Is a Modern David.

Albert Lucknow, living near But
Ter, has equalled the feat of David of
old, when he threw a stone and slew
a steer belonging to a n.ighbor. Luck
now was driving along the lane by
his neighbours home when he saw
some of the cattle had broken out of
the pasture. Thinking to do a neigh
borly act Lucknow attempted to drive
them back, and to hurry their move
ments he picked up a stone and shieu
1t at n of the animals. It struck
it over the eye and to his amazement
the steer dropped dead in it's tracks.
Lucknow is wondering whether he
will be called upon to pay for the
steer.

in a few minutes with the pail nearly
full of rich milk, which he gave to
mothers for their famished infants.

WARM FIGHT
 ANTICIPATED Plan For Constitutional
 Bill. 10 INTRODUCE II MONDAY Rev. Brooks Lawrence Has Been Active Lobbyist. Ss rxpectea te Return to Montgomery Mo.asy, wAen the R4al Fight On the Csnstitutisaal
 Amendment is Duo.
 

The rather persistent rumor to the enect that the House resolution of last week to prevent the introduction of any proposed amendment to the Consti- tution has a fair chance of favorable report, has had the immediate effect of stimulating the prohibition forces to extend themselves. It is said that there will be much scurrying of the dry element of the House, when the legislators return from their two days vacation tomorrow. DIS
 lay in offering the bill to place pro- hibition in the organic law of the State. means that the Anti Saloon leaders have realized, since the con- vening of the Legislature that push ing proposition of this kind. Is dif- ferent materially from Issuing A cry of prohibition itself. For instance. 1t Is agreed that many members will vote for the Carmichael prohibftion bill and other supplemental temperance meas ures. who dare not vote foE. the pro- hfbftion amendment. Since 1t is also rumored that there will be consider able gain in the so-called wet element of the House and Senate, even on the matter of prohibition direct, 1t can be well imagined that the more dubious question of constitutional prohibition is the cause of concerns among the Anti-Saloon League adherents.
 Rev. Brooks Lawrence, Superin- tendent of the Anti-Saloon League. is expected to return Monday morning ready for the tense struggle that ia promised when constitutional prohi. bition comes to the calendar--if, in- deed 1t Is presented at this session. Mfr. Lawrence lost no time either in House
