civilization lies not in the diffusion

Farewell to DIR. Cornelius.

1t is with genuine regret that the
people Of Berea give the parting
word TO DIR. Z. Cornelius, who with
his estimable wife, leaves this week
to establish a home in Tulsa, Indian
Territory.
DIR. Cornelius is a native Kentuck-
ian, was student in Berea College.
and after taking his medical course
in Louisville began the practice Of
his profession here. In all the years
since then he has steadily grown in
to the hearts and lives Of the people
not only Of the town but of the com
munity for miles around.
He has built up a practice and
acquired a reputation Of which any
physician might well be proud. His
work has been lucrative but that is
far from being its chief characteristic.
Like the good DIR. Mcclure in the
Bonnie Briar Bush" his work has
been one Of love and self sacrifice
The people have been his people and
in serving them he has never spared
himself The entire significance Of
such a service cannot be know. There
is scarcely home for miles around
but could add its testimony to the
Doctors skill and kindness. His rare
insight into difficult cases and bis
admirable way Of handling them have
saved many life.
The community takes his depar-
ture as personal loss. 1t grieyes
not only for the loss Of his rare skill
as a practitioner but because his GO
ing takes away a valuable friend and
wise counsellor.
But Berea's loss is anothers gain
we congratulate the people Of Tulsa
in securing the service Of high
grade physician aud surgeon and the
fellowship Of a Christian gentleman.
II is safe TO prophesy that DR.. and
Mrs Cornelius will do nothing but
good wherever they 90.

Two Peculiar Birds.

The great bustard (Otis tarda), a
bird still found in the southern prov.
inces of Russia, is the heaviest Euro
pean fowl. In size II exceeds the Nor.
wegian blackjack. The old males at.
tain a weight of thirty-tiv pounds,
and where food is plentiful specimens
weighing thirty-eight pounds and even
forty pounds have been captured.
These birds have disappeared from
western Europe, where once they were
almost as numerous as partridges, and
are seen only in small fiocks in the
sand hills skfrting the lower valley of
the Dnieper and here and there along
the north coast of the Caspian. The
hen lays eggs as big as ordinary pears.
A larger and heavier bird, the casso.
wary, is incapable Of flight, but 1t can
kick with the strength Of a mule, and
uses the sharp. bony quilts OF its wings
as n cock uses his spurs. = London

whistIer's Effective Addition.

James A. MacNeill Whistler, the
American artist who lived so long In
London. had his own way OF dealing
with patrons. After he had painted the
ceiling of the famous peacock room"
for MIR. Leyland the latter refused to
pay the bill, declaring 1t exorbitant.
Whistler did nothing for some weeks;
then he made another trip to the room,
put on his studio clothes and set to
work in front of one Of the two pea
cocks. A few days afterward Mr.. Ley
land, who knew nothing about Whis-
tiers finishing touches, brought friend
to see the room. To their astonishment
they beheld a peacock grasping huge
pile OF gold coins in one of It's claws.
Next morning the artist received a
check for payment In full, together
with a polite offer OF extra payment II
he would restore that portion Of the
picture under the birds claw to the
original design"

no attention TO her in1unctions.
ARgry at his apparent Indifference,
she said at last; what do you know

Is right and what is wrong"
Barrymore swung around and faced
Modjeska, pretending to resent her lee
ture. "You made me-" he cried de-
rislvely. 'Nyhy, was an actor before
the public when people did not know

This had reference TO the London

banquet Co the Ladies OF the clio Club.
On Monday, March 18th, the Clio
Club was banqueted by the gentle
men members at the Masonic Hall.
The guests began TO arrive at S.l5
O'Clock and enjoyed a social hour,
until 8 o'clock. Then as the orches-
ira played a march they marched
into the banquet hall TO their places
at the table.
During the serving Of the several
courses the orchestra furnished splen.
ded music and added much to the
enjoyment OF the occasion.
After justice had been done 10 the
fine supper, j. NJ. Early as toast.
master explained why the company
was gathered together and the value
OF social intercourse. He then
introduced Mr.. w. II. Porter who
presented the toast, "A Fellow Feel.
in" which carried with it the
thought Of the good will, inspiration
and encouragement, obtained only
by social contact
Mrs. Cornelius was then intro
duced to respond TO the toast, "Our
Hosts" Her words won hearty APP
plause. Then the toastmaster let
his wit have sway and by the intro
duction given to Mr.. Woolf high
expectations were raised for the toast,
"The Club" TO which he responded
most satisfactorily. Mr.. oolfspoke
of the value the Club has been TO its
members, of the high standard of its
literary work and OF the good feeling
existing and increasing among its
members and their friends.
After this Mr.. Early spoke of the
faithful earnest life and work in
Berea of DIR. Cornelius and of his
many friends, aud asked him to re-
spond to the toast, "Should Aud
Acquaintance BE Forgots" The
Doctor certainly assured them that
il would not, and made them feel the
value OF true friend. The Clio
Club loses in DIR. and Mrs. Cornelius
true and earnest members, who will
be greatly missed in the literary and
social undertakings of the club.
The Club aud its friends wish
them God speed" and success
which will undoubtedly be theirs in
their new home.
Those present at the banquet were
as follows: Mr.. and Mrs j. M.
