Joe leaned forward and watched

Joe.
The fish was slow to take the initia-

stealthily toward midstream. Orville
decided to let Mr.. Fish have all the
line he wanted. SO he edged farther
out on the limb.

but his advice was useless. He might

did him little good.
Joe looked around to see If anyone
was near, but the only persons he saw
were the girls skipping rope in front
of Orville's house. He decided to call
for help. so he yelled as loudly as he
could:
.Helpl help! help!"
He saw the girls turn and run as
fast as they could go. And as he saw
them coming he forced himself to
admit that girls can run pretty fast
after all.

~ My that evening little Dorothy
had founlf the Sunday school
\ lesson she was studying most
~ difficult. And so when she
came to Mamma tlnd asked her to ex-
plain the meaning of the verse. Cast
thy bread upon y. c %%aters; for thou
shalt find it after many days."
Mamma smiled, took the little girl
up in her lap and set about to ex-
plain it.
Now as every ONE knows, even
when one is trying, oh so zealously to
learn a Sunday school lesson, 1t is
hard enough. And that, as you will
yourself admit, is a most difficult
verse for any but a wise grown-up to
understand, isn't 1t? So surely, you
won't blame little Dorothy one bit
when she asked Mamma, almost with
tears in her eyes, how in the world
bread that had been put in water
could be found again "atter many
days"-when, as we all know, If you
put a piece of bread in a bowl of
water it isn't very long before it's
all soggy and dissolved into separate,
squashy little chunksi
that the verse does not mean actual
bread; but that 1t is used in-whew,
here's a big word now, SO be care

in place of reading it bread" and
"water," make it read, "Give kind
ness, or charity, to every one at every
opportunity and after you have for
gotten all about it those very same
people, or others, will do a kind act
for you"
But still little Dorothy was some
what puzzled-as maybe you are, too.
So Mamma told her a little story to
illustrate her meaning. And If you
listen, perhaps you, also. will see it
as Dorothy did.
"Once, long, long time ago, Dor
othy," said Mamma. when your
Cousin Helen was a wee little girl
she had two little stuffed kittens.
Real ones? Gracious, mol They
were made of cloth and stuffed with
raw cotton, you know. And Cousin
Helen, in her baby-tallx, named one of
them Giggle and the other Google.
Why? Indeed, not even Cousin
Helen herself can tell to this day
how she happened to choose such
queer, outlandish names for them.
But Giggle and Google they were,
and Cousin Helen loved them better

ARGUMENT BEGUN
IN FEDERAL COURT
South and North Alabama
Case Taken Up-Much
Documentary Evidence

Arguments in the case of tie South
and North Alabama railroad against
the railroad commission of Aabama
was begun yesterday morning in the
federal court before Judge w. ]. Grubb.
Judge d. d. Shelby and Judge NJ. {.
Niles, in which the complainant is seek
ing to set aside the order of the rail-
road commission reducing the passen-
ger rates to 2h cents per mile. The
North and South railroad is leased and
operated by the Louisville and Nash
vile railroad and Is its main lire be-
tween Decatur and Montgomery. The
railroad is asking that a restraining
order be issued to prevent the railroad
commission from putting the reduced
tate into effect.
Judge Samuel D. Weakley, special
counsel for the state; Attorney General
Robert c. Brickell and Henry c. Sell
heimer appeared as counsel for the
state. and Sidney J. Bowie represented
the railroad. Mr.. Selheimer opened the
argument and contended for the re-
duced rate claiming that the South and
North line earns $500 more to the
train mile than does the Louisville
and Nashville system Mr. Bowie fol-
lowed and made the argument that the
III -cent passenger rate was VIOLA
fion of the law. Much documentary
evidence was introduced by both sides
relative to the earning capacity of the
road in question. The case is still
pending.

'Unless the Lord bless the work
they build in vain that build it
But a year ago the Birmingham pa
lpers recorded with the greatest inter-
est the blessing of the corner stone oi
the convent of the Blessed sacrament
| academy and parochial school Next
Wednesday another no less important
and eventful ceremony Will be wit
messed at the same institution, that Is
the dedication of the same building
Truly may we apply the above quoted
text and say that the Lord has indeed
blessed the work. Not only Is the
building completed, but the work done
by the Institution has now been car
ried on for a month
Though our readers may be familiar
with the work done by the institute,
yet we will recall briefly TO their
minds the two main purposes for
which the members In charge of the
Institution devote their lives, namely,
the alteration of the most blessed sac
rament and the education of youth.
The alteration of the blessed sacra-
ment! A work noble indeed--we may
say sublime. Mortal and frail man pay
ing homage to the Great Creator of
the universe; offering reparation to
the Divine Majesty for the sins of an
entire world. Useless is 1t 1t say that
the throne of the Almighty; begging
and imploring mercy and graces not
only for themselves and these COM
mitted to their care. but also for the
entire world. Useless is it to say thta
special prayers are offered up by the
sisters for Gods special blessing on
those who in any way may nelp them
to accomplish their glorious and noble
work.
The number of pupils in attendance
on last Friday was 1877 and it is con-
fidently expected that the number will
soon reach 200.
AS we have said previously, the edu-
cation of youth is the second main
purpose to which the sisters Of per-
petual alteration devote their lives.
Though the institution of the blessed
sacrament is a Catholic one in every
sense of the word, yet the sisters, rec
ognizing the grand opportunity af :
forded them of carrying out tne Lord S
injunction of making Him known to
every creature, open tHeir uOcfS TO
children of every denomination. No
undue influence. however, is exercised
over the religious belief of any child.
The dedication of the convent will
take place next Wednesday at 10 a. m.
The order of the ceremony viii be as
follows:
l. The Rt. Rev. Bishop and attending
clergy will vest at the rectory and then
proceed to the church, where the OPEN
n will ha
cited.
g. Having completed the prayers pre-
scribed by the ritual for the dedication
of an institution, a procession VIII form
and proceed to the convent grounds.
