 When a pretty girl waits until she Is about 19 years old to take the whooping cough she can get lot of sympathy from people whose business it is none of

ALABAMA.s BOYS, sCHOoI.

From the Gadsden Evening Journal
 The Alabama Boys Industrial school at East Lake is one of the state institutions of Alabama which needs the indorsement and the moral support of every man, woman and child within the territory it serves.
 The claims of the institution have re- gently been brought to the attention of the Gadsden public by the appearance of the boys band here If the rest of the school is to be judged by the band, and we are told that it is. then Alabama has something of which she may be proud in- deed.

From Berlin comes the strange an- nouncement of D. W. Ewald, a German engineer of some repute, that during the dry season the water in the locks of the Panama canal will not average more than IS feet in depth. and that at no season will the water be sufficient to float the largest class of warships and ocean liners He places the maximum depth at 90 feet, and that for only comparatively small portion of the year. There has been no expression of apprehension of such q character on the part of the American engineers engaged in the workings of the canal and it seems incredible that such skilled professionals should have proceed ed in their work as far as they have without being aware of the probability of such a contingency should one exist. The German critic has preferred no arr gument in support of his predictions, and if he did it would probably be as shal- low the water which he claims to fore see

 Last night, as l lay in bed half asleep, I was suddenly inspired with one of the most glorious ideas that ever poped into the head of mortal man. Knowing that the thoughts which come to a man in that state cf mind are more fleeting than dreams, determined to impale the idea al once. In the dark I groped for my rad and pencil, and, in feverish haste, wrote page after page of sparkling lines. At last utterly fatigued, but tri- uInphant in the accomplishment of a wonderful work l sank back into slum- her.

 Hear me out, my friend, then pity me. In the morning, when I hurried to the light to scan the product of my inspiration, l nearly dropped to the floor in faint. The pages were entirely blank"
