DESIRE BLONDE CHILDREN,
Many People Want Light Children
When Adopting Little Ones.

Strengs gs It may ,seem, said 9
prominent philanthropist in the New
York Tribune, not @ few children OF
the thousands who must be cIassed
as street waits receive a valuable in
her!tance OF blue eyes and light hair,
which, without too great o stretch OF
the imagination, may DO called
golden. While l do not pretend to
understand the psychology OF the
question, facts will nevertheless bear
this out.
or the great number OF requests re-
ceiyed by the charitable institutions
OF this city for children for adoption
the majority OF those who specify ask
Tor the blue-eyod, golden-haired type.
SO. you see, the inheritance OF such
coloring is a sort of open sesame"
TO a good home. This curious predi-
lection was much more marked 10 or
10 Jears g than 10Y but it stu
crops up occasionally and is certainly
an Interesting trait.
The figures II letters ob,ainablc
at charitable institutions contain in
formation corroborative of this state
ment. For instance, in the records Of
the New York Juvenile Asylum, al
institution which for the last 90 years
has given a real home and useful
training to some 10000 children who
would otherwise have grown up in tho
slums and has placed 5000 of them
In outside homes, mostly in the West,
thnrn 10 n ,>N,Ittt..I1 ID "a . -, =.
for children to be adopted. Some OF
them show this curious blue and yell
low choice.
Can you send n child cut here for
adoption? says II lcttcl from a West
ern state which every year receives
many children from the institution.
III so, have you a little girl with blue
eyes and curly golden hair?'
We should be glad to give n good
home to n little boy, a Y anotnor. We
prefer IL with light hair and blue
eyes.
or curse a brunette complexion Is
no hapdicap to the child for Which
tho juvenile asylum Is striving to get
a square deal. But those who wish
to adopt ~light-haircd children gennr-
ally specify on this particular, since
on other points the Judgment OF the
asylum authorities is regarded as suf-
ficient.
One man who has long watched the
work OF this and other institutions OF
a similar kind insists that the psy-
choiogy Of a selection is Simple. Ac-

MANY WILL o
Against Latimer For His Seat in
the Senate.

Tho Probable Candidates Are Being
Mentioned ana Groomed by Their
Many Friends.
The coming race for Senator Lat
imer's place continues the principal
topic throughout the state. Follow
ing the custom of the governor, the
adjutant general, attorney general
and secretary of state being all first
termers will have no material oppo-
sition in the campaign a year off, SC
except for this senatorial race it will
be an off year in South Carolina pol
itics.
Interest then naturally centers in
the senatorial race, particularly SO
in view of the way the probable can
didates grow in number. Senator
Latimer has said emphatically that
he will make the race to succ.. ed him
self, and it is practically certain that
Col. George Johnston of Newberry,
Ex-Governor John Gary Evans Ct
Spartanburg and Dan S. Henderson
of Aiken will be in the race with
him.
Ex-Governor D. c.. Hayward has
been spoken of from time to lime as
q probable candidate, but he says
that he is done with politics and will
not enter this contest. He prefers
to devote himself to business here
in Columbia, where he is very com
fortably situated.
Congressman A. f. Lever is very
popular throuoout the state on ac
count of his ability to bring things
to pass for his people at Washing
ton, but it is not likely that he will
enter the lists, He has told some of
his closest friends that he had finally
decided not to enter.
Mayor K. Goodwin Rhett of Char
lesion is thought by many to be
grooming for the race, but at pre-
sent his chief interests seems to be
in Charleston and immigration. In
conversation he rather discouragcs
the idea that he will make the race.
EX-Spcakcr Of the house, M. l..
Smith, is a splendid stump orator,
and a man OF ability generally, has
been mentioned as q candidate but
it is understood here that he has de-
cidcd not to enter, although there
is talk that he held of from the race
for governor last time in order to
get ito this senatorial game,
AS will be seen it at least is Ger
tain hat MIR. Eatimer will have
some OF the strongest mon in the
state to play against.

Shooting the Whale.

The Norwegian whale fisheries ey-
tend ovor nearly the whole OF the Arc
tic Sea, from the north Of Norway to-
ward Spitzbelsen and even to the
Shetland Islands.
The whales are shot from small
steamers. the implement used being
the so-called bomb harpoon, an arrow
shaped iron spear furnished with a
line, which Is discharged from o
small cannon.
Tho whale often drags the vessel a
long distance until it becomes OK
hausted and expires. 1t is then
towed to the anchorage, whore IL is
stripped OF the blubber.
This whale fishery was begun by a
we'll known Norwegian, Svond Foyn,
In 1868. While only thirty whales
were killed in tho first year, 1850
whales were taken in 1897, when 513
men were engaged on twenty-five
steamers. At first only the btlbher
was utilized for train oil; now the
bones are crushed for and
the flesh is used for fodder.

A certain major general In the
British Army took a great interest IN
tao subject of compulsory education,
and would frequently pay a visit to
the village school, which was stu
atcd near his country seat.
One day he had been giving them
u brief sketch Of the lines Of some
famous generals.
Boys" he concluded, you all
know the great George Washington
was a general. Perhaps you also
knew | ain a general. Now, can any
one tell me the difference between
George Washington and myself?"
Il know, Sir" answered a young
ster at the back Of the room.

a lie, SIR shouted tho boy in exult-

and get them as far as the Rockies
before VIC could check them. What
y the remedy? Why, says Mr.,
Maxim, the United States should
spend two hundred million dollars to
equip a fleet in the Pacic as large as
J%apan'S.
We believe that the first predic-
ton is a safe one. We predicted
about the same thing when the Japs
and Russians were fighting, and we
arc surcr OF it now than we were
then, The japanese think they can

] HUSBAND
3ne Could Not Bear
sht of Separation.
TO Kill. HIM.

Mrs. Charles Avery, Of Cleveland,
Ohio, Doomed to Quick Deatl,
From Cancer, Having Been Told
She Would Live But n Few Days
Longer, Attempted to Take Hc1
husband With Her.
Doomed to quick death from
cancer and crazed at the thought OF
parting from her husband, Mrs
Charles Avery, Of Cleveland, Ohio,
thirty-five years old, and well known
in society, shot him twice with a re-
volver Sunday night in their resi-
dence, 1911 Superior avenue.
The first bullet struck Avery in
the back just over the right kidney
and may cause his death. The
second bullet tore through his left
wrist, as he turned toward his wife
to enter on q desperate struggle for
possession Of the pistol.
The Avcrys came here several
years ago from New York. The
husband is at the head Of the Glove
land branch OF the Upton Tea com.
pany. About q year ago Mrs. Avery
was stricken with cancer, and six
months ago she submitted to an
operation in the Lakeside hospital,
but with only temporary relief.
Wednesday she summoned a spe-
%cialist, and insisted on his informing
her OF his opinion Of her case. Ho
told the woman she had only a few
days to live, md at once she cried
she could nou bear to think of dying
and leaving her husband behind her.
The Averys have been almost in.
separable companions since their
marriage almost fifteen years ago.
1t is not known how Mrs, Avery
obtained the revolver, and she has
refused to answer any questions.
She sent the nurse from the bed
room on an errand and then asked
her husband to search in a drawer
for a book of poems. Crossing the
room, Avery laughingly remarked
q drawer in q bureau was a strange
place to keep q book, and his wife
said.
"Now, boar with me, Charlie,
dear; dor't know why | asked the
nurse to put it there"
Avery found the drawer filled
with articles of wearing apparel,
and while he was rummaging for the
cook his wife crcpt up behind him.
She startled him with a cry:
"Cnarlic, well die togcther!"
The husband had no time TO glance
