DIR. CHARLES e. TAYLOR.

At the time Dr. Charles f. Taylor
resigned from the presidency of Wake
Forest College, a committee composed
of Messrs. r. T. Vann, j. c. Scar
borough and j. w. Lynch was APP
pointed to prepare some fitting eX-
preston of the Board. The committee
has prepared such q paper that ad-
mirably sums up the lasting work
which DR.. Taylor has done for Wake
Forest College and higher education
in North Carolina. We quote two par
agraphs:
"Dr. Taylor's administration marked
a distinct epoch in the life of the col
lege, and of Southern education as
we'll. For it advanced Wake Forest
to the forefront so rapidly and so glor-
iously that the schools of all denomi-
nations and of none, in this and other
States, felt the quickening impulse,
and the whole South thrilled with a
new intellectual life.
For nearly a quarter of a century
this mans life has been the central
force at the college. His spirit has
pervaded its every department. Teach
ers and students alike have felt his in
spring and uplifting presence. He
has treasured the spirit and traditions
of the past and yet has kept the
schools policy skilfully adjusted to all
the legitimate demands Of the pres
emit"
This estimate will be approved by all
who have known the spirit of DR.. Tay-
lor and felt his influence for moral
uplift. not only in the college, but
throughout the State "He has treas
ured the spirit and traditions of the
past" permitted no sensationalism or
freaks, and has not permitted the new
commercialism that measures patriot
ism by dollars to obtain control in the
life Of the institution over which he
so long presided.

Women who suffer with disorders pecu-

is pretty sure to say that he cannot do

Dogs jealousy of a Pony.

Maddened by jealousy because the
affections of his young masters TAI
been usurped by a pony, an English
bulldog attacked the horse in the sta
BILE of Attorney f. G.. Perkins yester-
day, and in the battle which followed
the pony was so badly injured it will
probably have to be shot. says the
Pittsburg Post.
For some time the bulldog had been
a special pet Of Mr.. Perkins's childrcn1
Mr.. Perkins last Wednesday secured a
beautiful young pony for the children
and they at once forsook the dog,
transferring their affections to the po-
ny. They put in all their leisure time
about the stable petting the pony and
feeding it apples and other deli
cacies. Meanwhile the dog became sui
len and snapped at the pony's heels at
every opportunity.
Finally the dog succeeded in gam
ing access to the pOny's stall yester-
day while the coachman was out. and
made a ferocious attack upon the
horse. In agony from pain, the pony
succeeded in breaking its halter and
rushed from the stable closely follow
ed by the dog, which kept biting his RI
va at almost every jump. The POM
ran out upon Penn avenue bleeding
from several wounds and almost mad
with pain. Before he had gone far the
dog reached him again, and making a
wild leap caught the pony at the
throat.
Several men passing at the time ran
to the assistance of the coachman, who
had followed the animals, and a des
perate struggle ensued TO release the
dogs hold upon the pony's throat. The
men pulled and dubbed the dog al
most to death before he relaxed his
jaws. The dog was carried back &c
the stable and safely chained. Al
though a valuable animal, he will be
shipped away from the Perkins home
today. Meanwhile the children are in
tears over the affair, as they will prob.
ably lose both their pets.
