 Commenting on the new Alabama law for the protection of tie fish and game of the State, and on the appointment of Hon. John H. Wallace, Jr, as State Game and Fish Commissioner the Nash vile Banner of Saturday evening had the following to say:
 '9The State of Alabama is to be con- graduated upon the appointment or so estimabie a gentleman as John H. Wallace as State Game Warden. A law yer of ability, a high-toned gentleman, . lover and friend of all bird and ant- nlal life, the protection of the game of the state is in good hands. Mir. Wal lace has studied birds and animals all his life. and has been ever ready to do all in his power to protect them.
 Tt was this same John H. Wallace who went before the Legislature of Alabama on oIss occasion and read to the solons there assembled John Trot- wood Moore's poem on Emma samson. the game little woman who showed General Forrest the ford during hail. storm of bullets. The presentation of the case of this woman, who was then in a helpless condition, resulted in substantial appropriation in her behalf by the State of Alabama, and she was thus saved from want
 But recurring to the Alabama game laws. The Alabama game laws were patterned after those of Tennessee, but they are even better Happily Alaba- mas general game law Is not burdened down with bunch of local amend ments requested by the members of the Legislature. Such insistencies tend to emasculate the efficiency of general game law. farmer generally shoots squirrels and rabbits on his own place when he chooses anyway, so what Is the use In trying to put innumerable To- cal amendments to a general game law.
 Again the Alabama law goes further than Tennessee has gone In dividing the responsibility in stopping the ship ment of quail out of the State. Not only is 1t against the law down there to ship game out of the State. but it is against the law for the express com- panies to take it out of the State. This puts 1t up to the company to get busy. and look into few of those barrels of rabbits" that have been travelling over the country."

 Why She Bus'ed Loose.
 T jes' had to bus loose" said an old negro woman yesterday afternoon as with arms akimbo and body sway ing gently to the tempo of her conver- sational drawl she laughed the carless, indolent, melodious, infectious laugh 
 laugh. Her companion. evidently a close friend and kindred spirit had just asked her, Wat cher doin'?" and she had just answered, "Nuthin.
 Nav, ain't doin' nuthin' CT tall." she went on; T jes natcherly quit las Saddy. I was CT bendin' over de tub wid de studs and de foam shinin' on dat ole blue water and wuz CT rubbin' de close on de i'onin' boa'd jes' lak I bin doin' evvy day sence wuz big enough ter see over de rim CT de tub, and real suddint, lak CT ole gander er-honkin' in de night, hit seem lak I Je5' had ter bus loose. I couldn't stand de drag no longer. Widout meanin' to, I got ter studd'in how long I bin doin' dat same thing, en I jes' had ter git away from dem suds. Rub en rub, wash en wash. Ton an Ton. starch en starch, evvy day, evvy week. evvy year--Law, chile, I jes' felt lak de jooce uv life wuz CT spillin' somewares and me a rubbn' them ole close.
 ''Whut I gwine ter tell de white folks? I aint gwine to ter tell em nuthin'. I aint got no scuse en I don't want no scuse. jes had to bus loose. I'm gwine back nex' week, CT cose. but hit 1es' seem lak could n obdure dat strain no mo. Ain't you never felt dat way? White folks does, and dey sho' bus erloose when dey does. Dey calls 1t vacation, but hit aint nuthin' but bustin' erloose. Tse CT takin' uv my vacation"
 And with a chuekle that agitated every ounce of her Jovial corpulence she waddled her way slowly down the street.
 She had the spring fever-thats all: her imagination had not, perhaps fol- lowed the oft quoted revolution of the juvenile fancy, but 1t had at least drifted away from the studs.
