 Deafening Welcome.
 Needless to describe the deafening cheers that welcomed the return. Katherine Wright, who had shouted loudly as anybody, ran down the field with her friend, Mrs. Van Dfeman, and grasped her brothers almost hysterically dancing with glee. She nearly embraced Lieutenant Foulois. who seemed rather embarrassed by the demonstration. Wilbur was more self-controlled, though making no secret of his elation. He forthwith began making calculations to determine the probable speed of the trip His first estimate WAS A miles an hour, but after he had consulted with Lieuten- ant Foulois he figured it ct 4212 miles. We were making 80 miles an hour coming back" were almost the fist words of Foulois, as he left his seat. He seemed disconcerted by the congratulations that were heaped upon him, but was plainly too delighted to talk much. Asked how 1t felt to fly, he replied:
 Its good enough for me-"

ADRIFT WITH THE TIMES
A SUNNY PHILOSOPHER.

A SUNNY PHILOSOPHER. The gladdest man ever knew Had neither wealth nor fame, But thought 1t lots Of fun to lead The children in a game. And all through life he laughed so much. In such a cheerful way, 1t seemed he never would grow old, Although his hair was gray. He had no good advice to give No lessons to impart, But he was wise because he kept The sunshine in his heart.

Sims chancery Practice.


 'Mr. Henry Upton Sims of Birming- ham, an attorney of very distinguished attachments, has written book entitled 'Chancery Practice,' of some 600 pages, which has been brought out from the press of Callahan 6 Co.,, of Chicago, and some advance copies of which are now in the city," said a prominent lawyer.
 This is the second book upon legal subjects which has been produced by the pen of MT. Sims, and is of very pre- tentious appearance; and a cursory exam ination leads one to think it will be a most valuable aid to the practitioners in the chancery courts in Alabama.
 "The layman will recall that Alabama remains one of the few states which still retains the separation between the courts of law and the courts of equity, with all of the technicalities, or, at least, many of them, which formerly surrounded the courts of equity.
 "The volume referred to has 3s chap ters, devoted to the various subdivisions of the law, with tables of cases arising in Alabama, and in other states. and is followed by forms for Alabama chancery
 
 courts in Alabama which exercise chan cery Jurisdiction. The typographical ex- ecution of the work Is of the highest order and the systematic divisions will make references to 1t easy and plain.
 Alabama has not numbered many of her lawyers as writers of law books. She has had among her sons some of the most distinguished judges, among whom might be mentioned the Walkers, Stone, Brickell, Somervile and Coleman. It Is. therefore. pleasing to the members Of the bar to have among It's followers some of capacity and industry enough to bring forth books like this 'Chancery Practice Certainly our state law school could not adopt better textbook that would be more useful to che Alabama lawyer than MT. Sims book MT. Sims Is to be con- graduated upon this indication of his ability and competency.
 ''The book is dedicated to Chancellor Alfred H. Benners, AS a token of the authors appreciation of his friendship. long antedating his becoming chancellor, and reverence for his penetration, open ness of mind and devotion to truth as a judge {"

INTO CROWD
IN A COURTROOM
Texas Girl Shoots Her BetrayeI
and Three Other Men.

Gainesville, Tex, Feb. 3.-Miss Vera
Ware, daughter of a prominent far
mer of this county, fired into a
crowded courtroom here, continuing
until her weapon was emptied. AS a
result John Hanes, a merchant of
Jonesboro, for whom the bullets were
intended, is dead, two bystanders.
James Smith and David Ross, are be-
lieved to be MORALLY wounded, and
A. r. Wiley, Jr., is seriously wounded.
1t was during the conclusion of a
case on trial in the district court that
the shooting occurred. Miss Ware, as
complainant, and Hanes, as defendant,
on a charge of seduction, the former
in an ante-room and the latter in the
courtroom. were awaiting the calling
from which view of the courtroom
could be had, Miss Ware saw Hanes
among the spectators, and before she
could be restrained drew the revolver
from the folds of her dress and opened
fire.
Three of the bullets went true to
the intended mark, inflicting wounds
in the back and arms, the man dying
within en- hour. Smith was shot in
the head and it is not believed posi-
BILE for him to live. Ross was wound
ed in the neck and arm and it is be-
lieved also that his wounds will prove
fatal. Wiley received a bullet in his
leg. Miss Ware and her brother,
Charles Ware, were arrested.
