When Miss Jackie vining went to
her room after her unsatisfactory at
tempt TO wiring from Bedight the name
OF the unconventional young woman
who walked with him in the moon
light, she was angry. And IL is pos
sible that, knowing his feelings to-
ward her she was angrier still because
with this influence she could not Sc
cure the confession she sought. II is
likewise true that she felt In her heart
that Bedight was right in protecting
the name of the girl and should be
eulogized rather than scourged for 1t
and yet, when a man has almost
told woman he loves her, she has a
right to expect that he will do almost
anything quasi-reasonable that she
asks of him. Failing to handle him
augurs complications for the future.
And most of us are alike in this,
that we love to appear melodramatic
to ourselves, doing all sorts of drastic
things that, slept over, we undo, say
ing things that we initiate with self at
the time being and stick a pin into
later when our ardor has cooled. In
this mood Jackie Vining seated her.

CHARACTER READING
BY the Nose. Very Important
Organ Says Hereward Car.
rington in McCIure's Maya
zine For October.

The Nose. This is a very important
organ, and indicates much as to the
character of its possessor. Broadly
speaking. it may be said that man or
a woman possessing large, prominent
nose is progressive, original and de
termined, and the type Of person most
likely to "get ahead" in the world.
Witness the great business ability and
practical character of the Jew. The
reverse of this naturally indicates a
backward, shrinking disposition. But
to these broad rales there are many ex
ceptions and qualifications, which we
must now study.
For instance, If the nose shows a
tendency to shrink or become verv
small at the point where it leaves the
fore head, THAT is between the eyes),
IL is often sign that lack of will power
is present. When the nose leaves the
forehead in one straight line, so that
there is no indention, this is sign of
selfish disposition. Other things being
equal, the more the nose rises after 1t
leaves the forhead, the greater the de-
gree of self will in the individual.
A straight nose indicates good judg.
ment, artistic talents, and sensibility.
If the nose is long and thin mot too
thin), it indicates tendency and taste
for philosophic studies; also literary
aptitude. Such a person might be a
good writer of poetry or of fiction. If
the nose is short and thick, it indicates
certain degree of self-esteem and
confidence. This is not so notable as
in the case when the nose is hooked,
however. Many such persons possess
a love of practical, ornamental work,
such as wood-carving. Long, straight
noses indicate, as a rule, a love Of
truth, and character of mind which is
not easily changed from its methods
and habits of thought.

SCARS THAT STAY ON Bod
Though the Idea of Regular Seven
Year Change Is Right, 1t Has
Its Limitations.

There are people who tell you that
everything in the body is changed
every seven years, and that there is
no part of it which was there seven
years ago. This does not mean that
we slough the whole thing off at
once, as a snake does its skin or a
deer it's antlers, but simple that the
innumerable and tiny atoms which are
used up by the daily wear and tear
are replaced by fresh atoms supplied
by our food and drink, which keep the
body going. just as coal and water
keep the steam-engine at work.
But these changes are so minute
and gradual that the form Of the body
remains the same. although such
things as scars take a long time to
disappear. and sometimes they re
main for life. although they always
lose great deal Of their prominence
You may have noticed that IL you
cut your finger lightly it will soon
heal up and the scar presently disap
pear, Just as the marks Of super
fetal burn will gradually go away;
but IL the cut is deep the scar re
mains. This is because 1t went down
to what is called the true skin. Any
cuts. stains, or. burns on the outer
skin are gradually pushed up and
worn or washed off. just as the hail
on the back of your hand wears of
without your cutting 1t and grows
again; but anything that. goes dowr
to the true skin. like tattoo marks
always remains.

Cbeaper Rent Promotes Growth

In Vancouver all taxes were taken off residential property within valua~ tions named by the city and this en- outraged low rents to such an extent that adjoining cities were disturoed by the growth of the new competitor.
 In Los Angeles corporation has been formed to build by the hundreds good modern four room houses with sleeping porches to be rented at $6.50 month. This price will enable the corporation to pay it's stockholders 5 per cent.
 When it is remembered that in this way $12O0 house could be built on S200 lot, the building of such houses by the hundreds becomes possible, because building on large scale would reduce the actual cost 10 per cent.
 Could houses attractive to the eye be rented at from S6 to S10 month the growth of any city, even Birming- ham, would be largely promoted Such houses are sorely needed in this city at this time-at all times for that matter. Many wage earner cannot afford to pay the rents now demand ed, and soon or later the plan adopted at Los Angeles will be applied to this community.
 The only difficulty in the way is to l find investors who would be content to accept per cent dividends on their investments.

OUR pERpLExiNG PRoNoUNs

Prof. Thomas R. Lounsbury. in Har-
 per's Magazine for November
 Many are the perplexities that con- front him who seeks to arrive at 4 satisfactory solution of problems com neoted with the different parts of our speech. This is largely due to the fac, that there has been but a comparative ly superficial investigation of the usage of the great writers of the Eng fish language. The accomplishment of such task Is out of the power of any one person to achieve. He may carry his investigations far enough to en- able him to recognize and demonstrate the falsity and frequently the absurd ity of assertions constantly and con fidently made. But only limited DOT tion. of the whole ground can be cov- cred by an individual. To arrive at correct conclusions on all disputed points would require the labor of band of scholars working in unison and systematically collecting and col lating the evidence gathered from the examination of the whole body of our best literature. This is a work which has never been done. So far, indeed.
 is 1t from having been done that it has never been even attempted. Yet until it is done the field is left open to every sciolist who has the effrontery to substitute his hastily formed mo- tions for the results of thorough in- yestigatio..
 Perplexing as are such questions in the case of every one of the parts of speech. those connected with the pro- noun are the greatest in number and difficulty. About none others have so many grammatical conflicts ragged. The problems presented have in certain cases never been settled decisively save in the minds of those who have scrupulously refrained from any at tempt to impair preconceived opinion by acquiring knowledge of disturbing fact.

