GOES HOMETOWN AND BROKEN
 HEARTED
Ada Beaumont, Fatally injured, Returns to Home of Parents -0ld Companions Defray Expenses of Journey,

Those persons who were present at the railroad depot on Monday even ing, when the train for the east was ready to leave and saw a young wo- man with her face swathed in ban dages led from a carriage to one of the coaches. probably thought little more of the matter than that it was some invalid going away for treat ment. AS a matter of fact, the young woman probably once the pride of a refined and wellto-do family, was go- ing to the home of her parents after a checkered career and bore with her the decision of the surgeons that her chances Tor recovery from injuries sustained while intoxicated were very slight.
 Ada Beaumont, the name by which she was known here, according to most reliable information, came from one of the finest families of Lexing- ton. Kentucky, and bore evidences of refinement and the best of training. There Is no doubt that the circum- stances surrounding her fall from the station in life of pampered child are very much the same as those sur rounding the downfall of other wo- men.
 Some few weeks ago she ordered al horse from one of the livery stables and stopped at some of the saloons, where she indulged in several drinks with men whom she knew, and then started for her home in the .Redlight district, needless of the fact that she was riding a spirited anmal. The horse finally maddened by continued spurring, threw the rider heavily to the ground, breaking her lower jaw In three places, the upper in one place and rendering her unconscious
 The physicians did everything pos sible, keeping her alive, with the hope that an operation might finally be done with some chance for success, but after several weeks their decision was that the chances were indeed slight.
 Without money. more than a thous- and miles from relatives. and know ing that she would be disfigured for life even if she lived. this woman thought of her childhood home. and longed for the care of loving moth CT. Fallen though they are, and i'm bued with coldness of heart that would prompt them to lead any man to his ruin to gratify their vanity, wo- men of the Redlight district, becom- ing aware of the pitiable plight of Ada Beaumont, and of her desire to return to the guardianship of her mother. gave generously to a collec- ton to defray her expenses.
 Contemplating meeting heart broken parent the stricken woman directed the destroying of every trim ket or piece of wearing apparel which might give to the mother an inkling of the life her wayward daughter has lead. Having done this she told her friends she was ready for her journey home. and was placed or board the train.
 In view of the decision of the sl-s geons there is little doubt that Ada Beaumont's life is nearing it's end, and like all human beings she will soon be forgotten, but the open-heart- ed generosity of those women who did all in their power tn save the young woman's mother as much pain as possible. will no doubt in the times of their own diversity. afford them a recollection of a good deed performed.

BUILDING NEARING COMPLETION

The Johnson-Henniger building on Main street which. when finished will be probably the finest office structure in the city, is fast nearing completion. All of the masonry work, with the ex- ception of the trimmings, Is completed and the carpenters and plastereTs are already at work laying the floors and fixing up the interior. On the main floor there will be four store rooms, and there will be three floors of com modious office rooms. The Fair Store proprietors are also making headway on their annex located on the Costello property, next door to the Johnson-Henniger building.

Bisbee daily review., 1907-08-28

All of which is mindful that there is a poor devil of a Mexican down around the Buckeye country who is surely playing in hard luck. His mistake was in informing the Mexican authorities about that place that he had seen Yaquis. He did it purely as a patriotic duty, and, per haps with view to self-preseryation
 When he told the comisario that he had seen Yaquis that official devel- oped the Missouri idea and requested that he and his brave subordinates be shown If they could but see those Yaquis what they would do to them would be enough to merit a star from President Diaz. The Mexican led them to where he had actually seen the Yaquis. He fulfilled in every way the obligation he had volunteered. He did not guarantee the comisario the Yaquis would not ambush the party.
 But anyway tn party was ambushed. One Mexican was shot through the leg and so hurried was the departure of the gallant comisario and his party that they did not take any of their horses with them. These the Indians captured, and, as they were mounted, cut their throats.
 The comisario was naturally lit- tie put out at the failure of his expe- dition and he felt that he must make some sort of a showing. What did he do? Nothing but arrest the Mexi- can who had told him, at his request, where the Yaquis were. The fellow was thrown in jail and is still being held there on the charge of leading pnsSa into an hrGh

GOSSIP ABOUT
 YAQU|S AND OTHERS
'0bSepant Citizen" in Doug las International =
 American.

