A Wise Bird

Old sportsmen are never tired of narrating
their famous deeds.
"Once / was out hunting with good friend,
but poor marksman. Suddenly three rab-
bits appeared, l put up my gun, aimed once
and fired. Aimed again and fired"
"And what about the third?" asked the
listener
no time to load again, but aimed and drew
the trigger-clickl Nothing came out of it,
of course, but the rabbit fell all the same.
He was dead" What killed him."
"He died from fear" said the hunter, calmly.
He had seen me take aim!'

the great city shrink to nothing, and to hear
no sounds from the earth as the balloon
reaches the upper air. Wonderful also to
rise above the clouds until they assume the
look OF ranges of mountains, and the cold
increase to render the mountain illusion more
perfect, and then to return to the Busy world
to find oneself up in the clouds" no longer.

A plant has been discovered in Nicaragua
which appears to be charged with electricity.

JUVENILE COURT ACT
SUCH A MEASURE WILL BE URGED
ron ALABAMA


A bill has been prepared BY Dr. ~ ?.
Hausman of Montgomery, looking TO
the establishment in Alabama OF
Juvenile Court law. 1t will be submit
ted to the next Legislature.
OF late years this important branch
of legislation has received the thought
full consideration of Legislatures an
over the country and within the last
fifteen years something like thirty
states have adopted the necessary
measures providing for the delinquent
dependent and neglected children. Inc
bill that has been prpared for intro
duction in this State. embodies the pro-
visions of the various states as far as
they apply to Alabama, and It Is UNI
derstood that a systematic campaign
will be made to insure the passage OF
the measure.
The BILL after defining the terms de-
linquent. dependent and neglected chill
dren. provides that the Probate Courts
of the several counties shall have 5uris-
diction. The subsequent sections have
reference to the method of procedure.
the appointment of probation officers.

dren.. transfer of cases from justice and
police magistrates, children not to be
committed to Jail. legal adoption.
county board of visitors, and such 9TH
er provisions as will insure the best
results to children and to society.
The 14th section of the bill provides
that this act shall be literally consid-
cred to the end that its passage may
be carried out; that the care, custody
and discipline of the children shall
approximate, as nearly as may be,
that which should be given by their
parents. and in all cases where 1t can
properly be done the child is to be
placed in an approved family home and
become member of that family by le-
gal adoption or otherwise.
The various women's clubs OF Mont
gomery will be asked to lend their in
fluence in aiding In the passage of the
bill. 1t was through this source that
the measure had its inception in Ala
bama, and 1t Is believed that when the
law shall have become enacted ii will
be the browning glory of the many
good works accomplished by these
organizations.

That the storm which has been raw
aging the Southern States during the
last few days will have a most damag-
ing effect upon the quality of the pro-
duct is the general opinion expressed
by cotton brokers in Montgomery. 4
owing to the advanced stage OF the
crop, Ii is not thought likely the guam
tity will be lessened to any consider
able extent, but the quality will doubt
less be much poorer than the normal
yield.
Cotton brokers of the city yesterday
made many attempts to get in touch
with their different agencies through
the state, but were hampered to
great extent by difficulty with tele-
graph and telephone wires. close
estimate of the amount OF damage
which the growers of the state nave
suffered, was, therefore. imposslpie.
but approximately, it was not thought
that the amount of the yield would be
greatly affected as might have been
expected.
