JUST ABOUT TO FALL

Have you seen the happy mother wner the babe begins to talk! Have you seen her teach the tiny tansieO feet the way to walk? Ever near each slender shoulder, yet SC feeble and so small With her ready hands to hold her, when she's just about to fall |, Shut your eyes and you can see her m the baby's childhood days, When the golden gleam of sunset on her tangled tresses plays; And the, mother, though grown otder stin is near enough to cali, With her ready hands to hold her, when she's just about to fall. Now the baby is woman, and sne bending OCT a bed, Where the spirit from the body Of her gentle mother lied; As the lifeless limbs grow colder, Mother. Mother!' hear her call, ?, But there are no hands to hold her, anu she's just about to fall. Launched alone on Hfe's rough ocean, sne is drifting with the years. But the voyage is a lonely one, ana sometimes, through her tears, She can seem to hear her mother; she can almost hear her call, And by faith she sees another hand to hold her should she fall

FIRST WoMAN'S CLUB
 IN ALABAMA.

Speaking of women's clubs in Alaba- ma" said an old citizen of Tuscaloosa yesterday, reminds me of the fact that Tuscaloosa can probably with fairness claim the distinction of having been the seat of the first social and literary club. composed exclusively of women. ever founded in Alabama, says The Tuscaloosa Times-Gazette. This woman's club was es- tablished more than fifty years ago. The exact date is 1852. It was called the El- mealma Club" and this pretty name was sonmed by compounding together the first syllables of the Christian names or the four young ladies who organized the club. Happily they are all yet nving' They are Elvira Caldwell, now Mrs. Law renee of livingston Ala: Melissa Dear ing, now Mrs. w. s. Wyman of the um- versity of Alabama; Alice Jessamlne Jones, now Mrs. James Broadnax of t1n- castle, Va; and Mary Tripieet Dearlng' now Mrs. Fontaine of Wheeling. w.. Va.
 The two first named were residents or Tuscaloosa, the other two were students in the Alabama Female Institute, fla nous Presbyterian boarding school or Tuscaloosa in old times Miss Alice Jones was from Salisbury. N. C.. Miss Mary Dearing from Okolona, Miss.
 The Elmealma Club had only a brief life. The proceedings were never pup lished in the newspapers ot the town. In fact I doubt whether many or the older citizens ever heard of it's exist ence; for at that early day, the "ever- lasting woman" had not learned how to assert herself.

A Philadelphia Woman Artist.

Every year the Philadelphia Art Club holds a competitive exhibition of the work of various painters. To the one considered to display the greatest merit gold medal Is given. Twice in the his- tory of the club this highest honor has been won by a woman. In 1893 Cecilia Beaux obtained the medal, and this year 1t has been given to Miss Janet Wheeler for her painting of boy, entitled "Por- trait of Bertram.'
 Miss Wheeler has her studio in Phil adelphia and devotes herself to portrait ure. In treatment Miss Wheeler has un- mistakable characteristics of her own which give to her pictures an undoubted distinction. She Is not bold and vigorous in touch neither does she appeal by strong contrasts and startling effect in color and arrangement. Instead she has wisely developed to an extraordinary de- gree her natural leaning toward quiet tones. simple combinations, delicate sent iment and tender feeling.
 This peculiar touch makes her most appropriately a painter of children. She is especially adapted to Interpreting the exquisite delicacy of their form, their colorlng and their evanescent moods. The recently developed. intensive study of childhood has created an immense oppor- tunity for one who helps toward an un- derstanding of the fleeting years of childhood, and wide and most alluring field Is open for the aspiring young art ists whose talent leads them in that d- rectiOn. The vast Improvement evident in Miss Wheeler's canvases since devot- ing herself to this line shows that she has found her work.
 Miss Wheeler Is somewhat of a recluse. Seated contentedly before her canvas in her well fitted studio. she lets the world wag as 1t will She denies being a soci- ety woman. a clubwoman or anything but just a modest. quiet painter devoted ex- clusively to her art

RAISING THE MASTS
SPANISH WAR RELICS ON THE
 CAPITOL GROUNDS.
Contractor and Force of Men Begins Work of Erecting Timbers from San Juan de Austria
 and 0quendo.

