This splendid little city shows the symetrlcally laid out original city of Montgomery, with numerous extensions and residential additions.

Tha dream of tha proaaaalTO men of the city Is to see atontcemery (row In greater proportion than lias been the case daring the pant few years. This dream has caused many of them to work harmoniously through the Chamber of Commerce and elsewhere with the idea of cringing an increased number of dirersuiej industries to Montgomery This activity is known to be Stearins; fruit, and the near fruit promises interesting developmental alcng this line.

The streets ar.d avenuen are neatly paved, and the system of good roads is carried out in the newer sections of the city with care and cleverness. Little vacant property is 'permitted, all of the deelrable land being utilised for home, cfltcea cr factories. When one views this city In' miniature, he finds countless stores and offices buildings, as well as factories and homes, each properly and correctly located, and each of these represents patience and care In cutting out and arranging in position: The city block are followed carefully and on all foui sides of each are shown the stores anil form between them and the other warriors and stood there to defend them. After the battle lie pretended that he was keeping them for slaves, and next day carried them off or. horses towards the Coosa To his home In the woods he brought them, where he provided for them and protected them for many weeks.

One day he told Mrs. McGirth that he was going away to fight Jackson at the Horse Shoe that if he should be killed she had better go to her friends down the river. Sanota was killed at Horse Shoe Bend, and again the family was left without a protector. So they set out tor their deserted farm below Claiborne. They wandered miserably on until an army officer found them and carried them to Mobile.

'There they found the father, and eight happy people walked up the Streets of little old Mobile. UNCLE JOE'S FINE COUCH "Uncle Joe" Cannon, because of his declining years, eighty-odd, more than forty of which have been spent ln congress, has a room right off the house, in which there is a fine couch. He Is one of the few members who have couches, a special decree entered a number of years ago when the new office building was erected preventing others from having like conveniences. It was said the decree was ordered to prevent numerous representatives from using their offices as sleeping aa well as working quarters. tAny afternoon when one may feel like Inquiring for Uncle Joe he la more than likely to find the veteran reclining on his couch 'or smoking a stogie in the cloak room.

But on pretty nearly any early morning, if you are in hte neighborhood of Uncle Joe's home, you are likely to run into him oh his way back from a poker game.

While the Mude-In-Montgomery exhibit was at its height of popularity and general Inter-eat, Ben Noble dreamed bis dream and laboriously builded the city in minit-tore, as he saw it in reality twenty-five 'years hence.

Motor truck trains night and day are are bringing stores and equlpmentt to the border. Over 500 truck are engaged In this service, while twenty motor ambulances are conveyltrg the sick and disabled. AMERICANIZING THE GIRLS OF FRANCE.

In a general way one might say that the war has to some extent Americanized the women of France. That is, in the 'sense of our current expression "a l'Amerlcaine," It has given her more freedom of action, more Independence in manners and spirit. It has eliminated especially an far as young girls are concerned many little conventions which really tended to become less rigorous anyway, but which the strong winds of the last two years' happenings have entirely blown away. Some twenty years ago the daughtero of good families began to acquire the right to take a walk without a chaper-one, something unheard of, unimaginable, to their mothers. Now they fare forth unattended to the hospitals, to their work of charity which have multiplied greatly during the war.

Mrs. Zachariah McGirth opened her cabin door one morning to find a strange little bundle of rags waiting outside In the cold. Inside the bundle of rags was the sturdy figure of a little Indian boy.

His name was Sanota. That was all, just Sanota. He was fatherless, motherless, friendless and hungry. That was enough for Vlcey McOirth to know So she opened her arms and her heart to the wee stranger. "Come into the house.

You poor little thing!" cried the kindhearted woman, wo already had a house full of her own. The little fellow was taken Into the house, warmed and fed and all dressed up ln some of the little McGirth's boys clothes. For years Sanota lived with his adODted kins folks and was treated Just as the eight young MeGlrths were treated Finally he grew Into a stalwart young Indian, and naturally drifted back Into his own people's ways. Then came Tecumseh Into the country of the Alabama Creeks, preaching destruction of the whites, and filling the Indians' minds with all sorts of foolish -Sanota may not have been present at the time, but he learned all about Teoumseh's wonderful power and he heard from the older Indians that Tecumseh could make the whole earth shake Just by stamping his foot. The truth of the matter ws this: The Bite Warrior a peaceable Indian Bnd a friend to- tile White people refused to Join in the attacks against his white friends or to believe Teoumseh's false teaching.

At last Tecumseh pointed his finger at the Big Warrior and said" Tou do not believe th Great Spirit has sent m. Tou shall believe it. I will leave directly and go straight to Detroit. When I Ret there I will stamp my foot upon the ground, and shake down every house In Took-abatcha." The common Indians firmly believed what Tecumseh said and betran counting off the days before the Great Prophet would reach Detroit, On Lake Michigan. Shake Of His Foot One day, a mifchty.

rumbling shook the earth. The houses in the Indian village reeled and rocked. The people i.M..lnflr "TAftlimftAh hflS i an uui i reached Detrotl! We feel the shake of' his foot!" An earthquake Jiad really occurred. Just about the right time to suit Tecumseh. After that demonstration of his power, a wave of wild superstition swept over all of the Indian villages.

The smart who were only working to, cause an" uprislng sjtarnst the white people, continued to fill the savage minds with magic and mysteries and their hearts with hatred of the white people. Banotn was a full blooded Indian, and before very long he was Joining in their wsr danoes and tnklng part In attacks upon the white, settlers.

A hundred or more children ran from tent to tent within the fort.

The girls and young men danced and sang. Some of the older men played cards and a general air of happy carelessness showed everywhere. At noon, The drum beat, announcing dlnrfter and tht soldiers boifan to gather around the tables. 8o carelsss had they become of the 'rom the Indians that a bank of sand had been allowed to gathsr In front of the big gats, to the fort and at the critical moment, the Rt could not be closed.
