and you go home and tell everybody about it at the supper table and dream about it that night and even the next morning as you start to school and the place is all cleared away where the cir GUS has been and the big tents and the horses and the elephants and the span gled ladies and the chariots have all crept away like thieves in the night, maybe never to return again. why you still find yourself laughing about the clowns.
 Even now after years have passed, maybe a great many of them, you hear that circus is coming to town, the big circus, and you conjure up memories of those clowns, grimacing, S<ncing, white washed clowns, topped eff by funny lit- tie hats, and as a background you see the dusty circus lot the suffocating crowds, the swinging melody of the Sousa march as that particular band of your childhoods memory played 1t and the little seven-year-old girl in the fresh white muslin frock and the pink sash and hair ribbons, and--and-
 No; 1t wasn't like that yesterday, somehow things were different; the saw dust didn't smell quite like it used to-, and the pink ladies didn't seem half as beautiful; the clowns weren't funny any

 One always feels assured of a glorious good time when accepting an 'Alston in vitation,'' for there are no more royal hosts in the state and there was all eager, enthusiastic crowd at Riverview Saturday morning to enjoy the Alstons' hospitality.
 The forenoon was spent in viewing the beauties of the historic old river and very flattering comparisons were heard with the Hudson, Potomac, Ocklawaha and other scenic rivers of our country and the many streams of the old coun- tries made famous in song and story Truly the bright sunlight on the thickly wooded banks with now and then tree made brilliant by the autumn tints formed a wonderful panorama.
 At 1 o'clock a typical southern feast was spread, consisting of fried chicken, Virginia ham, hot rolls, beaten biscuit, chicken salad, pickle, asparagus salad, iced tea, hot coffee, peach ice cream topped with luscious Alabama peaches, Lady Baltimore, orange and angel cake was served When Lock 1T was reached some of the party enjoyed swim while others inspected the gigantic edifice and the beauties of Lake Bankhead far be- yond.
 On the return trip music on the ever popular ukelefe by Miss Marguerite Por- ter of Florida, the singing of those beau tiful old songs without which a river trip is never complete, cards, knitting, jolly trips in MT. Alston's fast little speed boat, and thrilling tales of the sea told by Captain Antonio, who has braved the briny deep for many years and who as captain of the Mary Frances" has en- deared himself to all who have ever cruised with him, were enjoyed
 A deliciously dainty tea was served at twilight in the salon and at o'clock when Riverview was reached the Tusca- loosa guests, who had been so fortunate as to have been on Mary Frances trip l before. voted only another wonderful AL l ston treat while the guests from a dis l the wonderful day would ever finger | thewonderful day would ever finger among their most pleasant memories and the ''call of the Warrior" would always | lure them back to Alabama.

No Effect Here of
 Hurricane in Indies

The tropical storm which has been spin hing around Jamaica since Sunday has made its way to the southeastern coast of Cuba and Is headed toward the Gulf of Mexico, but north Alabama has not begun to feel its effect yet, the local weather bureau announced yesterday.
 If it continues north into the gulf and makes itself felt on the Alabama, Mis- sissippi or Florida coast, however, Bir- mingham is likely to get a repetition of the rains which attended similar equi- noctial storm last year.

Feed Bills Are Less

Montgomery, September 25.-(specialD sheriff's feed bills for the fiscal year ending October i will exceed the an- nual appropriation of $1S00O0 by less than s1o,O00, falling off in the deficit of from $3O, 900 to $60,0O0. Heretofore feed bills have gone above the appropriation by not less than $40,000 The decrease is attributed to the fact that sheriffs now are forced to carry their bills which exceed the appropriation until the meet ing of the next legislature, thus forcing them to borrow money with which to feed prisoners. This prevents unneces- sary or frivolous arrests.
