cANvASSEp.

old board of election commissioners
composed Of Chairman Ramon and

It is understood that the new board
took possession of the ballot boxes
and returns of the election on Sat
urday and made the canvass although
the law specifically says that the

Monday next ensuing after the cleo
ton. However, the new, or Barker
board undertook to cure any irregu-
larity that might have been in the
canvass by dating the certificate on
Monday Just why the members of
the board, Chairman" Thomas and
Messrs. Barker and Kindel, should
have attended to the job of canvass

time by law, is not known unless it
was in pursuance of Chairman"
Thomas disposition to blunder upon

Competition and interest In All Lines
Of Commercial Industry Will Be En-
couraged by the New Organization
From the First.

Columbia may have another bust

members OF the board of trade. and
they do not hesitate to say that they
ire of the opinion that such an organ.
ization, togther with the purposes for
which 1t proposes or will propose to
stand, will be of inestimable benefit
to the city in the way of attracting
industries and improving the build
ing conditions. In speaking Of the

after all manner of industries, and bus
mess of whatever character, for the
purpose Of furnishing employment
and creating lively interest in and
competition of business lines in the

within a short time for the meeting
and organization. Before this call is
made, however, there may be list
of signers made up who will agree to
join in the move.

Glad to Enter Jail Out Of Danger.
NASHVILLE, Sept. 16-When Dep
uty U. s. Marshal w. A. Kilgore ar
rived in Nashville with George Fultz
federal prisoner arrested Saturday
in the mountains of Grundy county
he had so much trouble with his
charge thaht it was with very much
dificulty tat he got him to the David.
son county Jail.
Fults, who Is typical Tennessee
mountaineer, had never been outside
of Grundy county until his visit to
Nashville, and he viewed the won.
ders of the city for the first time with
mingled fear and amazement. When
Deputy Kilgore arrived on Broadway,
after stopping inside the Union Sta
ton long enough for Fults to gaze for
some time at the interior Of the sta
ton, he could get him no further.
Fults saw the Nashville Opportuni-
ty" sign the first thing. He gazed at
the bright lights for, some time and
then turned to Mr.. Kilgore with the
single exclamation:
''Well, I'm swar!"
The mountaineer couldn't under
stand what made the street cars run,
and he absolutely refused to ride on
them. He didn't like the way the
electricity sparkled and hummed as
the cars ran along. He jumped as
far as Mr.. Kilgore's watchful eye
would let him when an automobile
went honking by, although they were
on the pavement several feet away.
Mr.. Kilgore probably had more
trouble with the prisoner on Church
street than anywhere else. When
they arrived at the 0. X. Houck Pr
ano Company sign, where two cleo
trio worms chase each other around
the sign, Fults demanded an explana-
ton. He wanted to know what was
pulling those lights around there like
that and was not at all satisfied with
the deputy's reply that it was cleo
tricity.
The First National Bank building
and other tall buildings amazed the
prisoner, and he expressed prefer
ence to walk on the other street
where there was no danger Of the
skyscrapers topping over on him.
Mr.. Fults seemed very much rellev-
ed when they turned down the street
of the square which leads to the
Jail, and he was glad to walk into
the jail where he would be safe from
the strange things he had seen on his
way from the station.

WORLD LANGUAGE OF SIGNS
Sir William Ramsay Has Plan to ose
Pictorial Characters Based on
Chinese.

To make possible the exchange OF
ideas among all peoples of the world
Sir William Ramsay, the English
scientist, has begun to develop pic.
torial sign language, based somewhat
upon Chinese which he hopes Will
eventually spread among all races.
The Chinese character to express
"man," for instance, is made with two
converging lines that represent sim
ply his legs, looking much like the
legs of the crude man that the school.
boy draws.
Sir Williams character goes further
and adds vertical straight line above
the converglng lines to represent the
body.
THE first thing that one thinks Of"
he argues, "is existence expressed in
the verb to be-"
So he has selected the arithmetical
equality mark to denote existence All
things relating to ones state and con.
dition, he said, can be expressed by
these two parallel lines.
For time which stretches away, or
action that Is constant, he uses a dash.
instantaneous time or action he repre-
sents with dot. Thus dot placed
squarely between and in the middle Of
two lines of the equality mark de-
notes the immediate present, or II
am" Similarly the dot, when placed
at the left and between the two lines
denotes past, or 81 was" and when
placed to the right indicates the fu-
ture tense, or II am to be-"
To denote a woman Sir William
draws a line closing the diverging
ends Of the legs Of the sign for man.
On the theory that 81" Is the most i'm
portant thing In the world to any
man, Sir William utilizes the straight
vertical line that represents the body
Of his man figure to depict the word

HER NEW HUSBAND
An Old Man Marries Young Girl,
That He May Teach
Her Wisdom.
BY FLORENCE E. CAMPBELL.

