 full Semester-SOcial Items

Thorsby, December 24.-(Special.) - Thorsby institute has just closed the most successful term since It's organ ization five years ago and there is good prospect for a large increase of attendance for the term which opens January 3. The members of the fac ulty and the boarding students have scattered to their respective homes for the holidays.
 Prof. c. R. Toss, principal of the Thorsby public school, has inaugur- ated an innovation in the way of q weekly paper published by the stu dents who are organized into a com plete editorial staff The paper is print ed on a typewriter, but Is of preten- tious size, neat appearance and very creditably Illustrated with a profusioa of colored pictures. While but one copy composes the entire issue each week the amount and quality of labor expended is doubtless developing a good deal of latent journalistic ability. It Is work well worthy of emulation by other teachers who have the abil- ity to carry on such work.
 Miss Lila Mae Robinson and her brother Robert are spending the hol- idays with an aunt, Mrs R. NJ. Smith, at Fairmount, Ga.
 Miss Martha B. Binkley Is spending the holidays with her parents at Dem ver Tenn.

Tempest in n Teapot

From the New Orleans P1cayune.
 Quite a little breeze has arisen between the foreign counsels accredited to points in Canada and the Canadian mayors over the matter of precedence. While no min isters or ambassadors are accredited to Canada, as the foreign relations of the Dominion are all conducted through the
 imperial government in London, most for- eign countries acrcedit consuls to the leading Canadian ports and cities. While there could be no doubt as to an ambas- sador or a minister taking precedence over a mayor, the fact that consuls are not diplomatic officers creates some ques- tion as to their precedence over mayors,
 It appears that the mayor of Ottawa ] Insists upon precedence of the consuls at the state receptions of the governor gen- eral while the consuls are equally in sistent upon their right to precede the mayor Just how the knotty problem will be settled we will not venture to predict No doubt the governor general of Canada, who Is something of (diplo- mat, will pour oil on the troubled waters and patch up a modus vivendi.

Marion Crawford at Cambridge

 pr. James J. Putnam in the December
 Atlantic. ssrs .e. F. ap
 From Mrs. Fraser's account, Marion Crawford's career at Cambridge must have resembled somewhat that Of Mr Arthur Pendennis at Oxford. At Cam bridge, she tells us, he did not earn the reputa tion of an ardent student. but he enjoyed himself immensely That term immense" was one which was con- stantly being applied to him by his fellow students. and at last he thought he might as well show. people what 1t meant. He hunted for the biggest trotting horse he could find, had a towering :dogcart built, dressed himself in cheeks a foot square and of out rageous co1ors, and, thus equipped, pa raded the dignified university town. to the scandal of the authorities and the joy of his fellows. He had a clock, a French eimcrack, exactly Initiating a watch, and having instructed his tai Tor to make a pocket large enough to |hold it. he attached it to a big dog chain, the links of which dangled os- tentatiously across his waistcoat. One day at the train facetious stranger, glancing at this ornament. asked him the time. When Marion pulled out a watch two inches thick and as big around as muskmelon, the joker turned white. He thought he was shut in with maniac, and rushed from the carriage at the next stop. But as was the case with Arthur Pendennis, all this extravaganza had to come to an end Heavy money losses came upon the Crawford family, and Marion was obliged to return to Rome and take up the problem of carving out an fnde- pendence. tiff Ms
