WHEN PAPA WAS A BOY.

In all the state of Washington
A child so quick to mind.
His mother never called but once.

Or pulled his SISTERS hair.
"He never slid down banisters.
Or made the slightest noise:
And never in his life was known

lie always studied hard at school.
And got his lessons right:
And chopping wood and milking COWS
was papa's chief delight,
HE always rose at six o'clock
And went 20 bed at eight:
And never lay abed till noon
AND never sat up late.
He finished Latin, French and Greek
When he was ten years old,
And knew the Spanish alphabet
AS soon as he was told.
HE never grumbled when he had
TO do the evening chores,
And never in all his life forgot
TO shut the stable doors.
de never, never thought of play
Until his work was done:
de labored hard from break of day
Until the set of sun.
"He never scraped his muddy shoes
Upon the kitchen floor,
ana never answered back his ma
And never banged the door.
But, truly, could never see,
Said little Dick Nalloy,
How he could never do these things
And real y be a boy"

HOME OF METLAKAHTLAS.
Attempt 60 Take the Island That Wa

Given to the Indians.
Commissioner Hermann of the pener.
al land Office is preparing a report on
the bill introduced into congress segre
eating the Indians now occupying An
nette island, off the Alaskan coast, ano
restoring the remainder TO the public
domain with q view to opening it up to
settlement.
Rich mineral deposits are found in
the island, and a determined effort is
being made to have the country opened
to settlement The west peninsula con,
tains about 25 square miles, sufficient,
it is claimed, to locate all the Indians
now In the island.
This refers TO the Metlakahtla Indi-
ans, who, under the leadership of Alex
snder Duncan, missionary, recently
settled on Annette island, off the Alas
kan coast They moved to the island
from New Mstlskahtla, in British Co
lumbia, model settlement which they
founded, but which they found unen.
durable because of the exactions of the
Dominion government. Mr. Duncan was
promised immunity from any interior
enoe by our government, but the discov-
cry of rich quartz on the island has ex-
cited the oupidity of Americans. Mr..
Duncan has taught these Indians trades,
and they are sober, moral and industri.

As many millions of others are working for a miserable pittance. the consuming capac- ity of at least one-half of our population has been restricted to almost the narrowest possible limits. It should be borne in mind that production is limited by consumption, and that consumption is limited by wages, and with this fact well in mind 1t is not difficult to account for cents cotton.
 ''The best evidence that the present sys- tenn is breaking down is to be found in the fact that although cotton is cheaper than ever before in the history of the country, the people never wore such common clothes as now. The cheaper a commodity becomes under this system, the harder 1t is to get. An examination of Bradstreets reports show that 224,OOO small dealers of all kinds, either voluntarily closed their business because it was no longer profita- ble, or went into bankruptcy during the year 1897. At this rate it would not be many years until the middle class is en- tirely extinct

FUNERAL OF ]. B. SIMPSON.
His Remains Were Inferred at 0akw cd Ceme-
 tery in Montgomery.
Special to The Age-Herald.

Montgomery, Jan. 1.-The remains of Hon. James B. Simpson were inferred in .Oskwood cemetery this morning about Il o'clock, a very large concurse of his friends attending in spite of the very raw weather.
 The funeral was held from the late rssi- dence of the deceased, 4e3 Goode street at o'clock, the cortege reaching St. Peters church quarter of an hour later. rep resentation of several fire companies of the city acted as honorary escort from the house to the edifce, MT. Simpson having been a past secretary of Alabama Hose company No. 3. The first division of the Ancient Order of Hibernians and the Catholic Knights of America, in the coun- cils of which the deceased was an im- portant factor, having once been president of the knights, met the procession at the gate of the church grounds with open ranks, the firemen afterward going on one side of the vestibule and the religious or ganizations on the other. The remains were encased in a broaGcloth caskct which was literally covered with floral tributes, attesting the esteem in which the de- parted was held. Among them was cross from the Catholic Knights of AHiSitSd, IdiP lIODf tu6 AuCfeul oIuST of HJoernians; a harp from the employees at the capitol; cross from Mr. and Mrs. John P. Kohn, and a crescent from Mrs. w. B. Patterson. The most significant tribute, however, was one which came from the newspaper fraternity of Mont gomery. It was a fiat triangular design raised, upon which were the figures ''30 in immortelles, "30' signifying in newspa- per offices that "al copy is in," and that the days work so far as the writers are concerned, is ended.
 The Gregorian solemn high mass of re- quiem was celebrated by Rev. D. D. Saw age, he being assisted by Rev. Father Wright The pastor, of St. Peter's who had been. closely associated with the deceased paid him beautiful tribute. The music of the funeral mass was very impressive.
 When the remains were borne from the church to the hearse 1t was to the soulful strain of Chopin's Funeral March," The pallbearers were John Corners, of the c. K. of A; James Mcintyre, of the A. o. H. ; Robert P. McDavid and Horace Hood, of the newspaper fraternity; Henry Irwin, of the fire department Chapel Cory, w. A. Gunter, Jr., of the capitol; P. c. Massie.
 At the grave Rev. Father Savage con- cluded the Catholic rites for the dead.

