Burlesque Instead of Business

M MOTHER vaudeville performance of the city commission 6A held yesterday It indeed burlesque upon the serious affairs of the city of Birmingham
 President Ward made much ado what he termed the nnuaons Herald reporter and spoke of having protested to the editor of Age Herald against sending
 chronc personal enemy down here report councils
 flor the purpose of ignoring mertorou work and insnu
 atng incompetent work; and who personally opposed to some of the members of the commission
 Mayor Commissioner Ward did refer to Mr. Ryall the tenn porary AgHerad reporter conversation with the editor The days ago He did state that he did not believe MT. Ryal was friendly to him.
 In response this statement the editor of The AgeHerald
 stated Mr. Ward that several members of the local staff of The Ageerad had volunteered of the United army and that it's local staff very much depleted that Mr. Rya who had many years been the secretary of the editor of The Age Herald temporarily filling that position again order to help to speak, the depleted force of The Herald and that he had been requested by the editor temporarily report the city hall proceedings Mir Rya doing this extra work and the best of his ab ty pending the employment and assignment of city hall porter
 It is regretted that Mr. should attempt to make public capital out of udge that he might have had against the gentleman who aiding The AgeHerad in temporary reporting Mr. Rya has something say in another column and has declined to further report city hall proceedings after MT. Wards comments
 Therefore commencing this morning Mr. Jeff Bailey of The Herads local staff will report the city hall and he will tell both of the merits and deerts of Commissioner Ward and every other member of the Birmingham city
 Mr. Bailey has held political office and would hold He has both brawn and he is as ndepen ent a woodsawyer.
 If he tell every truth both the silly and eri performances of the Birmingham city commission every day, The AgeHerad will get another reporter wherever might have go for who will tell the daily facts about what this supposedly business body of Brnng is doing

LUKE M,LUKr SAYS

People are always willing to listen to reason when the reasoning happens ito coincide with their views.
 It isn't a pleasant thing to say. But it is fact that you can often do your fellow down.
 Don't holler about your lot in life. If some other fellow had your rights, you would regard them as special privileges.
 When man reaches the age of 50 he knows a lot of things he would be willing to sell for 99 per cent less than the information cost him.
 The movies have reduced the cost of courting. It used to cost a man at least $2 to take girl to show. But now adays he can take her to show, treat her to chewing gum and still have a jitney left out of his two-bit bank roll.
 can't laugh at joke at his own ex- pense who Is always trying to play jokes on some other man?
 It must be tough on those total ab- stainers In dry states who helped vote the state dry to discover that they Ican't send away $4 and get four quarts and a corkscrew Always try to remember that the things that bring you enjoyment may bring your neighbor torment. Some men may be in doubt as to the location of hell. But any dyspeptie can tell you that it is located in the stomach

SIR GALAHAD

But oer he dark glory spreads.
 And gllds the driving hail. leave the plain, I climb the height; No branchy thicket shelter yields! But blessed forms in whistling storms Fly OCT waste fens and windy fields. A maiden knght-to me is given
 Such hope, I know not fear; yearn to breathe the airs of heaven That often meet me here. muse on joy that will not cease,
 Pure spaces clothed in living beams, Pure lilies of eternal peace,
 Whose odors haunt my dreams; And stricken by an angels hand,
 This mortal armor that I wear. This weight and size, this heart and eyes, Are touched. and turned to finest air. The clouds are broken in the sky,
 And through the mountain walls rolling organ harmony
 Swells up, and shakes and falls, Then move the trees, the copses nod,
 Wings flutter, voices hover clear: 70, just and faithful knight of God!
 Ride on. the prize Is near" So pass l hostel. hall and grange;
 By bridge and ford. by park and pale, All armed I ride. who e'er betide.
 Until find the Holy Grail.

crops; no, but the kind of men the coun- try turns out Mckinley our martyred President said: "A government like ours rests upon the intelligence, morality and patriotism of the people
 On this glorious Fourth of July when the heart of our American manhood and wcmanhood is answering to the rich legacy bequeathed to us by our forbears, America is but another word for liberty. And as our boys are now on the soil of France fighting side by side with the descendants of the gallant La Fayette, let us rededlcate ourselves to our country.
 Yes, the Statue of Liberty in New York harbor, the gift of the French na- tion to her sister republic, Is the fitting emblem of the humane, liberty-loving spirit of the American people, which well comes the oppressed and hunger-smitten of al the earth to this great land of freedom equality and abundance, and now unsheathes the sword to battle at the call of President Wilson "to safe guard the democracy of the world"
 
 In the language of the Sage of Con- ccrd we conclude: America Is another word for opportunity. Our whole his- tory appears like last effort of divine providence in behalf of the human race.'

