KNEW THAT WOULD STOP HIM
quainted With the Weakness of
His Long-Winded Friend.

c. H. Murphy relates the story Of a
Philadelphia lawyer, retired, who, in
the days of his active practice, was
notorious for his ong-windedness.
On one occasion he had been spout
ing forth his concluding argument for
six hours, and the end was nowhere
in sight, when the opposing attorney
beckoned his associate and whispered:
Cant you stop him. Jack?"
"I'll stop him in two miautes," Jack
replied confidently. And he wrote
and passed to the orator the following
note:
my Dear ColOnel-As soon as you
finish your magnificent argument
would like you to join me at the no.
tel in bumper of rare old Bourbon"
The lawyer halted in the midst of
an impassioned period, put ON his
glasses, and read the note that had
been handed him. then he removed his
glasses again and. taking up his hat
and bag, he said:
"And now, may it please the court
and gentlemen of the jury. leave the
case with you"
A minute later he was proceeding in
stately fashion in the direction Of the
hotel bar.

Alcock and Brown Fly
 Across the Atlantic

TIT was accepted as a foregone con- H clusion that nonstop flight across the Atlantic would soon be an accomplished fact and there was little surprise expressed yesterday when press bulletins announced that Capt John Alcock and Lieut.. Arthur w. Brown had flown from Newfoundland to Ireland in Vickers-Vimy bombing plane in sixteen hours and twelve minutes.
 Yet the complacency with which the news was received does not detract from the historic feat, nor will it les sen the honor accruing to the two aviators who have beaten their com petitors in great adventure and are assured immortality as the first air men to span the ocean from the new worll to the old in a straight-away flight.
 The trip seems to have been made with astonishing ease and freedom form serious obstacles, although the wireless equipment soon got out of order and there was heavy fog to con. tend with. Skill and daring on the part of Alcock and Brown, machine which was equal to the demands made on it and sheer good luck were. ele ments which helped to make the flight success.
 There are no doubt some heavy hearted aviators in Newfoundland who hoped to win the coveted honor not to mention others in England anc America who cherished a similar am bition. Hawker and Grieve made g ! glorious failure. But for their mis. adventure they would have easily reached the goal.

Crop Prospects Good

Was Renter. Now Owner


 T was down in Butler county a few days ago. said c. H. Nesbitt, chief state mine inspector. and while in Greenville l met farmer who had just bought a Sso-acre farm He had every air of pros perity and seemed to have money, When he left asked friend about him. The farmer, according to my friend. had rented a farm for three years and finally, last spring, decided that he should own it. He succeeded in buying it, paying the purchase price-s475O--in cash, the profits of three crops, and my friend told me. he had money left after the transac- tion. I think that speaks well for the Alabama farmer. Since they have begun to diversity their crops and raise hogs and cattle they are making more than 6 bare living"

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
 AND ELSEWHERE
Meets pr. Kelmnn on Train


 "A few nights ago well known citi- zen of Birmingham was travelling from Cincinnati to New York. and fell into conversation with very charming man whom he later found to be none other than Rev. John Kelman, NJ. A, D. D., the minister of the United States Free St. Georges Church of Edinburgh, Scot land, said Charles A. Calhoun. "Dr. Kelman, who is one of the most distinguished men of the Presbyterian church, and easily the strong man of Edinburgh, noted. particularly, for his power and influence over the young men students of the great Scotch university of Edinburgh, proved a most delightful and entertaining travelling companion. In the course of the conversation the Sir ningham r.&n mentioned the good fortune of our South Highlands Presbyterian church in having as it's pastor Rev. John McNeill. Upon the mention of pr. M,- Neilrs name, Dr. Kelmans face lighted up, and lie exclaimed with emphasis Why, Dr. McNeill is one of our great men. Your people are indeed fortunate to have him, and I hope they will be able to keep him. He is such human man that I believe they will all love him as soon as they know him.

A SODA WATER YARN

From the Clanton Banner
 We have heard all sorts of soda four tain yarns come down the line ever sin~e C the time when Jim Parrish, then one gallus overall youth. came into Up church's and told Calvin Wilson to give him general mixtry." But Emmett Riankenship, the soda jerker of recent pluto prominence, tells about the best one we have heard in recent days It goes like this:
 An old man with those goat whiskers and iron-rimmed specks entered the drug store while back. approached the soda fount, and stepping over the counter, in- quired. What have you got cold to drink here?''
 Emmett very politely (though We i'm Iagine with smile in the corner of his eye) informed the old fellow that he could give him anything from pluto on down the line to just plain red soda water--ex- cept corn Ticker.

