Sunshine Comedy Being Given By
 U. D. C.

Mrs. Charles McDowell, president of the Alabama division of the United Daughters of the Confederacy, in her recent letter to the chapter throughout the state, urges them to finish the two especial works of the division. These are completions of Arsenal memorial at Selma and the University memorial window at Tuscaloosa.
 The United Daughters of the Con- federacy of Birmingham are answering this appeal for state work by putting on the musical comedy, "Ssinshine.'
 If the patriotic citizens will patron ize this spectacular production at the Jefferson theater they will not only en- joy a delightful evening, but the United Daughters of the Confederacy can easily realize sufficient sum to complete, not only this work but add something to the free scholarships for descendants of Confederate veterans The musical comedy is to be most amusing, having 150 costumes. 90 chorus girls, crowd of lovely little cupids and a strong dramatic cast.
 Finding that the football game be- tween Louisiana and Auburn will be held in Birmingham Saturday, October p. the United Daughters of the Con- federacy have decided to have the first performance that night, Saturday, Oc- tober 25, and the football crowd is as- sured delightful treat at the Jeffer- son.
 Tickets will be placed at convenient places for sale. These tickets can be exchanged at the Jefferson theater on Friday, October 24, at the box office.
 Tickets can also be- bought at the theatcr box office for all performances.

 "You see. Ben, the first afternoon was in the garden with Tim and the ,nan from Rockdale who is going to drive the well, when some tourists stopped by our gate and looked long ingly at the tapis vert"
 Were you soft-hearted enough to let tourists camp on that velvet turf of yourT

 It's comforting to know that you have some stamina left" remarked Ben as they settled back in the taxi. But 1 don't zee then, howl
 How 1t happened that I had com. pany? Well, Ben, 1t was this way. One of the tourists began 10 weep. Oi course, I asked her what was the trouble. 'oh, it's nothing she said brokenly. I'm just tired and cold and further today. It's no matter. We can find another camping place soon. ] didn't mean to be so foolish"
 You must excuse us, said the other tourist, we have had a long, hard ride today. We were trying to make Mid. dleton by night, but it's too late now. We had lot of punctDres.'

Orlando shot two ducks and caught some fish, so he felt that he was contributing, and we had the best kind of time, we three together.

You know, E. A. H., the reason that SD many girls just sit down and sob, and find life ashes, cinders and dust, if they are not popular with boys, is the boys themselves. It is because they think that if they do not have dates with boys there is nothing for them to do but sit at home and twiddle their thumbs and listen to father snoring over the evening paper and mother frettine over the price of butchers meat and the children quarrel and fight.

Lots of girls get married to any stick of a man who asks them, because it is inborn in every woman, to want her own home where she can rule supreme and where she cnn arrange the furni- ture to her taste, and use her best china every dsy if she wants to, and where she will not have to have her mother bossing her every act. In olden times, the only way to get her own house was for q girl to marry it. But now all she needs is the price and any woman can have her own home as soon as she can make enough money to support 1t.

YoWler'S Patience Comes to
an End.
He'll win who does not 20 too fast.
Whose patience doth the longest last.
Danny Meadow Mouse.

Yowier tho Bob Cat is nothing if
not patient when patience may get
him what he desires. Just as Black
Pussy the Cat at Farmer Browns
will patiently watch for the longest
time at a Mouse hole. Yowler watch
ed the old tin can in which he knew
Danny Meadow Mouse was hiding. It
was as still as if there were no liv-
ing things near. YoYler was per-
fectly still. save for his stub of
tail. That twitched from time to
time, but it made no sound. Danny
in the old can was equally still. 1t
was Il question of who had the most
patience.
yowler was the one who gave up
first. You see, Danny knew that his
and that made all the difference in
the world. AT last Yowler could
stand 1t no longer. He began to
wonder IL somehow that Mouse might
have got out without his knowing
it. He walked over to the old can
and shifted at the opening in one
end. That Mouse was still in there.
The very fact that Danny Meadow
Mouse had been more patient than
he upset Yowler. His eyes blazed
temper, just as Gray Fox had lost
his. Come out of there" he
Growled. Come out and save me
rhe trouble OF getting you OUT
Danny didn't accept the invitation.
AT the sound of that growl he knew
that YOwler the Bob Cat had driven
away Gray Fox. The knowledge
didn't make him feel any happier.
But he didn't give up hope. He knew
that it would be no easier for
Yowler to get him out than it had
been for Gray Fox, so he kept per-
fectly still.
Now. Yowler's paws are much big
ger than the paws of Gray Fox He
couldn't get more than his toes in
ide that opening. as he soon found
out. Then in a sudden burst of an
ger he struck that can and sent 1T
flying. Splitting and snarling. he
bounded after II. Poorly Danny Mea-
dow Mouse! He had been knocked
about sadly by Gray Fox, but that
vas, nothing to the way he was
