NERVES CURED ON THE SEA.
Work That Helps ,Ae Sufferer on
 Board Small CruiserN

bOSlOH
 For nervous people or people who suf- fer from nervous dyspepsia or exhaustion there is no kind of life which compares with that aboard the small cruiser, where the sufferer must do some of the work about the deck. But there must be real work not just lending a hand on a line here and there.
 Many things are to be borne in mind bV the amateur sailor when he decides to live for time aboard vessel as owner and master" First of all, he must be philoso- phical. He must not take birdlike life too seriously. Accidents and maritime dangers such as storms and collisions must be looked out for but not made into nightmare to worry him. He must carry away gear and perhaps a stick or two now and then without getting on his nerves. There is little danger in bad weather if he uses ordinary judgment in shortening sail and he must remember that only lunatics or worse carry much sail in heavy squalls. His craft, with moderate amount of outside ballast will be quite uncapsizable under the conditions she was designed to undergo If he wish es to have craft that will carry all sail in black squall or a topsail in a gale he should get ashore and join the rocking chair fleet. There he may indulge in problems of metacentric height to his hearts content without danger to him self or companions.
 Neither should he be too particular in regard to his personal habits. He should board the craft with the spirit he had when he went on his first picnic and be ready to live in plain style. This warning wil be appreciated after an expensive steward brings him in his first meal or two.
 Canned goods need not be served aboard yachts cruising in the waters along the coast. He is poor steward who cannot furnish fresh beef. chops and steaks, to say nothing of all kinds of fish, at a mod crate expense. Then, with rice. macaroni hOminy and some of the numerous pre- pared foods he will have d necessary va riety without opening his tins. They should be reserved for necessity when the market has failed. With proper slowing a vast amount of good food may be taken aboard and kept out of sight, yet always easy of access.

A ROMANCE
 OF AUTAUGA Bridegroom Secretly BOr- rOWed Wedding Suit. CONVICTED OF LARCENY Torn from Arms of Bride Who
 Aided Him.
Eloquent Recommendation from the State Board of Pardons for Par don of Young Bridegroom
 Allowed by Governor.

| This is case of grand larceny festoon-
 ed with the roses of rpmance. It is a chap ter from the short and simple annals q
 the poor. The defendant was m love with d
 fair-haired Alabama girl and the girl l loved him. They desired in spite of diff | hcultleS-things present and things to
 come--to unite their lives for veal or for
 woe in the holy bonds of wedlock Two | things stood in the way, to wit the ob- Jecuon of the girls mother and the ab- sence of a suitable suit of clothes for l the groom-to-be. The first obstacle was
 overcome by an "elopement" and the sec 1 ond by the girl loaning her lover suit
 or her brothers clothes purely and wholly singly and solely for the purpose of mar rying in. But alas! the clothes were not in evidence on the day of the simple mar
 riage. They were found and carried back by the owner, but the song of love still sounded in the soul of the lovers and the groom-to-be said softly to his sweetheart, take me just as I am," and she took him
 Tt is shown that the boy intended re- turning to the owner the raiInent that
 was to adorn him on the occasion of his romantic marriage. The prosecutor and the girls brother join in requesting a pardon. petition of good men earnestly begs for his release from imprisonment and the Board is of the opinion that the defendant should be immediately par doned. Let him return to his youthful bride. whose heart will overflow at the coming of her husband, so, Governor. let him go"
 The above is the official recommendation of the State Board of Pardons. signed by the Secretary of State the Auditor and the Attorney General in the application Of Tom Keith of Autauga County, serving sentence Of year and a day for grand larceny.
 State papers in the official records af Alabama outline many romances of hu- man interest, but no document of State in the old Capitol tells a story of more heart interest than does the pardon pa pers of the boy from the hills of Au- tauga who connived with his girl bride to surreptiously borrow her brothers clothes for a wedding suit.
 The story. as it is told by the papers has every element of interest, love, hu- mor and pathos. The love of the young people undaunted by difficulties, the hu- nor of the surreptitiously borrowed clothes, snatChed from the groom before his dream was realized, stands out in the story eloquently told in the recommends tion of the Board of Pardons.
 Pathos is supplied by the devoted mother who worked untiringly to ulti- mate success for the freedom of her boy, whom the law had torn from the arms or his bride. Tn the two months that he has been behind prison doors she has never wearied in her labor to have her boy restored to her and his bride.
 IL might well be said. as it was by the solicitor, that the case was the most TO-

mantle grand larceny case with which he ever dealt.
 That State document of more than pass ing interest was penned by J. Thomas Heflin. Alabama's young Secretary of State, who Is ever alive to the beauties of love, laughter and romance. The case of the Autauga boy and his unhappy young wife appealed strongly to the Sec "nt""v If State, whose own youth is not ears behind him.
 lterest that the Governor felt in lantic story of young Keith is n his endorsement of the pardon, as follows:
 boy plead guilty to grand larceny charged with stealing a suit of from the brother of his intended he boy said he took the clothes married in, intending to return he girl says that she got the lerself and that the accused really ling to do with the offense. Both )sitively that they intended to re- garments after the wedding cere- he prosecutor appeared before d of Pardohs and asked for the charge, saying that he was sure ties really intended only to bor- clothes in order that the bride ght make a proper appearance on ling morn.

HAD BEST STAY AWAY.
This Alleged Frenchman Not Want
 ed in Venezuela,

 Washington, July 15.-Advices have reached officials here from Caracas re- garding the arrest and Imprisonment there of a man named De Vialergo who after he was ordered to leave the coun- try. claimed he was a Frenchman and appealed tG the French Government for redress.
 The alleged Frenchman. it appears from these advices, was in reality d Venezue- Ian of French extraction. He was caught, it is claimed, with papers on his person showing he was in collision with the revolutionists and was thrown into prison.
 On his release he put in a claim of S, 900 damagaes on the ground that he was d Frenchman. President Castro replied that if he was a foreigner. Venezuela did not need him, and orders were issued banishing him from the country. The Venezuelan authorities say they will not pay his claim and he had best stay away from the country.
 Mail advices from Caracas state that the various commissions for the settle ment of the powers claims against Vene- zuelan are still sitting and the claims, it is added, "are growing like cOrn.'

Advertiser Bureau,


 The Court of Revenues of Dallas County today continued its sitting for the purpose of hearing citizens whose prop erty assessments had been changed. To- days work affected residents of West Dallas only.
 But tomorrow will come the tug of war, the real work; for tomorrow the citizens of the city" will appear to talk about the raising of assessments and to show cause why there should be no in crease in the amount of property they are alleged in the tax books to possess. It it not that the citizens of the city are more prone to undervalue their property or more loath to pay for the privilege of owning things, but 1t Is that out of the three hundred-to use round numbers citations that were issued out of the Pro- bate Court by Judge P. H. Pits and Chief Clerk John Chisholm about two hundred and fifty fell to the lot of those resident in what is nominated city district. It is probable it will require several days for the honorable Court of Revenues to finish the recipients of the citations.

J. H. Jones. prominent citizen of Cam den, was in Selma today circulating a pel tition to officials of the Louisville and Nashville Railway Company asking that they operate daily train between Selma and Camden. The petition was signed by large number of citizens and every eff fort will be made to have the officials grant the request.
 The railway company, in case it puts on the train, will of course. regulate the schedule. but 1t is desired that the train leave Camden early in the morning so as to reach Selma about 10. and on the return leave Selma in the afternoon and reach Camden in the evening"
 Such passenger service would be of the greatest benefit not only to Selma, but to the surrounding country.
