Barker Only Man Absent

Only one man of the 1912-191s team
Robert Barker--will not be back this
year, he having left school several
weeks ago. Barker was captain of this
seasons team and his absence not only
leaves a big hole in team but will also
necessitate new election for cap
taincy.
The old men back are veterans In
the game and. with the new men push
ing them, Coach Courleux should be
able to keep them on the edge
throughout the entire season.
Although none of the newcomers who
aspire to represent Central High on the
basketball court this season have had
any previous experience in varsity
basketball they have nevertheless
taken an active part in class games
and a majority of them are almost UP
to varsity calibre.

Scribbler sat trembling lest the land
lady should hear the beating of his

became aware that MIR. and Mrs.
Slumpkins we're engaged in unravel-
ing one of their domestic tangles.
At length there came light tap on
the door.
Scribbler looked toward the window
as possible avenue Of escape. How
ever, before he could make up his
mind to try the rainspout route the
door opened cautiously, and first
Slumpkins' bald head appeared and
then the rest of him crept slowly in.
In whisper he advised Scribbler
not to pay Mrs. Slumpkins, insomuch
as she was not the head of the house.
Scribbler acquiesced and Slumpkins
disappeared.
A little later another rap on the
door. this time more insistent, caused
Scribbler to look up. 1t was Mrs.
Slumpkins.
Say, don't pay my old man any
money, Mr.. Scribbler He won't do
nothing but drink it up. This morning

This, together with the fact that the
calf was not hitherto seen and the Pc

be taken as proof that the mother was

resting 1t on her tusks. with her trunk

The sympathy of this entire

Fred Reed, who had the misfor-
tune to lose brother in the Ok
lahoma floods several weeks ago.
Her brother, Mr.. Leo Lininger,
who lived at Geary. Okla, in COM
pany with many others, was out
on a large railroad bridge near
that town taking pictures of the
flood, which was one of the lar
gest that section has ever known,
when suddenly the entire bridge
was washed away. casting some
six men into the waters. Three
of the men were rescued but
three were unable to reach the
shore, their bodies being
washed down the stream for
considerable distance. The acci-
dent took place on Sunday, the
End, and Mr.. Lininger's body was
rescued on the 9th.
The railroad bridge was a struc-
ture which cost $125, 600, the
piers being imbedded some forty
feet in the ground, and the water
completely washed these piers
out.

AVERAGE SALES ON MORRIS AVENUE Supplies Are Adequate and Quotations Generally

Business began yesterday on Morris avenue with fairly good demand. Many of the wholesalers are replenish- ing stocks which in some cases had been all but exhausted by last weeks heavy trade. Fruits and produce, how ever, are in abundance and sales are up to the average.
 Fish dealers are also we'll supplied. oysters and almost all grades of fish being especially plentiful at this time. It is estimated that two carloads of Delaware bay oysters are received in Birmingham each week, besides large quantities of gulf oysters from the south. Four cars of snapper and two cars of mixed fish are also received when the weather is normal. At times when the seas are rough, as was the case in a recent equlnoctial storm. both fish and oyster supplies become exceed ingly scarce. At the present time the weather Is favorable for fishermen to ply their boats, and the Birmingham market Is abundantly supplied, prices being somewhat reduced.

New Orleans, November a.-New high levels for the present upward movement were established in the cotton market to- day on both spots and future contracts. January sold up to 75bo and spots were advanced three-slxteenths, middling being quoted at 71-1eo. The demand was good in both departments, but trading was hampered by the firnness of sellers.
 Bullish sentiment was encouraged by the advances in interior spot markets and by the sales of 20,014 bales on the spot reported by Dallas. Official notification from Liverpool that a meeting of mem- bers of the exchange there had been called for November 10 to arrange for the reopening of future business caused much favorable comment The trade expects tbe future rings to resume business on November 16.

 During the Boer war our army had its carrier pigeon system. The birds brought messages from all the towns heleaguered by the Boer invaders, and when Sir George Whites force was cooped up in Ladysmith winged mes sengers carried several dispatches from that gallant officer to the men who Were slowly fighting their way to his relief.
 The first war in which pigeons were used as messengers was the Franco PIussian. and the birds carried news into and out of besieged Paris. A post was established at Tours. and right through the siege regular malls were carried between Paris and Tours by pigeons.
