ECONOMICS IS A FAvoRITE.

The first report of the results of
the new grouping Of studies" sys-
tenn at Harvard is now at hand. I'm
der this system every student must
take at least six of his courses in
some one department and six more
courses must be distributed among
the three general groups in which his
chief work docs not lie. As to the
five remaining courses necessary for
a degree, free election prevails. Of
the present sophomore class-a total
of 1873 are concentrating their work
il economics, SIS in engineering and
AZ in romance languages, English,
history and chemistry follow in the
order named. The report will cause
no surprise. Economics has long
been a popular subject with college
men, principally because it is sup
posed to bear a rather close relation
to the life work of the ordinary grad-
uate.

stolid Visitor Gould Not See Anything
Especially Wonderful In the
Great Cataract.

"A native Of Germany was visiting.
an American friend in New York,
and the latter bethought himself to
take his guest on a visit to Niagara
Falls. The American, accustomed to
bursts of wonderment and enthusi-
asm, was not a little astonished to
see his Teutonic friend stand and
gaze stolidly minute after minute
upon that roaring cataract, without
.evincing the faintest sign Of emo
ton. Finally. unable any longer to
conceal his chagrin and disappoint-
ment, the American turned to his
communion and asked: Don't you
think that's wonderful sight ?"
s'yot" asked the Dutchman. ssWhy,
that gigantic body of water pouring
over that lofty precipice." The Ger
man stood for few seconds longer.
until he got the idea digested, then
looked up blankly and asked: ~Vell.

Rich American Wife Of Foreign Noble.
man Will Stand No Nonsense
From Him.

] Representative Henry Of Texas,
whose campaign against internation-
al marriages has already borne fruit
in the Gould Drexel wedding and
the Sears Vanderbilt engagement,
said the other day in Waco:
: s'My investigation of internation-
al marriages has revealed one good
thing. This rich American wife
stands no nonsense from her for
eign husband. She gives him a
square deal and if he doesn't give
her one in return-bang!
sThere was a young nobleman
who, on an allowance Of $4,000
from his wife, a New York girl, be-
gan to live avery gay life. Then
came the inevitable separation, the
withdrawal of the allowance and the
end to all gaiety forever.
"sI'm sorry, old chap said one Of
the nobleman's friends, Pm very
sorry to hear you've fallen out with
your wife
"sOh, I didn't fall OUT was the
dismal reply. She chucked me out. "

YOUNG VIRGINIA ARTIST.

Miss Virginia Wood is one of the
very youngest and most talented Of
American women artists. Like many
daughters OF the Old Dominion, she
migrated few years ago to New
York city, where she soon came to
the fore. In her work Miss Wood
employs either chalks or charcoal !;
and she has been so exceptionally
successful as a portraitist that her
services are almost continually in
demand by women of fashion and
wealth. Still on the sunny side Of
twenty-five, Miss Wood Of Virginia
and New York is an extremely pref
ty girl, with an animated manner
and possessed of many qualities
which make her socially popular.

MILLIONS TARoNe TO MECCA
Arabian City 10 the Religious Capital
Of one-seventh Of the Hu-
man Race.

Although one of the most inacces-
sible cities on earth Mecca each year
has visitors in such number that it
must be ranked in this particular
with London and New York. Even
the worlds metropolis on the Thames
can boast no such cosmopolitan
character as is impaired to this mys-
FERROUS city in the wilderness of Ara
bia by the myriads of pilgrims, who
at the cost Of incredible pains annu-
ally crowd into its confines.
This city is the Oldest place of
resort in existence, yet of all the mil
lions who have visited it not score
of Christians are known to have
come out alive. No flag of citizen
ship would save mans life were he
known to be a Christian within the
sacred precincts of the city. where
the Prophet himself decrecd that no
unbeliever should set foot.
OF the 225,000,O0O Moslems in
the world only 15,5oo,oo0 live I'M
der the Turkish flag, yet most Of
them acknowledge the sultan of
Turkey as their caliph, the success
sor of the Prophet. AS Mohanmed
shrewdly foresaw, the Mecca p,l-
grimage binds together his disciples
into unity which could be effected
in no other way.
"Mecca," says DR.. Samuel NJ.
Zweher of Arabia, "has become the
religious capital and the center Of
universal pilgrimage for one-seventh
of the human race" -Harper's Mag
azine.

'HoBNossED WITH ROYALTY
Senator Carriers Tale Of His Visit to
London Quite squeIehsd Mr..
NeWlyrlch.

A newly rich railroad man on one
occasion bored Senator Carter with a
description Of his first visit to Lon
don. The new millionaire was
rather snobbish in his ways and say
ings. He told Of the great people
he had met and finally asked Carter
if he had ever been in London.
"Oh, yes, frequently" replied Car
ter.
"Where did you put up?"
Buckingham palace" was Car
ter's rejoinder, and he proceeded to
tell his newly rich friend how he
and Queen Victoria and the late
King Edward, then the prince of
Wales, and all the royal family had
breakfasted together. Carter went
into details giving the different
breakfasts every morning at the pal
ace. He switched to the luncheons
and finally to the dinners, which he
described in detail, telling how huge
diamonds were set in the gold din
ner plates and how the prince Of
Wales pried out several and handed
them to Carter for keepsakes. Then
Carter remarked ON the jolly times
he had rolling on the floor playing
with the royal children, and this rig
marole lasted for an hour. In the
end his newly wealthy friend seemed
to be utterly crushed.

A New City Marshal.

On Wednesday night the city
council elected Bascom Muncey
marshal in place of Milt Evans, re-
signed. Mr.. Muncey qualified, with
William Justice and Augustus Sny-
der sureties. Bunk Smith was a
candidate to succeed Evans but
was defeated by a vote of to 2.
1t is to be regretted that the coun-
Gil thought it proper or necessary
ilspense with the services Of
night marshal. During the hours Of
daylight town of the size and
character of Louisa can pretty near
ly take care of itself. AS a class
our people are orderly and well dis
posed. There are no saloons, and
disturbances are rare. AT night,
however, it becomes somewhat diff
ferent. 1t is not necessary to go in
to particulars. everybody under
stands the situation, and to leave
the town almost without protection
during the night is a mistaken pol
Icy. The financifi condition of the
town. 1t is said makes the curtail-
ment of the force necessary. The
new marshal says he will devote all
the time possible to night service.

the fact that he can come back in

hundred feet OF the auto. Mrs, Cas-
tie was the first to see the train and
she gave startling cry which
caused Mr.. Castle to stop the car

ception of their scare incident 10
their narrowing accident, Mr.. and

A large number OF people wit
messed the near-tragedy and there
were many terrifying cries as the
engine plunged into the auto some

had been killed. DR.. waldeck was
summoned to the scene and admin
