 Farmer Browns Boy settled the matter for him. Yes, sir. he did just that. He became tired of waiting for Prickly Porky to make up his mind and started 10 try to drive him to- ward the Green Forest. Then Prickly Porky's mind was made up just like that. he would go under the barn.

 This looks like that some of these days Birmingham is to have a real art gallery, and something worth while to put in it.
 The collection was sent in com pliance with request made by the local officers of the league last May when they attended the American Federation of Arts convention, and through the request of Hon. oscar w. Underwood.
 The specimens are to be perma ; nently preserved as the property of the league, and are not to be removed
