pleasure craft and sites upon its

to height of 800 feet and the seen

THE Warrior river runs for 100
miles through the greatest coal de-

waters edge and coal can be brought

barges. This coal field lies nearer
tidewater than any other in the Unit

every day in the year, as it neither
freezes in winter nor dries up in the
summer.
Cheaper Transportation.
1.-THE cost sheets of the Pratt Con-
solidated Coal Company demon
strate the cheapness of river trans
portation for they show that coal can
be barged from their mines above
Lock II to Mobile for less than fifty
cents a ton, against rate by rail of
$1.10. One of the greatest coaling
stations in the United States, and one
many miles nearer than any other to
the Panama Canal will undoubtedly
be established on Mobile Bay. where
depth of sixty feet is found over an
area large enough to float all the
vessels of our navy at one time.
Birmingham, which with it's sub

been shipped from New York, coming
up the river to Maxine and thence by
motor trucks to the city. at rate

a first class concrete road and also for

The Duke has had nunberIess affairs with the fair sex and on one occasion he was publicly spanked by an athletic and enraged husband From Brussels, where he has long been a. familiar figure, the Duke has issued many proclamations calling upon his French subjects to arise and follow him along the paths that lead to glory. but these pronounce ments have only been source of r1lirth to Frenchmer1. The Dukes last appearance in the limelight was when he made a tour of South Ameri- ca with lady not his wife.

The latter has spent some time in America, and is a scholar and a gen. tIeman.

Her answer:

London, Nov. IS, 1s-.
 My Dear MT. O'ConnelI-I am glad in deed to have your letter and to know you are free again. I have often thought of your misery during all these months and longed to do something to assuage it. It is only when a, friend is in need and all avenues of help are closed to him that a woman realizes how helpless she is.
 That they have not crushed your spirit does not surprise me. I was as sure of day. That you do not work actively in Ireland at once is, am sure, wise. Fool hardness is not courage.
 In a little while the English government may realize how hopeless it is to try to conquer people who have liberty in their hearts. Then they will abate the r1gor of their unjust laws.
 When that day comes you must return and take up the mission with renewed strength and hope and stimulated by the added experience of bitter suffering.
 I should most certainly like to see you in London. I am staying with distant connection of the family. We go to the south of France in a few weeks. have been very nl-anotE1er reproach to the weakness of woman. am almost racov- cred now, but far from strong. I have to lie still all day.

 Looking forward to seeing you, in all sincerity, ANGELA KINGSNORTH.

DUKE OF ORLEANS, WoUID-BE
 KING OF TRANCE, 46 TO-DAY

Although the rank and file of
 French roya1ists and fmperialists are now fighting shoulder to shoulder with the republicans and socialists in de- fense of La Patrie,'' not a few of the descendants of the ancient fam flies of the old regime are praying flor a German victory, in the belief that the Kaiser would favor the re- establishment of the monarchy. Whatever the result of the war, it is altogether unlikely that the French
 people would ever submit to the re- storation of the throne. and all the less so because the present head of the French Bourbon house, the Duke of Orleans, has become an object of generation and ridicule. The pre- tender, who is descended from the Orleans or younger branch of the Bourbons, is forty -six years old to- day. Philippe succeeded his father as head of the royal family of France about twenty years ago, and since then his escapades have alien ated even many of those who favor the royaliSt cause. He married the Archduchess Marie Amelia of Austria, but his treatment of her was such that he has been called "the royal wife-beater.' A year or two ago she brought suit against the Duke for a
 legal separation, alimony. and the

WHEN ONE CANNOT FORGET
Dear Miss Libbey:


 I am a girl of eighteen, considered good looking. kept company with a gentleman of twenty one almost two years. He seemed to think a good deal of me. He was always taking me some place to enjoy myself. We often had little spats; none ever amounted to anything. About three months ago we fell out. We never quarreIed, but it was because I made an appointment to meet him and could not fill it. I let him know that I couldn't go. This in- suited him. He couldn't come to tell me that we had quit; he wrote to me that he had decided to quit company. I think a good bit of him. cannot forget him. I have allowed several other gentlemen to call, but it seems as though I can't forget. I asked him to call and explain. This he refused to do. see him often. He always speaks friendly to me. Please advise. He has never been out with another girl since we quit.
 MARY. The fault is not yours that you fell out. A girl has a right to tell young man if she cannot go out with him. He should be more anxious to suit her wishes, in inviting her to accompany him, in the near future if he cares for her. When he cannot forget you, he will visit or write if he can come and see you once more.

