The Boy and His Daddy.

What would you be my preciou:
lad?
asked of my curly y-locked four year
old
AS he played with his red toy engir,
there,
Safe from the wntry blast and cold
And look Of love came into his eyes
While he ceased a monet and gaze,
at me
And saw he knew, and | understood
The depth of his childish simplicity
81 just want to be like my daddy!'
"What would you do, my precious
lad?'
Again interupting the boy at play.
He had loaded his train with wonderful.
blocks
And the restless engine was Juggling
away.
But he stopped and smiled, as child
can DO,
And dimp!es adorned him with roguish
grace,
w iI.' 'itl'h iloiil lIlt Htil MS
answer came
And longing shone forth in his hand
some face
" just want to do like my daedy,'
" Where would you go my precious
lad?'
Third time, and last, detained him
there.
F,r childish hearts have their yearnings
dear
And dreams of the future for which
they care.
The boy 50 busy about his play,
Must have ambitions beyond our ken,
And yet from his lips heard once more
The words, in confidence uttered
them
Il just want to go with my daddy
Back Of the bright eyes is one little life
Sweet, tender heritage left in your
care;
Blessed the task to prepare him for
strife.
Glorious chance which is given sou
there
Do you want him to be like you, daddy?

An Old Love S
Valentine
By T. G. HARBAUCH

Copyright. 1914. by American Press Asso-
citation.
An old valentine! Three little love
verses!
She merrily laughed as she penned
them, I know,
And now as I read them my spirit
rehearses
The joys and the shine of sweet
long ago.
The ribbons that tied it have years
agone faded.
But still round heart like tendrils
they twine,
And Cupid looks on with his merry
eyes shaded,
For well he remembers the old
valentine.
Beautiful still, though some letters
have vanished
Which the heart can supply. for
love will not forget.
And out of tho past which the pres
ent has banished
Comes n pair of bright eyes that
can fascinate yet.
And over the page of my valentine
cherished
Fall tresses as lovely as Fairy
lands gold.
In the storms of the years tbs not
this that hath persisted,
For it links me anew to a sweet
heart of old.
She stands at my side and her soft
hand caresses
A cheek set aflane by the strength
of her sway,
And I wait in a dream for the kiss
she impresses
On brow that shall feel it fore'er
and a day.
Aye, ont of the shadows that wearily
lengthen
And pillage lifes vistas of half of
their shine
Return the old loves that tho spirit
doth strengthen
With the half faded rimes Of tho
old valentine,

They told me she blushingly said it
was "clever"-
The big valentine I sent in return.
And if we should meet, as we may
in life's cleaning,
Two sweethearts whose tresses
doth rival the snow,
I'm sure she would smile as whom
Love went a-ronminR
And sent me this valentine long.

Colleges Prospering

Despite the low price of cotton most of the southern universities and col- leges are we'll attended this year. Not a few of them report an increase in enrolment.
 The University of Alabama has a larger student body now than ever before. There are upwards of 600 in the department of arts and sciences, and with the other departments added, including the summer school, the uni versity has enrolled upwards of 1900 students this year. With the admira- ble organization and splendid ideals which now distinguish the university the number of students will continue to increase, and the increase promises to be rapid. A total of 5000 will not be too many to expect within the next five or six years.
 l Auburn and all the other Alabama institutions of learning are thriving at the present time. Most of then have more students than they had this time a year ago. If cotton were bring. ing 10 cents or more the cotton farm. CTS would now be reveling in new wealth. But at present prices they vii do we'll to come out even on their mair money crop. The full attendance al universities and colleges speaks par. ticularly well, therefore, for the as. piration of southern youth and the appreciation of culture manifested by fathers who have boys to educate.

Improvement in the Iron Market

The recent activity in the northern iron market will probably be followed very soon by activity in the southern market. Two or three weeks ago northern consumers were placing or ders which totaled considerable ton mage and within the past few days even larger sales have been reported. It is believed that with next week will come a still further improvement in the iron trade, and if the interstate commerce commission decides favora- bly, in December on the petition of the eastern carriers asking authority to advance freight rates per cent the iron market will not only become ex- ceedingly brisk, but prices will ad- vance. The fact that the commission reopened the rate case soon after il had rendered a decision on the first petition, which was practically "doe fall," encourages railroad companies operating cast of Pittsburg to thinl that the forthcoming decision will b. in their flavor.
 The industrial situation is improv , ing in very substantial way. It vii continue to improve no matter wha the decision of the interstate commits sion may be, but if the eastern line are permitted to increase rates pc! cent every iron company in the coun try would be greatly benefited an the benefit coming to the pig kol

