Another Shorty Story.

Going Through With Alec is the title
Of one Of Sewell Fords Shorty McCabe
stories that appears in our next Sunday
Magazine. In all probability. according
to a majority OF our readers. it will be
considered among the best Shorty tales
we have printed. Alec had been victim
ized by an exceedingly clever promoter
Of a worthless tract in Florida, who was
selling town lots where purchasers of
acreage would have been skinned"
After he had spent all the money he
had and could raise-with the result that
he lost one of his children through lack
Of nourishment and unwholesome sur
roundings. and depicting his own health
and that Of his wife-the victim came
back to the man who had rescued" him
from poverty-ahd was received as a
tramp would be. This was the time for
Shorty to appear on the scene-which
he did. with disastrous result for the
man who kicked him off the place. The
story has never had q superior among
the scores Of Shorty tales we have pub
lished.

LOVE AND MEDICINE.
Romance of Young Physician i
Western Mining Town.

Little Mister Doctor ought to have
been in our Prize Story Competition; but
it happened to come in too late for that
purpose. 1t appears in our next Sunday
Magazine. 1t is a good story, one of the
best we have printed in long time. and
the fame Of the author also adds to its
prestige. The hero was a young ply
stefan. who, through a number of per-
sonal circumstances, had to take the job
Of taking care of the employees of a
mine in the west. However, the latter
had had a physician Of their own who
looked after their personal comfort of
the moment. rather than their permanent
welfare. and. on account Of the peculiar
medicine that he administered, they got
into rather bad fix.
It was made up to the new little
mister doctor" to make everything all
right: which he did, although he was
not popular while he was overcoming the
influence of his predecessor OF course,
there had to be love interest in the
tale-for that Is one Of our Sunday Maya
zines requirements-andt that love expert
ence had to terminate happily.

WANT
NEGRO DROPPED
American Bar Association
Will Be Asked to Re-
move Lewis

Montgomery. August 7.-(Special.)-
Alabama delegates to the American Bar
association convention at Milwaukee
the latter part of this month will ask
that the name of the Boston negro,
Lewis, be dropped from the rolls of the
organization. A large number of
southerners have refused to attend the
meetings of the bar associat ton because
Lewis is a member.
The stand taken by Alabamians is
that the association is a semi-social
organization and that the negro has
been placed on a basis of social equal
ity with white people.
Judge John Pelham of the state
court of appeals. a delegate to the
convention, has put himself on rec
ord as being opposed to Lewis as a
member of the association Governor
O'Neal will also probably vote against
Lewis and Judge Edward de Graffen-
ried will probably take the same stand.
Lewis is Assistant Attorney General
of the United States and was formerly
district attorney at Boston. He was adj
mitted to the bar association last year.
