DRIFTWO0D
BY PHIL H. ARMSTRONG.

Its more pleasant to see a woman carl her hair than her lip. Though 1t is just possible that she might be a hair-lip.
 Its a long neck that .has no turning when pretty form passes down the street on a rainy day. Husband and wife may travel for a fare and half in Norway. Which Is the half? Must be the man, as usual. We never do what we are told to do unless it's the boss who tells us.

 These Whfsflfne Fellers. These whistlfng feliers I like to hear On a dreary morning a drawin' near. With their hands in their pockets they The street with thAll that seems to
 drown Every .pessimistic sigh. With their merry pucker they seem Who's whistiin away sweet wee melody Oh these whistlin' feliers are hard to When .l1sst they come whIstlin, down the These whistlin' fellers are hard to beat.

 Days. Like These. It's days like these. One likes to think Of shady tTs s And buzzing bees And sprtngtime breeze On days like these. Of cattle wading to their knees Days like these. Apple blossoms fluttering down In cool green orchards Far from town Laughing brooks that twirl and quivef Running on to meet the river. Boys and girls that romp and shout Trying to turn life wrongside out Dogs that bark so joyously Blue birds sing from the tree. Hearts grown young and beating old man thinks he is a child.
  Of the spring where you would drink When a laughing country. boy With your heart brim full O joy? Its days like these One like to think Of shady trees And buzzing bees And springtime breeze On days like these Of cattle wading to their knees Days like these.

SETTLING IT.

The Appellate Court of New York has settled highly important ques- tion of Sunday observance. Under what is known as the Raines law a thirsty citizen could only get a drink on Sunday at hotel or restaurant by buying something te dat. like a sand wich or something of the kind. But naturally there were differences of opinion as to how much or how little food is required to qualify one to also get a drink. A case was carried into the courts and here Is the gist of the opinion rendered;
 To justify the proprietor of a hotel in furnishing to transient guest li- quor upon Sunday, the situation must be sucn as to indicate to person of or dnary intelligence that the guest had resorted to the establishment to ob- tain, in good faith, a meal, and that the liquor he ordered has an incident to the meal; not that the object was to obtain liquor, ordering some article of food which was not consumed to ac- complIsh that purpose.
 Now, that may not be exactly as clear as mud, but 1t helps. If we get the meaning of it exactly. the would be thinker cannot buy a drink with a sandwich attached on Sunday, but he may buy a sandwich and have a drink attached. There's quite a difference, if one can but see it. The weak point in the decision. as We see it. is that the learned judge fails to tell us what 1t takes to constitute "a meal' in the eye of the law. A cracker with big drink might be-a meal for a thirsty man, and a very large sandwich with a small drink would be a meal for the

It may be little fogy in us but the
 great ado that Is made over the inau-
 gurai balls at Montgomery makes us
 us that they cant inaugurate a Gov. ernor without all the nonsense and
 tomfoolery of those things. As 1t is
 the ball takes precedence over nearly everything else and does away with the dignity of the occasion by turning the whole thing into a social function. Then. too. the ordinary little fellow, who does not possess full dress suit can't get on the band wagon at the grandt?) ball We wish they would cut the ball out and If a few of. Mont gonerys social set wants to prance do so, but 1on't hitch 1t on to the Gov. ernor's inauguration for it ought not to be part nor parcel of it.
 The above Is from The syllacauga Advance. and shows a remarkable mis- understanding of what 1t comments on. The inaugural parade could be cut out and no violence happen to the laws and Consultation. It is right and proper, however, for the people to assemble when a new Governor assumes the du- Is a social courtesy extended to the new Governor. his family. friends and the public. It is incumbent on no one to go and as a matter of fact has no act i've connection with the inauguration proper. Those who come to Montgonl- cry to see the Inauguration can go home before night and yet have seen the great display and heard the inau- gural address Those who remain over can go to the inauguration ball if they want to or remain away as to them seems proper. As a matter of fact 1t is more of reception at which the Governor can meet and shake hands with the people. The dancing part is a small part of the affair. If the ed- itor of The Advance could have looked upon the splendid crowd of Alabama men and women assembled at the au- ditorium last Monday night to do hon. or to Alabama's Governor. we believe he. would revise the opinion above ex- pressed.

IN Isn't 1t singular how a change of one letter will alter the meaning of sent ence or It's title? In A recent head line noticed in one of our contempora- ries we read: Tt takes skill to shake Roosevelt" Now. there is so much said about the Presidents nerve and firm ness that one reading that heading would naturally infer that the writer intended to go on and explain what a dicuifit job it Is to shake him loose from any position he takes However when we read the article itself we found it speaking altogether of the Roosevelt habit when in a barber's chair. what the headliner wanted to say was that 1t takes skill to shave Roosevelt. The two propositions are quite different, but there was nothing but one wrong letter.

The latest great man to cash In was the Rajah of Goa. Look on the map of Hindustan. or some other portion of India and you will probably find Goa; If not you will not lose much. but 1t Is somewhere in that region. We were not acquainted with the late la mented. and don't know much about him. In fact. we are rather short on the Rajah business. We suppose Goa mourns, but not as one without hope, for there are doubtless other Goans to take the place of the dear departed.

Here is an octopus adventure. The crew of the Peria, a fishing boat hail. MaIo and Mont St. Michael, were about to pull in a big net. when they en- countered sudden resistance. The net was simply crammed, not however, with good mackerel, but vast numbers of octopi. each provided with tentacles more than six feet in length, The slimy wretches swarmed up one side of the craft. giving the fishers a frightful experience. The men had at last to cut the rope of the net, sacrificing it alto gether and then to free the side of the boat from the ortopi which stuck to it.
