FOUNDATION OF MONT
 HnMHpy TTRRAR


 The Huntsville Weekly Democrat has the following to say of Mrs Munger and the Montgomery Library:
 Montgomery has now $S000o build ing for her Carnegie Library. and ''wo- man is at the bottom of it." Mrs. A. H. Munger of St. Louis. formerly Mrs. Ben Fitzpatrick. started the ball arolling in 1895. and was the first president of the Association. This is of special interest to Huntsville people. as Mrs. Fitzpatrick was Miss Evie Shepherd, daughter of the late John Shepherd, who was a native o. Huntsville. so Montgomery is deeply indebted to Huntsville after all. The Shepherd boys of Huntsville possessed unusually bright intellects. were deep students and progressive thinkers. MT. Charles O. Shepherd of our city. though more than three score and ten limit in age. is still active, Intellectually and physically, and is numbered among Huntsville's and. indeed, the South's, most prominent educators. Huntsville Is proud to be the starting point of Mont- gomerys handsome public library"

The Waltz Of the Ostrich.

The dance OF the ostrich is one Of
those peculiar native customs which
certain fowls develop, without any APP
parent incentive except it may be the
law Of hercdity. 1t usually occurs at
early morning. when the young, strong
birds are let out Of their Enclosure, and
is said to be entirely due to awkward
ness and uncertainty. This leads them
to advance and turn in a derviSh-like
whirl which is very quaint and fantas-
tic. us they float about assisting their
motions by their outspread wings
They circle and reverse almost as a
waltZcr would. and when large num-
Der Of these strange birds 90 through
their dancing antics it is almost i'm
nosSihle to believe that they have not
been taught the accomplishment by a
dancing master. Their waltz often
ends in disaster. as they break each
others legs, which is certain death, or
become dizzy and fall down In a de-
moralized heap. The kick of an ostrich
has been known to destroy life.

! The groom was attired In con-

The same old story. Black
conventional black. Entire para
graphs are lit up with descriptions
of the color of the decorations, the
dresses of brides and bridesmaids,

line.
That's because at this and every
other wedding the groom Is q
"mele man."
For days and weeks there has
been talk of the brides trosseau,
the manner In which her hair shall
be dressed, lingerie, veil boquet
and all the etcetera. Who gives a
thought 10 the toilet of the groom?
His hair will be combed as he
combs 1t every day. The collar he
wears will be the same style put on
every morning. His trousers will
have the same old crease. A little
more expanse Of shirt bosom. No
color, mind you. A groom who
would dare to carry a boquet
would be incontinently mobbed.
He Is study In black and white.
Aside from his clothes all he Is
allowed to wear Is meek dispose.
ton and doubtful smile.
And thus he Is led like sheep
to the slaughter and as lamb be-
fore his shearers he Is dumb. No.
body pays any attention to him.
Everybody admlres the bride. 1t
Is necessary for the wedding that
he should be present. He Is a
supernumerary In that the show
cannot proceed without him. he
Is the cast but receives no applause.
Here's where many a benedict
has made his mistake. He has
been suppressed on the threshold
of his matrimo nial career. Why
