HORSE SHOEING.
The following speaks for itself:


Tazewell, April Al have been hav-
ing horse shoeing done for many years,
and usually had to have it done every
week until 1 got Criggar & Son to do
my shoeing. They put on a set of
shoes for me that stayed on 8 months
to day, and Mr.. Criggar pulled them
off and re-shod the horse for me.

Criggar and Son, whose shop is in
East Tazewell, are not only good shoers.
but good at any kind OF iron work, as
well as painting and repairing buggies,
wagons, etc. Along many lines they
are experts, and are doing a good bust

One Way to Avert a Stampede.

Ever since the frightful Iroquois
theater horror in Chicago people have
been casting about for wvys to make
playhouses safer and theater stampedes
rarer. 1t seems that the question has
been at least partially solved by New
York police captain. At recent play
in that city the manager announced
that there was q fire next door, and
he advised the audience to be calm and
go out quietly. One or two women
screanSd, and the first signs of panic
appeared Something else appeared
also. 1t was squad of police. At
their head was stalwart captain, who
called out in tones that commanded in
slant attention His language was
more forceful thun elegant. but 1t had
the required effect:
Keep your seats! If anybody In this
house starts a stampede I'll knock MS
head off The first man or woman that
tries a rush for the door will be smashed
with club.
1t is needless to add that the audi
ence took the hint and went out with
perfect decorum.
Possibly if there were few more
like this New York captain there
would be fewer theater horrors.

Swiuburne's New Poem.

Algernon Charles Swinburne has
written a notable poem which appears
in Harper's Magazine for June. Eng
llsh friends of the poet who have read
the manuscript pronounce it Mr.. Swim
burnes greatest work. Following is a
brief excerpt from the poem:
Ages and creeds that drift
Through change and cloud uplift
The soul that scars and seeks her sover-
eign shrine,
Her faiths yelled altar, there
To find, when praise and prayer
Fall baffled, If the darkness be divine.
Lights change and shift through star and
sum-
Night, clothed with might of immemorial
years. is one.
Day, born and slain of night,
Hath hardly life in sight
As she that bears and Stays him and sur
wives,
And gives us back for one
Cloud thwarted fiery sun
The myriad mysteries of the lustrous lives
Whose starry soundless music saith
That light and life wax perfect even
through night and death.
Essex County herald. [volume] (Guildhall, Vt.) 1873-1964, 1904-05-27

In commenting upon this increase
the Chicago Record Herald shows that
it Is not confined to the larger institu-
tions but is even more marked in the
small colleges. 1t says:
Department additions and affiliations are
q factor In some Of the increases, but with
due allowance on this score the actual
growth has been enormous. 1t is worthy
Of note also that nearly all the smaller
colleges and universities show marked in
crease in attendance each year. Indeed,
one of the gratifying tendencies of our
times is the constantly increasing value
that Is placed upon the training and edu-
cation given to young men and women In
the smaller institutions of learning.
The two distinct college tendencies
Of the day may be said to be, then, in
the direction of making the course
more special and practical and in the
kindred direction of bringing the stu
dent closer to the instructor and en-
coura ging individual initiative through
smaller classes. This trend is in the
right direction and cannot but result
In making the college bred man more
effective factor in actual life.
While OH the subject of colleges, this
humorous bit of byplay between Har-
ward and Yale is decidedly good. There
is always considerable rivalry between
these two great Institutions, and the
Harvard man is never so happy as
when he has joke at the expense of
the "sons of Eli" as the Yale men are
called. A Harvard professor recently
made hit with the boys by quoting
this text:
Now the sons of Eli were sons of Be-
Iial they knew not the Lord.
For several moments the applause
was almost deafening, and then there
were cheers.
The Biblical text will become a ia
yorite at Harvard Placards on which
it is printed in big letters are now
hanging in several Of the university
dormitories.

Wnys OF the Iaw In MOrOla n IL


A. Henry Savage Landor contributes
to Harper's Weekly an entertaining
article about quaint trial in Moro
land. The Moros, it seems, have odd
ideas of justice. according to western
theories. They hold that mo one can
be convicted of crime unless some one
saw 1t committed" nor can they be-
lieve that any other method of proof
is valid. Another difficulty which the
American court officers have to con-
tend with is the prompting of wit
nesses by native counsel and bystand-
ers. Though repeatedly warned and
threatened, they are continually Civ
ing aid and advice to their friends on
the stand, and the judge seldom re-
ceives spontaneous reply to his ques-
tiOns. They consider this restriction
absurd and unjust. A picturesque fea-
ture of the trials is the giving of the
oath after the Chinese custom-by
burning joss sticks or incense, besides
killing a chicken and sprinkling the
witness with its blood The form of
oath provided by American law is not
considered binding

TRIP OF HOLY LAND ARMY.
Eight engagements Made on Sunday
school Party's Journey.

