the state Bank of Latlmer. which was

From the New York evening Sun.
The telephone is a capital test of the
reasonableness of a plan. If it can be
explained into a telephone and sound
plausible to your own ears, as well as
to the person at the other end, there is
very little chance of any one finding
anything against ii later on. A scheme
that one has the slightest doubt of should
never be telephoned. So often one takes
down the receiver full of enthusiasm and
suggests a thing, only to have it crumple
to impractical bits on ones very lips.
1t is narrowing and comes principally
from the person at the other end asking
you to repeat the part you had meant TO
hurry rather quickly over, and which
In talking could have been nicely SKINNED
with humble and vaguely explanatory
wave of the hand. But to have to repeat
1t three or four times in a loud voice.
with different infections, none of which
seem to counteract the effect of the words
themselves, why, it is such a cruel ex-
pose. One begins to think of the tele-
phone as a brutal thing incapable of
transmitting half shades, given to as
saulting anything but irrefutable facts
and not worthy to be trusted with a
charming, feasible, f1msy plan

FOUND STRONGER WORD
Little Mary Discovered That damn
Beat sDarnv

From the Louisville Times.
Little Mary, the 5-year-old daughter
of a prominent merchant of this city,
managed to pick up certain choice bits
of slang from the gardener. grocery
boy and iceman. In vain her mother
punished pleaded and exhorted her to
refrain from the use of certain words
that, to say the least, were offensive in
polite society.
One of Mary's favorite words which
she sprung upon any and all occasions
was darn" The word seemed. to have
a peculiar fascination for her and was
used to met any situation. Mary
fecsher, after trying every other method
to separate her little daughter from the
word. finally hit upon the idea of brib-
Ing her to stop its use.
Mary" she said one day. For every
week that you do not say the word
darn l will give you a half dollar to
use any way you please"
Mary's eyes bulged out with aston
ishment, but she set out to earn the re-
ward. She was doing we'll, having re-
ceived the promised reward at the end
of the first week, when she suddenly
discovered that so cents a week would
not go far toward treating her large
circle of friends.
Running to her mother one day, she
cried
''Oh, mamma, I've got a new word;
it's better than darn l just heard a
boy use 1t out on the street. It's

PROPOSED "ROADTOwN,

From the Kansas City Star.
Milo Hastings, formerly of Kansas. has
an article in the July number of Sue
cess Magazine on "Roadtown," a new
idea In town building. Instead of building
up town in blocks, it is to be built in a
long solid string of houses, two sides of
which have outside exposure BY using
the Edison idea of cement houses 1t is
figured the cost would be around $1,000
for a two-story, eight-room house A
width of p feet gives about $50 eight-room
houses to the mile; a width of 26 feet
would give about 200 houses to the mile.
In the subway under them all would be
railroads, telegraph and telephone lines,
mail tubes, sewers, etc. With a house
width of 26 feet there would be three
and two-tenths acres of ground within a
half mile of each house. "Roadtown''
extending from New York to Boston could
he built for $780, 100000, and would accom-
modate $4,000 people, which is about the
present population of Boston. The idea
of cooperation in all its phases could be
worked out In "Roadtown."

and the desks would have to be removed
from the hall of the popular house. The
present membership is S91. The House
could be kept at about Its present size
by increasing the ratio to 225,ooo. AT least
half a dozen states would each lose a
member. while Alabama would stand pat
on its present representation.
1t is impossible TO say what Will be
done when As states have to be consulted,
and for that matter 1t is Impossible 10

ton figures of any state VIII be- 1t is SAFE

COMRADES

By William Winter
At morning, when the march began
And Hopes strong eagle waved her
wing,
Through banks of flowers the pathway
ran,
Beneath the silver skies of Spring.
Our hearts were glad, our faces CAV.
We trod the slopes with careless Elee.
And through the hill-gaps, far away,
Hailed the blue splendor OF the sea.
We knew no peril, felt no fear,
Nor thought how swift the moments
pass;
The signing pines we did not hear,
Nor our own footsteps on the grass.
But day wears on and night is near.
Gray banners mingled with the gold.
Our ranks are thin, our faces drear.
The sky Is dark, the wind is cold.
We hear the moaning Of the waves,
OF that great sea toward which we
tend;
Our thoughts are in the wayside graves,
And on the solemn journeys end.
No more we hear the joyous cries,
Re-echoed from the vale and hill;
The light has faded from our eyes.
The music Of our youth y still

