STATE OWNS SAW MILL
IS TO BE OPERATED BY CON-
 VICTS AT SPEIGNER'S.
Lumber Will not Be Put on Market But will be Used to Repair Property of Convict Depart
 ment,

The State Board of Convict Inspectors has established q small, but complete saw mill at Spiegners in connection with the penitentiary at that place.
 The Convict Department has no inten- ton of entering the commercial world in the lumber line. The mill w1l be used exclusively for the department.' Its building and establishment was superin- tended by Barney Bowling of Ozark, an experienced saw mill man.
 1t was announced yesterday that the mill is completed and 1t will be put in operation Immediately.
 The mill will have a daily output of botween 4.60O and 5.OO0 feet of lumber. It will be operated by the convict officials at Speigners. The output of the mill will Ge used in making repairs on the State property under the charge of the Convict Department. Some of this property is rather badly in need of re- pairs. The proposed repairs would have cost the State a large sum of money for lumber. It was found that small saw mill could be established cheaper than the lumber could be bought and delivered at Speigners.
 President J. M. Carmichael of the Con- vict Board said yesterday that the Board contemplated enclosing the cotton mill at Speigners for its protection with a strong and substantial fence, the material for which will be supplied by the new mill. [

MEETING OF
 THE woMAN'S HOME.

At meeting of the Working Womans Home Association. held yesterday after noon, the painful duty of those present was to decide on the eligibility of a number of applicants present for admit tance into the new cottage recently built by the Messrs. Scott as a memorial to their father, the late MT. T. J. Scott.
 There were eight or ten women waiting in the hall for action on their eligibility It was a sight to melt the heart and en- list the sympathy of any who beheld it.
 One of the things stipulated concern ing the T. J. Scott Cottage is that it is to be occupied by women with chil- dren' A noble requirement this is. for on all sides is heard mo children al- lowed" Here is one place where children all the available material of which we may expect American citizens-are at a premium It was happy thought
 That little gathering of women who stood in the hall of the Home seeking an abiding place where they could be sure of kindly shelter for themselves and their little ones while they go out to work, proved how much this charity is needed. It is sad to know that some of them must be turned away for want of room and more for waat of means to maintain even so large an establishment as they now have.
 What the Woman's Home needs now is money to keep 1t up-no more rooms, but an endowment-several endowments.

OF JUDGE TORRANCE
 LETTER FOR
SOLDIER.

BOLO1EHS' HUM E.
 The Hartford (Conn.) Courant has the following concerning the letter from Judge Torrance asking contributions for the Confederate Soldiers Homie at Mountain Creek.
 "The Commander of the Grand Army of the Republic. Judge Ell Torrance has written letter that does honor to his kindly and patriotic heart It is ad- dressed to all wearers of the bronze but ton. It Is not about pensions, but about the old soldiers who, In the nature of things, cannot draw Federal pensions the gray-haired Johnny Rebs. Many of them are feeble and in poverty. Their old comrade, Colonel J. M. Falkner, Federal District Attorney for Alabama. has planned a home for some of them at Mountain Creek, Chiffon County, that State. His plan contemplates three in- expensive central buil1ngs-headquart CTS. hospital, chapel-and forty $l.500 cot tages. Two cottages are already up and occupied. Of course money will be needed to keep the home going-to buy food. clothing, medicine, etc., for the old soldiers. The Commander in- Chief asks posts and individual members to send contributions to Colonel J. M. Falkner Montgomery, Ala. It's an admirable suggestion made in an admirable spirit. Colonel Falkner should hear before Christmas from Northern men who never heard the bullets buzz, as we'll as from many who did"

A teacher of Sioux Falls. says an ex- change. asks the question: "who is the best educated" and he answers the ques- ton himself as follows:
 ''Ths best educated person. he said is the one who can instantly think the right thing. say the right thing and do the right thing. under any and all circum- stances.s The best education, he said. is obtained outside of textbooks and schools. Lincoln. Franklin and Wash. ington attended school and studied text books but little And where did Shake speare, Calico and Darwin get their ed- ucation? he asked. Certainly not in the schools or from textbooks. The infer encs to be drawn from MT. Wellss prac- tical talk Is.

THE LATEST DANCE.

A dance with stately movement com bininE ana mingling the waltz and the minuet has met with the approval of the dancing masters, and it is predicted it will rule society this winter. This is the coronation savotte."
 The coronation gavotte is the invention of an Indiana man. Mir. osker Duenveg of Terrs Haute. The dancing masters of America in recent convention in St. Louis have decreed that it shall be "the thing in dancing this winter. This edict may or may not be obeyed, according to whether it catches tide of popularity. The St. Louis Post Dispatch describes this new dance as follows: ...
 "Debutantes will delight in it, for it is a stately dance. The somewhat blase so- ciety devotees will revel in 1t because 1t is more restful than the romping two step, which had such a sway for half decade. Those who glory in the enchant- ing swing of the slow-gliding waltz will with the coronation gavotte' as a past tine, for 1t ninsies the minuet with the ''fnazy waltz to a charm.
 : "You take your partner upon the floor. and, while the music is droning along with some dreamy waltz, you bow to the right and the left and describe semi circle with the tip of your patent leather shoe. This is all mere preliminary. Your partner has been doing the same all the while. with many a glance from one side and the other, like Spanish senorita when the orchestra plays La Gitana" at the carnivals of Madrid.
 Then you take your partner by the hand. She steps around lightly to the other side and smiles and bows some more. You are supposed to recognize these bows by "courtesying' little your self. Next you place your arm around your partner as in the old-fashioned waltz holding her elbow so as to allow her arm from the elbow down to her finger tips to rest lightly upon your arm above the elbow. This is a little more loving than the old style of waltz. where you simply take the girls hand and fly around as If you were pumping. an old-fashioned farm pump handle. but 1t is far more comfortable and certainly causes the young woman to look as if she was al least on speaking terms with her part. her.
 "A few slides at the waltz step brings you back again to the ninuet part of the coronation gavotte," and you do some more smiling and lowing, just as if you had a lace handkerchief in one hand. q snuff box in the other and white wig on your head, saying nothing of the knickerbockers and white satin slippers" '"

Laurence A. Irving. son of Sir Henry Irving who has been spending some time visiting friends in Vermont is quoted as saying of American hospitality:
 q enjoyed my stay immensely, for l found none of that stiffness and tyranny of good form which is so often thrown up to the English. I was not treated like the American couple visiting an apathetic English gentleman. The first morning at breakfast the eager young American wife announced her intention of seeing the Tower of London What are you going there for! inquired the host. Isn't 1t one of your finest old buildings! 'Ye-es. believe it is Well, then. why not see it!' oh. 1t isn't done, you know"

 THE SPHINX CRUNBLING.
 We are told that the Thetan Sphinx is crumblins. due to the march of the times in irrigation, and thereby molsten- ing the erstwhile atmosphere of Egypt.
 According to the fable the Thetan Sphinx proposed riddle to the people and put to death all who could not an- swer it. No one succeeded in answering the riddle, which was What is that which IS four-footed, three-footed and two-footed?"
 Finally the great Oedipus, King of Thebes. gave the correct answer-Man, who is four-footed in infancy. three- footed in old age, when he walks with the help of cane. and two-footed the rest of his life. Thereupon the Sphinx so the fable runs, slew herself.
