AN EXPERIMENT
 AND ITS RESULT

"The power of the imagination as shown by experience and observation" said E. D. Thornton. lis subject which has caused a good deal of discussion of late, and is always interesting to me. An exhaustive treatise I once read in magazine on the subject made the claim that that which Is ordinarily known as love-, ties of kindred excepted, is but the result of continued concentration of the imaginative faculty by person who wishes to make himself believe that he is inordinately fond of someone of the op- posite sex. This '-oluntary delusion, 1t was explained is courted by that person involuntarily In other words to satisfy a something which he imagines causes a continual craving within him, he is willing to delude himself. and by the gradual work of the imaginative faculty actually comes to regard that delusion as an inexplicable reality.
 q speak of love not from any re- cent experience of my own, but because of an unusual case of the fatal weak ness which has come under my observa- ton. There was a young man of my acquaintance who accepted the theory promulgated in the magazine article l speak of, and to satisfy himself of its soundness began to experiment with his power of concentration of the imagina- tive faculty on very charming young lady of his acquaintance. That young man will not resent my saying that he is now married to that very object of his experiment, for that young man is my self"

PERFECT DECORUM
 OF SAD RECEPTION

That which most impressed me this beautiful Sunday was the democracy, the perfect decorum of the reception accorded Mayor Frank P. O'Brien's doy,'' said Percy Clark.
 q noted the procession of the Knights of Columbus to the station, and I particularly noticed the saluta- tion of tipping their hats by all the knights as they passed Saint Paul's church on thier march from the hall to the Terminal station.
 "Although the train was 20 minutes late the great throng waited patient ly and with solemn quiet the coming of all that Is mortal of that friend, public man, Confederate veteran and citizen, Capt. Frank P. O'Brien."
 "The procession was formed In the shed, after friends from every walk in life had done their part in receiv- ing the members of the family of the deceased and the casket had been re- moved from the splendid cedar brass barred case. When the hearse start ed with the police escort leading the way and attending on ether side the great throng moved sadly and respect fully with 1t.
 "The air had an autumn ozone in 1t of softness and sadness: and even in his earthly home for his last night with loving hearts and loyal friends keeping the yigils."

OPPOSES SALE OF
 MUNICIPAL PLANTS

"The thing that interested me most during the day has been the fight to prevent the sale of the North Bir- mingham water and light plant" said John B. Bethea yesterday afternoon. There Is no good argument for the sale as the plant is making the city profit of several thousand dol lars yearly.
 "It is argued by those In favor of the sale that 1t would be unfair to enable the citizens of North Birming ham to get water at cheaper rates than Is afforded the people of Bir- mingham. This argument Is ridiculous on the face of 1t and needs no re- futal.
 q have been much interested in the reports of the fight being made against the sale by Aldermen Morgan and Perdue. They are on the side of the people, and I am sure that they will win"

What Has Interested
 You Most During Day?"
Some of the Replies Made By Well Known Citizens When
 Asked This Question Yesterday

but I have never witnessed such a large crowd paying such an unique tribute. estimate that at least 5000 persons were gathered here this afternoon. A certain awe seemed to be present with the throngs, for many times hush would fall upon them and out of respect for the occasion I suppose they were stilled.
 "The crowd was orderly and not an un- toward incident marked the arrival here of the remains of the late Mayor. I was very much pleased that the crowd was so perfect in it's demeanor. I admired Cap tain O Brien very much, indeed and join with the hundreds and thousands.who mourn his death"

until then was the top removed Mayor Harry Jones, Secretary Scudder Ryall. City Clerk H. E. Shropshire and the al- dermen were grouped around the casket, and caught the first glimpse of their chief.
 The features were well preserved, though they show the result of the nerv- ous strain from which he has suffered. The fine forehead and the masterful brow seemed even more prominent than in life. Slowly the procession of policemen, friends and neighbors passed through, and then two officers were placed on guard, and the privacy of the home left to the stricken family.
 Mrs Oscar R. Hundley and D. G. Chandler arrived with the body and were met by Dr. John Davis, who hur- ried them home in carriage. Judge Oscar R. Hundley did not reach Bir- mingham until 10 o'clock last night, as he was left in Washington when he went to attend to the transfer of the casket from the Pennsylvania line to the South ern. The Pullman portor closed the yestibule as the train pulled out, and he was unable to board.
