Every nail-keg in the store had its
occupant, the checker board was work
ing overtime, and mittens and muf-
flers were stuffed in bulgy pockets, as
their owners drew closer round the
big, rusty stove.
The door opened noisily, letting in a
blast of the storm raging outside, and
in its wake followed Rufe Blevins, a
giant wood-chopper, whose good ma.
ture and ready wit made him well
come addition to the store circle.
The loafers moved a little closer to-
gether to make room for Rufe on q
soapbox, but he marched past the
friendly circle, pumped an empty
molasses-keg down Oh the counter,
and drew stained bill from his
pocket, which he held out to the pro-
prietor of the store.
An expectant grin went round the
circle, for Storekeeper Jones had the
reputation of never wronging himself
by overwhelming or undercharging.

Churches and tuberculosis.

Statistics showing how serious a
problem tuberculosis is to the ordi-
nary church congregation have been
issued by the National Association for
the Study and Prevention of Tuber-
culosis. From reports received from
over 725 churches, with membership
of over 312,000s communicates of
twenty denominations, and from EOS
cities and towns in IL states in vari-
Gus parts of the country, out of nearly
1000 deaths in 1910, over 700 or 10
per cent, were caused by tuberculosis
This means 2.24 deaths for every thou
sand members or communicates
While the percentage of deaths from
tuberculosis compared with other dis
eases is not higher in the churches
according to these figures, than in the
country at large, the tuberculosis
death rate, as shown by the church
returns, is higher per thousand COM
municants than that for the general
population in the registration area of
the United States, which the census
bureau gave as 1.67 in 1909.

WelI-Authenticated Cases of Dumb
ness Which Scientists Are In
able to Explain.

The London Lancet recently dug up
from its old files the following story:
A farmer of Somersetshire made a
vow in the presence of his wife never
to speak to her again If she bore him
another daughter. He already had
three. A son was born, but, strange
to say, when the child became old
enough to talk and did talk to his
mothers and sisters, the father could
never get word out of him." and
what was more the boy could not talk
to any man. This was assumed in the
neighborhood to be a punishment of
the man for his rash vow. The re-
publication of this curious case led to
the appearance of another similar tale
of intermittent aphonia, vouched for
by a clergyman of Bath. In this in
stance a young man of % years had
never spoken to his father nor to any
one in the neighborhood but his moth
err and sisters. And he could not talk
with them in the presence of his ia
Their. But when he visited the clergy
man in a neighboring town he talked

way differed from the offices of ten
thousand other lawyers who strive to
exc out difficult living in the most
overcrowded of all the professions.
They consisted of modest suite of
rooms on the sixth floor. There was a
small outer office with a railed-off
Enclosure, behind which sat half
dozen stenographers busy copying
legal documents; as many men clerks
were writing at desks. and the walls
were fitted with shelves filled with
ponderous law books. In one corner

IS A WIZARD AT FIGURES

Representative John j. Fitzgerald
of New York, who has come to the
head of the committee on appropria-
lions in the readjustment made neces-
,sary when the Democrats took over
the control of the national house of
representatives, will have as his right
hand man James C. Courts, who for
over a decade has been officially
designated as clerk of this most irn-
portant body. His mastery of figures
IS nothing short Of wonderful; he has
had years of experience in which to
nerfect himself, and there is little do
ing in the way of committee business
that he can't reduce to cold figures.
Congress annually votes an extra
81 900 to his regular salary In recog-
milton of his extraordinary efficiency.

KENNEDY TO GET RED HAT

Right Rev. Thomas +. Kennedy,
Bishop of Indianapolis, president OF
the North American college at Rome,
Italy and a personal favorite of the
pope, shortly will be appointed by the
Holy See as an American cardinal, to
share honors with Cardinal Gibbons,
of Baltimore.
This statement is made upon the
authority OF Roman Catholic, so
high in church affairs that it should
be taken without hesitancy, and &C
cording to the same source the ap-
pointment will be the direct result OF
the suffragan bishops refusing to
abide by the popes desire to see
Bishop Kennedy recommended as a
successor to Archbishop Ryan OF
Philadelphia, who died recently.
The pope's wishes were made
known to the suffragan bishops by
Cardinal Gibbons. Instead of select
ing three names the suffragan bishops
submitted one, that of Bishop Prem
dergast, of this diocese, who did

Birmingham and Atlanta

The Railroad Herald is published weekly in Atlanta apparently in the interests of the railroads, but certain ly in the interests of Atlanta. To maintain the latter it goes out of it's way to write down" Birmingham. It declares, for example, that the transportation facilities of Atlanta are as adequate, efficient and eXten- sive as those of Birmingham" This statement is scarcely within the truth. The real main lines of the Central of Georgia and the long line to Brunswick do not go to Atlanta at all. Branches do, but the main lines do not The Frisco and the Illinois Central are unknown in Atlanta, and those roads have fast trains to and from Florida. The Louisville and Nashville is centered here and it's ap- pearance at all in Atlanta is incl dental.
 Tonnage is the best test of trans portation. This district offers to the railroads 20,0OO,00O tons annually. Atlanta's tonnage does not exceed one-tenth of this immense aggregate.
 The Railroad Herald should get in side of the facts before it proceeds to render Birmingham a mere .speck on the map alongside Atlanta. Atlanta, it says, is of more importance than Birmingham is. The railroads know better. even if the Railroad Herald does not.

AMBITION o. HENRY HAD

From the Book News Monthly.
 o Henry wrote no novels, but 1t was his intention to write one some day. The subject was ready in the writer's mind. Here are his own words:
 My idea is to write the story of man ali individual, not a type-(but man Whom, at the same time. I want to repre- sent a human nature type'D, if such a person could exist. 1 want this man to be a man of natural intelligence. of in dlvidual character, absolutely open and broad minded: and show how the Creator of the earth has got him in a rat-trap- pus him here willy nilly;v and then I want to show what he does about it.. There is always the eternal question from the primal source-'What are you going to do about it?''
 C. Henry's tolerance of another's short ooinings was one of his most human quail ities college student who posed for a time as the author of O. Henrys work wrote to him expressing his remorse. The imposter said that he had begun 1t as a joke and finally was unable to extri- cs te himself. The reply was as follows "Of course, I know it was only a prank. Come down to New York some time and we'll do the town together. It was gen. ei ous of you to stand for some of that stuff
