TIE A. B. GIRL.

Her gown is lovely creation
The smile on her face Is gla1
Her hesom is filled with elation
Because she's sweet girl grad.
fhe essay she reads is a dandy,
Most learned we ever have heard:
You'd think she would never eat candy
And never by true love be stirred.
Her language is polished and flowing,
The thoughts she expresses are wise,
The crowd is amazed at her knowing
The truth mid a tangle of lies.
Her wit and her grace and her beauty
Are truly beyond all compare,
The which she forgets, while of duty
She talks with a ponderous air.
No wonder we soon fall to thinking
or what she will do for the world,
Perhaps will redeem 1t from drinking
Or march forth with banner unfurled
To lead in the battles of lifting
Humanity nearer the stars,
With manifold purposes Citing
Whenever an obstacle bars
But, pshaw! there's a little god waiting,
With a wonderful light in his eyes;
His frolic mood scarcely abating,
His arts he successfully plies.
The maiden, for all of her learning,
Finds Love is far stronger than she,
And will care, when his flame starts 4
burning,
Not fig for her high destiny.

Chairman Slms, RcnOri

THAT was a very exhaustive and al
exceptionally able report prepared by Mi
Harry Upton Sims for the Chamber ot
Commerce on the present financial con-
dition of the city of Birmingham, printed
in full in Sundays Age-Herald," said d
professional man. "Mr. Sims not onlJ
assembled important data but he showed
great capacity for presenting facts il
their true relation.
I'm touching upon the question of re-
ducing the county of jefferson to almost
the territorial limits of the city of Bir-
mingham Mr.. Sims said thar many In
conveniences would accrue Several cities
throughout the country, notably, San
Francisco and Richmond, he says, are
counties in themselves and their expert
ences should be carefully investigated
before the plan is followed by Birming-
ham,.
Il am not familiar with San Fran
cisco's system of government but I an,
familiar with the Virginia system, which
separates all cities from counties. In Vir-
ginia every community of 5000 is eligible
to apply to the legislature for city
from the county in which it had beer
situated and which, of course, continues
to bound it.
Not only is the city of Richmond abb
solutely Independent of the TWO counties
which surround it-Henrico and Ches-
terfield-but all other cities are equally
independent. The Virginia system works
admirably and 1 have often wondered
why all states did not have the same

'Mr. Bibbles just managed to get this

uncertainty toward the stairs he tripped
on a toy train belonging to his little son
and measured his length on the floor.
Mrs. Bibbles rushed down the stairs
having been awakened from her slumbers
by the noise of Mr.. BIBLES fall.
Are you hurt dear?" she asked her
lord.
Nope, m'dear," answered Mr. Bibbles,

Vacation Thoughts

II have been looking forward to a va
cation this summer with keen anticipa-
ton" said a young citizen.
1T had been my intention of spending
about a week or 10 days in some small
Alabama town situated near a river. or
lake where the fishing is good and boat
ing and swimming are to be had How
ever, since reading of the beautiful lakes
! and shady dells in Wisconsin my mind is
in turmoil and I am beginning to think
that Alabama fishing has not as much
! attraction as fishing in the north. The
writer of Vacation Land'-a book which
contains much vacation lore-is a consum-
mate artist with words. The pictures he
draws, using no other paint than a large
variety of adjectives. are enough to make
James Montgomery F'lagg turn green with
| envy. And longing to be in the coun-
try which he describes begins to make
one wish that he had been born to a
life of leisure instead of the drab, uninter-
esting and irksome round of daily toll.
This word artist gives vent to his
! marvellous imagination in a beautiful pic
| ture. Here is what he says in part:
Northern Wisconsin! Ten minutes after
the porter's brushing we are in a new
world-a world remote and aloof; with
hurry and worry, noise and CRIME, many
miles behind us. We had never known,
or had forgotten, that the earth held
places breathing such repose.
| In the sweet, pine-scented air we
drive through miles of forest stretches,
belts of virgin timber alternating with
cut-over lands, where the havoc of the ak
is screened by a luxuriant growth OF
vigorous young trees and a kindly mantle
of green. We pass dim old logging trails,
| reminiscent of the sturdy life of the lum-
| ber camps, leading no one knows whittier,
| hung with vines and carpeted with brakes
and blueberries. Ever and anon we catch
through the green, gimpses of mirror
like lake, trimmed with silvery birches,
its shores as often as not, innocent OF
| camp or cottage. We halloo joyously to
| the rapt fisherman that floats on it's sur
face with his eyes fixed on the point OF
| his rod as if it were the finger of des-
tiny.
| " There is no dust en- the rarely trav-
eled highway along which we jog peace
| fully and not in a days journey does
| an automobile invade our paradise to in
| suit us with it's rush or to smite our
! indignant ears with it's insolent honk. The
insstent call of the strenuous world oil
| work and society no longer sounds In our
ears We are happy fugutives from the
| bondage of routine, from the tedious and
| conventional, and we are entering the
| forest Of Arden in q blackboard"

War and Peace

1--WE hear much about peace conferences
and peace movements, but will the time
come in this century when bloody war
will be all but impossibe?'' remarked
an old citizen. The Hague tribunal may
minimize the chances of war, but one of
the bloodiest of conflicts was that in
the Balkan states.
Education should do much in this en-
lightened age to humanize nations and
groups of individuals. The new social
service about which we hear so much
may tend to make men better, but 1t must
be discourasing to reformers In England
and this country to see the Turbulent
spirit in evidence whenever there is a
general labor strike or heated political
campaign. 1t is heartenipg fact. how
