The past year has been the most sue
cessful year of the Seminary and the peo-
pie OF La Grange and surrounding coun-
try are sorry to know that the school will
not longer be conducted at La Grange.
So great has been the success of the
school; so thoroughly has Prof. Kinsey
impressed himself upon the people of

when completed, will have all the modern
convenience. Prof. Kinsey will move his
seminary to Wilson, and being better
equipped in every way, will be able to do
oven better work than he has done here.
He informs me that by the change he
will be able to secure a larger and more

SENATOR BUTLER on INCOME

''If it takes ten years to get constitu-

Senator Butler mad reference to HIS
constitutional amendment, introduced
yesterday, to place a tax on incomes.
ut is not the first time l have taken the
STEP" said he. Il introduced a similar
amendment two years ago, just after the
decision was rendered, and it was re-
ferred to the Committee on the Judi
ciary. where it slumbered. Last session
| had the same experience. Now, | pro-
pose to know whether it rs the intention
of the committee to report on my amend
ment, and if not, l want the Setate to
consider it in committee of the whole.
1T is very singular" added Mr.. But
Ter that within a few weeks after the
Supreme Court renders a decision adj
verse to railroad combinations a deter
mined effort should be made to rush q
pooling bill through Congress, while two
years have elapsed since the income tax
was declared unconstitutional and moth
ing has been done. This is not exactly
fair to the people who have to bear the
burdens. especially with a period of high
taxation approaching"

Edward w. Box, editor of the Ladies
Home journal, always staunch and I'M
compromising advocate of the home, as
serts, in the November Issue of his mag
azine, that home, however humble, is q
million times better place for young mar
ried couples to live than is the most lux
urious hotel or best boarding house in
the land. sit is always sad thing" he
says, "when a young married couple be-
gin life in boarding house or hotel. Sad
because they start life practically out
side of themselves. The furniture
around them is not their own. The
young wife may bring with her all the
trifies she chooses: she may add a touch
of her own here and another touch theI e.
But the things in the room are not theirs
and sooner or later she realizes it. Dur.
ing the day the wife is alone. No duties
call her. Nothing is there in her life to
exercise her ingenuity nor develop her
womanly talents. She cannot prepare
any little pleasure for her young hus-
band, for things are prepared for her.
When her husband leaves her for his
Office she turns back into the room, and
wonders what she can do during the
day: how she will employ herself, where
she will 60. There Is nothing in her
room to appeal to her to stay there. No
home duties confront her. So she goes
out and shops. perhaps, for while: runs
around to her mothers: calls upon some
friends: goes back to her room to prac-
tice a little, if she is musical and has q
piano; or, if she is fond of books, she
reads. There is nothing in her life: two
thirds of herself lies dormant. She is
glad when the time comes for her hus-
band to come home: glad to feel that
she has some one to whom she can talk
glad of company. And he? What can
he do to express himself to his young
wife? Nothing around him is his: ev-
erything is by lease, his for time, for
so much money. And after he is through
paying for it he leaves it behind. The
end is the same IS the beginning. That
is why boarding house or hotel life is so
injurious to young married people. 1t
makes them practically homeless.

Bradley Institute at Peoria, last week,
pointed out the necessity Of wealth as q

phasis on the fact that many Of the
larger fortunes of the century have been
made by those who through their inven-

something or called something into ex-

References were made to the discoveries
Of Arkwright and Hargfeaves in the last

The death of Admiral Worden in
Washington, October IS, recalls, per-
haps, the most stirring incident of the
war-the first great battle between
ironclad', in which he, in command of
the Monitor, defended the remnant Of
the wooden feet in Hampton Roads and
drove the Merrimac into that retirement
from which she never emerged. No
naval officer of the grade of lieutenant
ever had a better chance to show bravery
and skill, and the use he had made of it
justified the special resolution of thanks
by Congress and his rapid promotion in
the service. This was indeed remark
