The splitter who desires to spit,
Expecting to expectorate,
Must now make up his mind to quit
Or go behind the prison gate.
The man with microbes IN his chest,
Must let them gnaw serenely theIs
And not discharge them from his breast
To spread disease throughout the air.
Tobacco chewers, whose amber
Was used to freseo walks and cars,
Are made to shudder now with fear
Of fine, or worse-the prison bars.
Oh shades Of Kansas, where the law
Prohibits men from selling drinki
Here at the Capital we draw
The line to make folks stop and think.
Our liberties are thus assailed,
Those Of Us who would smoke or chew,
Our right TO spit has been curtailed,
Unless We walk where horses do.
The ladies' skirts, that hitherto,
Have been bedrabbled in our spit

That laundrymen viii have to quit,
The nicotine We have eschewed
We now must keep within our frame;

Rivaling the oIeanders in brightness,

Serene Quiet Everywhere.
There are two marked impressions
which every stranger IN Bermuda re
ceives. These are the unaccountaele
bIueness of the surrounding water and
the serene quiet of the islands For the
water, no adiecttves are strong enough
or intense enough to tell how wonder

hopeless to expect anyone ever to guess
at its beauty. It must be seen, and then

new wonder that anything could be so

its IoyeIiness, before one can begin to

A elias of men who know the real
meaning Of the term ''strenuous life'
are the hardy pump lineman, who
superintend the transit of oil from
well to tide water. They live thousands
of feet above the level Of the sea on
lonely mountains, Months pass and
they never see new face. Clouds,
mists and fog, above, Below and
around them, form the, eternal land
scape. In the summer season, the
work, though hard. can be endured;
its main dscomforts are the isolation
and the physical exhaustion. But
when winter chains the mountains in
its icy spell then the lineman is SUBJ
jected to hardships from which even
the strongest man might well shrink.
Even though the mercury coquette
with the zero, the pipes must be kept
in condition to carry the oil. To make
necessary repairs the lineman must
climb mountains, cross rayines and
ford rivers and creeks, Sometimes he
must stand waist deep for hours in
snow and water, and when bis task is
finished, tramp back miles through
snow-choked and ice-bound forests be-
fore he can reach the shelter Of his
humble home. They are heroes Of
everyday life, these brave men. No

sings their praises, yet they daily sub

IN INTEREST OF
 BOYS REFoRMAToRY

The Birmingham Age-Herald of yester- day says of Mrs. Johnston's visit to Mont gomery in the interest of the Boys Re formatory:
 Mrs. R. D. Johnston will leave this morning for Montgomery. where she goes in the interest of the Boys Industrial school. She is anxious for the bill asking for an appropriation to be introduced be. fore the Legislature takes a recess, and she will make every effort to interest the legislators In behalf of the measure. "As was shown in the recent report of the Board. the industrial school has been largely maintained by private donations and that the State has failed In it's duty to this institution.
 ''Under the new Constitution, unless an appropriation is made by the present Leg Is Iature, four years will elapse before any action could be taken looking to the support of the school.
 Tt is imperative, therefore, that an ap- propriation be made during this session of the Legislature.
 There was never more critical period in the brief history of the industrial school.
 Just now is . supreme crisis, unless the situation can be so presented to the Leg islature that an adequate appropriation will be made.
 There is no one who Is more able to present the situation than Mrs. Johnston. But the time has come when she should be relieved of the great burdens she is bearing. The time has come when the State should assume the obligations and the responsibilities that are resting upon a small number of noble women; and If the State refuses to do its part towards reformation of it's criminally-inclined chil- dren. then Jefferson County should see to 1t that the industrial school shall not close it's doors"

MAHARA's MINISTRIES.

Negro Performance at McDonald's
 Theatre Last Night.
 A good sized audience of negroes ana few white persons saw Maharas negro minstrels at McDonald's Theatre last night.
 The performance ,s not up to the stand ard set by other negro companies who have visited Montgomery. There are sev- eral female members of the company and their presence detracts from the perform ance. Their assumption of the manner isms of white soub-ettes grates on the nerves of respectable persons.
 There are some good numbers in the first part especially the song. Anna. Let Me Hear From you" by H. M. Prince.
