*V
f UP AND DOWN BROADWAY
By ALLEN GRIFFIN JOHNSON
iurK, «iuiy —topeciai i—^uhoiu^
Ing the magnitude of New York's popula
tion and her gTeat throngs of daily visitors,
it la really remarkable how well the mul
titude not only is controlled, but control?
Itself. You may think, for instance, that
the mere act of walking along the street?
is very easy of accomplishment; yet ir
more than one southern city there are
many poeple who display absolutely nc
thought for others while upon the thor
oughfares; whereas, if the same thought
lessness were In evidence upon Manhat
tan's great arteries there would soon be
congestion and various unpleasant evi
dences of it.
The smaller the city, the more the in
dividual inhabitant seems to think he
amounts to, and the more room he takes
up. One thing, it never requires New
York long to convince people about—that
is, the invidual is a very small sort of a
fl«h in this big sea of humanity, but he is
expected to take care of himself and to
go swimming about his business at least
fast enough to keep out of the way of
others.
Of course, we have traffic policemen,
and a few little things like that to help
us look after ourselves, but we very soon
get the habit of doing it even better than
another could do it for us. Here, when
people wfalk the streets, they keep to the
right—otherwise they will make practi
cally no progress—they also keep moving
for that is the courtesy of New York—
keep out of the other fellow's way. ami
don't stop to try to be nice to him or her:
it would simply result in inconvenience tc
yourself and others.
On the cars, w’hether "L." subway or
surface, there seems to be a proper regard
for the party who Is just in your rear,
who always appears to be in a hurry.
Therefore, you must hurry, too. and after
a little of this hurrying you soon acquire
the habit and then it is Impossible to get
rid of it. You rush always and everywhere.
You hardly know why you are doing it,
but it is the New York influence in full
working order.
Then, there is one other thing that plays
an Important part in producing such well
conducted throngs In this city—that is the
great number of signs. One hardly need
ask a single question here if he but use
his eyes and his head a little.
No matter where you want to go. what
you wish to procure or what you want to
do. there is a sign to help you out, If
you will only look for it. These signs
almost think for you. Every need seems
to have been thought of and written out
In the form of a sign. Directions are
everywhere, and frequently these are
written in as many as three different lan
guages.
So. whether it be a disposition on the
part of the public to do its best In re
turn for so thoughtful a municipality or
whether something changes one as soon
os he lands uopn Manhattan’s shores,
certain it is that this city’s throngs seem
to know how to take care of themselves
and keep out of the other fellow's way
better than do the people of any smaller
city I have ever known.
New York is now’ so immense that few?
of its own Inhabitants know it thorough
ly. In fact, their meager knowledge of
its different sections would surprise a
new comer; but they feel that they can
always And their way anywhere within
its confines without so much as even ask
ing a question.
Our foreign friends- and they are many
—who make their living as strolling musi
cians, believe thoroughly that New York
likes the Sextette from “Lucia” better
than any selection to be found in this or
any other country. There ift not a hurdy
gurdy, hand organ, or German band on
the streets which does not give us the
Sextette many times every day; though
now and then the musicians from the
Fataherland vary it with “Die Wacht am
Rhine.’’ in spite of our long suffering neu
trality.
as much as the other, according to report
and they will therefore continue to deligh
the movie “fans. '
They tell us that people are susplcioui
of each other here. But if you will pasi
any uptown news stand about the tim«
most people are going down town to busi
ness, you will find It well sprinkled with
| pennies that purchasers have throwr
| down as they picked up the paper fhe>
wanted. No one seems even to be watch
ing the pennies or the purchasers; yet 1
have never heard of a newsdealer making
a complaint about Ibsing money In thi*
way.
THE CIRCLE.
Youth dreams of the prize at the end ol
the tight.
And longs for the din of the battle.
The flash and the roar of the Cannon of
Right.
And the Wrong’s deadly musketry rat
tle.
We enter the struggle—the battle of life—
Nor reck of its wounds or its blighting;
Ere long we hut hope for the close of the
strife.
And the peace at the end of the fighting
But. once In the fray. It's a fight to the
death,
When o'er us Right’s colors are flying.
Till Wrong is defeated and gasping for
breath.
Where red runs the gore of the dying.
Then a cheer rends the air—we have won
for the Right—
The reward of the victor Is ours;
From the field then away e'er the coming
of night.
We will rest In Life's garden of flowers,
And then, in the stillness of soft eventide,
Fond memories’ shadows come throng
ing,
But not for the things that we long age
sighed.
No more for the prize are we longing.
Far off in the distance the struggle goes
on,
We can hear the faint musketry rattle,
And though aged andworn with the years
that have gone.
We long once again for the battle.
Tt Isn't so much the White Lights, after
all, as It is your own viewpoint. When
there is money in your pocket and time
on your hands, they seem to glow with a
warmth that is full of invitation and real
hospitality. But. If you happen to be
broke and likewise busy, with neither time
nor money for indulgence, they take on a
hard and steely glitter—yet, they are Just
the same old lights, looking on all men
alike. Just as they looked before you and
L came and Just as they will look after
we shall have made our exit.
Joy of Being Musical

