For an Extra Session

The needs of Birmingham and Ala
bama for an extra session OF the leg
islature are becoming generally recog-
nized over the state. Tonight directors
of the Business Mems league of Mont
gomery will meet and petition the
governor to take early action.
To recapitulate the conditions IN
birmingham which call with a clarion
tongue for relief is unnecessary. So
obvious are they that to go over the
ground again might be wearisome.
Birmingham citizens will appreciate
the spirit of cooperation displayed by
those business men of Montgomery
who realize the pressing necessity for
an extra session and are gladly lend
ing their efforts in behalf of the
largest city of the state.
In the past some of the cities OF
Alabama were inclined to be a little
Jealous of Birmingham; but as the
aims of this city are becoming more
fully appreciated and it is realized
that self-aggrandizement is not the
motive of all movements originated
here this feeling is becoming dissi-
pated.
This is due in no small measure to
the efforts of the Chamber of Com
merce and its officials. By constant
endeavor they have spread the. doc
trine of "For Alabama" by various
means over the state and now in the
hour of Birmingham's need the bread
cast upon the waters is returning.

PHOEBE COUZINs

From the NaSnV1lle Ie11neSSedn.
There died in poverty and squalor at
St Louis recently a woman who some
years ago was a prominent figure in the
life of this nation. Phoebe Couzins was
the first woman to be admitted to the
practice of law in the United States; was
the first (and If we do not mistake, the
only woman to serve as United States
marshal, and was a pioneer in the cause
of woman suffrage. Her last hours were
spent in a tumble down rookery in st.
Louis, absolutely penniless and depend
ent for the barest necessities upon the
charity of those who had known her in
better days.
A native of St. Louis, her father, was
one of the wealthy and prominent men of
that city 80 years ago. His daughter was
splendidly educated and was the first
coed graduate of Washington university.
Soon after receiving her diploma she
was admitted to the bar and began the
practice of law. Moving in the best cir
cles. she was a leader in the society of
the city at that time When President
Harrison appointed her father United
States marshal, the girl became a dep
uty in his office, and succeeded him as
marshal when his health failed. 1t is
told of her that she attended to every de-
tail of the marshalship, wearing badge,
attending court, and even going on
"moonshine" raids with her force of
deputies.

THE EMPTY STOCKING

Sara Beaumont Kennedy in the Memphis
Commercial-Appeal
Cold and bleak was the attic room.
The wind through gaping roof-hole
Droye the snow. One candle shed its dole
OF pale and sickly light
In which grimacing shadows fled
From broken chair to scant-cad bed.
Hob-goblins of the night.
Against TIL unkndled chimney lamb
The little tenant hung with care
Her tattered stockings for its share
OF Santas splendid mass;
Then laid her down with faith supreme
To wait until her Christmas dream
Should come to pass.
She shivered sore but Gained her heart
With thought of sweets and dolls and
book,
And once she stole one frightened look
The stocking still was long and lank.
Fiercely she checked the dread forlorn-
And softly said: Hell come at dawn"
And into slumber sank.
A shaft of light struck through the roof.
An eager movement Meath the ragged
Sheet ,,sr
Across the floor a scurrying of feet;
cry of gratitude for morn.
And then-O broken trust, o faitn de-
filed! .
An empty stocking and sobbing child
Ihere IN the Christmas dawn!

