That is, there are no children between
the ages of nine and twelve years who
are not in school or being taught at home

| ment of Fruant Olicer w. u. Laae, who
| knows more about 1t than anyone else.

snd in case or two the children are re.
ceiving private instruction.
Mics Pauline Kline entsrtained the
Ladies' Reading Club, Tuesday after

interest. was discussion of the subject,
''The Servant" Miss Margaret Smell TAX
ing tho affirmative in the debate. She
contended that the mistress is usually
m.re to blame than the servant for the
troubles that arise between the house,
wife and her helper. Mrs. Minnie Lee

by numerous other speakers, the discus
sion being general. Thanksgiving quota:

refreshments were served. and the after |

the club has spent for long time.
Another star was added to the Ameri- |
can flag on N Noyember 10th, when Okla |
bona and Indian Territory were jointly
admitted as one OF the American states. |
In relating what happened in Oklahoma
when the news was received, an Okla
homa dispatch says: 1.-THE news quickly
spread, and it was but few moments
before pandemonium reigned supreme.
Every bell in the city rang out the glad
tidings. from scores OF whistles there was
continuous blast of over flowing Joy.
Cannons, anvils, horns, shotguns, and in
fact everything noisy was brought into
use. Squads OF men marched the streets
yelling and firing salutes: every small
boy raked out the old election horn and
everyone seemed determined to make
Rome howl. Crowds poured into the
principal streets and the Stars and
Stripes went up on every side."
"George, dear, you are the sweetest
and best husband in the whole world
GEORGE, 1 simply couldn't live a day
without you. Look into my eyes, darl-
ing, and tell me that you love me as 1 |
love you. are We not the happiest things
alive, darling? And you're go good and
generous. You do want me to be happy, !
don't you, my husband? You want me
to be pretty like other women, don't you,
sweetheartF Do you think I look we'll |
in green2 That green princess was a |
lovely thing, wasn't it, dear? But think
how long were it! saw a terrible |
pretty piece of goods, something like it,
yesterday, sweet. And only $l.s9 yard.
One e-i-g-h-t-y-n.i-n-e.' IsA't that

Many students in few days will have
gone home to spend the Thanksgiving |
vacation with the "old folks" and it is |
hoped the season may be one of feasting |
and COED cheer for all those SO fortunate. |
However, a thought should be given to |
those who are unable to 60 home for this |
brief respite from daily duties, and they
should be made to feel tina: it is not such |
q hardship, after ali. to remain in Cor
Wallis. In many a home the presence of |
one or two of these college young people !
would be real pleasure on 1hanksgiv-
ing day, and no doubt there are mothers
and fathers in this city VINO will open
their doors and extend an invitation to |
some of these perhaps homesick boys or
girls, to come and eat turkey on that day.
1t is not charity but little act of kind
ness, such as you would like some one,
in similar situation, to extend to your
own son or daughter, were they away
from home at holiday time.
