Is on the outside. who represents the
cat. They then dance around. raising
their arms at intervals. The cat
watches the chance to spring into the
circle at one side. and the mouse
dashes out at the other. Public SYM

players lower their arms so as to keep
the enemy prisoner. The cat goes
around meekly, crying Meow while

sudden Meow she tries to break

The Wishbone.
Scientists call the "wishbone" the
furcula, and 1t Is the union Of what
are In man two collar bones. These
receive the brunt of the strokes Of
the wing that turn the creature In it's
fiight.
Few Of Us appreciate the strength of
stroke Of the birds wing. A swan has
been known to break mans leg by a
blow OF its wing, and. In like manner.
the wing beatings Of the larger birds
are dangerous II they strike the human
head or face. IL, therefore. a large
bird Is in the habit of making sudden
turns to right or left in its flight IT
must be fitted with a "wishbone"
capable Of withstanding the great
strain of the wing stroke on the one
side when unaccompanied by action
on the other.
For this reason we find in the eagle

A Left Handed BAR.

An old pennsylvania hunter has been
telling about his encounter with a left
handed bear. He was out with three
dogs. and they scented bear and ran
away ahead. When the hunter came

Tor some time enjoying their antics.
The dogs were experienced and active
and managed to escape any serious in.

got evidently confused them. The

dogs over a half dozen times they be-
came alarmed and refused to advance.
Then the hunter put stop to the
sport with bullet.

will be the man who has the best aver age in all 10 events. However, if any southern or international record is broken the athlete will be given credit for his work. All are confident that the all around southern champions score will be higher than that of last year, which was not low.
 The southern record for the events is as follows: loo yard dash, 4-5 sec onds; throwing the 16 pound shot, S9 feet and inches high jump, feet and inches; throwing the Is pound ham mer, 137.2 feet; pole vault, II feet and 10 inches; 120 yard hurdles, Is 4-5 sec onds; throwing the 56 pound weight, 27 feet and 1 inch; running broad jump, 21 feet and l inch l mile run, min utes and AS 1-3 seconds
 It is thought that over 50 athletes will enter the contest. New Orleans will be Birmingham's strongest com petitor, while the universities about Birmingham will also enter the con test. The promoters of this big meet expect a large crowd in view of the fact that so many noted athletes will be present and the expectations of rec ord breakings will attract many. At 1 o'clock Saturday afternoon at the fair grounds the event will take place.

recognize the marvellous work which the railroads have done towards the develop ment of the industrial interests of the country We recognize that the presi- dents of the great transportation corpora tions and the railroad map makers of the country have shown marvellous skill and genius in the great work they have undertaken. They have increased the fla cilitles of transportation; they have con- stantly sought to secure new and im- proved plans and devices to add to the comfort and convenience of the travel ing public; they have aided la the de- velopment of our forests. our mines and agriculture. If mistakes have been made they were due to the folly of the state and nation in sitting with folded hands and not sooner exercising the power vest. ed in them to protect the public. Rail- roads honestly administered, which render the best services consistent with security of the capital employed, service which is impartial and without favortism, arc the most effective agencies of progress and commercial development In insiss- ing upon the sovereign power of the state to regulate intrastate rates we are not seeking to restrict the operation of raii- roads, impede or check their growth, or to prevent fair and even liberal returns on their property.
 'As a candidate for governor of my state announced a position, which I afte 0--.ds reaffirmed in my inaugural address. that all capital invested in Ala bama should receive the just and equal protection of the law. I am gratified to state tonight that in no period in the history of our commonwealth has there been more cordial feeling between the people and the carriers, a feeling which has been produced by the recognition On the part of both, that only by just and equal laws, which permit no dscrimna- tion or favoritism. can we secure perma- nent peace and mutual and friendly CO., operation between the state and the car rier."

business, the whitening of prosperous communities and the failure of others to develop at all results as an inevita- ble consequence.
 'The state cannot, therefore, unless it be under an adverse declaration of the law by the court of last resort, compromise or yield one jot or little of its attributes of sovereignty. If the right to regulate intrastate rates req sonably does not reside in the state it resides nowhere, and the negation of that right would place the strength and right of a mere association of in- dividuals superior to sovereign states and lay their people helpless before even predatory exactions.
 "On this point, as I have stated, the very existence of the state in it's un- impaired powers depends and on that point there can of necessity be no com power, as I have stated in the begin ming, there must be a consideration for the best interest of the railways as well as of the people. Confiscatory rates made by state are as bad as predatory rates made by railroads. Under neither can there be that equal ity of opportunity which all our insti- tutions try to preserve I feel grati- fled that my own state, lately the theatre of q desperate political strug- gle between the people and the rail- roads, has through it's dominant polit- ical party made a declaration of policy on which both the people and the rail- roads can with justice to themselves and to each other stand.

 That money is refunded at any time for diamonds allowing 90 per cent of the purchase price any time within 99 years-or full value if exchanged for another diamond.

At an adjourned meeting the schedule for next season will be adopted, although this will necessary follow the adoption of the Southern league schedule in case ~Bessemer effects an entrance into the Southeastern. It Is the intention of the Bessemer contingency to play It's home games when the Birmingham club is on the road.
 Another matter that may be discussed at the meeting Saturday night is the proposition to permit no player participat- ing in the games of the Southeastern sea- son who has ever played a season in a class higher than Class c, unless such player is appearing in the role of mana ger.
 This will be the first meeting of the league since the close of last season, and the change in the official head of the or ganization.
