 It was Hazltt who tells us in one of his delightful essays about the whimsical notion of Charles Lamb that he had rather see Sir Thomas Browne than Shakespeare.
 A pleasant recreation il is that many of us indulge in picking out persons we would wish 10 see or would wish to have seen'f-and pes- sonally-if il were put up to me--l believe of all the people of whom I've ever read-or ever known any thing about. l would like to have seen and visited Charles Diekens-tne immor- tal creator of sidney Carton, NIr. Peg gottY. MT Micawbcr, MT. PiekWick and Ltttle Dorrit.
 More Than Anyone Else
 Certainly l should never have been tempted by any of the Shakespearian lovely dramas or the Balzacian de- mons in petticoats-pessibly Becky Sharpe-oh yes-certainly Becky with her wonderful power of twist ing the masculine sex around her expressive digits;" perhaps Madame Bovary-and of latter day heroines- maybe the "cerebrar but not intel leetual Hedda Gabler, but certainly of the others. "Sairy" Camp and her mythical friend, Mrs, Harris--Fanny Squeers, Little Miss Voucher, Betsy Prig and the Widow Bardeli'-oh yes-these would be my choice.
 Next best to having had the priv ilege of visiting the home of ones favorite author and lis wonderful characters is talking with and know ing someone who has had this great privilege and by the merest coinct- dence-I discovered a few days ago that right here in Birmingham re sides a nice lady Mrs. Mary A. Luff- man. who once lived in the home ot Charles Dickens and mas fund of recollections and memories of that wonderful period in her life.

" EstelIe Bethea Marlowe

At the Bijou for the latter half of the week there are the usual five Of Loew's big time vaudeville acts. While they are the usual number, they are of unusual interest and of an unusually high caliber. Aliens Cheyenne Minstrels, who head the bill, know something about close harmony singing, and get their act over with a breezy western style that is more than refreshing. They have some clever songs. and the mimicry that Steve" exhibits in their Whoa Mule Whoa" song is exceptionally clever.
 Siegrist and Darrell, who open the bill, are acrobats extraordinary. It is very seldom that an act of this type comes to town that has a real brand new stunt. They have several, one of which, double stand from the single pedestal of Siegrist's hands, is

CHARLES RAY AT TRItNoN IN
 1.-TWO MINUTES TO GO"

Charles Ray as a football star is one thrill the picture public has not experienced. IL is one thrill that is proving distinctly thrill at the TriaHon theatre where Ray is appear ing in his first football picture to date. Two Minutes To Go
 Though Two Minutes To Go" Is full of the excitement and enthusi- asm ef sport, there is a decided dramatic appeal and much real pa thos in the experiences of the manly young gridron star who through his pride allows himself to be misundcr- stood and persecuted over the college where ke has been lionizcd as d leader on every field.
 Charles Ray is remarkably well suited to roles that combine quiet humor and pathos with quick action a combination which very adequately describes Ray himself. As the grid iron star in the picture he has made a great hit among local fans, many of whom declare it is his best yet.

FIVE EXCEPTIONAL KEITH
 ACTS SCORE AT LYRIC

In "The Cotton Pickers," at the Lyric for the last half of the week. the blackface act at it's best. is pre- sented to Birmingham theatregoers. Rich in color and harmony, the act stands head and shoulders above the usual presentation of this kind. The Copper City Four, whose close har- mony work forms the basis for the act. are individually and collectively. true students of the vocal art and. being true students. they demonstrate a mastery of their work in ensemble Johnnie Bell. in his mimic dancing. is exceptionally good. Ada Webber carries her end of the act as "Lindy" in very creditable fashion.
 Van Horn and Inez. in sixty Turns a Minute" do some high speed roller skating stunts that have real class stamped all over them. It is seldom that a racer attains the speed at which these two novel skaters execute all of the intricacies of their art
 Bobby luke" Henshaw is as good as ever. He has the faculty of get ting things over with an interpreta- tion of the mood and the entertain- ment needs .of his audience that makes his New Idea of An Encore" obtain several of them. He is as sisted by Vera Van Alta. who proves herself to be a musician of no mean abilit-.
 To Frank Walmsley. who. with his partner, Mac Heating, presents ''rhe Commodities of Life. the audiences of the house owe a vote of thanks. Using a vehicle that is nothing if not comical the consummate acting of the man makes it tenfold more comi- cal. The only man who managed to keep from laughing at the Thursday night performance was paralyzed.
 Herbert Lloyd of international repute closes>a bill that is better than usual with his burlesque classic. Much Ado About Not Much a clever interpretation of popular themes and people. closing with a live" recast of the whole bill. There are the usual screen attractions. Pathe News, and Topics of the Day.

BETTER PRICE FOR REACT0Rs
Few Buyers Now Taking Advantage Of
Farmer Who Is Trying to I'M
prove His Herd.

A check on the reacting cattle sold
on the Buffalo market shows that the
packers and stockyards administration
and the bureau of animal industry Of
the United States Department of
Agriculture have been securing better
treatment for persons who have cattle
of this class to sell. Records from
June 1 to September % show that on
a total of 542 head of tuberculous cat
tie the gross price paid per head was
S22.17, less expense of 1884, making
net price Of 1888 per head. In the
past, records had been kept on 4,5OO
head and the average price paid was
only $14.50. Few buyers are now TAX
ing advantage of the farmer who is
trying to clean up his herd. Many of
them find that they can afford to pay
as much for reaetors that are not
condemned as unfit for food as they
can pay for untested cattle of the
same kind and quality.

SOUASHES IN WARM STORAGE
Vegetables Must Be Handled With
Care to Prevent Bruising-Prod-
uct Must Be Kept Dry.

Squashes, pumpkins and sweet po-
tatoes may be kept in good condition
all winter if carefully placed in warm,
dry storage. say horticulturists Of the
Ohio experiment station.
The proper conditions for their
storage differ as to moisture and
temperature from those found best
for ordinary vegetables and fruits,
such as potatoes, roots and apples,
which require cool, moist storage.
The furnace room or a warm, dry
closet where there is no danger Of
freezing in extremely cold weather is
usually very satisfactory.
These vegetables should be handled
with great care to avoid bruises or,
in the case of squashes and pumpkins,
breaking off the stems which would
later furnish entrance for organisms
of decay. The best temperature Is
from 80 to 50 degrees Fahrenheit.