It's national joke,' said the Mex jean mining man. how the govern ment down below handles the Yaqui Indian. A var or so ago we had great many Yaquis working for us. They are by all odds the best class of native labor that can be pi0Cl.ned in Mexico. They were q peae cable lot of fellows, did excellent work and we had no fault to find with them. I was down in that country recently and I missed those Yaquis.
 Whats become of the Indians we had I asked.
 'Yucatan,' I was told. 'Gobbled up by the authorities and sent to the salt mines. Poor deyilsb
 And the bad Indians?' I asked.
 :" Oh. they're still out in the hills picking of a Mexican now and then and raiding a camp eommissary once and while. They haven't been both- cred
 And that's the way it goes. The poor fellows who are good workmen and are peaceable are sent to Yuca- tan just because they have Indian blood in them, while the bad Indian on the hills is to all intents and pur- poses unmolested because he is better fighter than the men usually pitted against him."

FOR EDUCATION,
(Talladega Mountain Home.]


Unfortunately most OF the meetings that
are held for educational purposes are, for
the most part, composed of men who
speak almost wholly from theory and not
actual observation and knowledge of the
rural schools, and do not, cannot, know
the true conditions that exist. The man
who knows the most about them is he who
lives and works among their patrons, and,
as rule, he does not stand very high in
the educational world, and has to do his
work with what is given him; make bricks,
straw or no straw, as it were. The Home
wants to see the educational interests Of
our State advance with rapid strides, We
want to see our colleges and university
grow in size and usefulness, but far greater
is our desire to see the white boys and
girls OF Alabama whose young lives are
spent in drudgery and toll given an OPP
portunity to receive an education. Among
the intelligent the educational interests
thrive, but in the hills and backwoods,
mills and mines, where generations have
grown up in ignorance, the light that is in
the books for our own children has scarcely
penetrated. And it must be taken to them
j they would behold it and be led to d life
that 10 worth while.

New Orleans Item: The community
whose people get together, whose citizens
feel an interest in its general welfare and

Drinking Fountain for HopkinsvIIIe, Ky.
From the Confederate Veteran. !


It is reported that on the spot where
Colonel Thomas G. Woodward, commander
of Woodward Battalion, Lieutenant
Colonel of the First Kentucky and then
Colonel of Second Kentucky Cavalry, fell,
pierced by four bullets fired by hidden
foe, the Christian County Chapter, U. D.
c., have undertaken to erect handsome
drinking fountain. In 1854 Colonel Wood
ward was killed from his horse at the in
tersection of Main and Ninth Streets. The
city at that time was occupied by Federal
troops Colonel Woodward had galloped
into town from the south at the head Of a
small force. He was followed by only one
man, but rode slowly down Main Street,
pistol in hand. When he reached Ninth
(then Nashville) Street, a command to
halt came from the upper window of a
store near by. Colonel Woodward raised
his pistol in the direction Of tbs voice.
Instantly several shots were fired. One
killed s-is horse and four bullets entered
his own body. He did not regain con-
seriousness after being shot, and died in a
few moments after being removed to a
hetsi. His men, seeing from distance
their leaders fate, fired a velley down
Main Street and rode at full speed out of
town:

rate organizations. He was New Eng
lander by birth (born in Vermont), grad
uate of West Point, and an accomplished
scholar. He went to Christian County in
1847, and taught school until the war, when
he was enc Of the first men in the county
to join the Southern army, He is descFihea
as a cunning strategist and cool, delib-
crate fighter. One of his most notable
exploits was the capture, at GAINESVILLE,
Tenn, of Colonel Mason's superior COM
mand of Union troops encamped on the
college grounds. During the night Col.
Woodward, having fewer than half the
number of men. under the Federal eefH.
mander, planted battery of logs painted
black and mounted on wheels to look like
canAea, and disposed of his men SO as to
deceive the enemy into believing he was
outnumbered. A stern demand for unz
conditional surrender met with prompt
compliance on the part Of Colonel Mason.
When the Union officer learned Of the ruse
and later saw the dimutive, uncouth figure
Of his captor, his sense of humor mastered
his rage. and between bursts Of laughter
he beggen the little Cotenei for a phetQ-
graph, saying: 81 want to send 1T up
North to my friends to let them see what
an insignificant cuss | surrendered to. .
Colonel Woodward generously acceded to
the request, and the picture accompanying
this dispatch is said to be copy of the
one he gave Colonel Mason.

