LEND YOUR SUPPORT.

In Fridays issue OF the MiSSOurian
was an article disclosing the fact
that the business men and teachers
of Columbia have raised guaranty
fund of more than $500 to assure the
coming of the St. Louis Symphony
orchestra in January. These men
have shown a Willingness to support
an enterprice which they feel is worth
while and they should be compli-
mented for it.
But it should be seen to that these
men do not have to use this fund in
making up any deficit. 1t takes 81 300
to get the orchestra to come here.
OF this. SLIGO has been raised No
trouble should be found in raising
the remaining $40. The orchestra
is really something worth while.
Every student should eagerly lend his
support.

CHANGES IN TABLE SILVER
Knife Handles of Ivory and Mother Of
Pearl No Longer Seen-Lavish
Display Frowned On.

All OF the latest knives and forks
have handles of silver. which has en-
tirely superseded the white handles
OF ivory and mother of pearl. The
silver is found to be more substantial
and is less likely to be spoiled or
broken by constant use. Silver plat
ters also take precedence over the
ones of china for the serving of all
meats. poultry and fish, as they hold
the heat better and insure the sery-
ing of these courses piping hot. a
thing not possible with china.
1t is not customary abroad to place
half a dozen knives and forks of va
rious designs. some for fish and some
for fowl and some for no one knows
what, alongside the plates before a
dinner is begun. But for each course
as 1t is removed the waiter brings
the tools" for the next. Not only is
this bit of show done away with. but
1t is considered bad taste to spread
out an array of silverware before
your guests. an act which appears
rather parvenu. as though the object
OF feast were to make an exhibition
OF wealth. 1t is taken for granted
by ones guests that there is plenty
OF silver to go round.

have the mayoralty job held down by
a Republican, even after he was elect
ed congressman and away in Wash
ington. So he delegated his power to
Democratic justice of the peace.
This irritated the Republican council.
which appointed a mayor itself. Then
the Republican president of the coun-
Gil rose in his wrath and declared that
in the absence of the real mayor in
Washington, he was mayor, SO there.
That made four. Then Congressman
Mayor Anderson, hoping to simplify
matters, wrote back from Washi eston
'deposing" the Justice of the peace he
had first named and substituting a Re
publican. But the Democrat said he
had po right to depose him without
coming back to town.
At this point the riddle was good
enough to take into court. Congress-
man Anderson. aside from his attempt
to provide the town with superfluous
mayors and real political comedy,
has had an interesting career. Like
Senator Lorimer. the blonde boss"
of Illinois. he began his career as a
bootblack in Fremont, (O.) streets.
That was at ten years of age. At 16
he had saved enough to buy a home
