WANT POLYGAMY
IN STATE STOPPED
FIRST STEPS TAKEN At Y. M. c.
A. BY MISSION STUDY
CLASS.

NASHVILLE, Nov. Steps to 60
cure federal measures regarding the
control of polygamy in the state Of
Tennessee were taken at meeting
of the Normal Mission class of the
Y. w. c. A. wednesday morning.
Mrs. A. L. Marshall is president OF
the class and Mrs. Marshall together
with the members Of the class drew
up resolutions to be presetedn to the
missionary societies of the Protest
ant churches of the city asking them
to take definite steps toward getting
the state legislature to pass a meas
ure petitioning the United States gov
eminent to control the practice Of
polygamy by federal enactment.
The reason this first step WAS tax
en- in the matter is because of the
rapid growth of Mormonism in GER
tain portions of the state. A publish
ing house of the church Is located
in Chattanooga, and this house ia an
nually distributing millions of tracts
throughout the mountainous districts
of the state while the church itself -
sending out 1000 missionaries each
year.
The resolution is the beginning Of
what the Y. w. c. A. hopes will be
a definite movement all over the
state to arrest the impending social
evil.

QUEEN MARY HAS
PRINCE OF WALES
MUCH HENPECxEO
THE ROYAL HEIR Is NOT AL
LOWED TO TAKE ANY IN
ITlATiVE.
WILL NEVER Be POPULAR
Hectoring by His Mother Has Made
Young Man Rather Shy Of College
Mates-Good oarsman But Too
Weak to Row on Regular Team.

LONDON, Nov. 1.-The Prince OF
wales has now been at the Magdalen
College, Oxford, for little over two
weeks, and the young men who are in
way his comrades have had time to
form an idea of his character. The
general opinion is that the prince will
never be popular, but neither will he
be a subject of scorn. He will unless
he suddenly develops new sides to
his character, remain quiet stcang-
err who will be allowed to spend his
days unnoticed and he will undoubt-
edly always feel lonesome. The pity
of it all Is that the fault will not be
his own, but the blame will princi-
pally fall on the queen, who has seen
that arrangements were made which
as far as possible will keep the
young prince from coming in contact
with his fellow students. From a
material point Of view the prince
will of course, lack nothing. His
apartments, consisting of four rooms,
two sitting rooms, bed room and a
bathroom, are the most comfortable
in the college and are most luxuri-
ously furnished with furniture in
Georgian style, but tutor is guild
ing his every movement, selecting
the young men who are to be admit
ted to the princes company, and no
room is left for the princes person
al choice. In other words, at time
when other young men form friend
ships with chums which last all life
the future king of England is virtu-
ally a prisoner. He is permitted to
associate with young Lord Stanley,
son of Lord Derby, who In 3f his own
age and occupies a set of rooms on
the same floor, but who is neither
particularly bright or interesting.
AS a sole concession to the demo
cratic tendencies of the century the
prince is permitted to dine in the hall
at table with ordinary commoners
when he does not prefer to have his
meals esrved in his own rooms, and
as a matter of fact he has dined with
his fellow students pretty regularly,
but as he has not been permitted to
develop the natural tendencies of
boy his age he is out Of touch with
his table fellows, and his presence
acts as damper on their spirits, a
fact which will sooner or later In
duce him to retire to his private
apartments for his meals.
The prince is said to be a good
oarsman and interested in aquatic
sports but as he is not particularly
strong he will not be able to row in
the college boat and will probably
have to content himself with hunting,
riding and shooting, opportunities for
which abound in the neighborhood of
Oxford Besides this he will proba-
bly, join the officers corps at Oxford,
which converts the raw material into
the texture of a commission in the
army.

HEAD OF FERRISS
NURSERY SUES
TRADING NURSERY FOR BURNS
PROPERTY AND GOT
STUNG.

NASHVILLE, Nov. Claiming
that H. C. Jones, venerable man
experience in business and caused her
daughter" took advantage of her in
experience in bushes and caused her
to make disadvantageous trade,
Mrs. Bette M. Roser and husband
yesterday in the chancery court filed
suit against Jones, asking that he be
prevented from taking possession Of
her property and that she be awarded
damages.
Mrs. Roser sets forth that she has
been for a number of years at the
head of what is known as the John
c. Ferriss Nursery for Orphan Chill
dren at Brentwood, and that Jones in
duced her to trade that property, con-
sisting of forty-six acres, to him for
ten acre tract and flour mill at
Burns, Tenn. She alleges thac he
told her the land was worth $25 an
acre, that the mill was worth $4,000
and that good patronage was enjoy
ed.
After making the trade she claims
to have discovered that the property
was worth only IS an acre, that the
mill will not bring over $1,000 and
that the patronage was poor. Fur
Their, she claims that there was an
understanding that she was to retain
possession of the Brentwood property
until April, 1913, but that, contrary
to this agreement, Jones is seeking
to obtain possession. To prevent this
she asks for an Injunction, and for
remuneration claimed to be due, and
asks that reference be had to the
Clerk an Master that her damages
may be assessed.
This news bears a local interest in
that Mrs Rosser appeared before
the county court here in October with
a proposition to care for the county's
orphan children at stipulated figure
at the nursery at Brentwood
Mrs. Rosser was in Columbia today
for the purpose of carrying two little
boys to the nursery, and when inter-
rogated with regard to the litigation
spoken of she stated that this ir no
way would have any effect on the
Home Finding Association. that it
was altogether a separate business
mater from the institution and would
be so considered by the courts.

