 Happiness is byproduct of life.

Heart To Heart Talks
By EDWIN \. NH

1 bolic acid in an attempt to end her | life, but was saved by the physicians
 Why a suicide at IA? The girl revealed the fact that she with several of her fellow workers in
 a factory had entered into q suicide
 pact, preferrlng to die rather than
 work in the mills. Listen to the child:
 We all wanted to die at our frame. l We go to work at in the morNing
 and work until 6 at night. We have no time to play. Little Bertha cries and says she would rather be dead than alive. So we made up our minds we would die"
 What a tragedy of childhoodl Without the power of self analysis these children did not fully realize per
 haps that under the depressing and monotonous labors of the mill both | their bodies and brains were being stunted, but they did realize they were miserable
 They did realize they were being l cheated of their birtnright--the right of self development, the right to educa ton, to recreation, to play.
 They did realize that because of the long and. grinding hours of labor in l the insanitary factory with its nerve racking noises they were losing the best years of their lives. Their parents?
 It is sorrowful to record that in many cases of this character the par | ents are to blame, dividing with the greedy mill operators the responsibil- ity for conditions as they are.
 But" say certain legislators- T worked on the farm as a child when l had to reach up for the blow | handles. Ii is good for children that ! they should york; Yes. but working in the open air and sunlight is one thing; working in the | dust and grime of stifling mill at mosphere is quite another. l We are proud of the fact that we are 3 working people.
 1 Nearly all our great men as boys were poor and worked hard. l But none of them worked under the
 conditions of our modern child slaves
 in stifling factory, or at opening the
 gates of the dark mine, or standing
 over the "breakers.' labors that change boys and girls prematurely into old men and women, ground by sordid greed into human waste.
 There is more than one sort of whit, | slavery.
 Alma Whaley preached a powerful
 sermon against child labor when sht
 told how these miserables preferred ! death.

 apt to be q boy of better impulses than if he were quiet and self centered. If you scold him harshly you stir up the little bad-the racial leftovcr-that is Tn him. It is easy to nag boy of spirit into retort or rebellion.
 There's d better way. Your boy Is as tender inside as he is tough outside. He does not wear his heart on his sleeve, but it is not calloused.

At last there is hope for the squint and the cross eyed-the American circus has reached the limit of bigness.
 It has been by a steady process of cvo- lution that the circus has reached it's pres ent stage of magnitude as best represent ed by the Barnum and Bailey orsanlza- ton. Thirty years ago the circus travelled by wagon from town to town, and there was not much of it. Then it took to the .irons and with a whoop in came the three rings and the elevated stages. From turnpike to rail brought incomprehensi- be changes. The dear old wagon show with its 100 foot round top, it's single ele- phant and a few cages of wild. and prob ably mangy animals, was soon forgtten. The public demanded quantity as well as quality They demanded q large and comprehensive animal exhibit and a big street parade. To furnish these things meant that the circus must play to big money. and to get this big money the tents must be large enough to seat thou sands, where before they had seated

scores. With the enlargement of the tents came added rings and stages to fill up tho space and give to every patron an oppor- tunity to see. This, then, is the circus mans explanation of the three rings ct al.