Mam'zelle Lisette Guitard was weep
ing in the hyacinth beds, and Monsieur
CASTOR Drouet wept, too. .|unreserved-
ly. But then he was only twenty-five
-four years older than Mamzelle,
nevertheless. Outside the night air
was fragrant with the odor Of hya-
cinths and jonQuils, and the moon
shone as brightly as it always shines
in New Orleans in spring-that is to
say, twice as brightly as anywhere
else.
Ma'mzelle had stolen out Of the
house in which her father and mother
and the two uncles and the maiden
aunt and Sister 'Toinette and Brother
Robert and the four bridesmaids and
the ushers were busily rehearsing the
part that they were to play at Mann
zelles wedding on the morrow. Mon
sieur Thiboult was fifty-seven and
enormously rich, and it was to be
fashionable affair. Ma'mzelle did not
love Monsieur Thiboult, but her pa
rents did.
Poor Gaston!" she murmured, lay
ing her warm hand upon his lc1ly colo
one. Tonight we must say goodby
for ever"
And, being only eighteen, she could
not help but feel thrill Of romance
in the sadness Of the separation.
Angel Beloved Adored one!"
exclaimed the young man, Il cannot
let you 60. Come with me now and
let US be married somewhere. You
do not love him, that old pig OF a

mo, poor CASTOR, l love you only
answered the little bride-to-be. But
consider, Monsieur Thiboult will give
me much money and l shall make my
parents rich; poor parents, who have
shaved so hard for me-
You shall not marry the pig!"
shouted CASTOR. Il will kill him

ticed how red his face was, how white
his beard and hair. He was an old,
old man, and she wished he were
young like CASTOR. And suddenly the
sense of her inexperience of life, the
tragedy Of Gaston's sorrow, and her
own little fleeting happiness which
had been accomplished at such a cost
to him overwhelmed her. She began
crying, and she looked at her husband
timidly, as though she had done some
thing that she ought not to have
done.
Monsieur Thiboult had been smo-
king in the darkness. Now he laid his
cigar aside and Lisette saw the red
rim of it circle and descend and rest
upon the rail of the porch. Her hus-
band took her little hands in his and
spoke to her.
do you love Castor very much.
Lisette?' he asked
She started and then began sobbing
convulsively. He knew then! He
knew! How wicked she had been.
Yes, l knew for long time, my
dear" said Monsieur Thiboult. 1T
must be quite two months since you
have loved Castor. And before that
1t was Leon Brevet; and before that
Charles Bourget; and before that
who was it before that?"
Lisette was shaking with fear. He
had known all the time, then, of these
little childish love affairs!
ttrp
sieur caressing her cold hands, listen
to wnat am going to tell you have
never thought that you loved mean
old man like me, old enough to be
your fathers father. But love you,
just as though you might be my own
daughter, and married you because
! knew that If / did not you would
some day run away with CASTOR or
some other foolish young fellow and
live hard life and taste the realities
of existence. And you are not made
for hardship, my little Lisette. So l
considered and | thought to myself:
If only she were few years older
and wise and knew the world, and
had plenty Of money, 80 that when the
real love came she would know him
and go to meet him. Then | said to
myself: How can you help her, you
old fellow And the answer came to
me: Marry her yourself, but let her
be like your daughter to you, so that
when you are dead she can inherit
all your money and marry some young
fellow whom she really loves He
paused. My DEAR" he said. Il shall
not live very long. The doctor told
me that only last month, Perhaps one
year, perhaps two-not more thAn
three. And then, if you still love Cas-
ton, you will go to him and make him
happy and your little head Will bo
filled with wisdom instead of foolish
ness"
He pressed her to him and kissed
her cheeks reverently. Goodnight,
little daughter" said Monsieur Thi-
boult.

THEIR new DOCTOR
Excitement in Mayville When Old
Physician Is SuppIanted by
Young Man.
ev MILDRED CAROLINE GOOD
RIDGE.

