among us cattlemen who would
sometimes be short of change and
would tell Pat to charge up the bill

One day two of us went to the
saloon, just after having completed
a big sale, and we thought we'd
square up accounts with the trustful

EAT SEAWEED-AFTER WHILE.

America possesses an association
to promote the consumption of sea-
weed as food. The members main
tain that in about twenty years time
the failure of the production of
wheat to keep pace with the increase
of the worlds population will bring
us in danger of starvation. They
propose to redress the balance of the
land by calling into economic exist
ence the sea. 1t is said that in the
Sargasso sea alone sufficient nutri-
tious vegetation fourishes and de-
Gays to support all the inhabitants
of the United States if it were har-
vested. Not long ago the associa-
ton held banquet at which sea-
weed was served in all fashions, and
the guests thoroughly enjoyed the

Speaking of the bloodless duel
which was. "fought" last week be-
tween Professor Langevin and M.
Thery, a newspaper man, New
York physician who studied at Hell
delberg, said: "In my day early all
duels, except those fought by stu
dents, were of the same kind, and
just because these were the real
thing every American tourist as he
came to the old town wanted to see
an encounter. IF you had been here
yesterday the hotel porter would
tell them, you might have seen one.'
Then he would tell the seeker after
scenes of gore: Go to the Hirsch-
gasse meeting place tomorrow and
you may get glimpse of duel
Bright and early next morning
Mr.. Tourist and his family went to
the place, only to find that they
were just too late. The keeper of the
place took them to the room where
the duel had been fought, and even
showed them drops of fresh blood on
the zinc floor. Then the party went
away satisfied, the keeper got his tip,
the coachman got his fee,, the hotel
porter received his rake-off and the
man in charge of the Hirschgasse

Memorial To DR.. Webb.

Mr.. William R. Webb, who is
known all over the South as the
Nestor of educators among boys,
is to be signally honored by his
host of friends who are scattered
throughout all parts of the coun-
try. For some time there has
been a strong desire on the part
of some of the admirers of Prof.
Webb to establish some suitable
and attractive memorial in his
honor. 1t has seemed especially
desirable to undertake a move
ment of this kind during Mr..
Webb's life time.
After careful consideration on
the part of some of the leading
Alumni Of the Webb school, a de-
finite plan has been decided upon.
Mr.. Webb has always stood for
what is the highest and best in
the lives of boys and young men.
Quite naturally he has been prom
inently identified with the work
of the Young Mems Christian AS
ISOLATION. He is a familiar figure
on the platforms of the Associa-
ton in all parts Of the country.
One of his favorite platform adj
dresses has the significant title,
"A Young Mems Christian AS
ISOLATION in Babylon. With
This title Mr.. Webb makes a
most thrilling and interesting adj
dress on the story of the three
Hebrew children in the fiery fur
1lace, as recorded in the book of
Daniel. Mr.. Webb is known as
the oldest and theyoungest men,
Der Of the State Committee of
the Young Mems Christian AS
ISOLATION.
The erection of the splendid
new Young Mems Christian AS
ISOLATION Building in Nashville at
a cost of $3.50, 900 has provided
an opportunity for securing a
memorial for Mr.. Webb, attrac-
tive, appropriate, useful and
permanent. 1t has seemed Pc
culiarly fitting to the committee
from the Alumni having the
matter IN charge to have the
memorial for Mr.. Webo in con-
.nection With the work Of the
young men and to have it located
in the capital city of the State
where most OF his life has been
so usefully lived.
The committee having this
matter in charge consists of the
following well-known Alumni of
Webb School:
Mr.. Walter Stokes
Mr.. w. L. Cranberry.
Mr.. Leigh Thompson.
DR.. w. H. Witt.
Mr.. Norman Farrell. Jr.
This committee is now sending
out the following letter:
Dear Sir: The Alumniof Webb

ide permanent memorial in

are quite sure that no word need
be said to you regarding the mer-
