From the Bookman.
Just before Christmas a member named
Scott said one day:
MT. Clemens, you have an extra over
coat hanging in the coatroom. I've got
to attend my unces funeral and it's rain
ing very hard. I'd like to wear it,"
The coat was an old one, in the pockets
of which Clemens kept "a melancholy as
sortment of pipes, soifed handkerchiefs,
neckties, letters, and what not.
Scott he said. ''if you won't lose any
thing out of the pockets of that coat you
may wear it,
An hour or two later Clemens found n
notice in his mail box that a package for
him was in the office. He called for II
and found a neat bundle which somehow
had "a Christmas look. He carried it up
to the reading room with snowy air.
Now, boys" he said, you may make
all the fun of Christmas you like; but
it's pretty NICE after all, to be remem-
bered."
They gathered around and he undid the
package. 1t was filled with the bipes,
soiled handkerchefs and other articles
from the old overcoat. Scott had taken
special precautions against losing them
Mark Twain regarded them in silence,
then he drawled:
"Well-damn Scott. l hope his uncle $
funeral will be a failure"

EVILS oE TIPPING

Richard Barry in Everybody's Magazine.
Practically all the hotels of all the large
cities rent out their cloak room and hat
room privileges. Their extra income from
this source ranges from 5000 to $4,000 a
year, TO get that back, and as much
or more in profits, the concessonaire
must become Fagin in training his boys
in the art of acquiring the property of
others. The Sc a week minions of the
cloak and hat room trust are ptiful prod
ucts of the system. The generous weak
nGan who submits without resistance, and
the ignorant man who believes that the
tip he bestows goes to the sad faced BOY,
alike never know that the little pockets
are sewn up and that the ferrety little
eyes, smilingy evil before their time, are
surreptitiously consulting the table which
publishes the amount of the extortion eX-
pected from them that day.
Why hotel that asks and receives So
a day for room and 10 cents for boiled
egg should go this way about to add a
few thousand dollars to its annual profits,
already swollen, is problem in the high
er mathematics of greed beyond elucida-
tion here

FOLLY OF NETTING

From the Kansas City Star.
William B. Trembley, the swimming hero
of Funston's regiment in the Philippines.
visited New Orleans with friend while
city clerk of Kansas City, Kan Riding
down Dauphine street one morning the
friend was boasting how he would bank
fupt the bookmakers. Looking up from
the paper he was reading Trembley saw
a boulevard ahead marked "Oleander
Way"
You beat the races.' he exclaimed.
why. I'll bet you $40 you can't guess the
name of that street yonder"
The friend looked ahead and saw the
sign. ''Fll take you, even money! he
said TITS Oleander way, you rumniy
there's the sign
80 it is said Trembley, but you
oushnt to believe in signs. Look here
Trembley, being a city clerk, naturally
was attracted by a column story of the
proceedings of the New Orleans council
on the night before. Right in the lead
paragraph he showed his friend the tragic
evidence-the passage of an ordinance
changing the name of Oleander way to
jackson boulevard.

THE SOBER SECOND THOUGHT

From the Minneapolis Journal
Frederick Palmer, writing from Sofia
capital of the victorious Bulgars, says
that instead of cheering crowds in the
streets and Inspiring singing of the ma
tional anthem in the cafes, there Is a
sober quiet. The people are ponderins
the cost of the war in the lives of the
valuable workers slain, in the destruc-
tior of property, in broken homes and
MANNED husbands and sons, in the drain
on resources and financial credit, in the
famine. pestience and poverty that stalk
behind the conquering hosts, in the I'M
paired vitality of the nation which it will
take at least a generation to recover
These are the things that the war
jingoes do not consider. These are the
things that those who love the pomp
and circumstances of glorious war do not
take into their childish thought. The
Bulgarian people are wiser now. They
have given the flower of their young man
hood to death, they have poured out their
blood and treasure like water. Perhaps
it was necessary. But at its best war is
iiiSnilui, mucous, pdipdrous' .hc Siiic
of humanity. And as the years go by it
is becoming more and more unnecessary.
There may, indeed, be cases in which 1t
still seems necessary, but we may thank
God and take courage that they are
growing fewer
Mr.. Palmer declares that instead of
exuting mildly the Bulgarians are So
hprIy planninp 70 DerDetuate their
achievements in just and lasting peace.
This is the best news that has yet come
from the seat of war.

