WHEN THE GOOD MAN AW0KE
WeIi-Meant Efforts Of the Samaritan
Rewarded with the Retort Al
cohoiic

II was Sunday morning-one OF
those brightly washed days following
a spell of rain and murk. The avenue
was streaming with beautifully
gowned women, with an occasional
man sprinkled in who was amiable
enough to don a froek coat and go to
church with his wife.
In sharp contrast to the sprightly
scene was a much disheveled person
reclining more or less peacefully upon
the brown stone steps of a million
aires residence. A most unsavory
disciple of Bacchus he was, his atti-
tude and complexion plainly remin-
iscent of hilarity recently past. His
legs extended straight out across the
pavement, and the passing throng
carefully curved outward at this point,
adapting itself indifferently to the
necessities of the case.

mien and some severity of counten-
ance passed along, evidently on her
way churchward When she came to
the feet she paused, following slowly
with her gaze the path of classic out
line beginning with those same feet
and ending with a thatch of disturbed
hair crowned with a battered derby.
Here was a case requiring immediate
attention. With worthy zeal she bent
and touched the Grant knight upon
the shoulder. few passersby glanced
with skeptical interest over their
shoulders and a few others halted
with determination to watch de-
yelopments.

tan, and paused hopefully. The good
man remained peacefully unrespon-

lady and shove from a bystander at
his elbow.

Slowly, slowly, the eye grew wider.
The only reason its mate did not ac-

Good OF School Clinics,

In an article strongly supporting
medical inspection aud treatment of
public school children, the Lancet
says that Pupils have become the
property OF the nation, the nation has
acquired "A right to protect them from
the carelessness OF ignorance of their
parents" The Lancet says: THE ex.
perience of Germany seems TO lean
to the Institution of school clinics
as the most economical and CON
venient arrangement for securing the
medical attention that is required in
towns; and it is manifest that such
clinics could be easily established in
every large town, placed so as to be
convenient and accessible from groups
of schools, and Differed by two or
three or more of the neighboring gen.

ELIOT'S VISIT AN
 IMPORTANT EVENT
PRESIDENT OF HARVARD WILL DELIVER ADDRESS AND WILL PAY A VISIT TO UNIVERSITY OF ALABAMA.

Dr. J. H. Phillips, superintendent of the Birminhgam public schools, is arrang- ing a programme for the visit of Dr. Charles W. Eliot, president of Harvard university, who will arrive in Birming- ham early in March.
 The programme will be one in which Dr. Eliot will be the principal speaker. but it will be arranged so that prominent men of Birmingham will be participants in one way or another. It is the intention of Dr. Phillips to make the visit of Dr. Eliot one of the greatest occasions in Birming- hams educational history.
 It has been announced, too, that pr. Eliot will pay visit to the University of Alabama from Birmingham. In Tusca- 1oosa Dr. Eliot will be the guest of Pres ident John w. Abercrombie. It is very probable that Dr. Eliot will be the guest of honor at a banquet of the business men of Tuscaloosa, although the details of this programme have not been set out as yet.

These rooms will be on the second floor, i'm mediately over the entrance to the building, on the First avenue side, and will consist of rooms 206 to 210 in elusive. The last three will be thrown into one, making a hall of about 570 square feet. Here it is proposed that the members of the exchange may erect permanent displays of the goods they have to sell. In this way it is pointed out hardwood finish fancy pressed brick art glass, mantels, and indeed almost every line of building material, may be exhibited to great advantage This apartment will be fur nished for the reading room of the or ganization.
 Rooms 2O6 and POT will be the sec tarys office and the private committee room, which will also be used as writing or consultation room.
 It has been suggested that the tables, chairs and other furniture of the read ing and consultation rooms be made of yellow pine and be manufactured by local members of the exchange. It is maintained that this would be appro- priate, as Birmingham is rapidly be- coming a great yellow pine market. The secretarys office furniture will be of quartered oak and will be- as far as possible, manufactured in Birmingham.
 One of the features of the exchange will be the "Change hour at which time it will be the custom of the mem bers to gather at the exchange rooms.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
Avoiding Auto Accidents.