EPHEMERAL SLANG

Robert P. Utter, in Harper's Magazine
 A man in middle life recalls the slang of his boyhood with some such indul-i gent wonder as that with which an elderly woman looks at the fashion plates of her early youth-"snide." cheese it." "sheeny," chestnut" ''spoony." or even those of more recent coinage, snap" "skidoo" "twenty-three," thirty cents," they were artificially charged with meaning, and their effervescence is ire trievably gone. Lemon" and lobster are nearly as flat. With disappearance of a certain kind of early Victorian prudery has gone the vogue of such terms as ''inexpressibles' for trousers. Du Maurier's once famous novel has al- most reached the vanishing point in the perspective of time and we no longer speak of feet as "Trilbys." It Is not safe, however. to prophecy that because a word came from a proper name 1t will fade as fades the fame or notoriety of the person. We have forgotten what Plagiarism is, but we still understand "Bowdlerize" "F1etcherize" may yet make Fletcher immortal. even as "der- rick" preserves in the dictionaries the name of once famous hangman.

Camp Not Monotonous

Life in the camp at Montgomery is often pictured as the height of monotony and restlessness," said Clyde Watson private of Company B, Fourth regiment Alabama National Guard. This is in accurate. It may be true that change to military life has not been more pleas ant for some, but as I have observed the situation here I have concluded that majority of the soldiers in this camp are enjoying it. Something new comes up nearly every day We are well cared for and are under good supervision Our hopes are high just at this time that we will soon leave for France. The entire camp seems enthused over the prospects of going"

By Tennyson.
 My good blade carves the casques of men, My tough lance thrusteth sure,
 My strength is as the strength of ten. Because my heart is pure. The shattering trumpet shrilleth high, The hard brands shiyer on the steel,
 The splintered spear shafts crack and fly, The horse and rider reel They reel, they roll in changing lists And when the tide of combat stands. Perfume and flowers fall in showers. That lightly rain from ladies' hands.
 How sweet are looks that ladies bend On whom their favors fall! For them I battle till the end To save from shame and thrall; Bur all my heart is drawn above, My knees are bowed in crypt and shrine: I never felt the kiss of love, Nor maiden's hand in mine. More bounteous aspects on me beam, The mightier transports move and thrill; So keep I fair through faith and prayer | virgin heart in work and will. l When on my goodly charger borne | Through dreaming towns with snow. The tempest crackles on the leads, l And ringing, springs from brand and
 mail.

 We have just completed the hardest month of the year at the postoffice, ' said Postmaster R. B. smyer yesterday.
 The government allows each man IS days absence each year, and most of them save their days all the year in the fear that something special will come up Along about the end of our year, which Is on July 1, whole droves of them commence leaving at the same time to use up the days they have accumulated
 Tn the place of these men we have to put inexperienced men who are not so competent to carry on the work. For this reason we have more complaints during June than during any other month. We are always glad to see July come, when the experienced men will again begin to save their days There will be better service this month than last, and the people will have no reason to complain

DON CARLOS OF SPAIN

the night of January IS, 156S, when the
 ment, silently removing all separatei weapons. Thereupon the King entered and Don Carlos waking and perceiving him. exclaimed, T am lost" and min gled prayers for death with loud cries and menaces
 Philip coldly replied that his life was not in danger; ordered him to rise; re- moved his attendants, seized a casket filled with papers which was under the bed, charged those whom he intrusted with the care of the prince not to lose sight of him, and to prevent his writ ing. or communicating with anyone, and withdrew Out of that room Don Carlos
 never again passed
 The King had the windows barred up, the door secured a guard of 12 halber- diers were constantly stationed in the passages leading to it, and night and day there were noblemen stationed to keep watch over the prisoner himself. All communication with the outer world was cut off. He was as one buried alive.
 The guards dressed him in black They removed the bed itself. leaving only small trundle bed in it's place. The confinement soon told upon thfr princess health, and the unhappy pris- oner seems to have hastened his end by his own wild behavior. At one time he would abstain from food for days together; then he would eat enormously. He would also deluge the floor with water; then walk about half-naked with bare feet on the cold pavement He caused warming pan filled with ice and snow to be introduced several times in night into his bed. He caused large fire to be built under spretense of cold. and threw himself into 1t to perish in the flames. It required the utmost exer- tion of his guards to save him. He en- deavored to choke himself by swallowing a large diamond which he wore about him.
 Don Carlos was undoubtedly a very disobedient and unflial son, and Philip was anything but a wise parent, but whether he went so far as to murder Don Carlos or have him removed his- tory fails to be able to reveal.
