REV. MILLER'S BIRTHDAY
 CELEBRATED WITH REUNION

On last Sunday, November 16. very unusual reunion was that of the Mil Ter family, the occasion being the birthday. of Rev. James T. Miller, at his home on Southside.
 Rev. Miller is a well-known Method ist minister, having begun his ministry at the age of 19 years.
 Those present on the occasion were the brothers and sisters of Rev. Miller and Mrs. Miller, Mir. and Mrs. Henry MiHer. Mrs. Sue Miller and Miss Mat tie Miller of Birmingham, Dr. John Miller of Cordova, Mrs. George Young Adamsville, Mir. and Mrs. Jesse Crum- ley of Mulga, and Mir. and Mrs. J. $. Jenkins of Mount Hope, Ala.
 Mrs. Georgia Young, eldest sister of this interesting group, now in her eightieth year, remembers so well at the age of 16 when the father and mother with their eight children came to Jefferson county.
 On November 15, 1860 (64 years ago) six families arrived in covered wagons from Floyd county, Georgia. There were in all fortytwo people, and thirty were children. These six fami- lies were Mir. and Mrs. John Y. Mil Ter, Mir. and Mrs. Jesse Miller, MT. and Mrs. Jonothan Miller, Mir. and Mrs. Jonas Wheeler, MT. and Mrs. Lawson Young and MT. and Mrs. James Glas- gow. Many of the descendants of these are among our most honored and use full citizens today of Birmingham and Jefferson county.
 When the pioneers arrived they built for themselves homes and soon joined the Methodist church at Crum- ley's Chapel, which was then little log house. Many of the descendants of these are now members of this church.
 The birthday was an enjoyable oc- casion. The dinner table was beauti- ful with the lovely snow white birthday cake with the, three candles represent ing the past, present and future. The turkey and all that goes with it, that Mrs. Miller had so we'll prepared, was delicious.
 The birthday wish of Rev. Miller on this occasion was:
 Many happy returns of the day of
 thy birth,
 Many seasons of joy be given And may the dear Father prepare thee
 on earth
 For a beautiful birthday in Heaven" '"

Sentimental Surprise

ID DANDALL had been up in the at tic swinging his golf clubs. He
 told his wife that there was en- tirely too much old truck stored there.
 If you wish more room to spread yourself, Jack, we can condense the things more into one side of the attic, suggested Mrs. Randall. Well, I'll tell you what I think, Lora, I think you ought to get rid of most of the stuff up there. Whats the use of keeping old furniture and bric-a-brac? You know yourself that if nine-tenths of it should disappear without your know ledge you would never miss it"
 Perhaps that's so, and yet it's ra- ther hard to give up things that have so many associations. Sometimes in house cleaning times when l am up there, 1 can't keep the tears back when I see some of the old things we had when we first went to housekeep- ing. You know how wonderful we thought that morris chair was, Jack, ,' Mrs. Randalrs eyes were glistening sus- piciously.
 Well, my dear, Lora, I don't wish to deprive you of any semi-annual weeps. Keep the old chair. But there's

no real reason to hang on to most of that old truck. Have @ secondhand man come and buy it.
 The next time Randall climbed the attic stairs to practice with his golf clubs he found that she had acted promptly upon his suggestion. The place was nearly empty, and after little rather violent exercise he threw himself into the old morris chair and comfortably gazed about, thinking how the space might be utilized for a small gymnasium.
 It was about a month after this time that Randall said to his wife one Sat urday morning that he hoped she would be home in the afternoon. He said he had bought little present for her that would be delivered then.
 Certainly I'll be home, Jack" she replied. What is it?"
 "Oh, you just wait until you see it. I ordered it delivered this afternoon so that I could hear what you say, Lora,"

KNOWLEDGE AND ENJOYMENT

What we love to do, that we do well. To know is not all; it is only half. To love is the other half Wordsworths s poet was contented if he might enjoy the things which others understand. This is generally the attitude of the young and of the poetic nature. The man of science on the other hand, is contented if he may understand the things that others enjoy; that is his enjoyment. Contemplation and absorp- tion for the one; investigation and classification for the other. We prob ably all have, in varying degrees, one or other of these ways of enjoying Nature; either the sympathetic and emotional enjoyment of her which the young and the artistic and the poetic temperament have, or the enjoyment through our knowing faculties afforded by natural science, or, it may be, the two combined, as they certainly were in such a man as Tyndall.-Burroughs.

