SOME RAPID COMPOSING.

Sir Arthur Sullivan wrote the overture
to '-The YeOman of the Guard in twelve
hours, and that 20 'Ioianthe" in less space
of time from 9 p. m. to a. M. But
even this capacity for speed in compo-
sitiOn is eclipsed by NJ BOmpard, who
for a wager, has composed the music to
a song in ten minutes. y. Trotere. how
ever, is the composer of whom most quick

song ashore was both written and
composed in forty minutes in Blanchard

on his way home from the Aquarium.
Lest il should escape him, he rushed into

championship. It is said that he actually
composed THE Brow of the HILL wrote
a letter and ran 400 yards to post it, in
eight minutes.

This was putting the thing in a new
light, and the old man began to feel
like he had been pretty mean to old
Bill Crow. He spoke TO his wife about
IT, and she told him if he didn't go out
and get Bill Crow and bring him TO the
barn and feed him and treat him well
from then on, she'd leave him.
Brother Jones got so ashamed of
himself that ne sneaked down into the
woods and hunted up the old mule And
brought him back to the barn, and from
that time on every day was Sunday 70

The story Of old Bill Crow eXcltes the
sympathy Of the congregation before
they see the application, and when the
story is finished Mr.. Cooper stands UP
his aged preacher and asks them if
they are not going to be as good to him
as Brother Jones was to his old mule

puRE MILK NECESSARY.

The inspection of diaries and analysis
of milk furnished for consumption in

ton. and every possible obstacle has
been thrown in the way of health off,
ciais who are honestly trying to en-
force the law for the good of all con-
cerned. That great benefit has result
ed is easily susceptible of proof For
instance, the death rate in New York is
said 70 be conspicuously low and con-
ditions are constantly improving The
commissioner of the board of health. in
commenting upon the showing made.
says:
The recline in the number of deaths
from tuberculosis in the city again is
difficult 10 explain definitely. The gem
ersl education Of the public in this sub
iect has, of course, much to do with it.
One Of the most conspicuous factors in
these vital statistics is the rate among
very young children. Last year, for
instance. there were 5000 fewer deaths
among children under 3 years of age
than in the previous year. viii ven
ture the opinion, although Il cannot be
proved. that the purity Of the milk con-
sumsd in New York is the most i'm
portant factor in reducing the death
rate for all ages"
The explanation is perfectly reason
able. Purity Of the milk given little
ones is the chief factor in their we'll
being and the prevention Of disease and
death. Here in Utah an effort is being
made along the same lines. and Wig

may keep knowledge
When was child, Though
as a child, understood as a child
spoke as child; but when 1 be.
came a man, I put away childish
things"
These quotations might be mul-
tiplied.
In the class room it may b.
truthfully stated, books were a
secondary consideration. Hig h
ideals were first. A young man
might leave his class room not re-
solved to be a better student, but
he could not do so without reso-
luton to be a better man, al belt
he may have stumbled and fall
len in his after life.
AS surely as the Gadarene wom-
an was cured Of her infirmity by a
touch of the Saviour's garment,
so surely was the life of student
affected by daily contact with the
high moral influence which eman-
ated from DR.. Carlisle.
In the ideals, then, of his own
life, shining out from his person
ality, permeating and penetrating
into the lives of those with whom
he came into contact, and his mar
velous power, in terse. bold, con-
else English to impress them upon
others, may be found his wonder
full success as a teacher. If those
who live after him are to impress
themselves as teachers or citizens
upon their day and generation,
they must emulate his ideals and
approximate his moral purity in
their daily walk and conversation
Certainly every Wofford man
present can say in his own heart :
The mother may forget her child
She dandled on her knee,
But I'll not forget thee, great
teacher,
And what thou hast done for me.

MONsTROsITY At BRUNsoN.

most unique products of humanity
on record is at present in evidence
in the town of Brunson. Very re-
Gently a negro woman, a resident
of this town, gave birth to an OBJ
ject or being decidedly, in appear
ance, much more animal than hu-
man. The mother is an unmarried
woman of about IS years of age;
black, of good health and strong
physique. The child, or product
is in appearance wholly animal,
and is in shape, size and general
makeup a fac-simile of an opos-
sum, minus the tail, and furry
skin. In the place of the tail,
there is a stub of about an inch in
length, the end of it suggesting
amputation of the caudal appen-
cage. Inc shape of the four legs
and feet, with claws; the shape of
the head and size of the BODY
limbs and head are all 'possum-
like or animal-like. Only the ewes
are unlike the possum's. They
are larger. rounder and further
back on the sides of the head.
This monstrosity is not living, but
is carefully preserved in alcohol in
the office of DR.. J. L. Folk, resi-.
dent physician. DIR. Folk will
produce it at the next meeting OF
the State Medical Association for
inspection and diagnostic theory
or hypothesis.

Or. CARLISLE. As A TEACHER.

non ct at Mullins.
rIueo'tes subject assigned me re-
O'iIoh' IS the discussion, briefly, of
" the life-work of the most serious
minded and reverential man Il
ever knew. Physically, DR.. Car
lisle was of stalwart statue, tow
ering above his fellows like giant
oak of the forest. His mental
grasp was prodigious;, his memory,
marvellous. Whether calculating
the distances of far away suns and
planets CT delving among the
classics, he was equally at home.
He had at the same time at his
command the wisest sayings of
\ the best prose authors, while quo
tations from the sacred poets ILL
umined his lectures in the class
room and on the rostrum.
In any and all of these fields of
scholarship, however, there are
men who equal and may be excel
him. Hence, elsewhere must be
sought h i S almost miraculous
power and success as teacher.
isAdded, however, to his ripe
~ 'olarship, his wonderful mental
- u" .asp, he was a man of transced-
~ w mt moral quality. No student
'who ever sat under his teaching,
however, immoral he may have
I'M been; no man of the world who
ciai ever heard him speak from the
q church chancel or public rostrum,
but realized in the forum + of his
Al own conscience that he had lis
'r tened to man whose moral quail
OF ity was beyond question or cavil.
= The foregoing statement in re-
gard to the tremendous moral
power of DR.. Carlisle will be uni
versally conceded. yet the inquiry
may naturally arise, what was the
secret of it. Is not, the answer to
. be found in his ideals? 1t will
doubtless be accepted at axiom
that no man is higher or lower
than his ideals, and that no man
is better or worse than his ideals,
he cannot draw taller than him
self.
Of Scotch parentage and descent
in childhood he was taught to be-
heve IN the truth of the Holy
Scriptures; that the Christ.life
was the highest ideal for mortal
man to approximate; that every
man was his brother and that he
was his brothers keeper. Once
these ideals were accepted by him,
in a mental composition such as
his, they were unalterable and ir-
revocable. He reached young
manhood about 1850, when great
men of high ideals were to the
forefront. 1t was in the days of
Calhoun and Preston and their
compeers in craftsmanship, and of
Capers, and Pearce, and Thorn
ton and Wightman in the church
life of State. Men of their mould
were an inspiration to any young
man of like ideals. With ideals
such as have been stated, his pur-
pose in life was single-to teach
young men. From this purpose,
the applause of the multitude, the
allurements of place and power
could not swerve him a hairs
breadth; and from 1854 to 1909,
at times even feeling the pinch of
actual poverty, he rung true to
his calling.
Recurring to his ideals for
moment, has any student who
ever sat under his tutelage forgot
ten some of his Bible lessons, read
1T the chapel exercises: my SON
forget not my law; but let thine
heart keep my commandments, for
length of days and long life and
peace, shall they add to thee
