DRIVING THE BOYS TO
THE CITIES.

Dothan, Alabama is one of the hustl-
ing and thriving cities of our New
South. 1t has about 5000 inhabitants
and is growing, 1t supports two daily
papers and otherwise seems to be shaking
off the lethargy which is popularity
supposed to have kept back most
southern towns. But Dothan like many
other towns has its milestone in the
shape of puritanical reformers-sour
souled creatures who cannot bear to see
others enjoyin themselves. A month past
it his been the custom for the boys
and young men of the town to gather
every afternoon on what might be
called the "village green" and amuse
themselves with impromptu boxing
matches. 1t was great sport and many
of the business men stopped for few
moments to watch the young fellows
give and take with the gloves. No
one was hurt, no morals were spoiled,
the fun was being had on the Main
street and absolutely in the open.
There were no prizes nor gambling
just good, clean, healthful, manly sport.
1t harmed nobody and benefited many.
But just as it was becoming an institu-
ton, enter the reformer. Boxing
Horrible! Stop it at once!" The
sheriff was notified. The law stepped
in and the young men were forbidden to
continue their sport. The sheriff says
he acted upon plant" Dollars
to buttons the complainant is the Towr
Kicker, probably man who has done
more to hold Dothan back than any
other ten men in the community. The
boys viii doubtless continue to hole
their boxing matches, but will sneak
away, like lawbreakers, to some seclud'
ed barn or back room where they vii
continue until driven from those places
And they will resent interference. they
will blame the poor sheriff, then vii
become sore on the town and after 6
few more such experiences, will shake
the dust of Dothan from their feet anc
will strike out for the larger cities
where they Think there will not be So
much interference with their persona

matches and their other clean, manly
sports. That's the way to keep the
Young fellows from flocking to
the cities. Other towns are doing it
and are reaping the benefits. In the
latter class of towns the reformers are
going to seed. They can find nothing

Once upon time man remembered
that the day was the tenth anniversary
of his wedding and he brought home
some flowers and candy to his wife and
gave her a kiss And it took eight
doctors nine days to restore the poor
woman from the effect of the shock.
After sizing up the people he meets
every day, man can't understand way
any blamed fool would want to be a
Cannibal.
It is funny, but it is a fact. The
Rich think the Poor are Extravagant
and the Poor think the Rich are Stingy.
There are all sorts of people in the
world, including the human hog who
eats five times a day and roars about
the Evils of the Liquor Habit.
If you hate man you also regard
his dog as the sneakingest, orneryest
brute in the world.
We have just had a peek at the new
winter lingerie. No it wasn't being

popular garment is the Umbrella Com
bination and it is about as big as a

| at the waist and it dosen't reach to the
knees. The dear things wear this and get

of the valour displayed by the regi-
ment at Pervyse, where they defled
under murderous fire from the en-
emy between two hedges to the relief
of their comrades in the trenches.
The 7th are followed by their dog
transport Harnessed two by two
these wonderfully trained animals
draw their lightly butt carts. Perfect
order prevails among these sagacious
friends of man." Without guides
from the other, following the column
hey keep their distance, one team
with never an attempt at breaking
away They know their work we'll and
perform it with a sense of duty.
In one of the teams the dog on the
right attracts much attention. He
has been wounded. A big bandage en-
velops his head, and many are the
words of encouragement shouted to
him as he passes sedately by strain
ing at his traces made of cord, his
stump of a tail wagging furiously
the while. In no other way does he
seem in the slightest degree impress
ed. His att ude is energetic, but
grave. The regiment passes on, the
dogs follow, and again the gallant 7th
has gone forward to help in the de-
liverance of its beloved country.
At one time their trenches were SO
close to those of he enemy that dur
ing an occasional lull in the fighting
they threw beetroot into the German
Ines, into which they stuck messages
announcing the name of their regi-
mentt and their in entions towards
their antagonists, which, l am told,
were anything but reassuring.

Northern France. Dec %.

Fumes has become one of The busi-
est towns in the whole theater of
war. It's well butt houses and orderly
streets are full of the brave sons of
Belgium and France. Furnes is the
advance sentinel in whose ear the un-
ceasing and not far distant sound of
cannon is ever present. The eyes of
suffering Belgium are Eurned in hope
toward her.
In the center of the town are many
trophies of war drawn up upon the
place." for here are some seven or
eight Of the heavy German mortars
abandoned by the enemy in the flooded
districts round Dismude. These en-
gines, which did serious damage
among the Allies trenches, are cum
brous. unwieldly, and shick-set.
Suddenly ones attention is diverted
from these spoils Of war. A regi-
ment marches by. It's not at first SO
easy to recognize it, so mud-stained
are the men, so few are the distin-
gushing marks and numbers left in
It's ranks. Then, in moment, no
doubt is left 1t is tho gallant 7th of
the Belgian line. This is the regi-
men that fought so wei at Liege in
the early days of August, when in a
few hours, they lost half 'aheir num-
Der, putting up stubborn and glori-
Gus resistance against overwhelming
odds between the forts of that town

following withering fire Of literary

WON BY TAXICAbS
BATTLE Of MARINE
Automobile Service of French Army
Responsible for Defeat of
General Won kluck.
Paris, December %.

