ADRIFT WITH THE TIMES
IN LOWLY WALKS.

 He fought his battles bravely
 And always wore a smile,
 No matter what the task in hand,
 He made it worth his while
 And got more joy from living
 Than scores of millionaires Who never draw a peaceful breath, They have so many cares.
 His home was just a cottage, But rich in happiness,
 Although 'tis true old Trouble Oft came to his address; And Sorrow was a visitor Who knocked upon his door, And seemed as one who knew her Way And had been there before. But so much love and cheerfulness Bloomed in that small abode. And so much faith in dreams true Did tighten every load,
 The years slipped by on golden wings, Life's tranquil vale along, And Trouble fell a-dancing to The heart-beats of a song!

Col. Theodore Roosevelt

"The return from Elba" programme will not be formally announced until aftar the ex-President and Editor Ronfis Of the Denver Post have con- fer-ed at Khartoum whither the lat ter is now journeying. Colonel Roose- welt bao expected to recross the At 1antio in returning home. but MT. Ronf1s, purpose is to induce him, If rossible. to change his sailing plans and come back by the Pacific route and land at San Francisco so as to have T triumphal tour across the con- tinent. That was the way General Grant returned after his foreign tour of two and a half years, preparatory to tho launching of his third term movement.
 co1one1 Roosevelt has emerged from the wilds of Africa and is now moving along the Nile. He will presently in- spect the capitals of Europe. deliver lectures in England, and be received in private audience by the principal crowned heads. He and the Emperor William are much alike in tempera- ment. They greatly admire each oth- ar and the meeting between them will he rnfeienedly cordial and of ex- oeptjona, interest. The etiquette of the German imperial court is extremely stie hut from all accounts William himself is full of the comrade spirit and il may be taken as matter of course that he will waivo official for ,,a1itv in sh owing hospitality to his American counterpart. In other words, William and Theodore will have a jolly good time together.
 Those who are old enough to recall General Grants ovation abroad will watch eagerly Colonel Roosevelts nnov ements and make comparison While our strenuous ex-President heads the Smithsonian expedition in Africa he is without official status General Grant, having retired from the Tinted States army in order to as- sun1e tho duties of president, was with out rank or official standing at the time he r.o med his famous tour after the House; but by a special act of Congress he was permitted to wear the uniform and Insignia of a full general of the army and be presented at court as of the rank of general. As he was a military hero, that courtesy seemed altogether fitting But in the case of Colonel ROOSeVelI Ho VIII pe iS5 di uOo by monarchs and the foreign popu- lace chiefly as potential civilian leader--a man who had distinguished himself by yielding the big stick and ignoring the conventions of statecraft While Grant came nearer than an. oth 1T President to being nominated for third term, third termism al an idea was by no means new in hi case.

opera, Eugene Onegin." The Birming- ham Oratorio society. which is to sing the chorus numbers. began to rehearse this opera last Friday night. Prof. Fred L. Grambs, the musical director, said:
 ''We had a splendid first try rehearsal There are seven choruses in all and we got through the first of them. It was not difficult and every member of the chorus was delighted with the music. In fact, l never saw singers more enthu- siastic. We will have two full rehearsals a week-Tuesdays and Fridays-and one part rehearsal for ladies on an afternoon, the day to be announced later.
 'The festival management is supplying the ladies with street car tickets, which the ladies appreciate very much.
 q think it is safe to say that the Eugene Onegin' music will be voted the most popular ever sung at a festival here''

THE POLAR QUEST,

By Richard Burton. Unconquerably men venture on the quest And seek an ocean amplitude unsailed, Cold, virgin, awful. Scorning ease and
 rest
 And needless of the heroes who have
 failed, They face the ice foes with a dauntless
 Zest. The polar quest! Life's offer to the
 strong.
 To pass beyond the pale, to do and dare, Leaving a name that stirs us like a song And making captive some strange otherwhere, Though grim the conquest and the labor long. Forever courage kindles. faith moves forth To find the mystic fioodway of the north.

saddle again. So 1t is in Alabama at the present time. The conservative people are aroused and there will be no radical elected to any of the important offices in this coming primary.
 Some good men on the same side of the general, dominant issue are scrapping bly, Senator Bankhead and Mir. John B. Knox, two of the ablest men in Alabama, The contest between them promises to be the most interesting Alabama has had in long time.
 Of course, it goes without saying that Emmet oNeal, solely representing the dominant issue in the gubernatorial cam paign, will be elected, regardless of the fact that his opponent is personally one of the extremely popular men in the state.
 But with all the political agitation there is an upbuilding spirit and a developing spirit which is dominant throughout the entire state and particularly in Birming- ham and the Birmingham district. The people here are becoming more generous, more cultivated and getting closer to- gether and working more in harmony. For instance, I am told that 5000 volumes were taken from the Birmingham Public some new country club and golf links are to be built immediately upon large estate just beyond East Lake; the pro- posed cheap extension to the county courthouse has been abandoned, and the matter of building a magnificent large

From the New York Press.

 Some men are so lucky that when an umbrella is stolen from them they get a chance to steal a better one.

 A 25-foot lot sold in Birmingham last week for $6000o, equivalent to $240O per front foot. The lot was on Third avenue, in the business section, and was inn proved.

A WELL-KNOWN candidate for the | "A legislature from Jefferson county A in conversation with one of his friends supposed to be possessed of a bit of political acumen, asked the question:
 'tDo you think an unpopular man can be elected to the legislature on the cor rect platform?'
 The reply was, ''Yes; the people will not vote this time for the personally pop ular ones, but will vote for men who rep resent the principles calculated to build up and develop the communities and the state."
 The spirit of the people of Birmingham and of the entire state is concentrated upon issues in the pending election and not upon the personalities. The people of Alabama are determined to entirely overthrow the radical regime which has been dominant in this state for the past vote for men who will go to the legisla- ture with the spirit of upbuilding-a spirit of development and spirit of en- couragement to capital desirous of invest ing in the great state of Alabama. ~
