kNEELrNG IN PRAYER

BY Longfellow.
Oft have ! seen at some cathedral door
A laborer. pausing in the dust an
heat, 81
Lay down his burden, and with revene
feet
Enter, and cross himself. and on the floo
Kneel to repeat his paternoster Ger;
Far off the voices of the world retreat
The loud vociferations of the street
Become an indistinguishable roar.
&c. as / enter here from day to day,
And leave my burden at this minsts
gate,
Kneeling in prayer and not ashamed
pray,
The tumult of the time disconsolate II
To inarticulate murmurs dies away,
While the eternal ages watch and wall

Troy Messenger: We were asking the
same question two years ago that we are
asking now: How long can that Euro
pean war last?" And we may be asking
the same question two years hence
Dothan Eagle: And now the soldiers
are to be sent to the border. Alabama S
have been on the border of despair over
having to stay so long at Montgomery.
Greenville Advocate: The allies have
pooled their gold supply, making Great
Britain treasure for the bunch. In the
meantime the United States secures CO.
pious supplies of the precious metal from

Montgomery Advertiser: Formerly doc
tors had to be gone for; now you tele-
phone them. Formerly doctors came in
a slow moving buggy; now they speed
up in automobiles. Formerly the United
States was under the control of the re-
publican party.
Talladega Home: Montgomery, Ala
bamas beautiful capital, wants to be a
great manufacturing and commercial CEN
ter. Well, she has the advantage of
position and facilities, but she ought to
be little less scrappy with her illus
trious neighbors, Mobile and Birming-
ham.
Mobile Register: There is no room to
question the progressiveness of Judge
Seabury, candidate for governor of New
York His decisions are on record show
ing where he stands. Yet Mr. Roose-
Welt, after his professions of fealty to
progressive ideas, is fighting Seabury, be-
cause Seabury praises Wilson. That sim
ply shows what Roosevelts professions
amount to.

CURED

landlubber dreams
OF life on the deep,
The wailing of winds
To lull him to sleep.
Where the fast flying foam
Whirls over the sea
And the mighty waves roll
His heart yearns to be.
And one day he stands
On the deck of a ship;
His. dream has come true
He'll take a sea trip.
Then Neptune awakes
And losses that bark;
The winds roar amain,
The heavens grow dark.
The landlubber pales,
His soul is opprest;
In his stomach he feels
A dreadful unrest.
The cause of his woe
We need not explain,
But once more ashore,
He says, never again."

College Fraternitie.

Ihe rushing season of the fraternities
at Auburn is now waning" said Robert
Goodall, Jr,, of Goodall- Brown Dry
Goods company. THE majority of the
Birmingham boys have determined with
which fraternity they will cast their
lot. This feature of the opening OF
school always provides much activity and
interest to the upper class men, who
seek to pledge the incoming freshmen
to the respective frats.
THE situation at the University OF
Alabama is different. BY virtue of a
pan-Hellenic agreement, the fraternities
do not extend bids to the freshmen until
in November. They are not permitted to
influence the choice of the newcomers
by undue displays of interest or friend
ship. This enables the freshmen to
choose more wisely and affords a good
opportunity to the fraternities to judge
as to the desirability of the men.
The deferred rushing season is be-
coming more general in college life A
considerable number of universities do
not permit undergraduates to affiliate
themselves with the frats until the Sec
ond year. This system has two sides
to it, though

Fair Advertising

The cooperation of the railroads ir
distributing handbills throughout Ala
bama in the stations to advertise the
Alabama State Fair has been most graft
flying, said B. H. Mooney, advertising
manager of the fair association. The
Alabama State Fair this year will be the
largest and best ever given in the his
tory of Alabama. A great amount OF
money has been expended for attrac-
tons, many of which are free.
THE railroads of Birmingham are
doing all in their power to help ad-
vertise the Alabama State Fair. Re
duced rates are offered on all lines
Large billboards have been placed al
the fairs disposal in all sections of Ala
bama From present indications. the
largest crowds that over attended faii
will be in Birmingham this October"

Styles Not Pronounced

THE developments observed in the new
model suits for the fall are not pro
nounced," said Alfred Porter, of the
Porter Clothing company. 1.-THE lapel
with the same soft roll, has been short
ened and cut narrower. The buttons or
the coat have been moved up. giving the
wearer longer skirt The coats are
fitting more snugly at the waist line. and
possess snappier appearance.
THE coat is without padding and the
trousers are cut straight, fitting the
wearer closely.
THE fall hats are of two varieties
both of which are considered quite fash
ionable. Some models, with broad brims
are enjoying a wide sale, although the
pencil edges are worn by smart dressers
in New York. The hats are, supposed tc
be worn further down on the head than
hitherto, and well off the face

THE Alabama brigade is now some-
thing for it's officers and enlisted men
to feel proud Of" said Walter Black
man, Jr., a member of Battery c, who
has been in Birmingham for the past
few days.
The brigade has been developed
from the rawest material and under the
most difficult circumstances to very
high standard of efficiency. and is now
considered one of the best trained corps
in the service other than those that
have been given the advantage of the
training corps on the border.
The entire brigade is now "a work
ing cooperative machine that is able
to produce fast and efficient work. The
men have been assigned to the par
ticular branch of the service they are
best fitted for and under the super
vision of their individual officers are
being instructed in their duties in
thorough manner.
THE development of an army corps
can only be accomplished by the CO.

Conditions in Birmingham are i'm

Caheen yesterday. Last Saturday was
the largest Saturday we have had in
the year of 1915, from business stand
point. Business has been improving
steadily for the past few months and
L believe we will find that things will
continue to pick up from now on.
The fact that every manufacturing

ing all it can to fill the numerous or

Tor the most pessimistic to know that
conditions are improving daily. 1 be-
lieve that most of the merchants OF

than they have had for sometime. When
the merchants do a good business it is
sure sign that the people are at

WHEN Capt. Won papen was in
wv formed that his room was
more desirable than his company in
America and returned home to the
bosom of the Kaiser he was of course
decorated. But there were greater
honors in store for him. He was
placed in command
Capt. Won Papen of battalion at
Is at the Front first, but as soon
as he learned more
about trench fighting was given an
important assignment as the chief
general staff officer OF division hold
ing an important position on the
Somme front.
1t is not known in this country just
how gallant the captain is conducting
himself, but the chances are that he is
proving a good officer, since the
Kaiser will tolerate no other kind
as soon as he finds them out. AS the
captain was bold enough to attempt to
make a huge joke out of the Ameri-
can government, in which, however,
he failed, learning to his deep chagrin
that the joke was on himself, he is
doubtless facing the allied troops
bravely enough.
Captain Won Papen is-reported to be
anxious for his friends in the United
States" to know that he is actually
fighting at the front and is not doing
propaganda work in the comparative
safety either of Holland or South
America. IT'S well. The average per-
son, neutral or not, has infinitely more
