resentment at the methods OF the Tele-

in a cigar store where he stopped for

mysteriously, In the hollow voice Of ru-

Young Men Requested to Wear White
Flower I'm Honor of Their
Mothers.

Today is Mothers Day" in Birm-

admirer and lover of mothers bids
fair to reach the hearts of the young
nen Of the city In honor to their
mothers they have been requested to
wear a white flower today. Here is
contributed suggestions:
The beautiful idea suggested by
Ella Wheeler Wilcox in regard to
Mothers Day." is one worthy of note
the wide world over. Let It be for
Birmingham a day agreed upon for
its observance. We would suggest the
third Sabbath in May. this year the
18th. On that day in each year let
every man and boy wear a white
flower of any kind. This silent frag-
rant emblem, If it could speak. would
say for him, milne was the best of
mothers The white carnation has
been suggested for its three admir-
able qualities: White. the emblem of
purity: it's fragrance, emblem of a
mothers influence, and its lasting
qualities, typical Of the extent Of that
influence which goes on to eternity
itself. So If on that day we meet a
man or boy without this token either
he knows nothing Of the plan or he
knew and forgot, or worst of all, he
knows. but is not willing thus to- hon.
or his best of friends.
Let us think of mother and wear
