Col. Bacon's Piano Playing.

Col. Bacon's advantages in this line
have been very great, and he has
availed himself of them fully. The
musical numbers on his programme
for Friday night range from Wagner
and Liszt and Verdi and Paderewski
down to Hell Broke Loose in Geor-
gia'' and Turkey in the Straw -
Young people in Bamberg who love
the piano and are studying it may
learn much from hearing Col. Bacon.
1t has been only about a year since
Col. Bacon spent a whole summer in
Germany.

The Bazaar of the Guild Ladies.

Col. Bacon has never written any
thing more absolutely, more intense
ly humorous than his article in the
Charleston Sunday News of ten or
twelve days back, entitled 'The
Guild Ladies Give a Bazaar" This
is a masterpiece Of wit, and we are
delighted to see that it is on Col.
BacoQ's programme for Friday even
ing in our town. However, every
number on Col. Bacon's programme
is a gem Of humor or pathos or mu-
sic. Don't miss hearing Col. Bacon

Besides the stationary belongings
TO the bathroom-tubs, shower bath,
lavatory and closet-there should be
a room completely furnished, soap
dish, spongeholder. soled linen has
ket, tumbler holder, robe hook, match
box, and toilet paper holder. Each
one of these articles should be kept
in order with exactness and regular
ity. Plenty of soap and warm water
should be used on the enameled work,
with occasional additions of ammonia
The nickel plating should be rubbed
with soft dry cloth, whiting being
used as polisher.
Patent prescriptions for nickel plate
should be avoided, as they often con-
tain an acid that destroys the metal
Sanitary plumbing is of such great
importance in building house every
Item that makes for show should be
cut out If it deprives the bathroom
of the best class of work. Cases of
illness are certain to follow cheap
plumbing, with doctors bills to prove
a severe punishment for the false
economy.
To clean incandescent mantels, first
remove the globe, then lift off the re-

for students who secure no higher
education, and (securesl due recog-
milton for those entering any reputa
BILE college or university. 1t is very
questionable whether any city or
town of our size in the state has a
stronger faculty, nor will we take
any second place for work done.
This may seem somewhat boastful
but, as you come in touch with men
over the state who are acquainted
with educational work, ascertain
whether or not our standard is what
we claim for it. In many things,
people from without are better
acquainted with standards in ones
community than the people of the
community itself and especially in
school work, is this true.
Take a look into the science
department, and learn what is being
planned and done there. Observe
the number of students doing work
in this field. Notice that look of
appreciation in the face of the stu
dents. Then acquaint yourself with
the work offered in English, math-
ematics, Latin, German, spelling
think of that in the high schoolD,
arithmetic, too, and history. To
see something in the above work
does not mean you must be college
graduate. You can learn much
from looking on. You can tell
whether or not the students and
teachers are alive or dead in their
work, and whether or not they are
manifesting the interest they should.
Before leaving, be sure to visit
the library and reading room. There
you will find many good books and
periodicals. This is one of the most
valuable features OF our school.
The policy of our school is not only
to teach the pupil to read, but to
appreciate good reading, and then to
become acquainted with good read
ing material. Good books, maya
zines and journals are to be his life
long companions. In nearly every
case the reading habit is formed
before the age of 20 or not at all.
One thing is true, and that is, that it
is very poor policy to teach children
to read and not teach them what to
read The boys and girls of today
are men and vernon of tomorrow,

This, in itself, is encouraging to

larger high schools, that we do not
deny, but that, after certain num-

is worthless without the latter. AS

The Reader Who Skips.

A good work of fiction, whether ip prose or in verse-we are here speak ing only of good works-is work Of art and can be rightly enjoyed only by entering into sympathy with the art ist's mind and accepting his work ac- cording to his intention. In a perfec, poem the place of every word. in per feet novel the place, if not of every word, of every episode and of every paragraph, Is important, and the reader who skips throws away the pleasure he has meant to derive from the har- mony of composition, in which very possibly the beauty of the whole may chiefly consist, and despises the best part of the artists labor.

CAMPAIGN FOR
 INDIVIDUAL TOWELS

Madison, Wis, April 1O.-The Wisconsin state convention of the Travelling Mems Protective As sociation of America has assembled in this city in annual session. In dividual towels is the slogan of the Wisconsin organization, and the delegates from this state to the na- tional gathering will carry the slo- gan to that body. The war on roller towels is a fierce one, and will be relentlessly waged by the Wisconsin travelling men. The long towel, which is found in many hotels, swung over a roller in the washrooms, especially in the small CT towns, is to be doomed There is a bill in the Wisconsin legisla- ture which provides that hotels and similar places by other names, must have bed sheets which are no shorter than nine feet in length. A clean sheet for every guest is a provision of the bill.

BRYAN ON FAITH
 AT FAYETTEVILLE
Nebraskan Urges Students to a Course of Belief in Humanity and Self, Which, He
 Says, Will Win.

Fayetteville. April S.-Nill:a!n J. Bryan spoke here today from caf- 1iage to about GOO students and citizens on the university eanpHs.
 His subject was Faith on which he recently 1ectured at IIar yard IL was a plea for faith in self, mankind, government and God. He said that faith in one's self sometimes caused bighead, but that this was better than the little head, As to mankind, he said that it was better to trust the people and lose occasionally than to be an infidel in regard to humanity.
 He pleaded for faith in govern ment saying that it was not perfect, that he could prove that by all tbe Republicans when the Democrats were in power, and that no proof was necessary when the Republi cans were in power.
 He declared that every other country had borrowed and incor- porated American principles. He said that every failure in the po- litical or commercial world was due to moral weakness. He urged the students to go into life's battles prepared to take position and de- fend it; that if in the minority at first, right would triumph, and they would some time be in the ma lOrity.
 Any man, he said, who lived an honest, industrious, moral and posi- tive life in one community for % years would be a leader

Both are to be stationed at the exposition, and both have been made ready sixteen days before the opening. The pres
 ence of the tough and resolute look ing Texas and the stately and towering hull and superstructure of the Brooklyn, will revive memories of both the battle that beaming Sunday off the harbor of Santiago and the unfortunate controversy that followed the battle, involving Admiral Schley's pennant ship, which was the Brooklyn. Both the Brooklyn and the Texas will remain at the exposition until it closes.

The temperature of the atmosphere cools on an average about i degree for every 300 feet that we ascend or warns at the same rate as we descend. The mean temperature at the north pole is 0 and at the equator between 80 and 90 degrees.
