Prohibition in Alabama.

Montgomery, Ala - Unprecedented
scenes were enacted in the senate
chamber of the historical capitol of
Alabama Tuesday when the statutory
prohibition bill was passed. Women
and children thronged the corridors
and galleries and even invaded the
sanctity of the floor itself, pushing the
senators from their seats and giving
vent to their enthusiasm by shouts
and cheers that echoed and re-echoed
through the building. Senators who
opposed the bill were hissed down
when they arose to speak against
the measure.
The statutory prohibition bill which
was passed Tuesday was in the ma
ture Of a compromise between the
antis and the prohibitionists. The
ants. seeing the handwriting on the
wall. agreed to give up the fight pro
vided the time was extended until Jan
uary 1. 1909, when the sale of whisky
will be forbidden in the state of Ala
bama. This amendment will be sent
to the house and will be concurred in
without fight.
Governor Conner will approve the
bill. and 1t is understood that move
ment has already been started by the
state w. c. T. U. to make the signing
Of the bill a notable occasion.
Two carloads of Mobile women
came to this city to lobby against the
house prohibition bill, but found that
delegations who favor that measure
had filled the senate galleries until not
a seat was left 1t was a plan to
crowd them out and it succeeded. Lit
tie children stood in the lobbies and
npinned ribbons on everyone who came
IN. The scene was one of the most
spectacular in the history of the state
children were kept out of school all
Gay to work against liquor.

Woman suffrage.

It is rathes curious that none Of the
radical opponents of woman suffrage have
unearthed the most convincingly sincere
speech made in aid Of their view Of the
question, says the London Globe Twenty
years ago. when the first Government
bid for the enfranchisement Of women
was introduced in New Zealand, one Of the
Maori members spoke as follows;
Il will be a source OF trouble. think
we have only to look back to the trouble
that came upon Adam through his WIFE
giving him an apple. We should bear in
mind the evil that befell Samson when his
locks were shorn by Delilah also the
story of Naboths vineyard where a wo-
man incited a man to murder another in
order to obtain possession" And, referring
to modern times, the highly ingenious
speaker continued: IF ladies' were allow
ed seats. It would distract the attention
OF some honorable members. Although I
am getting on in years. must confess I
should be affected by a weakness Of that
sort. If only plain women were allowed
in this house. the source Of danger would
be removed; but II any beautiful ladies'
were sent. they would lead astray the
tender heants of some honorable gentle
men. particularly the elder members. In
conclusion, If attractive ladies are allowed
to come into the house. am quite certain
my own wife will never consent to my le-
turning here" We commend the speech 20

stock OF arguments needs replenishing.

Kissed ths Wronn Mnman.

Little Montgomery Sackett, the
bright nephew of Miss Julia Sander
son, is very fond Of his pretty aunt
and never loses an opportunity to dis.
play this affection. This led to
great deal OF embarrassment for the
youngster on a railroad journey re-
Gently.
The child accompanies his aunt Julia
on the road while she is playing in
cities near his home, and thus Monty
left Miss Sanderson's side to get a
drink of water at the other end OF the
car. AS he was returning the train
suddenly entered a tunnel, and he
hastily sought his aunt in the diuly
lighted car.
She sat in a deep shadow and the
child, in his confusion, climbed into the
seat just IN front Of her and tenderly
placed his arm around a young bride,
whose husband, strange to say. had
overlooked the opportunity afforded by
fthe tunnel to steal an extra caress
Nesting closer to the fair stranger,
Monty gave her a vigorous squeeze
and kissed her. she thinking it her
straying husband, responded heartily
and-iust then the. train ran out OF
fhe tunnel into the bright sunlight.
For a moment the boy looked dazed
and emharras rassed-then made dash
for Miss cSanderson.
''Wen, Monty" the actress asked
'ihow did you like your kiss?"
'Of course, Aunt Julia, it wasn't rs
good as yours" he replied. then, paus-
ing a moment, he continued, but II
was a mighty fine substitute"

A TABLE GARDEN

apparently growing in one bed. You may even
have lovers of the shade and lovers of the sun
growing side by side, for one end of the gar
den may be placed beneath a sheltering tree,
while the other end is exposed to the broad
sunshine.
If you live in the city where COW manure
can not easily be obtained or handled. use
pulverized sheep manure, which can be bought
of the florist. 1t comes in small or large pack
ages, and can be kept as long as required.
Around the outside edges of the boxes plant
dropping vines that will hang over and down
and drape the sides in beautiful festoons
Here are some that can be raised from the

THE trailing nasturtium. that riots and
L tumbles and blossoms all summer. which
will give wealth of foliage and flowers; the
oxalis, which has various colored and dainty
flowers and grows in dropping sprays from six
to nine inches long; the Asparagus Sprengeri,
with its plentiful spiky fronds four feet long
that fall to the ground like green cascade.
Early in the summer this is well covered with
small white blossoms that look like snow
fakes. The Wandering Jew is another useful
vine, and need only to be kept damp in order
to grow luxuriantly; and the ivy geranium
will also fall over the edge and help to cover
the box sides.
The rest of the plants may be what you like,
provided they are not too tall. You may have
ANIMALS, and perennials, and plant seeds, slips.
and bulbs as you would in a ground garden.
You may even have a bed of sweet peas of
the dwarf variety. that do not have to be
trained on frames or brush, but grow low and
bushy. Whatever your plants, however,

bed without disturbing the tender roots.
Before planting the nasturtium seeds, soak
them for little while in tepid water Place
your egg shells close together in a shallow box
or pan partially filled with sand or sawdust,
then fill the egg shells with finely pulverized
garden soil, and give each seed shell to itself.
For the first few days after transplanting
shade the little plants from the sun with an
improvised muslin awning lifted on stakes.
There is no reason why the table garden
should not be utilized for raising small vege-
tables. such as lettuce, radishes, cress, cucum-

finer than the table garden. where the plants
may be carefully tended and the delicious

For those who live in city apartments and
have not even the few feet of earth of back

for it can be established on the roof or even

THE French at one time pulled the hair and

ITO have a garden worthy of the name. you
must think and plan far ahead of the
actual work. You must decide just what
kind of garden you want. what flowers you will
raise, where each shall be planted, and when.
/ think no woman. however much of an
enthusiast, ever really enjoys the STOPPING,
leaning over and close contact with the damp
earth which is necessary in ordinary gardening.
But there is another way, and that is to lift
your garden up to yourself so that you can dig,
plant, weed and water it without leaning over.
The table garden in these respects will
prove a comfort and a delight. Its very
novelty will be one of its charms, and its
beauty will be the browning joy. Not the
least Of its advantages over the ground garden
is the fact that while it brings the plants
within easy reach of your hands, it also lifts
them to the sun.
Three strong wooden horses, such as are
used by carpenters, half dozen fiat sided
clothes props, and several large, low wooden
packing cases (dry goods boxes are SO called
in the West) form the framework of the
table garden.

Put the Garden any Place

CHOOSE an advantageous spot for your gar
- den You can put it anywhere you know.
for the ground does not have to be disturbed.
If possible, place it where it will get all the
morning sun. but not much of the fierce after
noon heat. If you can arrange it without
detriment to the plants. let it be by the side
of a drv walk; when no walk is available make
one of boards, SO that not even the usual wet
feet need mar your enjoyment.
First paint the wooden horses dark green.
then stand them firmly on the ground with
the two end ones about six feet apart, the
