The Neglected Boy.

| i''t VI >bttukO, III
Rev. Thomas Cox, talking a few day,
ago on the relations of a mother to he.
oh ldren, made the startling Statement
that many women sacrificed the com
fort and training of their boys. tina
they might add to the Injuries of thei,
girls
The father declared that the daugh
ters were pampered, while the sons
were neglected, and that the grea,
desire of most modern mothers was &c
see the former married, and devote
the wages Of the latter to the culmina
ton of her aims.
This statement seems as il it might
be rather a startling one, but perhaps
there my be some truth in it.
Mothers may not mean to negle I
their boys, but somehow a girl comes
just a little nearer to a mothers heart.
1t may be that it is because a girl is
more in touch with her mother, more
dependent upon her, and more pliable
to counsel, that she takes more inter.
est in her welfare.
Be that as II may, a boyi, very often
left to look after himself, while a girl
IS watched and tended as tenderly as
a flower.
This at itude Of solicitude Is some
times very marked, and 80 much so as
to make little shavers feel that they
are very small potatoes indeed.
A mother will nine times out Of ten
not meaning to be Misunderstanding
a daughter In a hundred little tribes,
in the way Of dress, while the son gets
along as best he can on just what Is
absolutly needed.
The boy generally takes It all for
granted, and never even thinks Of
complaining. He is so used to playing
second fiddle that he thinks there Is
nothing else for him to do and v
thinks Of rebelline.
In a thousand and one little things
the boy is made to feel his noneuity.
II there is company for dinner and
just n spare chair, he must wait
while sister dimes in state.
II an entertainment is on foot and
only one a go, again sister scores,
and brother is left at home, but IL
sister wants to 60 some place and
brother does not, then brother Is made
to drag along after her, because she
can't 60 alone.
All these things are supposed to be
a part Of brothers education. He
must be taught to be- polite. gentle
manly and thoughtful, and all the
while these traits are being forced out
Of his nature by the unfair treatment,
tecause he is a boy,
He must give up on every occasion
when a question Of (which" is brought
up. and 1t il constantly impressed up
him that these lessons are very
salutary and teach him to be manly
and unselfish. A boy Of 10 is q little
cub, generally speaking, but he has
just As intense feelings and can suffer
quite as keenly as his sister, and he is
just as susceptible to kindness The
chances are that he will take kindly to
and petting. and IL he is the
right kind Of a lad 1t won't make q
a SISSY" of him.
Try it, mothers, try it.

FREE EXAMINATION
LOCAL HOSPITAL OFFERS sPE-
 CIAL SERVICE.
No Charge Made for Consultations, Examinations or Medical Ser vices Unless Cure Is
 Effected.

Unfortunately the ethics of the regular medical profession forbid advertising, so
 it Is not as generally known as 1t should
 be that there is a firm of doctors here
 who charge absolutely nothing for con sultations. examinations, diagnosis, ad- vice and ambulance and hospital service. unless they actually effect cure. Not withstanding this liberal policy they are succeeding financially because they never delude patients with false hopes. but give each an honest opinion and decline all in- curable cases. Their ambulance will call anywhere in the city limits and convey patients to and from the hospital in per- feet comfort and safety. Altogether theirs is the finest and best equipped old colthes hospital in the South and Is called Holt's Dye Works. A large stan of sar- torial surgeons and old clothes doctors Is always in attendance and would be pleased to have every ailing suit in Mont gomery call and be examined or telephone 432 for ambulance. adv.

 The Democratic primaries of Jefferson county for the nomination of county of- ficials will probably be held March l4th, according to County Chairman B. A. Thompson.
 The County Executive Committee will meet next Saturday, December I2th. for the purpose of issuing the call for the primary.
 There is some opposition to a primary. This opposition is confined. 1t Is claim ed, mostly to Ensley and Bessemer.
 The Democratic voters of these two suburbs are now circulating petitions re- questing the Democratic County Execu- tive Committee to allow the nominees for the county offices to be selected in a convention and not in a primary. These cities do not believe that they can get a fair showing in a primary and would rather submit the claims of their candi- dates to a convention.
