TAKES FIRE IN HIS SLEEP
,,1's Nap in Buggy Cost Him His Clothes, Watch, Cash and
 Vehicle.

Taking a nap in his buggy cost Robert Green, thirty7five, of Old. bridge, near here, $42 in cash, a gold watch and chain, a suit of q, hes and a two-mile walk home.
 Green had been to visit his brother in the country, and it was after mid night when he started to drive home. He placed his lighted lantern at his feet in the buggy, and as old Dan logged along the country road Green dozed off. The lantern set fire to his trousers, and they had burned up to his knees before Green awoke. He jumped out and began to tear off his clothing. He was badly burned about the body before he had stripped 'oH the blazing garments, and then he was amazed to discover that old Dan had kept right on toward home.
 Green had to walk the two miles along the road only in his under- clothing and his shoes. He had S42 in cash in his trousers, and a gold watch and chain in his vest, but the fire made short work of these.
 When he reached home he found that the lantern had also set fire to the buggy and all that was left of it was the running gear-New Bruns- wick (N. ,.) Dispatch to the New York Sun.

ZlONiSTS HOPEFUL.

Zionist leaders among the Jews are watching with great interest the progress of the war since Turkey be- came factor, and the future of Pal estine is a problem. The defeat of Tarkey may mean the freeing of the ancient Bible land from Mohamme- dan domination and may open the way for larger realization of those nationalist hopes that have been the inspiring motive of Zionism. Rus- sia, with a kindlier feeling toward her Jewish people, who have proved most loyal in raIlying to the czar's colors, might quite conceivably lend her aid to a movement intended to restore the land of their fathers to this disinherited race.

sRiTAlN's IRISH GENERALS.

For full century the four most conspicuous British generals have been Irishmen. Wellington, the Iron Duke, had no peer in British military circles during the first half of the last century. He was Irish clear through.
 When the victor at Waterloo moved off the stage, Viscount Wolse- ley and Earl Roberts were young sters making their debut. Those two achieved greater fame during the second half of the last century than any others. Both Irish, although Roberts was born in India.
 Now Kitchener is the war lord of the British empire, and he comes from good old County Kerry, the es- sence of lrishdom.

WAR WAS PICNIC TO MAURICE
British Prince Killed Recently in France, Favorite of Queen
 Victoria.

The lamcnted Prince Maurice of Battenberg was Queen Victoria's s youngest grandchild, and was such a great favorite with the queen that he passed the first few years of his life continuously in her company.
 Just a few days before the prince's g untimelN death he wrote to a mem- Der of hls family: "I am having the time of my life. Don't bother about me. Ii IS like picnic. l com mandeered chicken and cooked it with eggs. Tell Mrs. (the princess cook), that it was better than anything she ever cooked
 Prince Maurice was the youngest son of Princess Henry of Batten- berg and first cousin of King George, He was leading his com pany of the Kings Royal Rifles at 1pres when a shrapnel bullet from bursting shell struck him and end- ed his life almost instantly.
 Prince Maurice was twenty-three years old He held the rank of lieu tenant in the army. He was the only prince born in Balmoral castle. In fact, no other prince has been born in Scotland since 1900, when Charles l was born at Dunfermline.

Wants to Settle Damages To the Editor of The Age-Herald:


 It seems to me that 1t IS about time we, the citizens of Birmingham were getting down to business, and making some kind of an adjustment of the ter rible loss of last week.
 It seems that the only point of view at the city hall is to clear their own skirts when as matter of fact it's too late. Now, it doesn't matter how much Mrs. Hudgins collected on her insurance, or whether Matthews or any of the other ex- perts we hear from at the city hall tell us the five-story wall was safe, for al- ready a small April windstorm (the first we had) has appeared and the wall fell in. and cost the lives of eight of our citi- gems and the wounding of many more, be- sides large monetary loss.
 Now. people of Birmingham, we elected by our votes the majority of our city fathers, and it seems. from all we can hear or see that they are to blame. They allowed the wall to stand; if they had ever made any attempt to force the wall down 1t would be different. but ask any of them if they have ever had under con- sideration forcing Mrs. Hudgins to tear away the wall and they will say no. Now, 1t seems to me that it is time that we were getting down to business; let's take our medicine. and not have any expen- sive lawsuits on hand.

SUSTAINS REPUTATION
 OF THE BOYS OF BESSEMER
Fred Noble Wants to Be Druggist or a Dentist, But Has Plenty of Time to Decide
By ELLIS C. HoLLuMs

Fred Noble is the name of this carrier, and he is a resident of Bessemer, which city is noted for it's production of wide awake boys who have secured places on The Age-Heraids force Of carriers. Fred Is no exception to the rule and bears out Bessemer's reputation in a manner be fitting his name
 Fred is of the opinion that The Age-Her- aid should have more readers in Besse- mer. He can see no reason why any one who ever has seen the paper should not subscribe for it. He thinks the ad- dition of more real news and less of so- ciety' from Bessemer would be a long step toward improving the paper. The in tonations in his voice as he spoke the word society" indicated the depth of his feeling, and branded him real news paper man-please note I said man.
 Fred has been with The e-Herald more than year, and his brother who was near when questioned Fred. says the boys call him "tightwad." I don't know why they should call him tightwad, and evidently he can see no justification for 1t, either, as he recently was the victor in battle with a young fellow about his own age, who called him by that name He said he might be a tightwad, but The could lick the socks offen some guys he knew who thought they were somebody And he did. He did it well. too.
 Fred has ambitions to be a druggist
