The birds weave 10 and fro and sing
The very songs | would declare
And now and then the branches swing
Stirred gently by a wandering air
The binders, clicking In the wheat,
The whistle OF a passing train,
The distant noises OF the street
Are to my song low refrain.
To-day, Today rest at ease
And pick the golden fruits that grow
In solitude on twigs OF peace
The fruits that only dreamers know.

WORST OF AL MOSQUITOES
Annoying Insects That lnfsss District
Of Maryland.


The champion mosquitoes OF the
world according to a traveller, are
those Of Taylor's island, on the Chop
tank river, Maryland. They are often
half an inch long and are perfectly
black, with white feet. They do not
sing and their bite is like the sting Of
q bee. People who are obliged to go
out OF doors wear az a protection a
hoop on their heads from which hangs
a netting. which is belted to the waist
They carry about them a piece OF fat
pork, which when applied to a sting
or bite acts as an antldote. The Chop
tank ,iver region is the great market
garden Of Baltimore. Philadelphia and
other Eastern cities. and one theory
to account for the remarkable size OF
the mosquitoes is that they feed on
the splendid fruits and vegetables
which grow so luxUriantly there and
are thus fattened to a far greater de.
gree than their brothers who live In
less favored localities.

WILKES BOOTH MYTH IS
 STILL FOOD FOR THOUGHT

"The interest in the Wilkes Booth myth seems to grow, instead of diminish" said local friend of The Age-Herald yesterday afternoon. Tn my early days l was associated with John Wilkes Booth, l was completing my apprenticeship as scenic painter, and was connected with the theatre as such in the stock com pany of which John Wilkes was leading man, and playing for the first season under his own name Up to that season he had always appeared as John Wilkes, his om-de-theatre. The new theatre in Montgomery was opened to the public October A. 1860 by the lessees, Crisp and Canning Che former the father of Char ley Crisp, late speaker of the United States congress), with a stock company composed of the best stock talent the country afforded at the time John Wilkes Booth was leading man, John w. Albaugh of Albaugh's Washington the- atre, juvenile or second leading man. A deputation of citizens came from Colum- bus to Montgomery early in December and persuaded Mat Canning, the active manager, to agree to visit Columbia and play an engagement of two weeks with the Montgomery stock company. MT. S-, whose apprentice was, and myself were sent in advance to paint some stock scenery necessary for several plays to be produced in that city during the engage ment agreed upon, among the number being "The Duchess of Malii" by MT. and Mrs. James Walleck. The company Sunday and were to open Monday night follow ing. Sunday afternoon MT. Canning and John Wilkes Booth were in the formers rpnms.at the Perry house in Columbus chatting when dispute as to the relative athletic ability of each came up, with the result that they began to wrestle. MT. Canning. being the stronger and more expert of the two, threw John Wilkes over on the bed In falling MT. Canning's pis tol fell out and in striking the floor the cap exploded and fired the pistol, the ball entering the back of John Wilkes just below the shoulder, conning out just above the hip. John Wilkes was unable to appear in his role and was succeeded as leading man by John W. Albaugh Booth left for the east as soon as his condition would warrant travelling.
 Some years ago when the rumor was started that Mr. Armstrong was John
 
 the story above related and told him he could satisfy his most intimate friends. who were very much of the opinion that he was in reality the celebrated charac- ter Booth, that the absence of the wound on the back would satisfy them if noth- ing else would, for be it known that some of Dr. Armstrongs most ardent friends, who knew Booth, thought he was in fact that individual. There are
 
 at Old Point Comfort when the news of Booths death was reported. and they will remember that it was then stated that ".

REPORT OF sUB-coMMIssIoN RE- CElVED SEALED AND AS VET HAS NOT BEEN oPENED-HARD JOB CLASSIFYING BOOKS.

Montgomery, June 15.-(Special.)-F Final action was not taken by the Alabama text book commission at the meeting to- day The commission received the re- port of the sub-commission but it was not opened. All the members of both commissions were present, and at an at- ternoon session the sub-commission hand ed in sealed report. The sub-commission was then relieved from present duty and they will not again be called upon unless the commission shall disagree upon the bids submitted for books upon some branches.
 The commission spent the afternoon classifying the books submitted by vari- ous publishers.
 There are fully one thousand volumes and it required all of the session for the work of classification. A member of the commission said tonight that it would re- quire at least one week for the compile ton of the work, and 1t may be that more time will be needed.
 The commission has agreed upon a re- cess for Thursday in order that they may go to Birmingham Wednesday night to attend the meeting of the state teachers. There are a couple of dozen book men here and they are plainly on the seat of the anxious
