 Iudra Thomas

The case against o. E. Ament, Mont gomery manager of the Standard Oil Company. charging failure to comply with the recently-enacted oil tag tax law, was argued and submitted before Associate Justice William H. Thomas of the City Court of Montgomery yesterday after noon.
 The case was originally heard in the County Court of Montgomery County be- fore Judge J. B. Gaston, who sustained the idemurrors of the defendant, which contended that the law was unconstitu- tiOnal. on the ground of variance in the bill as passed by the Senate, and as it appears on the Senate and House jour nal

 The law provides for a test of oil fo purity and combustibility, a tag to ind, cate that the oil has been tested, a ta tax to reimbuse the State for this eA pense.

 The United States Grand Jury for the Middle District of Alabama yesterday af- ternoon made a partial report to Judge Jones. returning fifty-five indictments.

 Tyson was immediately arraigned in open court and entered q plea of guilty in the case charging the unlawful hold ing in involuntary servitude of VIII Brown, a negro.
 The complaint of Brown was that he was turned oyer to Tyson to work out a contracted debt. He was worked under guard and imprisoned in 8 stockade. He was finally released.
 In this case the court ordered the low est fine. $1,0O0. On payment of $15O on the fine,, the further execution of the sen- tence was indefinitely suspended.

THE COLD HEARTED.
BY. c. N. CREwDsoN.

tcopyright. 1904. by Daily Story Pub. H Col
 "Ah. you Americans! You coldheart- ted Americans! You are so practical, so indifferent, you are so nothing to sentiment. exclaimed Fraulein, throw ingsup her hands in mock despair.
 Fraulein and I were taking our tea in her little parlor in Munich. Her spirited outburst followed some cynical remarks of mine. Just for the sake of arousing seloquence, I had fallen into the bad habit of making light of love and mar riage. exalted the life of bachelor girl and put the pursuit of art above all domestic happiness.
 Rut Fraulein adored love and lovers. Though her brown hair was beginning to show a gravish tinge her heart was full of youths romantic exuberance. She was a creature of emotion. She did not waste her affections because she poured them forth from heart as inexhausti- hle as the ever-filling pitcher of the fable. She loved the whole world. the sunshine and "Bumi" her maltese cat. with usual extravangance.
 The expression of views so repugnant to Fraulein's nature as these of mine always brought down her condemnation upon me: but today she did not show her usual impatient ardor. After her first protest she looked for a moment into her cup as if seeing visions in the amber depths of her tea. Then she rose impulsively and brought from a table the photograph of beautiful girl.
 This is an American girl" she said, from New York. She Is wealthy and beautiful and gifted; but she also. like the rest of you American girls. has no sentiment-I might also say no heart.

 came to Munich with her mother, she came to see me. I saw her often that
 winter and we became friends. She was
 with all her American aloofness, so
 tactful and charming that one could not

 He was the sunniest. merriest. happiest boy I ever knew. For he was not much more than a boy, while she-as she told
 me later-was five years older than he

 T Saw how 1t was from the first: he was very much in love with her. He soon worshiped her. But-she was cold. The more the poor boy wore his very soul on his sleeve fir her. the more
