notable instances of Birmingham wom-
en- who have done things" are offered
as evidence, one always hears in the
conversation sooner or later:
And theA Gold Lion tea room, my
dear. Why, it's made an Independent
little fortune for Its clever owner, Mrs.
NJ. F. Stevens"
There isn't a man, woman or child in
this town who doesn't know Mrs. Stew
ems and like her.
She has the elements of success to a
marked degree in her personal 'malie-
up" which is always a big asset to any
man or woman in business.
She is bright and cordial, always tact
full and agreeable. and she has talent
plus.
She doesn't know the meaning of the
world fail
1t isn't in her dictionary
When l heard that besides the tea
room Mrs. Stevens was contemplating
the opening of an extension school of
cooking and entertaining, I immediate
ly went in to see her and found that
before the news had leaked out the
school had practically started.
To those who know Mrs. Stevens,
these are her tactics.
She does things first and talks about
them afterward.
All of Birmingham knows that Mrs.
Stevens is admirably fitted for the work
she has mastered.
She comes of good old New England
stock, her father being for many years
in the hotel business.
She grew up to like such things and
1t has always been great pleasure to
her to entertain in her own pretty, ar
tistic home, as well as assist others in
their entertainments.
Particularly is Mrs Stevens gifted in
catering and there is perhaps no other
woman now in the south who has the
reputation of clientels that she has in
this particular line.
"How did this extension school of
cooking and enterprise first make its
appeal to you?" l asked Mrs. Stevens as
she glanced over the prospectus of her
latest venture which she had just re-
ceived from the publishers.
I'm rather a casual way, she an
| swered. "Of course, the country Is
chocl full of correspond ence schools of
all kinds and descriptions, but there is
not in existence, as far as know, sim
gle correspondence school of cooking
and entertaining"
"You see,' Mrs. stevens continued.
everything nowadays is taught byscor-
respondence The trained nurse can
learn her profession through the cor
respondence schools so can the stenog-
rapher. the typewriter, and the jour-
nalist. Fat people can be made thin.
while thin people can acquire flesh, by
following the lessons sent to all parts
of the world by experts in these par
ticular lines. SO my idea of cooking

ual in the beginning, assumed definite
shape when l discussed 1t with various
people who are interested in such
things. From every one ! received the

DIDN'T USE DRUGS,
Luther McCarty Never Used Them
Before Fight, Is Evidence.

Calgary, June E.-Luther McCarty,
puglIfsl, did not take drugs before the
bout of May a which ended in his death,
nor did he ever take drugs before enter
ing the ring. This was the testimony of
VIM. Mccartney. McCarty's manager at
the trial today of Arthur Pelkey on the
charge of manslaughter. Mccartney was
recalled to the witness stand and Ques-
toned by the jurors, as was DR.. Cham
bers, who declared that the wound found
on McCarty's jaw was recent and that it
was not caused after death. This ended
the case for the crown.
Whether the contest at the arena near
here May "A was a prize fight or simply 4
boxing bout caused lively tilt between
the counsel for the defense, A. c. Smith,
and crowns counsel, James Short, during
which time the jury was excluded from
the room. Attorney Smith declared that
there was no evidence of a prize fight,
which on three occasions in Canada, had
been held to mean a fight until one of the
contestants surrendered from disablement
or exhaustion.
The crown counsel contended that
prize fight was a fight in which the fists
were the weapons of attack whether
gloved or not. He declared that it had
been announced in all parts of the world
key was for the worlds white heavy
weight championship. Chief Justice Har
Vey made no ruling on this point, but re
fused to grant the plea of Attorney Smith
that the case be taken from the jury.
The jury then was recalled and this
afternoon witnesses for the defense were
examined.

PATTEN ASKS PERMIT
Street Car Man Applies to County
Commissioners.

Albert NJ. Patten, assistant general
manager of the Mckinley lines, sent
a petition this afternoon to the board
of county commissioners asking them
for the right to build and maintain a
line of electric railway along Tenth
street to Gage park.
The petition asks for a grant of 20
years on this extension OF the Tenth
avenue line and promises a fare not
to exceed five cents each way with
transfer privileges.
The request is similar in many re-
quests to the petition sent to the board
of city commissioners. 1t will settle
once and for all the discussion as to
whether the county will allow the To-
peka railway to build out the Tenth
street road

COOPER FACES JAIL.
He Must Obey Court Order in That
Matter of AIimony.

Old John G. Cooper. he of much
marital experience, will have to obey
an order of the district court in the
near future or go to Jail until he does.
In the divorce proceedings institut-
ed by his latest wife, Cora F. Cooper
John was ordered to set aside a piece
OF property for the support of his
child by this wife. There was a mort
gage on the property and the old man
was instructed by the court to pay
this mortgage off within six months
or go to Jail This was on April %,
1910. But old John. who has the rep
utation for being pretty foxy, man
aged to forget this order of the court
Anyhow, he made no effort to pay off
this mortgage.
So week ago, Judge Ensminger, attor-
ney for Mrs. Cooper, made an applca ton
TO the court to have Cooper declared in
contempt because he had not paid off the
mortgage as directed. There was a hear
ing on this motion. and Judge Whitcomb
rendered his decision in the premises this
morning. 1t was to the effect that Cooper
must now pay off this mortgage in Is
days or be committed to Jail until the or
der is complied with
