So Mary went on her way, her empty

by the thought that the old familiar
companion of the being she had loved
best in the world, Aunt Janet, would
always be at her side.
Nellie found an unexpected use for
the contents OF the work basket. Some
new people had moved Into the great
rambling place next to them, which
had stood idle for several years. There
was a studlous appearing man OF about
thirty, an old lady, apparently his
mother, and four small children. Mel.
lie had learned that the name OF the
gentleman was Chester Dorset, that
he was single, In business In the city.
and that the children belonged TO
brother who, with his wife, was away
on vacation tour. Mr.. Dorset had
come to the little country town to give
the children an outing until fall, his
aged mother undertaking their care.
"Such care |" more than once Nellie
had exclaimed to herself as she saw
the little ones running wild. They had
a famous time amid glorious brook,

 ocular way told the saesprson the skirt being sold by Steele Smith for 2 98a dollar less The of department hearing the remark took seriously to heart and immediately the of the saesperson and assured the customer that if SeeeSmt could sell the garment $298 they could also And very obgingly he sold her pecoa for $2 instead of for the price original ly asked
 The customer explanations and embarrassment pur chased the garment and thought it quite joke that the mentioning of Steee to competitor would save her dollar purchase But when the customer later the same pecoa SteeeSmths plainly marked for $196 in
 stead the price 2 98 she had quoted she the joke on herself and not on the merchant.
 The moral of all is: You shouldn't try to beat person at his game If merchant has two prices, let him. But let him sell others sn pleasant to hagge and re not

Cowart's Statement

''The count in the indictment on which was convicted in the lower court at Montgomery today was purely a tech- nical allegation,'' declared Lee Cowart former commissioner of immigration, upon his return to Birmingham last night. There were eight counts in the indictment against me, and seven of them were held invalid. The one count upon which I was found guilty and fined $50 is not serious one I immediately made bond and appealed the case to the appellate court, and I am not at all worried over the outcome of the matter in the higher court.
 "The count upon which I was convicted did not allege any wilful misappropria- ton of state funds AS a matter of the fact, I could not, under the law, have placed the money in the state treas- ury, nor could this money have been paid out by the state treasury. I expect to be exonerated at the trial of the case which will come up in the court Of ap- peals in May

BONDING ORDINANCE bEbORE:COMM|SS|ON Weatherly May Oppose the Measure, States Ward.

Today's meeting of the city commits sion will mark the resumption of the ''jitney" war among the commissioners.
 The .jitney' bonding ordinance will come up for consderat ton tomorrow" ," said Commissioner Ward last night. and anticipate trouble from Commissioner Weatherly on the matter. MT Weatherly is called 'Jitney' Jim, but he will be called 'Juggernaut' Jim if he continues to defend this particular class of auto mobiles as they ruthlessly knock down persons and kill them on the public streets.
 The iitney' bonding ordinance means that if passed, these irresponsible drlv- CTS who have not niclsle in the world but the car they drive would immediately he liable for damages once they injured a person. As it is now, a jitney' runs over a prominent lady, the chauffeur is placed in jail for few days, then he secures bond and months later after the Eullaballoo is over, his case is nolle pressed and the commission forgets about lltneys until another child or woman Is killed. l want these irresponsible driv- CTS bonded and bonded right now
 Other than the jitney fracas the com- missioners will receive the report of Com missioner Weatherly on the viaduct prop ositions of the railroads. It is understood that MT. Weatherly will recommend that the city turn down fistly both proposi- tlons of the railroads, and thus open the way to more negotiations to the end that the railroads offer to construct a new viaduct at Twenty-first street al their own expense without the city con- tributing a penny
 Commissioner Arlie Barber is also slated to deliver his weekly oration on the soar ing price of gasoline, as the quotation of this fuel advanced another penny.