sober beauty of diction, a carefully con- trolled eloquence. combined with an ac- curacy of information. and fairness and soundness of judgment, by which he is set above all except two or three of his American rivals in this domain of lit- erature and fully on a level with the very best of them. His books are in every respect exemplars of what history should be, and they are monuments that promise to be enduring. Already they are ''classic.' and so recognized by every csmpetent critic.
 Yet almost the whole of Parkman's work as a historian was done under dif- faculties that he could easily have been forgiven for calling insuperable Not only was his general health deplorable all through the years of his literary activity. but the condition of his eyes was such that rarely could he either read or write for more than few minutes day. His sufferings from them were an almost con- stant torture. Modern ophthalmology could certainly have given him relief, and probably 1t could have cured him, but at that time no effective help was any, where available for men afflicted as he was.
 To say that the Parkman histories are the better for his physical unsoundness would be absurd. but they are so good that there is no slightest need for con- siderate remembrance by the reader of the authors condition when they were produced.

The Cotton Situation

The Wall Street Journal, at once conservative and ably conducted, says that "cotton men in general seem we'll satisfied with the result of the first week of the reopening of the New York Cotton exchange" A broader speculative market at the outset, which some would prefer, could not be looked for, it remarks, even if such market were desirable. A narrow trading market seems best to the Journal "until the business has finally found it's bearings" It is cer- tain that a necessity like cotton can- not always sell below the cost of pro- duction.
 Germany is now buying cotton in the United States not only for early exportation but for deliveries running well into the future. Other favorable factors are expected to enter into the market situation and, according to the Wall Street Journal, there will be a boadening "in safe and orderly man. ner." Much cotton is being held by the farmers for cents and better.
 Before spring they will probably find the price above 8 cents. If the gov
 ernment's April report shows great ly reduced acreage and if the boil
 weevil is threatening, as most likely
 it will be, then 10-cent cotton will be
 in sight.

In the Holiday Season

This years Thanksgiving Day be- ing now in the past, large interest centers on the Christmas season. The gladstone day to which Christendom looks forward with keen desire is only four weeks off; and these will be busy weeks.
 The timely advice to heads of fami- lies and all others who make Christ mas purchases, "shop carly" is heard now with emphasis, but those who have Christmas in their bones, as the saying goes, need no urging to look out for holiday bargains well in ad- vance of Christmas.
 In Birmingham as in all other large cities most retail merchants will be rushed with business from now until Christmas eve. In this city the gro- cery stores, the clothing houses, the shoe houses and the department stores, especially those featuring toys and books, were never more attractive than they are at this time. The merchants have laid in large and varied stocks; not only so, but the stocks are displayed with remarkable taste and singular appeal. Prices are made to suit all classes.
 Birmingham is by far the finest shopping center between Louisville and New Orleans and every year brings an increase in the number of out-of-town shoppers. This holiday season will doubtless mark a new high record in the volume of Birming- ham trade.

A Newsboy's Voice

Many delicate problems confront Che honorable city commissioners of Birmingham. Like the caliphs who figure both wisely and unwisely in oriental tales, the commissioners are called upon to settle questions of law, ethics and finance, knotty points in civic administration and countless matters that directly affect the peo- pie.
 Recently wienerwurst stands for the sale of the popular "little hot dogs" have been discussed pro and con by the commissioners and the Hon. George Ward, president of the com- mission, has added fresh laurels to his brow by determining the permissible volume of newsboy's voice.
 It seems, according to one of The Age-Herald's indefatigable reporters, that a Russian newsboy calls his wares in such ear-splitting tones that he has placed himself in the same category with the flat wheel and the siren whistle as public nuisance. MT. Ward, with that ripe judgment and thoughtful consideration for the rights of others, no matter how hum ble, which reminds one strongly of the better sort of caliphs in "The Arabian Nights Entertainment" asked the newsboy for sample of his yell and then determined how much of it could be suppressed without inter- fering with the newsboy's gaining a livelihood.
 Of the "pretty problems" that are supposed to have confronted Solomon in his day perhaps none was more diff ficult to settle justly and humanely for all concerned than this of a news boys voice. The good caliph--we mean president of the commission finally decided that volume of noise might issue from the boys mouth sufficient to warn possible purchasers within the radius of block that he was approaching, but not loud enough to shake the chandeliers two blocks away.
 Most wise and salutary. Everybody is the newsboy's friend, but when one of these urchins possesses a voice like fog horn it is apt to "get on the nerves" of worthy citizens, particular ly in the early hours of the morning when sleep is sweetest.

A STORM IN rLANDERS From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.

