Birmingham is taking to the horse
 Despite the fact that the automobile is In the height of it's glory. and that bal looms and flying machines are promising to tempt the lovers of easy outdoor ex- ercise to new form of amusement, the stately equine is more than holding his own. He is gaining by leaps and bounds upon the affections of pleasure-loving people. The Birmingham Riding club, organized a few months ago with a membership of 2, is already promoting the love of equestrianisn, and it is thought may later be the nucleus for a big organization, including many active horsemen and horsewomen. With the enlargement of the membership It is eX- pected that many interesting features will be ntroduced-camping, hunting, riding to hounds, and all of the contests which are enjoyed by riders of experience in the west and in England. There is no req son why fox-hunting, indeed, should not, with the proper facilities, become pop ular here as elsewhere in this country Virginia, for example, where it has been indulged in particularly, in a more or

 And continuing: Sage advice this from woman who knows the world and who incidentally gives some sidelights on her own sex; but nevertheless, there are a few things which even the perfectly proper-p r-prunes-and prlsms young woman may do and keep on the right side of the conventions. And the best of these is hunting. It is not case of to hunt or not to hunt that is the question. but whether it is nobler in the side saddle and skirt of our mothers to suffer or to take arms against a sea of trouble and by opposing end them-and ride astride with brooches just like fathers?"
 But all the discussion brings one back U the starting point and the question is settled, as 1t should be, by preference Birmingham women prefer the cross sad ale

 Buster wouldn't trot hard. and he wouldn't for the world gallop. His can ter is thoroughly decorous and he has never been known to shake down the carefully arranged coiffure of his riders.
 Another, whose name nobody knows,
 but is vaguely referred to as that gray horse,' has been the subject of wild tales. Many have seen him refuse to pass an automobile until his head was swathed in some gentleman's coat, when with gentle persuasion he was led shrink ingly past. Others tell that he has stood on his hind legs and paved the air when e motorcycle passed. but he does these things no more. All his bad habits have been corrected, and on the Friday rides fhc attends more regularly. than some of the members of the club, he conducts himself with entire decorum. Mrs. Hard ing rides him almost constantly, and she is superb horsewoman. Gray does not belong quite in 'Buster's' and
 'velma's" class. for though his manner betol,ens perfect gentllity, he Is sfiil not above shying. and with the other two the most timorous woman may mount feeling perfectly assured that unless there was an earthquake they wouldn't show a sgn Of shvng, much less running away or trying to throw a rider.

She bought Orrine from the druggist In her home town-she bought 1t after reading the Orrine Free Booklet. In the booklet she read of the wonderful cures of drunkenness which were ac- complished by the aid of Orrine. On page 10 of the booklet she read the liberal guarantee to refund all money paid for Orrine if it failed to effect a cure. After reading the booklet she be- came convinced that Orrine was a remedy of unusual merit. She decided to purchase it and cure her husband of drunkenness. Orrine cured him. Now she Is happy wife in a happy home Orrine helped to purchase the home Read tn e following letter from Walter K Schmidt Co.,, S4 Canal street. Grand Rapids, Mich.
 For a number of years we have been agents for Orrine During that time we have had occasion to be convinced be- yond doubt, that Orrine is reputable remedy, worthy of recommendation. One of the many cases coming to our attention, mechanic earning $2250 per week, who had not taken a full pay envelope home for over five years, was induced to try Orrine, a complete cure being the result. The man became worth more to his firm, receiving an advance in pay, and has purchased home. The house stands there sh lowing the merits of Orrine. We cannot help but feel that we were most fortunate when we secured the agency for this reliable liquor cure"
