THE GRAVE OF A FAITHFUL DOG

THE GRAVE OF A FAITHFUL DOG.
Prince Llewellyn was man Of note
IN the time of King John of England.
A leader among the Welsh princes, he
occupied his Bethgelert house ONLY in
the hunting season. One year, while
living there with his family, he re-
turned from the chase to meet his
hound Gclert running toward him.
with lips and fangs running blood.
Reaching the house and finding his
child missing, and the childs cradle
smcarcd with blood, h" turned uprn
tn" dog and slew him. When he later
discovered the child living and we'll.
he saw that Gclcrt had really saved
him from death by Staying n wolf that
had stolen into the house. In rrmorsc
ior his hnsty decd, Llewcllyn expressed
his sorrow in the I0udcst terms. and
ordered his servants to erect munu-
ment over poor Gelert's grave:

why Southern Girls Are Liked.


There's vast difference in northern and
southern girls. Did you ever stop to con-
slider NJ Southern girls are so much more
attractive TO men than we are. / don't
Just understand why it is. But every once
in while some Louisville OF Memphis or
Virginia girl comes up here and fairly walks
away with every eligible man she meets.
She is usually prettier. but rarely as stylish
as her northern sister. The former cares
more for prettiness than stvie, though.
and wears more dainty little curls and
bows and bangles and gewgaws than a
northern girl would don in a lifetime. 1t
isn't exactly good form. we think. but she
doesn't know that. and If she did. she
wouldn't care, for "the boys like it," and
then her voice is so soft. and her southern
pronunciation Is simply delicious.
Her manners are charming but rather
gushing. never coldly conventional nor
Indifferent, as ours often are. And she
does make such fuss over the men. She
exerts herself 50 TO please them and
lays herself out to be charming TO
every man that comes along, DO
he old or young, rich or poor, mar
ried or unmarried. And they all swear
by the southern girl. From grandpapa
down TO the little freshman she captures
oil tho masculine hearts. Her southern
blood gives her spontaneous endowment
OF things, quick. appreciation and ready
laughter that refreshcs man because it's
Just what no loves TO find IN woman.

GIVEN SPECIAL RATES.
All of the railroads have adopted special
excursion rates for the benefit OF teachers
attending the institutes. These rates will
be allowed on presentation OF special certi-
ficates prepared by the Superintendent OF
Public Instruction.
Special rates for board and lodging have
been secured for teachers at each OF the
institutes. and the local managers are
making every possible arrangement for
their comfort and pleasure.
Teachers will recognize IN the CORDS OF
instructors some of the best instructors
and most successful institute workers in
the schools Of Virginia as well as from
other States. No effort has been spared
to make the Institutes profitable aud at
tractiye to teachers in the past. and from
present indications the attendance will be
very large this year.
