This life is an experience tough.
Our grief il bids us nurse,
Although the snow is bad enough.
The thaw is something worse.
And then in such sorry plight
Our grammar we forget
There comes in one unhappy night
A freeze that's worser yeti

It was fresh meat train and it had fo reach Atlanta on time for refrigera tion, or it would all spoil. The law for bid that this train turn a wheel after o'clock on Sunday morning, and getuns a late start out of Birmingham, tht brave engineer said he could not make if but the determined conductor replied thai he must make it. The engineer said we may make 1t, but we will all be dead that we would surely so in the ditch The conductor told him to make the run on time or turn them all over, and that if he turned them over be sure that he was going fast enough to clear the right of way.
 The little engineer jumped Up in his cab and pulled the old ss as wide open as boot-isek. The conductor caught the little red caboore behind the train, and it was a sight to see that mighty nosul snorting through the land belch- ing forth solid stream Of smoke and fire.
 The farmers along the country side thought a great big cyclone was passing. but they got there and the train was saved. m
 Now, this conductor grew weary of the little red caboose behind the train and dreamed that he could sell furniture like he had once sold persimmone and light wood splinters from hts fathers farm when he was a boy. His wonderful de- termination asserted itself and he started a little two by four business. Many thought he could not make H. that he started too late but those who knew him best predicted that he would get there. Tfis ambition was to conduct the largest furniture establishment in Birmingham. The run has been made. and he has regis tered his name on the largest furniture building, not only in Birmingham. but in the south This building Is under con- stYuction at 1gi4-1s Fourth avenue.
 W. o. BROYLES got there as condue- tor and he has arrived as A furniture man. Let. see how he did it. The engineer on the meat train was afraid to start on the run, because steam was low, but the conductor told him that the pressure would increase with momentum, and 1t did. Now, this conductor was told you can't succeed in the furniture business you haven't enough money. His answer was: I will make money as l grow, and he did it. The growth of this conductor s business has been as marvellous as the speed of the belated meat train was switt' Everybody likes the man that gets there, 1t was ". O.

was out doors, Dr. Titus thought they were testing. When he learned that the governor was really at his door, he spared no time in getting to work. Although hot ster and other necessities we're not at hand at the moment, he was able to dress the wound in two hours. The governor said 1t was long time to wait and that the job might have been done in 15 min utes on other occasions" but he agreed with the doctor that it was best to do the work thoroughly"
 Most of the campaigning Governor Will son has done since he ran for governor two years ago has been by automobile. but this was his first accident.
 The governor will close his campaign tomorrow night with speeches in Passaic and Patterson, N. J., speaking on be- half of the democratic legislative ticket.
 'I'll feel conscious of the galleries when I speak said the governor, as he thought Of the bald spot and strip of plaster on his head, but the lower tiers won't see it.

Brave Engineer Loses His Nerve.
 Determined Conductor Saves the Train

1 furniture business in the city to tn, largest
 1 Now, maybe you would like to know how l 1t happened. It was this way: He won hold his goods for a price. His policy is to make g out of two men, instead of Si out of one man. That. only not helps him but helps the customer. If an article is worth s30, and you have not got but s12 or si5, you get it just the same. He knows good furniture, only buys the best and guarantees every article exactly as represented.
 On account of the immense amount Of business he does he has been awarded the contract to handle many of the most noted brands Of house furnishing goods that are produced in the United States. He has corps of salesmen who are as polite as jumping jacks, and they have been trained up to manifest pleasure in showing goods.
 As Birmingham grew and spread, MT Broyles saw the necessity of automobile trucks to facilitate delivery Many ad- vised him that 1t was too expensive. To them he answered nay and blazed away. Others are now following. As fashions originate in Paris, prices on house fur nishings are set at " O. BROYLES. MIR. business for others have to live, but he Is determined to set and regulate low prices on furniture in Birmingham, and you may put that fact in your pipe and smoke it.'
 W. O. BROYLES has been besieged to discontinue lowering the prices on furni- ture, that his methods would Kill the luc- rativeness of his competitors. but he is a progressive furniture man, and thinks more of the interests of the many people than he does of the few dealers.
 Now, remember. furniture purchaser, if you do not go to furniture headquarters and get prices before you buy you do yourself and family injustice. Of course this does not apply to those who would care to pension some particular firm.
 That's live and courteous set at Dl7-19 Third avenue, and if you have not been there you ought to pay them visit They will get the prices down to you until 1t Is absolutely ridiculous. and when they get into their big new store on Fourth avenue they will simply set the woods on fire, and there will be fine furniture for everybody. and if you have pride and want fine furniture without much money 1t will be there for you. So don't forget the man and the .place-old stand al7-1s Third avenue, new stand 1H4-fS Fourth enue.-Advertisement

-~--->~~- largest majority of electoral votes given to any candidate since before the civil war" said Chairman McCombs in the democratic forecast.
 They will receive also the largest popular vote ever given political party in the history of the United States. They will carry not less than 40 of the 4s states, and are likely to carry them all A unanimous vote in the electoral col lege will not surprise any man who has seen the confidential reports to demo- cratic headquarters in the last days of the campaign.
 Congress will be democratic in both branches The lower house will not contain more than 100 of the combined opposition and in the south the demo- crats will gain more than the 10 seats necessary to wipe out the republican majority. The same sentiment that is sweeping Wilson into executive author ity will back him up with legislative power to do the things the people de- mand." f

 Approximately o,U00,0oo votes wall De cast for Roosevelt and Johnson out of a total vote of IS. 900 ,000," he said.

Minnesota

St. Paul, Minn., November 3,--The cam paign in Minnesota to all intents and pur- poses closed last night with the winding dup of the trip of the Taft special in Min neapolis. The republicans did little in the way of spirited campaigning until week ago when they sent a special train over the state distributing Taft literature and manned by Taft orators.
 The result in Minnesota. according to eleventh hour predictions lies between Governor Wilson, and Colonel Roosevelt although it Is believed by astute polti- clans that President Taft has made sub stantial gains in the last three days. Taft adherents have confidence in the silent vote.
 All three of the leading parties lay claim to the state.