Staunton's Distinguished Sons

The little city of Staunton, Va.,-
population about 12,000-is distin-
guished not only as the birthplace of
President-elec Woodrow Wilson but
as the birthplace and home of two of
the great scientists of the industrial
world-Charles Catlett, chemist and
geologist, and John Jermain Porter,
metallurgical engineer.
Mr.. Catlett has done vast amount
of field work in the Birmingham dis
trict and is regarded as one of the
highest authorities in geology and
coke making economies in the United
States.
Mr.. Porter, a much younger man
than Mr.. Catlett, is widely known in
metallurgical specialization. In the
January number of the Iron Trade Re-
view of Cleveland-a splendid statisti-
cal publication-Mr Porter contrib
utes Is page article, handsomely
| illustrated, on "The A B C of Iron
and Steel" 1t is an exhaustive paper
and while it is, in the nature of things,
technical to some extent it's style is
so attractive as to make it easily
within the comprehension of the aver
age reader. .
Mr.. Porter received his technology
cal education at the University of Gin
cinnati and the greater part of his
practical experience was obtained at
furnace plants in Virginia. In 1906
and 1907 he was assistant to Mr..
Catlett at Staunton. Good for old

A REGULAR OLD sHERLocK

From the Chicago Record Herald
Poor girl!' said the general manag ger
as the young woman who had just applied
for position as stenographer walked out
of his office.
whats her trouble?n asked his secre-
tary.
ITS too bad that girl who is so pret-
ty-one who might be living in luxury
is compelled to so out looking for work
because she refused to listen to her par
ents.'
You heard her say she was married.
6idn't you?'
Yes, but didn't hear her mention her
parents"
Evidently You have not developed
much ability in the way of making de-
ductions. Why would a girl with such
eyes, such hair, such complexion, such
teeth. such beautiful face and such q
figure as hers have to go out looking for
work If she hadn't married against her
parents wishes?"

Alabama's Appeal for Justice

The action of the Birmingham
Chamber Of Commerce in relation to
Lock 1S in the Coosa river improve
ment plan should be followed up by
similar action in Montgomery, Mobile
and Gadsden. Expressions in other
cities of the state would prove help
full. ....
The voice of the entire state Is
needed in this great and important
matter. and if Governor O'Neal can
lay before the President the desire of
the entire state, the President, who
Judges all questions with judicial fair
ness. would, it is felt, refuse to dis
criminate against Alabama. He is
lust man, a broadminded statesman.
We can we'll afford to place our case
in his hands.
The case is this in few words. In
the last two Congresses the policy. OF
the United States towards rivers that
the government is not ready to I'M
prove was laid down in two general
dam acts. Under these acts Congress
has passed 92 special acts authorizing
private parties to build power dams
in accordance with the plans of the
Secretary of War, and about 20 OF
these dams have been completed or
are in course of completion. The best
known of these dams are those at
Hale's bar near Chattanooga and the
dam in the Mississippi near Keokuk.
The bill providing for dam at Lock
Is in the Coosa is in exact line with
the ninety-odd other special bills.
The dam at Lock Is would be built
by no American monopoly but by an
English company, and the power de-
rived from it would be exclusively
utilized by large lime nitrogen ferti-
lizer factory, capitalized in England,
thus breaking at least to some extent
the monopoly of Chill in nitrates, a
monopoly by the way that yields to
the Chilean government $11.16 on
every ton exported. Nitrogen is sadly
needed in the production of cotton.
The improvement of the Coosa with
out cost to the United States and the
furnishing of supply of lime nitrates
in the very heart of the cotton belt
are thus at stake.
sThe Age-Herald asks the people of
Alabama to trust to the sense of
justice and impartiality of President
Taft. Let us ask him to consider the
case of Lock Is as he has considered
hundreds of other cases on the bench.
He will be just. He will be impartial.
He will upon reconsideration of SEN
ate bill 7343 treat Alabamians as
fairly as he would Massachusetts or
his own state of Ohio. The general
dam act may not be ideal but it is the
declared policy of the government,
and over 80 special acts have been
passed in accordance with it.