so much more If you’ll even read the ex
planatory annotationa"
“To my mind.” the girl suggested, great
ly daring, "the right kind of music
oughtn’t to need explanatory notes. It
the singer or the orchestra can’t interpret
it for you, there must be something wrong
somewhere.’’
The musician looked at the girl with
disapproval. She was a dear little thing,
and he was really mighty fond of her.
Hut It was a pity she didn’t know any
thing about music. Years of his own life
had been spent in browsing amongst or
chestral scores. He knew every move
ment of every symphony that was worth
while. He understood exactly the con
struction of the most intricate piece. And
thfe girl didn’t know the difference be
tween k viola and a violin.
"You can’t understand music properly
unless you know how It’s made,’’ said
the man, with a frown. "You don’t know
what the composer was driving at unless
you know the work he allotted to every
instrument.’’
‘1 don’t need to know the ingredients
of an ice pudding and the overture to
‘Leonora,’ ’’ cried the musician angrily.
"An ice pudding doesn’t tell a story. My
point is that you can’t see the pictures the
composer meant to see unless you under
stand the significance of the manner in
which every movement is treated."
The girl was about to reply. But the
conductor appeared, and she was silent.
She felt very ignorant. And she was
sorry. She would certainly have been a
more congenial pal if she had understood
the mechanics of music. But she wasn’t
going to let her ignorance spoil every
thing. She meant to enjoy the concert.
She would listen to the symphony—and
read the notes afterwards.
Very soon she forgot all about the man
at he rside. Her ears revelled In the rich
ness and beauty of the music. And her
eyes saw pictures, too. She found herself
Inventing story, just as she had Invented
stories long ago for the delight of a young
sister. The story was not a children’s
story; it was an epitome of her own life,
as she would have desired it to be. Then,
with a change in the music, she let the
composer tell the story—and finish it.
"Well," queried the man, when the
symphony was over, "did you like It?"
"Yes," said the girl.
But the man was not satisfied. The
next piece was the "Pathetic.’ The girl
had never heard it. He was tremendously
anxious that she should understand all
that Tchalkowsky meant in the incompar
able symphony. In a subdued whisper
he began to explain the construction of
the piece, analyzing and dissecting it as
It went along. He was pitifully anxious
that the girl should not miss the signifi
cance of a single passage.
Suddenly, she turned around and looked
at him reproachfully.
"Oh, do be quiet,” she burst out, "you’re
spoiling it all!"
• • •
"I’m glad I don’t know anything about
music," she confessed when the concert
was over. "So very glad. I was a hit
ashamed of my Ignorance before. I’m
glad of it now. You know so much about
the way music Is made that you haven't
time to enjoy it"
German Genera] Dead in Captivity
Dresden, Germany, July 10.—(Spe
cial.)—The first high German officer tc
rile In captivity, so far as has been re
corded is Lieut. Gen. Von Haugk
former equerry of the King of Saxony
whb has just been reported as dead ol
kidney trouble in Taschkent. Russia
General Von Haugk fell into the hands
of the Russians last October w'hile hr
was in charge of a set of gifts being
transported to the German soldiers
For a time he was given every possible
favor, but when the report spread ir
Russia that Baron KonfT, the governoi
of Warsaw, captured by the Germans
was being severely handled, the same
treatment was accorded General Vox
Haugk. He was born in Leipsic In 1850
the son of a high magistrate in Sax
ox^y, and married the daughter of the
Prussian General Von Tietsen. He wax
for a time aide-de-camp to the King oi
Saxony, and since 1899 his equerry.

