FnOE OTHER PENS
OUR GOLD AND GERMANY.s.

Somebody revived the other dav
the saying attributed to Gladstone
that too much thought on financial
topics caused mental deterioration.
What really tends to mental and NOR
al deterioration is observation of the
vagaries OF legislators upon financial
questions. And this remark is con-
fined to no nation. A telegram from
Berlin this week informs US of the
proposal by members of the appro-
priations committee Of the Reichstag
to make use of "the war hoard of
$40, 100000, which Is kept in the Ju-
Illus Tower at Spandau, for the cur
rent necessities of the empire, In pre-
ference to keeping such a great sum
sequestcred while the country bor-
fcits. Yet this treasure is repre-
scented in the circulation OF the en-
pire by notes issued against the fund.
: It was proposed that the billion of
gold dollars in the treasury should be
used as bank reserves, although 1t
was not explained how the gold GER
tfncates in circulation could be kept
at par II the gold were diverted to
other uses than their redemption.
Nobody thinks that a dollar in pocket
can be spent or used more than once,
but almost anybody is capable. of
thinking that gold In the treasury or
in bank reserves can be both kept
and spent or used, simultaneously IN
every nation except the@United States
gold is tremendously overworked.
Here it is underworked, being dis
qualified by law from uses to which
bond floating. propositions are dis
cussed, happily to be rejected as the
pinch comes.-New York Times.
sUsTENANCE FOR STUDENTS.
The graphic cf1ronicler of men and
events, William Shakespeare, has ex-
pressed through one of his stage char
acters desire to know on what meat
Julius Caesar fed-intimating that his
alleged greatness might be ascribed to
this feature of his diet. Possibly it
will be gratifying to good many read
ers to learn the constituents of the
menu used by those embryo men OF
mark, the members of what is known
as the Yale Dining club, an organfza-
ton that has LOGS students on Its rolls.
The club dining room seats LOO per-
sons and the daily amount of food re-
uuired to feed this army OF mental
workers Is by no means inconsiderable.
For instance, the average daily con-
sumption of meat is 929 pounds. roast
substantial The vegetarians will find
little food for satisfaction In this meary
total nor will the daily consumption of
20 bushels of potatoes and four bunch-
es of bananas Offer much consolation.
| It is true that SO POUNDS Of oatmeal
disappear at the same time, together
with 200 gallons of soup. but as a large
proportion of the latter Is not vegetable
| the general conclusion that the Yale
students are fond OF the heartfer forms
of food isn't shaken. OF course, there
are other big items on the list, items
that merely tend to confirm the i'm

Yale "spoon Men,"

For many Years down to 1872 the
wooden spoon was the most coveted
honor OF Yale course. It did not
necessarily indicate the highest schol-
arship, but 1t was voted by the gradu-
ating class to the most popular man.
The "spoon man" of class was its
hero, according to the Hartford Cou.
rant. The other boys loved him, and
he was almost invariably person who
justified that affection. The list of
"spoon men, would include some of
the most eminent of Yale graduates
There were nine mApbers of each
class selected by theirs classmates, and
these We're known as ''tocks." which is
short and English for "cochleaureati."
To one of these nine was awarded the
spoon, and they all joined in a public
performance called the wooden spoon
exhibition, at which the ceremony Of
presentation was gone through with all
the wit that college class could mas.
ter. The last "spoon man" was Robert
B. Lea Of Nashville, Tenn, of the class
of!A. He died years ago in Paris.

that the project of "internationaliza-
tion" is put forward merely to furnish
"an excuse for butting in" and that
the outcome will be the same as in
Egypt, which is practically British,
although ''internationalized." The de-
mand is that atrocious misgovernment
shall cease, and, that end secured, the

Tho Fail Of the Plug Hat.

