two cigars.

certain disaster, through the exercise of
 skill and deliberate coolness in the midst of most disconcerting circum- stances would seem to lend ardor to the impetuous roller skater. One might imagine that members of the fairer sex would hesitate to venture on the more dangerous sections of the highway, but this is by no means the case, for the young society buds have developed re- markable skill and boise on the little hoops of steel. Skating parties are now all the go, and the thrill and excite ment of rapid motion is lending impetus to the craze. It has been my pleasure recently to attend several of these out door affairs, and I can say without the slightest affectation that I have never spent more enjoyable evenings than when thus engaged.
 Among the popular society girls who have acquired remarkable skill on the roller skate, worthy of especial note, are Misses Margaret O'Brien, Elizabeth White, Virginia White. Alma Papot and Carrie Papot, and the young man who wishes to make any showing at all among the ladies of this smart set must indeed be no novice in the skating game"

Another Fish Story

l have just returned from the west coast of Florida where I have been en- toying some fine fishing for the past few days, said A. S Preston. mayor of Jasper, who was at the Morris last night. T had wonderful luck in fish ing and succeeded in landing a fine eight pounder, along with number of lesser size. Now, that is no fish story; and Knowing that some of you fellows would be inclined to smile when I told about that big fish, I had photograph made of my catch. And, to make it doubly certain, I have a number Of affidavits from prominent Florida citizens which will use in substantiation of that story. The fishing is fine down there and in addition the weather was so warm I had to wear Palm Beach clothes all the time However I believe that year in and year out, the climate of Alabama suits me much better than the warmer weather of Florida

met with little favor. While nonal- coholic, or practically so, this was not the only fault found with it, as it had rather flat, insipid taste and was poor substitute for real beer.
 However, in cases where near beer" was conspicuously advertised as a blind and patrons were served with their favorite brew, big busi- ness was done, until the authorities finally broke up the practice by mak- ing wholesale arrests. Nowadays one never hears of "near beer" in Ala bama, although but short time ago it was sold in many cities. If so strictly nonalcoholic it could still be served, but there is no demand for it. Experienced beer drinkers soon passed judgement on it, public cour- tesy was satisfied and near beer" became thing of the past.

Beautiful Programmes

Both programmes which the New York Philharmonic orchestra will present at the Bijou May I-afternoon and night are wonderfully attractive,'' said William Gussen, director of the festival chorus
 I regard Josef Stransky, the conductor of the Philharmonic, as one of the great est 1iying-in a class with Dr. Muck and Dr. Kunwald, and Birmingham was cer- tainly fortunate in securing him. The or chestra which he leads is one of the best in this country. Theodore Thomas was for many years it's conductor.
 "All the orchestral numbers which will be rendered here will be heard for the first time by local audiences, although many Birmingham people have of course listened to Mendelssohn's 'F'ingal's Cave overture and Beethovens Eroica sym phony in New York or other northern cities
 Victor Herberts cantata The Cap- tive which is the concluding number on the night programme, is sure to make a hit. It is very beautiful, is short and is one of the most popular things Her bert has ever written.''

Mexican War of the Forties

Few veterans of the Mexican war are yet living. The Americans en-
 gagged in that spirited struggle-from
 April 24, 1846, to July 4, 184S-as
 compiled by the government from au- thentic sources numbered: Regulars, 3O954: militia and volunteers, 73,776;
 total, 112,230.
 It does not seem long while ago
 when the Mexican war veterans num-
 bered high in the thousands, but the pension list revised up to June 30, 1915, showed that only 6S0 survived, and it is estimated that on June 30 of this year fewer than 400 will be left. It would be noteworthy coincidence if the United States had to intervene in Mexico and start new list of vet erans just as the remnant of the brave men of the forties was dwindling to the vanishing point.
 Despite the fact that this is peace loving country and has never main- tained large standing army, it has had many armed conflicts since the revolution. Every generation has seen the United States at war. And as much as bloody strife is abhorred none of the present generation will live to the time when there will be neither war nor rumors of war
 In former hostilities the United States suffered both in treasure and in the loss of human life through lack of preparedness. But the people-all but the ultra -pacifists-now realize the necessity of being ready for any eventuality. The day is gone when the United States can feel secure without adequate national defense on land and sea.

HopEwELL,s BIRTHDAY

From the Richmond Times-Dispatch
 Just year og Hopewell was born. A year encompasses it's whole existence, but Hopewell in these F months has lived half a century. Almost within itself it has traced the rise of modern civil ization From lawlessness has emerged law; from disorder, order; from ugliness, an approach to beauty. A little time ago and Hopewell had the aspect of west ern mining camp; today it is a stable and prosperous community, grateful to the great enterprise that called it into be- ing, but looking forward confidently to the establishment of other industries and helping manfully in the good work.
 Virginia has pride in this youngest city within her borders. Hopewell should have a special and particular affection for the old mother, for it was to the wisdom foresight and courage of the states executive thae responsibility for much of Hopewell's substantial growth and assured future must be assigned. There was time when Hopewell forgot itself and lived wholly and noisily and loosely in the present, neglecting thought of the future. Continuance in that course would have been fatal, and 1t was Gov ernor Stuart who caused the awakening who put forth the strong arm of the state and shook the lusty infant into good behavior.
 As it is, the future holds no terrors for this enterprising continuity. Declining to yield itself wholly to any corporation, however powerful, it is molding it's own destiny and carving its own fate. That cess.

FRIENDS VIEW OF COL. HOUSE

nounced, turned McAdoo out. and went t. work. He found Colonel House at his elbow. The funds again began to flow in, and at the close of the cam paign more than s1,0O0.oo0 had been con tributed. Colonel House was able to make McAdoo and McCombs think they House was cordial to both alike but he liked Wilson best.
 This brings me to the inauguration of President Wilson. At that time House was unknown in national politics, but his fame was fast increasing. As the Presi- dents friend, his responsibilities began to enlarge. Dealing with Texas politics is one thing; dealing with the affairs of great republic is distinctively another. Aiding and comforting governor is a trifle compared with giving new Pres ident of the United States the right start. It is history now that House became Will sons St. Peter. He sat on the right side-and there was no one on the left. It is safe to say that no private citizen was ever so close to a President. The relation was wholly different from that between President Mckinley and Mark Hanna, who dictated appointments. House simply advises when asked; and he has been consulted often.
 There is no use in growing about Houses part in the selection of the Will son cabinet. Some like it. Some do not. I am positive the colonel had nothing to do with the selection of the Secretary of Labor, and as little with Daniels ap- pointment He was consulted as to all the others. President Wilson wanted to know about Franklin K. Lane. House looked him up, and pronounced him one of the best. Burleson had little trouble, because House had known him for 9 years. When the middle west raised it's voice for one of the cabinet places, Hous- ton from Missouri was considered-and appointed He had lived in Texas many years as president of the Texas uni versty and was friend of Gregory and Colonel House. It is not likely that House bothered himself much about Red field. He seemed to be entirely avail able. The President wanted Colonel House to be Secretary of the Treasury but House politely declined the honor and suggested McAdoo. Public opinion select ed Bryan for the portfolio of state, and House approved. House then had to reconcile Bryan to his associates
 When Bryan made his spectacular exit from the state department, many eyes turned to Colonel House to see if there were signs of his weakening on a for mer resolution to accept no office, but he flatly refused to consider the sugges- ton.
