A Marietta man says that few days

A Marietta man says that few days
ago when his family were assembled at
table for dinner he could not recall one
word of grace or blessing that he had
said at meal time for thirty years. Not
one word of it came to mind and after
an embarrassing pause he called on his
wife to say grace. This reminds us of
an amusing thing told on a pretty,
bright tot of two and a half years, e
little Marietta lady. Each member Of
the large family repeat verse of Scrip
ture at meal time. The little one could
only say the shortest verse, "Jusus
wepr." Recently at supper she was
tired. and the eyelids were fast being
kissed down unto balmy sleep. With
good deal of effort she reused herself
and said, Il am not going to say Jesus
wept," now. Pm too tired"

"A Poor Relation"

Frederic Summerfield, with the support of a good company, presented A Poor Relation" at the Jefferson last night. The play has been acted by better com panies than that which gave last nights performance. but Sol Smith Russell was the star of such companies.
 The story of the three acts Is univer- sally known. It tells of genius and his suffering from want of food. This man invents a most remarkable mechanism. He calls at the home of a relative. In the parlor of this relative, with the young lady of the home, he Is overcome by hunger. During his feint the diagrams of his inventions are stolen by an un- scrupulous partner of the girls father. The girl Is accused of the theft, but the genius magnanimously says he really had no paper. He had lied. In the last act everything Is happily ended as all plays are
 MT. Summerfield in the title role gave a finished performance. He grasped fully the opportunities offered and pleased the crowd. George R. Sprague, as the father, attracted by his excellent work. Miss Maud Vaughn and Miss Newman both were clever in the roles of daughter and mother, respectively. Other members of the company did creditable acting, alto- gether giving a pleasing performance of the play.

 French Classes This Winter.

The French classes thar nave been so ably be resumed this winter, as many of Birminghams most prominent women are enthusiastic over the prospect of the return of French teacher whose classes the last season or two brought together many congenial little parties for the study of French. Last winter the women who had applied themselves seriously were so proficient that conversation dur ing the classes was exclusively in French, and one would be surprised to know how many women there are in Birmingham who not only read but speak French fiu- entity. They realize, too, that unless the French classes are continued that they are apt to lose the charm of accent, and while they could continue their perusal of the latest French novels, they would probably be unable to converse as per fectly in the language without re-organ- izing the delightful French classes that afford such splendid opportunities for conversation. Several of Birmingham fashionable women were speaking yester- day of the French classes for the winter. Mrs. c. P. Orr, who is a thorough French scholar, referred to the number of women here who are proficient in French, and said that many women were anxious that French classes be organized at once.
 Not alone are the women who have been studying French for years inter ested in the winters classes, but many of the women who have dropped their French since their school days are en- thusiastic when the classes are suggest ed.
