Espala, Of Mobile, where for years
public funds which have gone to
Rome's sectarian parochial schools
and other papal institutions of trea-
son to democracy, representing the
greatest AUT0CRACY on earth to-
day, provide for such unlawful
grants of public fundsP Rome
recognizes no civil law. Papal
agents in every state Of this Union,
in contravention Of all civil law,
are today extracting public funds
for the pope's private, sectarian in
stitutions. Does your secret treaty
with st. Joe Espala, representing
the pope Of Rome, italy, provide
for your vetoing the so-called con-
vent inspection bill? Does this se-
cret concordat (meaning hearts

executive of the great sovereign
commonwealth Of Alabama, with its

Every Roman Catholic in Ala
bama now is working frantically
for the success of Bill Brandon and
with equal zeal for the defeat of
Tom Kilby. What has all-too-wise
Bill Brandon promised popery in
return for its political support?
Listen, good people of Alabama,
nothing is more definitely estab-
lished in this life than that he who
receives Rome's support MUST
PAY ROME. What is Brandon to
do in fulfllment of his side of the
trade? What political appoint

Bill Brandon? "Rome also aspires
to use the public money to advance

Reichstag Head a Catholic

Herr Fehrenbach, Catholic from
Baden, has been elected president Of
the German Reichstag, succeeding
the Radical, DR.. Kaempf. It is Gus
tomary to elect as president one Of
the leading members Of the party
which has the strongest numerical
representations in the Reichstag. The
split in the raHks Of the Socialists
put the Catholic Center party in
first place. hence the elevation Of
Deputy Fehrenbaeh.
He received 2T0 votes out Of the

Political Hurricane Oyertakes

Now, boys Of old Alabama. all
togetherl For this positively in
tolerable and utterly insufferable
papal situation has brought on such
definite and determined bareback
against popery and trucking to
popery that the political barometer
now is lowering most menacingly
around the very lowest reading that
could possibly be registered by that
very delicate instrument, inerrantly
indicating the very near approach
of the most appalling and the most
terror-striking political West Indies
hurricane that ever devastated this
sunny southern coast Already
now this wrathful and all-destroyine
demonstration of the political ele-
ments-with its terrifying dark
ness and sitting humidity; with its
continuous roll and rumble of roar
ing, quaking thunder; with its dart
ing sand, and complete is the utter
flashes Of vivid sheets of living fire:
with its awful, frightful mighty rush
and roar OF smashing wind and rag
ing flood; with its fearful terror Of
crash and crumble Of proud and
structures--has descended
upon the house Of political popery,
upon a foundation Of sink
ing sand, and complete is the utter
collapse thereof.

AS rats did much damage to his papers
the Hindu clerk in charge of the official
documents in one Of the more remote Indian
towns obtained permission to keep two cats,
the larger of them receiving rather better
rations. A few weeks later the head office
at Delhi received this Dispatch
Il have the honor to inform you that the
senior cat is absent without leave. What
shall 1 do?'
TO this problem there was vouchsafed no
answer. After waiting few days the Hin
du sent off proposals.:
elm re absentee cat I propose to pro.
mote the junior cat and in the meantime
to take into government service a proba-
toner cat on full ratons.''
The unconquerable Pat, being one day
in town, found his way into BARRIERS shop
to get shave. AS it was near dinner time
the barber was feeling the cravings Of
hunger he became hasty over the job and
was unfortunate in inf1icting several cuts
on both of Pats cheeks The shave being
concluded, Pat arose. and approaching a
table on which was glass of water, he
took mouthful and rocked his head from
side to side.
'Anything the matter,'' asked the bar
Der.
"Not much' came Pats reply. "I was
only just trying to find out whether my

A letter had been received by the SER
geant-major Of artillery from the war office,
with reference to one Gunner Green, who,
reported killed, had arrived at Woolwich.
Could full and satisfactory explanation
of same be forwarded?
The N. G.. O. gave the matter much
thought, and then forwarded this reply:
''Green was an old comrade of mine. |

wounds, and then saw him buried. Hence
I know that he is dead, and am consider
ably surprised to hear of his return to
Woolwich; but please exonerate me from

A lady crossing from France to England
was asked by the customs officer II she had
anything dutiable. She assured him that
she had nothing but wearing apparel in her
trunks, but at the bottom of the largest
one, which to him seemed the most sus-
picious, were found twelve bottles of
brandy.
"Madam,' said the officer, sarcastically,
edo you call these wearing apparel?'
"Certainly," she REPLIED sweetly. "Those
are my husbands nightcaps.'
"A party of visitors entered metropolitan
art studio. The curator, who was engaged
in showing them around, was called away
on business and left the guests in charge
of one of the clerks. They were admiring
a beautiful statue Of translucent marble.
He dwet upon the fine points of the statue,
giving the name of the soul ptor, showing it
from every viewpoint.
