In the Twilight of Life.

Who has not observed aged per sons studiously making friends with the young? Old women seek to win the love of children with sweet things and tales of witchcraft. Old men are seen craftily bartering counsel for the friendship of youths, giving gifts and bequeathing lega- cies to boot. We selfshly desire to be remembered after we are gone. We are not willing to drift away alone upon those strange waters where there is not so much sound as the friendly cry of gull and where wind and tide tend ever out ward into the misty twilight-and leave no tie of affection or kindly remembrance bchind.-From 'EMon- oscripts," by William Dillman.

DYNAMOS BETTER THAN
 BOATS.

After hundreds of millions of dollars have been spent by the government in all effort to make some of the inland rivers naviga- ble, the discovery is being made that the rivers carry a potential value as power producers that is in excess of any dreams of their value as transportation mediums. In most cases, it is true, the power development is a possibility that does not inter- fere with navigation, but it is such a promising factor that there is a growing disposition to look out for it first and attend to the navigation question when needs demand it more strongly than at present.
 The recently constructed dam across the Mississippi at Keo- kuk, Ia., built for very small percentage of the amount that has been spent in trying to make the river navigable above St. Louis for more than a few months each year, is estimated to have available 30O,O00 horse power and is already operating the street railways in St. Louis, the power plants in a dozen cities and turning the wheels of many factories. The natural fall at keOkuk is small but the volume of it produces power, the pos abilities of which are just being realized

Unfairly Treated,

In rebellion times in the Canadas feeling ran high between the French-Canadians and the Loyal ists, and the outcome of the sus- picion and jealousy on both sides was crop of amusing stories, one of which is here quoted from a book by Mesdames Lizars, entitled "Hu- mors of '37.''
 A county member of parliament at the chateau one sultry evening, seeing the rest all busy at ice cream, asked for some. He took huge spoonful, his first taste of such a dclicacy. With a feeling of rage at what he thought an insult, or, at the very least, neglect, he instantly cried out to the waiter:
 "You abominable rascal, had this been for an Englishman you would have taken the chill off!'

SILK OF THE SPIDER.
Ono Product, Size For Size, ss Tougher Than Bar Iron,

Ono Product, Size For Size. 's Tougher Than Bar Iron.
 From time to time the ingenuity of the scientists has been exercised with 8 view to devising some sub- stitute for the silkworm's product, to find some other insect that will produce something very similar at a lower cost.
 It is an old idea that the spider might be employed in this way ill substitution for the silkworm. The problem has ever been how to ob- tain a sufficient quantity of the spider thread and how to wind 1t without breaking or tangling.
 A Frenchman named Cachot har- messed a spider to machine of his invention. This machine contained tiny bobbins that revolved constant fly. The thread was wound as the spider spun it, not after it had been made. The end of the web, which was attached to the body of the spider, was caught and fastened firmly to a bobbin. Then the ma chine was gently put in motion.
 The spider, finding that it's web reeled away, apparently of its own volition, naturally pulled in the op- posite direction to get away. But, it is said, Cachot found to his great delight that the spider did not pull with sufficient force to break the thread, but actually seem- ed to enjoy the process, maintaining just sufficient tension to keep the web in continual motion.
 Many spiders, it is said, were tried in this way, and at last a sufficient quantity of their product was ob- tained to be woven into a fabric. This, it is alleged, was superior to natural silk in tenuity, elasticity and tcnacity.
 It were superfuous to add that dresses of spider web are still be- yond the reach of any save the very rich. A species of Madagascar spi- der is the only one that supplies the right sort of thread. Size for size, this spiders thread is tougher than bar iron. The Frenchman who conducted these interesting experiments states that another advantage of the spi- der as a producer of silk is that, having been emptied of it's web, it can be fed and petted back to con- dition, when it will submit to an- other reeling without showing i'll effects.-Harper's Weekly.

Clerical Luxury.

Bloomfield, bishop of England, presided at meeting of debating society where the students were all deadly in earnest. One strong, in dignant young gentleman inquired oratorically: "What, sir, would the Apostle Paul have said could he have seen the life of luxury, led by our present race of prelates and church dignitaries, riding in their carriages and living in their pal aces? What, sir, I repeat, would he have said?'
 "I think" said the bishop in a meek, mild voice, 'that he would have said, Things in the church must be looking up.' "-St. James Gazette.

JUDGE POWELL
URGES HIGHER
LAW ETHICS
Jurist, Addressing Students, Says
Many an Innocent Man Is
Tricked Into Conviction.

Scouting the idea that an lawyers
are liars" and declaring It ia seldom
that a member Of the bar Is half as
dishonest as his client, Judge Arthur
G. Powell, late of the Court Of Ap-
peals, made a plea at the opening Of
the Atlanta Law School for q higher
standard Of ethics in the legal pro-
fession.
Nearly hundred young men Just
entering the law school as we'll as a
large number of last years graduates,
heard Judge Powell, who was intro
duced as the only man who has been
given an honorary degree by the At
lanta Law School Dean Hamilton
presided at the exercises.
Judge Powell outlined the naxims
which might be adopted with profit
by young lawyers.
Preserve your ideals and retain
your self respect" he said. IF you're
out for making money then stay out
OF the legal profession; have the con-
vtction always that you are in the
right; when you get into a case which
you find Ia not meritortOus get out Of
II as quickly as possible: and no
matter how attractive a woman may
be, don't let her invelgle you into
taking case which is unworthy OF
the profession.
L have seen a mans honest testi-
mony completely turned around by
the questions fired at him by an at
torney," continued Judge Powell, land
by the tricks Of INSCRIPTIONS law
yers evidence has time and again
been put into such a false light that
the public as well az the jury has
been brought to believe a man guilty
when he really is innocent.
But If you get into the profession
with the inspiration in your heart
for the nobility Of your calling you
will find a rare opportunity for serv-
Ice and success. In the first place
no man stands higher in any com
munity than the successful, straight
forward lawyer; secondly, no other
work offers such opportunity for
service to humanity in general; and
third, no other profession offers such
an incentive for the development Of

GIRL PUPILS To
DEBATE VOTES
FOR WOMEN
Atlanta High School Students
Take Interesting Topic for
Expression Training.

For the first time in the history
OF Atlanta school work, the woman
suffrage question will be debated by
members OF the senior class OF the
Girls High School Friday afternoon
The question specifically IL: Re-
solved. That Women Should Have
Equal Suffrage with Men"
Miss Lille Harmsen and Miss Yer
sacola Ball will take the affirmative
SIDE of the question, and Miss Louise
Youngblood and Miss Marion Nor
gan will uphold the negative
The debate scheduled for to-day is
also the first debate the pupils have
ever held in the High School, and
marks also the first session of the
Mallon Literary Society, which meets
once a month during the school year.
The judges have been chosen from
the faculty, and the audience Will be
composed of the student body. No
visitors will eb admitted because of
lack OF room.
Miss Jessie Muse, principal OF the
Girls High School. declared Friday
morning that the action OF the school
authorities in allowing the girls to
debate on woman suffrage should not
be taken as an indication that the
votes for women" idea is ching
taught in the school
The debate 10 merely an extension
OF the work OF the English classes, /"
Miss Muse said The ability to
form ones own ideas and EXPIRE as
them is infinitely more valuable than
the ability to express the ideas OF
someone else. kor this reason we
have begun the debates and IL was
for this reason also that we chose
the subject OF woman suffrage as
being something the girls would be
interested In"