''BLINKS"

Samuel Hopkins Adams in Golfers
 Weekly.
 IN the environs of Baltimore there is
 place called Evergreen, conducted S by the government and the Red Cross for blinded service men. It is beau-
 t:ful country house, in the half timbered English style, the gift of Mrs. T. H. Garret. There soldiers, sailors and ma rines are learning to face the future with smile. At Evergreen careful survey
 of the portunities-business, trade or professional-ope to trained blind men
 is available to the men; and these op- portunities are more numerous and varied than the uninstructed would imagine. The
 boys call themselves "blnks," with a fine esprit de corps; yon are not blink
 until you have been declared officially blind-that is, blind beyond hope of re- covery.
 Judging by a description of Evergreen and it's members-it seems easier to call them members than inmates-the visitor, whether thick-skinned or impressionable, is sure to leave prouder than he ever thought it pOSSlDle 10 De or lHe IdCe VI man. And yet, you experience a sense

THE ORIGINAL "APE-MAN'

hippopotamus, and also rhinoceroses and elephants of southern type.
 He was a chinless being, whose jaw was still so primitive that it must have made his speech imperfect; and he was so much lower than any existing savage as to be at least specifically distinct that is, he can be called "human'' only if the word is used with a certain large. ness.
 Again we make a long skip-this time of somewhat over a hundred thousand years-and come to the Piltdown man. or near-mah-a being seemingly little far ther advanced than the man of HeideI- berg, and In some ways less so, for he possesses ape-like canine teeth
 "The next race was that of the Nean- derthal men, much more modern and more advanced, but lower than any ex- sting savage. and specifically distinct from modern man This race dwelt in Europe, without other human rivals. for an immense period of time; probably at least fifty thousand years; certainly an age several times as long as the period hiSiauCu III liiS lAlGTNdl between the earliest polished stone men and our selves-in other words, several times as lons as the ages Of polished stone, bronze. and iron and the total of historic times all put together.
 Some of their favorite caverns were lived in by them and by their successors for fifty thousand years
 At last the life term of these primi- tive hunter folk drew to a close. They were not our ancestors. With our pres- ent knowledge, it seems probably that they were exterminated as completely from Europe as in our own day the Tasmanians were eXterminated from Tasmania.
 The most profound change in the whole racial (not culturaD history of western Europe was the sudden and to- tai supplanting of these savages, lower than any existing human type, by the tall, finely built Cro-Magnon race of hunters, who in intelligence evidently ranked high as compared with all but the very foremost modern peoples, and who belongel to the same species of man that we do-Homo sapiens.''

 est progress in an educational way in
 the state,' said Senator Watt T. Brown,
 representing St. Clair and Etowah coun
 ties in the present legislature. The main
 trouble at the present lies in the fact that the state has not sufficient funds to carry out extensive a programme as is desired, however this will not hinder the work of bettering the school system of Alabama. In the course of few years under the existing plans this state should be looked to as one of the model school systems of the country It is my rintention to boost the schools in every way possible.

 Colonel Roosevelt's famous jungle hunt was in the vicinity of Professor Gamers travels, as they are described in news paper dispatches, and the Roosevelt big game is mounted in the Smithsonian in stitution with which Professor Garner is associated.
 Regarding this ape man" of Java, one of many missing links" in human evo- lution, Colonel Roosevelt wrote to the National Geographic society:
 This being was already half way up ward from the beast. half way between true man and those Miocene ancestors of lis, who were still on the psychic and irNeilectual level of their diverging kins- folk, the anthropoid apes. He, or some creature like him, was in our own line of ascent during these uncounted ages when our ancestors were already differ ent from all other brutes and yet had not grown to be really man. He prob- ably used a stone or club at need; and about this time he may have begun very rudely to chip or otherwise fashion stones to his use.
 His progress was very, very slow: the marked feature in the progress of man has been it's great acceleration of rapid

By Sam uel Minturn Peck My memory hath secret pack
 Wherein I store the loveliest things; And in my heart, not on my back,
 My dear and guarded treasure swings, With every passing year it grows,
 And ss it grows life fairer gleams; And lesser weight my daily woes.
 And brighter, rarer shine my dreams My memory hath secret pack;
 It steads me, cheers me all the while. Within it enters nothing black.
 But each kind work, each loving smile It matters not if darkness fall,
 never let my heart be dumb, For love knows not until it call
 What faithful echoes back will como. My memory hath . secret pack;
 When I am sad I open it And soon of solace I've no lack,
 And all my soul with joy is lit; And over land. and over sea, | My thought flies swifter than dove, For are not those who smiled on me
