LADIES SERVE TEA.
Pleasant Affair Conducted at Manse
by the Aid Society.

Pleasant Affair Conducted at Manse
by the Aid Society.
A pleasant affair was the mission
airy tea given by the ladies of the
First Presbyterian church at the
Manse on West Main street Friday
evening
Rev. and Mrs. Leonard Gill and
the different memoirs of the Ladies'
Aid society, welcomed the guests,
some seventy in number.
In the hail nretty de-. lations of
red, white and Dine bu1 ting adorned
with miniature flags ii ne stars and
stripes and ferns, effectively placed,
made a pretty scene.
In the other rooms used in receiv-
ing, green was the principal color
scheme, green shades being used for
the lights, ferns, palms and other
potted plants with violets, hyacinths
and other dainty spring flowers, fill
ing vases.
The most elaborate decorations
were in the dining room and red
was the color scheme here. Potted
plants, red geraniums, red roses and
tapers and red-shaded lights, added
to the beautiful effect and an invit-
ing nook of the same glowing color,
from which was served delightful
nectar and waters by Misses Rosa
Fincher and Cecile Moore emphasiz-
, ed the charms of this room.
Forty-two and other games for the
older people, outdoor games for the
children, and an old time spelling
match from the old blue backed
speller, for all, made merry even
ing.
Ten dollars was realized from the
free will offerings.

TEXAS PEANUTS TO INDIA.
Four Tons viii Soon Be Shipped to
Bombay.

San Antonio, Texas, March IL
in Texas have just been ordered by
the department of agriculture of the
Indian government, and will shortly
be shipped from this city to Bonn
bay, India. News of the development
of the peanut as a forage crop in
Texas having reached India, that
country will experiment with the
plant as a stay against the times of
famine with which it is afflicted. The
value of the peanut for stock feed
ing has been amply demonstrated in
this part of Texas. Last year thous-
ands of acres were grown. In some
cases the peanuts were baled and
handled as any other forage crop, in
others the hogs were turned into the
peanut fields and fattened for mar
ket. Peanuts transformed into pork
are immensely profitable. Fancy
peanuts are also raised for human
consumption. This year the acreage
in peanuts has been immensely in
creased, and it will soon become one
OF the staple crops. A number of
peanut mills are under construction
and the oil will be expressed. Pigs,
peanuts and prosperity is the South

Something About Small Boats

By Jack Densham.

principles of sailing had assured the
man from whom they hired the boat
that they knew all about handling 1t.
One time in the Solent we picked up
boat with two men in it who had no
idea of rowing. They were windmill
ing wildly with no attempt at keeping
time, and were rapidly drifting out to
sea in the teeth of an offshOre wind.
1t seems that they had gaily drlfted
with their oars put up for sails before
the wind, having fine time of 1t, and
then tried to row back. They found 1T
so easy going with the wind that they
thought it would be an equal cinch to
get back.
These are only two instances of hun
dreds that come under the notice of
every yachtsman. Nobody knows it
all, but some think they do, and that
is when trouble begins. Take, for in
stance, the picture of how to climb into
a boat With care one can get into the
frailest craft afoat by going in over the
stern, vet how often one sees men who
have been in and on the water a great
deal trying to climb in over the side.
Perhaps the most useful hint is the
one about picking up an object in the
water. 1t is the easiest thing in the
world to upset a boat load of people
by leaning out over the side. The best
way to pick up an object from a row
boat is to back up to it stern first and
lean directly over the stern to reach
it. If there is another man in the boat,
he will naturally lean toward the bow
to counterfeit your weight in the stern.
Getting into a boat is another thing
that is generally mismanaged, especial
" by women. In stepping from float
to a small boat one should always face
with the length of the boat, never to-
ward the side. Then, if the boat rocks
and YOU lose your balance, you will be
thrown forward, but toward the bow
or stern of the boat; whereas, if you
are facing the side of the boat, an up
set balance will certainly capsize the
boat and throw you into the water. OF
course, one should also be careful to
step into the center of the boat and not
on the gunwale.
Balancing boat fore and aft is very
important, especially if there be any
wind. In the picture, which shows the
boat s bow out of the water, they would
be in a bad way if the wind blew with
any strength. for her bow would be
blow round almost like a weather vane
with the stern of the boat hinged in
the water.
These few examples of boat craft
may appear very simple and well known
to those used to the water. but even at

Once in a great while the foOl-killer
comes around, and then we read an ac-
count in the paper of how some small
boat was eapsized and the occupants
drowned, generally in smooth water,
and plainly in sight of land.
Fortunately for the average run of
humanity that butts ignorantly and
reeklessIy into boat, it is not the fool
killer but a guardian angel who is put
on duty, and so the floor of Mother
Oceans domain is spared the faint of
many drowned bodies.
The accompanying pictures, taken
from an Eastern paper, are very much
to the point, aud show suecinctly some
of the most salient errors of the aver
age boating tyro.
/ have seen some very raw examples
of ignorance on the part of people who
have actually declared that they knew
all about a boat. l shall never forget
one time in San Pedro harbOr, while /
was out in a launch, passing two young
men in a 2O-foot open sailboat. On one
tack they were doing finely, but could
not understand why the boat wouldn t
sail on the other tack. They had the
lib made fast to starboard and neglect
ed to shift it over when they went
about l hailed them and gave them
the tip, and they thanked me very
nicely.
About an hour afterward the wind
had come up strong from the west and,
on my way back to the harbor. pass

having trouble. / was heading for
them to offer a tow in, when a gust
struck them and over they went. 4
large sloop that was nearer to them
than / ran down and tried to luff up
by them, but overran the boat. One
man grasped the bobstay and was haul
ed in. but the other went down under
the sail. We got there just in time to
yank him out, and pumped him for IF
teen minutes before he came round.
Then we discovered the direct cause
of the trouble. For ballast they ae-
tually had a big iron cylinder placed
lengthwise in the bottom of the boat
and unsecured. OF course, as soon as
the boat listed at all the iron rolled
down to leeward and over she went.
Yet these two youths, who showed
such unbelievable ignorance of the first

proper that has beer offered. Arizona
should be admitted under the present
name, which is distinctive. The prop
osition for the construction of a great
national roadway from Washington to
Gettysburg appeals in a sentimental
way, but it has a fatal defect in the
certainty that It's construction would
be made the groundwork for some very
active, and profitable real estate spec
ulation along the entire route and
would place upon the federal govern
ment the burden OF a road improve
ment that should be borne by the
states of Maryland and Pennsylvania.
No argument worth considering can
be offered in favor of naming the
Philippine islands after MIR. Lincoln.
The mere suggestion contains a hint
Of intention TO retain these islands per-
manently and this, 1t is believed, is
neither the wish nor the purpose of
the American people. The name of
Lincoln would be a misnomer for those
islands, which may or may not be
eventually disposed Of to a foreign
power or given their independence and
the right to select any name that suits
them.
On the other hand. Lincoln would
be a fitting name for the new state to
be created out OF the territory of New
Mexico. Its present name means moth
ing and serves only to recall a chapter
of American history on which en-
phasis is not eagerly placed. 1t would
be a graceful act to give the new state
the name of the man who, next to
Washington, is the most prominent fig
ure in the nations history.
