 Strictly in Society.
 we'll known. and brilliant young southerner who some time ago went to New York to become editor of one of the great publications of the metropolis tells this story on himself:
 Shortly after my arrival in the big city was invited. guess largely on account of my position, to a swell re- ception. I mean swell with a big s In the course Of the evening q friend introduced me to the most precocious Miss of twelve sus1ners that 1t has ever been my good fortune to meet.
 Well, Miss Gfowny repeated my name mechanically, brought her plump arm to beautiful rainbow curve, gave me ,a 0lasse touch -me-not, and said with the smile that won't come off, De-l-t.g-fed."

 MOntgomery The Capital.
 This ts the Interesting way a pronni- nent citizen isupmed up the situation yesterdayt ts7--
 Montgomery is the capital of Ala banaa and therefore the legislative and executive forces of the state come here naturally from time to time and must come here. The Tuscaloosa action of the Pythians makes Montgomery the capital Of Pythianism in. this state and the gentlemen who make up that great Order will in futurek ekcome to MontRon1- cry from time to time because here will be the Temple for their legislative and executive work and here is the point from which influences will radiate to build the Order on greater lines as Alabama becomes a greater, state. By the same token. Montgom- cry is the capital for the Masons of the state since here is the Masonic Temple.
 In 6 little while, Montgomery will be the capital of Methodist education in the state. attracting to itself hun dreds of the lovely daughters Of parents who believe in the higher education of women and who will look | to the capital city of the state as thA centre of such advanced training. There is well founded impression that something of similar character will happen in q few months affecting an- other of the great denominations de- tails of course must be for the present withheld for the reason that premature utterances like other premature things. have not much vitality.
 The point that I wish to impress. IS tha tthe arrival of these signs Of Montgomery's greatness and fitness are no accident, but come because Mont gomery Is centrally located in the state, Is most. economically reached from extremes of the state. north. south. east and west is layed out on a liberal scal6 of street beauty and conventence and has become by reason of its selection as the state capital. the natural gathering place of all that affects the higher lorganized life ot the state"
