Golf Course AT Green Springs

Exception has been taken to the proposed golf links Green
Springs park on account of expense
There Will be to the city except the cleaning
up OF the park which already This be done with
the city convlcts and the regular city street forces
1t is no less than outrage to leave this beautiful
wooded park in its present soveny condition 1t should be
cleaned up and kept clean just the other parks which the
city maintained from clearly and sanitary point of
view.
In few days the regular city forces could clean this park
the city engineer under the direction of Mr. Hail. the expert
golfer could lay off the golf Inks the fertilizer from the city
stables could be used enrich the soil and the necessary grass
seed to be planted will be donated
Indeed there sufficient public spirited citizens in Biz
mngham who would be glad contribute the construction
of public building, with shower baths and lockers to make
the municipal golf attractive And The AgeHerad as
newspaper will undertake to raise the necessary funds by
public subscription 1t that there hundreds of patr
otto citizens in Birmingham who would be glad to contribute
to such good cause.
The people of Birmingham in favor of making Green
Springs park available pleasure ground the city com
mssoners favor it, and The Herald proposes to
that it is thus made if member of The Age Herald
force of hundred has put in day work with pick and
shovel to accomplish it.

A MIsER OF THE SOUL

A MISER OF THE SOUL
From Success.
He was suspicious of everybody. Hel
never threw the doors of his heart wide
open to people, or took them into his
confidence
He was always ready to receive assist
ance from them, but always too busy or
toe stingy to assist them in their time
of need.
He regarded friendship as luxury to
be enjoyed instead Of an opportunity for
service.
He never learned that implicit, gem
erous trust is the very foundation stone
Of friendship.
He never thought it worth while to
srend time in keeping up his friend.
ships.
He did not realize that friendship will
not thrive on sentiment alone-that there
must be service to nourish it,
He did not know the value of thousht-
fitness in little things.
He was not loyal to others
He never hesitated to sacrifice their
reputation for his advantage.
He was always saying mean things
about them in their absence.
He measured therif up by their ability
to advance him.

From the New York Times.

From the New York Times.
JAMES j. HILL added the wealth of
an empire to the United States
and died worth an uncertain sum
above an estimate of $520OO,000. His es-
tato would have been twice as large if it
had included the iron ore properties
which were distributed as an extra
to holders of "his'' railway. Through
his position as trustee for his share
holders he came into information
and belief that the company
ought to own the great ore es-
tates. which he bought with his personal
without personal profit. That was his
way, and like the way of his associate.
Pierpont Morgan. Nobody ever said
either betrayed a trust. They were the
soul of Wall street more truly than the
hucksters and tricksters of the market
who too often pass as representatives of
Wall street.
In the estate Of each of them there was
a surprise. Mr.. Morgan owned one share
of the Steel corporation. Mr.. Hill owned
comparatively little of the railways with
which his name and fame. are most init
mately associated. Mr.. Morgan used to
say that he was a midwife, not nurse.
His III crest in his promotions was
largely exhausted when they had been
fairly born. 1t was different with Mr.
Hill. He was essentially a nurse, con-
cerned with the development of the
properties which Mr.. Morgan often
brought into being for him. Yet he died

THE EMPIRE BUILDERS WILL

leaving the largest item of his estate
in bank stocks.
1t is striking evidence of the good faith
of his belief, often asserted, that the
railways were being regulated neither in
their interest nor in the countrys No
less than $25,000,OO0 of his wealth, half
or a quarter, according to his. real total,
was in bank stocks. OF railroad shares
he had but 100000, and of bonds like
amount. Together they are little more
than half of his bank stocks. Mostly
they represented institutions in the Twin
Cities,' and there was another surprise.
His fellow citizens often thought he was
too much interested in distant affairs,
and neglected local enterprises. Yet it
appears that through his bank shares
he was doing more for the industries of
St, Paul and Minneapolis than for his
railway.
More than s20o0,OOo more was in adj
vances, practically benefactions in loans
to schools, commercial associations,
clubs and SO on. OF "cats and dogs"
there is not trace. In cash he had 81
449, 34S. A close investor would never
have had so much idle money. Usually
a capitalist with such an amount Of
liquid funds is in a state of preparedness
for something which he anticipates. 1t
would be interesting to know what the
empire builder had in mind as a use for
those millions. Were they going out of
railways and into something else, and
were they intercepted in their passage
by the last call?

A CROWD ON FIFTH AVENUE

From the New York Globe.
The other day man walked up Fifth
avenue with seven dogs. They were all
collies and theirs was the task of anus
ing the frequenters of a, roof garden en-
tertainment. The man who has to take
one dog for an airing is frequently an OBJ
ject not only of pity, but of contumely.
But this man with seven had certain
pride in the thing. He brought to the
task dignity. 1t was his job and he was
a master at it.
At the corner of Fifth avenue and
Forty-nnth street he decided that he
wanted a cigarette. 1t was a joy to see
him manipulate those seven dogs and
that cigarette. 1t was such a joy, in
fact, that a crowd gathered. A man
trundling little girl in a tricycle. was
the first to stop. Then came several Pc
destrians They were augmented by
others. The young man was surrounded
not only by dogs, but by a ring of staring
men and women. The dogs sat in dig
nifed, if palpitant, circle about the young
man, and the younger man smoked nom
chalantly, and the crowd stared. When
at last the young man decided to leave
the crowd followed him. The man brisk
ly trundled the little girl and her tri-
cycle in his wake and the crowd came
after. All that was needed to make it
look like a parade was band and
drum major.
All of which goes to show that despite
oft-repeated statements to the contrary,
New York is the most easily amused city
in the world. A man and cigarette and
a septet of dogs fairly stopped the traf-
fic on one of the most blase thorough
fares known to magazine writer's. It's
village populated by young people.
