HELPEEss CHILDREN.
Left by Father They Are Taken b!
 


 Captain Odom of the Salvation Army yesterday took charge of three little came to Montgomery some weeks ago. and who cannot now be located. The Salvation Army will keep the children until MT. Neil can be located and com municated with.
 Neil, with four Mttle children. came to Montgomery some weeks ago from Sheffield. At the time that he reached the city he stated that he was car penter. but that he had little money and would like to place his children In the care of some family for a while, during which he would pay certain sum each week for their maintenance. Upon this supposition the Nicholls family in West End took charge of the children with the exception of the smallest. which was taken by famI- iy in Chisholm.
 For little while all went well, but soon nothing was heard of the elder Neil. The Nicholls family took care of the children as long as they were able, but lack of sufficient funds com peLled the delivery of the three chiI- dren to Captain odom of the Salvation
 It is supposed that Neil left Mont gomery some time ago on the promise of work and that he has met with some misfortune which keeps him unable to communicate with the Nichols family Captain Odom announces that the chill dren will be cared for until some deh- mite information can be secured from the father.

The Power Of Habit.

The power Of habit was strlkingly
illustrated not long ago in Philadel-
phia shirt waist factory. One woman
who had done nothing but sew up the
seams of sleeves for four years was
taken off that particular job and was
asked to run up seams in the body
of the waists. She complained that
the change made her SO nervous that
she could not work.
But what is the difference?" asked
the foreman. There is nothing but a
straight seam here, just the same as
you have been used to-"

true feminine logic. but 1t isn't

women that the young people are so
careful of our feelings, says a writer
in Harper's Bazaar. 1t must be that We
have ourselves put so much distance
between us and them. There are some
of us who are too eager to tell how
well behaved we were when we were
young, who have too much to say
about the slovenly ways young people
have Of standing and sitting, and OF
their slgngy ways Of speaking, for us
to meet them often on a comfortable
footing We older women have less
criticism for the younger ones than
older women had formerly, think. l
fancy that to-day our attitude is one
easier to get on with. l don't believe
I hear so much about girls being
"giddy" as used to when I was
young girl. So perhaps by the time
Gertrude is an old woman the young
people of her day won't be as afraid
of saying something she will disap-
prove of as she is. Still, II she is one

thing for granted, she will find the

HAS RESTING PLACE AT LAST
Remarkable vlcissitudes Undergone
by Stained Glass Window.

The east window at st. Margarets
Westminster, England, wandered
about for more than 200 years before
reaching its present position, and was
the subject Of seven years lawsuit.
Henry VII. for whom 1t was intended,
died before the window arrived from
Dordrecht and 1t came into the pos
session first Of the abbot or Waltham
and then OF General Monk. Stained
glass was anathema in Puritan days,
so the window was buried until the
Restoration, when It was brought to
light. Refused by Eadham college 1t
was bought for fifty guineas and erect
ed In private house and years later
was bought for 400 guineas by the
committee charged with the restora-
ton Of st. Margaret's. and placed in
position in the church. The lawsuit to
which we have referred was brought
by the registrar to the dean and
chapter on the ground that the win.
dow contained superstitious images,
but after seven years wrangling the
church wardens proved victorious and
the beautiful window was suffered to
remain undisturbed.

the bishop of London writes: You
have often not only to learn but to
practice what may be described as
the foot and door trick 1t is ruina-
ton to the boot and sometimes hurts
the toe; but 1t consists in rapidly but
quickly passing the foot in the mo-
ment the door is opened. in order to
secure, at any rate. n few minutes
parley." AS to what may happen he
writes: after long hesitation it will
be opened by little girl about half
foot; and then you will hear a
distant voice from the washtub in the
rear: Well, Sally, who is IT.? Then
Sally will answer at the top of her
voice: Please, mother it's religion
You will require all your presence Of
mind to cope with that" The time
came, however, when every door was
thrown wide open to welcome "our

TIE greater part Of several years In

ssys silence Is not an absolute ele-
rent In the safety OF wild animal life.
Wild animals are more taciturn than

eTd nomadic habits. The carnivora,
the only natural enemies which other
a,imals have any cause to fear
through the sound Of their voices, do
pend almost entirely upon the sense
Of smell in pursuing their game, every
species having it, peculiar odor. Also
the carnivora generally hunt at night,
SELLING their prey while asleep. The
animals which have the fewest rea-
sons to fear betrayal by their voices
are by nature the most silent. During
Prof. Gamers three years residence
in the Jungle he found that the chin.
panzee frequently breaks the silence
Of the forest by answering the cries
Of the various other animals. The
gorilla Is less loquacious. but there
are times when ne ignores all danger
Of betrayal and gives vent to a deluge
of speech. Other monkey species are
persistent takers, and can be heard at
almost any hour. The trumpeting Of
the elephant is common at night, and
the believing of the hippopotamus
by day or night. The antelopes cry at
night when the leopard is on the hunt
for them, the latter also grunting.
