A CLEANER COLUMBIA.

- The citizens and inhabitants of
Columbia have every reason to feel
proud of their town. 1t is forging
rapidly to the front in every respect.
Not only is it developing its COM
mercial relations, but its moral. in
tellectual, and religious sides of life
as Well
In comparison with other towns Of
the state, Columbia is morally a good
town. 1t has made great improve
ment in this respect in the last few
years. But it has not yet attained
n state of perfection and there is
room for Improvement. The position
which Columbia holds as a center of
education demands that she be made
as nearly perfect in morals as it is
possible for any place to be. She
should be as model to the other
towns and cities of the state, in order
that the youth of the land may be
safely entrusted to her care.
With men in Office who have the
welfare of Columbia, at heart, and
who know its needs and deficiencies,
there can be no doubt that there will
be a yet cleaner Columbia.

HERMAN HOELKE.
A Missouri Editor on Football.

Arthur Aull, editor of the Lamar
Democrat, says he can already see in
his minds eye that hated Thanksgiv-
ing headline, The Jayhawkers VIM"
He says "A husky young man quick
as flash and strong as a blacksmith
would make a peach Of a center, but
Professor Snooks exports that he's
Professor Snooks reports that he's
and the habits of the Neolithic man
to be allowed upon the eleven. And
so it goes. Missouri will no doubt
bring up eleven young men who have
made good in their studies and who
are exemplary students in every par
ticular, but Kansas will bring up
eleven fellows who can play football
The nice, classy boys upon the Co.
lumbia team will die game and all
that, but being chosen upon their
knowledge of abstract mathematics
and the dead languages, they won't
have any show against eleven husky
young brutes who were selected be-
cause they could play football"

Houses on Wheels.

A Worcester bank man SAYS his
bank holds mortgages on 20 houses
whose owners spent the proceeds of
their notes on automobiles. Doubtless
there are others. But if persons wish
to 90 into debt for luXuries it might
as well be for automobiles as anything
else. At that. in many cases it is
possible that the investment is wise
one, for which it will pay to hire
money. On the whole, however, such
transactions suggest tie cynical sign
of the saloonist: If drinking inter
feres with your business, quit your
business" louisville Courier-Journa

Tensile Strenuth of Hair.

A human hair of average thickness
can support load of IA ounces and
the average number of hairs on the
head is about 10000. A woman's long
hair has a total tensile strength of
more than five tons, and this strength
can be increased one third by twisting
the hair. The ancients made practical
Use of the strength of human hair.
The cords of the Roman catapults were
made of the hair of slaves, and it is
recorded that the free women of Car
tlage offered their luxuriant tresses
for the same use when their city was
besieged by the Romans Scientific

In the early hours of the morning
it was when he approached the hotel
desk. He did not realize that many
hours along Broadway had somewhat
disarranged his appearance. No-he
felt sure that his attire was faultless,
his carriage dignified. So he felt hurt
and surprised when the clerk behind
the desk remarked:
We'll, what do you want?"
He fixed that clerk with a wither-
ing eye.
"A room!" he thundered; what do
you suppose? Old clothes?"
And with an air of extreme hauteur,
he followed the bellboy to the elevator.

The Punktown Cent-AnnuaI.
Said Deacon Smith to the council,
Hit pears tew be tn rage
Tew hev celebration
Bout every city's age.
"Why can't we show the people
That our town amt takin maps?
Next week twill be year
Since Punktown's on the maps.
Saint Lou'ell sport dirigibles,
And Doctor Cook, they say.
So it's up tew us tew hustle
And spruce up for Punktown day"
A holiday was then declared;
A city band was hired,
But when they asked a cent a note,
The Mayor had them fired
No one could build an aeroplane,
And Peary sent regrets
When frugal folks declared his price
Would riddle them with debts.
Thus everything just fizzled out,
The hopes of each went down.
When 10, the rising sun showed bills
That a show would be in town.

