Astonishing Returns

I'm all of my real estate career and
in my years of residence in Birmin-
ingham 1 have never seen anything
that equals the confidence that the in
vesting public of the south has shown
in Birmingham district real estate =
said Robert Jemison, Jr., last night. Il
speak especially of the great demand
for Corey property that has been evil
denced-a demand that comes from tie
entire south
THE public must have great con-
fidence in a community when people
will telegraph for property from all
who have never seen the property and
who purchase through faith alone. We
have received remittances by telegram.
by special delivery letters, by the regu-
lar mail, and even in some Instances
by personal ENJOYS sent to Birming-
ham to make selections.
1T speaks well for Birmingha m s
reputation from an Investment point
of vitw and 1t speaks even louder of the
confidence that the people have in the
future of this district. The prospective
purch asers have not been people ut
tracted by wild speculation, but they
have invariably been Of the consery-
alive, careful class.
Il am gratified more so than 1 can
express, at the spirit shown by the
people of the south. 1t has given me
renewed faith in Birmingham. and 7
thought l had as much faith in Bir
mlngham as Is given one mortal to
have in any city,"

TIE GENERAL THEME.


oh. this is the silly season
And this is the time of year
When Love issues forth of morning
And takes the old world by the ear.
And fills the park benches with spooners
And crowds every craft on the lakes,
And keeps all the motor cars busy
And most undeniably breaks
Into all sorts of crannies and corners
Where he never was thought to be seen.
And seems quite at home in a hammock
And sprawls at his ease on the green.
Each sunshade that harbors a couple,
Where the sea waves go broke on the
shore
And many young chaps on vacation
DO the same. for fact, by the score,
Is target for Cupids swift arrows
And every tip-tilty canoe
That's ahoat on the tide of river
Seems Fashioned expressly for two,
While long shady lanes for lovers
Hold a lure that they can not resist
And where is the maid. too shy or TOO
staid.
who hasn't been squeezed or been
kissed?

From the Washington Star.
The young man who came from vir-
ginia to Washington TO be married and
who with due regard for the social
properties, though with some lapses from
sartorial rule, presented himself at the
city hall in quest of license clad in full
evening costume with a derby hat should
not feel unduly chagrined at the interest
which his appearance aroused. 1t is true
that according to latter day conventions
the spike-tail coat is not considered ex-
actly appropriate with the sun in mid
heaven at any season of the year. Nor
has the clawhammer been recommended
as an ideal hot weather garb. At the
same time no higher tribute could posi-
bly, be paid by a bridegroom to his in
tended wife than the DOMINIC of such
garments at such a time on such day.
Congratulations are to be extended 10
her who became the wife of so devoted
swain and compliments to him who
thus braved death for his lady fair. And
incidentally it may be suggested that
the spectacle thus presented here In
Washington was no more surprising than
that offered by the Chicago lawyer who
passed through the promenade of New
York's most freely advertised hotel the
other day in the perfection of evening
uniform with the single striking excep-
ton of a pair of white flannel trousers.
If the latter wore this singular combina-
tion merely TO attract attention he sue
,eeded. No such motive, however, can
possibly be imputed to the Virginia
bridegroom, who gave Washington an OPP
portunity to forget its hot weather trou-
bles. The attention of the Carnegie hero
commission is respectfully invited to him
as worthy Of place among the bravest
of men.

BY william Watson.
Low, like another's. lies the laureled
Garry the last great bard to his last
The lite that seemed perfect song is
Land that he loved, thy noblest voice is
mute,
Land that he loved, that loved him;
Meadow of thine, smooth lawn. or wild
Gardens of odorous bloom and tremulous
fruit
Or woodlands old. like Druid couches
spread,
The masters feet shall tread,
Deaths little rift hath rent the fapltless
lutte;
The singer of undying songs is dead.
No more, o never now,
Lord of the lofty and the Tranquil brow.
Shall men behold those wizard locks
where time
Once, In his youth obscure
Let fall no wintry rhine.
By splendor of its theme which cannot
die,
Beheld thee eye to eye,
And touched through thee the hand
OF every hero of thy race divine,
Ev'n to the sire of the laureled line,
The siEhtless' wanderer on the Ionian
strand.
Yea, behold thee, and behold thee YETI
Thou hast forgotten; but can I forgetf
Are not thy words all goldenly inn
pesss1d
On memory's palimpest?

tongue.
tread the floor thy hailowins feet have
trod;
I see the hands nations Tyre that
strung,
The eyes that looked through life ana

CROMWELL WRITES TO T. R.

nation was plunged again in blood and
despair Some one among you has lately
said that government should be thing
of laws and not of men. And such is, in
deed, the solemn truth, for which I shall
now quote you against yourself. In your
opinion of me you thus conclude:
1.-THE truth is that a strong nation can
only be saved by itself, and not by
strong man, though it can be greatly aid
ed and guided by strong man. A weak
nation may be doomed anyhow, or 1t may
find its sole refuge in a despot; nation
struggling out of darkness may be able
to take its first steps only by the help of
n master hand, as was true of Russia,
under Peter the Great and If a nation,
whether free or unfree, loses the capacity
for self-government, loses the spirit OF
sobriety and of orderly liberty then 1t
has no cause to complain of tyranny; but
a really great people, people really ca
pable of freedom and of doing mighty
deeds In the world. must work out its own
destiny, and must find men who will be us
leaders-not it's masters
That is well said, but fear greatly you
have no real appreciation OF It's bearing
upon your republic. whose course nave
watched with such grave concern. The
only way In which nation can rule itself
;s through the law--that law, made OF
man. and to be observed and worsniped
In the things of man as devoutly as the
law of God in the things of God. Such
is the gospel which l have come 10 per-
ceive. realizing as I do so keenly the
Rrievous errors in my own career. Yours,