unknown, but just as they were signing up the verdict another witness was secured whose evidence fastened the crime upon young Moore, and the verdict was changed so as to read that she came to her death from a gunshot wound in the hands of R. I. Moore.
 A warrant was issued for Moore's arrest, but he had gone in hiding. The affair is one of the most terrible that ever happened in Dallas county, and brings grief to his fam fly which is overwhelming to them.
 Moore is practicing attorney at the Dal- las bar and one of the brightest minds in this section of the state, being particularly gifted in oratory and before whom appeared a brilliant future.

Fifty-Eight True Bills Returned by the Grand
 Jury-0ther News
Special to The Age-Herald.

Special to The Age-Herald.
 Greensboro, Jan. 1.-The grand jury fin- ished its work and made a final report on last Saturday evening. One hundred and forty-seven cases were investigated, 354 witnesses examined and SS true bills found, at cost to the county of $33O.
 On Monday the criminal docket will be taken up. There are six capital cases on the docket viz: Bill Scott, for the murder of the Singley family; Charley Hall, for the murder of his wife; Annie Sims, for the murder of John Fields; Thomas Will burn (white), for the murder of John Glover (white); J. F. M Davis (white), for the murder of John Bozeman (white) and Wade Martin, for the murder of Ollie Ray, a woman.
 The cases of Davis and Wiburn have been continued until the April court.
 The criminal docket is larger this term of the court than it has been for many years.
 On account of bad weather, very little preparation has been made for another crop. The same system of planting will prevail this year that has been pursued in the past-that is, the acreage in corn and cotton will be about the same.
 Within the last ten days 800 head of cattle at the lowest calculation, have been shipped west from this depot. At this rate this section, in a few years will be so de- pleted of cattle that the price of beef will be advanced beyond the purchasing power of any but the wealthy.

D:Bo AT MONTGOMERY.
Addressed the Public in The Interest of His
 Pet Theories.
Special to The Age-Herald.

Special to The Age-Heraid.
 Montgomery, Jan. 17-Eugene V. Debs, the leader of Social Democracy" ad- dressed the public here on yesterday after noon in the interest of his pet theories. His hearers were chiefly workingmen. The To- cal organization of Social Democracy was well represented, for it was under its aus- pices that Debs came to this city.
 MT. Debs said the working people were largely responsible for existing conditions, and that by cooperation this competitive system upon which the wheels of commerce revolved would soon be transformed into a cooperative system-a system which would completely revive business and give a working man that show with a business man he so well deserves.
 MT. Debs told what oftentimes constituted tramp; how it happened that many young men lost their positions at home, wander ed away in search of employment for even a minimum remuneration. which they failed to secure, and finally plunged into a sea of downward life.
 He said there was a day and time when tramp was a curiosity rowing the world oyer, but that he was no longer such a be- ing MT. Debs' statistics, to which he re- ferred here, showed there were today up- ward of 2,SOO,OOO tramps-more properly con- strued men out of employment and who could not secure it under any circum- stances. He referred to Christ as the di- vine tramp of the universe
 He spoke of municipal and government ownership of railroads, telegraph lines, etc., saying whenever this important revolution oh the good of those unfortunate men classed as tramps now, as well as be better for the country in general.
 Mans inhumanity to man." said Debs. lis responsible for the hell for many. Mans humanity to man could transform 1t into 0 heaven"
 It was his opinion that at least 25 per cent of the criminals of this country could be rescued if they only had an opportunity.
 Debs only stops at two Alabama towns Montgomery and Selma He left this morning for the latter place, where he will deliver one or more addresses When seen by reporter he said he was socialist, declaring that socialism was the only remedy for present hard times. "Low wages" he continued. 'are due to the competitive system under which our in- dustries are carried forward. The longer that competition lasts, the lower wages will be forced.
 "The machine has invaded every apart ment of activity and the once independent mechanic has been forced out of employ ment, while women and children at cheaper wages have been employed to take his place.
 .In the state of Georgia children are working in the cotton mills for 57 cents a week. Under this system, which reduces manhood to merchandise. there is no sub stantial or permanent relief for the work ing class. The only solution of the difficult ty is the collective ownership of the means of production and distribution and the operation of industry for the public good instead of the privte profit.
 "Between three and four millions of workers are totally idle in this country.
