From the Chicago Tribune.
 Alderman John J. Coughlin, poet lau- reate of the city council. has mounted his faithful Pegasus once more after several months silence. His latest liter ary effort is a hymn entitled Father D It was written for the Rev. w. E. Bar ton, pastor of the First Congregational church of Oak Park. The alderman says it is the best thing that ever came from his pen He put his whole soul into it. He will be grievousy disappointed if the Rev NIT. Barton does not have the words set to music.
 Two weeks ago the Rev. MT. Barton announced in his pulpit that he would offer prize for the words of hymn extolling the virtues of father. There were scores of hymns dedicated to mothers the pastor said, but writers of sacred songs had overlooked "the old man."
 For that reason the preacher asked for a song of fatherhood, and he promised to have his organst set the words to music and sing it in his church at regu- lar intervals, if he could find such a hymn.
 Ut was up to me to accommodate the Rev. MT. Barton," said the aldermanic bard. I thought the matter over several days, and finally grabbed the following gem from my brain:
 FATHER. o, say, have you heard of that beautiful
 land,
 That beautiful land over yon? Where sorrow ne'er enters where grief
 is unknown,
 The land of perpetual song. I know I shall go there some day when
 I die,
 I know it because father said: ''You may have a mother to guide you,
 my child,
 But you'll miss the old man when he's
 dead"
 CHORUS. Father dear father. 0 dark is the night; I'm stretching my hands out to thee. Father dear father, o, show me the light;
 know that you're watching OCT me. That beautiful land can be reached by
 us all
 If fathers advice we would heed. In marching to Zion there's only one
 road
 I'm willing to follow his lead. The angelic harpists are playing up there In that land of cerulean blue; Come, get in the band wagon ere it's
 too late;
 You neer will regret if you do. Now. if that isn't good enough to sel to music, I don't know anything about sacred songs. l feel so delighted over my first flight into the realms of hymn writing that I am almost prompted te write a national hymn. I think 1 could put one over that would be adopted by

M cial)-of the Gridiron club din-
 W ner one can only tell of what the club members themselves do ana or the prepared acts and fun-making they have at the expense of their guests. It is. however. a we'll recognized fact that it is all fun and merfiment without a sting that leaves a scar.
 Congressman Oscar Underwood was one who enjoyed the fun with us this evening Of the 21 wears of my membership in this club there has never been more clever dinner. The recent political up heaval made the subjects. So why should there not have been fun when the Grid iron was prepared to sizzle the humor from individuals. political parties and all manner of things at interestY
 Of course there were too many thingN doing to tell the tenth of it tonight m nr,nt b,,t one of the active members
 
 briefs it in this wise:
 "Politics, past, present and future' was .,,o aor,;,ent note at the Annual Fall Dinner of the Gridiron club tonight. Pres ;dent Taft was there with members or his cabinet; Vice President sherman, senators and representatives in Congress latent presidential possibilities, newly electea governors of states and men of mark in various positions and of all shades of political belief, and ambassa- aors and ministers plenipotentiary of for eign countries, who were numoereo among the clubs guests, heard with wonder the good natured grilling admin ,.+ered bv the newspaper men to their victims. With tableaux and comedy s,zetch and topical song, in clever speech and moving picture, the incidents Of the ,.st camnaign were recalled and grim 
 forecast made of the future.
 "And right wittily and with many d -o;ntillating thrust of oratory did the ob- iects of this attention retort upon their tormentors. Forgotten for the moment were party differences; victor and yan- ouished joined hand and glove in repeh- ing the attack of their critics.

Interest in Ragland

"The town of Ragand was visited by a number of interested capitalists from the east on Friday and all of them seemed to be deeply impressed with the possibili- ties in our town and section" said State Senator w T. Brown, of that place, who was in Birmingham yesterday
 We have several very important small industries at Ragland as well as the largest Portland cement plant in the south, and there are fine prospects for the locating of a number of others in the very near future.
 "The capitalists who came with MT. Lowering made careful inspection or our plants and the natural advantages Of the community, and we are expecting 10 hear from them again.. though they made no announcement of their intentions.
 MT. Brown is largely interested in most all the industrial movements at Ragland, and is one of the busiest men in the state. He Is a member of the next state senate and is also a candidate for president pro tenn. of that body. He has many friends in the new legislature who are pulling for his election to that position.
