Edward Amherst OFT

The above distinguished lecturer
delighted a crowded house Friday
night with his Sour Grapes
His lecture was able and pointed
upon many human foibles and fail
ings, and his lessons of life suggest
ed the foolishness of plucking a
bunch of sour grapes when a
cluster of delicious and luscious
fruit is within easy grasp. Or If
some lottery of life brings disappoint-
ment it is unwise to pamper and pet
it into a sour disposition, and refuse
all glimpses of the sunshine that
may be enjoyed along life's pathway
Human nature is not very differ
ent; its joys, its disappointment, its
misunderstanding are much the
same. Philosophy advises us t. give
and take of the joys of this brief
trip, because we pass this way but
once; and tomorrow we NAV die"
There are no sour grapes unless
our minds make them sour. The
same mind could sweeten them
for the JOY Of self and others-an
what a delight to the understanding
intellect to recognize a sweet and
beautiful disposition guiding clever
ness

The Old Way and the New

The college women in the Unlver-
sity of Illinois are to have the first
opportunity ever offered to women
to study the relative advantages of
the housekeeping of our grandmoth-
ers and those of the present time.
The Department of Social Science
has rented a large dwelling house
near the campus, and divided it into
two equal apartments. One isftted
up according to the most approved
theories of household economics.
Heating, cooking and laundry work
are to be done by electricity. The
floors are vanished and covered
with rugs.
The other apartment is fitted up
in the good old way Of our grand
mothers. Coal, wood and coke will
be used to heat the rooms as well as
to cook and wash. Oil lamps are
used for lights, the water will be
drawn from a pump, and carpets are
tackled on soft pine boards. Glasses
in household science have charge of
the apartments. Careful account is
to be kept of the expense. the con-
venience, and the time consumed in
the preparation of all the food and
the discharge of all the other do
mestic duties.

young man whose mother was a Pro-
testant, joined the Romish church.
Pressure was then brought to bear on
the mother, and when she would not
yield, her son was shut up in prison,
and only released when a promise
had been extracted from her that she
would become a member of the papal
church. Thus she denied her Lord
that she might see her son again, and
now, though she attends the Protest
ant hall as often as she can, her joy
is gone, but we trust that she is one
of those that will be saved-yet so as
by fire. In this case the mother beg
ged the Protestant pastor to take
some action that would lead to the
release of her son, but what could be
done? The Protestants set their
faces against all kinds of lawsuits,
and this one, if it had been taken
up, would have been dealt with by
the local official. He would simply
have tried to patch the matter up and
avoid the feud that Rome would GER
tainly have caused, and in which she
would use means to gain her ends
which a Protestant would not and
could not employ.

contributions, and today sent the follow

born at Madison:
Sensational Madison dispatch pub

will vote against proposed investigation
Of Mr.. Stephenson. because of covert
threat that Stephenson proposed to tell
how he had spent money In my behalf
in former campaigns.
Let no threat deter any friends of
mine from supporting the resolution to
investigate charges of violation OF law

Trouble grew out of business differences

funds.
After the failure, several years ago
Hood attempted suicide.
