MORE POETRY FROM
 THE COUNTY JAIL
W. J, MuI|igan Gives Some inn preSSionist Word Pictures
 of Jail Life.

The Age Herald is in receipt of another poem from w. J. Mulligan, who Is tenn pororily stopping in the county jail SS 1t gives an interesting picture of jail life it is published for the benefit of Carrie Nation, who is coming to Birmingham and who as MT. Mulligan suggests, may get dose of the county jail:
 THE DEVIL IS TO PAY. The time I came to Birmingham, Was on St. Patrick's Day; When I got good and gloriously drunk Oh, the devil was to pay. Sure, to me, it seemed like magic, When I found myself In jail; With my eyes as black as charcoal, And I couldn't make my bail. Now, the county jail I stop at; It's on the hoodoo plan; It would paralyze St. Patrick If he stopped in Birmingham.
 N Sure, I eat a dinner of greasy pig, They killed up in Chicago, And topped it off with corn bread, And now I have lumbago. o the bedbugs. and all other bugs, With bugs that run the place; If they were in the Philippines, They would surely win the race. If Carrie Nation comes to town And tries her game of smashin', She'll get a dose of the county jail That'll put her out of fashion.
