertise a bill for the extension of corporate bills at all. We advertised it as a precaution, simply.
 ''The charge that the joint resolution recalling the bill was not signed by the speaker and president has no bearing whatever. All the constitution requires is that the bill, as finally passed, be prop erly signed. Every precaution was placed around the bill in it's passage, and am convinced that it is all right.
 ''At any rate, the fight will be com pleted in the supreme court shortly, and all the issues will be fought out in time to hold the thing intact after January l."

good could be accomplished. And were the Rev. Brooks Lawrence to fold his tent and reutrn to Ohio no good could be ac- complished.
 The people of Alabama have done that thing of their own accord which the Rev. Brooks Lawrence could not male& &them do They have disassociated the amendment from everything. They are considering It as a little article of 81 words and of two sections. They are not going to vote against the amendment because Cover nor Conner has done this or that or be- cause he referred to the people as "cow- ardly skunks." They are not going to vote against the amendment because of that little plot down in Montgomery at which the scheme to deceive and defraud the people, at time when their poll taxes were not paid, was matched. They are not going to vote against the amendment because of a resentment which they hold to anything, any newspaper or any indi- vidual. It Is he who knows little of Alabamians who thinks otherwise.
 Why They Will Defeat 1t.
 The people intend to defeat the amend ment because they are naturally loathe to changing the constitution. That the people of this state do not readily change their constitution is borne out by his- tory.
 The people intend to defeat the amend ment because the addition of this article to the constitution will not add one iota of effectiveness to the laws of prohibition. ri prohibition laws ever enacted, and these laws either by the defeat or the apontion of the amendment will not be affected.
 The people intend to defeat the amend ment because constitutional prohibition has proved a miserable failure in every state in which it has been tried. The state with constitutional prohibition has never advanced in wealth, peace or nor altty. Maine, Kansas and South Dakota are examples.
 The people are going to defeat the amendment because they fear its effect. They have seen its leaders differ on the subject. They have heard Congressman Hobson deny that the issue is of moral nature, and have heard him state that the wording of both sections could have been improved. They have heard Senator Reese say in Maplesville that had he had the framing of the amendment In hand he would have eliminated all danger from the homes of the people.
 And there are other reasons why the de- feat is as certain to come as night is tc follow day. The people of the rural dis tricts have spoken.
 Nothing can change them The action of the governor will have no effect, it is believed, and the amenders might as well shut up their shop and seek other avoca- tions.
 A campaign of abuse has never scored success in Alabama and the people have never done that thing which they deemed unnecessary.
