A quick form Of potato salad is
where the potatoes are combined with
olives and mayonnaise.
Cut up four of the former, il they
are of good size, otherwise more, into
largish pieces. Add two hard boiled
eggs, also cut up. Sprinkle with salt,
olive oil and vinegar Fold all to-

hour or until thoroughly chilled

stiff mayonnaise, cover with what Is

Among the first six was young

Boston, who had met Miss Howard
the previous summer while visiting
friends on the Massachusetts coast.
He saw as much of her as his meagre
vacation would allow, and In the fall
came to New York and asked her to
marry him.
Katherine told him she liked him
very much, but she wished to see
something of the world first; that
probably 1t would prove so charming
she would prefer to live in its midst
the rest Of her life. To her surprise,
MIR. Strong agreed at once. 1t was a
natural wish, and 1t was far from his
desire that any woman should be his
wife unless she realized the many
things she would have to give up;
there would be so much else for her to
do. He was indeed an unusual lover,
for he had added that he would be so
busy all winter 1t would be impossible
to leave Boston, but he would find time
TO see her just before Lent, when per-

WINTER sport.

I saw gladstone sight,
stood upon q hill
Whose gentle slope extends far down
Beyond the silent mill:
And snow and Ice had made the place
A glorious one to coast,
And half hundred girls and boys
Were out-a merry host.
Some sheds were shod with shining steel
And decked with red and blue;
And some were made by unskilled hands,
Yet sped right swiftly, too.
And rude toboggans, loaded well
With happy children, made
Their daring trips, the noisy crews
Laughing and unafraid.
I saw six merry little girls
In one unbroken train
Go coasting down without a sledl
looked and looked again;
And as they climbed the hill, saw
Each carried in her hand
just this-a kitchen dust-pan,
Broad. strong and well Japanned.
Each mounted and around her feet
Tucked carefully her gown.
Then on this cutter, queer but feet,
Triumphantly rode down.
Safely they rode. with joyous shouts,
They seemed to like it WE'LL
Though how they steered their funny
craft
I'm sure I cannot tell

Judge H. B. Abernethy of the second di- vision of the common pleas court yester- day bound over John J. Honeycutt, white man, to the grand jury under s20o bond on charge of assault with a weapon and placed him under bond of s20o to keep the peace toward all of the inhabitants of Beat IA. Honeycutt was charged in the first instance with assault with intent to murder on Roe Chandler, Mack Martin and Mark Goodson, who are neighbors of his.
 Ed Carter, colored, who was arrested on a warrant charging assault and battery with weapon, was released from that charge, but was held to the grand jury for assault with intent to murder.

railways and other public service util- 1 ities." When we visit some other places we note the absence of the machine like precision with which our trolley system is handled.
 No citizen of Birmingham will deny that our public service companies. more than any other one factor, have, by
 their progressive methods and up to date arrangements, made the recent census conditions possible and, in short,
 have been our strong right hand in making Birming gham famous.
 People may come to Birmingham over
 and when they get here they may find
 the finest car service, best water,
 brightest lights,
 Let's quit this knocking and settle back and take the right view of the
 matter. If our public service com panies furnish the class of goods we all want, we must allow them to make money-lots of money. They ought to
 be allowed to roll in>money. If they were poor and had to skimp along to
 make ends meet, we would be ashamed of the best they could give us.
 Now, I do not think it fair propo- sition to use the East Lake line a basis of comparison for other lines of like length. In addition to the regular traffic on the East Lake cars, there Is almost the year round a heavy pleas
 ure seekers traffic that necessitates the
 running of many extra cars in addition
 to those required for what we might
 call the industrial business This
 brings to the fore the inevitable logic
 production cheapened by volume of
 business. In other words, the Bir- mingham Railway, Light and Power company can certainly afford to haul
 passengers cheaper on the East Lake line, where the cars are frequent and
 well loaded. than they can on another
 line of equal length where business is many times lighter. That is, figuring on the business principle mentioned aboye-and I suppose, like other sue cessful business enterprise, our car company's management. is running the machine on business pMnciples, trying to build up their institution and pay stockholders good profit.
