 He Knew What She Meant Birmingham beau stood on the cor ner late in the afternoon. His girl came along and bowed and smiled. After she passed she looked back at him over her shoulder, and continued to smile. Her eyes looked into his and seemed drawing his soul up from his boots. Her glance was magnetic and irresstibly drew him after her. Was she in lover Yes and no. She was in love, but not with him. She was in love with something more evanescent than flesh and blood. Her glance meant, T want a glass of soda Water!' The young man knew what 1t meant and after fumbling nervously in his vest pocket, he followed her down the avenue.

BRITISH TEMPERANCE WOMEN
Addressed by Miss Willard in the City Temple.
 The Monster Petition

London, June 1.-The nineteenth an- nual counsel of the National British Womens Temperance association began In the city temple, Holbourne Viaduct, b. C., today. The morning session began at 10 o'clock and adjourned at 1:3O. The proceedings were opened with devotional exercises, after which the roll for officers and delegates was called. Following this was the reports of nominations made by the executive committee on returning officers and tellers for the ballot voting. Then came the reading of the report of the national executive committee, at the conclusion of which the presidential ad- dress was delivered by Lady Somerset, president of the association.
 The edif1ce was crowded with dele gates and auditors, chiefly women, who manifested the greatest interest in Lady Somersets remarks and especially her allusions to the growth of the women's temperance movement. Brief speeches were also made by Miss Frances E. Willard, Miss Eva McLaren and Mes danes Aukland, Pearsall, Smith, Ward, Poole and Chant.
 Miss Willard, in the course of her re- marks, said that large number of ad- hesions to the women's move had been made in Belgium, a country which had hitherto shown the least sympathy with the cause of temperance.
 After the noon recess the reports of the corresponding secretary and treas urer were read and the morning session closed with the introduction of fraternal delegates and visitors.
 The Rev. W. T. Hogg of Greenfield col+ lege, Illinois, states that names were still being added rapidly to the monster petition, 5000 having been secured by British women within the last six weeks.
