That she lost was owing to the same
reason that Defender lost the contest.
She was outclassed as vessel.

COUNCILMEN ON ICE CITy FATHERS THOUGHT THEY WERE IN COLD STORAGE. Janitsr Charlie White Nearly Scared Out of His Wits by Q Resolu-
 ton Seeking to Fire
 Him.

Charlie White, the negro janitor at the city hall, came so near losing his job Monday night that his heart climbed right up into his larynx and stayed there a full ten minutes.
 The City Council was In session and Charlie was on hand to see that the big stove in the rear of the Council Chamber provided the proper warmth for the Montgomery city fathers. The hours wore away and Charlie, who Is yellow ann aent's U'd SssE. dTowsiiy. S He had nearly fallen asleep when he heard an emphatic voice speaking right out in open meeting and saying; "I % move we get another
 This interested Charlie very much. He sat up. He pulled his eyes wide open and he listened.
 It was Alderman Hartley speaking There was determination in his voice. It was the kind of determination that made Charlie quake.
 .1s the city short on coal?" demanded Alderman Hartley. Are our funds so low that we cannot provide fires for city AldermenT' he asked again. There was an intense silence. Then | Charlie rushed across the floor, appar- ently fin search of the desired informa- tien He brought up at the stove and be- gan to throw coals into it's furnace.

 About this time the belligerent Alder man espied the negro janitor who was busily engaged in tumbling coals into the stove. Here was an opportunity to avenge his wrong.
 MT. President I move we get an- other tanitOr." the Alderman repeated, emphasizing his first proposition to the Council.
 Charlie shivered and shuddered. His time had come and he saw himself RO- ing out inte the cold. cold night bereft of his monthly stipend.
 And the Alderman from Ward 5 moves that the City Clerk employ an- other janitcr," President Fleming was saying.
 The awfulness of the moment dawned upon Alderman Hartley.
 Never mind. never mind" he said. T withdraw the motion"
 The janitor has kept a fire in the stove all right quietly remarked City, Clerk Hardaway. Perhaps you are sitting fin a draft, MT. Hartley"
 Its as cold as a refrigerator oyer here," snapped the Alderman. but I'll go over to the stove"
 Yes. there's a good fire in the stove" replied the City Clerk. Then lowering his voice he added: Suppose you go away back and sit down"
 Alderman Hartley got back to the stove and hugged it until the Council adjourn
