Hnt eighteen centuries of most stren- ueus and dstsfr1insd asssuit have been unable to dsstroy or undermine an Inc fsiifrsnt faith in the Bible. Scarcely was the Bibie given to the world be- fore nen discossred three things about it: Fifsk, that tt condemned sin.

FIRST WHITE
 MEN INDICTED Prohibition Causes Two
 Arrests. CONDUCT NEAR-BEER STANDS Thomas E. Harrison and H. KeIse Alexander the Victims. it is Alleged Thss tA. I've Men soia
 Tatoxicants ProAibitea by Law at zAeir soft Drink

Charging the sale of vinous, spirit uous or malt liQuors without license and in violation of the prohibition law, indictments against Thomas F. Har- ris0n and H. Kelse Alexander were executed yesterday. the two men were arrested by deputies. and both released on bond of $500 to appear in the City Court for trial.
 Harrison and Alexander are both
 well-known in Montgomery, both hav- ing been connected with the liquor in- terests in the days of legaiized sale, and both having conducted soft drink
 stands since prohibition went into eff feet.
 The charge is that the two men sold
 intoxicants prohibited by law at their
 soft drink stands. Harrison conducts anasr on North Court Street.
 The arrests came yesterday rather
 as surprise. though 1t had been ex- pectea that some results of such na- | ture would come from the grand jury session. It ts not anticipated, how. ever, that the grand jury investiga-
 tions will extend further than the ar.
 rests of yesterday.
 The arrest of Harrison and Alexan-
 der are the first of white men to bs made since prohibition for the alleged
 violation of the law. A few negroes have been arrested from time to time charged with peddling the intoxicant
 though none of the whites. | The allegation Is that the two nier I had sold whiskey or beer from theii stands, and no complaint is made, 1T these cases, of the substitutes now SC much In vogue.
 1t is rufnored that the hardest wort | of the grand fury was entailed in find. l ing the indictments against the two
 soft-drink men, the evidence being fol
 the most part elusive. The allegations
 are brought by the grand jury after
 its own inyestigations. the Fesults, oi
 which, it seemed to the members seem ed to point to an offense.

schIey and Evaan.

A nice little scheme was unearthed and "scotched" today in the Senate. A paragraph had been tnserted in the Naval Appropriation bill creating the ofice of vice-Admlral on tho retired list.
 The impression got out that 1t was for the special benefit of Admiral ''Bob'' Evans, and c point of order was raised which sent out the item without con- tention.
 This, however. was unfortunate for Senator Rayner of Maryland, as he was primed with a lively speech he fully expected to deliver, He had no chance to get it or and say what would have pleased the masses by asserting that if there was to be any Viee-Admiral on the retired list, congress should name Admiral schley, the hero of san-
 Senator Rayner was chief counsel for Admiral Hchley in the court of tn- ouiry here several years ago. and much regret wac heard at the Capitol that he did not have an opportunity to de- liver his speech.

VOTE OF ALABAMrANs.
Congreasisnal Delegation Split OF Knox


 Knox.
 Washington. Feb. 15.--lSpecial. l-- The bill removing complications for Senator Knox so that he can lawfully become Secretary of state in the Taft Cabinet, was supported in the House today by five of the Alabama Represen- tatives. They are Messrs. Clayton, Taylor, Richardson. Wiley and Craig
 Representatives Underwood, Hefiin, Burnett and HobsOn voted against 1t. The Republican leaders would have been in a bad nx if 1t had not been for Democratic support.
 Much surprise was manifested when 1t became known that Representative Mann of Illinois was working hard agairst the bill. He Is generally re- Rarded as a sort of human phonograph for Speaker Cannons and Uncle Joe" is supposed to talk into the Chicago member so that he can be of service to the presiding officer on the floor, but 1t seems they did not pull together to- day.
 Most of the Republicans who fled the track are looked upon as "insur- gents," who are deslrcus of ripping up the House rules. and this made II all the more remarkable that Congress- man Mann was with them.

II was beyond human endurance to
square of brass between the sights
wavered. Seagrue stumbled, doubled
on his knees, and staggering plunged
loosely forward on the sand. Whfs-
pering Smith threw his fire toward
the bowlder behind which Sinclair
and Barney Rebstock had disappeared.
Suddenly he realized that the bullets
from the point were not coming his
way. He was aware of a second rifle
duel above the bend. Wickwire, worm
Ing his way down the stream, had UNI
covered Sinclair and young Rebstock
from behind. A yell between the
shots rang across the wash, and the
cringing figure of a man ran out to-
ward Whispering Smith with his hands
high in the air, and pitched headlong
on the ground. 1t was the skulker,
Barney Rebstock, driven out by Wick
wires fire.
The shooting ceased. Silence fell
upon the gloom of the dusk. Then
came a calling between Smith and
Wickwire, and a signaling of pistol
shots for their companions. Kennedy
and Bob Scott dashed down toward
the river bed on their. horses. Sea-
grue lay on his face. Young Reb-
stock sat with his hands around his
knees on the sand. Above him at
some distance, Wickwire and Smith
stood before a man who leaned against
the sharp cheek of the bowlder at the
point. In his hands his rifle was held
across his lap just as he had dropped
on his knee to fire. He had never
moved after he was struck. His head,
dropping a little, rested against the
rock, and his hat lay on the sand; his
heavy beard had sunk into his chest
and he kneeled in the shadow, asleep.
Scott and Kennedy knew him. In the
mountains there was no double for
Murray Sinclair.
When he jumped behind the point to
pick Whispering Smith off the ledge
he had laid himself directly under
Wickwire's fire across the wash. The
first shot of the cowboy at 200 yards
had passed, as he knelt, through both
temples.

The remarkable thing about 1t Is
that there are separate entrances to
these two post offices, they have the
same lobby, and there is not a sign
of a partition to mark the division be-
tween the domain of Uncle Sam and
the possessions of King Edward, and
yet some railroad company is carrying

PRESERVE CHARM OF VOICE
Proper Care of Organ Which Nature
Has Bestowed IL Essential
Duty Of All.
THE END.

A sweet voice is a powerful femin-
inc charm. One also admires fine
masculine voices which are %sonorous
| and full.
We should, therefore, be careful OF
this organ which nature has bestowed
Upon us, and improve it If possible.
| Coarse, snrill and harsh voices may be
softened by care and study. A woman
With a peacock voice ear never charm.
Speak in a low voice, but distinctly.
Loud speaking denotes i~ll-breeding.
and sometimes shows a dOmineertng
spirit. Many people drown the voices
| Of others in a discussion that they
may themselves attract the more at.
tention. To keep the voice at a proper
tone. Eve call from n end OF the
room to another, nor from upstairs
down, o at any distance where 1t
becomes necessary for one to shout
with all his might, as this coarsens
and roughens the voice and in time
| ruins it.
There are persons who, when
spoken to, pay no attention, either
from abstraction OF from Indifference,
to anything which may proceed from
others. The person who speaks Is
| then obliged to raise the voice and re-
peat, and thus the habit of speaking
loudly is frequently formed.
These things occur In families
where but little politeness is observed
between those who owe one another as
much consideration as is due to out
siders.
One should never cry out under the
influence of anger. indignation or pain.
These cries forever destroy the har-
mony of the vocal chords. Children
! should be prevented from screaming
when at play.