From the Brooklyn Eagle. tf
Dead at the age of 80 years. "Old
Scout" Virgins of Denver will not be
forgotten by those who knew him in his
old age. Few if any, are surviving who
knew him in his young manhood. Mar
tin Van Buren, was President of the
United States when oliver P. Virgins,
Ia Niagara Falls boy, ran away from
home at the age of Is, lured by the call
of the vast wild southwest. He became
a comrade of Kit" Carson, IA years his
senior, who had made himself one of
the best known frontiersmen of his
time. With Carson Virgins hunted,
trapped, fought Indians for several
years. 1t was an Indians bullet, carried
in his body for 63 years, that compelled
the operation from which Virgins died.
He outlived his captain, Kit Carson, by
As years.
Virgins fought under Fremont in the
California campaign of 1S46-47, as did
Carson His memories of the campaign
were keen to the last He had seen the
vast buffalo herds disappear; the grad
ual development of plantations on the
ranching territory. He had seen hun
dred bustling cities spring up in his
wilderness. He had seen railroad after
railroad built across the Rockies. He
had seen the red men almost fade away
from our history's picture. He had wit
messed the whipping of Mexico, and the
long years of civil war struggle. Ninety
years is long span for a single life
time.
One by one the real veterans of our
southwest are passing. Their exploits
belong to the national drama, drama
that is passing with them. A half CEN
tury ago it thrilled American youth in
all the eastern states. Its thrill has
been lost with time. But the empire
makers, of whom "Old Scout Virgins
was one. played, and played well. their
part in the creation of this mighty ma
tion.

Bright Business Outlook

The belief in business circles
throughout the country is that 1914
will be year of prosperity.
While industrial operations have
have been curtailed during the recent
months, and while there has been
recession in many branches of whole
sale trade, 1913 has not been a bad
year by any means. In the late spring
and throughout the summer business
was very brisk. The large crops
naturally improved business condi-
tions, and had it not been for a num-
Der of disturbing events abroad COM
bined with pending legislation in
Washington this would have been an
unusually prosperous year.
The two great questions with which
Congress and the administration have
had to deal have been the tariff and
currency measures. The Underwood
tariff bill was enacted into law, and
has been effective long enough for the
country to see pessimistic predictions
of the high protectionists fail of re-
alization. Downward revision has been
accepted by manufacturers and mer-
chants in the, right spirit. They have
been quick to adjust their business to
the new schedules, and all the indica-
tions now point to successful opera
ton of the democratic tariff.
As to currency reform, the pending
bill, improved and changed in several
respects, has now few opponents in
the financial world and its passage
will mark the turning point in hating
business. Business men certainly will
breathe freer when the banking cur
rency receives the Presidents sig
nature. The administration attitude
toward trusts is not as radical as had
been supposed In fact, leading bust
ness men after reading what the
| President had to say in his message
regarding trusts expressed satisfac-
| ton with the administration policy.
The past six months has been a
period of liquidation, and early in the
new year business will be in good
shape for the revival of activity. The
disturbing elements will be out of the
way, as far as affairs in this country
are concerned, and healty boom will
be due. Certain it is that all the signs
point to new high records in CONNER
cial and industrial development.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-12-16

married royal couples. Incompatabilits
is the reason given for the marital
troubles of William and his wife. The
proceedings threatened for time to
seriously jar the relations of Sweden
and Russia.
The Duke of Brunswick and his
bride, younger daughter of Emperor
William, had scarcely been married
week before there were rumblings
of disagreements. For a time it
seemed that there would be an open
rupture but the breach has apparently
been healed. The trouble was attrib-
uted to a tactless remark of the
Crown Prince in regard to the claims
of the Duke of Brunswick to the SOW
ereignty of his dukedom.
Ex-King Manuel of Portugal and his
wife, the Princess Augustine Vic.
toria of Hohenzollern, also struck
rough water on the matrimonial sea
almost Immediately after the nuptials.
The bride returned to her father and
Manuel went on a shooting expedition,
ignoring his wife. Rumors were preva-
lent of separation but it now seems
that the couple are outwardly recon-
ciled and have returned to the Eng
lish country place of the ex-King.
OF the recent royal marriages there
only remains that of Prince Arthur of
Connaught and the Duchess of Fife
and this bids fair to be altogether
happy. 1t is said that Prince Arthur
was devoted suitor of the princess;
that they are devoted to each other
and are as happy as the day is long.
Such a spectacle is refreshing after
contemplating the loveless political
matches which are the rule among
those of "the blood"
