What paper, do any Of you boys

The Judge thought the young lady a
fair newspaper writer, but none of
them recognized her as belonging to
his paper, so far as he knew.
Didn't know there was new
knocker' on my sheet" was the way
one Of the reporters phrased his reply
to the Judge; some OF the women writ
Iers having gained regulations as
knockers for their propensity to take
the gloomy side of their subjects.
At the word "knocker." which the
young lady heard. she raised her eyes
and gave the reporter q decidedly cut

The Judge said 1t was the most cut.
ting cutting look he had ever witness

In the course OF an hour or so the
young lady as deliberately as she had
shaken them of, got into her cloak
and furs and withdrew. handing the
policeman at the door q note in which
she thanked the court for the privilege
OF having been permitted TO practice
on the testimony and stating that she
was studying shorthand In local col
lege.
And then she paid her respects to
the reporter she had already gashed
TO bits by signing the communication
simply: THE Knocker."

of the diseases OF the mind and OF the
moral nature. DR.. McComb also be-
lieyes that IL can help greatly In al
leyiating pain and producing the state
of confidence and hope which are Ia
vorable 10 the cure of all other dis
cases. But organic ailments generally,
no believes. must be left TO physical
treatment. TO medicine. surgery,
hygiene, isolation and skilled nursing.
Something OF an idea of the growth
of this movement Is shown when. conf

PARSON DEFENDS
LOVE PIRATES
AFFihlTlEs NOT ALWAYS CON
scloUs OF WRONG, HE
TELLS FLOCK.

ST. LOUIS, Dec. 9.-"Love pirates
are not always consciously culpable.
The question OF affinity Is strange
and dangerous thing. but Is. neverthe-
less, vital truth OF nature. There Is
such thing as two answerable souls
responding spontaneously without eff
fort or will on either part. When
such natures come together there Is
danger and perhaps consequent suf-
fering to innocent parties. In nine
cases out OF ten there was no wilful
wrong perpetrated or intended by the
guilty ones. but only lack of strength
TO overcome one OF the most powerful
and masterful forces OF the universe
the call OF nature to nature"
These convictions were expressed
by Rev. Phillip Cone Fletcher, pastor
OF the First Methodist church south,
In lecture on Vital lessons In love-"
DIR. Fletcher Is instituting one OF
the most original methods ever used
by minister to instruct the men and
women OF his church on love, court
ship and marriage. To this end he
has sent out printed cards to his men,
bers, declaring that counting couples
are especially invited and encouraged
to attend" To further facilitate their
suits he has inaugurated social
hour" to follow the Wednesday night
services, at which they can make
time"
On the question Of love pirates"
or the problem recently raised by
wives who declare that business girls
usurp their husbands, DR.. Fletcher de-
clares this danger is greater than Is
realized. He takes the blame away
from the business girl by declaring
that her sisters In other walks of life
would be just as dangerous were they
as peculiarly subject to the contagion.
The business woman comes into con-
tact with her employer In a very close
way She enters his business life, a
part that the other woman does not,
and If the dangerous community OF
natures arises there is trouble for all
concerned.
On the question OF courtship, DR..
Fletcher names three things which, as
an ardent lover he would not do.
IL would not visit her too often, not
oftener than six times week.
would not stay too long on my even
ing calls, not later than IL o'clock.
would not propose until were sure
she loved me, until knew by the
fash OF her eyes. the flush OF her
cheek and the clasp OF her hand"

day-Had a Pleasant Time

w. ~ ~ - ASOonltt AllIII
On last Friday Miss Wilks,
principal of the Kollocks school,
brought the school children over
to Bcnnettsville on an excursion.
The B. & G. transported the par
ty free of charge and were glad to
have them come over. They ar
rived in the town about 10 A.. M.
First they visited the court room
while the court was in session and
shown all around by the officials.
Then several of the stores and
other places were taken in.
The school brought along their
own dinner and had it in picnic
%fasion. After dinner a visit was
made to the Advocate Office and
they were shown all the workings
of the newspaper plant. From
this place they went over to the
graded school and were shown all
around that building. Other pla-
ccs in the town was taken in and
the little folks enjoyed themselves
to the fullest extent.
Miss Wilks has a fine set Of pu-
pills and they arc trained nicely.
They preserved perfect order
while on their rounds, taking great
interest in everything they were
shown and moreover gave cvi-
dcncc Of the fact that they were
being trained along practical lines.
1t vas a great thing for them to
get out of the school room for the
day and to get away from the
books out into other life. 1t
meant Il good deal for the children
and showed Miss Wilk's thorough
understanding Of other requisites
for schools besides books.
The return trip was made in the
evening and will doubtless long be
remembered by the school folks.
