 Mike gave friend Emmanuel "nice" funeral.
 He hired a band. spent good money for photographs of friend Emmanuers remains, bought nice tombstone and something else-very nice.
 Mike. who spent nearly $1.000 on the funeral. more than half the amount left by his friend, was hailed to court.
 In court the judge asked Mike to give the funeral expense in detail. The last item Mike recited was pro grammes." $6.

 Well" replied Mike. Emmanuel wanted a nice funeral and I arranged so many nice things thought it would be appropriate to have some pro- grammes embossed for the mourners- and then they make nice souvenirs. Emmanuel would appreciate them."

GENERAL MACBETH

From the Stars and Stripes.
 SA R ACBETH was a general, but no Ml one held that against him. him, He I. th;nrs and even the sergeants and lieu tenants who had stood inspection un- der him had a good word for him. When the arrow barases began to come over' then Macbeth, they said, was regular Re,,ona,s bridegroom and all kinds of a hell raiser.
 When the Norwegians and some rebels raided Scotland, Macbeth led his ladies from helr' in counter attack. Mac hath. himself, worked on hostile gen. erenal until he had the enemys head TOT A souvenir. In those days they were not content with just a helmet as me- mento.
 On the way back to G. H. Q. to report Ma.betb met three old women who, after hitting him for cigarettes all around started telling his fortune. They pro phesied he would rank couple or thames who had been ordering nm aro,nd They hinted that he might even rise to be commander in chief.
 That's how the trouble started. Lady Macbeth, who had grudge against the ~ovarrment because she had never re- ceived her allotment. persuaded Mac beth to kill King Duncan. Why wait for promotion by seniority. she suggest ed, when it's so much faster by selec- tion?
 So Macbeth put the king away and several others. and everything would have been all set If ghosts hadn't started trying to swipe Macbeth's pkace in the mess line.
 Finally loyal Scots combined with the English and started a drive on Mac beth's chateau. On the march they pulled off one of the neatest little cam ouf1ase stunts of all times. When the outfit came to Birnam Wood every buck private took a tree and slungit over his shoulder, higher ranks carried branches. while staff officers wore bouquets or wild flowers in their buttonholes.
 Thus the wood seemed to move as the army hiked on. Macbeth's signal corps went crazy trying to correct their maps to date. while everybody accused the

Exile Is the Most
 Severe of Punishments

WV WRl1ERs coming out of Rus ;.
 wy sia say the deported "reds" wish to return to America.
 There is none to doubt this state ment. The most terrible of punish ments is exile. The Romans and the Greeks inflicted it on political of lenders. When Rome turned against Coriolanus it sent him into exile. Later on Marius in exile gazed on the ruins of the Carthage which he himself had destroyed.
 No matter how badly man treats the country of his choice, that is the place where the tenacles of his being have gone down and struck root. When he is expelled from the land which he calls home, these tenacles are torn and the body bleeds and suffers.
 The deportation of the "reds" was the severest as we'll as the most ef- fective punishment that could have been inflicted. The "reds" find Rus sia under a tyranny, from which there is no escape. They are the victims of conditions which they would have brought about in America.
 Deportation served more than prison walls in this country to stem the tide of radicalism.

BIRMINGHAM FAVORs MOBILE

From the Mobile Register
 It is with peculiar qualification that Mobilians learn of the refusal of Bir- mingham shippers to indorse an ef- fort on the part of New Orleans steamship line to obtain pledged ship ments for steamers from New Orleans to the Pacific coast. The Birmingham interests take the position that Mobile is Alabama's port and the logical point of export for the products of this state. It was further pointed out that already two shiploads of steel products from the Birmingham district have been sent to the Pacific coast through the port of Mobile and that these shipments were handled in a most admirable man. ner and less expensively than they could have been handled through an- other port. It is announced also that ether shipments of the same sort are in preparation to be handled through this port. At this time when Mobile is indorsing and heartily supporting the proposed amendment to the state con- stitution to permit the extension of state aid to the providing facilities here, the action of Birmingham ship pers comes with peculiar significance and most opportunely. We can build up this state both industrially and com mercially only by full cooperation of all sections. Birmingham has been consistently pulling for Mobile and Mo- bile for Birmingham. Such teamwork augurs well for our future.

No Chance With Pussyfoot

When fPussyfoot' Johnson comes to Birmingham, the people of this city will be privileged to hear one of the most remarkable men living today" says Arnold G. Kyle. T have heard the noted lecturer twice, and both times left the hall with feeling of won der and admiration for the man I had just been listening to.
 "A story is told of Johnson that he rode up to place where a posse had cornered a bad man in a freight car, and the man, heavily armed, defied capture. When Johnson learned his name, he got down from his horse, and, unslinging his Winchester, began to perforate the freight car from one end to the other. Is that Pussyfoot,' asked the man in the car. When the affirma- tive answer was given, the man gave himself up, saying he knew he would not have chance with Pussyfoot."

Florida Still Has
 Hangings in Public

MM ANY people can remember 4VO when legal hangings were witnessed by vast crowds, but they have been gradually abolished.
 Virginia was one of the first southern states to confine executions to the jail and to substitute the cleo tric chair for the hangman's rope. No one could see the execution with out an official permit.
 Before the abolition of public hang ings the gruesome scene was like a picnic. In some cases excursions were in order and barbecue dinners were served to feed the multitude.
 It vas a barbarous custom, and it is we'll that it has all but passed. Florida is one of the few states that allows a gala affair to be made of the gallows scene. The hanging of Robert Blackwell, a young white man, at Crestview, Florida was wit messed by over three thousand per sons, among whom were many wom- en. Blackwell died in fourteen min- utes.
 The picnic features heightened the barbarous effect. A collection was taken up at the request of the crim- inal to defray his funeral expenses, and the sum of three hundred and fifty dollars was realized.
 Blackwell was accompanied to the scaffold by prominent lady who led in prayer and singing, and took charge of the funeral Whether or not Blackwell's hanging will be the last public execution of this kind seen in Florida it is safe to assume that our neighbor state will soon follow the example of Alabama and

VIRTUE WITH MONEY IN HAND

From the New York World.
 We do not imagine that anybody whose political eye-teeth have been fairy tales emanating from Chairman Hays and Candidate Harding to the effect that contributions to the repub- lican campaign fund are to be limited this year to $1,0o0. Certainly the old stagers who have come down to us from the check book orgies of the days of Mckinley and Roosevelt, the men who subscribed and spent the money in sums of $5o,oo0 and s1oo 900. are not going to believe that the high cost of electing Presidents has been reduced so suddenly.
 The fact is\ that for several months past Chairman Hays has been quietly filling his war chest, and the measure of his success is to be judged by the announcement now made that passing the hat for small donations will be de- pended upon hereafter to meet all necessary expenses. With everything underwritten earlier than ever before by the big interests. upon whom the gospel of preparedness has been urged with telling effect, the free-will offer ngs of the small fry are expected to produce at least an appearance of thrift and devotion that will disarm criticism. It is to the money already paid in that Governor Cox referred in his speech on Tuesday.
 To be immensely rich and yet have all the signs and tokens of self-re- specting poverty making the most fru- gal use of such trif1ing benefactions as may providentially be received is not new idea in this wicked world. but the present instance is the first application of that principle to politics on large scale. We therefore con- gratulate Chairman Hays on making . great display of virtue after he has the cash in hand.
