VENICE, THE COMMERCIAL

Mary Heaton Worse, in Harpei5s Magazine
for November.
1t is customary for some people to talk
about Venice as old and infinitely sad,
TO think of it sitting alone medtating on
it's past glories; and all the time the
great transformer, steam. has been at
work changing the landscape and Its
people to the new life of modern world.
The visitor who lives in one of the hotels
on the Grand canal will probably never
wholly think of Venice as other than a
show city, tourist city, where trav-
elers from all over the earth come to
wonder. Such a person will never realize
that Venice today Is a modern port. To
realize this fully one should live for a
time on the Giudecca, where one will see
the city of magic background for all the
ships of the earth. For time Venice
was a backwater. Her ancient glories as
queen of the Adriatic had departed from
her, but the cutting of the Suez canal
gave her back her position. In the Ciiu-
decca there Is always a wash from the
wake of the big steamers coming from the
ports of the east; coming from England
bearing COAL and from other countries
grain and food for the factories and
workshops OF northern and eastern Italy.
The making of delicate lace and the
blowing of fragile glass are the indus
tries that are naturally associated with
Venice. On the Giudecca canal. however,
the work Of unloading the big steamers
goes on perpetually. Over by the Marina
they are building, not gondolas, but big
iron steamers; and if you live there you
must look at the white dome of the Salute
through the trailing smoke of the steam7
ship stack.
And this aspect of Venice has a special
beauty, and why should one shut ones
eyes to 1t? There is one thing certain,
that the more your life is cast to bring
you in touch with the people of Venice
who work, the more you win understand
Venice of today.

EXPENSIVE DUCK SHOOTING

From November Outing.
One of the largest duck shooting clubs
in California is supposed to contain 37Oo
acres of land and water. or this amount
perhaps 1oo0 acres are water. A great
deal of the land Is very valuable as cell
cry land, and were it not for the club
members, ii would undoubtedly all be
drained for this purpose. 1 was told that
the initiation fee in this club was $4,000,
and that the annual dues We're $1,000 per
member. AS there are 40 members this
gives them $4,000 q year for running ex-
penses. and my informant told me there
had never been year that they did not
have to make a reassessment. In the
year 1912 the expenses ran to $4,000; so,
you see, this gun club business is not ex-
actly poor mans game. This one prop
erty controls five miles of ocean from
tage.

Underwood.s Popularity

1.-THE south has had a number of dis
tinguished statesmen since the war, but
none In my day who has been as popular
as Mr.. Underwood" said l.. 7. Sharon OF
Chicago.
II am not politician, but am DEM
ocrat, and when various candidates for
the presidential nomination were at
tracing the attention of the party,
was inclined to think that Mr.. Under
wood would make an ideal nominee,
and l believe the more the people see
of him the more they like him. Demo-
Gratis throughout the United States take
it for granted, doubtless. that Mr.. I'M
derwood will be elected senator. 1t would
be almost nnthinkable that anyone in
his state could beat him. I am satisfied
that he win win over Mr.. Hobson- by a
large majority

A GREAT MAN

BY owen Meredith.
That man Is great, and he alone,
Who serves a greatness not his own,
For neither praise nor pelf;
Content, to know, and be unknown.
Whole in himself.
Strong is that man, he only strong,
To whose we'll ordered will bejong,
For service and delight,
All powers that in the face of wrong.
Establish Right.
And free is he, ami only he.
Who, from his tyrant passions free,
By Fortune undisinayed,
Hath power upon himself. to be
By himself obeyed.
II such man there be, whereer
6eneath the sun and moon he fare,
He cannot fare amiss,
Great Nature hath him in her care.
Her cause Us his.

ADRIFT WITH THE TIMES
WITHOUT PRICE.

Full many a man has Travelled far
And wide in search of happiness;
The morning sun, the twilight star
Have seen him ON his journey press.
The years have all unheeded flown,
The seasons marked their ancient round:
The shifting winds of fortune blown
And that one prize remained unfound.
Deluded wight By dreams misled,
Who puts his trust in Mammon's art,
Nor ever heard nor ever read
The thing he seeks lies in his heartl

New Names for Streets


City Engineer kirkpatrick has
about completed his plan for naming
the streets of Birmingham in way
that will obviate the confusion which
exists in many instances. The scheme
will be submitted to the commission,
and if found satisfactory will be
adopted.
Greater Birmingham is made up of
nearly dozen former municipal cor
porations. Each of these municipalities
named its streets and avenues to suit
itseK, and when consolidation came
there came with it great confusion in
the matter of names for thorough
fares. There are now several st.
Charles avenues and st. Charles
streets in the city, an also some
Charles avenues and Charles streets.
These of necessity are a matter of
perplexity when one is searching for
en address.
The main section of the city is ad-
mirably laid off, and given a street
and number it is very easy for per-
son to find the place desired. But once
outside the bounds of old Birmingham,
None unfamiliar with the locality is
in a veritable mystic maze.
Some objections are bound to be
urged against Mr.. kirkpatrick pro-
posals, but the purpose he has in view
will meet with the approval of all.

And couldn't some way be found to

DIFFERENCE OF OPINION.

Quite SO. When he first begins to

Mineral XnIues

while the Alabama State Land con-
sress is stirring up great interest in our
agricultural resources, it will doubtless
bring to the attention of investors the en-
hancing mineral values hereabouts," said
man who keeps in close touch with
geology and industrial progress.
"rhere are a few tracts of coal and ore
lands undeyeloped. and which are outside
OF going companies, but in the next
four or FIVE years no good mineral prop
erty will be on the market except at fancy
prices. 1t was lucky for the Standard
Steel company that it bought the body of
ore land near Oxmoor, known recently as
the Shannon n-McDonough property While
the men who owned that land probably
made a good profit, they would have made
much more had they held it even two
years longer.
Mr. Badham and associates who
bought something like 1000 acres of coal
land from Mr.. Skeggs last year, did a
good thing for themselves. While they
paid alr. Skaggs what seemed u good
price at the time they could. T.-beleve,
sell this property today for double what
was paid for il. The time will come when
all coal and ore lands that are now con-
sidered inferior viii bring good prices"

, "One of the practical results of the
splendid manifestation Of public spirit by
Birmingham, when called upon to raise
s25000o for the Young Mems Christian as
scciation, is the oportunity for training
afforded by the night school," said man
who takes much interest in civic mat
ters.
"The folder issued setting forth the at
tractive features of this excellent institu-
tion will probably draw increased men,
bersilip, for it is indeed fine opportunity
for the boys and young men of limited
means, who are employed at earning a
livelihood. to educate themselves, to equip
themselves for higher positions in the bus
mess world
"The whole programme of the institu-
ton, as outlined in the folder, shows an
atmosphere of refining influences, of
moral spiritual and intellectual uplift:
of physical development and healthful-
ness This last is the basis of the manly,
Christian man. Indeed, there is not in
Birmingham any institution that gives
more promise of sowing for the reaping
