THE SOCIAL SIDE

. EUHuHu HuBuFuEmF9mmHmRuNulruRs I terests. bringing accession of popuIa- tion. 1t will become more and more a strong factor in the building of the | Southland. By the census of 1900 Alabama esti- mated, is scheduled as having e pop ulation of 100000 white women; surely you must have 10000 ''eiubable" women among that great number. I believe the best citizens of any State art the thoughtful, earnest club women. It is | they who will study It's problems. will | build wisely and carefully, will make the commonwealth better physically. morally and Intellectually. May the women of Alabama believe and realize the high mission of the Federation: that 1t is organized. not a happening. not for few years, but a part of the plan of the world; that 1t is a great. helpful, uplifting influenbe for the making of the kingdom. We have not united in this mighty union for fame, for notoriety. for discontent. We have Joined hands to work for better homes. | for better laws. for better care of chill dren and dependents. for better schools. for the honest. scientific upbuIlding of a great nation. May Alabama be In the | van!
 The General Federation will have great happiness in welcoming the new daughter at the coming biennial in | Boston.
 | SOME TRUE STORIES. There were two women, and to the story in which they figured there are l two sides.
 One had risen from the ranks. In her youth she had served a, family in | domestic way, but a good thrifty man | had become her husband and in time 1 they had builded handsome, home. | Money and the services of New York l decorator had made the interior look as if the occupants were to the ma nor born.
 The other woman had been born in l luxury of a long line of ancestors who had had the advantages of wealth and all the opportunities for culture 1t | brings.f
 | Curiosity carried the latter into the home of the former. The New York decorator had done himself proud. There was nothing to be severely crit icised.
 In an alcove in the library in a tall cut glass vase she spied some perfect | American Beauty roses. They were | splendid specimens and in the mellow light they were very effective. How did she know to add these beauties?'' thought the visitor. The New York decorator did not furnish these! On my word. 1 suspect they are artificial, | and I'll find out"
 When she left she sauntered over to the alcove and leaning over smelled them.
 With pride the hostess said in a eheery tone;
 You thought they were real flowers, didn't you? I'll tell my daughter. She will be so pleased. She made them her self"
 1 Which was the real Lady and which the sham?
 Which was the natural Lady and which the artificial?

 The little fellow had been taught to 20 to God with all of his troubles and trials.-and he has never heard ot swearing. so when the horse stepped on the drivers foot the other day he said in telling of 1t: Mama, John is a good man. When the horse stepped T on his foot he jes sat down and took his foot in his hand and talked to God about the horse."
 The above story is taken from a let ter from Mrs. William Gay formerly | of Montgomery. now residing with her interesting family in Cambridge.
 The little fellows friends here can imagine what John said to God about I N''S ' l. <
 He had been taught that prayer with faith would avail
 I was sitting on the veranda watch ing the play of the little fellow. lie was under a bush when bee stuns him and he came to me with tears running down his cheeks to tell me oi his trouble. I comforted him by tell ing him that 1t would soon be all right and coaxed him to return to his play He did, and I watched him with more interest. He bravely stood in the same spot where he had gotten into trouble. Closing his eyes and folding his little l hands he prayed:
 "Oh. God, please come down and kill l that old bee for stinging me-" l Opening his eyes he looked to see if the bee was still there. It was, and again he prayed: "Oh, God, please come down and kill that old bee for stinging poor little James," Then. looking up. he saw that the bee was still buzzing about; so the third time he looked up and prayed: "Oh. God please come down and kill that old bee for stingink me"
 This time. as he looked, the bee was flying away.
 With look of baffled revenge. but no disappointment on his little face. he said:
 God. didn't think you was EoIu' to do 1t no way
 He lacked the faith that moves mountains.
