While Friday was Birmingham day and 'the day on which the school children were given holiday, in order to at tend the fair the liveliest bunch of youngsters in Greater Birmingham wait ed until Saturday to stir up things at the fair grounds The crowd of young sters was nearly half q hundred strong and everything opened before them, for each was a carrier of The Age Herald. Each one also remembered that he was personal representative of the best paper in Alabama and proceeded to do the fair in first-class shape.
 They took in everything from the inspec- ton of the gate keepers as they entered the grounds, until every single exhibit amusement or any other attraction which was enclosed within the great white fence, had received their approval or disapproval.
 These youngsters were the guests of their own sheet and showed Their ap preciation by acting as only gentlemen should. Down on the Curve they made things hum, and the human sympathy which exists in the breasts of these future
 
 reached the Igorrotes' village. While the little fellows have studied in their geog- raphies and histories that savages in cer tain countries strut about in the open atmosphere with nothing between then, and the rays of the sun, they couldn't realize that such a thing could exist in the United States. Therefore, when they marched into the village of these Philip pine natives their eyes began to bulge Tho boys felt the chilly blasts snannins around their ears and instantly began to feel for the naked brown men.
 Off came coats and overcoats each boy anxious to cover up the little brown peo- ple's anatomes. But the Igorrotes thought the boys were crazy and went for their spears when the boys attempted to wrap the coats around them. After much persuasive argument the boys were made to understand that the dusky colored fel- lows were perfectly comfortable, and the savages were told that the boys meant no harm, but were endeavoring to help them
 Both species of human beings then be- came warm friends, and the Igorrotes of- Tered the carriers some nice broiled puppv steak. They had almost gotten up nerve enough to taste it when one little fellow happened to think of Fido at home and the tears came into his eyes. The others noticed his distress and asked what was the matter. He told them and the tears started in every pair of boyish eyes. The broiled puppy steak was dropped and tine village was left.
 Vain efforts were made to get Baldwin to take the crowd up in his airship. The boys insisted strenuously that ne allow them to do so, but Mir. Baldwin positively refused to consider the matter at all.
 Everything else was done in like style and towards the close of day the tired but happy bunch were bundled on to car and sent home. These little fellows crawl out of their beds at o'clock in the morning. long before the sun has lift ed his head, and deliver The Age-IIerald to it's patrons long before the breakfast hour of the earliest risers. The trip was well deserved by the gritty youngsters and The Age-Herald was glad to give it to them.
