SHOULD this HUSBAND

Atlanta, April 17-If a wife tells
her husband she does not love him,
is that sufficient ground for a d.

The only cruelty he specifically al
legged was that she said she didn +
love him, but he set forth that he
loved her SO tenderly that these
words cut his heart deeply and made
him suffer terrible pain.

STIMULATING HOME INDUSTRY.

A Columbia merchant might Sc
cure large advertising. and render no
small service TO Greater Columbia by
offering a prize or prizes for the
bust vegetables grown upon given
area of ground in or around Column
bia by any boy or girl. He could still
further stimulate the contest by
agreeing to purchase at market price
all vegetables 50 produced.
Better yet, why should not all of
the Columbia merchants. through our
Commercial Club or otherwise. offer
prizes for the best vegetables grown
under given conditions by boys and
girls of different ages?
Why not offer prizes for flowers
grown under similar conditions?
Vegetable and flower-growing con-
tests. properly supervised. would
give the youths healthful employment
and civic pride Their labOrs would
heartily waste places which will 9TH

the cook could ring it at meal times.
The boys invented all sorts of wild
schemes to start the bell ringing;
then when the censOrs rushed out to
see who did it. no one could be found.
"One night" continued Professor
Hoffman. leaning back in his chair at
lection, some of the boys fastened
a rope from the bell to willow tree
near by and from the tree to an up
stairs window in one of the cot
tages. They made a straw dummy
and put him in the tree. Some time
during the night. the censOrs wax
ened to hear the bell ringing madly.
They rushed out to see who was do
ing it. but all they could find was
the bell rocking back and forth so
violently that even the pole swaycd.
Finally one of them saw the rope
stretched to the willow tree. Then
they saw the man up there pulling
the rope back and forth.
Come down from there, quick,
called one of the censOrs. But the
man in the tree paid no attention.
He seemed to pull the rope as though
his life depended upon it. The censor
started up the tree. Suddenly the
bell stopped ringing. The figure in
the tree stopped slightly and fired
three shots. The censOrs took to
their heels and it was some time be-
fore they veEtured out again, this
time with reenfOrcements. They
brought the straw dummy from the
tree and in doing so found the rope
leading to the cottage window and
located the culprits. The boys had
fixed three blank cartridges in the
dummy's hand SO when certain
spring was pulled they would go off. y
Although Professor Hoffman. Doc
tor Norris and Mr.. Pennington are
the only Columbia men who stayed
at the Club thirty years ago. there

Thirty years ago, Prof. B. F. HOff-
man, DIR. W. A. Norris and J. NJ Pen
nington, now staid and dignified citi-
zens of Columbia, were carefree col
lege boys, familiarly known among
the University students as Ben, Will
fred and Jim. They roomed and
boarded at the University Boarding
Club.
The Boarding Club of those
days" said Doctor Norris. recalling
his college days, consisted of four
cottages situated in the southwest
corner of the campus. Three of the
cottages were one and a half stories
high and the other was two full
stories. The dining room, kitchen
and matrOn's rooms We're in the
largest house and two rooms up
stairs We're rented to students. The
other cottages had five rooms each.
accommodating thirty boys. The
rooms cost $l1 each for one semes-
ter. The boys took care of their
own rooms and furnished everything
even the coal for the stoves and the
kerosene for their lamps
The club was controlled by the
students. They had their officers and
constitution much as the University
Dining Club members have today. A
cOmmissary was elected each month
and if one was liked well enough he
was reelected. Professor Hoffman
served in this office full year.
Board and washing together cost
$150 week. The cOmmissary got
his board free.
A censor was appointed for each
cottage to see that order was kept.
Fines varying from 10 cents to 81
We're imposed on those who DISC
beyed rules But this did not keep
the boys ont of mischief. Professor
Hoffman tells of many pranks which
they played.
The boys" he said, would often
smoke the fellows out of one of the
cottages by stuffing the chimney.
Other times they tied the doors and
windows shut so no one could leave
the room.

