THUNDERSTORM COOLS ATMOSPHERE; BRINGS SUGGESTION OF FALL

Birmingham felt touch of fall yesterday when thunderstorm developing in the afternoon changed the temperature from rather terrific 07 degrees to n point suggestive of winter and cool weather.
 In fact, last night the weather was cool, and many citizens who for the past fours months have been seeking sleeping porches as n S~lief from the heat were glad to pull up n blanket and peace ably dream Of December days
 There was fall in the ntmos- phere, nnd furs and winter coats could be worn not solely for style but with n degree of comfort as well. And with the thought of cool weather the minds of both women and men turned to the stock of fall goods in the bfr- minghnm stores. Those who have brayely worn straws past felt hut day were ready to admit yes- terday that the time had about come when they would have to give up the top piece of sum- mer.

 since hearing the statement, the chair is in doubt and will call for a division. Sheriff Jack. I will appoint you as teller" After some parleying Sheriff Jack reported that he couldn't tell which side had the best side of 1t.
 Ouijn Board Invoked
 ITO decide this case I will be com pelled to appeal to the ouija board. Sheriff Jack, look 1t up. And in the meantime, we'll ask Mrs. Bledsoe an other question. The defendant is your common law husband, is he not? Such husbands are very common in your neighborhood.'
 T reckon he Is what you say he is."
 How about the ownership of them shirts?"
 T gave him two what belonged t, my dead husband, and the other bought"
 "So you wear dead mems shirts" Said Judge Alb to the defendant, 1 That accounts for your bad luck. you can't wear dead mems shoes without bringing bad luck for 49 years"
 Does your husband do any work around the house?" asked Judge Alb of the woman.
 He has mopped up several times and the last time got him what l had him arrested for" This case is getting interesting and the plot thickens. Sheriff Jack, did you get the ouija board?"
 Couldn't find it, your honor."
 Deck Has History Then bring out the deck of cards, for I can't figure the case out either by mental arithmetic or deferential calculus, so I will have to resort to the cards. This particular deck has quite history. It was given Sheriff Jack many years ago by an old Egyptian woman. There is something mysterious about them and the most mysterious thing Is the fact that no one has stolen them since they have been here"
 Judge Alb shuffled the cards vigor- ously and began laying them down one by one, commenting mysteriously on each card as it came up. The parties to the case viewed the pro ceedings with evident awe all the time Judge Alb was manipulating the cards. were plainly uneasy, and the silence was so marked that one could have heard a pin drop. After they were laid down Judge Alb gazed at them intently and then at the parties who by this time were plainly awe stricken.
 T knew that the cards would do the trick and I am now about to reach my decision. but before do so want to eask each of you a ques- tion. Do you love this man?'
 T certainly do.' Are you willing to dismiss the charge if he will go back and live with you?"
 T surely will" Turning to the defendant. Judge Alb said: Do you love this woman ?' T certainly do not" And you refuse to go back to her?'
 T do."
 Preferred Penitentiary Well, you have to do one of two things, either go back to her or go to the penitentiary. Choose this day whom you will serve.-
 Judge, you will have to send me to the penitentiary." Judge Alb picked up some of the cards and addressing the pair as he read them, said: T see in the distance the Hillman hospital, and I see the county jail, which means that one of you Is going to the hospital and the other to the jail unless somethingis done.
 Both stood shivering as the judge again spoke. '.I can see that the cards have not misied me and I am going to pronounce your doom. It Is e7dered and decreed that you both
