w. C. T. U. Flower Mission-A Com
mendable Undertaking.

The w. C. T. U. has organized a
flower mission, similar to those car
ried ON in larger cities. The object
is to brighten the sick room of those
confined to their beds, or to send a
loving remembrance to those in
trouble. Nothing appeals to the
sick as do flowers, and since the w.
c. L. U. ladies have started out in
this labor of love, a number of peo-
pie have asked if they might not
contribute their mite. toward so
laudable an undertaking. The work
that is being done by the Morgen-
town w. G. L. o. has not been made
public for the sake of receiving COM
mendation, but Morgantown people
are gradually coming to know what
the Union is doing in one way and
another.

FEW OUT.
Students as usual do not attend lec-
ture for the benefit ola student
organization.

The lecture Tuesday was very
good one. Mr.. ii. II. Emmett who is
half blood Indian lectured at Com
meucement Hall on the Indian ques-
tion and the treatment that the red
men have received from the white
race. The lecture was full of good
things and at times was very funny.
At other times the things that were
being portrayed brought tears TO the
eyes of the audience and they drank
in every word as it fell.
This was the first lecture in the
course and the students as usual when
there is any thing given for the ben
eft Of the student body were not pres
ent. They showed as usual that they
expected the town people to give what
ever support was given and probably
many of them are kicking because
not more town people turned out than
did to the affair.

When the several bills relating to libel
were before our committee. Johnston OF

talks on the subject. OF course you know
these TWO men, for everybody knows them.
When Johnston gets down TO real ear
nest work his brow is corrugated like
iron; his eyes seem riyeted not on those
before him. but on his subject, and ne
speaks his thoughts with a deliberation
The working OF his thoughts remind one
OF a pile driver. Slowly but surely, with
ponderous force. he climbs 20 the climax
to let loose with crushing impact argument
that drives deep into the listening mind
the conclusion he himself has reached and
which he wishes others to see.
Sterrett is like a mighty torrent, He
simply covers the whole ground before
him. II there is a weak place in the levee
that attempts to bind him. he finds II and
breaks It; II there is any obstruction be-
fore him, he simply overwhelms It, His
force is rugged, and. like a sculptor, he
makes all sorts OF chips fly in bringing out
his subject After he Is done you can go
