unmistakable expressions of appreciation

all who attended must have known 1t.
1t is a farcical travesty with no few
situations which are really laughable,
but the interest must be kept alive al
times with appeals to the very coarsest
of the risibes. In spots it's satire on

the whole is more than anything else an

Lessons From Fox Hunt

To the Editor of The Age Herald:
That fox hunt by the outlook club.
Well, gentlemen, If you want some real
sport, take the hounds to the old fields
and the woods and let them jump an
old hungry red fox. and If you Will
follow him to the end you will be
rubbing your joints with oil for fort
night afterward. At the battle of Get
tysburg we were on the hunt for
Yankees and found them in great num-
bers And, strange to say, we found
red fox, too. He came from our rear,
and was making straight for Round
Top. l suppose he was hunting his
hole.
This fox story leads me to leave a
bit of unwritten history, That morn
Ing We were laying in the Emmitsburg
turnpike, Immediately in rear of Pick
cts and Heath's divisions-the troops
that made the charge upon the noun
tain. In our rear was a beautiful oak
grove. The ground was level and part
ly covered with many fat rocks; on
the western border of this grove was
a clear stream of running water from
which we filled our canteens.
The memorable counsel of war was
held that morning about 200 yards to
our right in the open fields. When it
was ended Generals R. e. Lee and A.
P. Hill, riding together halted just in
rear of our company There was al
ways something lofty about Lees bear
ing, but on this occasion, when rails
ing his tall form from the saddle, and
turning his blazing eyes upon Round
Top, and then upon Hill, saying to
him. do you see that battery yes,
sirv' you must capture it." Il will do
my best" As Lee spoke these words
to Hill 1t was plain to see that he was
in no pacific mood and yet his mighty
soul showed no anger upon his beau
tiful face.
In five minutes the assault was
opened on the federal lines with masses
of artillery that made the earth trem-
BILE July 3, 1868, seemed to us to be
an evil day for the south. But men
who will march in line of battle
through open fields in a blaze of shot
and she'll, climb mountain and storm,
and go into the enemy's breastworks
as the Confederates did at Gettysburg
will always have the respect and ad-
mira ton of a thoughtful people. And
as like begets like, not only in noble
manhood but in mental development,
the south has nothing to fear The SUR
viving veterans hope that our coun-
try may abound in peace and plenty.
Let us seek the knowledge and wis
dom of the fox, not how to get into
hole but how to get out of one.

And further down In the account it was
related that 1.-The leniency of the jury in
Leckett's case is thought to be due to the
fact that it could not be proven which of

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR


To the Editor of The Age-Herald.
Since writing an article that appeared
in the Lobby" column on the Memphis
courthouse, in which l recommended the
adoption of the plans and designs of that
building, and its location in Capitol park,
have been asked what should be done
with the present courthouse. I have had
my views upon that question since l re-
turned from Chicago and st. Louis, In
both of which cities l made 1t particu-
lar point to visit the courts.
7 noticed in Chicago and ST. Louis that
the criminal courts and the civil courts
are separate and distinct buildings, and
that in none of the courts, either civil
or criminal, were many persons present
except those who actually had business
there. The advantage of this separation
of the civil from the criminal courts
was at once apparent when 1t was OBJ
served the class of people who were in
attendance as parties and witnesses. II
was in striking contrast with the condi-
tion that may be seen every day on the
third floor of our courthouse, when the
three divisions of the city court and the
11rSl DIVISION Oh the cFluliiul court are
in session. The example set by Chicago
and st. Louis in the separation of the
civil and criminal courts is worth follow
ing.
Suppose, then, that we had in Birming-
ham a replica of the Memphis courthouse
we could exchange our present courthouse
for the city hall, and thus we would have
far more imposing and convenient mu-
nicpal building and we could use the
present city hall for public purposes. In
stead of erecting a ten-story building or
the site of the present county jail, q
three or four-story building would be
found amply sufficient to give accommo-
dalton for county prisoners and county
criminal courts, as well as city prisoners
The police courts could be held in the
rooms at present used by the judges OF
the inferior civil courts, and the inferior
civil courts removed to the new civil
| courthouse. The present city hall could
be used as a public library and reading
room on the second floor; the third floor
could be used for public meetings and
conventions, and the fourth floor for the
armory. These suggestions are Offered
merely as an answer to the question OF
What shall be done with the present
courthouse?" - f. ]. MONKS.

TWO KINDS OF ADS.

To real estate advertisers in
search of a quick market the advice
of Joseph P. Day, a New York real
estate broker who believes in live
advertising i'm live mediums, ought
to be especially valuable. Mr.. Day
says: "The sort of man you are try
ing to reach determines somewhat
the style and size of an advertise
ment. The man who knows what
he wants and is looking for it may
search for your small advertisement
In the crowd. But he will surely
see your advertisement if you okfer
what he wants prominently. But the
man who doesn't know that he
wants any property at all or who
does not know what he wants IN the
line of real estate will never search
the columns tOr lltJle ADVERTISEMENTS
He is like a man on the other side
of the street-you've got to yell at
him to stop him. For this class OF
man your advertisement must be so
prominent and talk SO fast and so
much to the point that it will stop
the man who is hurrying through
his newspaper"
The margin of profit in a real
estate transaction is usually large
enough to justify the modest expen-
dlture required for prominent dis
play advertising In first-class news
paper.

Ironwork In India,

India was the first country which

Of the Christian era the Indian blade
was the most used throughout the
