To the School Children.

And so you are in school again?
 When you look back it does seem the vacation was short one. It was but the other day when you quit school and started in to have lot Of fun.
 You find it is pretty hard to get down to your books again of course.
 And you missed some picnics and frolics during vacation because of the chores and
 It is fine weather out of doors Why should any one have to pore over a sum in arithmetic or lesson in geography You would much rather go to the woods and kick up the dead leaves.
 The teacher is sometimes cross?
 That is what I want to talk about--that is. the teacher
 Did you ever stop to think that the va cation seemed short to the teacher too? And maybe some Of her vacation plans went wrong, like yours
 Don't you suppose teacher knows the weather Is fine? And would she not like to go to the woods?
 I. But she cannot get out of the school room either. She has somebody over her, just as you have somebody over you.
 And don't you think when you are tired teacher also may be tired?
 It is hard work to teach school. I have tried it and know The teacher wants you to get your lessons so that you will grow up to be good men and women. That's why--not because she Is boss. And when you fidget and will not study 1t worries her.
 Put yourself in the teachers place.
 What would you do-my, think of it If you had to look after all the boys and girls in your room? The is only one of her. and there are lot of you.
 And if you dread examination dayl so does she. You have only one set of papers to make out. She has doz-( ems on dozens to look over and mark ! sometimes when you are in bed
 Let me tell you: Outside of your father and mother you have no bet ter friend in the world than teacher, if you will let her be-
 She wants your life to be successful and will do all she can to make it so. And if she fails she will be very sorry and feel that she did not do her duty.
 Is that the way teacher feels?" you ask. Just that way
 And, let me tell you, some day when you are grown up. if you are good men and women. the teacher will be very proud of you all.
 And you will be glad that you were kind to her and tried to do what you could to please her.

YOUNG MAN HAS
 POCKET PICKED
Assisted Mother to Train on Louisville and Nashville and Missed Purse
 When He Returned to Shed.

s. A. Ausley of e105 Kate avenue was the victim of pickpocket early yes- terday afternoon on the Louisville and Nashville passenger train which leaves Birmingham at 12:30 o'clock MT. Ausley had assisted his mother into the train and was just leaving it when he discov- cred the loss of his pocketbook, which he carried in his left trousers pocket.
 officers had expected the arrival of a pickpocket on this train and were about the gates at the depot. Apparently this smooth artist did not get of in Bir- mingham, but continued on his way north MT. Ausley described a man who had stood next to him in the aisle and is sure he is the one who appropriated his pocketbook.
 The pocketbook was made of alligator skin, and contained $1S and small dia- mond wrapped in tissue paper. The de- scription of the man as given by Mfr. Ausley is middle aged, very heavy set. probably weighing over 200 pounds, smooth shaven. round, solid. being very compactly built and wore a dark suit"

 Also in this town all public utilities, as water, gas, electric lights, are absolutely free.
 Nelson O. Nelson pays the bill.
 But that is only the beginning of MT. Nelson's benefcence. Every employe in the &g factory shares in the profit of the business in proportion to his wages. From 1886 to 1904 these profits were distributed at the end of the year
 In 1904 dividends were temporarily sus- pended on account of slow business, but they were resumed next year with per cent interest on back dividends Beginning last year. MT. Nelson 2aid no salary whatever to himself. Lest some one should say Something in it for Nel-s son." the president remarked.
 Well, what has there been in it for Nelson?
 He has made a big fortune out of it. He says dividing profits with the man who works for you pays. You are in partnership with every worker.
 But
 MT. Nelson's idea is a bigger one than that of sharing profits for the sake of profits, big and beneficent as that idea is
 Here is his biggest thought:
 There is something better than money, as I see 1t, In business. It is the satis- faction of making business a service
 There is the heart of the mans high motive. Business rightly viewed is a dis tinct service rendered to humanity, as much as preaching-or more so Per sonally it is MT. Nelson's duty to serve his fellows.
 What If our captains of industry should all get that idea and feel that obliga ton?

