The part of mans life that is not
spent in doing foolish things is spent
in recovering from them.
The difference between woman's
temper and mans is merely that
she can turn hers loose without swear

The woman who laments that she
has to darn her husbands stockings
seems to forget that he has to wear
them.
A young woman .cant help think
ing she will never grow old, because.
long before the time comes for that,
there will be a change in the laws of

One of the most elaborate church l entertainments ever given in Alabama was the Pascha- Fest which was suc- cesson of charming functions, lasting | week.
 The ladies of the Church of the Advent should be proud of the results | achieved. Each department was com plete from every standpoint. The new parish house, indeed, is an ideal place for an entertainment of any kind The large hall in which the Pasch- Fest was held was made very inviting by it's floral decoration. Wistaria vines were draped on wall and ceiling, the grace full festoons and the pendent blossoms giving 1t the aspect of an outer arbor
 Delightful luncheons were served here daily, the tables being removed for the
 evening entertainments. The booths
 at one side were laden with the daint-
 lest bits of handwork which were cas- fly disposed of.
 One of the most interesting features
 of the Pascha-F'est was the sale of the
 cook book, culinary Crinkles" which was compiled by members of the con
 gregation and their friends under the direction of Mrs. Ned R. McDavid. It Is an attractive book with its white cover bearing its picture of a dainty little lady in ruffled apron and cap

 Birmingham folk are much interested in the paintings of MT. Eliot Daingertield. His studio at Blowing Rock has been visited by a number who favor the North Carolina mountains during the heated term, and he has pupil here who is very decidedly credit to him-Miss Alice Rumph. A striking landscape which has just come from his easel was described thus by an enthusiastic admirer: ''The subject was taken from the mountains of North Carolina The precipitous lines of a brown cliff and the tall trunks of the mountain pines seemingly cut a gash through which Is seen the even ing sky and the moon rising through the mists vast like a great world just launched into space, are its features"

Mccoy Boys at Garden City. Sen
fenced to ReformatOry.
We're Charged With Stealing
Horses From Neighbors.
BOTH PLEAD GUILTY.
Claimed That They We're Drunk
at Time of Theft.
Young Horsethieves Captured by
Posse in New Mexico.

Garden City. Kan. March 23.-Otto
and John NJ. Mccoy. the young men
who took the two horses from the C.
M Bowers barn at Holcomb two weeks
ago, were given indeterminate sentences
of not more than seven years each in
the reformatory at Hutchinson by
Judge Thompson of the district court.
The preliminaries to the sentence did
not require a great length of time. The
McCoys had been captured in New Mex
leo by sherih's posse while still in
the possession of the stolen animals and
they have not denied taking them.
When their case was called in district
court. Clerk Easley read the informa-
ton, which had been filed against them
by County Attorney Roberts and the
court asked them what they had to say.
We are guilty. said Otto Mccoy,
the older of the two. and his brother
repeated it a moment later.
The court then asked the usual ques-
tions as to their relatives. They were
answered by the oldest brother, who
stated that the family had been in Gar
den City for some three months but had
recently gone to Tempus, Col, to work
on a big reservoir there. He said they
had been following public work as long
as he could remember
When the court asked him. what
caused the boys to take the horses, he
said they did not think of it until they
were drunk His brother told practi-
cally the same story.
Otto gave his age as 25 next October.
John said he would be % next month.
