observations of Peggy

II surely is feather in the cap OF the
sunragists that a jury of women was
ltnpaneied in Chicago some little time
ago TO decide the advfsability of sepa-
rating destitute child from her equally
destitute mother. in order that she
should be sent TO the home of the city's
poor.
The mother and child were miserably
poor; the woman's husband was dead.
and they were literally starving and
almost naked. The jury of men pre-
viously impaneled confessed their ina
bility to decide the case hence the
judges action in calling for six women.
and the women decided not to separate
the two. although they were sent to the
poor house.
Yet in order to legslize the decision,
the men had to sign the verdict.
This, in my opinion, is a step forward
There are questions which women. by
reason of their training and experience,
are more fitted to pass upon than men.
and there is no reason why they should

WE OWE rHANKFULNESS.

To-day the churches throughout the land will
hold fitting services for the celebration of Thanks
giving Day. The origin of Thanksgiving Day is
lost in the msts of antiquity. Not only the Israel
ties, but the pagan nations of antiquity had their
harvest feasts to which our Thanksgiving Day
somewhat corresponds showing that it is natural
human instinct to return thanks to superior being
for the bounties of nature at this season.
1t is we'll that one day in the year should be set
apart wherein we may pause from our ordinary
concerns and take an inventory of our blessings
and render thanks to the Gver of all good things.
The normal state of man is hopefulness. AS long
as there is hope there is zest in life, and while that
remains there must be some room for thankfulness.
AS nation there is no dangerous cloud upon our
horizon and our skies spanned by the most
brilliant bow of promise. Those who able to
read the book of nature Understandings clearly
that the Western continent was formed for mans
highest civilization Asia was surely marked out
by the Architect of the universe the cradle of the
human race, Europe as its training school and
America as its field of complete development. We
are as yet only in the first stages of this evolution
but we making most gratifying progress, all
pessimists to the contrary notwithstanding.
By the help of the Supreme Goodness have
we have become nation too great to be imperied
by any danger that does not come from within
We owe thankfulness for the gift of intelligence
to people. It is that which gives us hope that
we may escape the fate of the dead empires of the
past. In many respects our present course is ON
inousy like that of decadent Rome-while there
were just as good citizens Rome in its worst days
as there in America to-day, yet the masses
ignorant and degraded. Here have universal
education. The whole people can see what is wrong
and will eventually amend the wrong.
We can be thankful, too, that the public
science is still keen There monstrous breaches
of trust and outrageous perversions Of the powers
of government, but there is still public opinion
that condemns and in time will suppress them.
We may be thankful that we may have future.
It is great thing to have glorious past The
Englishman who unfoids the shining scroll of Eng
lish history, with it's fourteen hundred years of
splendor: the Frenchman who recalls the long roll
of Gallo glories from Clovis to Victor Hugo, the
Spanard who looks back through centuries Of ro-
nance to the last stand of Roderick against the
ments of Venice, Genoa and Florence, are all for
tunate. We have some history of our own-saort,
but brilliant. Let others look back we can look
ahead.
This is day in which optimism should hold
'soveregn sway and masterdom.' Let the cro..ker
leave off his Jeremads for this day at least anc let
only the voice of gladness be heard in the land.

RENOVATING OLD SCREENS.
How They May lie Recovered ans
Made More Attractive

a simple ana inexpensive method of
renovating an old screen is to cover it
with heavy wall paper, either Il plain
paper OF damask or Satccn- like surface
or one showing a large floral pattern.
says the Iittsburg Press The tirSi
proceeding IS to measure Il fold of the
screen with great accuracy and then
with very sharp scissors to cut the
tapcr to tit exactly inside the sur
rounding frame, which incloscs the
cloth of the previous covering.
Have in readiness some thin glue.
and with this quickly brush over the
edges OF your paper. An inch or two Is
sufficient. If too much glue is applied
1t will cause the paper to cookie. Ap-
ply the strip deftly to the screen, and
with soft, clean cloth press it firmly
into contact. Proceed in like manner
with each fold, laying the screen flat
upon Il large table for greater ease in
working.
Sometimes the edges do not require
any kind of finish, but when this
seems desirable a narrow border of
gold Japanese leather paper or round
brass headed nails serves the purpose
admirably. 1t is quite easy to obtain Il
richer effect by employing one of the
beautiful Japanese leather papers
which are now to be had in all sorts Of
different designs and at almost amy
price. These are applied in exactly the
same manner.

CLEMENCY FOR YOUNG
SENTENCE or MOBILE CONVICT
 IS COMMITTED.
Young Man Who Forged Name of His Empioyer-Conecuh County Pris. oner Is Granted . Parole by
 Governor.

The sentence of E. ". Young, a young white man of Mobile, convicted or forgery in the second degree, was yesterday commuted by Governor Cum ningham from two years in prison to one year and eight months.
 Young forged the name of his em- pioyer E. P. Smith. to two checks on A Mobile bank. Tn the City Court of Mo bile at the July term last year the young man pleaded guilty. He is now serving out his sentence at the Vinegar Bend Convict Camp
 MT Smith, the injured party. has written Governor Cunningham in be- half of Young saying that the young man prior to this offense bore an excel lent character and the crime was the result of drunken spree.
 In committing the sentence of Young the Governor said:
 This applicant for executive elem ency was convicted in July 1903 of forgery in the second degree and was sentenced to the penitentiary for two years. Prior to his conviction he had elected to perform hard labor The trial judge. the solicitor and the board or pardons recommend that the sen- tence be commuted four months. which was the time served by the applicant at hard labor prior to conviction.
 Therefore let sentence be commuted to one year and eight months and also allowance for good conduct"
 Governor Cunningham granted a pa- role to A. c. Feagin. a negro of Con- ecuh county.
 The case is explained by Governor Cunningham in his endorsement on the application. On Feagin's papers the Governor wrote:
 This applicant was convicted in october. 1903, and was sentenced to one year and a day. It appears that ne stole cow and sold the COW in an- other county. For the sale of the cow he was convicted of obtaining money under false pretenses and sentenced to hard labor for the county for 234 days sentence and costs. He was thcn in- dicted and convicted for the larceny This mans short term would have ex pired August 23. 1904. but under Sec ton 646O short time Is now allowed conVicts who have been previously convicted The Board of Pardons rec ommends executive clemency. Thera Tore let parole Issue conditioned upon good conduct"
