London WOMEart -Conducts a
Profitable Wood Business in
Alabama.
The St. Louis Lumbeaenan thus refers to
he business sucaese of a former resident of
London, Ontario, and who has many friends
Su that city:
•
"Few people who haze ,bought lumber
from 'A. L Livingeton,' or Thomasville,
Alabama, and there are r1141:15,- have any
;idea; that they have been .dealing with a
svonsan. Such, however, is the ease, and it
`yes us pleasure to present to our readese
handsome face of one of whom it can
'be said that she is an sap-to-ditte' woitt6,
mot in the sense of what is known as a 4 neYir
'woman,' possessing traits, habits and senti-
ments- which, from time immemorial, have
been regarded as unwomanly, but on the
tontrary, possessing all that is best in wo-
-mien—purity, truth, gentleness, sympathy
.and love, coupled with an araount of energy,
tact and business acumen rarely met with
in*smy one, much leas in the gentler sex.
.Born and reared in Canada, she possesses in
marked degree the strength of body and
mind to which that energetic climate is so
aionducive. Her education was liberal, and
necessity has developeei the rest.
"After her marriage her husband Moved
Across the line and went into sawmill*,
first in the 'shingle business near Brunswick,
.Georgia,, subsequently running a small saw-
mill near Anniston, Alabama -where he was
-swamped by. the collapse in business all over
the South, due to speculation in the later
-eighties. Broken in health and fortune, he
moved to Themsaville, Alabama, bought. a,
-very- small portable mill on credit, and sad-
-denly died, leaving the subject of this
.sketch with a young daughter to support,
and practically penniless. After a sudden
outburst of grief over the dead, she was
saroused to the seriousness ,of the condition'
pf the living, and with this -thought upper-
sYrost in her mindsshe set about planning
what to do. Proud, high string and self-
reliant, she gently but firmly declined to
make her home with her brothers, the
Spencer Brothers, of Talcott, Alabama,
(formerly of London, Ontario,) who were
and are successful lumber manufacturers,
preferring to alone undertake the support of
herself and the education of her daughter,
then only ten'years of age.
"The mill was not paid for. She had no
teams or timber, bat these obstacles, which
would have settled the case with a man,
were not considered insurmountable by her,
so she set out, purchased a small body of
stumpage to he paid for as cut, bought a
couple of teams on credit, hauled her mill
to the woods two miles from the railroad,
set it up and began to saw, firtit going to
Mobile and one or two other places and se-
-curing sortie saw bilis. ' Of the hardships,
meated and physical, she endured, how she
had to suierintend the logging, loading,
inspectieg,ibilling, do her own hook -keep-
ing, and; at the same time her --domestic
work, would take a:big book to record, and
yet she did it uncomplainingly. At no
time didsheattempt to excite sympathy or
secure trade on account of being ; a woman,
but on the contrary, had her stationery
printed without the prefix denoting sex, and
this article will be the first notice to the
;large number of ca u companies, contractors
-and lumber dealers 5-11 Over the country that
in buying of A. L Livingston, of Thomas-
-vine, Alabama, they have been trading with
sane of the bravest and best of -women—who
after years of toil, privation and anxiety,
has at last accumulated a nice little fortune,
-educating her daughter at a northern con-
vent, and is to -day forging ahead, after
having gained the name of being 'the
smartest sawmill man* in Alabama.
We commend Mrs. Livingston to our
host of leaders as a sweet, womaely wo-
man, and point to her success as a testimony
of the possibilities of her sex !when directed
with like eriergy,intelligenee and judgment."

