a woman of affluenee and wealth. When she got on the street car the poor ignor- ant creature was nearly frightened to death She stared out the window and saw civilization everywhere-houses, churches, schools, parks, everything, and she turned to the lady who was taking her home and said:
 "Yer look up an yer look down, and it's Birmingham everywhere, aint it?'
 Aren't the scenes that you witness sometimes very pathetic as we'll as hu- morous ?' l asked.
 Heart rending' said Mrs. Walpole, "The poor, bereft widow, with a half dozen little children, is the saddest sight that greets my eyes here and second only to that Is the woman whose husband de- serts her and she, in her blind ignorance of it. sells out all she owns and with her little brood follows him to the city hoping to find him and receive a hearty welcome. recall only recently woman with four pitiful little children getting off of one of the trains and telling me that she had come to find her husband. When I looked up his address-the one he'd given her-there was none such. He had gone, leaving her with those poor, ignorant, pitiful little children to shelter and clothe. and the mother as frail as a lily so unfitted to meet the terrible sltu- alton that confronted her."
 .sThere are other times when the situa- tion is relieved by a bit of humor," said Mrs Walpole, which evens up things, of course. An instance is the elderly lady from the country who arrives with the band box and the bird cage and a half dozen old hens tied together by the legs, which she has tucked away under the seat in the train during her journey. and l arriving at the station, upon being ques- tioned as to where she means to go, she sauvely replies:
 "Ter my daughters"
 And when asked who her daughter is and where she lives she promptly says:
 "'Now, locker here; my daughter has lived in this shere town fer two years and if you wuz real bright person you'd know whar she lives and what her name is'
 Now isn't that comedy, and in abund- ance?"
 How do you manage about people who have no money and are left at the station on your good mercios?" l asked "Oh. the travelling men always help mo when I need it,, replied Mrs. Wal pole quickly. There never was such q big hearted generous, kind bunch of peo- pie in the world as the Travelling Men. Oftentimes they have made up purse for me to send some poor girl home, given

essary institutions that any city. can boast of
 There isn't a station of any size In the United States that can afford to be with out such an institution.
 It is almost criminal, in fact, for pro- vision not to be made along these lines.
 The good that accrues from it; the in- noeent. ignorant girls who are saved from the ravishes and scourges of a great city, are too numerous to mention.
 Too much cannot be- said in praise of such an arrangement
 Mrs. Wa1pole was talking to me the other day about some experiences she has had in her work.
 You'd be astonished to know the num- Der of girls and women who have come under my observation-some of them far above the ordinary when it comes to in- telligence-and how I have saved them from degradation and shame.'
 How do you approach them?" I asked. Don't they resent it sometimes?"
 fOh yes frequently. It requires a great deal of tact and diplomacy to manage some of them. I've gotten so that | can read a girls character from her dress and manner and general bearing. For instance, bot long ago there was a lady in Birmingham who came to the station u meet Il lduA IIoiil otlilld Wiioli SHE lltll never seen, and she asked me to assist her. I went to the gate and when the Selma train pulled in and the large crowd of people got off I looked them over and almost instantly picked the lady's friend out of the large crowd. I just put two and two together the Birmingham lady s appearance and bearing and general air of refinement and elegance and then looked for some one to match her on that train and found her. It's easy enough, once you've had the experience. It's a wonderful place to study human nature the Terminal station is.
 Another thing" continued Mrs. Wal pole, q never see a girl get off the train and go and sit off by herself that I don approach her and ask her questions. Sometimes it is awfully hard to get them to talk to me, but in the end I usually find out what I want to know. I've been dubbed the old woman at the Terminal station that asks so many questions l don't mind that though, if I can only dc what.I know is right and needful. There was, for instance, pretty girl who came to the station not long ago and | saw her

She was from the country; dainty bit of Dresden, tipping the scales at about ITO pounds
 Her hat was of the vintage of 90.
 Under her arm she carried her ward robe in papers of variegated hues.
 Her frock was of cotton, with eiahor- ate trimmings of Succotash Braid and her hair was of that faxen color which ''country'' people always have, and her freelSles were as numerous as the sands on the seashore.
 Her heavy hrogan shoes periodically bore scores of samples of her native soil. and here she was 'bearding the city In it's determined to wiring from it a live lihood
 Straight from ''Joneses Stile" she came, and stepping out into the Terminal sta ton, gazing about hopelessly at the va rious doors opening in more various di- rections, she sank down a moment upon one of the high backed seats and waited as if to see what would happen.
 She spread her possessons upon the seat and arranged her lunch all the while dauntlessly observing the hordes of tray elers passing to and fro, and still not q familiar face in sight.
 Presently she was approached by love- ly, sweet, motherly woman, with her gentleness beaming from her face. her
  in her voice, in her manner and in her attitude. generating a feeling of confi- dence that one feels before a word has been exchanged; feeling of protection and dependence.
 Mrs. Helen Walpole, whose efficient and capable service in the Terminal sta tor as the Travellers Aid Secretary, is known by the travelling public from one end of the great line of railroads that pass through Birmingham to the other, greeted the young woman from the eoun- try with the question:
 Are you waiting for friendse'
 The bit of Dresden shook it's shoS< of faxen curls negatively and shifted it's po- sition uncomfortably.
 Then where are you goinN?" asked Mrs. Walpole.
 q dunno" said the bit of Dresden
 'Can you tell me what you came to the city for?" asked the Travellers Aid Sec retary
 'sYes, I kin," said the girl. "I come here ter make my own way"
 Gan you coolS2" was asked.
 Nav" she replied.
 '.Can you wash and iron?" was the nex' question.
 Nav" snapped the girl.
 "Then what CAN you do?' asked tht gentle woman.
 'I kin hoe and blow and pick cotton, said the bit of Dresden.

