Concerning Pistol Totlng.

bat Masterson, who was recommended
nv the President for position as United
States marshal is out with an interview
regarding pistol toting in New York.
said a man just after reading yesterday
mornings paper
bat should come to Birmingham II ne
really wants to find little jack-legs carry
ing big guns. The only difference about
the New York jack-legs who tote pistol
and those in Birmingham is that the lat
ter seem to know what to do with theirs
when they pull them.
Il have watched this pistol totlEg IN
birmingham, and | frankly believe that
It has decreased so per cent in the past
two years. Why this is l am unable to
say. but perhaps one direct cause was
the determination of Judge Feagin to
fine all pistol toters heavily when they
appeared in his court.
I'VE are becoming more civilized every
day. the town is getting to be less and
less a city of toughs and bad characters,
and the police department is becoming
more efficient. These facts tend to de-
crease crime. especially in the matter OF
pistol toting"

CrOp of 1904.

The ginners' final reports, including
estimates covering the remainder of
the season, make the crop grown last
year 13,597.7S2 bales of FIVE hundred
pounds each. No more accurate re.
port of the crop of last year will be
Forthcoming or is possible. The reports
do not relate to the commercial crop
of the cotton year. but to the crop
grown last year, some of which will
not be marketed during the present
cotton year.
Thirteen and half million bales is
rather too much for the worlds needs
except at low prices. A minimum OF
eleven million, and a maximum of
twelve million, bales seems to be
about what the world will take at re-
munerative prices.
Alabama made last year 1,458,960
bales, the biggest crop in her entire
agricultural caeer. When pushed to
it by good prices this state can make
million and half bales, If she can
have reasonable degree of support
on the psrt of the weather clerk. Geor-
gia, Mississippi ano Texas alone out
rank Alabama, and the gap between
Alabama and Mississippi is not very
wide, and it may yet be filed.
Farmers now know what last years
crop actually was. The figures are not
guess made in the Agricultural De-
partment, but they are the figures of
the ginners themselves, who alone
know what the outturn of the year
was. The count of the bales at the
gins is beforL the farmers, and they
know. or should know, what will pay
them best in the growing season now
close at hand.

Vulcan on Red Mountain.

Vulcan is coming home sadly en-
barrassed by debts. He may be god
of metals, but he has no coin in his
trousers pockets. In fact, he is sub
ject to seizure, and in his present
broken-up condition one creditor may
carry away a leg, another an arm
and third may have the audacity to
lug off the head of the immortal god.
He is to be unloaded on the top OF
Red mountain across which lies the
iron rails OF the Mineral Belt, but no
assurance is forthcoming that he will
soon get to Ills pedestal The truth
Is. Vulcan cannot honorably begin to
pose while he is so deeply in debt. He
owes, it is said, the man who cast
him, furnishing the raw material,
which was either gray forge or mot
tied iron. But gray forge Vulcan
out of debt is better than No. 2
foundry god in debt
It is all right to put Vulcan on Red
mountain, especially if he is to con-
tinue to owe $4,000. Men in debt do
1t push as a rule to the front, and
DDS are no doubt under like circum-
ances Of a retiring disposition. BY
means take him to Red mountain
to It's very top which is figuratively
,eaking among the clouds, but do not
him rust out there in debt. Let
m get onto his own respectable ped
stall. Let him be unveiled with great
ceremony, but first of all let him
either be paid out of debt or go into
voluntary bankruptcy.

Our system Of Street Names.

1t Is proposed to Break up Birming-
hams easy and convenient system of
street nomenclature by changing
Twentieth street to Main street. There
are more business places on Second
avenue than there are on Twentieth
street, and yet the latter is a COM
manding street. or rather it will be
when 1t is equipped with a viaduct or
tunnel at the railroad station.
But Twentieth streets prominence
Is not so great that 1t should lead to
rude intrusion upon the fixed and
convenient street names of this city.
II Twentieth street be entitled to a
distinguishing name, other streets will
take advantage OF the precedent, and
our streets will soon be muddle of
titles. The Board of Aldermen should
hesitate long time over the PROPOSE
tion-the longer the better. Our sys-
tenn OF street designation is the height
Of simplicity and ready comprehen.

revenue is light. This is the entering

Civic Pride in tennessee

Up in Tennessee ambitious towns
that are equipped with civic associa-
tions are making April / day when
all business PAGES are closed. But 1t
Is not exactly a holiday, for it is
Cleaning Day." and all the people
spend the day in cleaning up back
yards and alleys No one touches or
even looks at front yard or the street
itself, and the day is devoted to the
fragrant backyard and alley, both of
which on April need no little atten-
ton.
Cleaning Day" is day that fits
Alabama as snugly as it does Tonnes
see, and it will bear transplanting.
The back yard and alley in this town
have heretofore been left to the -mer
cies of the sanitary inspectors, but in
truth it Is reflection upon house
holder to have a sanitary inspector
issue an order relative to his back
yard and alley Cleaning Day would
put the sanitary inspectors out of bus
mess, even in the business district
itself. Let the custom followed In
tennessee become naturalized in Ala
bama and adopted in all our towns
both big and little. No town, how
ever big, can afford to have foul back
yards and alleys, and in the lesser
towns they are simply disgraceful.

