At RaIzac's Tomb
Paris Correspondence London Evening

 The chapel tomb of Honore de BaiZac at Pere Ia Chaise was visited this after noon by a group of admirers who mako a yearly pilgrimage to the spot on August IS. These friends of Balzac" keep the novelist's memory green in an essentially Parisian manner, leaving cards and bead wreaths on the tomb and deliverina speeches and eulogies that are listened to reverently by a fair audience.
 During August innumerable American tourists visit the different cemeteries o1 the city, and many happened to be al Pere la Chaise this afternoon at the tune of the little ceremony. The French them selves have a veritable cult for ancestors that must be second only to that of the Japanese. and on every fete day anaiver- sary or holiday they "precipitate chem selves" (to use their own expressive word) to the cemeteries, leaving always some mark of their presence in the shape of 8 boouet. large or small. The tombs of pub lie. men and women are yearly the obiec of special demonstrations.
 Heines tomb is perhaps one Of the mos favored by foreigners, but that of thu original Dumas's Dame aux Camelias' is the best cared for. as every day in 1h' year it is visited and carefully dusted bl half-crazy woman with dyed yellow hair and thread gloves, who enters freel, into conversation with all visitors ant loves to relate the history of this Mar guerite."

A New Rink for Drummers

From the Iron Age.
 To bring a machine to the buyers office and to show it in action without the noise and grime of the factory is virtually what is suggested by an Indianapolis com pany. The company manufactures a mo- tion picture machine of a size fitting into a salesman's travelling case.
 In addition to enabling the salesman to enter prospects office and give demon- stration of the machine in operation, films may be shipped to the prospective buyers when it may not be necessary to send the entire machine. Then the film car be shown at the regular motion pie ture institution of the neighborhood at little cost.
 The picture machine is equipped with an attachment for showing single slides, which, of course, may be colored or may be reproductions of drawings to elucidate features of the design not conveniently OK plained with the motion picture. Of course with a motion picture machine the reels may be stopped at any point and definite operation studied with care.
 The possibilities of the application of the motion picture machine are of course great and it is interesting to add that the company has had such a degree of snc- cess in introducing the machine that on October 1 it expects to have plant of double present capacity for turning cut films, slides and picture machines.

which there were over 1000 conversions in the meeting of one week. Graceville is small town of about 25O0 people.
 The greatest meeting that he has ever held, by his own admission was in Mont gomery two years ago, in the Auditorium, at which meeting he delivered his famous lecture, Sins of Men.'' At d eerfain juncture of the meeting the 5000 men which filled the Auditorium jumped to their feet with one accord waved sheir hats and hands and cheered time after time. They sat down only to rise again and repeat their cheers for the young evangelist. In speaking of the meeting MT. Jones said: q became so imbued with the spirit of the meeting that I pulled off my coat and waved and cheered as wildly as anyone. I do not remember how I got my coat off or when I start ed cheering. l only remember that came to myself with my coat waving over my head and I was yelling like a Comanche Indian.' MT. Jones will deliver this lec- ture this afternoon at o'clock at the First Methodist church, at the corner of Sixth avenue and Nineteenth street.
 One peculiar feature about his meetings is that during every one of them, some man pays back some money to someone from whom he had stolen 1t. At one meet ing, man who had formerly been a street car conductor in Jacksonville, Fla, sent the car company there $500 in cash in paymert for sums he had taken from them in fares, 5 cents at time.
 During an interview with an Age-Herald reporter in his room at the Hillman hotel, Mr. Jones reached over to his dresser and took four ounce bottle of laudanum and held 1t up. This bottle of poison was given mo last Monday night at the First Methodist church of Birmingham by a woman who had come there with suicidal intent She told me after the meeting that she had intended taking the contents of the bottle in church. When she gave me the bottle she said that she would try again to live and do good for all" This bottle is still in the possession of MT. Jones. He would not divulge the name of the woman, although he states that he knows who she is.
 Mir. Jones, in June, 1908, was married to Miss Mary Gaston Stollenwercke, a cousin of Frank Stollenwercke. one of Montgom- ery's most prominent citizens.
 In speaking MT. Jones has forceful, non-assuming delivery which never fails to command attention. There is a peculiar twang to his voice which distinguishes it from all others. His manner is one of ,n- tense earnestncss.
 His meeting in Birmingham closes to- night with the evening service at the First Methodist church. He will preach there at the regular service hour, II o'clock. In the afternoon at o'clock he will deliver his famous lecture, which has been the subject of many a newspaper account, for men only. The title of The lecture is "Sins of Men" and has never failed to draw great crowd wherever he delivers it. It is free.

