Most people know that it is etiquette

Most people know that ii is etiquette
at the papal court for women, what
ever their rank. to appear in black,
but few know that an exception to
this rule is made for the Pope's Sis

and church ceremonies, but the old

Another little known point of papal
etiquette is that women who come to
the public or private audiences must
keep the right hand uncovered; in
deed. it is even more correct for both
hands to be ungloved.

MEETING is HELD.

The first meeting of the Day Dodg-

day at Earlham college. Prof. Men
denhall who is the governor of the
boys dormitory told the representa-
tives of the day dodgers the work Of
the councils at Vassar, Michigan and
several other colleges. He stated that
great care should be exercised in
forming a constitution and he there
fore suggested that the work on this
commence Immediately. Prof. Men
denhall stated that great good can be
accomplished by the student councils
but there are always a number of
students who try to buck" They are
only hurting themselves and not any
one else, he said Next week a meet

which first steps will be taken to-

This body of Selects" as they are
known held a meeting last week in
which they proposed a number of res
olutions that we're not only a discredit
to themselves but a disgrace to the
college.
The remarks by Prof. Mendenhall
to the council shows the faculty is in
favor of forming the Day Dodger
council, Dormitory council and the
Girls council into one big body. This
would be great benefit in many
ways and would be one of the great
means of bringing the day and dormi-
tory students into a closer relation.
There has always been some feeling
between the two classes of students.

VERDICT FOR $1,000
Portland Man Wins in Suit
Against Father-in-IaW and
Members of Amish Sect.
WIFE INDUCED TO LEAVE

Portland, Ind, Jan. 23.-The jury in
the Paille damage case returned a YER
dict in favor of the plaintiff and as
sessed damages for $1,000. Paille
brought suit against his father-in-law
and other members of the Amish sect
of Adams county for alienation of his
wife's affections. 1t was claimed Paille
insured his barn against fire which is
contrary to the teaching Of the church.
The barn was destroyed and Paille
collected the insurance. His father in
law induced Paille's wife to leave him
and had him ostracised in the com.
munity. He was expelled from the
church, also. The case attracted more
attention here than any that has been
tried in recent years owing to the
characteristics of the contestants.

This Subject Will Receive Re.
speCtfuI Consideration at
The Corn School.
CAPABLE INSTRUCTORS
HAVE BEEN SECURED AND IT IS
EXPECTED MANY WOMEN WILL
TAKE THE coURsE-ARRANG
MENTS BEING MADE.

The domestic science course will
prove one of the most interesting fea-
lures in connection with the corn
school to be held at Centerville Feb
ruary 1-6. Competent instructors have
been secured and the committee is ar
ranging for everything that may in
any way add to the attractiveness OF
this course. Farmers wives and
daughters are not the only ones who
will be interested in the course offered.
1t is expected that many of the Center
willie women and few from Richmond
will take the course.
Announcement was made by the
committee this morning that it has
obtained Miss Agnes Smiley Of Piqua,
O., Miss Cirginia Meredith of Cam
bridge City and Miss Elsie Marshall OF
this city as lecturers and demonstra-
tors. The demonstrations naturally
will be one Of the interesting phases
OF the course. Ranges will be set up
and the scientific preparation of vic
tuals shown. The domestic science
section will meet in the Christian
church.
The general committee Of the corn
school desires it announced that the
regular course tickets for the corn
school will entitle the holder to the
lectures only. The scoring classes can
not attend on a day ticket. The reason
is due to lack Of space. Accommoda-
ton has been provided only for the
pupils in the stock Judging and corn
scoring schools. SO the day ticket
holders can not be accommodated.

Mark rwain's Gam. Of Billiards.

Mark Twain's Game Of Billiards.
One day Mark Twain was in a bill
lizard saloon, when a particularly un-
prepossessing looking man approached
him and asked him to play a game.
The humorist consented, and they be-
gan in earnest.
"Pll be perfectly fair with you," said
the stranger. "pll play you left hand
ed"
II felt hurt" said Mark Twain when
he told the story, "for he was cross
eyed. freckled and had red hair, so I
determined to teach him a lesson for
his audacity. But he won first shot
and ran clean out, taking my half
dollar, and all got was the oppor-
tunity to chalk my cue"
The wonderful play of his opponent
so astonished Mark that he exclaimed,
Great Scott. if you can play like that
with your left hand I'd like to see you
play with your right!'
Il can't" replied the stranger as he
sidled out of the room. You see, I'm
left handed"

NEW FREIGHT HOUSE
Reported That Pennsylvania
Will Put Up Additional
Structure This Year.
BUSINESS WARRANTS IT.

Again come reports that if bust
ness warrants, the Pennsylvania Rail
road company will this year erect a
duplicate to the present freight house
to the west of this building. No Off
cial confirmation of the report was
obtained however.
More than year ago before the re-
cent panic the company had such a
local business that it intended tc
erect another building Land was
purchased and cleared for this pur
pose. Plans and spe cifications for q
freight house were also considered
However with the panic, business de
creased so that it could be accommo
dated at the present structure Now
however, business with the company
is again assuming such proportions
as to make it necessary for an addi
tional freight house.

Scrap Book
In q Bad Way.

In Bad Way.
A doctor came up to patient in an
ilsane asylum, slapped him on the
V,ck and said: "Well, old man, you're
all right. You can run along and
write your folks that you'll be back
home in two weeks as good as new"
The patient went off gayly to write
his letter. He had it finished and
sealed. but when he was licking the
stamp it slipped through his fingers to
the floor. lighted on the back Of a
cockroach that was passing and stuck.
The patient hadn't seen the cock
roach. What he did see was his es-
capped postage stamp zigzagging aim
lessly across the floor to the base
board, wavering up over the Dashboard
and following a crooked track up the
wall and across the ceiling. In de-
pressed silence he tore up the letter
that he had just written and dropped
the pieces on the floor.