Stilwell's Dream

There is a man in Kansas City whose name is Stilwell.
 He dreamed a dream.
 His dream was an air line of steel from the grain fields of the middle west direct to the gulf. People smiled. The moneycrats of Wall street laughed.
 But
 When American financiers turned their backs on Stilwell's vision of shining rails from Kansas City to the sea the dream CT went to Holland and told his dream to the Dutch capitalists. They furnished the money and the Kansas City and Southern railroad was built
 StilwelPs dream came true.
 To be sure, the author and builder of the road in the outcome was cheated out of his hard earned share. but ,he road is there doing business as the di- rect realization Of Stilwells dream.
 Stilwell dreamed another dream.
 And again the fnanciers pronounced his dream a baseless fabric, impractical and absurd. They would not put a dol lar in the enterprise.
 But Stilwell went about to make his other dream come true.
 This was the dream:
 He would build a railroad from Kan sas City through Mexico to the gulf. It was the old dream from a new view point Stlwells vision was again the benign one Of connecting the great gran aries of the west with tidewater, thereby saving the farmers the long haul trans- portation.
 He dared to cut the parallels of lat itude.
 He was like that czar of Russia vino laid down his ruler between two great cities and, despite the remonstrances of engineers, said. Build it on that line. . Somehow Stilwell is getting the money and the Kansas City and Orient railroad is largely built.
 OfteDtimes your dreamer is the utili- tarian His vision makes things come to pass.
 There must first be the dream.
 Columbus dreamed of the other side of the world and found it. Napoleon dreamed of an empire and won it.
 With their natural eyes men sec only little things; they dream of big things. It is the dreamer who hangs the inn possible bridge over the spaness chasrn, lays path for thought on ocean's bot tom, discovers the new land, sends the message through the viewless air.
 Where there is no vision the people perish" Therefore the seer

Barnum show and they embodied their observations in report to the war de- partment.
 The Barnum show requires S5 cars to haul it about and over 66 horses are needed. Perhaps one-haf as many horses, very many less than the number of worl1ngmen now required and fewer cars would be needed were no parade to be given, but the public demands one, and it is a wise circus man who gives the people what they want. MT Bailey eliminated the parade some years ago while the show was in Germany and upon his return to America continued, for time the same policy. But the condi- tions were entirely different here and the parade was restored.
 The Barnum and Bailey show exhibits in Birmingham Wednesday, october i, and gives two performances and a street parade. An amazing programme of nov elites is promised together with an anil maj exhibit that would make old Noah jealous.

The Wrong Way

q want to do more for my children | than was done for me" l knew the history of the man who
 made that remark He was tumbled out into the world to earn his living at an ! early age and had succeeded by deserv- ing success. Like many other such fa- thers, he wanted to save his children from the hardships he had known. I knew his children.
 There was the boy, yet in his teens but already a young snob. He was dress ed like a swell-patent leather pumps silk stockings, gold watch fob, pearl stickpin. etc. It was plain to see from the way he turned up his nose at poorly dressed boys tht his measure of life was the cut glass, Persian rug standard And the girl:
 At an aged when she should have been playing with her dolls her mind
 was occupied with dress. She was load ed with Jewelry, wore false hair and painted her lips, if not her cheeks. She swayed in her extremely short dresses, 1 and it was pitiful to see how she straight
 ened herself in order to pose like d fash ionable woman.
 In trying to do more for his chil- dren the father did not see that
 Because he had gone up against the hard knocks his struggles had developed ms powers. HlS cnlIuren, being reared by hothouse methods. were weddings. There were no luxuries for him in early life, and self denial had put fiber into his character. His children were flabby and lacking because of luxury. He never indulged his appetites as a
 boy and confluence had made a man of him. He was pampering the appe- tites of his children to the full Do you see--
 How much better for these mere kids would be the plain dress and plain fare and the experience of discipline than the fine dress and the over indulgence? There is a way to do more for your children than was done for you. It is not the way of filling their pam
 pered stomachs with rich food and their weak heads with silly notions. It is the way of education, of obedi-
 ence, of thrift, of discipline. f5
 Beware lest fin trying to "do more"
 for your child you succeed in doing less.

sfaction-happiness. It is the byproduct of congenial labor.
 Therefore
 The busiest people in the world are the happiest.
 And conversely the idle people are the most miserable.
 Note those who have nothing to do save to amuse themselves. Life becomes bore. The greater effort they make to entertain themselves the greater their misery. They grow. tired of themselves.
 That is consoling to you
 You are busy, and sometimes you envy those who do nothing but seek pleas ures. Envy not, but pity. They are slaves
 Only the worker is free. In the ex- pression of the power that is in you through pleasant labors you find free dom and incidentally happiness.
 Happiness is byproduct.
