decided that the Senior class should
leave something on the campus as
memorial TO the class. This will be
tree planted during finals by the
senior class. and followed next year
by another tree and so on by all the
succeeding classes.
One of the features of finals will
De a baseball game between the

something unique in the history of

NOVEL IN A LAWSUIT.


"Shibboleth," a novel written Just
before her marriage, may prove an
important factor in the suit of Mrs
Susanne Ella Wood Dean to recover
dover rights in the $1,400,0O0 es-
tate Of her late husband, John e.
Dean
According to the testimony brought
out in Chicago the couple signed at
the time of the nuptials an agreement
settling upon the wife only SIS.
in the event of her husbands death.
Her attorneys maintain that as a
young unsophisticated person her love
for Dean was such that it overshad-
owed any consciousness of her rights
as his wife, and that she signed the
agreement without understanding
what it meant.
Attorneys for the defense - they
represent the Dean sisters, who are
now in possession of the estate of
their father maintain that she was
in possession of every faculty and
knew exactly what she was doing.
This they seek to establish by means
of letters and q diary which may be

Dr. Britton D. Evans. the brilliant
aiienist, said at recent dinner in
New York
Then there is the cunning lunatic.
of whom there used to exist good
example at Bridgetown.
There was half-witted youth in
Bridgetown to whom the neighboring
farmers liked to offer a penny and a
nickel.
Gathered about him in circle on
market day the farmers, one after
another. would say:
Now, which'll yer have, Peter?
Here's cent-here's a nickel-take
yer choice
And fool Peter would invariably
choose the cent rather than the
nickel. and the farmers before such
incredulous foolishness would roar
with laughter, double in two and slap
their legs nvisily with their brown
hands.
'Peter?' / said one day to the
lunatic. why is it that you always
take the cent instead of the nickel?'
"Peter grinned very cunning
grin.

he. would ] ever get chance to take
another one?' Washington Post.

WANT PICTURE oF KIrcHEN.


"a phase of the servant girl ques-
tion that was new to me was sprung
yesterday when ] called at the em-
ployment agency to hire cook, .
said the nervous Boston woman. "A
prepossessing looking girl was
brought forward for an interview.
Her first question was, Have you
any pictures of your kitchen?'
II said / had none
e" 1T is always best to bring them,
said the girl loftily. 1T saves time
and trouble, for with them to look at
a cook can see at glance the posi-
tion of the sink, the tubs, the range
and the cupboards and can tell If the
place will suit her
While was adjusting my mind to
that phase OF the proposition another
woman with wider experience than
mine piped up that she had brought
views of her kitchen. From that min
ute was out of it SO far as that par
ticular cook was concerned. The pic
lures met her approval and the other
woman hired her on the spot. I
asked the manager if it was the GUS
tom for housekeepers to produce
views of their home when hiring SER
wants.

sense that girl was right; it does save

WHY YOU TALK NONSENSE IN
YOUR SLEEP.

In a paper on the mechanism and
Interpretation of dreams, read re-
Gently before the neurological section
of the Academy of Sciences, Morton
Prince, of Boston, stated that dreams
are in reality psychoses, or types of
delirium, and are characterized by
the same general symptoms, If one
may speak of symptoms aside from
disease. Mr.. Prince said he did not
believe with Freud that every dream
represents the fulfillment of a wish,
but rather that it represents the un-
fulfillment of wish or the fulfillment
of fear.
One woman mentioned by him al
ways dreamed that she was surround
ed by myriad of cats. and she would
usually awake when they seemed to
be attacking her or when she was
thrown helplessly among them. I'M
der hypnotic influence it was found
that in early childhood this woman
had been greatly frightened by a pet
cat, which had scratched and bitten
her, and that the memory of this oc-
casion, although seemingly buried
deep in the tumble of past expert
ences, nevertheless had certain psy-
Geological coloring which caused it to
be resurrected only during uncon-
scious states.
Such facts, he said, may explain
in a measure the curious and appar-
emily utterly illogical single words
and statements coming from the lips
of those in deiirium, but it will al
ways be found that, just as in many
hallucinatory states of the insane, the
mind is working at a tremendous
rate, much faster than the organs Of
speech can record the ideas, and
hence what comes to our ears from
the dreamer is simply mass Of nom
sensical words.-New York World.

WEDDING CUSTOMS.