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 Replying to a communication in your valuable paper a few days ago relative to reckless driving by automobilists. desire to say that owing to the careless ness of many mothers the mortality among children from auto accidents would be far greater than 1t Is were it not for the extreme care exercised by the machine drivers.
 Relative to the episode of New Year, referred to by the lady in question, per- init me to say that I am the reckless driver alluded to and that upon seeing the child dart from the pavement to the road way I brought my machine to a com plete standstill and again started up. turning the corner before the lady had noticed the peril to which her child had been exposed, notwithstanding the fact that 1 had been blowing my horn for a half a block unoeasingly.
 Her remarks of me were anything but complimentary, but I contented myself with the knowledge that my care had been the means of averting an accident to her child. J. T.. COOPER

CHILD VICTIM OF
 HYDROPHOB|A Little Girl At Pratt City Suffers
 Awful Death DEVELOPED VERY QUICKLY Had Never Complained of Being Bit ten and It Has Been Impossible to Locate the Source of
 Infection.
DEVELOPED VERY QUICKLY

Death claimed little Gertie Marcomb of Pratt City at 11lO o'clock last night as victim of an attack of hydrophobia. The manner in which she became inocu- lated with the dread malady is mystery to the family.
 The little girl was the 11-year-old daughter of MT. and Mrs W. M Mar comb and resided with her parents on First avenue near the Pratt City bank. She attended the Pratt City public school and was in the high fourth grade.
 She attended school Monday and Tues day and was apparently in the best of health. On Wednesday she complained or pain in her hand which gradually extended to her elbow, then to the shoul- der and finally reached the breast. She did not become very i'll until Friday morning. physician was summoned and shortly afterwards three others were called in for consultation.
 Yesterday morning they declared the child to be affected with hydrophobia and proceeded to treat her for this. She had several spasms and suffered in- tense agony, and gradually sunk lower and lower. She became easier early in the night and hopes were held out for her recovery, but 1t was simply the quiet calm preceding death. Her spirits re- vived. she became very happy and was singing when death quietly took her with a smile upon her lips.
 The child was popular among her play mates, and was an earnest little worker in the Pratt City Presbyterian Sunday school. Funeral services will be held at the residence this afternoon.
 There were no scratches or marks upon the little girl showing where she might have been bitten nor had she complained of having been bitten by a dog or other animal. It has been impossible to locate the source of infection.

Everything was extremely quiet about the courthouse yesterday. In the three divisions of the city court the dockets for the week were finished up on Friday aft ernoon, hence there was no court yester day. In the first division of the criminal court there was no docket set, while in the chancery court only demurrers were given hearing yesterday. Judge Lane and Judge Coleman both held court in the circuit court yesterday morning, but both finished their work before the noon hour. Judge Lane completed the hearing of the case of Doc Chatham vs. Birmingham Southern Railroad company, the jury re- turning a verdict for the defendant. In Judge Coleman's division of the circuit court the case of Addie Swann pro ami vs c. D.

saddled on Tennessee it's success may be attributed to the killing of Senator carmack. While the death of the senator was in no wise connected with the sale of whisky, the idea that it was, in some remote way, an outcome of the fight that Carmack was making against the sale of whisky has got firm hold. This state- ment is one of the slogans of the prohi- bitionists They have killed our leader they cry.
 To predict how the fight will termi- nate is, of course, impossible The oppo- nents of prohibition are among the most prominent and brainy men of Tennessee. However, the wave has been Irresistible elsewhere, and it is my individual belief that prohibition will win after ceding cer- tain rights to the big cities, Memphis, Nashville and probably Chattanooga. If these cities are allowed to continue the sale Of whisky in saloons highly licensed and well regulated, 1t is probable that prohibition would not prove such a dis advantage to Tennessee and in certain respects would serve a great purpose"