THE LOVING AGE.

Dear Miss Libbey:
 am a young girl of nineteen and am going with man of twenty-five. have been going with him for two months and like him much better than any young man I have ever bean ac- quainted with. Would you please tell me if he is too old for me or notT Thanking your for your advice.
 RF. A young man of twenty-five is by no means too old to become the dance of a girl of nineteen. Shakespeare contended that it was much better for a woman to choose a mate for mar riage who was ten years her senior.

A JEALOUS SWEETHEART
Dear Miss Lfbbey:

Dear Miss Lfbbey:
 I'm a young girl of nineteen years, going with a young man one year my senior steady for two years. I love him ahd am sure he does me. There is another girl of eighteen years who loves him, too. She is trying to win him frcm me- He says he don't care for anybody but me. Do you think he really cares for me or not?
 FEB. Why not give your lover the benefit of the doubt? If he does not encour- age your rival and earnestly assures you that you are the one nearer and dearer to him than III others, you have every reason to believe he loves you and you only. When he proposes mar

 In joy or grief, but most in love;
 Like chords in unison they move, And thrill with like vibration.''
 There are women in whose hearts love springs LID with the suddenness of the mushroom. They meet and ad- nnire after seeing each other several times, then make the discovery they have lost their heart. There is no cause for alarm if their sentiments are reciprocated. But, like the fruit which ripens too quickly, in the mans case 1t is lfkely quite as quickly to decay, and he casts about for a loophoIe to break away from love.
 Where one man is frank enough to own the state of affairs there are hun are at a loss as to how to undo their past fervent love-nazing. Few of them are co1d-b1ooded' enough to say to girl who adores them: 1T liked you we'll enough yesterday, but today find a change has come over the spirit of my dreams. I would be pleased to cease coming if you will kindly call l it of.''
 He cuts down his visits from three 1 times a week to once a, fortnight. In stead of answering her notes promptly he makes excuses about being too busy; that his evenings are no longer his own. He has to dine out with GUS toners. If she hears he was at a dance with some pretty girl. his req l son for it is also tackled onto business, his employer. asking him to take a young lady who was visiting at his house to the dance. He couldn't re- fuse, etc. Few are so blind as the wo-
 men who will not see. They believe these lame excuses because they want to believe them. Their better judg- nent tells them that nos power on earth will keep a man from the side of the woman he loves if he is physi- ca11y able to reach her side, or some matter of grave importance does not interfere with his hopes and plans. i She knows full well that 1t is a dan ger signal when he begins to make ex-
 cuses Her hungry heart clings tena- l ciously to one kindly word he has
 spoken in the past, an endearing name
 he may have called her in moment
 when the flame of love burned hottest in his breast. She resents the conso- 1ation which those about her would bestow upon her, as she does their i opinion that he no longer loves her. She clings to for1orn hope, though sound sense has torn it almost to tat mess is over he will come back to her as loving as ever.
 She believes she would be doing an injustice to him to distrust him. No matter what he says or does she will tnot blame him. Even when he does fcorne out with the plain truth and ask her to set him free she is sure that he never uttered those unk1nd words of his own accord, but that some one having great sway over him influenced him to this step. It is not until lhe leads another to the altar that she opens her eyes to the cold fact that his love is not hers. Women should not be blind to facts when cooI1y pre- sented to them. When a man beeins to make excuses, let him go.