The John Brown Controversy.
Baltimore Sum-

lNessrs. Editors. In these days of pill
grimage to the shrine of that Northern
saint, John Brown, and of euiogies over
his patriotic efforts to incite the slaves to
murder, arson and outrage, this incident
may be of interest to your readers. After
the war Captain r. B. Winder studied
dentistry and at the Philadelphia Centen-
NAL was in company with some Northern
dentists, one of whom, pointing to stat
ute, said:
"Winder, this is our great Charles Sums
ner. What do you think of him?"
Turning to another statute, Captain
Winder replied:
'This is our great John Brown. What
do you think of him?'
"Why." exclaimed the Northerner, 81
did not know the South claimed John
Brown"
"Well,'' said Captain Winder, ''as we
took him and hanged him he ought to be-
long to u.s.
And, according to DR.. Wells, the South,
after having all the brutalities of war
heaped upon it, after having been far
worse plundered and having had every
degradation heaped upon them by the
carpet baggers, the scallawags and the
negroes, until they became strong enough
to drive those thieves out of the South, has
been forgiven. Could we have a more
striking example of Christian piety than a
brutal robber forgiving his victim? And
the young men of the old South, SO proud
of its record, who were too young to wear
the gray, should forget all the above and
Sherman's infamous march and how Grant,
saint second only to John Brown, COM
PEELED by his reiterated orders the brutality
which Hunter and Sheridan as soldiers had
to carry out, the odium of which they have
had to shoulder as well as the fact that
Grant kept the South under negro rule
with the Yankee bayonet as long as he was
President, his last act being the driving
out the white Louisianians! And the loyal
young OF the old South should forget in
one generation when, according to the
Bible, the Lord does not forget or forgive
until 1.-THE third and fourth generations ~
Where should q controversy take place

The similarity of the versifcation shows

Burns versatility is trait not generally
understood or credited among those desul-
tory readers who know him chiefly by his
work in dialect, yet he was vesatile-ex-
ceedingly SO, and capable of strong, sterling
English. His poem, "a Winter Night,
is a good instance of this. Take for ex-
ample the stansa!
''See stern oppression iron grip,
Or mad ambitions CORY hand
Sending like blood hounds from the slip,
Woe, want and murder DER a land
It is also in this poem that occurs the
line, t'Afection's sons are brothers in dis
tress." This is frequently credited to
Moore.
It requires but very cursory examina-
ton Of Burns work to substantiate the
assertion that he is the most quotable, to
coin handy word, of all the English
poets. His epigrams, his unerring shots at
folly as she flies and his haunting phrases
are always on our tongues end and furnish
metaphors for nearly every phase OF llfe
His poem, "Man Was Made to Mourn" is
comparatively little known, yet it contains
three passages that are familiar friends
one particularly SO. They are these:
30 man! while in thy early years,
How prodisal Of time!
"Man's inhumanity to man
Makes countless thousands mourn!
80 Death! The poor mans dearest friend'
1t is in postical epistle to J. Lapraik,
an amiable gentleman, thus embaled and
handed down to posterity like mosquito
in amber, that Burns writes
"-the honest man,
TITS he fulils great Natures plan,
And none but he.''
This is quite familiar. Here is stanza,
less we'll known, but unquestionably fine
and highly characteristic:
"Who made the heart, tits He alone,
Decidedly can try us,
He knows each chord-its various tone,
Each spring-its every bias"
In the ''Cotter's Saturday Night" are q
number Of lines that have been in steady
service, SO to speak, almost ever since they
were written The more notable are as
follows:
"And mind your duty, morning, noon and night,
Lest in temptations path ye gang astray,
Implore His counsel and assisting might,
They never sought in vain that sought the Lord
Alright"
"Princes and lords are but the breath of kings
The following are few more often auot=
ed passages of Burns, culled at random
from hundreds:
IA chiefs amang We taking notes and, faith he'll

pleasures are like peoples spread,
You seize the low'r, the bloom is she'd"
"What tho on homely fare we dine,
