LEAVITT LEAVES
FOR NEW YORK TODAY

R. j. Leavitt, until recently manager
of the Los Angeles Motor Car company,
handling the LOcomobiIe product, will
leave this morning for New York city,
where a deal pending will be closed
that upon his return will enable him to
announce his representation in the fu-
ture of the Los Angeles Motor World,
in which he has been a most prominent
factor for a long time. That he will
remain so need not be doubted, for he
is an enthusiastic automobile dealer, a
dead game and fearless backer of his
judgment on cars. precisely as the
trained horse owner knows his animal
and what it will do. Leavitt will be
gone until the end of the month.

news that James A. Vannatta of Hack

team the coming season. The former
varsity player will fill the vacancy

Slice Sometimes Useful

On another occasion, at Morris coun-
ty during the amateur championship
tournament in 1898, Douglas sliced a
full shot round tree in manner that
made the onlookers gasp. This master
shot saved him stroke, and inciden-
tally demonstrated that there are times
when a slice is useful. On one occa-
sion a we'll known amateur sliced his
brassey shot so that the ball went
sailing over a fence separating the
fairwav from a road, The ball. how
ever, struck a passerby on the head
and bounded back over the fence to
within a few feet of the hole, where
upon the player rather ambiguously re-
marked that it was the first time he
ever got any satisfaction out of a
sliced ball.
When Henry Vardon toured the
American links a number of years ago
he continually astonished the gallery

DON'T GOSSIP

Jewish woman once repeated a
piece of gossip about a neighbor. 1t
flew from mouth TO mouth, and soon
all the town knew the story, which
caused the person affected a great dea
of unhappines0.
One day the woman discovered that
the tale she had told was not true,
and in the greatest sorrow she went
to the rabbi to ask in what way she
could make atonoment for. and repair,
the wrong she had committed
The rabbi heard what the woman
had to say, and he told her to go to
the market, have a fowl killed, pluck
1t on the way home, and drop the
feathers one by one as she went
along
The woman was surprised at this
curious means of atonement, but she
did as the rabbi instructed, and on
the following day came to him again
to report that she had carried out
his behest.
Now" said the rabbi, "go and
collect all the feathers and bring them
to me-"
The woman went along the road
she had traversed on the previous day,
but she found that the wind had
blown the feathers away. and after
an all-day's search, she was only able
to bring back two or three.
you see," the good rabbi said to
her gently, at was easy to drop the
feathers, but is an almost. impossible
task to bring them back again. SO
it is with gossip and SANDER. 1t is
easy to spread false reports about
thy neighbor, but It is impossible to
make good the wrong thus committed.
Go thy ways and avoid gossip."-Ex,

ditions, he is going after the inform
alton which viii make greater jus
tice not only possible but. certain. He
therefore asks Congress for an appro-
priation which win enable the Com
mission to do this work.
Win Congress give it? Not If AL
drich, Cannon q Co., can help 1t. The!
don't want any scientific revision.
While some of the rest of the people
are still cussing Taft for his friendli-
ness with Aldrich and Cannon, those
gentlemen realize that his move to
find out the tariff facts is about the
hardest blow he could deal them,
and they are fighting it hard. Maybe
when the fuss is over, the people will
have found out the same thing. In
this matter too, Taft, will be on the
side of the insurgents. and so, again,
those fighters are likely to get the
best of IT,
But, more important than anything
else just now, is the fact that af-
ter all. the thing that is worrying
Congress is not Taft, but reelection.
The message is interesting, but very
little will be done about II, and what
Is done will be with a view TO re-elec-
ton. and the Fall campaigns rather
than because Taft wants It, or be-
cause It ought to be. Congress is in
session for the purpose of doing all
1t can to re-elect itself, and all other
considerations will have to take back
seat IL will only be by a fight and
the use Of some larger weapon than
he has yet employed that Taft can
dragon Congress into getting down
TO business for the sake OF the countr
or can get any real attention for his
policies. The question in the back
ground is, viii he do Il? People are
waiting for his corporation message

MESSIAH CONCERT COMING

The privilege of again hearing Han
del's greatest Oratorio, the Messiah
will be given to the citizens and stu
dents of Berea on Tuesday evening,
Dec. 81 at 1880.
The Oratorio will be rendered UNI
der the auspices of the Harmonic
Society and the direction of Mr.. Raj
phi Rigby.
The solos will be rendered by four
of the leading soloists of the Chicago
church choirs, and members of the
Apollo Club one of the most noted
musical societies of America.
The rendering of this Oratorio has
come to be a much priced feature of
the Christmas season. In maintaining
festival of such high order the
Musical Department of the College
merits the appreciation and the cor
dial support, as well, of the whole
student body and the citizens. It is
PECULIARLY fitting that college COM
munity should become a center for
music that is not only entertaining
but educational.
Choral festivals, such as that to
be given on next Tuesday are coming
to be feature of American life as
they have long been of English and
German life. In chorals, the Messiah
has always been 4 favorite. 1t was
first given in Dublin. Ireland in 17i1,
for the benefit of charity and a few
years later was rendered before, the
King Of England at London. When
the Hallelujah chorus was sung the
King and the whole audience rose to
their feet giving rise to a custom
which yet is observed.
The expense of such an entertain
ment are considerable, but they can
be easily met If the audince is large.
The prices, 10 cents for general ad-
mission and 10 cents extra for reserv-
ed seats, have been purposely placed
low that a large number may avail
themselves Of the opportunity.
Let this musical festival be the
event of the Christmas season for
every student and citizen Of Berea.

TWO HOMES BURNED

AS usual the cold snap last week
brought its fires, and Berea suffered
from two of them. The first came
Friday night, and destroyed the house
in Boone Street, owned by Mrs. Sinda
Baker and occupied by Mr.. Johnson.
The family escaped with nothing but
their night clothes, except one boy,
who had gone to bed dressed because
of some punishment for a childish
fault. He had all his clothes when
the fire drove him out.
The second fire was on Saturday
evening in the house owned by the
College opposite the farm barns, and
occupied by Mr.. Charles Robinson. No
one but children were in the house
at the time, and it is not known how
the fire started. When Mr.. Robinson
reached the place his first care was
for the children, and by the time ne
had satisfied himself that they were
safe, 1t was too late to save any goods.
Only hard work, led as usual by Win
Tatum and Mr.. Hudson saved the
house next door, occupied by Dave VII
liams.
There is superstition that fires
AID other similar accidents always go
in threes. and good many people. in
town will be less nervous when there
has been another alarm, or at least

The Y. NJ. C. A. boys departed from

and had a social gathering all for
themselves, without inviting in the
other students. About fifty men were
present at the meeting, which was
In the Parish House and lasted from
seven to nine There were good stor-
les and jokes told by a number of
those present, and music specially pre-
pared for the occasion, after which re-
freshments were served. The gather
ing broke up after a round of the
good old hymns and the more modern
gospel songs.