From the CleVotand f'laln Dealer.
 A blizzard Is raging down from the North sea- It sweeps across the bare dunes of Flanders. Men are crouching there; they have been crouching there for a month For days 1t has rained. and at times there has been stinging sleet Now it Is a real blizzard: 1t penetrates to the vitals of the thousands and thousands who have neither fire nor shelter. who stand waist deep in the freezing mud and slime of endless zigzag ditches.
 The cannon roars no more direfully thau does the storm. Hands shake with fever and with bitter cold. From time to time a man drops dead! and he has no wound. tho misery of the storm has slain him. Pneumonia spreads along the ditches. un- seen and more terrible than the Hash ot bayonets.
 The plains are flooded. pikes have been broken, and tho oeasless rain piles up tho water on the soggy folds. \ whole rssi- ment is destroyed by msrs water. unhs- roically and missrably drowned; glad. probably, to see no more c. F1anders-
 Dryness and warmth. elemental con- forts of humanity are beyond attainment. There is little food. There is no refuge Is fiat monotony of mental and physical torture. At night the dead are buried; by day .pany may go sloshing knee deep through the quagmire, to dig itself into a new zigxag of watery ditches.
 This 10 war with the winter only b. ginning. War and winter arc only begtnr aing.

From the Journal of the American Med-
 ical Association.
 Epidemics of cholera are reported to be threatening the various armies, es- pecially those engaged on the Russo-Aus- trian frontier. But 1t will be remembered that even in the normal state of affairs cases of Asiatic cholera in this neighbor- hood are not unusual. Cholera is dis ease whose spread Is dependent largely on infected drinking water and carriers, apparently healthy. So far as Is known infection occurs only when the germ is swallowed. It seems probably that in addition to water as a source of infection, food when exposed may become contami- mated through the agency of flies. Unless there are efficient sanitary precautions water supplies are likely to become in- fected. Therefore In the passage of large bodies of troops, when sanitation cannot be perfect, an outbreak of this disease may be expected The cholera organism is especially sensitive to drying and there seems to be a doubt whether or not 1t is able to multiply outside of the body in impure water In the recent Balkan war cholera was reported in many places and many cases occurred. but the disease never became epidemic. With the as- sistance of the highly efficient sanitary services of modern armies, widespread epidemics of such diseases may be pre- vented It has been suggested that the coming of winter may aid in preventing the spread of cholera. However, the in- creased moisture and seepage of surface water carrying contamnating material as well as the closer contact of human be- ings engendered by the winter season make infection still more likely. As in aid to protection, active immunization of men with the Haffkine vaccine may be practiced. Possibly conditions in this war will be the means of determining still more exactly the status of this pro- tective measure.

 About the only lime some married couples agree on anything is when the wife exclaims: "Oh, I wish I had been born a man."
 The reason why . man knows that his wife hasn't any Sense of Humor Is be- cause the girl he takes out to dinner all ways laughs at his jokes and thinks they are Awfully Funny. Some men are so suspicious that they won't embrace an opportunity because they do not know who has been embrac. ing 1t before.

"I ADORE WAR"

From the Chicago Tribune.
 e<1ADoRE war; wrote the British
 subaltern to the folk back home.
 Tt is like big picnic without the objectlessness of a picnic. I've never been so well or so happy"
 We know the subaltern Is, or if he be not now surviving, was, a nice boy. Evil dences of that are all over his letter, which the Tribune published Thursday. He'd be tolerant and tolerable at tea, oppressed at opera and happy in the halls; he'd divide his life by tweeds, fan nels and evening clothes. a normal. en- gazing young masculine animal who in normal times would come, with age, to whiskers and a family.
 q adore war" That is the nice young fellow after he's been in the trenches and seen his men shot down around him. He did not pretend to like the sound of shrapnel or of rifle fire, but, admitting his dislike of these concomitants. he liked the general situation. He liked his oc- cupation and his hazards. his discom- forts and dangers. He was having a good time.
 This is where the reasonable pacifist stands perplexed. The young subaltern is not abnormal. He'll have to be multiplied by thousands if the composition of the various armies is to be understood. He doesn't want to be shot; he may endure. but he does not like pain; he likes war. If men like the thing called the greatest curse of humanity. how are they to be held in check?
 It may be youth. Youth is the darling of the gods. It's consciousness of protec- tion is an armor against fate. After Al a man gets other ideas. He has begun to go to funerals. He feels that he has been showed out on the firing line. It may be his turn next. He grows cautious. He becomes circumspect. He sees that he is finite.
 Youth is infinite. It is important. It is reserved by the scheme of things for ac- complishment. Fate may put hand pre-
