One of the Interesting Affairs Was the
 Meeting of the City B. Y. F. U.
 Thursday Evening.
 The past week has been quiet one in the church circles of Montgomery. But few events of importance to the religious life of the city have taken place. One of the interesting affairs of the week, however, was the month- Iy meeting of the City Baptist Young Peoples Union, which was held at the First Baptist Church last Thursday evening. An interesting program had been arranged and there was much enthusiasm manifested.
 The devotional services were led by w. R. Sawyer of the Clayton Street Baptist Church. After the devotional services Rev. J. NJ. Thomas of Vir- ginia, the temporary supply of the southside Baptist Church. spoke on the "Echoes from the Convention at Dothan." II. A. Cook of the Highland Park Church spoke on the "Conven- tion from the Layman's Point of View
 ssThe History of the Layman's Move ment," was spoken of by George w. Ellis of the Southside Baptist Church. Mir Ellis told of the beginning of the movement from the "Haystack Prayer Meeting" at Boston in 1906 down to the convention in New York in 1906 and the Alabama convention at Dothan during the past month. He gave a general outline of the objects and pur-

Restaurants Draw Line on Dogs.

l was dining the other evening in
Churchills, Broadway and Forty.
Sixth street. A lady and gentleman
entered, the lady carrying in her arm
a mite of a short-nosed dog. They
took table, but before the waiter
could take their order the head
waiter went over and asked to be
given the dog that he might remove 1t
to the basement and CHECK" it, as he
termed it; that is, have it cared for
until the parties were through eating
The lady Indignantly refused to be
parted from her dog, whereupon the
head waiter said; I'm sorry, madam,
but under those circumstances we
can't serve you" And the lady and
her escort-the dog still Rugged in
ner arms-departed. Churchill came
along at that moment and / told him
] was much pleased to see such a
stand taken. That's the rule here"
he replied. "I'll not make a kennel OF
this place. But you'd be astonished
what a row some women kick up be-
cause / won't allow them to keep
their dogs at the table with them
while they eat their dinners. It's
either no dogs, or no dinner, here"
The best restaurants along Broadway
take much the same stand; although
in a few cases they're not so partic.
ular. The smart New York woman
is getting very insistent in her de-
mands for respect to be shown her
dog. One of them refused to part
from hers In restaurant the other
night because, she said, the dog was
worth $1,000. The proprietor replied
that he didn't care II the dog were
worth fifteen millions, 1t must be
