A SUBSTANTIAL EXISTENCE

From Harpers
 The pastor Of a we'll known Boston church was calling a short while ago on dear old lady. one of the pillars of the church to which they both be- lersed. Looking upon her sweet, mother ly face, which bore few tokens of her S years of earthly pilgrimage, he was moved to ask her: My dear Mrs. Adams, what has been the chief source of your wonderful strength and sustenance dur ing. all these years? What do you con slider has been 'he real basis of your ex- traordinary vigor of mind and body, and has been to You an unfailing comfort through joys and sorrows which must come 10 all of Gods creatures? Tell me. that l may pass the secret to others, and, if possible, profit by it myself"
 The good pastor waited with unusual eagerness for the old Iady's reply, which she gave, after moments reflection. while her kindly old eyes were dimmed with tears.
 ''Nictuals. she answered briefly.

tiyes-nieces or nephews or young cousins. And it has always been so
 They have always done all the hard work of the world and got no credit for it. The maiden aunt usually be- gins by taking care of her father and mother. The sons marry and go, and so do the sisters, but the most de- voted daughter stays on at home. By the time the old people are gone she has got herself into the way of de- voting herself to others"
 There is great deal of truth in what Miss Shaw says. There is hard ly anyone who hasn't known or been related to the kind of woman she de- scribes. And the maiden aunt not only receives no credit for her self-denial, but her spinsterhood is often made a subject for unfeeling jest. Not much of the fun poked at her is meant to be unkind, yet the woman who re- mains single to devote herself to oth- CTS belongs to the unobtrusively heroic type who have done so much to keep this old world from going to the "demnition bow-wows."
 Miss Shaw's point is well taken. More honor to the maiden aunt! Let her have day, or two days, if she likes! We are all more or less indebted to her. She deserves our encomiums and our lasting affection.

MISS HARRIsON,s STORY

Centreville Press Flora Milner Harri- ten article in The Age-Herald last week on the proposed Industrial School for Boys, to be built and maintained by the state at Ragland Such a school is needed in the state and the article should arouse new interest in this laudable undertak- ing.
 Blocton Enterprise: An interesting ar- ticle written by Miss Flora Milner Har- rison appeared in The Age-Herald of June 2s. in which a strong plea is made for a school for boys which will be to them what the school at Montevallo is to the girls of our state, a technical institute, where the boys can be taught all branches of industry "A school to meet this de- mand,' writes Miss Harrison, ''has been planned, indeed 1t has been chartered. The fact that 1t is not yet in operation is due to peculiar circumstances. In 1911 1t was enacted by the legislature that there be and is hereby created and es- tablished al Ragland, the Alabama School or Trades and Industry, for the education or boys. At the same time the state made an appropriation for the school of s5O,OO0, with an additional s25, 900 when the trustees should have secured an equal amount. For the past three years efforts have been made to secure the use of the SO'OCO appropriation, but on account of the condition of the state treasury, have been fruitless." The article is an extend ed one and shows the young lady is very much in earnest in her efforts to arouse sufficient interest to get school for our boys
