TWO-CENT FARES IN DARK.
Consul Declares That No Clear State-
ment of Meaning of the Term
Has Been Made.
-
In consular reports from England .
.
land , and in newspaper and lung.
azine articles writteu'by the mnnJ' ' i
Americans who tour this country
for the purpose of investigating
municipnl systems , there are fre .
Cuent } references to the two . cent t
street car fares in England , bu t
I have not seen in any of the write
jugs n. clear statement of what if : !
meant by a two . cent street car
fare , says a recent consular re
POI't.
The average distance . one can
travel in Birmingham for two
cents is one mile two furlongs and
158 yal'ds. The minimum "peunJ
stage" ( two.cent distance ) is sip I
furlongs and 189 yards and the
longest penny , stage 2 miles and
178 yards. When the leases of
the present street car lines ( cable
and steam trams and n. couple of
electric lines ) have expired , and
Birmingham is in a position to
build and conduct an electrical
street railway srstem-and : it will
be fully 1907 before there can be
anything like a complete system-
the penny or two - cent stages will
not extend over two mil s.
It has always seemed to me that t
street car travelers who can af
ford to take short rides are the I
ones who can afford to pay full
fares. The penny ( two - cemit ) sys
tern of charges for a given dis
tance , and between arbitrary
points , offers transit facilities of I
a less accommodating , because
less flexible , character to the aver
age street car user , as compared
with a single fare of five cents for
any distance. It favors those residing
siding near one of the termini or
"penny stages , " and any of the
public who happen to be near a
"penny stage" when wishing tu
use a street car , and particularly
when the needs are to go to a point
near a terminus or "penny stage. "
The sYiitem also practically ex ,
eludes the aoption of the 1'tonnR.

fer system , ; ; facility so much ape
preciated by street car users in
the United States. If '
a person' ! : :
business place is 25 yards from u
"penny stage , " and his home 2fJ (
yards beyond the next "penny
stage , " and he wishes to ride all
the way home , and the "penny
stage" is two miles , which will be
the maximum stage of the new systems .
terns in Birmingham , the street
car tare would be six cents for
two miles and 45 yards.
BRING YOURSELF TO WORK
Better Results Attained When Whole
Spirit Is Put Into Accomplishing -
ing Task at Hand.
It makes all the difference in the .
world , in results , whether you
come to your work every day with
all your powers intact , with all
your faculties up to the standard j
whether you come with the entire
man , 80 that you can fling your
whole life into your task , or with
only a part of yourself ; whether
you do your work as a giant or as
u pigmy , says Orison Swett Mars.

how can he expect a Bound career

Good work is not entirely n
question of will ' power ; often this
is impaired by a low physical
fit.nmIul'd. The quality of the
work cannot be up to high-water
murk when every faculty , every
function , and every bit of your
ability is affected by your physical
and mental condition. You may
be sure that your weakness , what. -
ever its cause , will appear in your
day's work , whether it is making
books or selling them , teaching
school or studying , singing or
painting , chiseling statues 01' dig-
ging trenches. I
FIX A SOUTHERN BARBECUE
Explnnntion of This Innovation in
True Down-South Style-Shote
a Delicncy.
The way we fix for II barbecue
is to begin to get ready the day
befo' . The meat is rOllstin' all
night , says Outing. We have
plenty of different ldnds-shote ,
calf , kid and goat-and we roast
'em whole. A trench is dug and
oak bark coals put in. Then sticks
arc laid across for the shote and
other creatures to rest on. Some
white man has this in charge , but
the niggers keep the fires goin' an'
do the basting and the rough
work. The next day everybody
comes. There's a detail to do the
carving , and we all step up and get
what we want and go and act
down bJ some tree to eat it. Of
course there's potatoes and corn-
meal lightbread and pickles and
cake , and there's ice cream , and
there's pure , genuine coffee that
the old ladies make in almndance. ;
Then there's fried chicken if anyone -
one is fastidious enough to want
it , and Borne enterprising fellow
is likely to bring a dozen bottles
of beer and invite his special
friends out to his buggy to drink
it. But the best thing to mJ think.
in' is the shote. A man hasn't got
any part in the resurrection until
be's eaten barbecued shote. ,
Attended 10,000 Funerals
At the annual meeting of the
parishioners of Fat'nworth.with-
Kearsley parish church , near

sexton of the church , George
Holmes , had celebrated his ju-
bilee. He had commenced his
duties when 16 years of age , and
has officiated at nearly 10,000 fu-
nerals. _ _ - - _ . - - - _ _ . I
