suift nirtden snbscription


 Tn all probability, many people in noting the subscriptions of many big businesses do not realize that such local subscription is only small part of the whole" said John Sparrow yesterday
 These big companies, desirous of fa- voring each of the cities in which they do business, divide their total.
 For instance. The Age-Herald print ed this morning that Swift & Co. had subscribed $5oO0. When it is realized that in each of the cities wherein the company does business, subscription was made in proportion to that city's rank from a population basis, it be- comes plain that the total subscription was large.
 Swift & Co.'S subscription will run into the millions, I presume, and as practically all other concerns have acted likewise, they deserve share of the patriotism which is accorded to the people of the nation generally"

Now all this came to me because on a recent visit out in the country, after :. good dinner, and while seated on the front porch, my dear old hostess asked me if I would like to see bottle of dewberry wine that was 25 years old. pid I would and she stepped inside and brought it out, and held it up between me and the sun and it was a clear and beautiful red. I was surprised to know that she had picked the berries within the city limits of Birmingham.
 Now. here is the pith of this tale. She nut it aside to be brought forth at the wedding of her daughter who was then but a babe. I am telling this to put the swnins on notice that there is in Ala hama a maiden who has dowery in the shane of a rare bottle of wine. I would disclose her name but for the fear that che might be annoyed with proposals from our thirsty Birmingham beaux. some of whom would even commit matri- ,nonv for a quart of sparkling wine

- SOLDIERS SAILORS
TROPICAL HEROES.

Sergeant j. D., Winter, son Of Mr..
and Mrs. Clayton Winter. Of Dewey
avenue, who is in the marine service
and stationed at Corinto, Nicaragua,
where he is the sergeant in charge of
the coast artillery, has submitted a
poem written by one Of the Toys in
the tropics. It follows:
They praise the soldiers, in the
trenches, =. -
And Flanders muddy graves,
The sailor of the North sea,
And the channels icy wave. =,
How they charged across mo. Mans
Under cracking machine gunfire,
How the sailors sank the U-Boats, :
And trapped the mine in wire.
But we've soldiers in the tropics,
AS silent as the stones,
Who are guarding our possessions,
Without murmur or a groan.
We've sailors who are securing
Every tropic sea and wave,
Battling lonesomness and typhoid,
Our islands must be saved.
But they're forgotten in the dis
patches, e
And the colored weekly news
Never speaks of tropic heroes,
So they always have the blues.
When you shudder as you think
OF your boys across the, sea,
Dying in the trenches and the wave
To make men free
Just remember in the tropics,
There are fellows just as brave,
Fighting all the hell Of the tropics,
Their country's cause to save.