 Has it arrived?" he asked the mo- ment he came home.
 "Yes, Selma took it at the side door. But I've played fair. I haven't peeped at it."
 Bully for you!" said Randall hap oily as he led the way to the side hall where a large, loosely wrapped pack age stood. He quickly cut the string and the paper fell off, revealing an old fashioned ''what-not.'
 "There," he asked proudly, "what does that make you think of? Doesn't it remind you of a little old Ohio parlOr where we used to sit on a hair sofa When I saw it in the window of a curio shop it brought back a flood of memories of-of courtin' days, Lora.
 How much did you pay for it, Jack"
 Never mind that. The dealer said it was a genuine walnut antique. You cant buy those handsome old pieces for nothing, my dear."
 Second hand men can," remarked Mrs. Randall smiling quizzically.
 What do you mean?"
 N"The one who bought this out of our attic said it wasn't worth anything. You see, you and your brother Tom had marred it, carving your initials here on the top shelf"
 Randall adjusted his glasses and looked closely at the top shelf of the whatnot. Then he laughed, rather artifically. Have it put in the at tic, my dear" he said, land don't bother to say anything about sentimentality. I know the jokes on me all right"

Heaven blessed me with good disposition. I am amiable, cheerful interested in everything un- der the sun and I could love with a deathless devotion.
 II do not see why a man should not love such a woman as I am for herself alone, independent of whether she was pauper or a millionairess, but when suitor approaches me begin at once to suspect his motives.
 From my earliest infancy it was impressed on my mind that if I did not watch out some man would marry me for my money, and the fear has become an obses- sion that I can't shake off. Yet I know that there are thousands of men whose honor is not for sale and who would not marry a wom- an they did not love if every hair on her head was strung with Keh- moor diamonds. And I also know that just because woman's father left her fortune doesn't make her Gorgon and prevent her from -INI

This man seems very fine to me. He is very sym pathetic and understanding-very bril- liant, and witty, and entertaining. We have the same taste in books and music and amusements. We are entirely congenial and companionable and can think of nothing more delightful than life spent in his society.
 But he is poor and am rich, and so the eternal doubt comes and I wonder; Is he sincere? Does he love me for myself alone, or for my government securities? If I
 marry him will be his soul mate, or just his banker?
 And 1 cannot answer these questions. I do not know what to do for in a way I feel that this is my last chance at the cup that may hold so much happiness or so much misery for me and that if do not marry this man I shall never marry at all. And do not know which is the more appalling prospect, to be mans meal ticket or a lonely old spinster."

 comparatively few American men
 who are willing to sell themselves
 into lifetime of slavery to
 woman whom they do not love.
 "Wealthy girls are seldom belles. in spite of all the entertaining their par ents do for them and the obligations they put men under. At any ball you can see homely, stupid, awkward mil lionairesses papering the walls, while pretty, vivacious, graceful maidens with homemade frocks on dance holes in their slippers.
 ''So I think you are hardly fair to men when you attribute sorid motives to all whom you seem to attract. There are not so many men engaged in the gold-digging occupation as there are women for every man believes, at least, that he can make his own fortune. But suppose a man does cast a
 wary eye on your money. What then?
 What better thing can you buy yourself than companionship? What is life worth without some one to love, some one to do things k for, to give things to; without some one of whose society we never weary?
 You can build palace, but you cannot make it home with just your self in it. What appetite does one have for mdals eaten alone? Think of the deariness of endless evenings, with no one to speaS to! You can travel to the ends of the eaSssh, but how boring the lonely journey with none with whom you can exchange an impression or gloat over a strange scene!
 "Companionship is the salt that
 gives the flavor to every pleasure.
 Without it everything is flat, stale
 and tasteless. And so I know of
 no better investment that rich
 woman can make than in getting
 herself an agreeable and entertain
 ing life companion. He is worth
 the price, whatever he cost, and
 she does well to remember that
 playmates are luxuries that come
 high.
 consider this: Every woman is mar ried for something. Sometimes man marries a woman for her beauty. Sometimes because she is a good cook. Sometimes because she is strong and healthy. Sometimes because of her dancing or her golf.
 "All of these qualities for which a man marries woman are more or less temporary attractions. Beauty fades. The athletic woman has no time for sports or dancing when the babies come. The woman who caught her husband by her cooking gets tired of the kitchen or gives him dyspepsia. But the woman who has money
 has a charm that never fades, and
