GREAT PLAIN.
GOT FILLED UP FOR ONCE.

There were many disappointed peo- pie in Great Plain, last Friday eYen- ing, on account of the shower, which practically broke up and destroyed the arrangements. A few, though, both old and young, braved the elements, and attended. Four gallons of cream were sold, and a royal good time was enjoyed by those who were there. Ice cream is good thing if one does not indulge too freely. We thought by the looks of one dish that was being eaten, that some people didn't know when they had had enough, and he was an "old un" too, but the hearts of some of the boys were made happy, when he could not eat it all, and they have him to thank for an extra dish.

But philo- sophy came to his assistance, and after he had said few things that any ordi- nary man might have said-and regret ted-he set his teeth and compelled his enemies to begin guessing again.
 There was a time in the darkes. hours Of the blackest period in the his- tory or this country when a plain little man who had been a leather salesman at Galena; who had by sheer force of personal merit attained to high rank in the Union army, and who had under taken to fight the battles he was call ed upon to fight in his own way. re- gardless of the bureaus at the capital and mindful only of the wishes of an- other quiet and plain man in the White House-there was a time when every Tom, Dick and Harry in military and civil life who knew nothing of the plans of the plain lltle man and the plain tall man. were clamoring for the little mans disgrace.
 He was attacked in the cabinet, in the Senate, in the House, on the platform and in the newspapers What did he do? He smoked and philosophical And he drank something which might have been weaker, JuS- sustain him in his philosophy and because he could not take a liking to the swamp water of the South,
 Grant is drinking whiskey" shout ed his critics. But Grant himself said nothing. He simply went on smok- ing and philosophizing, and he kept this up until he had smoked and philo- sophized the Confederacy out of exist ence.
 What if he had talked back every time he was stung? Others had done this before him. Others have done it since. Talking back kept them so busy that they did not have time to phiIoso- phize. If they had. they might have saved themselves But they hadn't and they were lost.
 The Hon. Thomas c. Platt was not always the philosopher that he is now. One can recall the time when he, also, made the mistake of talking back. It took him years to recover from the ef- fectc of his mistake. But he learned a lesson, and through all the years that have elapsed since then he has had the good sense, when stung, to philosophize.
 The result Is. that. although a very old man and q very feeble man today. the Hon. Thomas c, Platt is neither irritable nor discontented Having learned by long practice how to smile at the sting and ignore the stinger, he could not well be otherwise

PROF. FEIsER APPOINTED.
VIII Teach English and History at Ma
 Fion Military Institute.

Marion. Sept 3O.-(speciaI.) )-The appointment of Prof. J. P. Feiser to fill the chair of English and History in the Marion Military Institute has elicited hearty and universal commendation from the students of the Institute and the people of Marion as we'll. The students are especially delighted with the appointment because Mir. Feiser. as a member of the University of Vir- ginia pitching staff last season, unites athletic ability with high scholarship.
 Professor Feiser is a Southerner, who has received his academic training at the two foremost institutions of Vir- ginia. From Roanoke College he re- ceived the Bachelor of Arts degree. At this college he was a student under the distinguished scholar and author, n V. N. Painter. After graduation at Roanoke College Mir. Feiser entered the University of Virginia for gradu- ate work and the Master of Arts de- gree. He comes direct to the Institute from the University.
 pr. Charles W. Kent. Professor of English Literature in the University of Virginia, writes of him: My associa- fion with him and what I can learn of him through others make me feel that his moral character Is above reproach and that his influence among your stu dents will be entirely for good. In so- ctal culture, he represents splendid sturdy strength and worth. Ills schol- arship is best attested by his degree from Roanoge College. His training ir English will make him a useful man tc you"
 Professor Feiser arrived today ana was given an ovation by the students. = e A HWnWu NIT

Chicago Inter Ocean.
 Don't talk back when things sting you; just philosophize," says the Hon. Thomas c. Platt. New York's senior United States Senator The news papers sting a public man. Some of the things they print are true. Some things should not be published. How are you going to face 1t? Philoso- phizc."
 That is the idea. It is impossible to get the better of a true philosopher. John D. Rockefeller, for example, was one until a few weeks ago. Then he became weak momentarily and talked back. But he checked himself. A
