Virgins WON BY
SCORE.OF I7'TO IS

Saturday afternoon the basketball
team of South Mississippi College
played its first game of the season
against the Virgins High School team
at Virgins, the game resulting in a
defeat for the college boys by a score
of II to 13. The game was hard
fought, and would have resulted in
victory for the visitors. so the PLAYERS
declare, had the officials who refereed
and umpired the game been compe-
tent. Because of lack of competent
officials the game was played prac-
tically without rules, which gave
distinct advantage to the home team,
it being composed of much heavier
men.
1t is expected that several more
games will be played. some of which
are scheduled for Hattiesburg.
Though light weight, the college
team is well trained and capable of
playing with the best teams.
Following is the lineup:
j. J. Williams. center; A. w. Cara
way, left forward; G.. c. Thames, left
forward; ]. C. Landrum. left guard;
G. NJ. Landrum, right guard; Lewis

AMERICANS IN BRITISH PuLPITs
ciergymen from This Country Preach
In Places of Nonconformist's.

American preachers are going &c
London in increasing numbers every
summer and autumn to fill leading
Nonconformist pulpits while the Eng
lsh pastors are away on vacation.
This was strikingly illustrated re.
Gently when DIR. Frank Gunsaulus OF
chicago preached at the City Temple
Dr. s. Parkes Cadman of Brooklyn at
the Whitefelds tabernacle, DR..
Broughton of Atlanta at Westminster
chapel, Mr.. Emery Hunt of Dennison
university (Ohio) at the Baptist
chapel, st. Johns Wood, and Mr.. H.
Nude of Portland, Me-, at Stoke New
ington Baptist chapel.
BY the way, Mr.. Gunsaulus' opinion
has been sought by an interviewer
regarding the assertion by Rev. w.
kingscote Greenland that London is
the wickedest city on the earth. and
that, man for man, the Englishman Is
more immoral than the Frenchman.
Mr.. Gunsaulus has known London In.
timately for 16 years and has a pro
found admiration for the city.
i cannot" he says, BE a pessimist
IN London. l agree with DR.. johnson
tnat he who is tired of London is
tired OF life. ! always learn some
tning new about London's work for
humanity, and l cannot understand

which has broken upon London during
tne last 10 years. l can see it each
Time come here. There is no city
l know OF which encourages Chris.
tians as London does"
Londoners love to be patted on the
back, and they are saying quite nice
things of Mr.. Gunsaulus.

Not every one realizes the medi-

AFFAIR FOR FAMILY
WASHING HEADSTONES IN COUN'
TRY GRAVEYARDS.
Matter of Routine for Which One Day
In the Year Was Set Apart
Some Lots Left In
Neglect.

The wellordered city cemetery OF.
fers a sharp contrast to the cemetery
of the countryside--the one laid out
regularly by landscape architect and
kept continually spruced up by the
labor of many gardeners; the other a
wilderness usually, where trees and
briers and vines grow as they Will,
says the New York Sun.
So when man whose early days
were spent in the country views
Greenwood or Woodlawn or other less
pretentious cemeteries his mind goes
back to the graveyard he knew. 1t
lay, and still lies, on hillside where
the sun came oftenest; wall OF
stones piled unevenly surrounded IT.;
within the paths ran crookedly this
way and that, bordered by wild rose
and honeysuckle and the weeping will
low, scattered in natures splendid dis
order.
But he remembers that most OF the
tombstones cleaned just as white IN
the sunlight as do the more elaborate
tombstones he is contemplating. or
course in the city the men attached
| to the cemeteries see that the tomb
stones are kept clean.
How was 1t in the country? Surely
| the aged sexton who dug the graves
didn't take care of them after the last
words of the burial service had been
said.
So he recalls that each family
looked after it's own burial plot, not In
haphazard fashion but as matter OF
routine. There wasn't much senti-
ment in the performance; it was part
of the years work.
A day in the spring, he recollects,
was set apart for this duty. II you
lived at distance it was quite an I'M
dertaking.
The wagon was loaded up with gar
dening tools and scrubbing brushes
and soap and big wash boiler. AT
the house nearest the cemetery you
called and got this boiler filled with
hot water. He recalls that the water
stopped over on his bare feet as the
wagon pursued an uneven course
through the burying ground.
The first thing was to give each
marble headstone a thorough scrub
bling with soap and water. Then a
little rough gardening was done, not
enough to give the graves a trim ap'
pearance, but sufficient to mark each
from its neighbors.
It was the custom Of all the country
side to keep the headstones bright
and many persons could be seen work
ing theoretically with scrubbine
brushes on any early spring day. But
some graves were neglected, he re
calls; all the family had died OF
moved away and the graves they de
serted were fast being covered from
sight in riot of brier and tangled grass
It must be that the graves Of his an
cestors were that way now, for all hi
kin not dead had found homes else
where on the EARTH These lines from
Longfellow's "Morituri Salutamus'
come to his mind:
Each at some well remembered grave
will kneel
. And from the inscription wipe the weeds
and moss
For every heart best knoweth Its owl
; loss.
And he resolves as he comes out 0
his day dreaming that he will go bacl
some day and see that the headstone
are polished bright again. But b
never does.

A Mstanhor with a History.

To know hawk from hernshaw'
is a metaphor with a curious history.
Il is a comparison drawn from fal.
conry. "Hernshaw" is a corruption OF
"heronshaw," or young heron, a bird
which was a common prey OF the fal-
cons. To know a hawk from hern-
shaw therefore Ii to be able to dis
tinguish the falcon from its prey. A
further colloquial corruption crept into
the phrase-"to know a hawk from
a handsaw," form used by Hamlet
in one place. Possibly the distinction
between a hawk and hernshaw was
found not to be strong enough for the
purposes Of the proverb.
