Jenkins's
Youths Companion.

Youths Companion.
The obvious point of Mr.. Wilbur d,
Nesbit's amusing dialogue, which is
taken from the St. Louis Republic, is
that you can drive a man to a con-
undrum, but you cannot make him
guess it. Mr.. Jenkins was oiling his
lawn-mower for its first trip. when
Mr.. Morse came along and leaned
over the fence,
That reminds me-" he said, "did
you ever hear that c%onundrum about
the lawn-mower?'
What's that?'' asked Jenkins,
sourly. "Who borrowed it last?'
mo. no. The n about what is
the difference between a little boy away
of by himself yelling for his ma and
a lawn-mOwer."
.'Why should he yell for his ma and
a l~awn-mOwer?"
"He didn't. Heyelled for his ma,
and the conundrum is, What is the
difference between him and a lawn
mower?"
THAT'S the cOnundrum, is it,"
''Yes. Did you ever hear it?"
mo, l never heard it,"
''It's pretty good, isn't it? What's
the difference between a little boy way
off by himself yelling for his ma and a
lawn-mower?:"
''You just said he wasn't yelling for
his ma and a lawn-mOwer"
He wasn't. He was yelling for his
ma, and so what is the difference"
81 suppose it makes no difference to
any one except him and his MAJ.
"You don't quite catch it. He was
away off all by himself yelling for his
ma and a lawn-mower, and"
"Did he want her to bring it?"
Bring WHAT"
'"The lawn-mOwer."
'He didn't want any lawn-mower.
He wanted his ma"
swell, did she cOme?''
THAT hasn't got anything to do
Win JIlc COuuuOFuu. IL ~
"What did you put it in forY"
II mean it doesn't make any differ
.ence whether his ma comes o r not.
The question is, What is the differ
ence between a little boy away of, all
alone by himself, yelling for his ma.
and a lawn"
why, you keep saying he didn't
yell for the lawn-mower."
''He didn't. He yelled for his ma,
and the"
''Oh, life's too short! can't UNDER
stand YOU"
And Jenkins began pushing his
lawn-mower about the yard, while
Morse hung over the fence. purple
with wrath, and finally shouted across
the yard:
. Zone is a lawn-mower and the other
is a lone ma-er; but hope you never
guess it, for of all the lunkheads 1
ever saw, you get the blue ribbon!"
But Jenkins merely smiled grimly
and kept on with his lone lawn
moving.

EARNED TO LOWEST BIDDER

Six general bills some of them of great importance to the State, were passed by the House yesterday---the most that have been passed at single session of the House devoted to gem era1 legislation since the Legislature was first organized.
 F There was comparatively little argu- ment on any of the measures, which Accounts for the number passed.
 The bill which provoked most dis eussion. and which is, perhaps, of most fpncern to the State-a at-large. is that rTS=s6;ns for an inspection Of the jails lHnd aimshouses of the State. Tn con l6itfons that exist in many of those in- 8titutions, which are said to 3e of so Appalling a nature as to have shocked 3he people of Alabama wherever they lave become known, were recounted on the floor of the House.
 "Just so long as the condition exists whereby the paupers are farmed out 10 the lowest bidder for their mainten- mnce.' declared Colonel John, discuss fng the subject. "just that long may the terrible results that can be witnessed now be expected, and the need of Thorough inspection remain.
 Under the present system, man desiring to keep the paupers is obliged tn order to get the contract. to bid just aB Sow as he can ngure 10 keep the destitute, and in order to make any profit at all from his contract, he is obliged to withhold from the poor un- fortunates the actual necessities of ilfe."
 Mir. Foster of Tuscaloosa, author Of
 bill, gave scathing arraignment < se manner in which the jaiis of the A were kept. and MT. John followed wlln incident after incident, showing the sti1l more terrible manner in which the paupers are cared for in the alms- houses.
 The bill. which passed with almost no opposition, provides for a State in- spector of jails and almshouses. with an office at the Capitol Building, who will draw a salary of s2.40O per annum with necessary travelling expenses. and is required to make periodical visits to the various institutions in every county. and report his findings to the newspapers, as we'll as to the Gov erfar. who appoints the inspector.
