ST. JOHNS CHURCH
 IN RICHMOND.

In enc of his letters from Washington to The Birmingham Age-Herald. Mir Lu- cien Julien Walker calls attention to the mistaken report of sale of the historic St. Johns Church in Richmond. He says:
 ''The ground on which St. Johns stands was given to the church by William Byrd, Jr., the founder of Richmond. and it has been occupied nearly a century and a half. In the churchyard sleep many of the great sons of great Virginia. proud old mother of States, statesmen and Presidents.
 The Byrds, by the way. were almost the original F. F. V. and were also great in Maryland. Their princely country seat of Westover, on the James river near Richmond. is still one of the great show places of Virginia, though it is no longer owned by the family. Few gentle names shine so brightly as that of the Byrds 1T the history of the Republic.

MISS LEWIS KISSED DIR. BRoUN.

In an article in The Atlanta Constitu- tion on the life and work of Dr. Broun President of the Alabama Polytechnic College at Auburn, are the following paragraphs in reference to an incident when he was Professor at Vanderbilt University:
 No maiden in her teens was ever more delicately modest than Dr. Broun. The bushes were ever ready to mantle his cheeks. I recall one incident in whicS the doctor figures that caused shouts of laughter from the students and made the doctors cheeks as red as if they had been rouged. Dr. Broun had one class in mathematics on Saturday morning That particular class had been invited to a picnic at famous Belle Meade stock farm. which had been arranged by Miss Lizzie Lewis. a granddaughter of Chan cellor Garland of Vanderbilt. and Miss Emma Mims. now Mrs. Joseph Thomp- son of Atlanta. The young ladies felt that they needed that particular class 10 make the picnic a success and they re- solved to win Dr. Broun's consent to give the boys a holiday by bold stroke.
 On the Saturday morning in question, the boys were gathered on the university steps waiting for Dr. Broun. With them were Miss Lewis and Miss Mims. Presently Dr. Broun came across the campus. As he neared the university building. Miss Lewis ran to meet him The vivacious girl made her request pointed to the expectant boys. Dr. Broun hesitated a moment and then as- sented. Hardly had he spoken ere Miss Lewis shouting; 'Oh. you dear little man." threw her arms about the doctors neck and kissed him squarely on the mouth. The boys on the steps roared while Dr. Broun, his cheeks like peonies gasped: Why Miss Lewis" Weeks passed before Dr. Broun could meet the boys of that class without blushing.

WOMAN Qno
 SOCIETY.
Mrs. J. IT. deCottes.

1 Let those who prate of our growing 1 civilization and the influences for good l that are said to permeate every section | of society, read the astounding fact l that this Woman's Home is maintained
 and food and fuel supplied to thirty five helpless people, upon the paltry donation | of less than $45 per month, and even this | princely @ sum is only obtained after persistent and dogged begging. This is a | rather startling fact to be announced in a | Christian community. An organized charity-cne of the few permanent ones l which is able, in the great. Christian city of Montgomery, to only raise a. per | diem of about four cents per head TOT family of thirty-five helpless poor!
 We are oiligent enough in money-mak- ing pursuits (which. at best, is not very ennobling occupation) and we are all eager to woo pleasure and walk In the green pastures and by the still waters of sweet contentment.
 The patrician class, if those who hold the purse strings must so be called, owe
 a duty to society, which they cannot escape, because they must bear the bur
 dens which go with its advantages, or lose it's natural ascendency. The fortu- nate and well-to-do must appreciate those social forces that bear others down un- der the yoke, which, under more happy conditions might have been 'virtuous and
 
 blessed. t
 Every mans true position in the scale
 of real greatness is largely determined by his attitude and relation to his fel- low beings. Benevolence is one of the
 keystones of character. man may
 boast of his honor and his wisdom, but
 if he fails in this important element oi
 good citizenship. he as surely falls 1T
 the estimation of his fellows. Worthy charities are lawful pensioners upon his bounty and when he discharges thi;
 obligation, in a free and manly way ht is ever conscious of a warmth and com placency, which Is solely the reward of | kind and generous heart. Finally, the chief and crying need oi l the Womans Home is increased mem 1 bership. It now has 164 members, whC
 agree to give 25 cents each month. but | for divers reasons, less than one-half o | these members pay regularly. The | membership should be one thousand
 which would enable the management tt | conveniently meet current expenses ant | also to maintain repairs, of which the | buildings and appurtenances stand in i'm l perative need The City Council should l also grant them a regular monthly
 stipend. as this, institution certainly re- | lieves the city from the care and ex- l pense of many indigent poor. Twenty | five dollars per month would be just l and equitable amount to be granted by | the Council and 1t would accomplish i'm.