PLANT IN FULL IF MOON
Expert Gardener Gives Advice tC
 Those Who Are Making Garden

From the Milwaukee Journal.
 Have you ever done your planting by the light of the moon? If you haven't you have missed an experience that hundreds of persons enjoy every year as regularly as spring comes around. One man who tried to explain the custom declares that 1t had it's origin centuries ago in the dis like of the people for working under the rays of the sun-thev found working at night in the garden far more agreeable.
 But there is no reason to suppose that he knows any more about it than the hundreds of others who believe In the efficacy of moonlight planting.
 "If you plant while the moon is filing you will have good luck, says H. 5. Frelhube. Thirteenth avenue, one of the champions of the custom. of you plant while the moon is waning, you'll have no luck at all. I don't know why this should be so. but I know it is so I have raised vegetables and flowers, and I do nearly all my plantin gby the moon. Peonies, you know, must be planted right away, Well. the moon happened to be in the last quarter then. The peony wouldn't bloom. So I waited until the moon was waning again. Then I dug up the peony and re- planted it. Result: It was soon In bloom.''
 Another Milwaukeean has a slightly different rule. He says those plants that grow above ground should be planted while the moon is filling. Those that grow underground. like the potato and the radish, should be planted while the moon is waning. He says the phases of the moon have an effect on the moisture of the earth.
 Astrologists say that most of May is in the sign of the Zodiac known as Tauras. It is a good. fruitful sign. Peas if sown about May 16, will yield abundantly. and so will fruit trees. All tender vegetables, such as corn. beans. cucumbers, celery and asparagus, may be set in safety dur in gthe period up to and including May 20. After that plant potatoes. turnips, carrots, pumpkins and cabbage Plants and shrubs should be set out before May 20. The best remaining May days for gardening are the 12th. 18th, 30th and 31st
 The moon was in it's rast quarter May 9. The new moon will appear May IS. It will show its first quarter May 2S The moon will be full May 30. Therefore. those who wish to follow MT. Freihube's advice should do their planting between May Is and May 30.

 The Terminal company I'm told, is vel generous in the matter of it's contributic to the maintenance of the organiza'ip while the Young Women's Christian s sociation supplies a goodly amount Sti wards the work.
 The Travellers Aid owes It's existence the Young Women's Christian associate in point of fact, since the first organizi ton was effected In London, under thi association, as far back as 1885. with h' majesty the late Queen Victoria, as pa roness and Lady Frances Balfour { president.
 The Travellers Aid in America is als largely under the auspices of the Youn Woman's Christian association and rapidly growing and among those mo especially interested in its welfare al Miss Helen Gould and Miss Grace Dode of New York. who are planning to exter the work to all the large American citie
 Regarding the matter of the Traveller Aid, impartially, 1t Is difficult to see jul why the burden of this work should ia upon the Young Women's Christian ass' eiation, although they are so willing lend their help, or any other organizatio as for that matter.
 It is the city's responsibility to see tn; the stranger within our gates is protecte and given assistance that is necessar for it is upon the city if the protection NOT afforded that the heaviest weigl falls-the responsibility of the probab eternal ruin and degradation of many il norant women and children. Therefore
 The Travellers Aid should be hearth co-operated with and assisted in Its in portant work.

some poor woman food and shelter and relieved the suffering of the widow and the orphan. I never have any trouble about that. Recently I had to make up a purse of sl5 to send a poor old man to New Orleans, and 1t didn't take me an hour to do it-people were so good and kind, and I didn't ask any one person for over 50 cents, either"
 One of the saddest cases that recently came up at the Terminal station was when one of the country trains pulled in and dropped from among it's passen- gers a widow with six little rusty, dirty 5 weeks old. The mother was dressed in shabby black and her face was inde- scribably pathetic worn and wan. as were the faces of the six little things that hung pitifully about her skirts begging for something to eat and some water to drink
 It was learned that the father had been buried in Columbia county the day be- fore. and that the mother and the six where her people lived.
 She had no money, no food. and only the pathetic, tired, wasted look in her poor eyes and with an interminahle three hour wait ahead for the train.
 Needless to say, Mrs. Walpole took the whole family into the comfortable Rest Room'' and washed the six little dirty faces and all the litle hands and got something together for them to eat. and the poor little tired mother rested her weary body while the kiddies played
 "tag" in the open.
 When the A. G. s. train pulled out at the end of the three hours, she had in ad- dition to her "effects," a large basket of sandwiches and fruit and as much break fast as they would want for the next two or three days.