A contractor and force of laborers be- gan yesterday the work of raising the Spanish masts donated to the State of Alabama by Richmond Pearson Hobson. The masts will be erected in front of the Capitol little to the north of the main entrance.
 The larger mast was taken from the San Juan de Austria. sunk by Admiral Dewey in Manila harbor, and the smaller mast was taken from the Oquendo, one of the Spanish warships sent to the bottom of the sea of Santiago by Admiral Schley. They have been spliced together and both have been painted white. A darker color would have been incongruous with the white State House on whose grounds the masts are to stand for many years to come.
 A temporary derrick was erected yes terday. Ropes and wire cables have been strung and the actual work of lifting the heavy spars into place will be done to- ~ay
 The temporary derrick formed by heavy telephone poles fell yesterday while a negro workman was climbing it. Forum ately for him the derrick in It's fall struck one of the trees on the Capitol grounds from which 1t made an easy de- scent to the ground. The negro was un- harmed. Several limbs of the tree were broken by the heavy derrick

WHAT DOTS ARE FOR
YOU CAN USE THEM IF YOU'VE
 ENOUGH.
Readers of The Advertiser are Keep ing the Dot Editor Busy Count ing Their Charts-All
 Kinds of Dots

Dot charts are the fashion.
 Everybody seems to be busy trying to out-Dot their neighbors. Such variety of Dots as are reaching the Dot Editor of The Advertiser would be hard to imagine. What fine collec- tion they would make for a wall paper designer! Dots in all shapes and de- scriptions from all sorts and places. One peculiar thing about the Dots thus far received is the wide range in num- bers some are able to draw in the charts. While each chart is filled apparently full of Dots as can be, 1t has been noticed that the amount varies in some cases 1000 and 5000 to the chart This only serves to illustrate how a little care will add great many Dots. It Is advisable not to be too eager in your desire to get in a large number of Dots. by drawing them indistinctly or permitting them to run together by get ting too thick. Such an error may cat SC you to lose altogether.
 The wise ones are already abroad. A very large pompous reader of The Ad- vertiser assailed The Advertiser Dot Edi- tor last night with merry twinkle in the eye
 Say he called gruf1y, you fellows up there at The Advertiser are trying to double your circulation, aint you?" and he grinned broadly.
 The D. E. replied that that was the main issue.
 But why do you ask?'
 Well, you see. It's like this: I take the paper at my house all the time, but since you started this Dot bushes last Sunday I've either got to subscribe for three more copies every day or have row among my kids every morning over who gets that page with the Dot chart
 There being no moral to this story, you are advised to subscribe for all the papers you want.

the present crisis Is not very desperate. although they admitted the Sultan had had a near shave" They believe His Majesty will have no difficulty in crush ing the revolt if he waits till he gets all his forces together and leads them per sonally. If the rebels should see an over whelming force coming against them they would probably not even attempt resist ance but abandon the pretender and re- new their allegiance to the Sultan. On the other hand. if the pretender should make more advantageous offers, few of the Sultan's present adherents would have any compunction in deserting his stand ard. There is neither loyalty nor sincerity which can be relied upon among any of the tribes Obedience is a question of in- terest or might. All the men had very pronounced views regarding origin of the present crisis and the success of the pre- tender, but their views are somewhat col ored by national prejudice. They seemed convinced however, that Bou Hamara has either had training in a European army or has some European renegade with him as military adviser. Certainly, his style of fihting Is entirely new for Morocco. His men Ire divided into three lines of equal strength, who relieve each other every eight hours. The first keeps up a constant shipping or worrying fire during eight hours, when they are re- lieved by the second line. who have been eating and reposing in the meantime, while the third line, who have been sleep ing, replace the second, bringing supplies along wyith them. The first, after snatch of food retire to the sleeping line. Such a system is quite unparalleled in the Moroccan warfare, nor was there any pre- cedent for the nocturnal attack during Ramadan, which brought about the rout of December g.
 The sergeants all speak in the highest terms of the Sultan personally. His Maj esty was always kind and friendly, and treated them with great liberality.