HEART TO HEART TALKS
By EDWIN A. ME Copyright 1909, By American Press Association

speak or sing lest the echoes start an avalanche from it's delicate boise and bring destruction on the valley dwellers beneath
 It is like adding the proverbial straw that breaks the camel's back. Likewise There are people bearing heavy loads whose burdens become too great when a single word or tone Is added It needs but the slight addition to crush them down.
 Ever think of it? These people are fighting against odds The outcome Is in the balance. When you throw new pressure into the scales the burden sometimes becomes too great to be borne. For instance
 There is the wife and mother burning out her beauty over the cook stove, stoop- ing her fratl shoulders, wearing herself out on husband and children. She can stand all that. It is the woman's way to sacrifice for those she loves, even unto death.
 Be careful how you add to her tre- mendous burden that of the complaining word.
 And there is ths husband. He plods along at his task of filling other mouths besides his own. He Is the poorest dressed of all the family And when the others go on a vacation he stays at home.
 He is glad to do it. He asks no better fate than to work for his own. But
 If when he has done his best. there is the added burden of dissatisfaction it breaks the old mans heart
 In a lesser degree the same is true of the employe who is faithful and does his best to please. He expects his pay en- velope Saturday. of course, put he ex- poets more than that. And he deserves more. He deserves word of praise. Speak 1t and his burden lightens; with , hold it and the load grows heavy. Why is it that our human nature is so quick to blame and so slow to praise?
 The word of censure springs naturally to the tongue. The word of cheer sticks in the throat. When we ought to keep still we are all too ready to speak. When we ought to speak we are dumb.
 Praise is the cheapest thing in the world and the scarcest.
 Paradoxcal as it may seem, praise costs nothing, and yet it Is beyond all price. The value of words of cheer to the heavy laden soul Is incalculable.
 Therefore cheeri
 Be careful lest you add to the weight of care and duty and anxiety and sorrow the last final pressure that shall crush out a soul

A warning to political malcontents Of his domination was conveyed by the Gaekwar of Raroda in a recent pronun- eiato delivered by him at his capital The Gaekwar with his wife, visited the United States several years ago, and while quartered at the Woldorf-Astoria in New York. commented upon American women who had come under their obser- vation.
 The petty sovereign discussed the late Indian political assassination in London and expressed his hope that the good sense of the people would render repres- sion unnecessary"
 Education was partly responsible for the political unrest. the Gaekwar told his dusky adherents, but discontent was not necessarily an evil; education had broad ened mems minds and increased their as- pirations. But if the unrest had shown itself in the form of sedition and anarchy that was not due to education, but to the absence of education, he pointed out, it was the governments obvious duty to stamp out sedition.

hand was made by MT. Oliver McEwan, in a lecture at the British Schools of Commerce yesterday.
 He traced the evolution of shorthand from the time of Tyro. Cicero's freed man-who invented the first known sys- tenn about the year 50 B. Cup to the close of the 18th century, when Byrum published his improvement on all pre- cedng systems.
 St Luke, in all probability wrote Tyro's shorthand or some modification of it." MT. McEwan declared. He suggest ed that by it's means the evangelist put on record the actual words of Jesus Christ and of the Apostles.
 This" the lecturer continued, may explain the circumstantial character of St. Luke's Gospel, as well as of the Acts of the Apostles. commonly attributed to St. Luke"

The Sorrows of Youth.

James Davis. wyoming youth of P, tried to commit suicide.
 And this was the reason:
 He was disappointed because he was not able to take his sweetheart to Cheyenne on frontier day. to see Laramie Pete and the other broncho busters ride the bucking ponies Frontier day in Wyom- ing is a great day.
 And is that all the reason?
 Certainly.
 We who are older forget that the sor- rows of youth are bitter sorrows. If you will go back to your boyhood or girlhood days you will realize that the keenest disappointments you ever knew were suf- fered then.
 Matters that now are trifies light as air at IS or 20 or 22 were tragedies. One days anticipated pleasure spoiled made life seem stale, fiat and improbable. Can you not remember when your birthday cele- bration, ruined by weather, blackened the whole sky for you?
 In those days you were self centered. You expected all things to revolve about you and yours.
 Tell boy oe IS he cannot come into his own until he is 21-the three years ahead of him will stretch in his imagina- ton into 30. Tell maiden of IS she cannot marry her sweetheart for three years-it will seem eternity before that time comes.
 So the poor Wyoming chap couldn't see a day in front ot his nose.
 Disappointed in one days doings, from his point of view life was a failure.
 If he lives to be 32 he will smile at such a handicap; at 52 he will laugh in the face of 1t, because he knows that soon or late he will get what is coming to him.
 But at 22-ah that's different! There is no background of experience to relieve the miserable picture of loss.
 It is easy for us who are older to re- fleet that nothing matters in the long run: that pain and sorrow endure but for the night, while joy cometh in the morning.
 But that is the philosophy of age
 Therefore be patient with the boy and girl.
 Their sorrows are actual sorrows. It requires time for one to adjust his life to hard world conditions. Being mold ed to type is a painful process.
 Remember your youth and be char itable.
