Washington one of the big sights will be
the full cadet corps from the Virginia
Military Institute-the so-called West
Point of the south. The formal announce
ment and orders are being prepared and
trov. Mann will ride at the head OF the
line. That the cadets will make a show
ing to the credit of the Old Dominion

All Members Resign.
At meeting of the board of visitors OF
the Medical College of Virginia here. the
entire board rendered its resignation to
Gov. Mann. to take effect at his pleas
ure. This is part of the plan for the
consolidation OF the medicai coieges OF
this state into one institution. to be
known as the Medical College of Virginia.
The designations of the members means
that the Medical College OF Virginia is
doing its part toward getting the schools
of the state united and ready for the
sessions next fall The understanding Is
that the boards of the two colleges VIII

ment of nine men each. the eighteen thus
chosen TO elect the odd member OF the

faculty of the enlarged college. 1t is
believed that this means the certain

Primary Plan, Issue.

For years the matter of perfectins the
primary plan for the dominant party has
been one of the things which has served
to bring the democrats together. 1t has
often been left unsettled. Once again,
however the old story will be revived
In this city next Thursday at the home
of State Chairman Ellyson. There is a
committee of one member of the state
democratic committee from each district
to wrestle with the issue. Just how long
the members will discuss the proposition
Is for them to determine. That there is a
possibility of a report in a short time is
more than likely. There will be held
this year state primary to nominate
state officers, and whatever the report of
the committee will be binding on the
party. seeing that the state convention at
Norfolk last year committed the matter
To the committee with full power to act.
And much can be gained by having plan
that works to the welfare of the candi-
dates.

May Reject Settlement.

Whether the state will be able to ac-
cept the settlement recently made be-
tween the state and the Richmond, Fred
ericksburg and Potomac railroad. is I'M
determined. Auditor C. Lee Moore is of
opinion that the settlement is a direct
violation of the constitution of the state,
and has so informed Gov. Mann Mr..
Moore declares that under the terms OF
the adjustment the state will receive less
than 80 cents on the dollar of her indebt-
edness. Moreover. he questions the va
ldity of the act of the Legislature, which
arranged for the settlement He holds
that this is special legislation for the
benefit of one corporation against others
engaged in the same business. and that
such thing is inhibited by law. He de-
clares that he will decline to receive
such money. even if il is ratified by the
parties to the controversy. Mr.. Moore
in addition 10 being auditor, is a lawyer
of recognized ability. and there is be-
lief that Attorney General Williams
takes the same view as that expressed by

Romance Of a Book.

Inns Dissertation on Liberty
and Necessity" which was print
ed in 1875 and sold at that time
for the small sum Of halt crown,
was sold recently for S., 900 at a
London dealers.
A romantic history is associat-
ed with this book. 1t is believed
that only about 100 copies of the
original Dissertation on Liberty
and Necessity" were printed.
The edition was suppressed, and
the volume sold at Sotheby's and
one other are the only remaining
copies known.
About so years ago Henry
Stevens, founder of the firm Of
Messrs. Henry Stevens, of Great
Russell street, London, bought
this copy for a small sum.
He then offered it to the Brit
ish museum for $40 but it was
declined on account of the price.
Next the book was offered to
two famous collectors for $50,
but was again refused on &C
count of the price. 1t was sold
at auction for SIS, and again in
1872 for S125. 1t is an ironic
fact that at both of the sales

The happiest man;in the world
is the common, everyday pay chap
who makes his own living, pays
his own bills and has the respect
of his neighbors. He saves a
little money as he goes along,
but he does not try to!get a cor
ner on his local output and he is
not a slave to ambition or society.
He never expects to wear out his
trousers in the senate, ssand when
he glides out OF bed injthe morn
ing he never wastes any time to
pick out the right tint of socks,
suspenders and necktie that will
blend with the general effect.
He only wears a high collar when
he feels like it, and when his
pet corn begins to hurt, he jerks
out his knife and cuts a four
inch cash in the side of his shoe
and nothing is said about it in
the local papers. He never has
to sit up at night to poultice his
conscience. He believes in the
doctrine of live and let live.
When he encounters one of the
needy he doesn't stutter with
his pocket book. The plain plug
of a man is happy because he is
satisfied and doesn't spend half
of his time yearning for some
thing which his salary will not
permit. Give US more plain men
and the world will be better

Resting Days.

Were it not for the resting
days and periods of relaxation
which men enjoy they would
speedily become maral and phys
ical weaklings. Sunday COM
mends itself to every wise per-
son because of the great moral,
religious and other benefits it
confers upon man. 1t frees him
from an unending round o f
drudgery and imparts a sense of
manhood which otherwise would
be lacking.
But in these whirlagig days of
intense living and high pressure
business, a weekly rest is not
enough. To some it may be, but
to the great majority it is not
and to them the advent of hot
weather brings the call of the
woods and lakes, of ocean and
mountain. And there is wisdom
in the call and even greater wis.,
dom in the response, for the call
is natures invitation to recup-
crate nerves and minds faded by
months of steady application to
work.

A WomanIy Woman.

No one of Gods creations is
more beautiful than a womanly
woman. These are some of the
things that mark true woman
hood:
The womanly woman will sscul-
tivate reserve; low, well-modu-
lated voice; quiet refinement in
manner; a CHEEKY smile,
She will think before she acts
and she will guage her actions
to suit the exigencies of the oc-
casion.
She speaks i'll of no one; Meth
er is she a rumor monger or a
gossip.
To her friends she is loyal; she
knows the value of a friend, and
to her highest ideals she is true.
She writes nothing that she
may regret-she speaks. truth
and she is brave.
She cares for her body as Gods
temple, and her mind is as free
from soil. She knows that moth
ing is more undignified than a
display of anger and never in
wrath does she raise her voice.
And best of all, she Knows
that to love and to be loved is
her birthright, if she is but
worthy of love. Knowing this,
she keeps herself worthy of the
best love-the love of a gentle
man.
