A great many Birmingham people have
studied dancing not only with the best
teachers here, but on their trips to New
York and abroad have taken lessons from
world famous teachers
Maurice has numbered among his
pupils several of Birmingham promi-
nent society members, and Nj. and Mrs
Vernon Castle (whose wonderful dancing
last year with Julia Sanderson in 1.-The
Sunshine Girl attracted so much atten-
tion-also their "Cabareting" at Martin's)
have taugh others from here.
Mr.. and Mrs. Castle have spent the
summer in Paris and people who are u-
terested in these two remarkable dancers
and their sudden rise to fame and wealth
will no doubt be very much pleased with
a very charming account-a bit of the
inside history concerning the Castles
which is not generally known, and which
was written to me by very clever wom-
an who has been in Paris this summer
and who had the pleasure of knowing
the Castles and studying with them.
The letter is so delightful that | am
going to let you peep into it and see for
yourself just what this very interesting

at Boston on January g. 1706, accord

was In England as agent for the
colony Of Pennsylvania. Previous to
this, though little known, it was main
ly by the advice OF franklin that the
English government resolved to con-
quer Canada, and for that purpose
sent out Wolfe's expedition. 1t was
in 1859 that Franklin made a journey
from London to Scotland, of which
in letter written to Scotch friend,
he used these words which have ever
endeared him to the Scot: Il think
the time we spent there was six
weeks of the densest happiness have

ACTS ON THE LIVER
DodsOn's Liver Tone Livens IN
the Liyer-IsmOre Than
a Mere Laxative.

Calomel was for years the on
ly known medicine that would
stimulate the liver. But calomel
is often dangerous, and people
are not to be blamed for being
afraid of it.
Within the last few years
many medicines have been put
out to be used instead of Gallo
mel, but their effect is on the
b0wels-not or the liver. Walk
er's Pharmacy says that the
only real liver medicine to actu-
ally take place of calomel is
Dodson's Liver Tone, q mild,
harmless, vegetable liquid that
Walkers Pharmacy recommend
ed to take the pacle Of caloa2el
and which gives prompt relief
in cases Of constipation, bilious
ness and sluggish liver.
So confident is Walkers Phar-
macy that they give their per

COOK WHO WORKS BY GUESS
She Is a Genius, but Is Not Often
Found in These pecadent
Days.

I'd give a dollar said the man
who coddles his stomach, ito find
a cook who doesn't measure. She
would gladden. my soul. The cook
who does things by guess is rare
bird nowadays. She has genius, else
she could not dispense with the cast
iron rules that regulate modern cook
cry, and geniuses are seldom indigen-
Gus to the f1athouse kitchen.
But there used to be plenty Of
them. Why, l remember the time
when half the kitchens in the land
gloried in guesswork cook. It
did a fellows eyes and his entire
internal organization good to watch
her. She would take a pinch of this,
handful of that, and a dash Of some
thing else, and mix them all togeth-
er, and the result would be the most
delectable tidbit that a fellow ever
put in his mouth.
Lord Lord, but eating was a
pleasure In those days. II isn't SO
now. In these whirligig times every
thing has a machine-made tast
That's because the cooks measure S
much. Instead Of trusting to In
spiration, as the heaven-born cook
is bound to do, tie kitchen queens Of
today measure even the salt they put
in the porridge. 70 wonder such
cookery lacks individuality, and is all
on the same dead level of mediocrity.
Merciful heaven, what ails these bis

Colonel John S. Mosby has been In
vited TO Canada to talk on his war
experiences to the members of local
military organization. 1t may pc a
surprise to some people to know that
thie old fighter of the Confederacy
still is living. ~

prominent during the days of civil

marked for its own most of those
who are living.
Colonel Mosby, however, goes ABOUT

DEATH VALLEY VICTIMS

The recent death of Peter A. Busch
a Colorado miner, in Death Valley,
recalls many instances of the treach-
erv of that portion Of California,
which was denominated by the early
tribal Indians as the valley OF
Fire"
The Piutes, Washoe and other tribes
In early days condemned their crim1-
nails to the country surrounding
Death Valley. When an outlaw IN
dian violated the most sacred laws
of his tribe he was condemned to the
"VaIley of Fire" where he was eX-
pected soon to perish.
OF the hundreds of bodies found In
Death Valley, where men perisheo
from heat and thirst, they are almost
universally naked to the waist. Inc
trail made by the men before death
also shows a circuitous course.
At a certain stage, after being at
tackled by the heat, the person De
Gins to run and claw at his breast.
FIRST his hat is abandoned. Then ne
begins to claw at his shirt, and fnally
tears it from him.
Then he turns In a circuitous route
ard narrows the circuit until finally
he falls exhausted in heap ana
never rises again. Dehr1um comes on
instantly. ..,.-.
II is at this point that the victim
begins to tear at his upper garments
and run. 1t is presumed that the
terrible suffering from the heat and

thirst feels like a load on his lungs
and makes breathing difficult, and
that the victim imaglnes by running
and that in clawing off his upper
garments he is releasing the weight
Scientists who have visited Death
Valley in warm weather and had a
touch of the heat state that the ex-
traordinary effect of the heat there
| is caused by the peculiar situation of
Death Valley. 1t is from 100 to 400
| feet below sea level and is shut in on
all sides by high mountains.
The Panamints range shuts out the
| moist air from the Pacific ocean, and
the Funeral and Grapevine ranges
shut out the wind from the slight
vegetation on the eastern side, so
that only the wind that reaches
Death Valley and the atmosphere of
that region is the dryest of all places
on earth; that it absorbs from every
living thing, both human and vege-
tables, every particle of moisture.
This is illustrated by the fact that
at certain places in Death Valley
when the thermometer is at its
highest-often 1877 degrees in the
shade--a man never can satiate his
thirst. AS soon as he takes the can
teen from his lips the thirst returns
just as strong as ever.
When the system is drained of all
moisture the brain yields the vic
TINS eyes stare like a madman's and
he runs his circuitous course to death.

MOSBY COMES NORTH

, During the days of the Civil War
there was held in a Connecticut VII
lage a meeting the purpose of which
was to execrate the guerilla Mosby''
and his methods of warfare. Re
Gently the residents of the same vii
lage asked the colonel to be their
guest and to give them talk on war
matters. He consented, and his hosts,
including a goodly number of Grand
Army veterans, gave him cheering
greeting and an all-around good
time
1t is probable that the case of John
s. MosbY furnishes the best example
of mans willingness to forgive and
forget.
During the war the colonel had a
price on his head. He was held In
hatred by the soldiers of the Union,
and by the stay at-homes as well.
His health apparently never was
injured in the least by the names
which he was called. Now the colonel
is going farther North than ever his
horse carried him during the Civil
War and he is going to tell the
Canadians what he did and how he
did 1t.
We hope he has a good time and
that. he will live many more years
to give his lectures on experiences
which were more exciting and more
interesting perhaps than those I'M
dergone by any other soldier, North
and South. not excepting even those

1868 Persons Seef land

NORTH PLATTE, Neb., Oct. 81
Men were set at work today putting
the opera house in order for the land
drawings tomorrow, when Uncle Sam
will give away 531 sections OF govern
ment land in the North Platte forest
reserve and the Nebraska military
reservation.
Considering the area of lands to be
disposed of, it is said, no other regis

as have sought government lands in
the two reservations.
Railroads entering North Platte
have arranged for special trains to
accommodate the crowds. The cor
rected figures on registration show
u total of 1868.
