BELGIAN LEGEND.

Kurt was n miller and owned his
own fine mill, which went merrily
click-clack, cllck-clack. all day long.
! One evening Kurt was at supper
when he suddenly remembered that
he had promised 90 meet neighbor.
Hansa. the blacksmith. at that very
hour.
Up he rose at once. for Kurt was a
man OF his word, and left his supper
unfinished-a slice or two OF meat, half
loaf Of bread and little cider In the
tin mug.
When Kurt reached his home in the
mill he was 80 tired and sleepy that he
went straight OF 20 bed.
When he rose In the morning he was
surprised TO find that the bread, the
meat and the cider had all disappeared.
Still stranger. however. was Il that
oil the grain that Kurt had intended
pouring into the grain sacks was al.
ready neatly packed away.
or course Kurt knew that II must be
the elves who had been so obliging.
The next night Kurt was careful TO
set out on the table meat. bread and
cider. as well as the bags which were
to be filed again with the grain.
Next morning the food was gone. and
again were the sacks neatly filed.
Thus II went on for a long time.
One night Kurt thought to himself.
II think III watch this evening and
get glimpse OF the Little People"
So that very evening Kurt hid him
self in one OF the big corn bins after
placing the meat and bread on the
table.
AS the clock struck IL he peered out
and saw one little fellow dressed in
brown. like the color OF the forest
leaves I'm autumn. with red pointed
shoes and a red cap. ornamented with
a beautiful silk tassel. come into the
room.
Then a second came and n third,
and then another and another. until
the room seemed oiled with them
Promptly they began to work. and
all would have been well for Kurt II It
had not happened that the grain when
being poured into the bags made so
much dust that some OF II few into
Hurts nostrils. and before he could
help himself II made him sneeze.
Immediately every elf stopped work
ing. for they were very angry ut being
spied upon. Then they began to stamp
about. crying aloud:
Keep your sup and keep your bite.
Come We here no more at night
Frying Kurt. your luck is Ger:
Elves will work for Kurt no more.
And never again did Kurt have any
help from the little people. for they
never came back 10 the mill.

LIFE's COMMON THINGS.

Where nesting song birds find a home.

In point of attractiveness the cleo
trical exposition is by far the most
unique and fascinating industrial prof.
ect ever conceived in this territory.
Not only are the two large exhibition
halls supplied with every conceivable
device operated by electricity, or hav-
ing some electrical origin, but visitors
also are given intimate knowledge of
the actual operation Of these various
appliances. Huge motors and the
smallest domestic implements, such as
potato parers, fat irons and hair curl
ers are shown in actual use, every
booth of the 200 or more exhibits hav-
ing several displays that represent the
actual use of electricity in the demon
STATIONS made.
Here also may be seen the method
by which a street car is operated; an
underground electric lighting system
installed; a shoe repaired by electric
fly; railroad service protected by au-
tomato electric signals, and one thou
sand and one other uses to which this
great unseen energy is put in the
home. the factory, the store, the office
and the public utility.
The exposition demonstrates most
thoroughly the rapid strides which
electricity is making as an indispensa-
BILE element in business, educational,
manufacturing. domestic and social de-
velopment. Here one may see the
manner in which electricity is gradu-
ally dominating the dairy industry by
supplanting human hands in the mat
ter Of milking cows and straining, sep
arating and churning the milk; the
faithful hen Of barnyard fame is re-
placed by an electric incubator, sup
plemented by an electric hen," In
which chickens are Matched and moth
cred in even more perfect manner than
Dame Nature herself designed; cider
is pressed by electricity; chickens
roasted. biscuits baked, potatoes fried.
eggs boiled. coffee cooked by electric
ity; the weeks washing is thoroughly
done and the clothes ironsd or reno
waited by electricity.
Nor have electrically operated
amusements been overlooked In the
general conduct OF the exposition. The
central attraction is the immense Ice
skating rink on the stage OF Music
Hall. Here, on a surface about 30 feet
wide and 30 long, a corps OF the lead
ing Toe skating experts of the world
give continuous exhibitions, the ice
upon which they perform being refrig
Grated by Cincinnati made machines,

