THE TRIUMPHAL MOTOR CAR.
To he continued.

S. c. P.-According to the best
and latest information available,
there are at present in the United
States more than 100000 motor
vehicles, In the entire country
there are about 10000 commercial
motor vehicles in use, showing
that the horse is rapidly being
eliminated as a beast of burden.
There is but little doubt that the
time Is not far distant when, save
in out-of- the way places. the
hauling will largely be done by
the motor vehicle.

MEXICO.

@. x. S.-Of course. the lifting
Of the embargo on the importa-
ton of arms into Mexico works
to the advantage of both sides. It
would be impossible to proclaim
the right of but one side to buy
arms. International comfy would
not permit that. Under the pres
ent arrangement both rebels and
Federals can buy the sinews of
war to the extent of their means.

cial. She is creature of warm
human sensibility, of hungry
craving for tenderness and love.
She wants to be petted, to be
fattered, to be told that she's the
sun, moon and stars to her hus
band, and that he would die with
out her.
She is heart hungry. She is
starving for affection, and along
comes some man who makes
fervid and violent love to her
and as a result, there's another
domestic tragedy. Yet is such a
woman any more to blame than
the starving wretch who steals
the loaf of bread that is put
within her reach? Isn't the cold
and callous, husband who has
been too busy and too much alb
sorbed in his own pursuits to show
her any real affection the one
who is most guilty? Hasn't he
led her into temptation?
Doesn't every man who does
not deliberately try to make his
wife happy lead her into tempta
ton? Lots of wives are unfaith-
full to good men" but ! never
yet heard of a woman who wa.
unfaithful to a husband who was
really good to her-and being
good to woman doesn't mean
merely refraining from beating
her and giving her food and
clothes. 1t means ministering to
the wants of her soul and heart
just as much as her body
Avoid Temptation.
And take the case of where the
man is the sinner: A young man
who is genial and broad minded,
and generous, marries a woman
who is narrow and prejudiced and
stingy. The first thing that she
does is to drive all Of his old
friends away from him. The next
thing is to terrorize him so he's
afraid to ask even his own mother
to come to the house. Everything
he wants to do she puts the veto
on. If he takes her out to a res
taurant she is afraid they're
spending too much. If he takes
her to the theater she's worrying
lest they shut the cat up in the
pantry. She makes home the
most unpleasant spot on earth
to him. and so naturally he begins
to stay away from it,
When he wants to enjoy him
self he goes to some place as far
from his own domicile as possible
and he doesn't take wife along.
either. He has no companionship
in the woman to whom he is
married, and he finds it in some
other woman. and wife goes to
Reno, and considers herself very
much misused, when, in reality
she is the sinner
And there is the other cast OF
the woman who nags. She may
really love her husband and be
doing it for his own good, only
none of us ever recognize the
value of persecution. She tor
ments him about everything he
does, and leaves undone, until he
flies to some other distraction
simply for self-preservation. You
may be sure Of this, that very
few women whose husbands go
wrong have failed to be acces-
sorry before the fact.

prayers. The married might well

A Case in Point.
Here is a case in point:~A man
marries a pretty. amusement
loving, light hearted girl. He puts
her down into a little fat, and
expects her to be happy and sat
isfled, with nothing livelier to do
than the homework. and looking
forward to his coming home Of an
evening
When he does come he is tired
and grouchy and sits around all
evening without speaking, scarce
ly. If she proposes to go to the
theater or to a friends for a game
of cards or to merely take walk
on the street he growls out a re-
fusal II she wants a new dress
or new hat he bats her extrav-
agance. Gradually he comes to
stand in her mind for killjoy,
and her home seems a sort of jail
She is young and full of the joy
of living. and her natural instinct
for pleasure is not to be denied,
so she begins to find it on the
outside of her home. She begins
to buy finery of which her hus-
band knows nothing: to go to
places of amusement of which he
never hears. to make acquaint-
ances with men of whom she
never speaks to him.
The women who write mash
notes to actors. who dance with
strange men at afternoon tea
rooms, who carry on clandestine
correspondence, who lunch with
other men than their husbands at
restaurants, and who are always
looking out for a Irritation are in
variably women married to men
who do not realize that some
amusement is as necessary to a
woman as the air she breathes or
the bread she eats, and that If 1t
is not given to her legitimately
she will take it illegitimately.
I never see a pretty, silly friv-
olous young woman married to a
stick in the mud husband with
out feeling like shouting to him,
Lead her not into temptation"
For that's exactly what he's do
ing. And when she goes wrong
he's more to blame than she is.
There is this other case also: A
man marries a tender, loving,
warm hearted girl to whom affec-
ton is as the sunshine to a flow
er. He may be perfectly devoted
to her, but he is one of the clam
type of men who keep every emo
ton shut up in their own souls.

