Yes. Marian was like that" he
agreed. NO man could feel that way
with Marian for a wife. How she

"Of course she would. That's what
women are for, to bolster men up in
hours of gloom and keep them from

Men get the credit for doing things.

few of them ever made any great sue

SACKING A THEATER.
What New Yorkors In 1765 Did For an
Offensive Play.

What New Yorkors In 1865 Did For an
Offensive Play.
Here is an account of the sacking Of
a theater in New York from the Ga
zette of that city of May 8, 1765:
"The play advertised to be acted last
Monday evening having given offense
to sundry and divers inhabitants Of
this city, who thought it highly i'm
proper that such entertainment should
be exhibited at this time Of public dis
tress, when great numbers Of poor peo-
pie can scarce find means Of subsist-
ence, whereby many persons might be
tempted to neglect their business and
squander that money which is neces-
sary to the payment Of their debts and
the support of their families, a rumor
was spread about the town that If the
play went on the audience would meet
with some disturbance from the multi
tude.
This prevented the greatest part of
those who intended to have been there
from going. However. many people
came, and the play was begun, but
soon interrupted by the multitude, who
burst open the doors and entered with
noise and tumult The audience es-
capped In the best manner they could.
Many lost their hats and other articles

tured and was yesterday trepanned.

he was heard to whisper with dismay:

umph was complete"
The Mirror added that the Prince of
Wales sent an emissary to Beau Brum-
mel to learn the secret Of the wonder
ful creation In neckwear and that
Brummel sent back word, Tell your
master that you have seen his master"
1t was not until his debts forced him
to fee from England and to take the
obscure position Of British consul at
Caen. in France. where he contracted
more debts and finally died insane in
1910, that the secret Of the cravat be-
came known. The Mirror said:
There was found after his depar-
ture written upon a sheet Of paper
upon his table the following epigram
OF scorn: Starch is the man.
1.-THE cravat Of Brummel was merely
starched. Henceforth starch was intro
duced into every cravat in Europe."-

disease. When the bowels become
clogged with refuse from the stom-
ach, foul gases and poisons are gen
Grated, and unless the congestion is
quickly relieved the system becomes
weakened and most susceptible to at

Various remedies to relieve consti-
patton are prescribed, but many Of
these contain cathartic or purgative
agents that are harsh and violent in
their action and shock the system. The
most effective remedy is the combina-

The Hon. John D. Keister of Bran

mild, yet positive, in its action, and
that it should be in every household

REUNION HERE HAS
 BEEN WELL ADVERTISED

The press bureau in charge of the publicity for the Confederate Vet erans reunion has planned one of the broadest campaigns of advertising that has ever featured gathering in Bir- mingham. The bureau has sent in- formation to over 300 daily papers in the 13 southern states including Ala bama, Georgia. North and South Car olina, Virginia. Kentucky, West Vir- ginia, Texas, Oklahoma Tennessee, Louisiana Mississippi and Florida. In addition to the 300 dailies covered the press department has sent plate mat ter to every weekly paper in the 13 states mentioned through the Western Newspaper union of this city. By this method it is believed that every news paper reader in the 13 states will be fully informed of the plans for the entertainment and care Of the veterans when they colle to the reunion in May. It has been suggested through the pub licity bureau that this may be the last and certainly one of the very few remaining reunions to be held by the heroic army and this will, it is be- lieved, cause thousands of admirers of the old soldiers to avail them selves the opportunity of meeting with them in Birmingham.
 The publicity department is in charge of a committee of newspaper men of which John A. Sparrow is chairman and Leon w. Friedman is vice chair man.

FLORENCE NORMAL

Although I never saw a school teacher who would not admit that his institution was doing better than ever before we are really making fine prog ress at the State Normal school at Florence" said H. J. Willingham, pres ident, who is in Birmingham for the meeting of the Alabama Educational association. "Our enrolment now for the first time in the history of the school Is 400 school teachers. and we are crowded to the doors.
 There has been vast awakening over the state in the last few months as to the value of teacher training, and as a result the normal schools all over the state are in better condition today than ever before. There is expended in the state of Alabama each year be- tween S4,000,000 and S5,000,000 upon the schools. The teachers get the greater part of that and unless the money is to be wasted the teachers must be efti- cient. It. is the purpose of teacher training to make them efficient, and think that We are succeeding. For this reason teacher training I regard as the most important problem touching our educational system
 "The laws passed by the late legis- lature affecting this problem were very beneficial, too. an dtaking all things into consideration, I think that the nor maj schools of the entire state are mak- ing remarkable progress, and that the state at large will not be slow to feel the effects"

READING CIRCLE WORK

Ut is not generally known just how much work the Alabama Reading cir cle is doing in the state, said J. R. Rutland of the Alabama Polytechnic in stitute at Auburn, who is chairman of the board of directors of the circle. "The object of the organization is the cultivation of the taste for good books among the students and the instruction of teachers in proper reading. Last year CHA books for teachers were dis tributed and 32,300 for students.
 For this purpose each year there is selected group of books for teacher reading This list usually includes five titles and is composed of one sub- ject of general cultural interest; last year we had Hilary Herbert's work on Reconstruction, a book on teaching methods, book on discipline and similar topics. A teacher reads three of these and after four years is given a reading circle diploma.
 The United States bureau of educa- tion recently has formed a national reading circle, with which our state association is affiliated, and to which admission is gained by the presenta- ton of a state diploma. This associa- tion takes the teacher further along than the state association had done.

