 The young man stood hesitating upon the steps until the shrill. girlish voices died away, and Alice opened the door.
 "Oh. Have you been here long?" she exclaimed
 "Only about five minutes" he replied. favailing himself in hesitating manner of her invitation to enter.
 "rhen you heard us?"
 "Er, we'll a little, you know-I real- ly couldn't help it. I was just about 10 go, you know" he stammered.
 About to go-why?"

 What are you speaking of, MT Soft leigh ?" Alice demanded, suspicious ;!
 "Why-er-of course I wouldn't have presumed to mention it, you know! My brother and I-every once in a while I've do, really!"
 You do. really, what?"
 "Er-quarrel, you know!"
 Alice looked coldly out of the win dow.

 PACIFIC BANKER

New York, April 19-Banker James speyer will tomorrow take the place of Paul M warburg. resigned, in the direc- torate of the Missouri Pacific railway and the house of Speyer & O., closely allied with the Deutsche bank, will fill the val cancy left by the retirement yesterday of' Kuhn, Loeb & Co.,, as bankers, for the road. MT. speyer admitted this much to close friends today, but could not talk for publication, he said, until after his formal election.
 Fred T. Gates. representing John D. Rockefeller on the Missouri Pacific board; Edgar l.. Marston, representing Blair 6 Co.,, and Edward D. Adams, representing the Deutsche bank. all decided today to keep their positions. The same interests have worked harmoniously in the past and the supposition in Wall street today was that they had taken their lead from MT. Rockefeller who, as the second largest stockholder in the property and a. com manding influence in the banking com1 munity, may now be said to control its financial policy.
 Mir. Gates said today that the Rocke1 feller interests were entirely friendly to George J. Gould, who with MT. Rocke7 feller's aid. yesterday dictated the nomi1 nation of the newly-elected president. BI F. Bush.

NOT so FINE AFTER ALL
BY WALTER HARPER

heart was reduced to mere gale the real blow came. Work was suspended at the shop. There was no explanation. It may be temporary. The shutdown may last month. It may last year.
 But there is no pay envelope, the only balm that can bring peace to the troubled breast and bread for the children.
 Stop the train, please. A sick man wants air.
 Here the rainbow looms up again on the clouded horizon, in the wake of the storm.
 It touches the earth between the old farmhouse that once appeared so mean and miserable, and the barn stuffed with hay and corn.
 There is also a sack of gold. He can see it now. It is jagged with fat yam po- tatoes, turnips, a pound of pure butter every day and a pitcher of cold milk in the springhouse.
 There are no creditors hanging around.
 There is no "clack, clack of busy ma ehinery and changing silver. There is no plush luxury or beveled mirrors of empty splendor, but there is honest virtue peaceful slumber and restful intervals of peace and undisturbed contentment
 A few honest hens, a contented COW, simple garden and a few smiling acres are a wall of protection about the home They are the only panic-proof material in the world.
 Please stop the train. A fainting man wants to walk.

New York, April 19.-(Special )-The Iron Age will say tomorrow:
 The question of Lake Superior ore prices for 1911 has become of first im- portance in the past week. Among mer- chant ore producers sentiment in favor of 50-cent reduction from the level of 1910 has been more pronounced, but the issue is complicated by the attitude of some of the steel interests. The latter are concerned about the effect of a re- duction in ore upon the market for fn- ished steel. Offers of non -Bessemer ore for 1911 shipment have been made at a considerable concession from the basis Of ores at prices midway between those of 1909 and 1910 point to a lower oasis both for eastern and lake ores.
 Pig iron and finished material markets have grown auieter. Pig iron production is receding from the high point reached at the opening of April.
 r. In foundry pig iron, under indifferent buying, prices for deliveries late in the year are getting closer to those for early shipment The chief development in structural steel was the call for bids for 5000 tons of fabricated steel for the 1nterborough Rapid Transit company New York. It will be used for additional tracks and extensions for the. Second. Third, Sixth and Ninth avenues elevated lines, including double-deck bridge over the Harlem river

ENSLEY FIRM BUYS
 MORGAN LANDS
Rich Acreage Purchased By Wallace Brothers-Fine Roads Add to
 Value of Lands

Hartselle, April 20.-(Special)-J M. Maxwell, who deals in farm lands, has just closed a deal with Wallace Broth CTS of Ensley whereby they acquired the Bussey farm of PIP acres This farm Is located four miles from town on the Danville pike and Is of the red clay soil, for which Morgan county Is famous. With the recent building of about 1S6 miles q pike road in the county, farm values have increased 50 per cent and are going higher.
 That investors appreciate this fact is evidenced by the daily inquiries for riety of soils, sandy, red clay and black lands adapted to any kind of crops grown in the south. and can be had for from s20 to $45 per acre. Wallace Brothers, who are railroad contractors, will move to their farm in a few months and will cultivate it scientifi- cally.
 w. J. Sandlin of Massey, one of Nor gan county,s most progressive farmers, who also operates telephone exchange with 90 subscribers, gathered under the parental roof tree last Sunday all his sons and daughters and their sons and daughters together with friends num- bering 45 for an old-fashioned all-day visit, of which, not least among its pleasures, was dinner such as only housewife on a farm where spring chickens, sweet country hams and early vegetables are raised MT. Thomas Gleaton of Addison was a guest from distance. MT. Sandlin manages three farms besides operating his telephone exchange. which he does, not purely for the revenue. but more to benefit his neighbors who enjoy the convenience and pleasure of telephone connection.

The Council Is Busy With Concrete Sidewalks and Plans for Water

Aliceville. April 1s.-(special) )-Final action was taken Hast night by the Masonic lodge on the selection of lot on Broad street, three lots north of the deport The lot sold for $725, and Is 30 by 113 feet.
 A committee was appointed to draw up the papers and secure the deed, and a committee is out for the inyestiga-
The Birmingham age-herald., 1911-04-20

tion of plans of raising sufficient funds to begin the building as soon as prac- ticable. Just when this will start can not be stated at this time, but senti- ment is strongly in favor of no time being lost, and 1t is possible that the work will be started within the next six months.
 A meeting of the city council yes- terdav awarded the contract for the construction of concrete sidewalks along Millionaire street. This contract was awarded J. H. Swain or near Louisburg, Tenn, as the lowest and best bidder.
 These sidewalks are to be 5h feet, including the curb. and run the entire length of Millionaire street. a total distance of nearly 5000 yards. Work IS to begin at once. and MT. Swain has been notified of the councils action. When this is completed. there will be about 4000 yards of concrete walk on the citys streets.
 The council also considered the fran chise of a private water company and submitted those interested a proposi- tion which has not been returned. The project is a pretty big undertaking and though movement seems to be slow, it Is believed water will be in before many months. Sufficient stock has all ready been subscribed, and the details of the franchise are the sole reasons for delay at this time.
 Attorneys D. D. Patton and l. K. Hinton, representing the town and company, respectively, are investigating the legal steps necessary and assist ing in the drawing up of the contracts. This plant is proposed to supply Broad street at the present time with fire pro- lection and numerous parties within Its reach.