drlS, DeceInDer "a.
1t is not generally known tina tn
Battle of the Marne was won by auto
mobiles. General Galieni had 400
taxicabs and other light motor cars
at his disposal 1t will be remen-
bered that Won Kluck, with the righ
of the German army, got as far as
Champiley. General Gallieni, as mill
tary governor of Paris, had a large
force, probably half million men,
at his disposal and he was responsible
for the defense of Paris.
Gal ieni figured that he had more
men than he really needed and that
10000 of his men cou.d be spared
for work at the front.
Ac ing entirely upon his own re-
sponsibllity, he ordered his men to
crowd into the automobiles. He mad
each taxicab carry nine soldiers. l.
was a curious sight. There were two
In each seat, two on the hood, one
with the driver and one on each run
ming board.
Within six hours he threw the whole
10000 against the flank of the Ger
mans at Meaux, about 35 miles from
Paris Won K.uck evidently had not
reckoned with such a sortie and was
forced to stop and give battle. The
French, retiring on his front, re-
formed and gave battle. The result
was the retreat of the Germans from
Marne to the Aisne after the SAN
culinary battle named from the first
river.
This is only one Of the great ex-
ploits of the French army automobile
transport service. No other nation
IN this war has used the motor car
with the effectiveness of the French.
The automobile transport service is
organized as separate branch. Work
ing with amazing rapidity just after
he beginning of the war, the French
army officers drafted into this corps
men who had been employed in auto
mobile manufacture-fore ski led
workmen, testers and drivers. The
officers were drawn from the manu-
facturers, agents and other heads of
automobile organizations. The heav-
lest trucks are used for ammunition
carriers and lighter commercial We
hicles for the food supply. General
Mongin commands the whole corps.
Some noted French race drivers
are now in The army service. Boillot
a. ternates with the Marquis D'Albu-
fera in driving General Jeffra's car
Several machines are kept ready day
and night for General Joffra and il
is no unusual thing for him to enter
one of them and drive the whole
length Of the battle front in The course
of the night.
There are now $1,000 automobiles
| and 10000 trucks in the service of the
French army.
One of the automobile service corps
biggest feats was the transfer of 'she
British army from Braisne between
Soisne and Rheims, to st Omar, 8
distance of ITO miles. The 100000
men were transported to their new
positions within three days.

PURCHASE OF HOME FOR Y. M
C. A.

Readers of this paper will be
greatly interested in the news of the
purchase of 2S00 Glenarm street, as
the home for our Colored Mems De-
partment of the Denver Young Mems
Christian Association. This is a
consumation which a number of our
leading Colored men have had on
their hearts for . many years, and
marks the beginning of permanent
work of far reaching value to our
young men and boys.
An experimental works has been
carried on for some months, which
and others an idea of the possibili-
ties of the work.
We are informed that changes will
be made at once in the building,
whereby it will be made serviceable
for Y. M. c. A. purposes.
There is some fear expressed lest
this place become simply a loafing
place for men and boys, but those
who know how the modern Y. M. c..
A. is conducted, assure us that when
a competent secretary is in charge
the energies and spare time of the
members will be directed into useful
channels along mental, physical and
moral lines. There will be educa-
tional classes and clubs, social fea-
ty,n Dt1ln
shower baths, Bible study clubs, and
such features as usually belong to
the Y M. C. A.
The money for this purchase, which
We understand was even $2500.OO, has
already been contributed by members
of our race, and reflects great credit
upon our people Our Committee OF
Management has had the advice and
counsel of ]. B. Moorland, Interna.
tional Secretary of Washington, d. c..
and other Y. M G. A. leaders, and
has been backed by a group of local
men VINO have given of their time
and funds to the point of sacrifice.
This paper predicts that the future
work of the Association will give
those gentlemen no cause for regret
but many reasons for joy, as they
see the changed lives of young men
and boys.
The present officers of the Colored
Mems Department, by whom the
future of this property and work viii
| be managed, are as follows:
c. d. De Frantz, Chairman; ]. w
Jackson, Vice Chairman; Clarence
Langston, Secretary; S. A. Bondurant
