BEST SENTIMENTS
By IRENE WESTON

Wonderful how many people feel deeply about things that are wrong, isn't ity
 Thank heaven, nowadays story of suffering or of wrong done sets thousands of hearts beating the faster in sympathy and indignation that such things should happen" wrote a distinguished writer the other day. I felt quite pleased when I read that It seemed such good thing that hearts should beat faster on such an occa sion. Then I remembered an in cident that James Payn, the novelist, once related.
 A friend of his was one day walking down a street in the West Eno or Lon don in company with a man who re- make us ordinary mortals green with envy. Suddenly the rich one stopped and pointed to painted notice in a win dow.
 Who will help thel blind?' it was headed. and it set forth an appeal to persons to put their hands in their pock- cts to assist them.
 The wealthy one declared 1t went to his heart. He sympathized enormously with those deprived of sight. He grew quite eloquent on their suf3erings. His companion listened. drinking in each word Then the rich one, having fin ished, slipped his arm once more in his and proposed they should walk on.
 Do you know" said his companion, T have never ptied those poor folks so much before? What hard-hearted wretch I've been! I'm going in to plank down a sovereign. It's only bit, but it will do something. Let's help"
 The wealthy one seemed stunned for moment Then he suddenly remembered he had a most pressing engagement. and, hailing a taxicab, was whirled off
 If you imagined he sent a check later on, you would be mistaken. He was one of those people who have hearts that beat just enough-and that's all. Noth- ing comes of it ins the shape of action.
 T have known vast numbers of peo- ple," once said Lord Beaconsfieic, whose hearts have been, as they say, in the right place, but those hands have never been there. There has been no apparent connection between the two. They delude themselves with the idea that reeifng is enough. I know a gentleman myself whose heart is filled with indignation at cruelty to children. He is content with that. He leaves 1t there. I don't believe he has ever in his life done 50 mucn as cross street to alleviate a childs mis- cry"
 Max Adler used to tell the story of gentleman he knew who was an early riser 'at heart" Upon one occasion when there was a meeting in his ne.gnpornood of early rising enthusiasts, Adler found himself seated next to a man who listened to the speeches and greeted the points the orators made with enthusiastic ap- plause. At last he became so enthused that he actually rose himself and derIv- cred an eloquent speech on the beauties of early rising. and how 1t was the way to health, wealth and wisdom. At the break ing up of the meeting Adler and the en- thysastic one, leaving together. suddenly found themselves confronted by an indi- vidual who placed before them a mys- terious piece of paper Tt was pledge on the signers part to rise early himself

college, Rome, Ga, speaks of Miss Hidden in the highest terms as follows:
 Miss Mamie M. Hiden of Virginia comes of family whose members have been distinguished for the independence and originality of their work, whether done in the schoolroom or in the pulpit. Miss Hiden herself is a woman of un- usual talent and ability, and her oppor- tunities. for self-improyement have vee- exceptionally good. She is a R. A. grad uate of the Woman's college of Richmond and has pursued studies at other places, being for six years a student at the Uni versity of Virginia summer school. l have problems, and am impressed with the about educational matters.
 She loves her work for its own sake, and takes honest pride in doing it well ; Is an efficient and enthusiastic teacher. Although she is a strict disciplinarian, she is liked by all her pupils
 Miss Hiden is member of the Baptist church, but 1 do not think she is narrow or prejudced and am sure that she can and does work in perfect harmony with teachers who hold other religious views
 "On the personal side she is very hand some and attractive, and makes a good impression on those she meets"
 Miss Hidens coming to Birmingham is awaited with pleasant anticipation by many who will accord her a most cordial welcome and that she will be a great ad- dition not only to the faculty of Howard college, but to the entire community as well, is an assured fact.

MODERN THIEVERY
AUTOMOBILES USED IN CARRY
ING AWAY STOLEN GRAIN.

Aberdeen, Nov. 20.--A new form
OF up to date thievery appears to
have developed in this region, where
a number of farmers and elevators
report thefts of grain, apparently by
automobile thieves No individual
has lost great amount of grain, but
the grain stolen must amount in the
aggregate to thousands of bushels.
A. Oliver, a farmer near Groton,
left wagon load of grain standing
over night. Next morning when he
went out to hitch his horses to the
wagon to haul the grain to an ele-
vator In Groton. he found about half
the grain missing. A sack was found
beside the wagon, but there was no
name or Identification mark on the
sack.
On the Streeter farm, west of Gro
ton, someone drove up in an automo-
bile during the night, filled a number
of sacks with grain and drove off.
They, too, were careless with their
sacks and left two on the ground be-
side the granary. These sacks bore
the name of man whom Streeter is
confident would not steal. and 1T is
supposed the sacks were stolen.
On the James farm, near the
Streeter farm, the same thing occur
red. At this place the granary is
high, necessitating the thieves climb
ing to enter it and one sack of grain
fell and burst open, and was left on
