IN THE MATTER OF CRYING.
While Weeping Is Quite Natural, 1t
MEy He "Cured" In Children.

Msy He "Cured" In Children.
1t comes natura! to every woman to
pity child when it hurts itself. Be
the misadventure big or little, the
mother Immediately takes the little one
IN her arms and in her most sympa-
thetic, plying tones tries to soiace it.
And Of course the child concludes
something terrible has happened to it
and cries vigorously. A little baby if
pitied can soon be brought to weep
ing state when nothing whatever is the
matter with it. Just call up your most
tender, sympathetic tone; ask him that
time honored question, did they boos
the baby?" and the little lips will begin
to culver, the mouth to droop, and soon
wall breaks forth that is meant to in
dictate that ''they" did
OF course children will cry some
times. Crying is an institution that
cannot be done away with. Crying,
more or less, is expected with the advent
of the little stranger, but the more or
less depends largely on the parents. A
child can be laughed into a good hui
NOR Instead of plying him at the nu-
merous little hurts he gets, those that
are really of no Importance, treat
them as a good joke. Laugh at them,
and the baby will quickly laugh with
you. 1t doesn't take long to chase the
tears away. Besides doing away with
a lot of unnecessary crying it teaches

frames into the Station, last Tuesday
forenoon, and after Alex had toasted
them on canned fish and canned goods
and crackers they glided over to the
classic waters of Blue Grass to bag a
few ducks, but soon grew tired of the
sport, returned to the Station, whiled
away the time until the noon train
came along and then returned to
their homes.
Last Monday. while making his
trip to the Blue Grass Creamery, Mr..
Thos. Coglan and his horses and his
wagon got all mixed up. He was
driving three horses abreast and when
they got down to the Lewis bridge
the horses got to crowding when over
they all went into the ditch. For a
few moments there was some lively
scrambling, but in few moments the
horses gained terra frma and happily
a broken wagon tongue was the only
damage done.
Miss Lille Spencer's condition, for
the latter part Of the week, was not
improved, but the patient was very
i'll. The first of this week we were
conversing with her brother, Charley
Spencer, and he informed us that she
was much better than she had been.
A physician is in daily attendance
and everything is being done for the
lady that is known to medical science
or loving parents and friends can sug-
gest, and it is confidently expected
that with the strong constitution the
lady possesses that she will rally and
progress on the road to health, in
few days.
Last week, on Saturday, Mr.. John
McKibben received telegram from
Council Bluffs telling him that his
mother was very i'll, and for him to
come at once. Himself and wife de-
parted and fastened to her bedside as
fast as steam could carry them. Upon
their arrival at her bedside they saw
that her days on earth we're number
ed, and she gradually grew weaker
until Sunday when the end came and
her spirit winged its flight across that
dark river that we call death. They
came and prepared the body for the
tomb and on Tuesday Mr.. and Mrs.
McKibben, the other membe of the
family and a number of sorrowing
friends stood about grave and heard
the clods of earth fall upon the coffin
lid, shutting from mortal view the
remains of the best friend Mr.. McKib-
ben will ever have-his mother.

Never giving a child anything he
cries for is another excellent way to
nip in the bud the crying habit. If it is
proper for him to have, promise it to
him when he stops crying. Reward his
good behavior, not his bad. OF course
if bad habits in this direction are form
ed, it is hard to correct them. But such
discipline observed from the beginning

The white man who was killed three days ago in the Alabama Great Southern wreck near Powderly has been identified as Gusty Kaetz. He was a blacksmith and lived near Lacrosse Station, be- tween Woodlawn and Avondale.
 His remains were identified yesterday at the place of Gaudin & Loy, where they have been since the wreck. His sister made the first Identification by means of picture found in his pockets. She was refused admittance to the morgue.
 Later Christian Hofer and F. w. Kaetz, a brother Of the dead man, called and made positive the Identification of Miss Kaetz. Both immediately recognized the body as that of young Kaetz when ad- mitted to the room where it lay.
 Gusty Kaetz was helping blacksmith employed by the Southern Bridge Manu- featuring Company. He quit his work on Saturday last and had not been seen by his friends until yesterday.
 The funeral will take place this after noon at o'clock. Interment will be made at Woodlawn cemetery.

