Her face was like some song that
lives always
In hearts a-worn and needing its re-
fran.
The tracings in her brow were like fine
lace,
That long within sweet lavender has
lain.
His arm was clasping hers by right
divine;
Protectingly he held her TO his side, !
Nor thought her quaint old bonnet
aught but fine
An honored king, he held her salts
fed.
And thus, in tune to loves old sweet
est song,
Subdued became the pace of those
a-near;
And peace descended on the surging
throng,
As though each soul had heard an
answering prayer.

CENTRAL HIGH FIVE
 VICTORIOUS AGAIN

Another severe defeat was dealt out by the fast Central High school five, this time to the team from the Besse- mer High school the final score being 47 to 8. The visitors were very lucky to score. their lone count coming when Hill their "skyscraper" center, knocked the ball in the basket from the knock eff.
 The game was a wholesale slaugh- ter, and when the goals began to come, the scorer found that he had a difficult job Of the total of AZ points, 29 were registered in the first half, mainly by Gillam and Baker. Henley was kept from rolling up his usual goals by the effective guarding of Scott.
 The Bessemer boys showed good ma terial, but they had no scientific knowl- edge of the game. and were unable to cope with the efficient pass work of the locals. The whole team played good ball and during the second half the famous "cubs' were sent in, and they likewise rolled the count higher. Goodall figured chiefly in this, making 6 goals
 For Bessemer, Scott and Hill played the best game. Director Mitchell Of the Y. NJ. c. A. refereed an excellent game.
 The summary follows: Central-Hen- ley, Gillam and Harrell forwards Baker and Goodall, center; DorslSey and Hughes. forwards; Hill, center; Scott and Smith, guards.

In their haste to finish before the Pastors Union or Sheriff Batson inter fered the quintet of the Birmingham Athletic club played such phenomenal basketball last night that the "Adiron- dacks" of Port Henry, N. Y, were trimmed to the tune of 52 to 20. It was the second victory of the Birmingham Athletic club this season. and was well comed accordingly.
 Owing to the widespread report that fanatics would attempt to stop the basketball game on account of alleged brutality of the sport only a sprink- ling of the usual fans and fanettes were on hand to see the game with the northern visitors. Following the game the usual dance was held and the northern boys displayed better form at the fox trot than at shooting bask cts. The game was featured by the num- Der of baskets Clay. the elongated cen ter of the Birmingham Athletic club, was able to ring up. Without unduly exerting himself Clay threw Is ringers before he was taken out of the game, as Dr. Glow, the physical director, noticed that Manager MiIlikon, who was keeping score, was suffering from writer's cramp from chalking mp the baskets Clay was shooting with mo Dotonous regularity. Eighteen baskets in game is a record for Birming gham Athletic club athlete in regulation basketball game.
 Other than the playing of Clay, the all-round work of the whole team fea- tured. The Birmingham Athletic club boys passed neatly and shot accurately. They displayed true form and shove that Doc Glow had been talking to the boys since the defeat in Atlanta last Saturday night
