HE'S A COMPETENT ADVISER
Farmers Son Ran Away TO the City
and Now Edits an Anrleul-
tural Paper.

1T Is greatly TO be regretted" was
remarked in the herring OF a farmer,
that farmers boys do not stick to the
farm. 1t seems as II scarcely any OF
them do.
"oh. dunno" said the farmer. I've
raised eight boys and they're all farm
ers 'cept one"
Is that so? Only one of them caught
by the glitter Of the city. eh?"
Yes. that's all Poor Rob would go.

the city when he was ~, and we amt
never seen him since, though It's been
over 20 years. But l dunno but It's
all right; he hadn't no likin' for farm
work. nor wouldn't take no interest
in It. He jes naturally seemed to
hate the farm, and didn't know enough
about farm work to drive ducks to
water"
Yes. think 1t was better that he
should leave the farm, as he evident

mercantile business?'
"Oh, no. nothing of the kind" re-

Athletic Leaaue Proposed.

A movement which promises a revo-
luton in the management of southwest
ern college athletics was set on foot
recently by Prof. John c. Futrell Of
the University of Arkansas when he
proposed new intercollegiate ath-
letic association comprising the state
universities of Oklahoma, Arkansas.
Texas and Missouri and the oklahoma
and Texas state agricultural and me-
ehanical colleges. 1t is proposed to
make this organization on a par with
the southern and Missouri Valley foot
ball and general athletic conferences.
The proposed union would mean much
for the schools involved in that it
would draw them closer together in all
their relations and sympathies. Ath-
letically 1t would mean the creation of
a number of important football and
other athletic contests Of annual oc-
currenee which would come to attain
the same prominence in the southwest
that the Missouri-Kansas Wisconsin
Minnesota and Harvard-Yale football
battles do in their respective confer
ences. The schools mentioned are all
of high standing, fairly even as to ath-
letic strength. and in such close prox-
unity to each other that the venture
should prove great success financial
ly Already Oklahoma holds annual
contests with three of the other schools
and has played them all at various
times in years past. The conference
1T organized, will include baseball,
track, tennis and basketball as we'll as
football. An oratorical association
might be formed in conjunction. It is
said that both Arkansas and Texas
favor the formation of such an assoeia-
tion, While Oklahoma has taken no
action in the matter it is realized here
that such a conference would tend to
introduce system and stability into
southwestern athletics. eliminate the
law eligibility rules favored by some
institutions and give the Sooner teams
a greater degree Of credit for the vic
tories they were successful in winning.

MICE IN THE RAILWAY CARS
Travelling Man Always Carries Trap,
and Catches One About Every
Other Night.

"On my last trip across the conti-
nent ! met man who showed me a
hitherto unsupported danger Of sleep
ing cars" said the travelling man. "The
first night out from Denver he occu-
pied the berth across the aisle from
mine. Shortly after everybody had
turned In for the night | heard him
fussing around and l looked out. He
had baited an old fashioned mouse
trap with cheese and was leaning out
to set It on the floor under his berth
Along in the night thought heard
the trap click The next morning
got up ahead of my neighbor to watch
his maneuvers with the mouse trap.
l felt kind Of creepy when saw him
pick up the trap with dead mouse
dangling from the wire moose. Later
expressed astonishment at my neigh
boris bagging that kind Of game on
transcontinental train.
"'Oh, that's nothing said he. I
catch mouse about every other night
In seasons when | am on the road
most of the time don't know where
they make their nests, but there are
few of the ordinary coaches that do
not carry their share of mice
In Chicago I bought a five-cent
mouse trap and set it on the way
home. but did not catch mouse"

Good Business Transaction.

Asbury park has many points of In.

rus Loomis of Elberton, and three
other men held an option on the tract
of land where Asbury park now is
at a price of 100000, and 1t expired
because It was then thought nothing
could be done with the 500 acres OF
pine woods and sandy shore land.
Twelve months later James A. Brad.

property for 100000. Now the asess-

CASE SYSTEM CT TEACHING
Almost Universal In Study Of Law
Now Largely Used In Eco
nomics Courses.

Radical changes in the teaching OF
economics. consisting of the introduc.
ton of the case system, have been
made by the department of political
economy at the University of Chicago,
says the News Letter of that institu-
tion.
The case system was first employ
ed in the teaching OF law and is now
almost universally used in that sub.
iect The object in introducing this
method into the teaching OF economics
Is to make the student think for him
self and solve problems in economics
as he would in mathematics.
The department at Chicago has pre-
pared syllabus or outline which con-
sists of about 1900 problems, and is
now engaged in printing bi-weekly
bulletin made up exclusively of orig
lnal cases or material descriptive of
our industrial organization.
At the final examination in the
course students are told to bring note
books, text books, outlines and any
thing they wish and are allowed TO use
them freely. The exa-nination consists
entirely of problems.
The experience of the department
proves the present method most sue
cessful, resulting in more individual
work on the part OF the students and
giving them a better understanding of
the subject.

Reducing a BID Head.

Billy Cation. who has just passed
away, was one of the best hdders in
the billiard ranks. Although profes.
sionals rarely consent to act as ring.
ers, Cation agreed to do SO once for
the purpose of tanning an amateur
who was reported as becoming dan
gerously chesty. Cation was intro.
duced under bogus name and agreed
to play the amateur. He won the
bank and the game with a run of
100 at 14.2. Then he turned to the
other and said: you have a very
pretty stroke. I'd advise you to wash
your hands. This table is quite dirty

Chinese Traits.

The Chinese are orderly, law-abid-
ing and well-behayed; they have a
strong sense of right and justiceare
fair minded; they are reliable in com
mercial dealings-pay their debts and
keep their agreements, whether YER
bal or written; they are dutiful to
parents, fond Of children and mindful
of etiquette and punctilious about re.
turning courtesies or fayors; they are
respectful to elders and superiors;
they honor and respect character and
intellectual ability. and do not recog-
nize an aristocracy of wealth This
list might be largely extended, but it
Is enough to show what have under
taken to show--that China has not by
any means to seek abroad all the
requisites for national greatness and
popular welfare; some Of the most i'm
portant are here already-Address to

AGE AND YOUTH COMPARED
Not ADDED Years, but Inability 70
Keep Abreast Of Times
Makes Man Old.

Some men age more rapidly than
others. Of course, and one reason for
this is to be found in the nature OF
the individual man. To those who.
from youth. have kept a firm hold up
on themselves and their actions, who
have seen to it that the fires OF life
have not consumed all Of their reserve
force and energy. and who have care
fully stored their vitality. the increas.
ing years make but little difference
except to widen their sphere OF use
fulness and brighten thei. outlook.
1t Is not so much the years that age
a man as II is his inability to keep
abreast Of the times. The young man
has the advantage &C that hopefulness
and enthusiasm and selfconfidence
which always burn vigorously in the
hearts of those before whom the
future stretches out its long and un-
tried road. Fresh, aggressive and ex.
uoerant, he rushes forth to conquer
the world OF which he has dreamed
The very enthusi. sm o. his nature
stands him in goIG stead and helps
him far on the way he chooses to
follow. but for all the advantage Of
his youth and strength and ability he
lacks the one thing which his older
brother possesses-experience, the
greatest of all teachers. the hardest
OF all masters, the surest Of all
guides. In that one respect, at least.
the mar of years outclasses his youth
full competitor. Mature judgment and
impartial reasoning can only be OBJ
tanned after varied experiences, and
It is only IN rare cases that we hear
of young men possessing certain fac
ulties that will parallel those that be-
long naturally to later period Of
life.--Charleston News and Courier.
