If the average citizen was clerk of
court what answe would he make to
the following appeal which has come
to Clerk Marcus Erwin from a dis
tressed citizen of South Carolina?
Dear Sir: I sect myself to drop
you a few lines as I got my licens
there and married nearly 4 year dur
ing that time my wife lac left me 3
times, she will quart all night at me
and on las Sunday was a week ago
she quare1ed nearly all day at me for
not going to preaching with her so
on last Sunday we started and she
COMMENCED quareling at me for going.
Some of her own people says she is
diseased, that the blood runs to her
cad so I wan you to write and tell
me what terms I will have to do to
get a divorce from her"

derful. He knew how to esteem, to
magnify. to enthrall, and he knew
how to dislike and deride and con-
denim. According to Sir James che
was a man Of fine and brilliant
| genius, Of warm affections, Of a high
generous spirit,-a statesman who, at
home, converted most of his oppon-
| ents into warm supporters, who
abroad was the sole hope and trust
of all who sought an orderly and
legal liberty" A great man fell
when he died in 1927, Of paralysis.
on Sth August, in the hfty-e1ghth
wear Of his age. He is one of the
most fascinating and royalty endow-
ed of British orators and statesmen
in all time.
It is really remarkable that so
luminous, so forceful, so accomplish
ed, so diversified, so eloquent, so
cogent an orator should not be more
read and better appreclated than
Canning probably is now. You Will
meet with but little concerning him
nowadays even among men claiming
to be literary and ap~preclat1Ve OF real
literature and true eloQuence. He
was certainly one Of the masters
among Great Britain's famous states
men and celebrated debaters and
Prime Minister'S. I recall thai a few
years ago some one wrote a very en-
joyab1e and clever paper upon him,
but I never knew h the author OF
it was. He wrote in decided appre-
citation of him, and said that IN Can
ming but there is little thunder.
Lucid, lively, and effective reasoning
is the principal characteristic. the
speech on the Catholic Peers bill is
a good specimen Of it." He held him
to be a clever debater, a fine speaker
a celebrated Prime Minister, a mar
of letters, a great and gifted Engllsh
statesman. Another writer OF conse-
c1ence said of him: "Canning's read
ing had supplied him with a GOD
store of illustration. He OF c9EtSe
his speeches; for the ora.ar
never lived who could extemporize lit
erature. He seems, however, not to
have written out the speech, but 10
nave only made notes, and not TO
have used these much in delivery
Referring to his fastidious taste,
and superb abilities he mentioned
that he avoided the "cat's paw
phrasing, and said: He was given TO
Latin quotations, which took we'll IN
a classically educated nous OF COM
mons. We should like to see how a
classical quotation would take now"
Imperfect as ali this may strike the
reader it will help to better know the
British statesman, and may lead 9TH
ers to a study Of n Of the really
famous and great men of his ountry
time. If l could have 1OreSeen
the length Of this article when [ be-
gan, for it is several pages longer in
the manuscript than I contemplated
in the beginning, I would have con-
certain points to which ]
barely referred with more of elabora-
ton. / realize the imperfectiOns Of
this brief biographical study, but now
I reach the end it is too late to en-
the discussion. Recognizing the
real value and Importance of Can
life and exhibition of such ex-
great powers, | really feel
to enlarge the study with an
effort to present more of this great
and orator.

No- body suspected, not even grandma, who was so busy smiling at all the other old ladies on their way to church. It had been difficult getting in the carriage with it under her arm. and although it was hard and seemed to have un-egglike points on it, the ride to church was not so bad after all. And what a beauty it was-all gold except the pink and blue spots, and they had tiny gold specks on them, tool
 Luckily the egg arm was away from grandma, so Helen slipped the egg down into her hand and sat in comfort, though with some misgiving as to the safest way of conveying her burden of guilt into the church. One hand? No, the egg was too big. Both hands? ? friends were always shaking hands. Now, if litle girls only wore muffs at Easter time-but then they never did, so why think of that? Oh, there was Simpson opening the door! Helen made convulsive grab at the egg and hooked it up under the pretty lace ruffles; but the stealth was unneces- sary, for grandma was lowing to a very round gentleman with white hair that stuck up toothbrushy fashion around his nice red face. So here is little Helen, How do, Helen? and he briskly shook her hand. Helen pumped it stifly up and down from the elbow Oh, the egg, the egg! Why hadn't she put it under the other arm That regret quickly left her when grandma took hold of the safe arm and piloted her by it into the church
 Helen wondered why she had never noticed how many miles and miles Of aisle one must travel before grandma's s pew was reached, while everywhere were people staring with knowing eyes that seemed to say, There she is! There's the bad child that takes an egg to church." But the journey end ed, and after little prayer Helen and the egg settled comfortably in the big pew What relief! Well, she was here and so was the egg, and now, when she had listened to the music and had counted all the organ pipes on each side, she could play with the egg and-Helen looked lovingly at its gorgeous glitter as it lay on the crimson cushion, not on the grandma side, but snugy between her and the dark pew wall. Just think of it! Susie had boiled it hard, and then she had painted the spots, and then she had gilded it. and now here it was in church Who ever heard tf an egg in church? A warning poke from grandma, who was becoming curious rennnded Helen that her glee must re invisible as well as ina1dible.