There was a Chinaman who had three
dogs. When he came home one evening
he found them asleep on his couch of
teakwood and marble. He whipped them
and drove them forth.
THE next night when he came home
the dogs were lying on the floor. But

Sir Thomas Upton.

81 see that Sir Thomas Upton is coming
for another try after Americas cup" said
a man who is greatly interested In yacht
ing and l am certainly glad that he has
reached this decision.
"I was fortunate enough to be on the
Erin during one of the yacht races, and
never met a more agreeable man than Sir
Thomas.
"Today there is no where in the world
a straighter or more manly sportsman
than Sir Thomas, and although defeated
time after time, he has the spunk to come
hack again and make another trial.
although l am an American from head
to foot, l would like to see this great
Irishman take the cup back to his native
land with him. believe that 1t is truly
American to admire pluck and persever-
ence. and to hope that it receives 1t re-
ward. Well. hope that Sir Thomas will
receive his reward.
HE has shown more of the American
spirit than any sportsman from across
the waters have ever known and he has
spent large sums trying to capture that
cup which was won several years ago.
After each contest he has manfully ac-
knowledge his defeat, not on account of
any inefficiency of his crews or the hand
ling of his boat. but because the Ameri-
cans have built the faster boats.

thousands and hundreds of thousands of
Americans when l say that Sir Thomas is
always the most welcome guest that

USE OF BOTH HANDS.

Lecture by Sir James Sawyer.
We should form the habit of using each
of our hands in turn in our one-handed
activities. In a few months we might at
tain to fair ambidexterity in a few years
to the full use of each hand. For this
object the best exercise is writing with
the neglected hand. If a man learned to
write well with either hand almost all the
other unimanual graces would be added
unto him. There are many other uni
manual activities in which. by changing
the hand employed In them, we might cul-
tivate ambidexterity. as in carrying a
stick or umbrella, in fencing with a foil,
IN counting money, in changing our
watch pocket from side to side, In chang
ing the parting of our hair, in tn euse of
aespoon in taking soup, in domestic car
ties.

THE LOOMS TOUGH HIDE
Sometimes Saves His Hide-How the
Mother Cares for Young.

w. A. Linkletter in Forest and Stream.
The loon differs from other birds In a
number of ways. l have reason to think
that many people are unaware Of some,
at least of these peculiarities.
The loon has hide as tough as that
OF an OK, and It's feathers cannot be
plucked without first scalding the bird
as you would a hog. This incident will
give some idea of the tuoghness of the
blde. Aboue thlrty-fiye years ago, when
l was living in Michigan. a loon was
shot at with a shotgun industriously all
summer, without apparently doing him
any harm.
In the fall l killed him with rifle, just
to convince the people that a loon could
be shot and killed. He had many times
been shot at with rifle by the same peo-
pie who had used the shotgun, and they
had become convinced that he dove so
Quickly that he lodged the shot in that
way. 1 had seen them shoot at him a
number of times and | could see tho
splash of bullet or shot in the water
before the loon dived.
l ridiculed the idea of the lodging, ard
that led to my shooting him to support
my contention. When skinned the bird
/ found and counted over a hundred No.
shot sticking to the inside of the hide.
and so doing him no permanent harm. 1t
is remarkable that he was never hit in
the eye nor sustained broken wing.
Another thing peculiar to the loon is
that, after the chicks are Matched, IL the
mother wishes to move far she will make
a shallow dive and come up under her
babies and swim off with them on her
back. The person that succeeds in pho
tographing her underssuch conditions may
well claim the pennant.
Only once have I seen a loon shoulder
her young, although for over twanty
years I lived in the part of Mich'gna
where there was the best chance imagin-
able to watch looms. Now the timber has
been cut off around most OF the lakes, and
such favorable conditions for observation
no longer exist
Although | have only once seen loon
shoulder her babies. | have seen her
swimming with them ON her back many
times. Once one swan within twenty Tee.
of me and never suspected my presence.
One of their calls when sitting on the
water for volume beats that of any othor
bird or beast that L know Of I have
heard them I'm the night when they were
more than five miles distant. for they only
make that kind of call from the water.
and there was no lake in that direction
short of that distance. To say that the
loon Is a very interesting bird is as mild
as Lean express 1t.

Hawks are whistling. horns and knelling
Merrily, merrily mingle they,

Waken, lords and ladies gay,
The mist has left the mountain gray.
Springlets In the dawn are streaming,
Diamonds on the brake are cleaning,
And foresters have busy been
To track the buck in thicket green;
Now we come to chant our lay,
Waken, lords and ladies' gay.
Waken, lords and ladies gay
To the green wood haste away;
We can show you where he lies,
Fleet of foot and tall of size;
We can show you the marks he made
When gainst the oak his antlers fr,y-d:
You shall see him brought bay;
Waken, lords and ladies gay.
Louder. louder chant the lay,
Waken. lords and ladies CAV,
Tell them youth and mirth and glee
Run course as well as we:
