LOVE AND TIME

By Thomas Moore.
 Iris said-but whether true or not Let bards declare who've seen em-- That Love and Time have only got One pair of wings between 'en. In courtship's first delicious hour, The boy full oft can spare them; So lolterlng in his lady's bower, He lets the gray-beard wear them.
 Then is Times hour of play;
 Oh, how he flies. flies away! But short the moments, short as bright. When he the wings can borrow; If Time today has had his flight. Love takes his turn tomorrow. An! Time and Love, your change is then The saddest and most trying. When one begins to limp again, And t'other takes to flying:
 Then Is Loves hour to stray;
 Oh, how he flies, flies away! But there's a nymph, whose chains feel, And bless the silken letter, Who knows, the dear one, how to deal With Love and Time much better. So we'll she checks their wanderings, So peacefully she pairs them, That Love with her ne'er thinks of wings 2 And Time forever wears them. y
 This is Times holiday:
 Oh. how he flies. dies away!

THE ApoprIoN OF CHILDREN

Henry H. Goddard in the Survey, of the
 Vineland, N. J., school for feeble
 minded children.
 If some farmer should offer me calf on condition that I shvuId raise 1t and care for it. take 1t and treat it like one of the herd, I would be considered a very poor ana careless farmer if did not inquire whether 1t had sufficiently good ancestry to give at least fair prospect of its developing into good COW. Suppose, still further, there was a good reason to believe that this calf was of bad stock. mongrel, poor, even diseased. No man that pretends to any knowledge of stockraislng would think for an instant of taking such a calf, raising it, and breeding from it.
 The dearest thing to the parental heart is to have the chi:~-en marry well and rear a noble family. How short sighted is 1t then for such family to take into its midst child whose pedigree is absolutely unknown; or. where If it were partially known, the probabilities are strong that it would show poor and diseased stock, and that if marriage should take place between that individual and any member of the family the offspring would be degen- crates.
 Lest any reader should be disturped through fear that we are preparing to attack the plan of finding homes for the homeless. let me hasten to say that such is not the intenk But no cause, scientific or humane. ever prospers through ignoring the facts.
 What ought we to dor" Tn the first place, we ought to be honest. The
 writer knows of at least one institution whose policy used to be to place its girls out in families and conceal the true character of the girls. even when
 1t was known. But we trust that that practice has passed by. But we cannot
 stop here; we must use every means to learn all the facts before we place these
 children in the care Of other unsuspect-
 Ing fathers or mothers who are willing
 to take care of them and give them a home.

The Associated Charities

Many Birmingham citizens are not aware that the Associated Charities is an institution established for the express purpose of taking care of all beggars who apply to persons at their homes or validity of their appeals" said member or the finance committe of this organi- nation. which will conduct rapid cam raign next week for the raising of funds for next years budget.
 "The investigation Of each case that applies for aid of any kind eliminates the fraudulent beggar that usually infests | the southern cities in the winter and often times reveals many worthy families in l destitution that timely relief would l put upon their feet again.
 "The average man has no idea of the number of 'aristocratic beggars' who work their way from city to city on rail- read tickets given by unsuspecting peo- pie. on the plea that they are trying to reach a place to work or are too i'll to be engaged in labor Many of these travel in couples, who are liable to tell a different story if separated at the time of the questioning, and whose his tory follows them from city to city.
 But If families are needy and are deserving of help they are clothed, fed and given employment if they are phy- sically able to work In the matter of clothing children. the Associated Char ites organization is especially beneficial. Many of the poorer mothers who are em. ployed in the factories, hotels and other industries of the city cannot afford to buy shoes for their children in the cold est weather, as the money that they spent for shoes in summer must go to pay for coal in winter. So the Associated Charities are usually called upon to sup

Birmingham's New Postmaster

Truman H. Aldrich is by no means unknown in this district. He is, in fact, a prominent pioneer. He is a mining engineer and operator who has delved deep into Alabama's hidden re- sources, and success has oftentimes attended his efforts. And when Bir- mingham needed postmaster it is not strange that the republican referees turned to one who had all the years of his active life been repub- lican and a developer as well.
 It is hoped, however, that MT. Aldrich will pay small attention to politics when he takes hold of the home postoffice. What is needed in that office is organization and a su- pervision that reaches even to details. Scarcely any institution in a com- munity is as permeating as postof- flee, and the closer it is supervised the better will the people be served and the greater will be their satis- faction. Truman H. Aldrich can make the Birmingham postoffice a model, and it is a task that he should not fail to appreciate at it's true value. Few indeed have an opportunity to serve as many people as MT. Aldrich will have when he becomes postmas- ter of Birmingham.

Yale OarSmen Under
Hard Physical Test

NEW HAVEN. Conn, Jan. 22.-
Yale's rowing advisory committee,
which was chosen some time ago to
take charge of the campaign of 1911,
has adopted the policy of sending the
entire varsity crew squad to New
York city to undergo a physical exam
ination.
The first set Of oarsmen went there
today, and another batch has been or
dered there tomorrow. Captain Frost
went today with three other members
of the squad. Those that have been
ordered there tomorrow are Van Sim
deren, Field. Romeyn, Tucker. Buck
ingham, Paul, and Lowe, all football
players.
1t is not the belief that football has
already even partially crippled these
men, but Eale's oarsmen have gone
to pieces so badly in races the past
three years that no chances will be
taken.
Only oarsmen who are sound as a
dollar physically will be allowed to
compete in the grueling four
event.
The principle of examining Yale
oarsmen for heart and other organic
weaknesses is not new. For two years
1t has been enforced, but because the
best oarsmen in the boat have "caved"
during the races with Harvard the
idea of the oarsmen being examined
by New Haven doctors has been given
up and New York specialists will be
employed this year.
