In the garden Of great man six
persons were sitting. scientific man.
merchant, poet, young man
very much in love-a lawyer and
lady. The wind was blowing rather
hard and six apples fell down. Each
took one. The scientific man took
his apple and discovered new law
of nature. The merchant sold his.
The poet ate his. The young man who
was very much in love gave his to his
sweetheart. The lawyer went to law
against the owner of the tree on ac-

lions, and as he was rich she had
lots of money all the rest of her life.

PAINTING the Schoolhouse.

The late Rev. Mr.. Wakefield was
an efficient member. of the prudential
school committee of the town of MARI.
bcro, Mass. At an annual town meet
ing the appropriations for the coming
year were the cause of some heated
discussions.
Mr. Wakefield advocated an appro-
priation for painting one of the
schoolhouses in the section near his
residence. The watchdog of the town
treasury strenuously objected that the
town could not afford it, and others
concurred in that view
This opposition aroused Mr.. Wake
field, and he exclaimed: "Mr.l Mod
orator, we can paint that building for
less money than it costs my friend
each year to paint his nose"
It was a home thrust; the appropri-
alton went through with a shout, and
in due time the schoolhouse was
painted red,

BIRMINGHAM ISN'T
 VERY WICKED TOWN Not as Good as Might be, But
 it Might be Worse
so SAYS REV. s. P. WEST
Civic League "Lone' on CiVics, and "Short" on Leaguing-Methodi Editor Favors Cunningham for
 Governor, Knox for Senator.

Birmingham is not as good town as 1t might be, but it might be a great deal worse than it is
 That's what the Rev. Samuel P. West, the assistant editor and bushes manager of the Alabama Christian Advocate, the organ of the Methodist Episcopal church in Alabama and western Florida, says of the town in which he lives.
 "We used to have here what they called Ia civic league began MT. West. as ile sat in his office yesterday afternoon on First avenue "It was formed to smite the sinful, to root out the vicious and to make the criminal pass Birmingham up as a pretty tough proposition The Civic league began with whoop. It ended in gasp. It's members were going to re- form the whole town from top to bot tom. Gods will was going to be done and Gods kingdom was going to come right here in this town, or the Civic league of Birmingham would know the reason why, 'The Civic league was going to make all saloons observe the Sunday excise law all the gaming rooms to close their doors: all inmates of questionable houses to shake the dust of Birmingham from their feet and the beggarman. burglar, murder and thief hie themselves to fresh fields and pastures new.
 Plan Mscarried
 "Somehow or other the Civic league s plan of reform misearried. The millennlal express failed to come in on schedule time. I have sneakng notion that it got sdetracked. And 1t got sidetracked for the reason that the men who set 1t going were al-ired long on whistle and ali-fred short on steam.
 The Civic league" continued Mir West twas mighty strong when it came to civies and mighty weak when 1t came to leagung. That shorteoming however ism peculiar to the Birmingham Civic league. It's common to all organizations of like purose.
 Birmingham Doing We'll.
 "In spite of the respectable demise of the Civic league, Birmingham has man. aged to worry along. From the moral point of view l think the town is now able to sit up and take nourishment We've got the name of being bad Bir- mingham We don't deserve to have 1t. The moral tone of this town is healthful The public conscience is sane and sensi- tive When convinced that things are in a bad way, when aroused on a moral issue,

 supreme court and Judge Emory Speer of the United States court in the class of 69 and many other brilliant and well known Georgians.
 MT. Dessau was about fl years old. He has been for years president of the Macon Bas association, where he was highly esteemed and beloved by his associates and many friends. He was a prominent member of the Bibb county Board of Ed ucation, chairman of the committee of lawyers appointed under resolution of the last legislature to investigate the advis- ability of introducing the Torrens system of land registration into Georgia, and chairman of the state board of examiners for admission to the bar upon which last his associates were Joseph A. Cronk of Savannah and Alex King of Atlanta.
 MT. Dessau was a public man in the truest and highest sense but not poli- tician. He took prominent part in state conventions and other gatherings of a public nature, but held no office, nor was he a candidate for any office. He was chairman of the state convention of 1896, at which time the increase from three to six justices was made in the state su- preme court, and no Georgian had worked harder than he to bring about this much needed reform.
 In the last state convention he was a delegate from Bibb county, and it was he who fought hardest for the passage of resolutions instructing the Georgia dele gation to St. Louis to vote first, last and all the time for Parker.
 In no act of his in these public gath erings has there ever been any thought of personal aggrandizement; he felt he owed a certain duty to his state. and he per formed it without expectation or desire for any other reward than the consciousness of a duty well done
