All the world may love a lover; but doesn't all mankind love a prattling child? Even royalty has been known to bow down to prattling innocence. A story is told Of the empress of Rus sia being so impressed by 8 little school girl that she sent for her to come to see her. and as a token of her admiration she told the little miss she would give her anything she might ask for. thinking perhaps 1t might be a doll or a dress or a trinket; but the child said she wanted French taught in her school. This was an amazing request from one so young and seem ingly immature, and with some hest- tancy the empress granted the request. It seems as If God sometimes speaks to men out of the mouths of the inno cents and yet, there Is a danger point right here which must be guarded against-the tolerance of cunning" ways which may not only become in tolerable, but spell the ruin of the developing man or woman and misery for all concerned. Man may find joy in innocence, but 1t was not destined to be worshipped. It takes experi- ence to develop manhood, and plenty of It.

A distinauished writer saYs: "Tf

A distinguished writer says: There is one nature common to us all. We see by one light; we grope in the same mist. Why should we be so hard with one another?" Well, why should we" This same writer says: "A little kind ness will move mountains and for lack of it we must call out regiments.
 Men can profess goodness better than they can live it. Man has for ages been trusted with power and he still makes a bad use of it. Getting money appears to be more important after 1000 years of divine light than getting goodness. It has been emblazOned on the very heavens for more than twenty centuries that love overcometh evil, and man declines to believe it. He who spake as no man ever spoke did not wrangle but put forth the truth. but we see his followers debating and splitting hairs. Man believes easily,

THE MAN WHO TALKS

Early the other morning 1 was greeted by a flock of chickadees in the Siberian crab-apple tree-a company of chubby. pretty birds. Thoreau used to like to meet them in his walks be- cause they were so tame that they seemed social. It is good to see them cleaning up the trees in which they are as lively as a nuthatch destroying the eggs of moths and spiders. And they have a musical note which Thoreau refers to as silver tinlzling,'' and Ab- bolt speaks of as being bell-like. Chickadees are among the birds whose note Is it's name-his chick-a a-dee-dee is his full Identification. sort of per sonal introduction-color and form are secondary to this. He Is so suggestive of winter storms and snowbanks that he gives some persons chill, but | always regard him as a welcome and agreeable visitor. He doesn't patron ize the free-lunch counter in winter as often as other birds, for he prefers to earn his living. He keeps the bugs down.

There are maiden ladies who ike 10 be called spinsters rather than o'd maids, and in this they show excellent taste; but there was a time when splnster was something more than an empty title. This title originated in the rigid laws of d sterner day-a day when no woman was allowed to marry until she had spun full set of linen. Thatfs where the spinster was brought out to become charming bride at the altar. Ability to produce raj ment was a legal requirement for mar riage. It doesn't seem now as if theft could ever have been such an age That law, like a good many other good and wholesome laws, became a dead letter and spinster fell to representing a condition instead of an ability. You see, it is a degraded title and only means left over" In its modern use. But that isn't the worst fate that can befall a woman

That as result of leasing it's eonvicts, about 1000 in number, the state ,eceives a net profit of only about s192. .6i7n per annum, whereas it is generally believed that the yearly gain equals nearly half a million, is a statement contained in an interview given yesterday by J.

 Major German declares the net profit less than s2OO,O0O per annum because of his belief that the following expenses should be charged to the disbursements of the convict department-feeding pris- oners, removing prisoners solicitors sal aries in excess of fees, and at least one half of the salaries paid judges of iaiaor and of the supreme courts.

 For some years past I have beeen interested in municipal government and have given the matter much serious consideration. That the people of Bir- mingham were not satisfied with the old aldermanc system of city govern ment was evidenced by the overwhelm- ing vote cast for the commission form of government I am also convinced that the commission form of govern ment as now constituted is not giving the satisfaction to the public that. its advocates so loudly claimed.

The Two Objections

"S. Have referendum features.
 The Two Objections
 "'rhe chief objection to the alder manic system seems to have, been that it was too large and unwieldy, that the aldermen worked without pay and that there was no way to get rid of an undesirable alderman.
 "The chief objection to the commis- sion form of government seems to be that the suburbs have no representa- ton and that the legislative, executive, and judicial departments are mixed up so as to destroy the main features of the plan of American government, talk ing away the check that the one would have on the other and thereby tending tosdeprive the people of a safe and sound system of government as ad- vocated by Jefferson.
 Tt seems to me that the plan I have suggested might meet the criti- cisms of both the aldermanic and com mission form of government, correct some of the apparent defects of both and return to the people form of gov ernment in which all parts of the city will be represented and share in the making of laws, the enforcement of laws. and last but not least, share in the distribution of public improve ments, police and fire protection.
 You can call this an aldermanfc form of government or a commission form of government; for there is noth- ing in the name. What the people want in this great and growing city is form of government where all parts of the city are represented and all of the Improvements and service de- rived from the peoples money may be equally distributed"