The little customs that have come
to be part OF the marriage ceremony
have had diverse and interesting
origins, The ring has played an Inn
portant part.
With the coming in of Christianity
it was no longer placed on the right
forefnger, but on the left third
finger. The priest, or in some cases
the groom, first put It on the thumb.
saying. I'm the name Of the Father"
ON the forefnger, adding. In the
name of the Son. on the second
finger, continuing, "In the name OF
the Holy Ghost;" then on the third
finger with Amen and there 1t re-.
mained.
The bridal veil originated In Bible
times and was worn until all the
public ceremonies we're over. In the
Anglo-Saxon wedding ceremony q
square piece of yelling was held over
the head of the bride to conceal her
embarrassment.
In the later Bible days, during the
period between the betrothal and the
wedding, the bride remained with her
friends and could communicate with
her affianced only through "the friend
of the bridegroom"
Throwing shoes originated in the
old Jewish custom of handing to the
purchaser Of land an old shoe as
token of surrender or remuneration.
The brides father gave shoe to the
husband or threw it after him to sig
Nifty they surrendered to him all au-
thority over their daughter.
Throwing rice symbolized fruitful
ness and plenty, from its general dis
tribution over the world.
Taking the husbands name orig
mated in Roman times, though the
date is unknown. When Julia mar
ried Pompey her name became Julia
of Pompey. Modern women omit the
"of'' in the name.-Delineator.

Lovers of Burns will rejoice to
know that the Aud Brig of Ayr,
which few years ago was apparently
in danger of complete collapse and
destruction, has been carefully re-
paired and reopened to the public in
such condition that it bids fair to
remain firm and intact for century
to come, relates the New York Tri-
bune. There has been no rebuilding
nor remodelling. The same old stones
are still in precisely the same old
places, but new cement has been in.
jected into the joints, and the struc.
ture, while retaining all of its an
cient aspect, even to the undulations
of the roadway and the broken
backed south arch, has thus been
made as strong as when it was new.
1t is not often that an ancient relic is
so successfully repaired, and the
achievement is cause of pride to
Ayr and of qualification to multitudes
throughout the world.

The vote indicates, however, that
there will be no difficulty over it, and
certainly there Is serious need of the
amendatory legislation that it offers.
Existing law has been inadequate be-
cause of the way in which it has been
interpreted. 1t prohibits the killing
OF certain kinds of birds, and also the

WOMEN FIELD HANDS.

When that famous poem, "The
Man With the Hoe,'' was first printed
one of the most widely heard com
ments as to its fitness to conditions
of American rural life was that we
had no such conditions in this coun-
try as inspired Millet's we'll known
painting. Every one who went out
to Nassau County in the last fort
night to see the automobile racers
do their "tryouts" had occasion to
change their minds. If they held that
opinion, by the spectacle presented by
the women who work in the fields in
that section of Long Island.
Every morning by o'clock one
could see groups of these women on
their way to work in the fields, with
their skirts kirtled up to their knees.
their feet and legs innocent Of shoes
and stockings Many of them trun-
died baby wagons of some sort with
them, and all day long the babies
would lie out in the fields while their
mothers or temporary nurses would
be hard at work in the fields hoeing
or wedding the crops.
Although most Of these women
were Of foreign birth, they did not re-
semble the animai-like women in Mil
let's canvases. for the simple reason
that they had already absorbed some
of the brightness of our country folk
and always had time to show a keen
interest not only in the flying racing
machines but also in those Of more
leisurely speed. the touring cars, and
more particularly in their occupants,
for whom they had bright-eyed
glances OF appreciation as bits Of rer
lief to the ordinary monotony Of their
lives. New York Press.

The numerous warnings sounded
by men who have been thinking about
the future, that too many people
were getting away from the farms of
the country, is evidently beginning to
have practical effect, asserts the
New York Globe. Over fifty applica-
tions have been received at the free
employment agency of the State sta
tistician's Offices for places on farms
since the publication few days ago
that such labor was in demand. This
quick desire to seize the possibilities
of country life would seem to indicate
that there are numerous men who are
not so fixed in urban habits as some
people have thought Perhaps they
are tired of the city struggle, where
for them it is constant grind or
short rations for themselves and their
families. A growing realization that
dollar win go a good deal further
in the country than in the city may
also have some influence. That a
good many fnen. especially men with
families, can live more comfortably
and more healthfully in the country
there can be no doubt Congested
