Her Interpretation.

At a certain school the mistress,
feeling we'll disposed toward her class
during hot afternoon, sent one of her
pupils to buy a pound of plums from a
fruit vender.
And be sure, Nellie" she remarked.
as she handed dime to the little girl,
ITO pinch one or two of the plums be-
fore buying any to see if they are
ripe"
Presently Nellie returned to the
classroom, her face wreathed in
smiles and presented the mistress not
only with large bag of plums but
also with the dime.
For some time she could do nothing
but talk incoherently. Then:

looking, and pinched whole bagful p

Women in Turkey.

DR.. Mary Ellis Patrick of Boston,
president of the American College
for Girls In Constantinople, who is
nov in this country, says that she
finds Turkish girls apt pupils and
very anxious to learn. AS many wom-
en- are now being called to take the
places of men who have fallen In
battle, the value of an education is
better appreciated than ever before.
Today there are several thousand
Mohammedan girls and women at
tending the university. One Of the
girls who left the school less than a
year ago is now chief editorial writer
on the Tannin. the leading Young
Turk publication. She has written
two novels dealing with the political
situation in Turkey.

Few See THINGS as They Are.

The mass of mankind will never
have any ardent zeal for seeing things
as they are; very inadequate ideas
will always satisfy them. On these
inadequate ideas will always repose,
and must repose, the general practice
of the world That is as much as
saying that whoever sets himself to
see things as they are will find him
self one of very small circle; but
it is only by this small circle reso-
lutely doing its own work that ade-
quate ideas will ever get current at
all.-Matthew Arnold.

CORDOVA WANTS THE
LIMITEDS TO STOP

Cordova, November 9.--(Special )-Much
interest is manifested here in the action
to be taken by the Alabama Railroad
commission against the Frisco railroad
in an effort to improve the train service
along its route, dissatisfaction with which
was shown I'm the immense mass meeting
held at Dora last night, at which over 4Cc
people were present.
When the recent change took place,
which cut out the stops of fast mail
trains, the schedules of the accommoda-
tion trains were considerably heightened,
the time between Cordova and Birming-
ham, 81 miles, now being TWO hours and
five minutes. However, Cordova is mucn
more fortunately situated than other
towns represented in the mass meeting,
being on the line of the Southern railway
also.
So far the citizens here have not met
together to discuss the situation, but will
be represented at the meeting scheduled
for Carbon Hill next Wednesday night.
at which at least two members of the
railroad commission will be present. The
Southern railroad at this place has found
it necessary to add another clerk to its
force and install a special package car
service to take care OF an immense in
crease in both freight and passenger
business at this point. The new position
will be filed by Wallace Christian of
Athens Ga. who has had several years
experience with the Southern.
