St. Johns MethOdists
By CLYDE VANCE

The boys of Class II at St. Johns organized last Sunday. This is the class you heard so much talk about last basketball season. We elected officers and c. C. Sims was elected president, Thomas Sims vice president and Am prose Benton secretary. Each boy present wrote his name on the roll as charter members. This class has had the best average attendance of any class in Sunday school, having an average attendance of about 80 per manager and all the boys are on the lookout for new members, and all non- Sunday school members had better watch out, or they will get your scalp, All boys between the ages of 5 and IS are cordially invited to come to visit our class and we can assure you of a hearty welcome. The boys are plan ming hay ride to Mount Pinson very soon and I am sure we will have a good time.
 We were very unfortunate this year and had no baseball team. on account of so many boys working on Saturdays. We have a good track team, though and we are going to make some Sunday school hustle for first place in the meet which Is to be held In June. The boys meet at the Young Mems Christian as- sociation three nights a week and go to East Park and run awhile. We are un- der the supervision of our teacher, MT. G. H. Mummert. A photo of the class was taken last Sunday and we hope to print this soon, so everybody can see what bunch of beautiful CD mugs we have not. A name will be selected today and our topic will be published under that head next Sunday.

Presbyterian Brotherhood
By PAUL GANONG

Today Is Mothers Day in the First Presbyterian Sunday school and we ex- pect all of the boys and girls to bring their parents.
 Last Sunday Frank Black joined the Volunteers. Just nine months ago we started from "The Buddies" class with five members; now we have a total of 65, but we are not through looking for more. By the last of June we ex- pect to have a lot more new names and another class room also.
 The standing of the classes now are; Stiggins, 36; Scouts. 32; Volunteers, 25, and the Buddies, 22. If the Vols wear the aprons the first of June, we will make somebody wish they had them on.
 On last Thursday we took a crippled team to Woodlawn and lost on bad playing. George Long. Robert Mc- Pherson and Emit Collins were out of the ga1e.
 However, our little "C' team took in the Avondale Methodists yesterday, score 6 to 0. True, they say the boys had to run after the game, but the ex- ercise did them good. We promise them that when they come to play on our diamond they'll be allowed to walk home. That's one thing we insist on clean sport.

Last Saturday we were defeated by the Avondale Baptists by the score of 16 to F. Though we made big rally in the ninth, we couldn't make the long desired four runs
 We played the Avondale Methodists yesterday at s:3o at Lakeview. We were scheduled to play at 10 o'clock, but as some of our boys wanted to go on picnic at 10 o'clock we had to change the time The result of the game can be obtained from the league standing.
 There is not a more anxious crowd of boys in the United States than ours, be- cause they want to go on that camp as soon as school lets out. We planned not to stay but a week. but we will like it so well it will take week to de. eide to come home.

Plans for the annual track meet of the grammar schools, have been com pleted and the principals and man. agers of the various teams in the diff ferent schools already have begun work in earnest. The plans of the committee in charge this year is to have the meet pulled off at the fair grounds. This will furnish room for practically all the children who want to attend the game besides which 1t will be centrally To- cated. It is not thought that there will be any objection in the way of the committee of securing the fair grounds for so great a cause. fs All entries must be in the hands of the secretary by May 1s. Already a large majority of the schools have sig snified their intention of entering men in the various classes and 1t is thought that the meet will prove the greatest of its kind ever held in the south. Many outside people as well as those interest ed in the boys directly have become in- terested in the work being done for the children of Birmingham and have sig
 nifed their willingness of lending their aid toward making the meet great success. Final particulars will be print ed next Sunday in The Age Herald.

BOY SCOUTS FROM

CAPITAL FOR HOME
Say They Thought 1t a Great
Thing to Talk to the
President.

After a four days visit to the Capt.
tai, in which time thev were received
bv the President and visited points of
interest here. the Boy Scouts from Get
tysburg left this afternoon from Union
Station at 80 in a special car for their
home. They will reach Gettysburg to-
night at Gas. and be met BY the band,
which will escort tkem to their head
quarters.
The boys are much pleased with their
visit here and greatly appreciate the
kindness which has been shown them
in Washington. To use the expression
of one of the young scouts, Every
body in Washington seemed glad to see
us and make rs feel we were welcome
here, and gee, it's great thing to talk
and see all Of the places We have read
about"
The bows spent the morning visiting
the Zoo, Bureau of Printing and En-
craving, and taking a dip in the SWIM
ming pool at The Y M. c. A.
Church of the Reformation, which has
been their headquarters since they ar
rived in Washington, and marched to
Union Station, where they mad a spe-
Cial car on the 1:59 train for Baltimore,

Harry TroXell and SpUrgeon King,
two of the scouts, did not go on the
train with the party, but remain here
tonight and leave tomorrow morning for

get home about noon on Monday. The
two boys VIII take a different route

Tombstone drew up an elaborate
classification of the lie as an epithet,
every species of which could be avoided

he found a saving loophole in that viz

the beginning-if, indeed, it may be
regarded as the beginning-of the she'd
ding of ink on the fruitful subject of
the lie as cause for quarrel, and now
comes forward one of the leading
members of the English judiciary who
regrets that it is so much safer to call
a man a liar these days than it was
in the good old times. He has reached
the conclusion, he says, that the world
in general does not think it very seri-

OUR APOLOGIES TO KEN.
lucky" WITH A PROMISE.

We have been stabbed in the house
of our friends. We have been assassi-
mated in our own domicile. We have
been given the coup de grace by an in
innate, whose blow, unattended, is so
much the more to be regretted.
\ seeker after wisdom wrote as fol-
lows to The Times Question Box:
Will you please publish recipe for
mint julep, the kind that is made with
KENTUCKY.
The query is of the sort to be en-
couraged, the questiOner one to be
treated with Difference and considera-
ton. 1t is therefore that the answer
disturbs us and makes us to bow our
head, to reach for the sackcloth, and
to hunt last winters ashes The able
and erudite editor of the Question Box
being strictly temperate and quite I'M
learned in the lore of the tumbler and
spoon, the jigger and the .strainer
searched in some untoward place the
information asked. We know not
where twas sought and in blissful ig-
norance we hope to he of where twas
found, for this was the printed an
swer:
This time-honored drink of the plan
tation is made by CRUSHING three or
four sprigs of mint and RUBBING
them with a tablespoonful and half
of sugar and two and a half tablespoon
fuls of water. MIX AND CRUSH
them well, then add" etc.
Why waste good liquor? Why not
have stopped the dissertation after the
ambrosial mint, crushed and ruined, had
sunk despairing to the bottom of the
glass? We tremble as we hear the
agitated ghosts of a thousand old Vir-
ginians rapping on the sanctum wall.
We hear old Colonel Carter protesting
and Raleigh Smith crying out. We
proclaim our innocence, but we are
not innocent; it was in The Times.
But we promise to do better. The edi-
tor of the Question Box shall be edu-
Gated. That department shall not err
again for want of demonstrated knowl-
edge. The Q. Z. D. of the mint julep
shall be made plain so that those who
would drink may read and those who
would read may drink. And to Ken

apologies
