MAKING ROOM FOR
 TUTW|LER HOTEL
Began Demolishing Build ings at Twentieth and
 Fifth Yesterday

Actual work of demolishing the buildings on Twentieth street to make room for the new s1,O0o0oo Tutwiler hotel started yesterday and will be rushed to make ready for the founda ton contractor A contract for the ex- csvatlons has been let and no time will be wasted in getting that work under way.
 The restaurant on the corner of Twentieth street and Fifth avenue. the last business tenant to vacate, has secured a place on Twentieth street formerly occupied by a restaurant and will move there at once.
 The work of demollshing the build ings marks the second million dollar hotel to be started in Birmingham this year. Work on the Roden hotel has progressed very favorably and within a short time the handsome Roden res idence will be no more. The buildings on Twentieth street used for stores were only placed on the site tempor- arily as it was the general opinion that sooner or later a hondsome hotel would be placed there.
 With the beginning of the two ho- tels comes a faint glimpse of the actual realization of dreams on the part of Birmingham people that the inadequate hotel facilities for this city would be remedied Many conventions and many prominent people have refused to come to Birmingham because of the inability of the citizens of Birmingham to prom ise suitable hotel accommodations.

COmmendable Religion.

We want a religion that softens
the step, and tunes the voice to mel
ody,an fills the eye with sunshine,
and checks the impatient exclamation
and harsh rebuke-a religion that is
polite, deferential to superiors, cour-
teous to interiors and considerate to
friends; religion that goes into the
family and keeps the husband from
being cross when the dinner is late
and keeps the wife from fretting
when he tracks the floor with his
muddy boots, and makes him mind
full of the scraper and the door mat;
keeps the mother patient when the
baby is cross, and amuseS the chill
dren as well as instructs them; cares
for the servants besides paying them
promptly; projects the honeymoon
into the harvest moon, and makes the
happy home like the Easter fig tree,
bearing in its bosom at once the
beauty of the tender blossom and the
glory of the ripened fruit. We want
religion that shall interpose be-
tween the ruts and the gullies and
the rocks of the highways of life, and
the sensitive souls who are travelling
over them.

THE TURTLE.
criticism.

The turtle is a bone-headed indi-
vidual who was born into this world
for the sole purpose of perpetuating
the soup industry. He is built into
neat waterproof case with slate
roof, and mas neck with three
speeds forward and one reverse.
Whenever the turtle sees somebody
coming whom he does not care to
mingle with, he folds up his neck and
leaves it lying around on the side
board for hours at a time. There
are two kinds of turtle-green and
mock. The green turtle is a verdant
proposition which will bite on any
thing from a spoon hook to a cold air
register, and he is about as volatile
and elusive in his movements as a
motor truck. He has better
physique than the rest of his family,
and frequently weighs 800 pounds
prior to being husked Scientists
claim that the mind of the green tur-
tie comes nearer to being total
blank than that of any other sensate
being on earth, unless it is that of
witness for the defense in a trust
prosecution. The mock turtle is a
hollow joke which is used to pad out
a lean menu and make it sound like
a $1.50 plate. 1t is related by mar
riage to the green turtle, but the two
families have very little to do with
each other in social way. The
mock turtle generally comes in the
form of canned soup and can he had
in nine different flavors, from pepsin
to blood orange. 1t is called mock
turtle soup on account of the COM
ments of guests who are not favor
ably impressed with the way it SETS
The turtle dove is the only member
of this family which shows and vocal
ability. 1t is lugubrious bird with
mellow baritone voice and limited
repertoire of funeral chants People
who inhale the music from a turtle
dove for any length of time become
low-spirited enough to go out and
assault a hen roost. Turtles live for
hundreds of years and carry around
on their backs monograms etched by
the swains of other days.

Look Here Rows.

1t has been most truly stated, Dis
tance lends enchantment," and the
city looks well from the old farm.
Perhaps you do not see thorns and

thicker than on the farm. Home dis
cipline may be hard to bear, but in
1t are gems OF all successes Parents
are midway in the temple of life, and
certainly must know more than those
standing on the threshold. 1t is al
ways safe to listen to the voice of
wisdom and affection. You may not
be permitted to control all things at
home, but please remember before
seeking the large liberty of the city
that you can control nothing there
You may wear store clothes, but you
must be the servant of ALL Liberty