THE NEW STUDENT.

The new student is here. He has
begun his work and has accepted the
responsibilities OF university life
Responsibilities, should we say? Or
should we use some other term? No,
responsibilities they are and must be,
only, they will often be found of such
a pleasant nature that they will
scarcely seem burdens at all.
A university has been called a little
world in which one meets various
classes of people and a variety of
problems, on small scale, just as he
does in the big world. The way in
which these problems are met largely
determines the character of the indi-
vidual In general the student who
is industrious and pleasant in college
will have the same characteristics
through life.
He who grinds at his books from day
to day is not always the best stu
dent, but he who takes a part in
other commendabie interests along
with his studies. The student who
makes the highest grades is not al
ways the most successful in life,
neither is he who makes the lowest
1t is generally he who strikes a hap
py medium between the two and de-
votes a part of his time to pleasant
harmless association with his fellow
students, and part to the more
serious work of college life.

Baltimore to Have Portable Church.

Baltimore is to have a portable
church, so constructed that it can be
placed on wheels and moved from one
part OF the city to another. Up until
the present time, congregations when
they outgrew their first homes, usually
small frame affairs, simply tore them
down. The problem of saving expense
has been worked out by the inven-
ton OF the portable mission. In other
cities the plan has worked most sue
cessfully. but it remained for Rev. W.
a. Melvin, of 1902 East Monument
street. of the Methodist Protestant
church, to bring the idea to this city

WANT UNIFORM
PACKING RULES
Railroads Seek Aid Of Ship.
perS TO Prevent Loss in
Revenue

With a view of reducing loss by
shrinkage of freight in careless hand
ling and packing. the Central Mana
gers Association is seeking to get tile
o-operation of shippers in establish
ing uniform standards for packing TO
be employed throughout the United
States II is urged that the latter are
not altogether blameless when ship
ments go astray or reach their desti-
nation in a broken and damaged con-
dition.
The association is not alone in this
matter as the subject is being agitat-
ed all over the country. In a recent
address. Charles M. Pepper. a special
agent of the department of commerce
and labor, called attention to the fact
that II is an international matter. In
Vulnerable complaints have been made
to American consular representatives
abroad that goods from this country
are often insecurely packed and in
adequately covered, and that they reach
their destination in badly battered
condition This fact, it is feared, will
affect seriously the export trade from
this country.
In the United States the question of
reform in this direction has been taken
up by railroads and industrial associa-
tions in many sections. Chicago,
Pittsburg. Philadelphia and New York
shippers have had their attention call
ed to the matter by the freight traf-
fic committees representing the various
commercial organizations.

MILEAGE BOOKS
AS LEGAL TENDER
Pennsylvania Railroad May
Accept Them the Same
as Money

Mileage books win be used not only for
the payment Of the regular railroad fare,
but for excess fare. excess baggage,
cigars dinners. drinks. tips to porters,
etc. IL plan suggested by a passenger
official is carried out The new scheme
was outlined at a recent meeting Of pas
senger officials and it is believed that the
new system Will be inausurated by the
Pennsylvania.
Should the practice Of using mileage
books for the payment of all bills on pas
senger trains, in dining cars. etc, be
adopted, It is believed that the mileage
books wiz become more popular than ever
before and that the railroads will be de-
feated in their efforts TO abandon this
form of ticket.
II is contended by those favoring the
new plan that thousands OF passengers as
we'll as all the railroads would be benefited
by such an arrangement They point out
that a number of passengers who seldom
have occasion to use the railroads could
obtain a much lower rate by using mile
age. In some cases the passengers would
be unable to dispose of the remainder of
the book after completing their Journey
and for this reason they are obliged to
pay the higher rate. II is pointed out that
II the mileage books were good for pay
ments OF all expenses on a passenger
train more books would be sold, passen-
gers could secure lower rates, traffic
would be stimulated and consequently
the revenue of the railroads would be in
creased.
