Kill of OutIaw Act

Incident to recent decisions in other states and the United States, 1t is proba- ble that the Alabama statute, known as Qthe outlaw act, will not be further re- garded as enforceable. This act provides that In cases where corporations move a case from a state to federal court such act automatically annuls their license to do business in the state. The Southern railway, under this act, was put out of legal rights in the state as a result of which 1t agreed to put in the state rate acts, leading in this movement to accede to the demands of the state for lower charges. The outlaw act has been evaded by injunctions against annuing license when cases have been removed, and 1t is now sought to make this unnecessary by agreement not to enforce the provision.

In this or any other deer season ever
had a more exciting experience than
that which befell Miss Clara Stiffel,
who lives near the village of Germania
and has the distinction of being one of
the best rife shots of all this section.
Miss Stiffels experience with the
buck deer that came near putting the
finishing touches to her occurred on
the second day of the season on one of
The branches of Kettle creek
On the morning OF the second day
out Miss Stiffel had been on her drive
for the better part of an hour, when.
Just as she had taken the edge OF a
laurel thicket that stood far above her
head, she heard the unmistakable
snort of buck. seemingly only a few
yards from her. She stood still and
listened, when the sudden crashing of
the brush away to her right attracted
her attention Just in time to see a
pair OF does hiking out of the thicket
into the open and away like flash out
Of her sight.
She was convinced that there must
be buck somewhere in the neighbor-
hood. and she crept cautiously out to
the edge Of the thicket, where she
could get glimpse of the side of the
ridge. AS she did so the shaking of a
sapling about two rods away caught
her eye, and a moment later the form
of fine big buck pushed itself out
from the thicket-
Miss Stiffel saw that the deer was
wounded. evidently having been shot
in the hind parts, and it moved with
difficulty. For moment her womanly
sympathy got the better of her. and
she hesitated about shooting But
then second thought told her that in
that condition the deer would only
crawl away and die, or fall prey to the
catamounts. and she fired. The deer
bounded as well as 1t could. so that
it was partly hidden behind fallen
hemlock treetop, and when she had
made detour OF swampy place and
come up within ten feet of the tree
top the deer had escaped her entirely
She moved cautiously, for she knew
that with his old wound and the one
her bullet had inflicted the animal
must soon give up the fight for escape.

The lion which had fallen into the

goaded to fury in his cage and when
drawn into the ring was ready to fight

behind barriers. Out sprang the lion

Expert Carpenter Gives Some Point

Proceeding.

ut takes an apprentice a full year
to learn that he does not know how to
drive nail" said an expert carpenter.
when once he has realized this 1t is
only matter of few minutes to
learn how 1t should be done. The
commonest mistake is the belief that
a hard blow with the hammer is more
effective than several little taps, and
the learner is inclined to admire the
man who drives nail all the way in
with but one blow This is where he
is wrong; four or five blows are much
better than one. The reason is that
one hard blow inevitably makes the
nail rebound. ever SO slightly, 1t is

from his own life.
Except for this slight link he was
cut off from his fellow-beings-adrift
on shoreless sea- He did not feel
that others suffered as he was suffer
ing, that many a gallant ship that
passed with colors flying was freight
ed with burden as heavy as his own.
He clung with pathetic eagerness to a
belief that others were happy and
found life worth living. For, as time

with cruel insistence-not as a specu-

BEATING THE TOM-TOM

The Omaha Bee is correct in saying
" 1t is only fair to ourselves that as we
approach the season of the spell-binder
we remember that political Oratory to-
day has a market value just like any
other article of commerce. They are
syndicates and associations that pay so
much per lecture or address or what
ever we may choose to call one of these
diatribes and, as the men making them
usually need the money, they are en-
titled to a certain degree of sympathy.
But these facts should not relieve
us of our responsibility. The honest
thinking individual still has left the
duty of separating facts from fiction
and cannot afford to be misled by the
aggrieved politician orpaid office seeker,
whose business it is to play to the
galleries. These spell binders will tell
us that we as nation are confronted
with grave problems; that we have
come to the time when we must choose
between the man and the dollar and de-
eide whether the classes or the masses
shall rule. That is their business, their
stock in trade Our business is to re-
member that we as nation have al
ways been confronted with grave prob
lens and that we have always solved
every problem in it's turn; that we long
ago arrived at the time of choosing be-
tween the man and the dollar and chose
the man and that years before these
circuit riders came on the scene of ac-
ton we, as a nation, decided that 1T
would be the masses and not the classes
who should rule this land.