PAYS TEACHERS FARES

''The city of Selma has such a kindly feeling toward the Alabama Educational association that it pays the transporta- tion of all teachers. both white and col ored, to the conventions of the associa- tion," said A. H. Harmon of Selma su- perintendent of the city schools there. ''The Selma instructors are not slow to avail themselves of the opportunity and we usually have a full attendance of both white and colored teachers.
 Selma has one of the most unique sys- tems of school government of any city with which l am familiar in that the board of education is self-perpetuating and the members sit for life. This situa- ton grew out of the amalgamation with the city schools of the old Dallas acad- cmy an ante-bellum institution, and comes as near being ideal as anything of which I know.
 'The Dallas academy was a private institution and is even until this day despite the fact that it is unit in the grammar school system of Selma. There was passed by the legislature during the administration of Governor Seay an act making the board of trustees of the Dal- las academy the governing board of the city schools and self-perpetuating ana for life tenure
 This has worked better than the fond est anticipations of it's founders, and to be a member of the board is esteemed one of the highest honors In Selma.

DETECTIVES SCORE
 WHEN NOTED CASE
 ENDS|N CONVICTION
Alexander and Phillips Con- victed of RObbing McKel- vey Store Officers Fired
 as Result of Arrests

Detectives Eugene Eubank and Rob- ert Crenshaw were vindicated in their ac- ton following the robbery of J. w. Me Kelvey's grocery store and meat mar ket on Charles street and Tuscaloosa ave- nue, West End, November 21, 1915 when the jury which had been hearing the case in the criminal court for the Npast three days returned verdict of guilty of burglary in the case of Bob Alexander and G. w. Phillips late yesterday after noon.
 It will be remembered that Alexander and Phillips were arrested after being seriously wounded in battle with De- tectives at West End on November 21. The men had entered the grocery store of MT. Mckelvey and footed the cash register and were preparing to crack the safe when frightened out by an automo- bile light When they came out of the store they were closed in on by Detec- tives Crenshaw, Eubank. Smith and Will Hams. who had been tipped off to the robbery earlier in the evening. A battle between the detectives and the yeggmen followed in which the yeggs were wound ed and captured
 A few days following the capture of the burglars, Detectives Eubank and Crenshaw were discharged from the ser vice of the city for refusing to disclose to Commissioner Arlie Barber, recently put in charge of public safety, their i'm formants. MT. Barber gave as a reason for the act that they were removed flor cause Mir. Barbers action at the time was highly criticized and good deal of public interest was manifested in the affair. The detectives were asked re- peatedly to tell who told them of the plot to rob the store by Commissioner Barber, but refused on the grounds that they were honor bound not to reveal the name of their informant. Later Detec- tives Williams and Smith were dis charged flor cause" by Mir. Barber in connection with the same case
 The two men were convicted on a charge of burglary late yesterday after noon after the jury had been out for sev- eral hours They were tried on two charges, one for burglary and another for assault with intent to murder, but were only convicted of the burglary charge. The trial began Tuesday morning before Judge William E. Fort in the first di- vision of the criminal court, and the case was given to the jury shortly before noon yesterday.
 Alexander and Phillips were thought to have been connected with various safe cracking and robbing expeditions, and since their arrest November 2, 1915. there has been no safe-craclling jobs pulled off here, according to Eugene Flu bank.
 The following statement was made by J. Paul Jones. attorney for Alexander and Phillips, after the trial:
 ''The verdict rendered today in the case of Alexander and Phillips is considered with favor, having in mind the limited

EMPHASIZES SOCIAL WORK

q think one of the features of the 1916 meeting of the Alabama Educa- tional association, which the teachers of the state will long remember will be the social side" said C.. E. Glenn, chairman of the reception and enter tainment committed "Our committee has planned a number of things by which we hope to make the teachers feel q little more proud of being in structors of youth than they have been.
 The committee has had prepared a little booklet which will be guide book to teachers from out of town. It contains complete light of the school teachers of Birmingham with their resi- dence address and telephone numbers so that friends from out of town may have no trouble locating them.
 "Of course, the principal social fea- ture of the convention will be the re- ception at the Tutwiler tonight, but in addition the committee has provided for a number of additional courtesies which I am sure the visitors will en- j0y"

Some of the Things in Which Visiting
 Educators of Alabama Are Interested

As you may know, the system of schools in Mobile is somewhat different from that in any other county, said S, bile. "The county and city schools of Mobile are under a single system. That is, we have but one directing head and one board of education
 "The citizens of the county and city are thoroughly awake to the need of schools and about two months ago bond issue of $150,O00 was voted for the erection of pleased to note that the citizens of Mo bile voted for the issue almost unani- mously, although not cent of the money will be expended in the city.
 Recently, the board of education ap- propriated 5000 for a school survey. A school survey is to the educational sys- tenn what an audit is to a business en- terprise. We employ experts to check us up to tell us if we are making mis- takes and to commend us if we are mak- ing progress in the right direction. This audit will be done by experts and will cover the entire county. We were par ticularly anxious to have it done before we spent any of our bond money.
 Our motto among the rural schools of Mobile has been concentration. In a comparatively short while we have abol- ished 24 rural schools and now have 2 wagons in operation transporting pupils to and from schools At first there was some objection on the part Of a few of the parents, but when they found what