 The protest was presented by Gen. Fred s. Ferguson, who came into the office of the probate judge accompanied by Gen eral Shelley, Col. W. H. Denson, ex- Governor Johnston, F. E. White and Lee V. Cowart. As soon as he had finish ed speaking Sheriff Burgin moved that the board proceed with the count, twen- ty-six precincts having been already checked off
 Before a vote could be taken Judge Stiles stated that the duties of the can wasting board were purely ministerial and they had no authority to consider protest or anything else except to record the vote as it appeared upon the face of the returns. In support of his position he read extracts from the report on the case of Leigh vs. the State in the 69th Alabama report. This stated clearly that the duties of the board were ministerial and that it had no power to go behind the returns.
 Col. w. H. Denson addressed the board on the question of Sheriff Burgin's right to act as member thereof, and in the course of his argument grew warm in de- nouncing what he termed an outrage upon the people. He said that the vote had been fraudulent, but that it was matter of indifference to those who signed the protest what action the board took in the matter

BELIEVED TO BE AN
 EXPRESS ROBBER
j.. B. LEWIS UNDER ARREST AT SHREVEPORT, THOUGHT TO BE IMPLICATED IN A ROBBERY AT REFORM, ALA.

J. B. Lewis, white man who at one time was held in this city on suspicion of being an expert safe-cracker, is under arrest at Shreveport, La, and Is be- licved to have been come cted with the robbery of the express office at Reform. Ala, when the Pickens County school funds, amounting to about $4o00, were stolen.
 When Lewis was arrested in Birming- ham one year ago bis valise was opened and found to be filled with dynamite. ni- troglycer;ne, fuses and other material used for blowing open safes and iron for killing fish in streams, preferring that method to the hook and line. He was fined s1OO, and upon payment of the same was released.
 This ended the affair so far as the Bir- mir gham police were concerned, but de- tectives of the Southern Express Com pany nave kept constantly on the track of Lewis since that time, and now that he is arrested in Louisiana they believe he had some.hirg to do with the famous robbery at Reform. Detective D. B. Burns and Superintendent Agee of the Express Company had a conversation WlJH 1SWlS III SnTeNcpOTls AiOhi oS- scriptions of the men who were at Re- form. they believe Lewis is one of them. He stoutly denies his guilt, and rela- tive in Mississippi hes offered to make a bond fer him as h'gh as ss000.
 If the detectives attempt to bring Lewis back to Alabama they believe strenuous efforts will be made to keep the prisoner in Louisiana
 There were several men engaged in the robbery at Reform and detectives from every part of the country join in chase for them. The Birmingham de- tectives were called on and Special Of ficer Cole travelled all over Western Ala bama in pursuit of a party of men who for some purpose was evading him. No arrests were made, but the express com pany detectives secured description of Lewis when he was arrested in Bir- mingham, and after comparing 1t with the description given them at Reform they believe they have the right man.
 Detectives Burns will give no other reasons that he has for holding Lewis. but intimated that he would use every power to bring him to Alabama.

CLAIM STILL
 POLLUTES WATER
SANITARY COMMISSION FILES IN- JUNCTION AGAINST ALABAMA DlsTILLING co. IN SEEKING TO PROTECT WATER SUPPLY.

The Jefferson County Sanitary Commits sion has filed bill for injunction against the Alabama Distilling Company for the purpose of stopping an alleged source of pollution in the water supply of the city of Birmingham.
 The defendant company operates still on Five Mile Creek north of East Lake and it Is charged that the swill from the hog pens which are kept around the plant is allowed to flow in the creek and thence into the reservoir which furnishes water to the city.
 When the question as to impurities in the water furnished the people of Bir- mingham was raised the water works company expressed a willingness to have the matter investigated and committee of aldermen inspected the Cahaba river but nothing in that direction could be found to cause the impurity. The inves- tigation has continued and the sanitary commission has determined to check any possible polluting influence by filing the injunction against the Alabama Distill-. ing Company.

Majority for ratification. .....

The county election canvassing board, after a session interrupted by several in teresting colloquies between political op- ponents, yesterday officially announced majority of 1928 votes for the ratification of the new constitution in Jefferson
 A protest filed by General Charles M. Shelley and Lee V. Cowart against count ing the returns from beats 21 and 37 was laid aside, the board having no ju11sdic- tion in the matter. The protest alleged that certain irregularities in the two beats occupied by the city of Birming- ham had occurred on election day and for that reason the vote should not be counted. The principal allegation was that no managers or clerks had been al- lowed those opposed to ratification and that in the Southside box more votes were counted than had been polled

 Another charge was that Sheriff Burgin was interested in the election as an ex- tension of his term of office was depend ent upon the result. It was therefore urged that he should not be allowed to