special attractions, OF which the many
wonderful Illuminating features, chief
among which are the Hall of a Mil
lion Prisms." In the foyer Of Music
Hall, and the Aurora Borealis effect In
connection with the Polar scene In the
ice skating rink, are perhaps the most
striking.
Band concerts, musical programs By
the famous Marimba Orchestra, who
produce fascinating music on bamboo
chimes, . cabaret performance in the
grand cafe and special music in many
of the booths add greatly to the life
and general sttractiveaess of the e.

Logic and dialectics for the schoolmen; Greek and Latin and theology for the clergymen; rhetoric, literature and eloquence for the lawyer and orator; and the noble art of killing his fellows, whether with @ spear or with the AZ centimeter gun, for the soldier. Has not each of the whole catalog of the o-called honorable and learned pro fessions dictated in turn the type of education of the day? And, now, with in the last half a century, the masses have asked equal rights with the classes. The artisan has arrived upon the educational stage, the mechanic, the farmer, the doer of things, as well as the thinker of thoughts, demanding training for his own special life work. Perhaps the most significant factor in your educational life today is that edu- cation known as industrial or voca- tional.

 COULD REMEMBER
L. E. Bailey of This City Gains Eight Pounds and
 Gets Over Old Troubles

''As far back as I can remember I've suffered with severe headaches" said MT. L. E. Bailey, who resides at 25O1 Nine teenth avenue, Birmingham, to the Tan lac representative last week, but l haven't had one now in two months and the way I feel I don't think I will be troubled with them any more, for I've been taking Tanlac
 My liver has always given me trouble and my stomach would get out of shape and stay that way for weeks at a time, 7 continued MT. Bailey. T would have the headache sometimes for a week right on a stretch, and I would suffer so would almost die
 T was mighty careful with what 1 would eat, but what 1 did eat would sour on my stomach and would make me sick and I would have to vomit it up I had several doctors to see me and they all said that it was my liver not working and they would give me medi- cine, but it would only give me little relief, and then the trouble would come right back on me.
 My appetite was bad anyway, but when would have the headache l would not eat anything and when they would go away I would be as weak as a kit ten. got no better and as l had taken most every kind of medicine that l saw advertised or heard about l almost lost all faith in anything that would be rec commended to me.
 "I saw your advertisement in the paper about two months ago and thought 1 would just try one bottle and see 1T It would do for me what it had done for others. The first bottle convinced me that was taking the right thing and without stopping I took four bottles and want to tell you that I haven't had the headache since I finished the first bottle It seemed to make my food di- gest and help me everyway, and l felt better and brighter than I had in years.
 My appetite came back to me, and can eat anything I want now and 1t will digest and not sour on my stomach. have gained eight pounds on the four bottles and I am still taking it and feel that I will get back my lost weight right along.
 ssTanlac did just what I wanted it to do, and to people who have to su1er from headaches like I had, T gladly rec ommend it, knowing that it will do them good. I believe it to be the best medi- cine in the world and I am mighty glad found it. To be relieved of those nead- aches is something to be thankful for and I give Tanlac all the credit in the world for it."
 Tanlac is sold in Birmingham exclu- sively by Patton-Pope Drug company, and Eugene Jacobs drug store. In Ems ley by the D. w. Morris Drug company. In Bessemer by the Pegram-Patton Drug company Tn Pratt City by the Gale Drug company. In North Birmingham by the Walker Drug company.-Adv. 'f

 it? M

general public that the commission is floundering about with no definite end in view. There is an unhealthy feeling on the streets. The people are distrustful. They are disgruntled. You should stop exploiting through the press immature ideas while they are in the merely forma- tive stage.
 The development of Birmingham de- bends on the encoura cement of outside capital. We must beware of sending out word that capital is unwelcome in this city. We must make capital feel that in Birmingham equal justice is for all.
