Table Talks fer Bromiaes During the
 Three Meals.
 Breakfast They say they paid no ss5sg sss5esntion to the ire drill. I never did didn't do two hours work yesterday. You have got the spring feyer, that's all the matter with you. We'll. I am tSs h of nsssn the po go # vas really q red d-haired widow that said all that about Driftwood? You can't tell what anybody says when those newspaper men are talking.
 Lunche0n.-I am so uneasy about the children after that horrible accident Tn Cleveland. shan't rest easily until l see them home again. I am glad summer will soon be here So they will not have to use those old furnaces You know there Is a time in every mans lie when he thinks he would like to pc in love with q red-haired woman. great many feel that way about it--I never did. If she was as attractive as all that believe that man would have requested her out of the paper as she requested They won't keep anybody
 Dinner.--I was certainly glad to see the children. home again. Doesn't it seem queer that the Republican de,e- eation from Alabama should count for anything? Their votes count as much few Republicans iu Alabama. Many more than you think. I am glad the authorities are taking such a deter mined stand against anarchists. They do. should think they could stop them at the immigration station. Chief Shippy stopped one of them all right. That's the way they all ought to be this way. Every dollar carries trou- bles of It's own, eh? Don't do anything till I see you.
 The Firensen are Pleased.
 More than one fireman is pleased with the prospect of having alarms on dan gerous crossings to warn the police persons and the pedestrian, persons to viii be the least dangerous @ pos possible. Alderman Farrish's resolution. contem- plating an investigation of the cost and q subsequent investment in installa- ton. If the expenditure would not be too great is expected soon to result in the placing of gougs which will be adequate to warn the people out of the way of the firemen as they hasten to answer summons for aid in extfn-
 It was Mir. Nose Mohr who suggested that the gongs would be the thing to get the crossings of Court Square. of Perry and Dexter. of Bibb and Com clear for the nremen. Other means have failed, sfor. che big bell on the tower can not be heard by the running men of the street cars. the policemen and the citizens on the streets. Gongs connected with the fire alarm system will ring automatically when an alarm Is made and thus everybody will be ad- yised that something Is going to hap
 Lsghts for IIIumInation.
 Alderman w. W. Seidle Is having the congratulations of numerous citizens because of measure he introduced to the Council at it's last meeting when he asked that his fellows in the leg islative body of the municipality con- slider the expediency of removing the lights from the tower of the city hall and place them on the streets where they could be seen of almost as many persons and yet illuminate instead of merely Illustrating.
 Mir, Seidle draws a distinction be- tween the lights on the City Hall and those upon the dome of the Capitol. He thinks that the latter are fine; they can be seen for miles around Mont gomery: they welcome the stranger, welcome tidings that old Montgomery is atfU in the right place.
 But the lights on the City Hall, he says, are not visipIe even in many parts of the city and the dome they display with their moderate brilliance is not 50 impressive after all. He be- leves that . great many feel that way
 The gentleman from Four thinks the lights which are costly little things might better have place upon the streets where they would turn darkness to light.
