The press throughout the state contain many tributes to Miss Howard Weeden, whose death the past week at her home in Huntsville caused sincere sorrow Miss Weeden, while depicting with such sim oerity and truth the olden time negro, that picturesque type that unhappily is passing, did not eNaggerate the pathos nor oVerdraw any characteristics in order to appeal more deeply to the readers of her ballads and the thousands of ad- mrers of her drawings. And in her dis tinctive art she has left q rich legacy to the world of literature and art
 Tn the death of Miss Howard Weeden," says a writer in the Mobile Item, Ala bama has lost one of her brightest and most siften women and her death is sin cerely regretted. She was well known in Mobile, where she visited her neice, Mrs. E. F. Adams. While she was the recip- ent of much social attention, and these new-made friends with the old extend sympathy to her family circles in this time of trial. A recent critic says of her book, Old Voices:'
 Miss Weeden has followed her pre- vious successes by volume that will sus- tain her reputation as a charming delinea- tor of the old-time negro in his relations to the white people before the war. In the poems of the old south she has caught with wonderful sympathy the atmosphere of those bygone days, fraught with song sadness :"
 "rhe death of Miss Weeden," says an- other writer, will cause regret through out the state, where she has been honored as one of it's most gifted daughter As an authoress and an artist she has gained an international reputation and her Shadows on the Walp and 'Bandanna Ballads illustrated by her own hand. are among the choicest gems of southern liter atIre, Besides Illustrating her own works Miss 'Weeden has done a great deal of Illustrating for other authors

 "W'y persecut'? Wy persecut'?" was the fervently uttered explanation. T per scout cause I loves gal with all her heart" And his open hands struck his breast with resounding whack.
 s.Well, you must stop it" saiI the judge.
 'I stop it wen I dam please" said the defendant.

 'I know my dam fate this day." was the answer.

He lost his right optic in a ring fight in New Orleans twelve years ago, and his owner had an artificial one inserted that lacks no detail of correct imitation even to the savage rim of red around the outside

He answers to the name of Don Caesar, but judging from his bloody record in the prize ring the manner in which he an- swers to his name when called by a stranger leaves a doubt in the minds of some that any ordinary thief would have the temerity to steal him.
