The "open pantomime" performance given by the deaf mutes at the state school was an entertainment possible at no other point in Alabama. Pantomime is the daily habit of the deaf mute, a part of the language he naturally uses. and no one is so thoroughly master of expression of face. hands, and body as the deaf mute. The performance at the state school for the deaf was witnessed by comparatively few as many did not know of it, but the few who were pres ent kesnly enjoyed it. The numbers given consisted of an Address; the Life of Washington this, of course, being in pantomime, the characters being Uncle Sam," Ross A. Johnson assistant clowns, John c. Smith and Warren Year gan. The Escaped Convict was the next number. Guard. John c. Smith; con- vict, Pat Kirkland; policeman, Ross Johnson and Herman Ware; painter, John Chunn; drummer, Warren Yeargan.
 The Tramp and His Dummy" requiring two scenes to portray, followed this of fering. The Prize Fighter and How He Lifted the Mortgage On His Home,' was delightfully."- realistic, requiring four scenes to complete the story. Last came "The Tramp and His Mishaps." outlined in two scenes, Ross A. Johnson John c. Smith, Pat Kirkland, Warren Yeargan and Joel Davenport playing star roles. Uncle Sam" bid the audience good night in a charming bit of pantomime No one can form an ieda of the realism and power of these pantomimes unless they have seen them rendered by deaf mutes. It is to be hoped that the public may see them oftener.

The Best
Spring Medicine

It is as easy to prove that
Hoods Sarsaparilla is the
best spring medicine as it is
to say it.
Spring Ailments are blood ailments
that is, they arise from an impure.
impoverished, devitalized condition of
the blood; and Hoods Sarsaparilla
purifies, enriches and revitalizes the
blood as no other medicine does.
1t is the most effective Of all blood
medicines.
There is Solid Foundation for this
claim. in the more than 10000 testi-
monials of. radical and permanent
cures by this medicine, received in
two years, this record being unpar-
alleled in medical history.
