POLL TAX INJUNCTION.
Petition Ready to File in District
Court.

Court.
W. W. Harvey, attorney for the anti
poll tax association, has ready to file be-
fore the district court, a petition for an
injunction to restrain the city from coll
lecting $500 poll tax. The petition is
drawn on the relation of A. P. Jetmore,
name of the state if he consents.
The petition says arrests would be
trespass upon persons arrested for not
paying the tax for the following Teasons:
First-That the title of said ordinance
does not clearly express the subject there
of, being only that certain persons and
not a general class Of persons are to be
affected.
Secondhand the said ordinance ex-
preSsly exempts members of the National
Guard and members of the fire depart
ment from the provisions thereof; and in
cludes in its provisions all other members
of the class of persons thus exempted,
and thereby denies to all such other per-
sons the equal protection of the law
Third-That the provision against sub
stitutes in section one, perverts the OBJ
ject Of the law and makes the exaefion OF
money for the benefit of the general reve-
nue. fund of the city, instead of getting Ia
Dor performed on the streets.
Fourth-That said ordinance imposes
upon said male residents subjected there
to involuntary servitude not for punish
ment of crime, and violates the thirteenth
amendment Of the United Statesuunun
amendment ofg the constitution of the
United States

CROP REPORT.

The average temperature of the past
week was from 2 to degrees below
normal, and there was less than the u
sual amount of sunshine. Except in
portions of the south east district the
soil has been thoroughly saturated by
heavy showers, from the 18th to the
10Th. Harvest operations have been re-
tarded by wet weather and cloudiness,
and in the northern and western dist
riots considerable local damage result
ed to hay and small grain. The bene-
fits resulting from these copious rains,
however,very greatly exceed the losses
caused by excess. Corn is steadily ad-
vancing, giving promise of more than an
average yield. The pastures are fresh
and succulent as in early June. The
aftermath of the meadows promises to
recoup the losses sustained in the hay
harvest. And Vegetation generally is
unusually green and vigorous for the
midsummer period. The markets are
abundantly supplied with early apples:
but the winter apple crop is likely to
| fall considerable short of the promise
during the blooming period.

Fried Ale


"Hot ale-did you ever drink it?"
asked an artist. IN tell you of my
experience with hot ale. In English
novels somewhere years ago and a
friend Of mine came across it. Tot
hale we called it facetiously. Well,
one Christmas morning we set out on
our quest like Arthurian knights after
the grail. We walked IA miles to the
properly quaint town of Green Lane,
and then we were ripe for a meal and
for our drink. AT the Green Lane inn
they We're serving turkey dinner, but
we declined that as unEnglsh and or
dered our bread and cheese and hot ale
in the bar.
'"The bartender, who smelled like the
hostler, asked us how to heat the ale
We didn't know. So we poured it into
a frying pan and let it come to sizzle.
We drank it, but it had Il most abom-
Unable taste and left us with headaches
all the long walk home. Such disap-
pointment, Fried ale it was, we
agreed. not hot ale. Afterward we
found out how to prepare it properly.
Mulled ale is the same thing. You
thrust a redhot poker into the full
glass and when it creams over sprinkle
in little nutmeg, sugar and spices."-

Pirates of the Philippines.

The Moros are born pirates. The sea
seems more their home than the land.
They fairly revel in the water, for,
wherever possible, they build their
houses in the sea, raising them on piles
sunk in the shoal waters of the coast.
This mode of building has been fol-
lowed in all the Philippine Islands, the
houses. even if miles from the sea, be-
ing built on piles. 1t seems to suggest
time when the Malays were water
dwellers In truth. a backward glance
through time shows us the Malay sea
rovers setting out in their warpraus to
conquer the multitude of islands in the
south sea and haunting the coasts so
as to be ready to take to the water
