SUNDAY At WALESEA::
HOW DAY IS SPENT.
The Students Attend PRAY.
er Meetings and Listen
to Good Sermons.

In order that fathers and mothers
of the boys and girls who attend school
at Waleska, may know what they do
on Sundays, will give you the whole
story of Sunday here.
will take Sunday, Sept. 26; At
early dawn the chapel bell was rung
Tor the young mems sun rise prayer
meeting. 1t was little chilly and be-
fore sun rise, too; but this did not
hinder the boys from coming out.
Most, but not all, of these BOYS were
the young preachers.
While the sun was rising these boys
were singing, praying, and telling their
Christian experiences, which warmed
us all up with new determination to
live better in the future. When we
were dismissed we returned to our
boarding houses for breakfast.
After breakfast we cleaned up our
rooms, studied our Sunday-school les
son and got ready for church. BY this
time the bell was rung for another
young mems prayer meeting, which
meets in the college building, while the
Junior League holds it's meeting in the
| chapel This prayer meeting was at
tended by a good number of the boys
Uncle Nath Thompson was with us
and we had good meeting. We were
dismissed at eleven o'clock for preach
ing by Uncle Nath. He told us about
the meeting that they were carrying
on at Gainesville, and then he preach
ed a fine sermon from the following
text: THE voice of him that crieth
in the wilderness, prepare We the way
OF the Lord, make straight in the des-
ert a highway for our God. isaiah

After dinner, at three P. NJ, we were
again called to the chapel by the bell
for Sunday-school. We have a good
school with 271 on roll and 239 present
today.
After Sunday-school the young
preachers and Christian workers met
up stairs in the college building to be
instructed by Rev. A. T. Hind and
Rev. Nath Thompson, who gave us
some good instruction for about three
quarters of an an hour. The girls were
holding their prayer meeting in the
chapel at this time too, and then we
were dismissed until the Orphans
Home exercises that night. The chapel
was crowded and one of the finest Or
phans Home exercises l ever heard
was rendered They collected $3.50
for the Orphans at Decatur.

A Baby With a Football.

w ~ ~CS> >>SS> N~~0C
Did you notice in last Sundays funny
page the story of the baby who had
crawled through broken place in the
fence and captured the football while
the boys were waiting to begin the
game?
The football team is composed of
frightfully fierce-looking youngsters,
with mass of long hair, and faces dis
torted by malice aforethought, but
every one stands with folded arms and
puzzled eyes, gazing at the football
held by the victorious infant,
The baby's father kneels on the
ground beside him, and imploring the
boys not to take the ball and make the
b&by CRY.
Time has been when the child 3 father
would have taken the ball forcibly,
without hesitation, and if the baby had
cried about it, he would have been pun
ished.
Children have been in ancient times
prosecuted and down-trodden race,
but in this generation, they are in dan
ger of becoming overbearing lords of
creation in their infancy.
AS a matter OF course those boys could
get their football from the baby with
out violence by giving him some other
toy, and that is what they did-unless
the doting father gave his watch as a
finer plaything.
However, it is tribute to the kind
ness of boyish hearts-that group of
misunderstanding kickers standing as
if it at bay before the baby with their
ball.
A certain millionaire in New York
has family OF about six children to
whom no one has ever said don't"
They have been cared for assiduously
by nurses, private teachers, special in
structors, and devoted parents, and
each one is growing up to be accom-
plished in some way and useful to the
world. They are extremely unusual boys
and girls, but they have been we'll
trained from their birth
What children need most is to know
how to think and reason about things.
Atheart-deep down in human nature
there are angelic impulses ss we'll as
original SIM" People who are given
to doing or saying unkind and cruel
things, are alluded to as "hasty''-they
do not take time to think before they
act The meaning OF inconsiderate and
thoughtless, as applied to conduct, also
illustrates this.
To be sure we do not always have
time to think before we act, and it Of
ten happens that while cautious wis
dom hesitates, audacious ignorance
hath done the deed-but the result may
or may not be for the best.
Memorizing facts in history and
science, learning to spell, and being
positive about the multiplication table,
are not to be departed from by stu
dents, but all that is only beginning
in the task of getting an education.
Ones mind should be trained to think
and reason, just as dog is taught to
point and flush birds. A trained intel
ligence is effective, while effort without
knowledge, founders and fails as often
as it accomplishes.
Perseverance of itself is not a great
it is only pitiful waste
of time and energy.
The ancient advice to children to
TRY, try again." has been revised by
an up-to-date, thoughtful investigator
thus:
IF at first you don't succeed,
Learn the reason why;
Then, perhaps, you will not need
To try and try, and try"

Women and Weather.

No truth could be more self-evident,
we believe, than that woman does not
get square meteorological deal in
this world. Fer sufferings when man
carries the umbrella in shower may
be gauged only by the cost and be-
comingness of her new hat, on which
the raindrops drip with sad and ex-
pensive splash. Invariably Easter is
too cold for her new spring raiment
and lingering autumn too warm for
her furs. Bravely does she strive to
defy the seasons and their attendant
elements by meeting low temperatures
with low shoes, and she matches the
upward soaring of the mercury with
collars that attain their highest alti-
tude in awful August. But the cost
No man, we are sure, could realize
what woman suffers in and for her

About Happlness.

There is no more beneficial tonic
than good, hearty laughter. 1t in
flates the lungs and has magic eff
feet upon the system. Giggling is not
laughing, and it is habit that brings
wrinkles and soon spoils even pretty
face.
Why not laugh? 1t improves the ap-
pearance and makes one popular.
There is nothing to be glum over, and
if there is being glum will not help it..
Be happy and bright and everyone
will wish to help you.
The girl who wants to be beautiful
must sleep with fresh air, plenty of it,
in her room. She must go out and
revel in the sunshine. She must find
plenty of laughter in her daily life
that is the only true way to live and
the only way capable of bringing
beauty.

Man Evidently Was Satiated with the
Delights of Vacation.

1t Is related in Mr.. Stewart Edward
Whites book, THE Mountains" that
once upon a time a man happened to
be staying in hotel room which had
originally been part of suite, but
which was then cut off from the 9th
ers by only thin door, through
which sounds carried clearly.
1t was about eleven o'clock when the
occupants of that next room came
home The man heard the door open
and close. Then the bed shrieked
aloud as somebody fell heavily upon it..
There breathed across the silence a
profoundly deep sigh.

and in some cases even $250,000.

PortIy Gentleman In Right Mood to

various operas in connection with a
very fine graphophone. Cylinders at
five dollars apiece send forth the

compartment with precision that

Caruso began to- carol forth from
the metallic horn the other evening,
and so perfectly did his voice come
forth that the roomful of diners and
winers became hushed and still. At
the close of a particularly magnificent