WHAT REALLY HAPPENED

L rom Lille.
History is becoming more unreliable
all the time. The other day higher
critic excavating in the Peloponnesus
unearthed the following revised ac-
count of one of King Solomon's famous
verdiets:
1t seems there was a child which
was claimed by two women, and the
case was brought before Judge Solomon
for decision. According to the old ver-
sion of the story, Judge Solomon, after
careful consideration, proposed that
the child be cut in two and half given
to each woman, whereupon the real
mother protested.
II now appears that this is not what
he did at all. He was still shrewder.
Insteal of cutting the child in two on
the spot, he ordered that 1t be capital
lied. Thereupon a company was
formed and the stock equally divided
between the two claimants. He then
put the child to work in sweatshop.
Both women, satisfied, went away and
lived in ease and affluence ever after
on the proceeds

the time he has turned up the Strand

However, problems like this are of no

the alteration of the social fabric to fit
his ideas and the revision of such democ-
racy as there is to suit his Judgment on
the subject. Starting early with the broad,
general proposition that whatever is is
wrong, he reached the conclusion that
nothing can be right until he fixes it; and
he, has worked along those lines for years.
Every time he hands down an opinion it
is final and irrevocable until such time as
he needs to make some more copy on that
phase of his subject-when he, being the
court of last resort, revokes his former
irfevocable decision in such manner a.

away with 1t!

too, to josh himself on occasions, not be-
cause he thinks he is deserving, of the
josh, even from himself, but because he
understands the human nature he pricks
and prods we'll enough to know that a
critic who criticises himself gets further

or analyses than critic who spares him.

Another Great Building Year

As great as was Birmingham rec
ord in the building trades in 1912 1t
VIII be even greater this year, be-
lleve.' remarked pprminent citizen.
within the past few years several
handsome apartment houses have been
erected and Major Tutwiler's magnifi-
cent apartment building overlooking
Capitol park is now in course OF con-
struction. | hear of several modern
houses being planned in the park neigh
borhood The last brick building
erected on West Twentieth street is
that owned and occupied by the Young
Women's Christian association. Most of
the other houses on that popular thor
oughfare are of wood. 1t is reasonable
to say that within two years from row
at least four or five modern brick
houses will take the place of the frame
buildings on West Twentieth.
Those who rent will naturally seek a
modern house with steam heat, high
class plumbing and the like. Wooden
houses when once vacated will be very
hard to rent SO long as attractive look
ing brick houses are plentiful. I>refer,
of course to the larger class of houses.

Iron Market OutIOok

'The New Year opens with every pros
pect of prosperity in the iron trade" ac-
oording to Matthew Addy & Cos Gin
volume. prices are on the up grade, or
der books are we'll filled and demand for
all kinds of finished and unfinished ma
terial is heavy. A year ago today south
ern No. 2 was weak and wobhy ut SO
f. o. b. Birmingham. Today it is strong
at sl4. Ohio iron was going begging then
at SIS; today the top price is SIT, and fur
naces are behind in deliveries. These fig
ures tell the story The year 1912 will 60
down in the history of the trade as a year
that began badly and ended well. 1t was
like a dinner that started off with corn
beef and cabbage and promised nothing
better, but that unexpectedly wound UP
with plum pudding
But the average of the year was un-
satisfactory, for the first six months
meant heavy losses. which the good bust
ness beginning In July was not able to
make up. 1t is expected that 1913 will
atone for the past. The holidays have
caused, as is usual, considerable jnter-
runtion to trade, but there has been none
the less a good deal of scattered buying
the general expectation that another
smart buying movement is due and that
1t may come any day. Already some or
ders have been placed for the third quar-
ter of the year.
