The immortal O. Henry talked about snitching pennies from blind man.
 But Birmingham has found an in- dividual meaner than that.
 He went out to the East Lake or phanage few nights ago and stole the institutions 260 hens and 200 chickens four weeks old
 Then he set fire to the chicken house probably in order to conceal his tracks, the structure being destroyed
 Thus, Mrs. w. I. Grubb phoned yes terday that the orphanage. which babies, Is. totally withoutseggs and chickens for the table; and she is begging:
 "Will the people of Birmingham help us to supply this lack? I'm will ing to turin my automobile into q regular chicken van If there are those who will give a fowl We need these right away. If you haven't any chickens. will you donate the price of a hen?'
 Mrs. Grubb's telephone number Is in the book--page. 45--so confide to your best hen that you're sorry to part company with her, but she's got to be a missionary-and tell Mrs. Grubb you'll have the creatures legs folded and tied by the time she rounds your adjacent corner. SOUTHERN CLUB BALL

 The firm of Loveman & Joseph, determined that the event shall be put on in great style, has dedicated a whole handsome show window down-t town and under the auspices of the Association of the Blind, several sightless persons will sit there dur ing these days--and make with tneir hands the quaintest holiday things.
 They will go from headquarters' winch occupies an eight-room house on the property or the new Central High school down town, and will fashion baskets. put bottoms in chairs and do many other things which they daily are forced to executive to earn their way in a life of darkness.

 Hundreds of pretty articles the local blind have made will be on dls- r,lay. and those seeking Christmas presents will be right in the midst or Santa Claus town. For the junior