CABARET FEATURE
 OF CHARITY BALL

The cabaret artists at the charity ball have been chosen from among Bir mingham's talented younger folk, with several additional stars that habitual- 1y shine in other skies. Mrs. William Mudd Jordan and Mrs Leo K. Steiner, who are the committee in charge of the cabaret are themselves uncertain as to the identity of of the dancers-a gentleman from the east who is to be Miss Florine Hodges part ner in the dance and is listed on the programme as "Incognito." There have been many conjectures as to his iden- tity, some suspecting that he is a for mer Birmingham man who has often danced for the pleasure of local fol- lowers of terpsichore-a circumstance which Miss Hodges stoutly denies. Their dance together, however, she promises, will be very pretty.
 Miss Fern Minors song is to be one of the delicately beautiful features of the entertainment tomorrow evening. Her voice is charming and her per sonality exquisite.

MISS FANNIE MAY MASON
 WEDS MIR. JOHN E. CROCKETT

A marriage in which both Birmingham and Nashville have been interested this spring was consummated yesterday morn- ing at o'clock at the home of MT. and Mrs Wyndham Mason. Only a few friends beside the relatives of the fam fly witnessed the ceremony which united Miss Fannie May Mason and MT. John Baber Crockett, the arrangements being necessarily quiet owing to the illness of Mrs. Mason, the brides mother, who was able to be downstairs for the first time yesterday morning.
 The decorations for the wedding were artistic and beautiful, displaying the ex- quisite taste that always characterizes preparations for entertainments in this charming home The occasion suggested the marriage of the other daughter of the home, Mrs. Taylor Southgate (Eliza- beth Morris Mason), which was brilliant event of a few seasons ago, and attended by an unlimited number of friends. Yes- terday the decorative motive was entirely effected in green and white. Palms were stationed in the various attractive hooks and a delicate tracery of smalix made a lovely background for white blossoms dogwood and hydrangeas. The vows were spoken at an altar in the drawing room banked with green and graced at each side with white pedestal, on the top of which stood a cluster of Easter lilies. These snowy blossoms were in evidence also on sundry tables and mantels in the home.

Pigeons by the thousands are fed by the city-a sight never to be forgotten. Crows and even hawks sit in the gardens and come within 8 few feet of you. Birds often come in your room in the morn ing and wake you with their singing. Yet the natives in their squalor and oftentimes want of food never lift a hand to take their lives. I could go out any day and bring in as many doves as I could carry, but not a gun have seen in India. and not an attempt made to kill bird.
 From Jaipur l came to Delhi, the capital of India. Here the English life is in evidence. India, you know. belongs to England English troops are per- manently quartered here and England never expects to let India go free, as we have done in Cuba. and as we eX- pect to do in the Philippines.

In my letters shall only try and give you views Of things that appear in the present day. You can read the many histories of India for the balance.

He smiled and said. Yes the homes you see belong to the Parsiis, and the beautiful wom- en you admire are of their people, On inquiry I found them to be highly ed ucated, gentle, rich, refined. Yet these were the people who gave up their dead to the vulturSs. They were originally followers of Zoroaster. This method or disposing of the dead originated from their yeneration for the elements. Fire is too highly regarded to be polluted by cremating the bodies and the water and earth are equally respected When I reach Benares on the River Ganges will see the Hindus burning their dead and will write you of this cere- mony.
 After several days stay in Bombay we went to Jaipur. a strictly native town. It has a population of 15O,OOo, and not 50 Europeans or English there. It is a walled city.

Tigers are plentiful here but not allowed to be killed, except by royal or distinguished visitors, and then on permit from the Rajah The tiger rarely ever attacks man, but when he once gets a taste of human blood he wants no other.