Many Small Farmers

The increase of truck farming in the south means a great deal for this section. The more small farms we have in Alabama the faster will grow the wealth of the state.
 There has been marked influx of homeseekers within the past two or three years. These homeseekers come in most cases from the north. They have had truck farming experience and they buy small farms and culti- vate them. Baldwin county, across the bay from Mobile, is steadily filling up with an enterprising, sober and thrifty truck farming class. Many small farmers have recently settled in the northern part of Alabama. Lawrence county has attracted many of them and the Louisville and Nash vile railroad has started new move ment for bringing homeseekers to Cullman county.
 Jefferson county contains more truck farmers today than it did a year ago, but with well directed eff forts we would have 2000 truck farmers where we have only about 200 now. The Chamber of Commerce did . good thing when it started the farm

Howard R. Taylor, head of the nrm of Taylor & Co.,, the well known Balti- more bankers and Mokers, is registered at the Hotel Hillman. He is associated with Morris Brothers of Philadelphia m financing the Tidewater
 T am delighted with Birmingham and am greatly pleased with the progress of the work on the Tidewater line said MT Taylor last night This city has made wonderful strides even since l was last here about six months ago. We felt sat ished at the start that we had made good investment in backing MT. Dewpef- rvs enterprise and I now feel absolutely sure that we made no mistake. The work on the Tidewater has progressed most sat isfactorily. The company starts out with fine business with only small part of the road finished. The Tidewater Will soon be operating cars from East Lake. The future for us looks bright indeed.

movement. It would have been well if that work had been continued systematically as it began. This coun- ty, in addition to good soil for truck ing purposes, has, in Birmingham, the best market in the south. This large and growing city has to be fed largely by butter and eggs and poultry and fruits and vegetables shipped here from outside of Alabama. The small farmer is needed in this district and he will always find hospitable well come.
 The early winter is the time when new farm settlers usually come. It is the season when they prepare for spring crops. The coming winter will doubtless witness considerable addi- tion to our small farming population in northern Alabama.

What the Canal Will Do

The President is to be asked oy chambers of commerce in all parts or the country to speak of the canal at inc isthmus as the "American" canal, substituting that word for the word "Panama" now in common use. lnere is really no reason why this change in nomenclature should not be adopted even if the President is not wiling to accept it.
 But here in this district we are more concerned over the practical eXten- sion of the canal, or more accurately speaking of water transportation to this city. The tonnage of the district is put by Mr. VanHoose at 33,000,ooo annually. and the canal could handle 11.oOO ,O00 tons of this vast amount Ii slackwater navigation should by means of a short canal be extended to this city. The government has an officer who is studying the situation, and he keeps in touch with a commit tee appointed by the Birmingham Chamber of Commerce. The tonnage facts of this district arc to be brought out and laid before the authorities of the federal government at Wash ington.
 In the meanwhile let no one under rate the importance of the opening of the isthmian canal. The development of mills, mines, shops and factories III the south will exceed all that has been dreamed of in this section of the coun- try. "Every one of the states of the gulf will participate" says the Gin cinnati Enquirer, ''in the benefits which are sure to come when the flow of business once starts between the oceans, and the tides of trade will then be ceaseless in their bringing of rich rewards to all classes of our peo- nle p

Great Demand For Houses.

"Comparatively few people, perhaps, realize how rapidly Birmingham is grow ing" said A. R. Dearborn, the real es- tate man Newcomers are arriving fin great numbers every day. This city has been increasing in population fast since the last census was taken but the great est rush has been this fall.
 q put for rent signs on some houses the other day and the next morning when I reached my office prospective renters were standing in line. There was, in fact such crowd that it was as much as I could do to push through and get to my desk. People are coming here from every direction. I have just rented two houses adjoining each other, one to family from Ohio, and the other to a family from North Carolina.
 Not in the 26 years of my residence in Birmingham has there been such an active inquiry for rental property-resi- dence and mercantile. Never have l known such a rapid rate of growth as now

SINGING FOR DOLLARS

A Singer, Quoted in w. J. Henderson s
 New Novel, "The Soul of a Tenor" Published by Hall.
 Let me tell you something, my dear girl, it doesn't make an ounce of diff ference what these so-called critics say about an opera. They write lot or pretentious twaddle. Most of them haven't the faintest ide& of what 1t is that makes an opera a success IL the tenor and the soprano have plenty of good melody to sing and one or two lively love scenes with a corking cli- max, allegro con brio, with couple of B flats in it, and there is a fair amount of doings for the barytone and con tralto, plenty of loud music for the cho- rus and good ballet or procession, 1t is a tolerably safe bet that the opera will catch on. And that is what we are all in the business for. We are not there for psychology or imagina- tions or aesthetics. We are there to make the public shout and clap its hands, and hasten to put more dollars in the box office"

Twelfth Avenue Viaduct

The city commission did a good thing Tuesday when it directed City Attorney Boyd "to immediately take steps to compel the Illinois Central, Frisco and Southern railway com panies to build viaduct at Twelfth avenue and Twenty seventh street" as provided in an ordinance adopted in February last. The Southern Railway company has been ready to proceed with the work, it seems, but the other lines, according to statement made by representative of the Southern, had requested that the matter be passed by indefinitely.
 Public sentiment demands a viaduct not only on Twelfth avenue but at the Sloss furnaces.
 All the railroads entering Birming- ham are well officered and are serv- ing the business interests of this great industrial center well, but there is no good excuse for delay in con structing viaducts. The public has beer long suffering but it's patience is about worn out.
