De PAUW UNIVERSITY
. Endowment campaign Was
Successful Beyond Ex-
DectatiOnS.

GREENCASTLE, Ind, Jan Sub
scriptions to the endowment fund Of
DePauw university exceed 100000
necessary to obtain 100000 from John
d. Rockefeller. DR.. Salem Towne, who
directed the money raising campaign
for the university, said:
"DePauw university enters the new
year joyfully after great campaign
for the 100000 addition to the endow-
ment fund for the institution. At
3 o'clock Monday morning the total
subscription including everything.
amounted to $541,O0O. This amount
will more than double the active en-
dowment. Most of the money has
been raised by the seven hundred
Methodist churches in the state
Jay II. Neff. formerly of Indiana, an
alumnus of 20, former mayor of
Kansas City, where he now lives. is
the largest individual contributor. He
first gave $4,000. His total now far
exceeds that. There were several
$4,000 contributions. The collection
at the College avenue church here
Sunday was $4,000.
The raising of the fund for DePauw &
endowment Is heralded by the school
authorities and supporters here, as the
beginning of a great era for the insti'
tuition. The fund just raised will
make the endowment OF the college
greater than the majority Of Metho'
dist institutions in the United States,
and only a little less than Syracuse
and one or two of the most wealthy
institutions. For this reason they con-
fidentially predict that it will make
DePauw one of the two or three lead
ing colleges in the country. and will
place her In the front rank of Metho-
dist schools. The announcement OF
the completion Of the fund was greet
cd at midnight by the firing Of rockets
the ring Of bells and the blowing OF
whistles.

PLAYED A SHELL GAME.
4 Parliamentary Joke BY . New South
Wales Scion.

Wales Solon.
Australia once had great public
joke. which was played openly In the
New South Wales state parliament by
4 member who afterward became at
torney general.
A bill had been introduced to pro-
tect native flowers from ruthless de-
struction. The honorable member up
rose and sympathized. He informed
the introducer Of tho bill-a somewhat
pompous gentleman-that he heartily
approved. But why these invidious
distinctions? The bill protected-and
he quoted all the botanical names in
the bill.
But why were other flowers equally
deserving neglected? Why were-and
here he reeled of long list Of the
Latin names for cookies. mussels. oys-
ters. etc.-why were these sweet dow
ers to be blighted in their bloom by
being plucked by any prowllng excur-
sionist who wanted something in his
buttonhole?
The introducer Of the bill promptly
offered to extend the list to include
these. So half the -shellfish on the
coast. including the per1winkle. were
added to the flowers worthy of protec-
ton.
The officials of the house discovered
the hoax next day and set 1t right.
But the joke was too good to be kept
quiet. and all Australia chuckled at
the expense of the pompous legislator.

WILMINGTON, Del, Jan. 2.-The
suit of John Bancroft, second son of
John Bancroft, wealthy secretary of
the Joseph Bancroft and Sons COM
pany, textile manufacturers, Of Will
mington for a divorce from his vote.
Madeline du Pont Bancroft, and the
counter suit of the wife for divorce
will come up for trial in the superior
court here this month.
When the young husband filed suit
against his wife last summer it Great
ed the greatest stir that has occurred
in Delaware in years. Mrs. Bancroft,
who is only twenty-three years old, is
member of the Du Pont family, the
millionaire powder manufacturers.
In his suit the husband named Max
Heibler, of Munich, a friend of the
couple, as correspondent. He called the
infant son Of his wife, born last April,
Max Heibler, Jr. He also made the
child which was born here. codefend-
ant with the mother. He denied the
paternity of the infant.
Subsequently the wife began coun-
ter suit for divorce on the same gen.
eral grounds. She also alleges ex-
treme cruelty. The city of Munich
figures in the action, for the reason
that the couple lived abroad for three
years following their elopement from
Wilmington in 1907. They were mar
ried at Washington, D. c., the BRIDE
groom not being quite of age. He was
student at Princeton. The youthful
couple were sent abroad in order that
the husband could complete his stud
les at Heidelberg university.
The double action will be heard in
open court, as is the requirement in
Delaware.

TO
HUSBANDS ARE GIVEN
Make Life a Honeymoon and
Don't Tell Family Troubles
Pastor Says.

BROCKTON. Mass. Jan. 2.-The
Rev DR.. Albert Marion Hyde of the
Porter Congregational church, whose
decalogue for wives aroused great in
terest, Stirred his congregation with a
''decalogue for husbands"
The ten donts in substance. are:
tie courtesies and general kindness at
some hotel on your wedding trip: you
will need them on the rest OF hfe's
journey. Ii the clerk could forward,
ten years later, some of the loving en-
dearments left behind at their hotels
it would prevent many a divorce &C
ton.
,. Don't unbosom yourself about
your family troubles to your neigh
Dor, to your partner, to your part
ner's wife, to your stenographer, to
your college friends, to male men,
ber of your club, or even brother or
sister in your church.; these sacred
condolences spread like thistledown
and bring forth fruit just as prickly
and disagreeable. Fight it out with
your wife alone, even if it takes all
summer. Only those in society can
afford to give their family troubles to
the multitude.
''Wait Till Wife Is Dead"
8. Don't arrange for your second
marriage before your first wife is
dead.
4. Don't support the wife and chill
dren of the saloonkeeper at the ex-
pense of your own wife and children !;
some of the most thrilling chapters in
our annals might be written on the
fidelity of husbands to the saloonkeep-
er's family.
5. Don't have nervous prostration
when your wife asks you to go out
with her for an evening to her musi.
cal, or her club, or to see her friends,
or even to a church social; it is hard
on a woman to be grass widow all
the time.
6. Don't make your wife strang
er to your check book; although ii
may be true that she reads most of the
books for her household, it will do her
good to read the check book, too. She
is not hired servant; she is partner
in the business.
Your wife No Packhorse.
Z. Don't make your wife a pack
horse harnessed to the kitchen stove
the washtub, and the mending bag;
the eight hour man with the sixteen
hour wife needs to unionize his home
! s. Don't carry all your religion ir
your wife's name.
! 8. Don't overlook the fact that the
decalogue of Moses is still on the
statute books and that it is writer
! for husbands as well as for wives.
10. Don't forget that the happies'
spot on earth is your home; that thu
truest comrades you find anywhere
are in your family circle; that the
gladdest sunshine that warns YOU
heart on life's way shines out from low
ing eyes which have beamed for yo,
alone through all the years. Your wife
may not be an angel; you would b
lonesome If she was. Angels woult
i be hard to live with; wives are mucf
better. Live in the home sunshine
and be worthy of it.

Christmas Tree Decorations.


A number Of pretty decorations may
be made for the Christmas tree quite
as attractive and much cheaper than
they can be bought. A very effective
drapery for the tree is made by cutting
long strips about four inches wide of
tissue paper. then cutting it closely
nearly across the width, making
fringes. If the strips then be dam
pened and held over hot stove the
fringed edges will curl and make it
quite ornamental. Strings of popcorn
and 6ranberries are also much used for
drapery as we'll as chains Of gold and