Cupid worked overtime on the big
Sunday school picnic which went TO
the Mediterranean and the Holy Land
on TIE Grosser Kurfurst, which recent
ly arrived at New York. finishing a
cruise lasting seventy-one days. with
523 delegates TO the Sunday school con-
vention in Jerusalem. Eight couples
announced their engagements to the
friends that met them on the pier when
the steamer docked says the New York
Tribune. The ships surgeon, Dr.
Scharpenach, was one of the lucky
men. He became engaged TO ii Sunday
school teacher from Pittsburg. DIR.
Scharpenach is to leave the Grosser
Kurfurst and settle in pittsburg as
soon as he is married.
There might have been many more
engagements had not one grabbed do
mimic gone on deck one night when the
steamer was at Siaffa. 1t was almost
03O o'clock, and, to the good mans
surprise, there were no less than twen-
ty couples engaged in light and friv-
olous conversation, while they held
hands with each other He complained
about 1t, and as result the hurricane
deck was closed thereafter at O'Clock
At the same port the Rev. Mr.. Bangs
distinguished himself by falling over
board. He was the largest man ON
board and was got on deck again with
difficulty. He said, when he had got
the water out of his 9eyes and nose,
that he was glad he had fallen over
board and that his baptism had been
just as pleasing to him as though 1t
had been in the river Jordan.
A part of each day during the cruise
was devoted TO religious exercises, lee
lures and study. In the runs between
points of interest the place to be visited
would be described with Biblical and
historical comments. Eighteen days
We're spent In Palestine, five in Cairo,
four in Rome, three in Athens, where
an enormous meeting was held on Mars
hill. and three days in ConStantinople.
The convention, April 1920, was held
in a great tent just outside the Damas-
Gus gate and near Mount Calvary. The
sessions Were daily attended by nearly
1000 people of all races and colors.
There were S15 delegates from the
United States and Canada and over
400 from England.

Dainties For Korean Palates.

The Korean is omniverous. Birds Of
the air, beasts of the field and fish from
the sea-nothing comes amiss to his
palate, says a writer in Leslie's Week
ly. Dog meat is in great request at
certain seasons, pork and beef with the
blood undrained from the carcass,
fowls and game; birds cooked with the
lights, giblets, head and claws intact;
fish, sun dried and highly malodorous
all are acceptable to him. Cooking is
not always necessary. A species Of
small fish is preferred raw, dipped into
some pi4lant sauce. Other dainties
are dried seaweed, shrimps, yermicelli,
pine seeds, lily bulbs and all vegetables
and cereals. Their excesses make the
Koreans martyrs to Indigestion.

Interesting College Movements.

The recent advice OF President Har.
per OF the University OF Chicago to
cult college at not later than the age
81 twenty-five has aroused considerable
comment over the country. The great
bulk OF IL has been favorable TO his
idea. After all, the only object, or, at
least, the chief OBJECT, of education is
to fit the recipient for his part in the
world. This II cannot do if ii results in
keeping the student tCo long out of the
active currents Of life. There are some
things only learned by actual contact,
and the sooner that contact can be had
the better.
In support Of President Iarper's con-
tention the Chicago Post says:
The average student should be able to
finish his college studies when he is about
twenty. Then he can spend year In
business. keeping up his studies, and fin
ish his graduate or professional work by
the time he is twenty-five years old.
Some will take longer than this, some a
shorter time. but these yeaSs should meet
the average case.
In this connection may be noted the
movement to practicable and specialize
the college course. This tendency,
which has been apparent for years, is
becoming more marked. One criticism
of the great American university is
that 1t has too large classes and keeps
the student from actual contact with
the eminent occupants of the various
chairs, leaving the work of teaching TO
various instructors, who at best are lit.
tie better than understudies.. The great
numbers in the classes also have the
effect of preventing individual initia-
tive In the student. For this reason
another departure proposed by DR..
Harper is worthy of consideration. 1t
is nothing less than the cutting up of
the great universities into groups of
smaller colleges, after the English plan.
or this proposal the Boston Globe says:
What Dr. Harper contemplates is to in

fit our American notions will have to
await the verdict of experience.
