A Wonderful Record

1.-THE most wonderful building record in
the history of the south will be that Of
Birmingham this year." said we'll in
formed real estate man. 1T seems that
there is to be no end of what Birmingham
will accomplish this year, and now comes
the latest and one of the most important
announcements-the purchase of the Wiz
son building as the site of the jefferson
County Savings banks new home. That
will be an ideal bank building corner.
There is ground floor room for a great
bank; the building is on the northwest
corner which is the desirable exposure,
with the main offices in the shade in the
afternoon and it is the very heart of the
business district
II have been talking with Mr. Enslen,
the president of the bank, and he assures
me that everything modern in equipment
and finishing will be used in this build
| ing. These announcements should mean a
wonderful impetus to the bank itself. I
expect to see it grow rapidly in deposits.
1t has always been one of the strongest
banks of the city. conservative and well
managed The increase in the capital
stock and the plans for the new building
will bring much additional business to
the bank"

POET AND BOXER

From the Commercial Tribune.
This is surely queer old world
man is never satisfied with being what
he is. The poor man wants to be rich,
the rich man envies the appetite OF the
laborer Eddie Foy wants to play Ham
let. while the tragedian is positive he
should have been a comedian.
| And now comes another one of those
freak transpositions-the dreamy and
poetic Maeterlinck has turned boxer;
while the agile and pugnaeious Kid
Mccoy has turned author. Each Is
| alarmingly certain that he is now happy
| because he Is what he Is not.
Imagine Maurice Maeterlinek as the
white hope pitted beneath July sun
against the brunette Jackson. Even
| Cyrano would have to look to his
laurrels as the poetic fighter would i'm
provise a priceless gem just before de-
livering the staggering jab or the dead
lily uppercut. That famous scene of
Rostands would surely be eclipsed.
But while Mr. Kid Mccoy has turned
author it is hardly fair to claim that he
has scaled Parnassus. II would be
strictly inaccurate to say that he has
become a poet to make up the loss of
Maurice. He has s.1'ply adopted liter
allure as a profressic.l, with headquar-
ters at the Hoted Cecil, London. Here
enseonced in his health college" he is
handing out such daring flights of inn
agination as these: "A vile temper
terminates poisons in the blood
Drink two quarts of water a day and
you will find no wrinkles on your
face"
1t is not given to us to pass upon the
merits of Kid Maeterlinck as a prize
fighter. Probably that had best be sub