REMARKABLE STORY OF BOB JONES' LIFE Licensed to Preach Gospel
 When 15 Years Old IS A BORN ORATOR Reared on Farm, Earned Own Edu- cation and Now Is One of S0uth's
 Greatest Evangelists-Story
 of Some of His Reyiyals
IS A BORN ORATOR
Fly ANGUS A. AGREE

One hearing Evangelist Bob Jones preach, would not think of the struggle that has been his to attain the position he now occupies-that of the souths lead ing evangelist. One would not think that an almost story book life had been his.
 Yet such is the case. Furthermore it has happened right here at home-in Alabama flor Bob Jones is a native Alabama boy.
 On October 30, 1883, just 27 years and Il months ago. Bob Jones was born near skipperville, Dale county, Ala. He is the son of w. A. Jones, farmer of that sec- tion, who has since gone to his reward.
 Shortly after the birth of the future young minister, the Jones family moved from their home near Skipperville to Bran- nans Stand, which was then in Dale coun- ty, but is now in Houston county, five miles west of the city of Dothan.
 Although he is now a democrat and a minister, the first public speech Bob Jones ever made was in defense of the popullst party in 1895, when he was 1a

In Shades Valley

From the Story of Coal and Iron in Ala bama, by Ethel Armes. q Not far from Fort Jonesboro over in the valley across Red mountain which is called Shades valley, there wound in those days an Indian trail, leading from the Choctaw village, 'Old Beloved Town' later known as the city of Tuscaloosa, to another Indian village on the Cahaba, Crossing Shades mountain, the escarp- ment of the great Cahaba coal fields, it ran near the spot where in 1862 the OK moor furnaces, now owned by the Ten nessee company, were built. Long after the settlement of Jones valley" observes Grace, this trace was distinctly visible on property owned by Rev. John Cald- we'll"
 As for the story of Shades mountain and Shades valley. the names seem rooted in gloom. One account, related by the widow of Bayls Grace, tells how traveller, a trader. perhaps, passing through that re- zion was set upon by robbers and mur- dered. His skeleton was found years and years later, on the bank of the little creel, in the valley. The stream was therefore called Greek of the Shades of Death, T and so gave name to both valley and mountain. Another tradition relates thai the place was given it's sad name on ac- count of the taking off of manN of the
  fever. Still a third explanation is simply that because of the quick coming shadows and the dense foliage, a taller and richer growth by far than in Jones valley, ''the place just naturally came to be called Shades Valley or Valley of the Shadows '' Once two English pilgrims, Thomas w. Farrar and Seraphine Farrar, passed over Shades mountain on their way to settle in Elyton. On the crest of the high ridge are rocks, sharp cut and curiously eroded. cut of which a Doone might spring. Here on the highest point of the ridge, at the spot called Lovers Leap, the travellers carved, in old English letters, so clearly and ex- quisitely wrought that they are plainly legible to this day. their names, the date, August 20, 1927. and these words from Childe Harold:
 'To sit on rocks, to muse OCT flood and
 fell,
 Slowly to trace the forests shady scene Where things that own not mans domin-
 ion dwell
 And mortal foot hath ne'er or rarely
 been.'

There wasn't kid" in the neigh borhood who had more courage than he who would go further to show, that he wasn't "fraidy cat" or that he wasn't brave enough to go anywhere, no matter what the danger
 But he wasn't brave enough to mind his mother about jumping on freight cars That's how he happened to fall off train and get both legs cut off by the slowly backing freight car.
 He didn't lose consciousness and Ge didn't forget his mothers warning. AZ strong men lifted his quivering body witt legs cut off just below the knees, he said Gee, fellows, if I had only minded .yha

FEMALE HOTEL
 PORTERS APPEAR

Geneva, September So.-(special.)- Women of the suffragist persuasion. whose intrusion into modern business life it seems impossible to stop, are likely to have their ranks strengthened by the ad- dition of female hall porters, who in tho near future are expected to appear In Swiss hotels.
 Already Sweden has tried the experi- ment in the summer resort of Marstrand, where a girl has been doing the work of hall porter in a hotel for two seasons and has given complete satisfaction.
 She speaks half dozen languages, and always wears uniform, blue cloth on weel, days and blue silk on Sundays.

 Here is portion of an essay written by a youthful candidate in the examination for the "brevet elementaire." The subject set by the examiners was "The Discovery Of America by Christopher Columbus"
 After weeks and weeks of sailing Chris topher Columbus at last landed on a beach on which he found a group Of sav- ages dressed in shells.
 Is this American he asked them.
 'Oui, monsieur the chief replied.
 And are you negroes?'
 Of course.' the chief again answered; and then turning to his companions he said, Alas! We are discovered ! Many Europeans then soon settled in anerica and as the territories had been discovered by Cnlomb, who by the way, was the inventor of the hard boiled egg, they were called colonies"
