EPWoRTH LEAGUERS MAY HAVE NEW CAMP
Northwest Texas Conference Will Take Matter
Up at Annual Meeting al Stamford

October - Panhandle
Methodism will be thrown into
a commotiOn when Rev. c. y. y
Ferguson ; scheme to establish
a second Epworth Lacquer 5
camp in Texas is generally
known. Rev Mr.. Ferguson,
formerly pastor Of the Polk
street Methodist church in Am
arillo, and the builder of that
structure, now financial agent
for the Clarendon college, is the
originator of the proposition. and
is one Of the committee compos-
ed of one from each presiding
elders district to present it to
the coming meeting of the north
west Texas annual conference
which meets at Stamford. Nov.
10. Rev Mr.. Ferguson has been
interested in this proposition for
more than a year, but only today
made the announcement of his
purpose to present the same be
fore the coming conference. He
states that this camp will in no
manner be a rival to Epworth-by
these near Corpus Christi,
but that the state is large enough
for two camps. The one to be
established in this section Of the
state being one that would fill a
long felt want. He argues that
to some the trip to Corpus Chris
ii is next to impossible from fin
ancial and other reasons. but
that should the camp be station
ed near, say in the Palo Duro
canyon. midway between ANA
rillo and Canyon City, thousands
of young Methodists and their
friends, could be accommodated
and benefited, who otherwise
must miss the blessings of the
present camp. 1t is believed
that the scheme will meet prac-
tically the undivided approval of
the conference. Dallas News.

An interesting experiment IS
being made in the higher educa-
ton of women at Kings college,
London. The idea is that there
is just as much educational value
in a careful study of the princi-
pies of managing the home and
young children as in the course
usually read for taking the de
gree. The examinations in such
a course will be, therefore, ac-
copied as qualifying for degree
The lectures are especially adap-
ted to the needs of women wish
ing to prepare themselves for
the efficient management of their
homes, to take up posts as in
SpectorS, lecturers in economics
and domestic science, county or
district councillors, head of instu-
tons and organizers of domes-
tic arrangements on large scale
or to erupon such social work
as health visiting and settle

As he leaves the house bareheaC

The strawstacks in the medder

We have no record of Whit

these lines of his written so long
ago prove beyond question that
he did come and that he was
right here for this is our school
house. Everyone of Us recognize
it. Don't you7
We feel sure these lines were
true when Whittier wrote them
for doubtless the house was
years old then. 1t looks il. We
know they are true today. But
will they be true tomorrow next
spring: We doubt it, Old and
weak as il is. We greatly fear
that, on some awful day, when
the wild north wind comes flying

last been found out, the old house
will SILVER and stagger and fall

LITTLE SUSIE IN DEEP GRIEF
Somewhat Humorous Explanation for
Loudly Expressed Sorrow.

Miss Mary c. McCulloch, super
visor Of kindergartens for the board
of education, told this one to the
Saunterer:
When a child starts to school, it is
provided with a blank to be filled in
by its parents. Only simple questions
are asked. such as the date and place
of the child's birth, the nativity of its
parents, etc.
Little Susie was given one of these
blanks, with the other new scholars
when she applied for admission to one
of the kindergartens in the North End
All were told to have the blanks filed
out and return them to the school the
next morning.
When Susie came to kindergarten
the day following something was
wrong. She began crying almost as
soon as she entered the room, and
refused to be comforted The cause
of her grief did not develop until the
blanks were called for Then little
Susie sobbed:
II fordot my excuse for being
horned. st. LoIis Times.

MAINE GHOST ON HORSEBACK.
Peculiar spoor That Has Struck Ter.
ror to Farmer Folk.

The horseback riding ghost is the
very latest variety that has appeared
in Bowdoinham, and he is a particu-
lar spirit, making visitations only at
certain times.
The hunters ghost, they call him,
and the big man on the big white
horse who comes galloping down the
Lisbon road on the full O. the moon
right up to the side door of Sunny Crest
farm strikes terror to the heart OF
the farmer folk as he raps smartly
with his riding whip on the panels of
the door, Whenever one appears in
answer to the knock the ghost. so
they tell the story, wheels round and
disappears at gallop, turning into
the old woods road much used in revo-
lutionary times by the soldiers of that
stormy period.
Ghost of the old Cap'n, they call
him, connecting this horseback riding
spook with a certain officer of I'M
sayory fame who once haunted the
district of Maine. 1t is on the hunt
ers' moon when the ghost rides
abroad, and nervous people on the
Lisbon road are much disturbed by
this galloping horseman.-Lewiston
