Oriental Love.

1t has been said many time and
oft that Oriental women have not
been honored and loved enough. 1t is
impossible for US to understand the
heart and soul of races totally differ
ent In most respects from ours. AL
though they never do show it in the
presence of third person. Orientals
love their women much indeed. Love
by them is not shown publicly by soft
words or kisses, pats and hugs. They
are often called "henpecked," be-
cause they are SO under the influence
of their women. Love is the food OF
the Oriental soul. A few Of the Amer.
lean women think they will love juRt
so long as they are loved, and the
consequences show plenty in the
divorce courts. Such Independent
spirit in love matters, such profit and
loss and happy-go-lucky marriage
ways strike an Oriental as gross, In
nate hopeless materialism, or else are
utterly unintelligible to him.

For Halloween.

From the voluminous correspondence
which has poured into the office re-
garding Halloween" 1t would seem
that every reader, old and young, rich
or poor, intended to celebrate on this
most fascinating festival day. Madame
Merri sincerely hopes that there has
been something in the departments to
suit the needs of all.
Here is very simple method of de-
termining ones future partner in life.
1t is called the yarn" test:
At the stroke of midnight the girls
must all go upstairs, the men remain
ing in the hall below. Then each maid
In turn drops a ball of light yarn over
the banisters. OF course, she must
hold tightly to one end of the yarn and
remain unseen when she throws Il
down.
The men scramble for the ball, and
the one who gets it, when the yarn Is
drawn taut by the girl above, must re
ply by giving his true name when the
unseen holder says who holds?"
If he recognizes her voice, so much
in their favor; If the girl drops the end
she holds, she will remain unmarried
If the yarn breaks she will not marry
any of the men present on this occa
sion.
This test is always sure to provide
happy ending to the party. and it i.
also means of pairing the guests fol
refreshments or for any game where Il
Is necessary to choose partners.

from which to draw by consulting
Shakespeare or Burns. A few apt SEN

Fortune is merry,

There swims no goose so gray
But soon or date
She finds some honest gander
For her mate.

And the owls boot,
And bats fly in and out,
When the fire burns blue,

before the work is completed.
Business in coal circles is excep-
tionally brisk" said Mr.. Garnsey. 1--WE
have a great many orders on hand now
which are demanding quite a little
thought and extensive operations to
handle. However we do not anticipate
that any of the many companies here
will find any great trouble in filing
their orders. We are operating all of
our mines with regularity and have
a great many more men employed now
than at any time in the past few
months.

WILCOX TALKS ON
WINTERS BUSINESS

q e. T. Wilcox. assistant general freight
agent for the Frisco system was in Bir-
mingham yesterday on private business.
He stated that the car shortage which
has been felt in some circles has been
decreased to a very great extent and that
the railroads are starting out on winter
business in fine condition.
I'VE believe the railroads will be more
than competent to handle all the business
that develops this season. said Mr.. Will
cox. The indications point strongly to
an active season. Birmingham has been
holding up fine on freight movements
during the summer and at this time ship
ments continue to be extremely brisk on
the Frisco. There was some slight short
age of cars noticeable several days ago.
However. this has been cleared up and we
are now In healthy condition
