The Boys Banner

"One of the most creditable publications in Alabama stated Wilbur S. Snow of Tuscaloosa last night, lis The Boys Banner the periodical of the Alabama Boys Industrial school.
 'The subject matter is good and in structive. The appearance is neat and otherwise attractive. It is a credit to the people of the entire state There is nothing else similar to it in the state.
 'The magazine is printed by the boys and a regular staff is employed. These young fellows are learning a trade, and a good one, one which will hold them in good stead after they leave the school
 News of the other departments of in dustry is contained in the magazine. note where this young boy is becoming a fine shoemaker, and where that one is fast learning to play the trombone. The school is a splendid success. There is nothing greater of it's kindsin the south

SHAKING UP THE NAVY

From the Popular Magazine.
 Bill Richardson, one of the most popu- lar newspaper men of Washington, is the fellow who shook the United States navy from stem to stern in a marvellous and unprecedented manner. Bill was recuper- atng from an illness and decided that what he needed was a sea trip. Charles E. Taylor, secretary to MT. Meyer, the Secretary of the Navy, met Richardson on the street and fell into conversation with him.
 Charlie, I've got to have a sea trip" said Bill, "and l want to take it on a battleship. l know it's not the custom for civilians to be taken as guests on these boats but I want to go. You fix it for me-
 Bill, right here Is where we break all precedents," said Taylor. You are go- ing to get that trip on a man of war
 Thereupon Bill with tears in his eyes, sobbed out his gratitude.
 It happened that Secretary Meyer was at that time in San Francisco. but Tay- Tor telegraphed him at length, and ex- planed what was wanted, asserting that Richardson deserved special recognition because of his interest in naval aaffirs. Thereupon, MT. Meyer telegraphed, sent cablegrams and used the wireless for three days and three nights, with the re- suit that one of the greatest battleships of the Atlantic fleet was ordered to put in at Norfolk and take Richardson aboard for an indefinite cruise.
 Hearing of this, Taylor rushed out, found Richardson. beat him on the back and yelled in triumph:
 Its all right, Bill! You get that trip!'' Thank you very much, Charlie" drawled Richardson, but have changed my mind. I'm not going"

THE VICAR BREACHES IN PRISON

Goldsmiths vicar of Wakefield"
 | The next morning I communicated | to my wife and children the scheme
 had planned of reforming the prisoners, which they received with universal dis appreciation, alleging the impossibility
 and impropriety of it, adding that my
 endeavors would no way contribute to their amendment, but might possibly disgrace my calling
 Excuse me-" returned I. these peo- pie, however fallen, are still men; and that is a very good title to my affect tions. Good counsel rejected, returns to enrich the giver's bosom; and though the instruction I communicate may not
 mend them, yet 1t will assuredly mend myself. If these wretches, my children, were princes, there would be thous- ands ready to offer their ministry; but | in my opinion, the heart that is buried | in a dungeon is as precious as that seated upon throne. Yes, my treas- ures, if I can mend them, l will; per haps I may catch up even one from the gulf, and that will be a great gain; for | is there upon earth gem so precious as the human soul?"
 | Thus saying, left them, and descend | ed to the common prison, where l found the prisoners very merry, expecting my arrival; and each prepared with some gaol trick to play upon the doctor. Thus, as I was going to begin, one turned my wig awry, as if by accident,
 and then asked my pardon. A second, who stood at some distance, had
 knack of splitting through his teeth, which fell in showers upon my book. A third would cry amen, In such an affected tone as gave the rest great delight. A fourth had slyly picked my
 pocket of my spectacles. But there
 was one whose trick gave more uni
 versal pleasure than all the rest; for observing the manner in which l dis posed my books on the table before me. he very dextrously displaced one
 of them and put an obscene jest book
 of his own in the place. However, l took no notice of all that this mis- chievous group of little beings could do, but went on perfectly sensible that what was ridiculous in my attempt would excite mirth only the first or second time, while what was serious
 would be permanent. My design suc-
 ceeded, and in less than six days some were penitent, and all attentive.

Call for the Water wagon

q wondered where the water wagons were Monday when the dust was so thick around Parker's corner that one could hardly breathe.' said citizen. Tt may be thought better to water the streets al night. but what I think the commission CTS should do is to water them when they are most in need of 1t.
 T noticed the soda dispensers in Park CTS drug store wash all the glasses about every five minutes. When l asked why they were doing so, one of the dispensers showed me a glass which he was about to wash. It was thickly coated with dust, and when smiled with surprise he said that to wash the glasses every five min utes was customary on the dusty days when the city did not bring out the water wagons.
 T think 1t would be of great comfort to the citizens down town if the city would sprinkle this corner every afternoon. The wind blows hard there and the dust laden air puts grime in ones face. Much of this disagreeabe dust could be eliminated il the city would bring out the water wagons in the afternoons. It is near enough spring time to do so. They would cer- tainly improve conditions"

Opening of the Tornado Season


 The Shreveport tornado and the blizzards in Texas have given the sea- son an early start in death dealing storms. Added to these were snow storms that extended from Texas to Kansas, inclusive. Altogether the southwest seems to have been visited on Monday and Tuesday by storms and high winds of great force. Scarce ly any of the storms and winds of a hard winter in the southwest were equal to those of the present week.
 The snow, however, in Kansas and Oklahoma is blessing, for it is a protection to the winter wheat crop at a critical time. In the markets the price of wheat went off because of it. It certainly is an i'll wind that blows nobody any good. The snow storm covered portions at least of Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma and Texas, all winter wheat states.
 The cold wave crossed the south eastern states yesterday and last night, and we will get touch of win ter in it's closing scenes. A wintry month of March would be eccentric, and it cannot in all reason be antici- pated. However, it would do no harm. The peach buds would be held back, and great furit crop would be added to a great winter wheat crop.

New orIenn. Leading in Mnrdi Grns

'Mardi Gras Is celebrated on grander scale in New Orleans than in any other city of the world" said w. J. Dangaix, who has spent much time abroad and who has sojourned three years at time in France Even in Rome, where the carnival has always been an institution, it is not kept up on the same large scale that 1t is in the Crescent City, Mardi Gras in Paris is an event, but 1t is not to be mentioned in the same class with the celebration in New Orleans. In Europe next to the carnival in Rome the Flower carnival in Nice seems to at- tract most attention
 New Orleans has kept up its prestige in the celebration of Mardi Gras so long time that it will continue to lead the world in this matter. I have relatives who live in Buenos Ayres. They tell me that Mardi Gras is big thing there; but it is not up to the New Orleans fes- tivity."
