ful. moral atmosphere; to give the child snirit tone and character for useful, happy and cheerful existence.
 .,The children of Birmingham are her priceless jewels-more valuable than all her furnaces and factories, her mills and her mines
 The women of Birmingham, through the kindergarten, are placing the educational ladder in the gutter, and may bring to light many a gem of purest ray that may adorn society with It's brillianey.
 .The kindergarten appeals to the childs nlav instincts, It's initiative tendencies, eelis into activity It's dormant capacities and makes 1t conscious of it's own capa- bjlities This awakening process kindles It's zeal. adds zest to its work, incites h. tellectual endeavor In physical training, transforms manual effort from drudgery into a labor of love, gladdens the heart and gives rational vent to and scope Tor the emotions of the soul. Thus moral value Is fixed and felt in the symmetrical development of the child's character.
 When the physical and psyehcal apti- tudes of the child for social life are neg
 
 full activities. its attitude toward social duties are not maintained, but the ener- gies of it's young nature lead into anti social ways. The child is so susceptible to suggestion for good or for evil that it's social environments should be guarded against every inhuenuce that tends to lead 1t astray. This the kindergarten does. Besides it offers the child oppor- tunities to express itself in various ways. to develop its powers, give vent to the pent-up energies in it's embryo form and to expand It's little soul into sound and sturdy salutary life.
 Every city and state has just the number of criminals it deserves. Its methods of social life merits all the ques- tlonable characters that infest 1t. A sin gle neglected child may become the head of a family, that fill by hundreds jails and dens of vice. A child cared for may be the greatest blessing to its country.

MRefnre Day ClubS. "

Since Saturday nights trouble it has
been learned that there are five "before
dav clubsp in Leon county, Florida.
While it is said these clubs were organ
ized last Christmas, there are a number
of nersons who will make affidavit to the
effect that these clubs have been known
in Leon county for the past three years.
It il stated in Talahasse that three years
ago a negro appeared in Richmond va.
(manv averring that he came direct from
Washington, d. O., who made all IN,
cendiary speech, advising members OF
his race to do all manner of mean things.
He advised the organization of the "be-
fore day club" This organization has
become national in its character. The
clubs in Leon county are located at Tai
lahassee, Lake Hall, Lake Jackson,
Dawkins Pond, and the Meridian neigh
borhood. Many of the best negroes OF
the county have refused to become mem
bers. and are not in sympathy with such
AN organization. 1t is firmly believed
in Tallahasse that Mr.. Epps was VIC
tim of this organization, and many peo-
ple in that section are nervous and ex-
cited. but there are a number OF men In
Leon county who are brave and deter
mined, and who are prepared to meet
and settle this issue squarely.

to cause confusion. Let us show you
one demonstrated on a small model bed.
This canopy is very reasonable in price
and should last life time, as it is made

The Yellow Peril,

The London Times, in an editorial on
the future of the far East, discusses the
question whether the triumph of the
Japanese in the pending war will turn
the yellow peril that has been talked
about so much into reality. 1t starts
with the proposition that the total over
throw of Russian power and influence in
Manchuria, Korea, and China is not i'm
probable, and asks what in twenty or
fifty years would be the result, partlcu-
larly for Europe and America. The idea
gains strength on the continent, 1t says,
that an awakening in China will take
place like the awakening in japan, and
that generation or two hence Europe
will stand face to face with a confederacy
able to put into the field five or SIX mil,
lion men as brave and well disciplined
as those now fighting under japanese
colors, but the Times doubts that there
can be such developmentin the tar East,
because it doubts if Chinese character
would lend itself to such transforma
ton as would be necessary in order tc
make this development possible. 1t says
the large majority of skilled observers,
men who knew China best, are utterly
skeptical on this point, failing to see
among the Chinese any sign OF spirit
that would regenerate their country by
assimilating and adapting the wisdom oi
other nations and using it honestly il
the service of the State.

A Protest from France.