CITY RESERVOIR OF
NASHVILLE BREAKS
EARL Y THIS MORNING
TWENTY-FIVE MILLION GALLONS
OF WATER RELEASED ON
THE STREETS.
MUCH DAMAGE, NO LIVES LOST
Cause Of the Break shrouded In Mys-
tery-Marvelous That No One Was
Drowned-Dwelling Houses WASH
ed From Their Foundations.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Nov. 5.--Hun-
dreds OF lives were imperiled and
thousands Of dollars of damages were
sustained at an early hour this morn
ing when the city reservoir on Eighth
avenue, south, suddenly burst and
swept away every obstacle in its
path. About one hundred feet Of
the wall on the east basin of the big
reservoir gave way and thousands Of
gallons of water completely submerg-
ed all Of the nearby territory. No
one was injured or drowned in the
flood, fact in itself considered re-
markable. Residents of the flooded
district tell narrowing tales of the ee-
capes from the onrushing waters.
The reservoir gave way about 1910
o'clock, according to the statements
made by people living In the vicini-
ty, and bore down upon the houses
with roar that could be heard for
a great distance Not knowing what
had occurred, no one ventured out,
and in moment all were precipitat-
ed into the icy waters.
Three houses were swept from
their foundations, the occupants BE-
ing carried along by the rushing WA
ters. AS soon as the residences
found lodging against adjoining nous
es, the occupants made their way as
best they could from the debris and
were given succor by adjoining neigh
bors.
The gigantic reservoir with ca
pacity of fifty-one million gallons Of
water, is located on the highest point
in South Nashville. It is divided into
two basins and it was the east basin
that was emptied. When the wall OF
the east basin broke, twenty-five mil
lion gallons of icy water poured into
the city, and that there was no loss
of life, is considered miraculous.

SITTERS IN THE SHADE.

When you come home in the even
ing, as the last rays of the warm
June sun are gliding the tree-tops,
observe those old people sitting
there. They are people of some
means. They are enjoying life as the
shadows close in.
Observe the men as they puff at
their cigars; observe the women as
they chatter over their eternal knit
ting. They are happy. Old age has
no terrors for them. Their roof-tree
is secure. Their meals are pleasant.
Their beds soft.
We prate a lot about progress and
fighting for humanity and the square
deal and equal chances for all. We
have much work to do We must
work so that each of us may have
leisure in the sunset hours.
In the world of the future there
must be no alms-houses filled with
old men and women worn out in the
industrial struggle and then tossed
aside as things foredone. There must
be no bitter bread of grudging char
ity. There must be no salt tears over
the might-have-b been.
In that future world each earnest
laborer in the industrial vineyard
must get fair share of the product
of his toll, For when the blood runs
slowly, and the bones begin to stiff
fen, and the muscles to ache and the
hair to whiten, We all have a right to
peaceful rest before the eternal night
falls. We all have a right then to be
simply sitters in the shade.

Practical Education.

While our schools are being con-
Quoted very satisfactorily, we believe
many of the problems in mathematics
are not practical. Why not have
problems useful in every day life?
For instance, like the following:
If it takes a boy twelve years of
age twenty-five minutes to bring in
six small sticks of wood, distance
of seventeen feet, how long will it
take him to travel a mile to see a cir
Gus show procession?
a woman placed four pounds of
cold meat and eight slices of bread
before a tramp. At the end of twenty
minutes how much was left?
a housewife sold coat to a ped
dler for vase worth nine cents, a
pair of boots for a china dog worth
SIX cents, and vest for a glass bot
tie worth four cents; how much did
she receive for all and how much over
50 clear profit did the peddler make?
a man pays thirty cents for three
pounds of evaporated apples and gets
a $l4 newspaper puff for sending
them to an orphan asylum. Does he
gain or lose, and how much?
Two females, each thirty years of
age, are sitting on a sofa. Neither
of them has husband. One is worth
two hundred thousand dollars and
the other teaches a district school.
Which is the unmarried lady and
which is the old maid?
a man winks his eye an everage of
$4,000 times day, and a woman s
tongue makes $4,000 motions every
twenty-four hours. At this rate how
long will it take the man to catch up?
If it cost 5000 for young lady to
learn painting, and she turns out two
landscapes worth forty cents apiece
what is the net profit?
1t takes twenty blows of a hammer
in the hands of woman to drive a
tenpenny nail three inches. She
misses the nail twice where she hits
it once. How many blows does she
strike in all and how far can hei
voice be heard when she strikes hel
thumb?
