A LITTLE INCIDENT
ON STREET CORNER

Standing on the corner of one of the
busiest thoroughfares in Birmingham
was an elderly woman of slight build and
feeble aspect Her rusty, black, we'll
worn dress and bonnet sadly out Of date
gave evidence of her poverty. Her gen
eral appearance was pathetic. She was
evidently a stranger to the city and the
din and hustle of the much Travelled
streets bewildered her. The old woman
essaved to cross the street several times
hut the rush of the speedy autos and
changing cars as they passed and repassed
was too much for her and she drew back
to the sidewalk.
Thoughtless youth and busy business
men passed her with scarcely a glance,
notwithstanding the appeal of her fright
ened eyes. Finally a gentleman, we'll
advanced in years, faultlessly dressed,
evidently one of the old school, came
along. He glanced at the little worn out,
dropping figure as he passed and read
the appeal In her eyes. Respectfully in
curing. and learning the cause of her
distress. he gave tho little woman his
arm with as much gallantry as though
she were a queen and safely plotted her
across the busy street AS she expressed
her gratitude for the kindness he raised
his hat with knightly courtesy, and,
bowling, resumed his walk
1t was not much to do, but the kindly,
courteous manner in which 1t was done
bespoke a true gentleman, and gave evil
dence of that chlvalry that hae always
been a distinguishing characteristic of
southern life.

WHY THIS ONE WOMAN
REMEMBERED GAME

IT was at a baseball game, and we'll
known player and a baby sparrow acted
leading roles, although their names did
not appear in Just those parts on the pro-
gramme.
The ninth inning was on, and the Bar
ons were finding it hard to hold narrow
lead. when the little bird, uncertain OF
wing. futtered upon the grass near sec
ond bag.
It hopped dangerously near a baserun-
ner who was plainly Disconnected.
From a little corner in the grandstand
interest centered in the puff of feathers,
and the mother bird, lowering just above,
called loudly to her inperilled baby!
When the outfielders came running in to
the bench one Of the little crowd in the
grandstand called OUT
Look out for the bird!'
The Hedging, frightened by approaching
footsteps, made a gallant effort to rise,
looking pitifully up at it's anxious mother.
But with gentle sweep OF his right
hand the trotting right fielder caught the
little bird and tucked It gently In his
shirt. -
Who ever said that a ball player had
no heart?
The little bunch of six in the grandstand
clapped a Joyful reward to the kind
hearted player, and during the rest OF
the inning the fielder could be seen strok-
ing and soothing the frightened ball of
fluff
And when dying cushions and hurried
footsteps marked the end of the contest
a hand as gentle as it had been skillful
tucked the baby bird in a safe corner
away from harm and hurt.
And that is why one woman remem-
hered the game.

maledictions into a nearby refuse re-
ceptacle. Two men who sat on OPP
posite sides of the table were engaged
in breathing from smoke sticks of
black substance and in taking record
of the number of maledictions the big
voiced man heaped upon each slip.
Other men with facial expressions
equally strained stood about the table
and heard with evident satisfaction and
without show of emotion the exercra-
lions of the big-voiced man. They
also breathed from black smokesticks
and emitted clouds of foul-smelling in
cense, undoubtedly for the purpose of
driving away the evil spirits of the
slips.
The performance, which was attend
ed with much solemnity, was evidently
designed as means of Precipitation of
the gods. some great matter of state
evidently having come up.

THIS LITTLE DOG
FAITHFUL TO DEATH

Hardly a man noticed the little dog
as he ran along with the dinner pail
hanging from his teeth, for as far back
as the Oldest inhabitant could recall the
had performed this duty
But when he came to the mouth of
the mine the foreman of the outside lifted
him gently into the carriage and lowered
him into the bowels of the earth.
The dinner was eaten. and the pail
had been restored to the mouth of the
faithful little creature, when the crash
came-sounding as the collapse of the
structural walls of heaven and earth.
When the rescuers, begrimed and sweat
ing under their iabors. came to the re-
mains of the little animal. sad smiles
broke about their faces. Perhaps tear
glistened in the eye of this one, while
the other spoke a word of praise. Then
shoveled aside. the charred body lay. and
into the public print came no story OF
his find. But few men die as this little
dog-faithful, even unto death.

Today in Memphis Manager Jordan an
neunced that the can was due as an at

That Mayer would go had been ex-
pected. but the demise of Seitz was not
such a sure bet. He and DeHaven had
been fighting 1t out, but recently De-
Haven had found the ball and applied
the wood to It. The answer then became
easy. Mayer goes to San Antonio, Tex.
and Seitz probably returns to the Vir-
