The Mirror Of Life.

The Mirror Of Life.
Do you wish for kindness? Be kind.
Do you wish for truth? Be true.
What you give of yourself you find.
Your world is a reflex of you.
For life is mirror. You smile
And smile is your sure return.
Bear hate in your heart and erewhile
All your world with hatred will burn.
Set love against love. Every deed
Shall armed as a fate recoil.
You shall gather your fruit from the seed
That you cast yourself in the soil.
Each act is a separate link
In the chain of your veal or your woe.
Cups you offer another to drink ~
The taste of their dregs We shall know.

F. w. SMITH TAKES
 NO PART IN CASE
Thinks Talk of Suit Against Harry Jones Is for Political
 Effect

After calm of few days gossip about city hall affairs was resumed yesterday by rumor circulated that suit would be instituted against Harry Jones, presi- dent of the Birmingham City Council, seeking refund to the city of his re- gently created salary of s1OO per month The rumor had 1t that R. H. Fries, a law yer of Birmingham, would institute the suit and would have associated with him Frank w. Smith, one of the best-known of the younger Birmingham lawyers. In a formal statement issued to quiet the rumors of his connection with such a play, MT. Smith said he had not been re- tained to begin any action against Pres ident Jones, and would in all probability not be associated in such litigation. MT. Smith said in his statement that as a citizen he would not care to be connected with any such political designs as tho suit might prove to be. His statement follows.
 Tn regard to the statement that would be associated with others to prosecute suit directed against MT. Harry Jones, president of the City Council. for a refund of salary said to have been illegally drawn by him, wish to sax that 1t Is true that I was approached by Mir. R. H.

in reference to this matter. He did not mention to me the names of the taxpayers and made no definite ar the matter, but merely said that it Is stated that number of prominent tax payers intended to institute proceed ings against MT. Jones for the refund of his alleged illegally drawn salary. l never told him whether I would or would not be associated with him in any such litigation. He only spoke to me in most informal way about the matter.
 And during the conversation told him how l stood on the salary increase when it came for a vote in the council, and called his attention to several sections of the municipal code and the state consti- tuition, under the construction of which I didn't think the council had the legal right to vote MT. Jones salary. As q member of the City Council I have no de- sire to become any further embroiled in litigation.
 Tt is my opinion that the question of MT. Jones receiving this salary would have never been mentioned at this time If there had not occurred the recent sen- sationalism in reference to the City hall irregularities.