There was great excitement In the
social circles Of Mayville when the,
successor to the practice OF old Dr.
Cyrus Dali arrived. For forty years
the latter had been the chosen physi-
clan of the town. When he had sold
his practice to DR.. Brian Eversley, q
young. handsome and wealthy men,
Der of the profession, all Mayville was
agog, and speculation and gossip held
the various social coteries In q kind Of
pleasant thrall.
The young doctor had purchased
The Oaks, beautiful estate near the
edge of the village. A maiden sister
was to be his housekeeper. When
new automobile and some wonderful
house furnishings arrived, Miss Cyrille
Rushton, aged thirty, but passing for
twenty-five as the real leader OF the
real social set of Mayville, was said
to brighten up at chance to once
more angle for husband. When 1t
was further announced that the young
physician was philanthropically in
clined, Miss Breda Dorman. president
of the Ladies' Aid society, was In
transports of anticipation and delight.
The young doctor arrived. and he
was not disappointment. He was
something more than handsome
earnest, affable and intellectual. He,
was pleased at the gracious attentions
of Miss Rushton, and 1t seemed to
interest him to listen to the ceaselesS
chatter Of Miss Dorman. High 80
ciety shrugged its shoulders at his
free dispensary" ideas for the bene-
fit Of the poorer classes living over
on the fats. Still. an exhibition OF
his skill In their own service caused
him to be received as fit successor
to the old practitioner Doctor Dali.
The Ladies' Aid society held weekly
meetings In an old store. which had
been neatly fitted up for them. A

since he loves me, and he composes
songs to the moon-as you do. He
told me 80 himself"
kiss me, Lisette!" pleaded CASTOR,
drawing very close to her. When you
have kissed me you will no longer re-
sist my entreaty. Then we will go"
mo! Mo-" cried the girl, strug-
Cling out Of his arms. 1T is wrong.
l am pledged to him. Let me go!"
"Lisette!" cried Uncle Henri from
the door. where are you, little one?
Come! We are to have cakes and
wine."
For an instant CASTOR hesitated;
then, with despairing sigh.
he plunged through the hyacinths and
disappeared into the darkness. Uncle
Henri came down the path.
"Psst! Cats!" he exclaimed, throw
ing a clod Of earth In the direction OF
the retreating CASTOR. "Why do you
roam among the flowers 80 late, little
niece? III, it is the inspiration OF
Monsieur Thiboult! 1t is love for
him! Never was any marriage so
happy!"
Ma'mzelle Lisette cast a glance OF
contempt at her uncle, but he did not
see it, because 1t was quite dark under
the caves of the cottage. He followed
her indoor.
The wedding was over and Monsieur
and Madam Thiboult were seated conf
fortably upon the porch Of their home.
1t was only few steps to the cottage
next door, occupied by the brides pa
rents, for Monsieur Thiboult had sim
ply taken his bride home with him.
That was his arrangement, and his
will was law, for it was the will of a
semi-millionaire. Madam gazed with
wonder into her new husbands face.
1t was indeed wonderful to think that
two hours before she had been Made
moiselle Guitard while now she was
Madame Thiboult. Her silly little head
was swimming with pride and aston
ishment, and the passion for poor
CASTOR was already buried, although
deep down beneath the surface of
things there was a little ache-if she
had let herself perceive 1t.
But monsieur was very much older
than she. She had never before no

SEPARATE COATS MUCH WORN
Popularity Of one-Plece Dress Makes
Their Adoption Almost a Matter
Of Necessity.

More separate coats are being
worn this season than ever before, the
reason being, perhaps. that since
many women have found the simple
one-piece dresses so becoming and
useful they find 1t necessary to have
an outer wrap to wear with them. The
separate coats and one-piece gowns
will not take the place Of the suits
or the three-piece costumes, but they
are useful In another way and for
other occasions and are being espe-
cially favored for young girls wear.
There Is a complete change in the
style of these separate coats. both In
the material Of which they are made
and the cut of the garment from the
top coats of last year. BY their coll
lars you shall know them may we'll
be said Of this seasons coats, for the
collars indicate the style Of the gar
ment The Robespierre influence Is
to be observed In many of them, the
sailor with short lapels In front Is
much worn and there are also coats
made with high choker bands. Plush

collars, but fur also is employed, al
though as rule the coat Is more USE
full without the fur. A fur garment
must usually be substituted for 1t in
the coolest weather, so that 1t should
be regarded as a garment to be worn
for the milder winter weather and
between seasons.
The coats are many of them made
quarter length and have the
fashionable cutaway fronts. The
rounding of the fronts may occur we'll
toward the lower edge Of the garment
or may continue up above the waist
line. This is decided by what is be-
coming to the individual. The bands
of the coats are cut in one piece,
there being only two seams, those
under the arms
Materials for the top coats include
velour de laine, chinchilla, beaver
cloth, astrakhan cloth and numerous
other thick soft cloths, generally with
soft woolly surfaces. The garments
are much more universally becoming
than the polo coat Of last season.
