Too Much Blowing Of Whistles.

The Alabama Great Southern railroad
has started a reform in Greater Bir-
mingham that has long been felt in the
sensitive drums of many ears 1t has
order its locomotive engineers to respect
the people of this city by reducing to a
minimum the blowing of whistles in it.
whistles are not blown in other cities,
and there is no reason why the incessant
whistling in this city should be longer
maintained.
What the Alabama Great Southern has
thoughtfully and humanely done should
be followed by railroads entering this
city until the shrleks of whistles within
the city's limits will become almost IN
known. The whistle will disappear when
steam does on the iron rails. but the
example of the Alabama Great Southern
shows that there is no need of waiting for
electric motor power. There is really no
need of the use of the whistles inside
this city's terminals. All movements are
regulated by signals or by men on the
spot and the screeching is wholly super
fiuous inside the city's bounds. All praise
to the Alabama Great Southern for inau-
gurating a long-felt reform.

TOLD HER FRIEND GOODBYE

From the Empora Gazette.
A venerable colored woman of Coffey-
Vile realized that she had but little
time to live-perhaps two or three weeks.
Twilight and evening star, and after
that the dark said She; and while she
had no objections to crossing the bar, she
wanted to see all her friends before EN-
barking. SO she published card in
the local papers, expressing the wish that
her friends would call upon her at her
lcwly abode and say goodbye. She had
many friends, white and black, all of
whom had a great respect for her, for
she was a good woman, all of the oldea
time; and they went to her little shack
and found her cheerful and optimistic.
Death was trifng thing, to be sure,
but fine old woman, all of the olden
time. didn't think it was just right to
start out on the trip without saying
word to her friends. So she shook their
hands and said, God bless you," and
they said, "God bless YOU" to her, and
went away, hardly knowing whether 10
laugh or cry. The old woman died on
Monday. During the last two or three
weeks she had the best time of her life.
Every day was reception day, and she
was at home to her friends at all hours,
and the friends were so numerous that
they wore path to her door. 1t probably
is the first case on record where ding
person issued a printed invitation of this
sort As an innovation it is slightly
amusing, but it is not without its pathos.

TusCalOOSa'S DiSpenSaTy

Elsewhere will be found the opening
article of a series on the dspensares of
Alabama. The first article relates to the
dispensary of Tuscaloosa without ex'
hausting the subject.
That well-conducted dispensary yielded
IN city of 5000 people 100000 in six years
while 1t eliminated blind tigers and de.
creased drunkenness. What a dispensary
would do in Birmingham is best left to
each citizens own estimate.
The Age-Herald is content to ask ev-
cry reader TO read the series of articles
on the dispensaries that statewide pro-
hibition knocked out. The proof of the
dispensary pudding is in the drinking
done in Alabama towns that adopted the
dispensary system. The story of Tusca-
ioosa will be supplemented with stories
Jasper and other places. These stories
concerning dispensaries in Huntsville and
will prove good reading to all who are
thoughtfully considering the liquor prob
lem as it will appear under a local option
oct of next winters legislature.

applies to the wireless as well as to old
time land lines. These changes will GER
tainly add largely to the work of the
commission, which is already over
burdened.
The interstate commission will really be-
come under tho new railroad bill one of
the most important branches of the fed
eral government. 1t will deal with more

"BLAck BART, ROAD AGENT

w. c. Jenkins in the National Magazine
Perhaps the most annoying robber who
continually and for several years success
fully preyed upon the Wells-Fargo COM
pany in the old days was Charles E.
Bolles known to fame as BLACK Bart.
He was incomparably the most conspicu-
Gus character in the history of western
stage robbers. From 1875 to 1888, Black
Bart" is known to have committed Il
stage robberies single-handed. Northern
California stage drivers stood in constant
fear of this unique desperate. On Varl-
Gus occasions the drivers were able to
give a good description of his figure, hair,
feet and hands, yet no clew to his actual
identity was gained during the eight
years of his stage-robbing career. He
was finally betrayed by laundry mark
on a cuff which had dropped from his
wrist when opening a treasure box which
he had taken from a Wells-Fargo stage
in San Joaquin valley. When he was
finally captured In San Francisco the de-
teetlyes were amazed to find the famous
BLACK Bart slight, quiet hammered
man of So, familiar In face to all the San
Francisco detectives-he had for years
freouented a little restaurant near police
headquarters where many of the detec-
tives dined.

