ANDREW AND

| why does ones hair turn gray?
asked Imogene seriously.
Il think" said Andrew, that the
deepest students of the subject have
decided that it comes from eating too
much salad dressing on ones GU
cumbers."
Imogene looked at him in amaze
ment for a moment, then the look re-
Taxed and one o. anger took its place.
II wonder she said, Just what sort
of a joke YOU will make when you
find that l am dead"
The joke won't be on me-" said
Andrew. 1T will be on you"
well, things like that are not
things about which one should Joke"
said Imogene seriously. Il wish you
would not be eternally making a
huge joke OF life. think 1t shows a
weak mind not to take life any more
seriously than you do
Don't honey" pleaded Andrew.
You are cruel. You would not make
fun or sport of man with q club
foot, would you? You are not one of
the sort that would laugh at a poor
| hunchbaek, or blame a person for
having a hair lip?
IF these things be true, why is II

cannot help my mental deformity, any
more than these other unfortunates
can help their physical ones.
II have lain awake for hour after
hour at night thinking about this.
The Creator was really awfully good
to me, honey. He made me six feet
two inches tall, gave me good health
and a physique like a stevedore, and
gave me fairly acceptable mind, yet
1t always seemed to me that just as
the work was almost finished the
demon of darkness must have reached
in and bent one of the wheels in my
mind.
ut is this bent, lop-sided wheel
that gets me into trouble all the time.
My mind works along steady for a
few minutes. and / can reason along
perfectly normal lines, and then all
of sudden the mechanism brings
the bent wheel into play, and my
mind flies off at a tangent, and aft
err having reasoned a matter up to its
perfectly logical conclusion I say ex-
actly the opposite thing.
1T was like Billy Sands and / rea-
soned out what we would do one eve
ming when you were out of town, and
after reviewing all the things that
might happen downtown. and having
shown each other plainly that it was
wiser to stay at home, we promptly
went down town.
Now this Is serious thing with
me, honey. This is not an idle Jest,
for / have sacrificed many good con-
tracts because I saw something funny
nobody else saw and laughed at the
wrong time.
Il have gained the reputation of
being frivolous and light minded. and
that is most unfortunate for any
business man. do not think 1t is
nice OF you to twit me with my mis-
fortunes, to chaff me about my weak
ness and to blame me for a thing
that am utterly unable to prevent.

Because" said Andrew very seri-
ously Il do not do what I said
Honey, l don't understand what IL
is you do not do" she said.
Why, I do not put too much salad
dressing on my cucumbers." replied
Andrew gravely. He ducked cleverly
as she slapped at him.

MORE TRUTH
THAN POETRY
BY JAMES j. MONTAGUE

IT'S THE CLOTHES THAT MAKE
THE LOVER
Policemen are forbidden to flirt
while in uniform.
When the copper isn't beating up
marauders,
When he isn't using language to
chauffeurs,
And he turns from dreary duty to In
dulge his sense OF beauty
An engaging metamorphosis oc-
ours.
For a copper, after all, is somewhat
human;
He grows weary of the baser sort
of men
And by way of relaxation he enjoys
a mild filtration
with the maidens of the precinct
now and then.
But beware of himl Beware OF him!
young woman!
He must court you in his hours of
repose;
He's forbidden to meander with a
charmer and phiiander
When he's tricked out in his blue
official clothes.
II he asks you to go with him to the
opera.
Or to have little dinner at the
Ritz.
II he says that he adores you and
to wed him he implores you,
Just be careful that he's dressed up
in his "cits."
A proposal in the harness of his duty
Isn't legal, and in case his ardor
cools.
He can say. in accents chilly, "Awl
I didn't mean 1t, Tile.
Proposals is forbidden by the
rulesi
So, whenever you are winked at by
copper
AS you may be, il you get within
his range,
Look at him wide eyed and boldly,
and observe severe and coldly,
II you want to flirt with me, go
home and change!"
FIRM FRIENDS
Wen never quarrel with the Ca
madam people. We like the spirit
they show.
TO PRESERVE THE BALANCE
II Taft should resign the President
would have to appoint a couple OF
justices to his seat.

Rev. Edmonds Bennett, pastor of St. Johns Episcopal church, Ensley appeared in behalf of the suburban sections of the city
 Dramatic Interruptions
 Discussion of the ordinance was dramatically interrupted when pr. John Edmundson, Birmingham phy- sician. brought into the council cham- Ter boy walking on crutches who had been injured by jitney and had no recourse against the operator for tue injury he had suffered. The boys name Is Edward Feenker, S413 Third ava nue, north, East Lake. He stated that his leg was fractured last Satur- day when he was struck By jit- hey at Second avenue and Twentieth street, north.
 G. A. Gomperts, jitney driver, leaped to his feet at this juncture and called the attention of the commission to the claim that there now are unpaid Judgments on the books of the street railway company amounting to $23s, GOO, greater part of which, he said, never will be collected.
 M. A. Densmore, attorney, told
 the commission that the argument
 tended not toward regulation, but
 elimination of the jitney. He stated
 that the street car company Is
 killing and injurine more persons
 in Birmingham than the jitneys
 are and are no more responsible
 for their acts.
 Frank E. Spain in behalf of the Junior Chamber of Commerce, urged reasonable regulation. He stated that the sentiment of the community is for real regulation. J. J. Whelan, a street car conductor, urged passage of Mir Burruss ordinance and declared that the city cannot afford to maintain q dual system of transportation.
 Among others who spoke were A. 0. Chancey. for regulation J. L. Busby, against; A. R. Redburn, for the taxi cab interests; and Louis Bowen for enforcement of laws pertaining to car riers at the present time.