WOMEN AND THE PRESIDENCY

Is the day coming when We shall
have a woman candidate for the pres
iicncy? That time may not be ripe
Yet, but in the coming campaign the
suffragettes will have to be recOg-
nized.
There are 1,250. .O0O women in this
country who are entitled to vote
this year. This is estimated as about
One-fourteenth of the probable
votes for all candidates. The suf-
fragettes of Colorado. California,
Idaho. Wyoming. Utah and Washing
ton have thirty-seven votes in the
contest these might decide the cleo
ton. In California they outnLmber
the male voters.
Such a situation makes us forget
all our puns and jokes about the
suffragettes. Just this past week
they appeared before Congress ask
ing for equal suffrage. There are
three other states which are to vote
on the question of equal suffrage be-
fore the "Ides of November" These
are Oregon. Wisconsin and Kansas.
These states control twenty-seven
electoral votes. which added to the
thirty-tive of the Western states will
make a total of fifty-fOur votes in
the college of 313 electors or more
than One-ninth.
SO We can say that the women S
vote is going to be a factor in the
coming campaign. 1t may be the
means of turning the tide of the
vote. as it seems now that the mar
gins are going to be small.

The New Books
.Adrain Savage.

"Adrain Savage" hero of the novel
of the same name by Lucas Malet, is
the son of an English father and
French mother. and shows traits of
each nationality in his character and
tastes. He turns to letters i'm his i'll
tellectual taste. and becomes quite
that high field. But in his heart
learningS he is more unsettled. al
though circumstances and the wO-
men in the case have considerable
to do with that. His first attachment
is for a woman of his mothers race
She is a young and enticing being,
with the genuinely bewitching quail
ties of the French-wOman as known
to all writer's. And young Savage
shows all the warmth of the French
nature in the ardOr of his affection
for her. But he has curious and
dangerous rival in one Reno DaX, a
being of genius so close to madness
that the lines of any sane life
would be imperiled by near approach
to his. His nature seems a cross be-
tween child and maniac. but some
how makes subtle appeal to the
fair FrenchwOman. He is poet of
the fair gifts, and caricaturist of
some note, and the French heroine
interests herself to a large degree in
his work and career. And now there
appears on the stage an English
girl of significant contrast to the
French maiden i'm both character and
appearance. She is far from beauti-
flu, and has no personal charm of
any kind to atone for her lack of the
cardinal one of beauty. But she ap-
pears in a part that calls out the
finer. NOR chivalriOus feelings of
Adrain Savage's nature, and turns
his interest in her direction at about
the time Reno DaX is endangering
it in relation to the French beauty.
So here is situation which the
clever novelist turns to good account
both in the developing of her plot and
the working out of her characters.
Her portrayal of character. indeed
is one of the strongest points in this
story, though the plot itself is a
strange and ingenious one. (Harper
& Brothers, New York. $1.25.)

HON TO MANAGE 4 HUSBAND.

A learned Chicago judge recently
attempted to tell woman's club how
wives may manage their husbands.
Little love pats on the cheek and
moonlight strolls were among the re-
cipes suggested.
The judge sees but one side of the
game. the side of the divorce court.
His observation of the cases that
have been before him. leads him to
greatest source of divorce cases.
Doubtless the Judge is right, but
whether artificial means of resuscita-
tion can bolster up a dying love, is
a question too deep for the average
Judge.
Love is based upon something
deeper and more fundamental than
an outward show of affection. A de-
cline in respect is perhaps the first
process in failing love that leads to
the divorce courts. CareleSSneSS in
dress. slovenliness in speech, mental
or moral disintegration, are pretty
sure to result in a mutual falling of
of respect Incompatibilty of tenn
which is pretty nearly the same

ax w. G. NICHOLAS

New York, December 4-(Special.)- From the walls and gnashing of teeth and the general chorus of lamentations one would think that the market had fallen through the crust of the earth and every thing gone to wreck and ruin. Such, how ever, is not the case. There has been a big decline in stocks, 1t is true, ranging from to 40 points, yet the average of prices is still from to b points above that of the low figures reached along about the last of January and the first of February. There is still considerable room between the depressed quotations at the beginning of the year and those ruling now.
 The decline in many of the standard issues has only been to 10 points, al- though there has been noise enough to have buried them in the ground. An ex- treme decline of F points measures the break in United States Steel common, which has been traded in on an enormous scale, three or four times the volume of the entire capital having been swapped
