How Bunnsr Made = Friend.

Laurence Hutton, writing in The
Bookman, relates as follows the cir
cumStances in which III. G. Bunner
and he became acquainted:
'Bunner and would have moth
ing to do with each other for years.
1t was a case of reciprocal DR.. Fell.
We did not like each other, and we
neither of US could tell the reason
why. We met constantly at the
theaters-we were both enthusias-
tic first nighters we never
looked at each other if we could
help it, and, of course, we never
spoke. We had many friends and
acquaintance in common, and very
often we escaped an introduction by
the merest chance or by the most
elaborate mutual avoidance. He al
ways thought of me, when he per-
mitted himself TO think of me, as
Playbil Hutton because of my in
terest in and my collection of thea
ter programmes, and l never allow
ed myself to think of him at all.
The reason why / cannot imagine
now. At last one night we were
thrown violently at each other. It
was in 1873 at large reception. !
knew almost nobody. Bunner knew
everybody. He saw my situation,
which was trying - an outsider
among a large party of intimates-
and too loyal to his hosts and in
stinctively too much of a gentleman
to see man neglected in that house,
or stranger at any house wander
ing about forlorA and alone, he came
up and asked me if 1 would smoke a
cigarette and take a glass of sherry
in the dining room. And from that
moment we were friends. We never
passed each other by again"

HARGROVE COLLEGE
VIII Use This Space For the Next Ten
Days and VIII Each Time Have
Something New to Tell You.

Hargrove College will be OPEN
ed and conducted on safe busi-
ness principles. Circumstances
the last year were such as 10
prevent us from following the
best business methods. Hence
we have mutually suffered some
delays and MISUNDERSTANDING.
1t is not our purpose to make
any rule that will reflect upon
the honesty and integrity of our
| patrons. We are not reduced
to that state of depravity where
we believe every man to be a
thief. An honest correct busi-
ness method is one thing; n
steel-trap scheme to catch
thieves is quite another. When
you see our methods you will
not object to them. If you are
a man who pays your bills
promptly they will be better for
you; if you are a man who pays
occasionally they are better foI
you in that they keep large ac-
counts from acumulating upon
you and thereby hunliliating
yOurSalf mud teachers. if Won
are a man who never pays il
will be impossible for satisfac-
tory business relations to exist
between us longer than one
month. They will be plain,
honest, mutual and reasonable,

Echoes From the orIo.

Friday afternoon witnessed
an excellent attendance of the
Orios at the residence Of Mes
DANES +. and II. Noble, in
North Ardmore.
The almost trOpic heat, to-
gether with its tossing breezes
and the flying particles of mat
ter incident thereto, prove no
bar seemingly to the mental
efforts of our searchers after
knowledge.
The president, Mrs. McNeish,
being absent at the opening of
the exercises, we all felt with
out the stimulus of her pres
ence, our meeting would prove
but a half success. However,
her early arrival dissipated our
doubts and we were able to
close in the same Jealous man
ner.
The table talker and general
discussions were sprightly and
full of interest.
Mrs. Peyton being designated
to lead in the discussion rela-
tive to the position of Owen

tive biographical sketch and
thoughtful analysis of one of
his best known productions,

symposium of thought on the

learned, the lost cause" grows
more touchingly appealing un-

magnanimous to a fallen foe,

How . Earned Ny Dollar and q Half.
Paper No. 4O.)


This is a kind of n financial
love feast" in the Baptist
church, and so III tell you how
/ earned not my dollar, but my
dollar and a half.
You all know that this is leap
year, and that old Father Time,
instead of making 40 jumps in
one year, braces himself up and
makes 365 in leap year; and
just like a loving old parent
gives the extra day to the month
that is the shortest i'm the calen-
dar. Every leap year crowns
us timid, modest girls with
extraordinary rights and privil-
eyes not known in any other
year.
In leap year We 10 not have
to sit in the corner and be still
and simper and smile, like
patience on n monument, +"
and wait for the boys TO make
all the advances. This year
our fetters are broken. We are
free. We don't take a back
seat. No, not we. We are
social pace-makers, to use a
bicycle phrase, we set the pace
to the DOys. Figurately speak
ing, this year we ride the tan
dem-we and the boys. but we
ride in front. Literally speak
ing, we'll never do that, we
don't think that's nice.
Some of our progressive sis
ters further north do that way,
and sail around as a new
woman" generally. We shall
not do that way in Ardmore. We
are bold this leap year, but,
sweet friends, it is a modest
boldness. We avail ourselves
of this privilege to show some
of the boys what is true gal
lantry.
We are none of us Joan of
Ares, but we know what il is
for a young man to be knightly
and chivers-ous. no, | mean
chivalous. Now, / brought
with me two young gentlemen
who are the recipents of my
gallant remembrance on this
occasion. They are very docile
and amiable and appreciative.
The moral Is, when it comes to
H. cir turn next year whenever a
young gentleman finds a young
lady without beau he can
take her along with himself and
his best girl. See the point,
/ boys. And after he unloads
this supernumary girl and talks
his soft talk and sweet silly-bub
nonsense to her alone till the
old folks fire him.
Now, | believe in Manual la
Dor, but | believe in the artistic
