ADRIFT WITH THE TIMES

THE WAY WITH PEOPLE. His hopeful mien caused wide remark, His neighbors said, Now, here We have a man nor care nor cark Can quite deprive of cheer. "A fine example fitly set By one whose heart is brave; And one who harbors no regret For things he cannot have" They praised him thus in glowing terms, Extolled his beaming face, The constant index that confirms A mans true inward case.
  At last they asked him would he nope, Or condescend to cuss: They'd found that changeless smile of hope
 bit monotonous

AN APT QUESTION
a- From Norman E. Macks National


 Monthly for November.
 The teacher had a class in English llt- erature before her. The subject for the day was "Gray's Elegy." She had asked the class to bring in questions on the life of Gray. These questions were to be deposited in a box which was to be opened before the class, and each question read aloud. If no one could answer it the one who contributed 1t was to be called on for the answer.
 The first slip drawn out contained this
 Give a proof of Gray's generosity"
 The teacher thought of what re- cluse Gray had been, and of how little interest he had ever shown in his fellows, and she wondered how any one could have received the impression that he was generous
 Every one looked blank, and no one at- tempted to answer. The girl who wrote the question was called on for her proof and this is what she said: "He gave to misery all he had-a tear.''

IN HOTEL HOBBIES
Urgent Need for Hotel

I
 That Birmingham is too large not to have fine hotel such as Chattanooga and that until Birmingham does build a hotel the city will be handicapped was the ex- pression of T. B. Lee here yesterday. who
 Is one of the most widely known travelling men that comes to Birmingham. Birmingham is getting to be entirely too large." said MT Lee, ito neglect the hotel matter any longer. The city has recently been given advertising from the census returns which no money could se- cure. Thousands of persons have their eyes upon Birmingham, and are submit ting the city to severe scrutiny But when 1t comes to getting place to sleep and eat this town is really the limit. Knoxville. Chattanooga, Augusta, Ga, and many other smaller towns have Bir- mingham beaten very badly on hotel ac- commodations. why, l heard number of the railroad chief engineers say while they were in the city that Birmingham was the last place to look to for hotels It is true they mar yelled and appreciated the hospitality of the city and it's people But they did not Tall to note the hotel situation. Those men are accustomed to the very best of hotel fare.
 Birmingham, am sure, will soon rec ognize the importance of a fine new hotel There are hundreds of us travelling men who never fail to talk of Birmingham when on the road. We can do good or we can do harm. There should be no reason for the travelling men to talk about the bad hotel situation here.
 This city is one of the best in America. don't care how you measure greatness. And 1t Is really a reflection upon the best people of Birmingham that no better hotel is afforded by the city. l have been coming here for years, and with all your matchless progress fail to see where the hotel situation has measured up to the other accomplishments of this wonderful city.

Memphi, and the Census

'I am curious to see the census report on Memphis population said B. " Charlton of St. Louis. Memphis is a solid town and I have watched It's steady growth during the past 90 years; but it has not the population that was claimed for it. When I was there early in the present year I heard prominent citizens say that Memphis would show in the census with 100000. I was there again while the census was being taken, and heard it admitted that the census of 1900 was considerably padded; and when I was i'll Memphis last month the fear seemed to be that the population figures would be less than Birmingham's s There was considerable padding in this census out west, but the census director is making it hot for cheats, and one may safely bet that there will be little ol no effort to pad in 1s20'

Impressions of Alabama

q have never been farther south than Nashville until recently, when I visited Georgia" said B. M. Bushong of Vir- ginia, who is registered at the Colonial. T spent several days in Georgia and from that state came to Alabama
 q find Birmingham a busy. bustling city. It is a much larger city than I imagined it was and it is far more metro politan than in appearance than had expected. It is a splendid city and is destined to become one of the largest cities in the United States.
 q have now been in Alabama several days and have seen something of the northern part of the state. Every coun- ty I have visited looks prosperous and the city next to Birmingham that has impressed me most favorably is Gads- den. I have never seen in any city in this country of Gadsden's size such a city seems highly prosperous and there is good reason to think 1t will continue to grow fast
 q have met northern people In my travels who said they were just begin ming to realize that the south is in many respects the most inviting section of the country for investment. The tide of population is certainly turning this way. With Alabama's wonderful mineral re- sources, and the progress that is being made in diversified agriculture in 10 years, this should be the richest state IT the whole south."

New York and Ohio


 Tt looks to me as if the supporters of Stimson in New York were panicky." said L. P. Holdsworth of Cleveland, Ohio. "I was in several upstate towns last week, and republicans told me that Dix was as good as elected governor. am not pol itician; have had no political experience, but l am democrat and have voted at every presidential election since 1880; but from all could see In New York and all I can hear and see in Ohio. the democrats are going to. be victorious In those two states next Tuesday. I think it is a good bet that the democrats will carry New York by 75,OoO majority. The Empire State has large independent vote, and thousands of stauneh republicans are go- ing to vote for the democrat this time. It is thought that Ohio will go democratic by safe majority, but we will have no such landslide as they will have in New York. If the democrats sweep the coun- try next week 1t should be easy to repeat in 1912 the landslide victory of 1892"

 The first of the four brilliant concerts to be given here at the Jefferson theatre under the auspices of Miss John A. cathey of Memphis is announced for next Tuesday night.

 Miss Cathey has sold large number o1 season tickets and 1t is safe to predict a large house. Birmingham grows more appreciative of high-class artists every year. and judging from the advance sale there will be few if any vacant seats next Tuesday
