NURSERY AND KINDERGARI EN.
Mrs. Dubois Romance and Her De-
vOtion to the Chiidren's Cause.


vOtion to the Ct,iidren's Cause.
The nursery and kindergarten on the
lower floor of the church were all in order
yesterday, though. OWNS to the rain. no
babies appeared. This feature of the con-
gress is the particular pet project of Mrs
Frederick T. Dubois. wife of Senator Du-
bois. and well it may be- She originated
the idea. and has taken much pains to
have it carried out in perfection. The fur
niture and many ri the toys have been
contributed by local dealers.
We might have made money by making
it an advertising feature" Mrs Dubois
said frankly last night, but that wasn't
what we wanted. We meant that every
thing should be the best of its kind, and
that nothing should be here which was
not really needed in such a place"
Mrs. Dubois Romance.
There is every reason why Mrs. Dubois
should be interested in the Mothers
Congress. for very pretty little romance
is mixed UP with her connection with it.
1t was when she was delegate to the
first one, some five years ago. that she

any secret to say that the baby of which
she is now the proud mother is being
brought up strictly on the principles ad-
vocated by the COMPRESSOR on those
which she considers the best. for there
are a good many different plans of bring
ing up children under discussion by that
body.
Entitled to Full Credit.
Mrs. Dubois discovered. yesterday.
somewhat to her amazement. that she
had been so busy working for the con-
gress, and the day nursery in particular.
that she had forgotten to impress her
own connection with it on the mind OF
the public. as is the duty of every person
anxious fer a reputation for astuteness !;
and that, in consequence. somebody else
was getting the credit of the whole bust
, ness in al least two newspapers.
When a reporter for The Times hap
pened upon her last night she was strug-
CLING to bring her sense OF humor to the
rescue, and was succeeding fairly we'll
under the circumstances.
Il don't care so very much about the
I credit of it," she said demurely. But /
should just like to have my name men
toned"

But We find here in childish form such
permanent truths as the freedom OF the
human spirit. and its conquest over space
and time, the triumph of good over evil,
the kinship between man and nature, the
assertion of inner worth over external
appearance, the duty of service to ones

short-sighted Objections.

The objections made to myths and
fairy tales by many conscientious people,
because they do not teach truth, is very
short sighted, and shows an inability to
distinguish between the literal and the
true Certainly We Know that there never
lived such creatures as the giants, elves,

them as willful lies and inventions with

JUDGE JONES ORGANIZES
 THE FEDERAL GRAND JURY
Names of Men Whose Sentences Had Been Suspend cd We're Called and Two We're
 Sent to Jail.

ed guilty to charges of retailing liquor without a license, Illicit distilling ana other misdemeanors. r W
 The sentences of these men were sus- pended for six months by the Judge last term on the condition that they make an earnest effort to pay to the clerk or the court their fines or as much of them as possible by the present meeting of the court. Nearly all of those given this showing by Judge Jones are men of large families and small means of support. Their imprisonment would have meant hardships for their families.
 Yesterday the names of all of these men were called and the question was asked, How much have you paid?" Some of them had paid $ or sio of their fines of sl0O, some had paid larger amounts. Most of tnem had paid nothing.
 When asked the cause of their not pay ing the fine, some shook their heads and muttered in low voices. T just couldn | make any money over living.
 In nearly every case the sentences were suspended another six months in the hope that the money might be paid.
 Cases of Human Interest.
 A young countryman from the hills to the northwest of Montgomery was called. He was a handsome, broad shouldered young fellow and was the possessor of a pair of fine brown eyes. When asked the usual questions by the court, he didn't mutter his answers. They came straight out, respectful, lacked grammar. but they were honest.
 Judge" said he, "I just couldn't make the money. We can't hardly make bread in our country and with my wife and babies to feed I couldn't save copper to pay the government"
 Judge Jones carefully studied the face the young moonshiner.
 You have . good face, young mar" !" he said. and I believe you to be honest. How much money can you pay the gov- ernment in the next six monrhs?"
 q can't promise anything, Judge"
 twill you pay hs1f?
 T can't promise?'
 "A third?'
 1T can't promise"
 What can you promise. thsn7'
 T can promise to try to pay you some- thing, Judge and that's all"
 "Your sentence is suspended another six months, sir" said the Judge.
 Two moonshiners. neighbors, were call. ed. Each of them said: Judge, l can't pay that fine and reckon I'd just better begin serving my sentence and git done with it. I don't want to keep on prom ising and never paying and I expect I'll just go to jail" Judge Jones agreed with the men and the names of J. I. Burkett and B. r. Hawkins, illicit distillers. were placed on the jail docket last night.
 After the dispjosal of these cases the court adjourned until s:3o o'clock this morning.