The revolt of French feeling against
the hideous slaughter in Mancnuria is
the most striking feature of public opin-
ion at the present moment. 1t could
hardly find more vivid or accurate ex-
preston than in some remarks by NJ.
Cornely in the Paris Steele. He says
"The horror and reprobation with
which every civilized man is inspired by
the massacres in the far East are coun-
ter.baIanced by profound admiration for
the two adversaries. The japanese SOL
diers show ardor, animation and con-
tempt for death, traits that made our
own troops master Of the world. The
Russians, on the other hand, have lost
none Of that cool courage and extraor-
dinary endurance which formerly sue
ceeded in getting the better OF our I'M"
petuosity. Thus, we ought to salute
those who retire with the same respect
as those who advance. II is heartrend-
ing to think how precious is the blood
now being shed 50 prodigally. There is
none more generous in human veins.
There are none more brave than those
who are exterminating one another in
the far East, or rather who have been
obliged to do so in an excess of.criminal
insanity. Our friendship for Russia
forbids us to think of mediation, which
she has refused in advance, but every
one who believes in God must be horri'
fed at the thought of the responsibility
incurred by those who preside ovel
this butchery. Yet the Car is a be-

Confession of a Murderer.

James Callahan, negro sentenced to
hang for the killing Of another negro at
Washington, Pa, some time ago, has
confessed to another murder, committed
in 1895, at Pulaski City, Va, when
Callahan was only fourteen years old.
In his statement to the sheriff of the
county he says /: "The crime | com
mitted in Virgins was the murder OF a
man named Kerr, butcher in Pulaski
City. was only fourteen years old at
the time, and was led into it by an older
colored man named Sam Sanders, who
was about twenty-five at the time, and
who worked for Kerr at different times.
lie had been to me several times to aid
him in killing Kerr, pointing out that
we could get a lot of money. Flnally
he induced me to join him, and he got
two hickory axe handles. We went
down to Kerr's shop, saw that he was
still there, and then went out by the
church and lay in wait for him. We
waited for some time before Kerr came
along. Sanders saw him first and re-
marked. That is him now, and he has
a big bag of money Kerr came on up
the boardwalk, and as he passed |
felled him with blow on the back OF
the head with the axe-handle. Sanders
attempted to go through his pockets, but
some Que following Kerr up the board
walk scared US away. Kerr lived week
or more, and then died from the effects
of my blow. He had only Sl2 on him
when he was assaulted, and that was IN
his inside vest pocket. Sanders and
never left Pulaski City for two years
after this, and, so far as / know, we were
never suspected nor was any one ever ar
rested for the murder.

knew in the early days, and cannot for the life of him say for certain what they are. For four or five years after our homecoming to Maine we rode through the country soul-hungry for sights that we could not put into words. starving for nameless something that could not be spoken. Then, while we went far into the deep country roads. we came to an aged home with ample lawns and with lilacs and hollyhocks in front ot the wide door, and drove up the road to seek what we desired. And there it was back of the house, next to the sinks spout. and between the back door and the wide orchard-the garden of herbs growing with horseradish on one side and rhubarb on the other. Just what was in the garden of savory and medi- cinal plants we did not stop to take ac- count, but we saw tansy and Southern wood and catnip and burdock and several other favorites, and in among them, it's rampant leaves gray and dis tinguished from the rest. was an aged friend which our ancestors used to cul- tivate for giving an appetite to those who would not or could not eat. for binding onto fresh wounds to make them heel quickly and for conpound- pounding a liniment the like of which no doctor ever manufactured and no druggist ever put up. We are not in need of helminthagogue. but the sight of that clump of wormwood called up more memories O bygone times than the looks of old faces or the singing of old hymns or the drinking of old cider-
 In these effete modern days the French distill the kindly, but bitter herb wormwood and make therefrom a drink which they call absinthe- Because of that we do not approve of absinthe, though we still have a lik- ing for wormwood, not for its taste. but because it is an old friend, and because it does one good to look at it. In these
 sweet and sinless days which are dead forever, our ancestors were wont to take
 wormwood and to crush it into a tumb-
 Ter, and then pour old rum over the
 fragant twigs and leaves, and when
 the mixture was made, these same
 goodly men drank the infusion and
 were invigorated from the drinking.
 Now, if a man mingles rum with worIa-
 wood, or with anything else, he is sus- pected of a sinfulness and Is summed
 by most good people. No doubt, it was
 because of it's frequent partnership with
 rum that wormwood fell into disgrace and ceased to be cultivated. If So, we are sorry for those who pronounced the ban against most beautiful and most
 useful plant. which our grandparents honored and used in sickness and in health. and which persons of to-day have to travel far to fnd.- -Bangpr News.

 The trapper then remounts his horse, which is trained to do the stalk. ing of the quail, so that they will be kept moving on, but always in the di- rection of the trap. The horse is guid- ed to the spot where the quail, located by the dogs, are lying in the tall grass.
