A Natural Fortress.

In the northern part of NADIA
gascar is the most remarkable
natural fortress in the world. 1t is
occupied by a wild tribe who call
themselves the People of the Rocks.
The fortress is lofty and pre-
cipitous rock of enormous size, 1000
feet high and eight square miles
in area. It's sides are SO steep that
it cannot be climbed without arti-
fetal means. Within it is hollow,
and the only entrance is by SUBJ
terranean passage.-St. James Ga

HOW TT WORKS AT CARROLL.


The argument Of the brewers that
prohibition throws people out of en-
ployment finds an emphatic negative
over In Carroll. What was known for
years as the North Star saloon In that
city is noIv an ice cream and soda
water emporium. The location is in q
sort OF an out Of the way place, but
the proprietor has about all the bust
ness he can handle and seems TO be
thriving. Most Of the old saloon fix
lures are used in the new business,
even TO an ex-bartender. The only
difference noted in the place is in the
character of the people who visit 1t
and in the results that how from the
business. The crowd is now made up
of men. women and children. Before is
was men exclusively. The place very
likely does about the same volume or
business as it did in the old days, but
how vastly different the pictures pre-
sented. A man and his wife and chill
dren seated about an ice cream table
present much more hopeful and
happier appearance than he does when
leaning over booze bar in a place
from which his wife and children are
wisely excluded.

protest in their favor.
In a Pennsylvania penitentiary a
petition is being circulated and signed
by most OF the inmates. According to
the dispatches 1900 men in this prison
have signed it. II asks that the liquor
traffic be abolished: says that 20 per
cent of all crime which sends men to
the penitentiary is directly stimulated
and provoked by liquor and attributes
the population of the prison mainly to
booze
Now there are two interested wit
nesses in this case, the man who de-
sires to profit by liquor making and
selling and the patron by whom the
liquor manufacturer and dealer profits
One says that the proposition to pro-
hibit is confiscatory OF his brewery and
saloons The other that the continu-
alton Of the liquor business and the
saloon is conhscatory of his liberty, his
hopes and his usefulness

II is PROBABLY not generally known.
but on Nov. le. 1912, new articles OF
incorporation of Cornell College were
adopted. New bylaws have since been
adopted. The important change IN
these over the old bylaws is the cre-
alton of a new onice-that OF business
secretary. The business secretary shall
have charge of the administration of
the finances of the college to very
large extent. He works under the di-
rection and supervision of the execu-
tive committee keeping the accounts,
attending 10 the collections. looking
after the loans. selling ana renting the
real estate, etc This work has de-
veioped on the president in the past.
and has taken large amount of his
time. President Harlan has had all
this detail work TO look after in add
ton TO his work planning the cam
paigns for money, collecting In the
money. and keeping his hand on the
pulse OF the student body. To those
who were acquainted with the work
Presiden, Harlan was really doing. il
has long been the wonder that he was
able to stand up under it.
The new president will have none of
this detail work to take UP his at

time 10 the management of the college
proper-that is TO say It's internal az.
fairs-to representing the college in
public places over the country. and
TO aiding in securing money necessary
for the growth Of the institution. He

dowment is double what i, was when

netism Of President Elect Nicholson
