COURSONHURT IN EFFORT
 TO CATCH NEGRO SUSPECT

residing in Birmingham out of bed. special train was made up and they left the city for Smythe shortly after 1 o'clock. physician also went out on the train to attend to MT. Courson's injuries
 It is believed that the negro whom the deputies had cornered was the murderer of Motorman Watkins, judging from his actions His resistance was evidently furious, and this, with his diabolicai at tempt on the life of Deputy Courson would indicate his guilt

Prof. Charles zuebln of the University of
 Chicago in Leslie's Weekly.
 We must correlate saving and spending. We must learn to spend and educate our selves as we go along. The workman who works hard six days in the week doesn't know how to enjoy himself. The half hol iday each week is educating the work man to a higher standard of living. Thrift leads often to life that is not admirable. The conditions of the early dwellers in New England made the splendid qualities of. Puritanism, but they also created quail ities which were a menace to society, and the Puritan conscience was one of them Too much saving is for the individual ad- vantage but for the public disadvantage. If all the people put their money away,