Truck Farming

THE farm movement which the Rir-
mingham Chamber of Commerce has Or
ganized is sure to produce good results,
provided the farm committee works sys-
tematically and exercises a reasonable
amount of patience" said an enterprising
and successful citizen
No county in the south is better adapt
ed to truck farming than Jefferson, and
IL has the exceptional advantage of hav-
Ing Birmingham as a market. Birming-
ham, rapidly growing, busy city, is a
vast consumer of all food products. In
vegetables alone 1t buys 100000 worth
year, and it is estimated that the VOL
ume of poultry, eggs, butter and vegeta-
bles handled in this market totals fully
$5,00G,000 a year, nearly all of which is
shipped from outside of Alabama.
1T will require some effort to induce
the first 20 families of northern truck
farmers to settle here under the Cham
Der of Commerce plan, but after that
it will be easy to get the very class of
new corners we desire. Today there are
only about 100 truckers in Jefferson coun-
ty. There should be a thousand or more.
We will have them in three years if the
Chamber of Commerce keeps up it's
work"

WORK, PLAY AND SUCCESS

From the washington rust
The dignified president of a bank in
Chicago, Mr.. Reynolds, who began his
business career as a messenger an
nounces as his rule of life. Make your
business your pleasure The inference
is that inward happiness and outward
success may be jointly attained by that
simple rule. Its giver seems to have
put his precept into practice, for it is
stated of him that he has never taken
a vacation, has never been Ill a day,
he smokes not, neither does he drink;
he knows no favorite author; he does
not play golf; he works nine hours a
day. What he does with the rest of his
time is left to inference. 1t is to be
hoped that 1t includes some leisure. and
that he transmits to others some of the
positive happiness that he finds in an
existence that he chooses to define in
terms chiefly of negation.
But 1t is hardly possible that every
one could achieve equal success by fol-
lowing Mr.. Reynolds rule. 1t is all
very well for the workman to sing at his
task, either literally or figuratively; but
usually he will require some other out
let for his joy as we'll as some other
intake for his exuberance. Every one
cannot become an admiral by polishing
the handle of the front door. This is
not at all to. depreciate the value of
patient industry in whatever sphere But
not all are gifted with a love for work
and none for play. To find pleasure and
satisfaction in ones work Is essential to
its proper performance, and 1t goes far
toward solving the problem of happiness.
But for most persons it is necessary to
find some enjoyment elsewhere than in
toll. monopoly of work is proverbialiy
bad for Jack, although this bank presi-
dent may have been the opposite of
dull as both boy and man. Take the
converse-would the man of leisure advise
others to make a business of pleasure?
There Is room in advice of this char
acter for vast difference of Individual
tastes. concerning which there can be
no argument.

SOME TALL sPRINTING.


Lew Dockstader, the minstrel man, tells
this anecdote:
Were all superstitious. Ever hear
the story of the two negroes who got into
an argument? One says to the other,
I'll bet you dollah that / got de nerve
to sit on a. tombstone in de graveyard
while de clock strikes midnight The bet
was made, but the other man had to go
along to see whether or not the condi-
lions were carried out. On the way to
the cemetery the second man fell and
broke his wooden leg. But he was so
anxious to win that dollar that he took
the peg off and hobbled along to the
cemetery, one hand on the other negro's
shoulder. They seated themselves on a
PROSTATE tombstone. DO / win that dol
lab, or do l not?' asked the man who
made the proposition, triumphantly.
Just then the clock in the church steeple
began to strike. From behind a bush
near by sheeted figure advanced upon
the negroes. 'Whahfoah are you all dis
tuhbin' nah rest?' it asked. The negro
that bet he wasn't afraid started for home
through narrow lane, bounded on either
side by tall hedges. About half way
down the lane the running negro heard
a pat-pat-pat Just behind him. He could
feel the hot breath of his pursuer on the
back of his neck. A hand reached out
ana touched MIN On the coat, ana ne just
doubled his speed. oh, nah goodness.