FRIENDS.
Old friend, we've journeyed far and wide.
O'er rugged hills and hollow's;
With yearning hearts, at eventide,
We’ve wataehed the homing swallows;
We’ve known that bitter grief and dole
That cry unheard to heaven,
Like some poor, hell-bound, tortured soul,
Condemned and unforgiven.
Through Sin’s fair vale, near Sorrow's
mart,
We’ve wandered free and joyous.
Where, hidden by the Tempter’s art..
Death w’aited to destroy us;
We've drunk life’s bitter and its sweet,
Have seen our castles tumbled
In ruins at our weary feet.
Yet smiled, nor even grumbled.
Our blood has sanguined many a field.
Though courage ne'er departed,
Nor foeman forced us yet to yeld.
Nor either grown faint hearted;
We’ve known the peace of eventide.
When day’s hard fight had ended.
And sunset s crimson glory died.
As earth and sky were blended.
Then, too. the bliss of sweet repose.
When real cares and seeming.
Depart, and life’s stream gently flows
To slumber s land of Dreaming;
We’ve felt the fury of the blasts,
And knowrn the calm succeeding.
Far sw'eeter for the storm that’s past—
A lesson worth the heeding.
We’ve known the warmth of Summer’s
sun.
The blight of Winter's weather.
And when, at last, our race is run,
We’ll leave the track—together;
Aye, hand and hand, as In the past,
We ll Journey o’er the river;
Together e’en unto the last—
Friends now and friends forever.
Discovered a wonder the other day—a
man living in New York who declined a
tip. He is a barber, but T do not think
there are any more here like him. Now
and then people get into this city who
really belong out in the pure, clean placae
of the world. However, they don’t often
linger with us long. And this tonsoriallst
—surely, he is more than an ordinary bar
ber— tells me he has bought a shop in a
small western town.
In spite of warm weather, midsummer
and all the other reasons why the theatri

‘The Bubble.” It is one of the cleverest
vehicles Mr. Mann has had In many sea
sons and its success here is unquestion
able. It gives the actor scope for his
ability to portray pathos through the
medium of the German dialeot.
You can’t get the average New Yorker
to go Into white clothes, though some of
the newspapers have conducted a sort of
campaign in favor of them, and there are
some days in summer when the light stuff
worn in the south would be a great com
fort up here. But the average man who
lives here knows it is a southern style—
and he hateB nothing more than not look
ing like a New Yorker. That’s the way
most of us seem to feel about it—as soon
as we get here we make every possible
effort to acquire a "local” appearance.

Some one lias referred to this compauy
as “the great home incubator of Birming

it suggests what we have done and shall
continue to do in the way of making home
owning as easy as possible.
Our plan of lending money at 6 per cent straight interest to those who pur
chase property from us. with which to build homes, and the co-operation which
we offer home-builders in the matter of plans and practical advice based on
long experience has not. only resulted In the construction of a great many
homes which would not otherwise have been built, but it has also made our
relations with customers unusually satisfactory. We can safely say. "Ask the
owner" of the home which we have financed. We will lie content with the
answer.

