"lt is the things that almost happen

excursion boat.
Every captain Of a passenger carry

it's not the accidents that really occur
that bring gray hairs.

THE LIVERY AND FEEDING
STABLES ARE HIGH CLASS
....s..s............ ............s....a

ing every day. on the other hand the
livery business is of such proportions that
the men who own the stables are being
required constantly to increase their
horses. wagons, trucks and mules.
There IS one part of the livery busi-
ness that is always stable" said an old
liveryman. THAT isn't funerals as You
were probably about to say, but we'd
dines. It's funny thing and there's no
explaining 1t. You'd naturally expect that
you could count with more certainty ON
funerals than ages-beng that folks
have to die while they don't have to
wed. But, sir. if you go over the books
of the livery stables In this town you'll
see that year by year the marriage calls
run much more evenly than the funerals.
ri bet that we don't vary 10 weddings
a year from the usual number. 1t just
goes to show that the guy didn't know
anything about the livery stable end of
it when he said nothing was sure but
death and taxes"

The Battle of Manila

Washington Correspondence New York
Times.
In spite of his rs years. Admiral
George Dewey looked hale and hearty
as he sat tonight at a dinner in the
Willard hotel surrounded by officers
who fought With him at Manila bay.
"A small family party" the Admiral
called this gathering to celebrate the
naval victory of 10 years ago today
More than 20 officers who served in the
engagement were present.
Admiral Dewey read poem, written
by Edward c. Curran of Pennsylvania.
entitled Lest We Forget" Speaking
of Mr. Curran's production prior to the
dinner. the admiral said
This poem will have particular inter-
est for us because it sets forth why
the battle Of Manila bay was remark
able. 1t was that. indeed, although, of
course, nothing like Togo's great mod
ern naval victory in the sea of Japan.
shall never forget the day Is years
ago, when the battle was over and the
six captains of the squadron came
aboard the Olympia one by one. l said
to them:
"'Well. how about it? How about
your men,? Are you hurt? Did you COME
through it all right? And when they
answered, MOI huft, NOT wound,
and so on. / just couldn't believe 1t at
first. Finally | came to the conclusion
and I said: We'll, gentlemen, "a higher
power than we fought this battle to-
day

HORSES GO TO so MANY WE'D
DINGS THEY CAN KEEP STEP
TO LOHENGRIN'S MARCH.
MANY HIGH BRED ANIMALS

Whether it the innate love for horse
or whether it's because the city is SO
centrally situated in ahounding reaches
of country that the railroads and trolley
lines do not tap with their trains and
cars the fact remains that the livery
and hauling business in this town is of
almost phenomenal proportions. AT least
two dozen big stables with their outfits
of horses, men ana wagons. are kept
constantly on the go. either driving the
travelling gentleman" TO home hamlet
that has. no depot; hauling great loads
of goods for clients in and out Of the
city ,or hiring out horses to pleasure
seekers for the day or the evening.
It's come to the point where every
livery stable man has TO have good
horses and good wagons in Birmingham
and the demand has been met. In most
cases the horses are selected according
to their breed. weight and color. That is
so that if the young man who loves n
lady wants to take ner out for any
evening he may go into the stable and
pick the horse that looks to him most
like the one young Lochinvar would have
employed upon an approximately similar
occasion. Then there are the other horses
of pure white or dapple gray which go
well with weddings and are kept in the
stables mostly for the profitable purpose
of taking the bride and bridegroom from
the house to the church and to the sta
ton. Selah.
Mister" said one we'll known livery
man. "Weve got horses in our stable
that have gone to SO many weddings
that they just almost naturally keep step
to that Lohengrin wedding march,"
Besides these showier horses, however,
each livery stable has its quota-large or
small, according to its trade--of heavier
horses for the hauling trade. This con-
stitutes really the most substantial, day
by day trade of the livery men and the
horses are hired to haul consignments of
goods of every character for merchants
or private citizens from one portion of
the city to another.
Mules are used as well as horses--even
more largely by some concerns-for this
trucking within the city or its suburbs
and it has grown into a business that by
itself is sufficient to seep large sized
stable of animals busy pretty constantly.
Nevertheless, the accommodations in
this respect in Birmingham are equal to
the demand, even though it is increas-
