AGREE INFORMALLY ID TAKE ANIMALS Meeting in Interest of Zoo Will Be Held at City
 Hall Today

The city commission at it's meeting yes- terday afternoon informally agreed to ac- cept any animals which the Birmingham Railway. Light and Power company might buy and donate to the city for the nu- cleus of zoo. Informally, also, the city agreed to take care of the animals.
 Nothing in reference to location was determined, and before final decision is made, residents from various sections of the city will be heard from. The chances are, however, that Avondale park will eventually be selected as the home of the zoo, for the commission has already passed a resolution providing for the em- ployment of a keeper for that park at a salary of from $50 to se5 per month.
 The commission was very anxious that 1t be made plain that it's action was en. tirely informal.
 In connection with the zoo a meeting of all those interested has been called at the city hall for this morning at Il o'clock. The following call was issued by Frank w. Smith, member of the park commits sion:
 "A meeting of all persons interested in u puDliC ZOOlosiNti. BhioCh the city will be held at the city hall next Saturday morning, october 12. at Il o'clock.
 ''It is proposed to form a Geological Garden association to take charge, under the direction of the city commission and park commission. and help upbuild . creditable institution for the benefit and entertainment of the public.
 '"rhe advantages, not only to the pub lie and the children, but as well for ad- vertising the city as an attractive place In which to live, have been demonstrated and arc well known.
 Already a very valuable collection of animals and birds has been offered gratis, so 1t is very important to complete the plans at the very earliest moment"

APOEM OF MOTHERHOOD

Her babe was, dead 'twere better so.
1t died without name,
Not one in that great city knew
Her glory, nor her shame
Alas her shame, for what flor love?
Before she understood?
She trusted, too, was this her shame?
Her crown was motherhood.
Her babe was dead, what need to mourn:
Her guilt was buried now,
If one dark sin was on her soul,
No stain was on her brow.
Ali who shall say if deep within,
Her mother heart was rent:
If bursting there within her breast,
Aflood of grief was pent?
Give backl'' she cried, Give me my child
And give the world my shamel
Give to me back my motherhood
And give me all the blamel
Give back to me the joy felt
Give me the pangs bore,
Give back my child" her tears fell fast,
Il want ask no more
The morning broke, SO calm she lay
Sleep held her wearied eyes,
She saw her babe in angel arms
She dreamed of Paradise.
II thank thee, Lord her lips scarce moved,
II saw my baby smile,
l know that thou did'st ope the gates
For just little viii e.
Her voice came soft. the Fathe. heard
Beyond the gates above:
Dear Lord. thou hast fathers heart,
Dost know a mothers love?
Where thou art shall never pc,
know that am vile.
Dear Lord, thou wilt not shut the gates
For just little while?''
Still in her dreams she gently spoke;
ITO me great joy is given,
l know my child is safe with thee
Safe in thy fold-in Heaven.
For can see my baby there,
My grief it shall beguile,
Dear Lord, pray, swing wide the gates
For just little while.
''Fain would look that blessed sight,
To my sin-burdened eyes.
I see glory far away
The streets Of Paradise,
Where my poor feet shall never tread
Nor aught that can def1le
My babel My child Hold back the gates
For just little while. 2
Who knows? Ii fell upon her ear
A voice SO faint-so sweet?
Who knows? If in her dreams she heard
The patter eff little feet
So peaceful now-so beautiful
No guilt was there to chide,
A light from heaven shone on her face
The gates were open wide.
The above, also written by Col
Smith, was handed in by one Q.
our lady readers, and should have