May Change Bill Regulating
Salaries of Local County Officers
By HUGH W. ROBERTS
Montgomery, July 24.—(Special.)—It is
very probable that the senate will amend
the house bill regulating salaries of of
ficials of Jefferson county so that tht
judge cf probate in the future will receive
$6500 per annum, rather than $6000.
The bill, as it is at present, declares
that the sheriff shall be paid $6000, and
the probate judge $5000. There are many
wl.o think that the probate judge should
be more handsomely remunerated than the
sheriff Senator Judge this afternoon de
clared that he was inclined to this view,
and indicated that the bill, as a result
of his suggestion, will he amended in th*
senate.
It is learned that a majority of the dele- ^B
gallon feels as does Senator Judge, and ^Bj
that as a result his amendment will be ^B
concurred in when it is sent hack to ^B
the house. ^B
Inasmuch as present officials of Jeffer
sen will not be affected by the provision* ^B
of the bill, and because it would be con- ^B
sidered presumptions should prospective ^B
candidates unnecessarily agitate them- ^B
selves in this respect, no opposition to the ^B
passage of the measure has been devel- Bll
oped. H
PEOPLE WHO GET
ALL THE TROUBLES
By LUC1LE2 CAINE
Some people imagine that all the
worries of life are manufactured
solely for themselves—you or I have no
part or lot in them.
T remember Dean Hole telling the
story of two people he knew. One of
them had had a bad attack of Influenza,
and, hearing that an acquaintance was
recovering from a similar illness, he
called upon him to express his sym
pathy with him. He listened to a
long account of the patient’s illness.
"I know—I know," he murmured,
sympathetically. "Had the same thing
myself."
The Invalid went on to tell him how
he had felt as if a Scottish bagpiper
had been playing inside his brain while
walking up and down on it in very
heavy boots.
"T know—I know," murmured the
visitor, “I’ve had just the same thing."
"Then,” the invalid informed him.
“it seemed as if the ceiling were slowly
descending upon him to crush him to
death. That made him so hot he burst
out In a profuse perspiration, and -”
“I know. Just the same feeling T
hao.” murmured the visitor. "Just the
sarr e.”
The invalid stretched out his hand to
the bell and rang for the servant to
show his visitor out.
“Confound your feelings," he roared.
“What on earth do you come here for.
to inflict your feelings on me? If you’d
really felt as 1 felt you wouldn’t be
alive today. No sir, I don't believe it a
bit. You’re out for sympathy, and you
won’t get It from me."
Just so. It is the little worries and
bothers that excite most people to
chatter respecting them. They come
hard on the people who expect every
thing to happen as they wish.
I remember Bennett Burleigh, the
v. nr correspondent, telling of a friend
of his who was accustomed to tak<*
tiomps in foreign countries in real
tramp fashion. He had a longing for
seeking the adventures that come to a
fellow wandering about without a
penny In his pocket. Upon one occa
sion, however, he thought he vrould try
doing a country luxuriously, and.
putting 60 pounds in his pocket, he
started for Spain. He was robbed the
first week of every penny he pos
sessed, and fell back on the "simple
life” once more. He was thoroughly
enjoying himself again whe he chanced
to meet a millionaire “doing the coun
try.” The millionaire was full of ex
plosive grumbles at the way he had
been treated at inns, and the places
he had put up at. Hadn’t the other
man noticed how miserable the accom
modation was? The food was atrocious,
the waiting vile, the beds full of fleas.
The other had noticed nothing of the
kind. ‘Seems to me,” he said "you've
perhaps been over concerned about lux
uries. As a matter of fact, I haven't
slept In a bed for some weeks, so I’ve
escaped the fleas. It would be a hard
job for my meals to be spoiled in the
cooking. There’s not much cooking
about an onion and bread and cheese,
end no waiters wanted. Tt*s clear I’ve
e«cr,pad a lot. Perhaps It’s the fellow
who wants things too easy who is in
for the most disappointments?”
T remember Mrs. Maxwell—better
known to you, perhaps as Miss Brad
don, the celebrated novelist—relating
how a celebrated doctor was one even
ing at a dinner where some of the
dishes were not perhaps quite up to the
mark. It was a splendid affair of many
courses. The lady grumbled frightfully
about the cooking, and expressed as
much regret for it to the doctor as If
he were in peril of starvation.
"Don’t bother about me, madam,” he
growled at last. In tones that started
the whole table, causing people to
pause in the conveyance of delicious
morsels to their mouths and look at
him. “Don’t worry about me, madam.
T have been today to see a patient
with a wife and three children and
nothing In the house to eat. When I
hear you grumbling at your food, I
wonder what you would do if you
hadn’t the food to grumble at.”
When one contrasts the little petty
irritations of some people with the ac
tual privatldns of others they assume
a hideous aspect of insensibility to oth
e-s’ hardships that make them ugly

The man who declared publicly the other
day that marriage was a speculation was
wrong. Most men are, by the way, in
their privatae momenta. Marriage is not
a speculation any more than it Is a lottery
or any other game of chance. It la an
investment.
Aak any married man. The gay bache
lor may tell you. with a side wink, that
. he haa speculated in “little Dolly Day
dreams. front raw choruses, third to the
i.
left,’’ but the gayest of husbands havs
never yet speculated in a wife. He thor
oughly invested in her. so thoroughly that
he will never be able to realize any pro
or post nuptial stock.
Marriage is the war office of love. Once
Inside Its chaste portals you become a dif
ferent being. Matrimony ties you up fn
her trousseau ribbons and commonsense
and freedom go from you like dreams.
You cannot speculate, for you save notn
ing to specualte with—not even money.
That is required for housekeeping ex
penses and your wife’9 frocks.. You may
not speculate in outside flirtations or
specialize in carefully chosen friendship*
with members of the opposite sex. Body
and soul, you have sold your all. And
yet those who have never tried it still
speak of marriage as a speculation.
Walt a moment, though. I have for
gotten something. You can always specu
late on this, of course. you married peo
ple—on the chance of your partner in the
matrimonial market running away. This
doesn't always happen, alas; but it comes
off sometimes.
Somebody asked me the other day if I
thought a husband a worse investment
than a wife. It's hard to say, really: but
I think a husband is easier got r!d of
than a wife, if that’s any advantage. But
then, on the other hand, there are wives
who. no matter how bad an investment a
