Several people hurrying across the street narrowly missed being struck by the wire as it fell and others following soon after carelessly lifted their feet and stepped over it thinking it was a cable or some- thing being used by the gangs of workmen who are digging trenches along the street there.
 Somebody on the sidewalk first mo- ticed that the wire had dropped from the trolley guys overhead At that in- stant a very corpular man, whose mid dle section was patterned apparetly very carefully after w. H. Tafts anatomy was just in the act of stepping over the live wire.

 $4OO,OOO ON GOOD ROADS

Selma, October 23.-(Special. 1.-The good road system in Dallas county, which was mapped out nearly three years ago by w. S. Keller, who at pres ent fills the office of state highway engineer. will practically be completed by the beginning of the next year. Mir Keller came to Selma as road engineer of Dallas county from Jackson county, Tennessee. Later he resigned and went 10 Dakota and then returned to Alabama to take his present office.

 Hundreds of miles of roads are needed and have been asked for by the resi- dents of the county, but they will not be built for months.

 Hearing

New York, October 23.-When the International Harvester company the so-called harvester trust" was formed in 1902, its organization was made mp of directors. some of whom held of fees not longer than twenty-four hours, according to several witnesses, who tes- tified today, when hearings were begun here in the governments suit to dis solve the Harvester company. Their connection, however, was long enough,
 the testimony ran, for them to aid in
 the purchase of independent companies,
 which formed the combination.
 One of these directors was R. E. M, Cravath. who resigned after one day s
 directorship. He testified that his finan-
 cial assistance to the trust" was the
 purchase of the Minnie Harvester com-
 pany for nearly one million dollars, this
 company later passing into the control
 of the trust"
 Abram M Hyatt, vice president of
 the Lincoln Trust company. was an-
 other witness who testified he was a
 director for day only, while E. M F.
 Miller. a Wall street broker, declared
 he was the first president of the liar vester company, although he had never been in the business non held connec- ton with a Harvester company prior to his election.
 One of the witnesses said George W Perkins suggested his election, but he did not recall who asked him to re- sign, while other witnesses said they could not remember who suggested either their election or resignation MT. Miller said he was sure he held office as president longer than twenty four hours. He had never expected Ehe declared, to have permanent connec- ton with the company either as presi- dent or director.
 MT. Cravath. a Wall street banker said that when elected a director, he expected to continue as a member oi l the board, but the very next day was asked to resign. In purchasing the ldid not act independently, but at tho instruction of others, and that he thought he borrowed s94@000 from the
 Bankers Trust company, with which to purchase the stock.
 Joseph r. Gotten, Jr., Wall street lawyer who said he attended to mat ters of detail in the incorporation ci the company testified that at meet ing of the stock holders in August, 1902 he held proxies for about 99 per cent of the shares and voted them under in struetion from the voting trustees, who. he said were George w. Perkins, Cyrus H. Mccormick and Charles Deer ing. It was at this meeting, the wit- ness testified, that permanent oHleefs and directors were elected.

PEOPLE CARELESSLY STEP
 OVER BROKEN TROLLEY WIRE

Look outm yelled the man on she sidewalk.
 The fat map took another step for ward. turned around and looked back The fellow on the sidewalk was stand ing pointing into the middle of the street at the fat mans feet, while his knees were shaking as if he had the ague.
 The fat man followed the point until his eyes met the wire he had just stepped over. How he stopped when he reached the opposite sidewalk is a problem for a body of his weight go- ing at the speed he went, gathers enor- nous momentum. However, the fact remains as the eighth wonder of the world that he stopped without running through a plate glass window and as he stopped a crowd of specta- tors gathered to see what he was flee ing from.
 Soon after a negro lineman of the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company arrived and setting a glass legged stool in the middle of the street he carefully mounted it and as care fully grasped the broken trolley. He tied a rope to it and drew it off the ground and soon after the emergency wagon arrived and repaired the break

Wishes Are Wings
Wishes are wings.

Wishes are wings.
Upon them we mount to what
heights we will.
The boy who longs for the sea
and whose heart leaps at the roar
of the breakers and thrills at sight
of sail is building his own ship.
The youth who sits by the words
of the orator and makes the soli-
tude eloquent with his own decla-
nations is erecting his own ros-
trum or pulpit.
The child Napoleon playing
ceaselessly with his wooden SOL
diers was making new map of a
continent.
Opportunity? 1t is generated
within himself.
Environment? Soul purpose
goes through that as a flame goes
through a sheet of tissue.
But the wish must be genuine,
soul deep.
The artist cannot by mere wish
ing have the colors arrange them
selves upon his canvas. The wish
must be virile enough to be a
source Of ceaseless effort and :con-
summate skill.
We become what we wish to be-
come and we do what we wish to
do, not through wishes that are
shallow and fleeing fancies, but
earnest, contant warnings of the
soul.
The scientific theory regarding
the evolution of the eagle is sug-
gestive. The dream of fight was
there before the wings. Through
generations of ceasdless longing,
slow but sure development and
adoption went on until at last the
eagle on mighty pinions scared
triumphantly aloft toward the sun.
There is hardly any obstacle,
hardly any limitation that mind
cannot o, eccome.
Soul will find its own as surely
and as irresistably as the homing
dove finds its cote, and the seed
shoot the light it seeks.
