The foregoing stage Joke that has
been sprung on every vaudeville plat
form in tho country was given an
Illustration In everyday ;ife and was
anything but humorous Yesterday af-
ternoon in Tulsa, when Martha Brown,
the wife of "Pegleg'' Brown, GRIP
pied beggar, gave him a sound thresh-
ing with the artificial limb of hard
pine that Brown had Whitfield out
himself and strapped on the stub OF
his left leg.
The incident occurred shortly after
3 o'clock and was Witnessed by about
half dozen persons Brown had
been drinking whisky to all appear
ances, and was hobb'lng along South
Boston avenue near the high schoo'
building, engaged In a heated argu-
ment with his husky wife who was
upbraiding him for his actions.
Finally Brown slipped on the ce-
ment sidewalk and fell sprawling into
the gutter. There he lay. His wife
angry to the core, tried to pull him
to his feet, but was unsuccessful in
her attempts. So she quickly un-
strapped his wooden extremity and
gave him several sound whacks over
the head with IT.. Then she tied 1t
back in its accustomed place. Brown
got up and went staggering off, as
sisted by his better half, who held
him firmly by the arm.

NEW TRADE SCHOOL l TRUSTEES MEET
Work to Begin on New Rag land Institution About
 First of the Year

A meeting of the trustees of the Alabama Trade and Industrial school, which is to be located at Ragland, St. Clair county, was held yesterday in the parlors of the Morris hotel The board is composed of Senator Watt T. Brown of Ragland, who originated the project of the school, president; Me Lane Triton of Pell City, secretary and treasurer Jones Moore of Birmingham, G. P. Smith of Gadsden and Gardner Greene of Pell City.
 It was decided to begin the building of the institution, for. which $S0,000 was appropriated at the last session of the legislature, about the first of the year, and to open the school as early possible in 1912.
 The new school will be along the same lines as the Girls Industrial school at Monteyallo, giving boys the same kind of training as is there af- forded the girls of the state. Dr. T. w. Palmer, who is at the head of the Montevallo school, was present at the meeting yesterday, and addressed the trustees of the new school. Dr. Pal mer outlined the work done by the fe- male technical school and told of the progress being made there.
 Senator Brown was very optimistic about the future of the school. Talking after the meeting~Sof the trustees, he said that it would mean much to the country boys of the state, from whom 1t is expected the majority of its pat ronage will be drawn. It was stated that the school will in no sense be a rival of the polytechnioal institute at Auburn, but will do work preparatory to Auburn, and will, therefore, be feeder for the state college there.
 The trustees adjourned to meet at Nashville, Tenn, at the session of the Southern Bureau of Education in that city August 29

MT Chandler Is mayor of Fayette and is largely responsible for the permanent manner in which that pretty and pros- porous little Alabama town Is being rebuilt after the fire that almost wiped 1t out of existence few months ago
