to butcher each other, the Japs get

legalized murder. It Is crime against

Mr.. Ernest Farrell. former Business
Manager OF the Herald, who left here fif
teen months ago TO accept 9 like posi-

returned to Columbia to make this city

with the Herald again. Mr.. Farrell

His work 10 the past and his work in

ment and work in that place Dennison.
Texas paper says:
''E. r. Farrell. who was connected
with the Herald for some time as ad
solicitor. was obliged to resign on &C.
count OF the health Of his wife. We
believe that all things considered, Far
rell was the best 'ad man that the Her

a gentleman at all times and under all
circumstances. The position of solicitor
is very difficult and rs per cent fall
down on their job. Farrell made tie
most OF it; he was interchangeable; the
merchants delighted to see him.. He
covered perfectly the advertising field.
That was not all of his duties: he Sc
cured an enormous lot of job work for

of friends as any newspaper man who
has ever lived here, and they all wish
him prosperous future"

CHURCH MANNERS.

n
Woman's Missionary meeting at the
FIRST Cumberland church Wednesday
night. He listened TO sweet-voiced
woman tell. modestly and entertain
ingly, something about the work In
general and incidents from her own
experience in Japan.
He 1.-THE aforesaid gentlemanl won
ders to this good hour, what the lady
looked like. The view between him
aud her looked like millinery en-
porlum; there were hats of all sizes
and coloIs and previous condition.
with plumes and birds and feathers
galore.
Now IT is difficult to study MILL
merry work and missionary work at one
and the same time, and the unfor-
tunate male being referred to enjoyed
neither the perspective nor the dis
course. And having nothing else to
do, rather than to be illmanneIed and
leave the church, he began to think;
and he said to himself, why are the
theatre going ladies SO much more
considerate than church going ladies?"
No lady who studies good form these
days will enter play house and keep
her hat on. longer than is absolutely
necessary for her sisters to admire it
and that requires the briefest period OF
time. And if perchance one does SO
far forget herself as not to remove her
headgear, nothing delights the one
behind her more than to ask her to
take it off land there are none so
untutored and rude as to refuse.
Why shonId moi this custom prevail
in the church? Perphaps if the pastors
would request it and emphasize the
Responsiveness OF the request. it would
prevail. No man can thoroughly en-
joy d sermon, however good the SER
mon may he. without seeing the
preacher; and there is no telling
how many good sermons are spoiled to
half the congregation because OF the
big hats the women wear. It
And yet another ''untoward circum-
stance befell the gentleman from
whom we quote. On the outer en1 Of
the pew upon which he sat, sat pre- a.
cher. He 1.-THE preacher) got there first,
and held his own with Spartan courage.
Nobody got into that pew without
climbing over him. He had long legs
and big body and carried stick. He
never made himself nor his legs nor his
stick small In the least the new conner
simply had to climb over him. Why
does any one want to be SO rude and
hoggish in their manners? Why will
polite society tolerate 1T? A sermon
on this subject from every pulpit in
Columbia, might teach the people bet
ter manners along this line.
This particular preacher in question.
who occupied the end of that particu-
ar pew in question-thi Spartan from
the remote interior, while the sweet
voiced missionary from Japan talked,
he snored. Will some one please ex-
plain what religion one gets out of
snoring in church? Will some one
please inform us why, If man is
sleepy he does not 60 to bed at home
and sleep, rather than to occupy the
end of church pew and disturb and
disgust others?
81 saw a preacher not very long
ago. said this same man, "turn the
pages of hymn book and look up a
song to sing. while layman he had
called upon was leading in prayer. Z
What an example for q preacher to put
before his congregation!

Pennsylvania College Chooses Owl

Bryn Mawr college recently chose a

dispatch. There was a difficulty in
combining the college colors, yellow
and white. according to the laws Of
heraldry, but this problem was solved
by using the white in the form of er
mine, the conventionaliZed white back
ground with small black dots or Prince
of Wales feathers, so often seen in
heraldic devices.
For the seal three owls have been
drawn on q half gold, half ermine
background. and the motto, "Eerita-
tenn Dilexi," is inscribed on either side
and adopted as the motto of the COL
lege. The seal was submitted last
summer to an authority on heraldry in
England and was declared in accord
ance with the best heraldic traditions.
In connection with this choice Of
real the college has received unique
,:fft--an owl from Athens, one Of the
flock fed and cared for among the
ruins of the Parthenon. This owl.
shot thirty years ago by some impious
hand, will henceforth stand in a glass
case in the college library. Owls
carved in stone will be the decorations
on the tower gateway of Rockefeller
hill