In the fashionable precincts Of New
York the Prince Albert coat and the
regulation SILK hat appear to have been
practically abandoned. Fashion has
issued no edict, and the disappearance
Of the stately tile is evidently due to
the fact that something different 10
more comfortable and. in the eyes Of
those who set the pace, 'just az
good" There Is no regulation about
the hats which succeed the stovepipe.
The derby holds the field for most
purposes, but there is also the very
dignif1ed soft hat, in all colors and
shades Of color, which will stand no
end of banging in crowd or scooting
before the wind and take shape again
by little caressing with q brush.
Perhaps the knowledge that the plug
hat doesn't need to be even on the
heads of those who wish to be counted
we'll dressed will bring a sigh of re-
lief throughout the country. Very few
men of sense enjoy having their ex-
pansive and expanded brows held as in
Stocks especially when the thermom-
eter is above 80, the walking bad and
the sun fierce. Neither is it pleasant
to have to jam a hat down to the ears
when the wind blows a gale. Since
there is much good money invested in
silk hats, they will not disappear from
the streets of American cities and
towns for a generation perhaps, but
some people will be pleased to know
that they can be stored in the attic
with no risk of violating the unwritten
laws of fashion observed on the ave-
nues of New Work..

A Happy Evening for Veterans.

The campfire given by the g. A. r
and w. r. G. in Odd Fellows hall last
Monday evening was a most enjoyable
affair, every seat in the large hall being
occupied. Prof. Magee with the Sani.
tarium orchestra made the musical
part of it all that could be desired.
Promptly at 8 So'clock the meeting was
called to order by the post commander
DR.. Stewart. After music by the
orchestra an invocation was offered by
Rev. Chappell Of the M. E. church.
Maj. Miller then gave q most inter
esting description of an armv campfire
and made hit in his description Of
how the army mule came in on the
chorus during the singing. The old
war song "Tenting tonight" was then
sung most aoceptably by Mr.. j. T.
Barnes, Mr.. Kinross playing accom-
parliament on the organ. Mrs. Maj.
Miller was then introduced and read a
most charming and interesting descrip.
tion of her trip in war times down the
Mississippi river to New Orleans and
her experiences in war while a girl in
her teens.
Mr. Barnes again won applause by
singing the "Sword Of Bunker HILL"
The audience was then treated to q
recitation in dramatic style, by Mrs.
DR.. Clark, Of Ben Hur's chariot race
with his opponent. One could almost
see the chariots flying around the ring
and the wreck Of one of them which
made Ben Rur the victor. Then with
orchestral accompaniment Mr.. w. III.
Kinross in most interesting voice and
manner sang "Rocked in the Cradle of
the Deep" The singer resumed his
seat amid roars of applause. Miss Ada
Hurst next charmed the audience and
won just applause in her recitation Of
"Billey, He's in Trouble" Accom-
panied by the orchestra, Mr. Kinross
sang "Marching Through Georgia, y
everybody joining in the chorus, as they
did in singing "The Star Spangled
Banner" which followed and closed
the campfire.
This was such an enjoyable event
that it would seem a most proper
thing for the 'boys" to keep up such
meetings. M.

THE BUFFALO GAP FAIR.
A Large Crowd Enjoys a Successful
Fair and Institute.

The county falr and Farmers Insti-
tute which was held at Buffalo Gap
Tuesday and Wednesday of this week
was great success. It is estimated
that from 1000 to 1900 people we're in
attendance. The exhibits Of agrioul-
tural products were good, there being
splendid variety and of q q uality that
would do credit to many old eastern
agricultural districts. The exhibit
OF fruit was excellent, surprising the
recent homesteaders and delighting
the old d-timers. There we're also some
fine live stock exhibits.
The races we're interesting, Harry
Bai'ey's gray horse winning the run
ming race Tuesday, and Bayliff's bay
winning the main race Wednesday.
Charley Conger's pony won q close
and interesting race. There we're
several other races that were good.
In every way the two days fair at the
Gap was splendid success and so en-
couraged the hustling organizers of
it that they already propose to make
next years fair far better than this.
Hot Springs was largely represented
both days.
The lectures at the farmers insti.
tute attracted large numbers and were
greatly appreciated. Every depart.
ment of the farm and live stock was
and discussed in manner
that was instructive and interesting
and really enthused the farmer with
the opportunities that he has for
bettering his condition. The same
speakers are advertised to be in Hot
Springs Friday and Saturday and all
who can should hear them. Let our
townspeople also turn out and enjoy
the excellent talks by these capable
men.
