John W. Bush. negro of middle age of considerable pride and little coin, spent an uneasy day at the Cap itol yesterday.
 Bush Is nok a civilian doing hon- orabie service of a domestic nature for Christian F. Enslen. of Birmingham. the financier. He was once a soldier. But for the patriotism of the business. erstwhile Private Bush. Company D. 3rd Infantry. Alabama Volunteers. who enlisted for the bout with the Span- iards. might have wished he had al- ways remained a civilian.
 But 1t was a busy day for Bush try ing to get back to RirminRham- He had paid out his cold cash to get to Montgomery. The attraction was the Adjutant Generals office. The trouble was alt about reading newspapers. The news spread over the State that the Spanish-American war claims due Ala bama Volunteers was being paid out by the Adtutant General. beginning Sep tember 1 So they were.
 From the day of such announcement in the press. Bush began to dream of Fl Dorados. He began also to save his wages. He served during the war and he wanted to draw his check from Uncle Sam. the State of Alabama being the disbursing officer. Others were drawing it. And the negro was not going to risk the maiL either. He pre- pared to call in person.
 Having gotten together $2.sS. Prt- vate Bush loaded down with creden- tiaIs from Mfr Enslen and other prom inent employers of the Magic City. caught his train for Montgomery

LARK TO PROMISES OF
 COOLER WEATHER TODAY

Weather fair and as cool as 1t has been recently is predicted. for Mont gomery today. The same condition will prevail throughout Alabama. though there Is a probability of light showers. in the southern portion of the State.
 Showers were prevalent throughout scattered localities Of the South yester- day. The only point in Alabama which was really visited by rain was Ozark, but there quite downpour was wit messed. At one point in that State a fall of three and one-half inches was recorded.
 The area of high barometer which lay over the interior has trended off toward the Atlantic coast and in it's wake an area of low barometer has been shifting along. In this section the change due to the altered atmos- pheric conditions is only slight.

Private John Bush's Horrors
 Came Alter, Not During War

tstive of The Advertiser. "De train cantered on iickety-ty-split all right. but thought I'd never sot foot in dis town. Now. rse here. Boss. en I wish I'd never come"
 What's the matter. John. didn't you get your check?'' he was asked.
 Got ascheck: vas sir. but what you call dem figgers7"
 The reporter found himself finger ing a warrant, considerably soiled from handling. which showed that St cents was due to John W Bush. Prt- vate, Company D. 3rd Infantry, Ala Captain. It was signed by the Adju- tant General, disbursing officer. and countersigned by the Governor. Never. perhaps. did negro wear a more disap- pointed look.
 Boss, sho you know Pse not blind and I'se not sick in one sense. but you dassent see a nigger git fooled like dis and have to hit de gravel back home. Won't you help me just a leel bits"
 Believing it was in reality a hard luck story. the reporter deprived him. self of car fare for tomorrow and gave the pleading negro a dime. It was a case where 1t looked like the paying of $5.ss in search of ran honest debt honestly due. but whose amount was unknown. The transportation from Birmingham to Montgomery had been paid by Bush himself. He had not an- other picayune on which to get back homo. He determined therefore, to hike about the Capitol, telling his tale of wee.
 About this time the Governor passed the Utopfan dreamer in the corridors of the first floor. This man, weighted

 Ralph Garner. who is said to be al. ways soft" until thirty seconds toe late. tumbled readily to the pity of the thing. He tossed the negro private 6 10 cents. who did one of those Second Avenue obeisances in acknowledge. ment thereof.
 Charlie Boyd. however. another one of those Treasury inmates. stopped the negro suddenly with a tap on ths shoulder.
 'Ts this money to pay your expensei down nere or back to Birmingham7' asked Mir. Boyd.

 But, Boss, de strike Is settled.'
 "Yes, the strike Is settled but the smoke and duSt isn't"
 Bush had a hard time with his coI- lections. Tn ths late afternoon he had gotten nearly half enough to put him back where he was before he read the newspapers.
 But whas an obstacle" remarked his sympathizers, getting up a coilec- ton to go to Birmingham.

HORSES HOOP LIKE TOE NAIL.
Grows on Average Third Of an Inch
Every Month.

Few persons realize that a horses
hoof IL really the same thing as the
toe nails Of human beings or Of ami
mails having toes. The horn of hoof
grows Just as toe nail does.
The hoof grows more rapidly In
unshod horses than In those wearing
shoes. And 1t grows faster In horses
which are we'll groomed and well fed.
But on the average the horn grows
about third Of an inch month.
Hind hoofs grow faster than fore
hoofs. The toe Of the hoof being the
longest part, 1t takes longer for the
horn to grow down there than at the
heel. For instance, the toe will grow
entirely down in from IL to 10 months,
while the heel will grow down In from
three to five months.
As the new horn grows out any
cracks or defects in the old gradually
work down to where they can be cut
OF, Just as with human finger nails,
you can watch the progress OF bruise
from the roof to the tip.

To Aid City Working Girls.

Miss Mary Boyle O'Reilly, daughter
of John Boyle O'Reilly, as president of
the st. Elizabeth guild of Boston, is
making an effort to ameliorate the
conditions of the working girls in that
city. AS the result of personal inves
legations, Miss O'Reilly estimates that
there are about $4,000 dodgers In the
city, the majority of them working
girls, young and inexperienced, and
with no protectio, against the COM
plexities of city lite. AS cure for
the many evils of the public lodging
houses Miss OReilly believes that all
such houses should be controlled by
a municipal agency and all should be
under the supervision of corps of
competent women inspectors.
