Too Much Thompson,
Police Might Think
About Five Cases

A dozen Joneses and several Smiths
having figured in the news recently, the
Thompson family at large was conspicu-
Gus in police circles last night.
Joseph Thompson, Of 1916 Emerson

1124 q street northeast. had an aiterca-
ton at Thirteenth and II streets north
east. with the result that Thompson
was taken To the Casualty Hospital and
Lewis was locked up in the Ninth pre-
cinct station on a charge of assault.
The trouble started with a dog fight
and ended with a stab wound in Thomp-
sons right eye. Both men had dogs
with them when they met. The dogs
greeted each other with tails waEging,
and. just TO show their playfulness. be-
gan planting their teeth in each others
flesh. Lewis dog was getting the worst
of the argument, so he planted his foot
IN the side OF the Thompson dog.
After that The men came TO blows. il
is said. and Lewis is alleged to have
drawn a knife and stabbed Thompson
In the eye. An operation will probably
be necessary TO save the sight.
Joseph Thompson. engineer at Center
Market, reported the larceny of $50
from his clothes in. a locker in the en-
slne-room. He suspected a colored man
who was seen lettering about the mar
ket early I'm the evening.

Circle, Joseph Thompson. twenty-one
years old, of 91S r street northeast,
colIided with a cab and was thrown 10

Of the left arm and bruises about the
head and body.

Old OF 1902 y street northwest, fell from

and bruises on his head
Edward Thompson. thirty-two years

 The attention If all memorial wo. men Is directed to the following reso- Iution which was passed at the con- vention held in the city of Richmond. June 2. 1907:
 "Be 1t resolved that the Confederate Southern Memorial Association do re- quest General Stephen D. Lee, Com mander-ln- chief of the United Confed- crate Veterans. 10 Issue an order call- ing the attention of the various Con- federate organizations. to the ap- preaching centennial of the birth of Jefferson Davis, the first and only President of the Confederate States of America, which will occur on June 8, 1908, and that all be requested to unite and observe the day in manner ap- propriate to the important occasion"
 Tn accordance with this resolution the officers and members of all memo rial associations are called on to assist in having the story of the life and character of Jefferson Davis. introduced into the schools and colleges of their respective States during the early part of the year. eliminating with appro- priate exercises on June 3, 1908.
 The President is most desirous that a united effort should be made to have the picture of Jefferson Davis, the dis tinguished American patriot, soldier and Christian gentleman, placed in every school room anu nDrary in the South on June 3. 1908. This would af- ford an opportunity to the children of the coming generation, to become fa- niliar with his characteristic features and by study be stimulated to emulate the noble and heroic virtues as exem- plified in his life.
 Let the one hundredth anniversary of the birth of Jefferson Davis, be a red letter day in the South, Let it be the occasion of a grand outpouring of the Southern people, to testify their devotion to the memory of hiIn--the one man. who was made to suffer for his people. Let the name of Jefferson Davis. President of the Confederate Gtates of America, be upon every lip

One of the most picturesque spots in Alabama is the famous Black Creek Falls, known years ago to the Indians as Noccalula Falls. Impeileds by the ever increasing force with which Black Creek works It's way downward from It's starting place high up among the mountains, the water dashes over the precipice which suddenly appears in its path, and plunges. with thunder ous roar, into the basin ninety feet beneath. The attraction of the place is indescrib bable. for the enehantment of scenery is added to the charm of q thrilling Indian legend.
 When a young girl visited the falls with party of sight-seers. Standing under the shelving rock near the rag ing vortex. and watching alternately the protecting rock above and the ari- sry waters below I listened to the story of the gentle Indian maiden. In- stantly its romantic character seized upon my imagination. and fancy be- gan to busy herself with weaving the bright and the dark threads of the legend Into q design of her own. Ideal though the adornmept became. yet the setting of the story fin the midst Of majestic mountains is true to nature. and the story Itself is outlined from the actual narrative; but instead of the legendary name Of the indian girl.
