On the very brink of the cliff all the fisher folk. men. women and children, stood looking at the far-oR burning ship. from which the flames rose in columns. The black smoke, pressed down by the storm, covered the white- topped waves as with a mantle of mourning. @

 '"rhe Cat and the Mouse'' and 'sThe Lion and the Lamb" is the title of a neatly and artistically printed and em- bellished little brochure from the pen of Alexander Troy of Montgomery. It Is q Shakespearean portrayal of some latter day heroes. Falstaflan in their importance as we'll as in their conse- Quence. rs
 The dramatis personae are B. B. Co., mer, Governor of Alabama, and W. B. Fort, his private secretary. They are supposed to typify the cat and the between the two wherein Conner like the Shakespearean characters unfolds the troubles and tribulations which surround and infiict him to Fort, who ally give him a dig beneath the mid rib and thrust home some homely truths. v
 The dialogue Is excruciatingIy funny periodical, voices facts that are plain matters of history and that will exist to plague the leading character in tho drama while he lives.
 Every Alabamian should read it for the pleasure it will afford, as we'll as for the lesson it impresses.
 The second part, '"rhe Lion and the Lamb" the dramatis personae are Judge tary, E. L. May. and the scene depicted is the Judges chambers at night. From the "reminiscences of the war glIbly re- called and discussed the committing to a consideration of the Alabama rail- way legislation and controversies and 1t is simply richness throughout. The comicality of the situation is simply excruciating, and the wit and point displayed in the presentation are in- comparable. Everybody should read and could not fail to enjoy this little brochure.-Bessemer Weekly.
 Hon. Alex Troy of Montgomery has just written and published a booklet which rivals ShalI espearean comedy and Junius philosophy. Its title page is '"The Cat and the Mouse" and "The Lion and the Lamb. The dramatis personae of the first are B. B. Conner. Governor of Alabama. and ". .E Fort. his private secretary; of the other. Thomas G. Jones, Judge of the United States District Court. and E l.. May. his secretary. As a satirical production. hit, of history. and 2 truthful por- acter the little book is worthy of a place in all Alabama libraries. Yt's simply rich.-Demopolis Times.
 Hon. Alexander Troy of Montgomery has sent out to his friends splendidly written and illustrated pamphlet on the railroad question of Alabama The first part, "Cat and Mouse" relates a dialogue between Mir. Conner and his secretary. Mir. Fort. The second. part, ''Lion and Lamb." a dialogue between Judge Jones and his secretary. MT. May. The copy received by the editor was sent to him individually. and not as editor. Yet we can't help mentioning this splendid production in our paper. Nothing has given us more pleasure In a long time. It is one of the wit tiest and best written things we have ever read.-Jasper News.

DEATH FROM PIN PRICK.
Nurse in Contagious Ward Dies From
Blood Poisoning.

NEW KORK, April 20-One of
the most popular and efficient nurses
of the Riverside Hospital, on North
Brother Island, Miss May Belle
Strawmuski, has given UP her life
calling. Riverside Hospital is city
institution given over to the treat
ment of contagious diseases exclu-
sively, and about three weeks ago
Miss Strawmuski was in charge of
some diptheria patients She pricked
her thumb in the apparel of one Of
her patients and thought nothing Of
it. In few days, however, it de-
veloped that the pin was infected and
Miss Strawmuski was found to be
suffering from violent attack Of sep
ticemia. Ordinarily an operation on
the injured thumb or an amputation
of the arm would have saved the life
of the suffered but in the case Of Miss
Strawmuski the poison had been so
virulent and spread so rapidly that
all efforts to save her life proved
futile and she died yesterday.
DR.. Westmoreland, in charge of the
hospital, says during his two years
service there Miss Strawmuski was
one of the most fearless of nurses,
who never hesitated when her duty
called her to positions Of danger.

NEW USE FOR WASTE PAPER

The writer gathered together a
number of old Sunday supplements.
Shade OF Julius Caesar, famous for
laconic dispatches, what verbosity
characterizes our literary efforts OF
today! Those Sunday supplements,
vari-colored. voluminous, formidable
according to avoirdupois measure at
least, rose mountains high in kitchen
corner and in cellar The cry of the
housewife was "burn EN- up, for PHYS
sake.
But more poetic fate was in store
for the Sunday sups, They were
destined to be soaked and ground to
pulps and transformed into pictur-
esque designs for the home,
1t took lot OF soaking to soften
those Sunday sups to the required
consistency They had to be left in
water for three days and nights be-
fore it was deemed desirable TO con
tinue the experiment with them.
After this prolonged soaking the
ipaper was found to be in shape to
permit Of its being pulled apart into
shreds small enough and soft enough
to be passed through the domestic
meat grinder.
This was the second process. After
it came through the meat grinder the
paper had assumed greenish hue,
quite artistic and attractive and the
shreds had become small PARTICLES Of
pulp, soft and pliable. With this
material the experiment was tried Of
fashioning figures. They looked very
pretty and odd but something was
wrong. The mass would not bind
Its cohesiveness was lost when the
pulp dried. II simply disintegrated
and crumbled apart.
The pulp was soaked again and this
time some liquid glue was mixed in
with it and the mass kneaded toget-
her until sufficient material OF the
combined kind had been prepared for
another experiment. The figures
fashioned OF this material-simply
paper pulp and little liquid glue
held as firmly as cement.

entertaining article in the Technical

which may prove very valuable to
seekers after useful home arts.