MIR. Roosevelt and a Third Term

No one has ever said that Mr.. Roose-
welt lacks political sense. He may do
great deal that is spectacular. He may
play to the grandstand, but he usually
displays in his plays tact. shrewdness and
a knowledge of what is American and
what is not. He has, in word. politi-
ca, sense.
This is what made him reject In 1908
a nomination for third term. He
brought forward Mr.. Taft, and he sue.
ceeded in nominating and eecting him.
He knows the American people do not
want third-termer in the White House,
and he knows, too, that there is no differ
ence in the average mind between a
third term running and a third term
with a break between the second and
third, or between the first and the Sec
ond terms The unwritten American rule
thus far has applied to a third term. no

PERSONALITY OF GEORGE V.

noble enthusiasm for it by Canon Dalton,
whose share in inspiring that abiding
ardor the king has often acknowledged.
1t is said that in later days George the
Fifth somewhat disturbed the mental
routine of those about him by the sug-
gestion, which would now be recognized
as perfectly sound, but was then start
ling, that the separation of the United
States would never have happened if
George the Third could have held a court
in New York. Much later still there is
still more attractive story of how the
present king was led by the praises of
the critics to visit a childrens play. The
theatre was crowded, but 1t was crowded
chiefly with adults who had learned that
the piece was excellent, had flocked to
it themselves, and had forgotten for the
most part to bring the children with
them. The emphatic comment of our new
sovereign upon that occasion was that the
selfishness of thoughtlessness was at the
root of much that is wrong with our
age There was heart and sense in that
Judgment. and it reveals perhaps better
than any other flash of sidelight what
ever the fundamental excellence of the
character of the king, and some of the
traits that make the straightest claim
upon all that is sound in the nation. His
happiness in his own home life with the
delightful children whom the queen has
given him has followed upon his devotion
to his own father and mother. His SYM
pathetic kindness we have indicated With
all the fervour of his belief in the empire
his well-known yeneration for Mr.. Glad
stones memory shows the just balance
of appreciation that rightly belongs UNI
der our constitution to a king above
parties. If he has little taste for the
turf he has the opeli-air spirit in an
other form, for he is one of the very
best shots in the world and sailor to
boot The study of his majesty's char
acteristics might be much expanded. but
we have said enough to indicate the
energy and alertness and keen perception
which enttle the empire to look to King
George with no less hope than attach
ment
Above all. his majesty is not likely to
forget that twentieth century kingship de-
mands social service no less than imperial
patriotism, and that to be in special sense
the monarch of the mauses will be to the
sovereign of an empire the mos1 precious
of all sources of strength. Even in the
sorrow of this hour let us lift up our
hearts as Edward the Seventh would
Nave wished us and as Queen Alexandra,
even in a grief moving all that is human
within MS must desire that we shall
H,ft them I'D for her son. Whatever else
betide, in all things he will be true
man and Englands man; and the UNI
spoken prayer of the subjects of George
the Fifth throughout the wide world to-
dav will be: "The king-God bless him."

KINDNESS ON A FARM

From Leslie's.
A farmer out in North Dakota having
been sick all winter and spring on
given day his neighbors met at his farm
and with q outfits, plowed, narrowed and
sowed 100 acres in a single day. The
wives and daughters came, too, and
served a fine noon dinner on the lawn,
making a gala event of the day. This
pleasing incident reads like chapter
from 80 to 100 years ago. with its barn or
house "raisings,' neighborhood harvest
ings and thrashings, and other similar
coca sions where the spirit of mutual
helpfulness prevailed. The only desire
was to do neighbor good turn In
our highly organized social life, in--the
mad whrl in which we move, we are
losing much of this simple, neighborly
spirit, and it is a great loss. Promiscu-
Gus charity Is admittedly bad policy,
but organized charities cannot cover all
cases and supply all needs. Outside OF
all charitable agencies there will always
be a wide field for kindness and thought
fuiness to call out the unselfish qualities
of nature. Let us, therefore, seek to
cultivate them.

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
Henry Lost Out

Il heard good one on the late u
Henry yesterday" stated a Birmingham
bookworm to a number of friends. 'Aa
is well known, Henry did not like 10
discuss the dry subjects of books and
authors, and his chagrin was great when
on the occasion of little dinner in his
honor, he found himself seated by a
learned maiden lady of Boston. And her
questions were so rapid and so confusing
that Henry was unable to make satisfae-
tory reply.
FINALLY in desperation, the humorist
asked the lady If she enjoyed Budweiser.
The learned one was checked for an in
slant and then confessed that she did
rot know what that gentleman had writ
ten. Afterwards Henry stated that in
his opinion the lady had got the better
OF the argument, after ALL.

SET FREE.

Where forest streams are musical
And birds sing all day long
Their joyous notes of life and love-
A silver-throated throng-
A saddened heart finds pleasure gay
And hope in every bower,
While sweet untrammeled Fancy flies
On golden winged hour.
And every bloom that decks the vale
And every lifting bird.
And every sigh the zephyr breathes,
In leafy covert heard.
But fashions more enchantment still
For Tolls brief holiday.
Until the raptured spirit scars
From earthly cares away!
