We're to be seen limping along the roads.
I met a number who had received no
medical treatment, although their wounds
were several days old, and they were
making their way as best they could to
the nearest hospital. On two or three
occasions ] saw men come to the hos
pitals with serious wounds which had
never even been bandaged, although the
wounds were over a week old and blood
poisoning had already set in. Men were
brought In whose eyes had been gouged

as if time had in some manner turned

THE UNDRESSED GIRL

Kate Epson Clark, in Leslies.
If those girls and women expect to OBJ
tain happiness" by wearing stockings,
skirts and waists which expose as much
of their bare skin as they can show with
out being arrested, they are going to be
violently disappointed. Let them read al
most any one of the great philosophers,
ancient or modern. and they will find that,
widely as they disagree on almost any
other point, they will agree on this: that
happiness is 'by-product"-and that it
seldom or never comes to those who seek
directly after it. but results from working
away day by day at that commonplace
and unattractive thing called duty" The
wearing of immodest clothing leads just
the other way from happiness.

customed to the best society--said the

Schools and Colleges

Many of the schools have opened for
the 1913-14 term and within the next
week or 10 days all the schools and
colleges will be busy. OF the institu-
tions of learning already opened the
enrolment has been large-in some
cases exceptionally large; and there
is promise for large enrolment for
the schools and colleges that will open
next week. The increasing interest in
education is gratifying and signifi-
cant.
In the cities the public schools have
had high standing for many years,
and it is worthy of note that in the
colleges and universities of Alabama
the standard has been raised within
the past two or three years and the
curricula broadened. But the most
noteworthy fact of all is that parents
of all conditions in life realize now
more than ever the necessity of an
education for the boy, and the girl,
too, as for that matter, ambitions to
rise and make a record in useful
achievement.
The manual training departments in
the public schools and in night schools
are doing excellent work. There will
always be hewers of wood and draw
ers of water. Common labor will al
ways be needed to help in the worlds
work, but even the 'so-called common
laborer will make himself more eff
ficient if he has some education. AS
for mechanics, education is becoming
an essential.
All honor to the educators of Ala
bama. They form splendid body of
men and women and their work is be-
ing more and more appreciated.

JAvERT AND JEROME

From the Chicago Record Herald.
One of our friends, referring to proto-
types, nominates Inspector Javert and
william Travers Jerome as a "fine pair.
The suggestion is hardly fair to Javert,
who was always actuated by an exag-
gerated sense OF duty. His persecution Of
Jean Vatican was not due to a desire for
personal advancement or pecuniary gain.
He merely had q crazy idea that he must
enforce the law, no matter If, in doing SO,
he happened 10 outrage virtue or punish
innocence. once Mr.. Jerome loomed as
almost heroic figure in the Thaw affair.
At present he seems anything but heroic.
Aside from any claims that Thaw may
have upon innocence or virtue, one finds
it difficult to believe that Jerome is urged
by simple desire to serve the state OF

From the Saturday Evening Post.
An Irish widow who lives in a small
frame house in the West Side in Chicago
has a still smaller cottage in the rear
of her house that she rents to an aged
Irish woman who lives alone and rarely
stirs out.
Not long ago the landlady was telling
the tenant of some things she had seen
in the paper and said: AN them Turks
and Bulgarians. They do be hahn a ter
rible time. Twas only yesterday that
the Turks grabbed thin by the hair an
pulled thin down the street.
GLORY be; that's awful!' exclaimed
the tenant. Then she sighed and added:
That's Just it. though; you never see
anything when you live in the rear"