A second-problemi, and one not ;so difficult
of solution as that Of securing_ the necessary
desirable subscribers, is to secure the capital
necessary to construct a modern telephone
plant.* Such a plant cannot be properly
constructedfor less than from $95 a sub-
scriber to $175 a salaseriber, depending on
the eize bi the exchange ; the larger the
plant the higher the average cost per sub- -
scriber. A rst-class telephone plant hay-
• .tch board capacity of 1,000 sub -
completed for $125,000,while
bly 'require an investment of
$5. f, 1 tatiehtplate every detail in a mod-
ern, plant of 3,000 subseribers. Many op-
position telephone exchanges have been
built for at less sum per subscriber, notably,
Topeka, Kansas; Fort Smith, Arkameas, ;
Selma, Alabama; Wankesha, Wisconsin,
and Immo twenty others. But these ex-
changes no longer exist, having gone the
way of all purely speculative e*erpristes,
and leaving no return for the heavy invest-
ment. Now the shrewd financier is not pue-
tin his money into investments that prom-
ise as fat pluckingfor promotor and lawyer
as competing telephone exchanges do. -He
may loan the use of his name in return for a
profitable consideration. But the plant will
be built, (well or poorly), from the invest-
ments made by "lambs "--honest and un-
suspecting cieatures who are so in,experi-
eneed as to believe that because a certain
prominent citizen holds quite a . block of
stock in a new enterprise he must have in-
vested a large amount therein. And as the
" lamb " seldom has the reserve- capital
necessary to protect an investment of this
character, he soon has se practical illustra-
tion of how easily his venture may be swal-
lowed up and lost for ever.

But the most difficult problem that con-
fronts the new company in a large city is to
so plan the constructive and engineering
features of a plant as to insure from the
start a satisfactory high-class service t� sub-
scribers already educated to a high standard
of telephone service. It means something
more than placinge, switch -board ina room
and connecting thereto the wires radiating
out to the sabscribers' telephones. For the
building of the modern telephone plant in a
large city includes the planniirg or the con-
struction of outlying exchanges connected
to each other and also to the main exchange
by underground trunk lines; and in tile
proper arrangement and disposition of these
trunk lines, and the rapid handling . of the
ever increasing traffic in conversations,
abides an engineeriog problem, requiring
capacity, ability,and experience of the high-
est order to satisfactorily solve, and thereby
evolve a successful modern telephone plant.

a
Cobbler Feared Competition.
Clergymen are frequently good story
tellrs, but as a rule, a proper dignity pre -
%tents them from wanting to appear in that
light publicly. The following was narrated
to a Star reporter bt a popular divine:
"In the days of my early ministry," ite
said. "-I thought it necessary to impress
thoughts of salvation by everything I utter-
ed, Mid I am afraid I was sometimes not al-
together discreet.
"My first work was in a Western mining
camp, and I had to remain over night at a
rough hotel to wait for a stage to covey me
tomy destination: At the table a 'savage
looking man said, gruffly.
"What might be your line, young feller ?"
"Saving souls," I said, solemnly.
" Ugh, ' was the only response.
"After supper a coarselyidressed
approached inc and said: ;•
"Pardnar, let's make some kind o' dicker.
We're in the same line, an' thar a'nt room
fer both. Thar's a camp furcler up the
criek whar yo' could do well." .

said, "I am a minister of the Gospel."

Difficulties of Telephone
Competition.
.A writer in the New York Post Says :
When a new telephone company a tempts
to secure a foothold in a large city, itfinds
that one of the great problemsit s t mu t solve
lies, not in the total number of subAcribers
it can secure, hut in the number of desirable
subscribers that, will prove permaneht and
-paying patrons. , For the service of a tele-
phone exchange increases in value in the
sem ratio as the mules of the desirable ele-
ments in the community are added to its
'lists of subscribers. In other words, while
a newspaper circulating only among saloons
and read principally by the -frequenters of
such places might prove profitable t a cer-
tain class of advertisers,. the genera adver-
tiser would not use its columns, as it would
.not reach the public in general—the buying
• classes. So a telephone exchange might se-
cure several hundred or a thousand or two
subscribers,and met the combinations afford-
-ed have no practical value to the donstant
user of telephone service or the gene al pub-
lie, and the secured subscribers b rarely
called for. But the progressive merchant
-must pay his tribute to each company just.

was larrnping a slipper and gyring vent to
terrified cries of woe.

younger rads, whomit • is not considered
judicious to place a ong criminal associ-
ates; the Mimic° Indu trial School is pro-
vided. i When a boy I sent to Mitnico, how-
ever, the county is obliged to administer to
his support, whereas, f he is sent to one of

by criminal associates., It is probable .that

into Mimic° school, ani to force the county
