Beggars mounted run their horses te death. Henry VI.
Another Natural Guardian.


 The two Montgomery papers-both daily-have forgotten suffrage reform and many other reforms, and are dis cussing from day to day the issue raised by Colonel Kyle. But they do not consist" for while one demands the construction of modern hotel, and the placing of sounding boards and the like in Montgomery's Auditorium so that when a man shouts at the top of his voice he can be heard few feet does this, the other says the hall of the House of Representatives is good enough for the convention and the al legged hotels of Montgomery are ample, fine and very desirable" Until the pair get together, it is impossible to discuss this issue, for what one says the other denies, and a mere outsider does not know which horn of the di- lemma to combat.
 The esteemed Advertiser is mis- taken, however, when it says it has not attacked Colonel Kyle, who is a we'll known citizen, personally. With rare "sarkasm" it asserted that he had con. stituted himself the guardian angeP of the convention. After accusing him of an attack of nervousness, it advises him not to worry over this matter" As Colonel Kyle is a delegate and will sit in the convention he very naturally takes an interest in the welfare and comfort of the convention. He is a boomer of Gadsden, but his interest in Birmingham is not greater probably than his interest in Montgomery, all though it is difficult to see why he should be so impartial when the two towns are under consideration.
 It is unkind, too, in the esteemed Ad- vertiser to attack the mountain air of Alabama's famous summer resort as it does. In one of it's latest editorial leaders-for.it cannot do justice to the issue in single article-it says the atmosphere of Jones valley is grinny. If the mountain air of Alabama is grimy, what must her lowland air be-? We leave this conundrum with the esteemed Advertiser, trusting it will not consider The Age-Herald a guard. ian angel of airs, or bit nervous, or given to unnecessary worrying.
 But before discussing this grave sub ject it is well to stop to ask why the valued Advertiser goes out of it's way, in third editorial, to censure the dele gates of the convention as a whole. There isn't" it says, "a delegate elected to the constitutional convention to meet in a short time, but knew just what accommodations would be af- forded them in Montgomery. There isn't delegate who was conscripted to run for the position" Colonel Kyle seems to have transferred his nerv- ousness, if he ever had any, to the overwrought Advertiser, which goes on to consign the. delegates in good part to boarding houses, and to the hall of the House of Representatives. It more ir,ti hot f. enough for men who were not con. scripted. Instead of assa;1 'g Colonel Kyle and Birmingham and The Age Herald, the esteemed Advertiser is now whacking the delegates as body over the head. This lets us out, and also Colonel Kyle.

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR.
From the New York Press.

There is no marriage in heaven; this Is how the place keeps up its reputation.
 The trouble Is that as soon as a wo- man begins to be intellectual she begins to look like it.
 Love will make a girls heart feel as big as a mans wisdom tooth the day he de- cides to have it pulled.
 If man always took his wifes advice probably he would pever either have any disease or invest any money.

 The debt has been increased in a century forty-fold, although the popu- lation has not been doubled, and prob ably never will be. It stands now at 38 millions as against 27 millions in 1901. The country now is satisfied with stationary population. If emi- grafton were feature of France, as it is of Germany or Italy or Austria-Hun- gary, or Russia, each census would show decrease.
 But the debt shows no signs of halt ing. France has the largest public debt in the world-the largest the world has ever known. Reduced to our currency her debt is 6010 millions of dollars, as against $40 millions of dollars for the United Kingdom, and 1879 millions for the United States. The annual interest cnarge on the debt of France is $249,OOO,0OO. Heavy as hOi HUI CSt Shdl SC ID J0t Iu6 ISnCn budget is by no means the largest in the world. The one just submitted for the year 1902 foots up $72O,000,OO0, in- cluding $20,OO0,OO0 on account of new bill to provide pensions for working men. The American budget prepared by the recent short session of Congress aggregates $729,911 ,O0o, and the Brit ish budget calls for 2OOOO,OOO. The last-named budget is largely swelled by the expenses of the South African war If France were called upon to face an expensive war either her debt would mount to still higher figures, or else her rate of taxation would be exceed ingly heavy and burdensome.

Passing of a Little Child.

"she was very beautiful and sweet, and loved her-Golden hair. blue eyes-beau- tiful and good and true-and loved her and she Is dead, and sent some carna- tions to say I loved herr'
 Thus there rattled on a twelve-year- old maiden. talking about a maiden of her own age, dead before her time, and come today to her poor little six feet of earth out wonder upon Oak Hill, where rest Q multitude of them that did not forget God, and whom God has not forgotten.
 She babbled on-babbled of the green fields-that living child talking of her who had fallen asleep. She was radiant ly transcendantly, beautiful, that child. in her blue and white frock, that reached but to the knees where the black stock ings seemed to begin and with her tangled hair seeming to run riot over her shnllt face inviting sober manhood to adore her as the other self of another self tran scendently pure and bright.
 And that child babbled there of the child that was dead, and there were tears In her voice, sobs in the proud and faith full heart
 'She had blue eyes and golden hair and-and-she was like you said one time about another-she had heart of sun shine and soul of song-you know-It's perfectly awful she's dead-You know last spring we used to play together When you said I looked so pretty in my white and blue dress, the one I've got on now-and she's dead You know how 1t comes-you have the heart that knows! Won't you write something-won't you say she had golden hair and blue eyes and that loved her-I loved her so.''

NO SEWER
Near the Miller
Building,
Causes Revoking of
Former Action.
Seats For New Schools
Selected.
Several Complicated Matters to be
Acted on by New Board.

The action of the Board of Educa-
tion providing that the Miller school
he equipped with the Mott system OF
water closets, has necessarily been re
vcrsed, and referred back to the Heat
ing and Ventilatng committee. This
was done as result OF Mr.. Harpham's
attracting the attention of the Board
to the fact that prospects for securing
not good. 1t is practically assured
that outside closets will have to be
built, as little advance has been made
in legislation to provide that imme-
diatc vicinity with sewer.
SEATS SELECTED.
Mr.. Hartzell, of the Supplies com
mittec, recommended that the Rugby
desk, manufactured by the II. An
drcws Co., Chicago, be adopted for the
new school buildings. The recommcn-
dation was adopted. At least 600 new
seats will be required for the schools
next year. The work of the committee
ended with the selection of IA style OF
seats. The new Board will decide how
many seats are needed, and act upon
the prices submitted.
CONDITION OF UNCERTAINTY.
There are no prospects for settlement
of the dispute between Portage town
ship and the Board of Education relat,
ing to ownership of the school on North
Hill. Considering this, the question
was asked whether it would be ad-
visable to contract with teachers for
that school for term exceeding the
time of the lease of the building.
The new Board will also be confronted
by this question. Col. Gibbons further
increased the work for the new Board
by asking that the report that Portage
township was soon to be legally dis
continued be properly investigated.
