the Crowd Habit.

An interesting article in the Daily
News, London. speaks of our depend
ence upon life in crowds as follows:
The thing begins in childhood; we
are taught in crowds; brought up in
mental and physical crush. The edu-
cationalist still talks of the theory of
individual instruction and pedagogues
place it in their prospectuses, but it is
only their joke. This collective school
lie not only stunts growth moral, in
tellectual, even physical, not only kills
individuality under pretense of rub
bing off the corners. but brands the
children's brains with the conviction
that life can be lived only in a crowd"
Il is. we'll for all teachers to instill
the value Of quiet study and time for
thinking out things" quite apart from
other people, into the minds of their
scholars. In this feverish age, as it is
sometimes called, we all, teachers and
Pupils alike, need to believe in our
own individual mental ability, uninfiu-
enced by the crowd

MORE ABOUT TWILIGHT SLEEP.


In the January Woman's Home
Companion appears an article entitl- |
ed is the Twilight Sleep Safe for
Me-" The article is authoritative, hav-
ing been read and approved by one of
New York'S well-known obstetrical
specialists. Following is an extract:
In the cases of the very young,
the comparatively old, the debilitated,
and those suffering from serious dis.
eases, like kidney disease, this treat
ment is emphatically inadvisable.
Doctor Gauss reports that, at Fret
burg, only 70 per cent. of the appli-
cants are accepted for the treatment
Of this 70 per cent, 80 per cent. of the
cases respond satisfactorily, giving a
result of Sc per cent success. In the
hospitals in this country now using the
treatment the cases are so carefully
selected that in only about one quarter
Of the confinements is the Twilight
Sleep employed. Another reason, of
course, for this small proportion is
the fact that the patients entering the
wards of a hospital often come in too
FAR advanced in labor to permit of this
relief
1T may be true, of course, that as
the details of the treatment are more
scientifically known and more thor.
oughly mastered Twilight Sleep may
be used in many more cases and in
greater variety of types. There may
be other subtitle details, like the con-
trolling of noise and light, yet to be
more fully adapted. The significant,
supremacy encouraging fact is the per-
feet working Of the treatment in the
cases where it is suitable.
with this question of limited adapt
ability comes another proposition: In
order to determine whether or not
( the Twilight Sleep will be of use in a
particular case, a woman should al
ways have the opinion of an expert.
AS a cOrOllary to this preliminary
! judgment by an expert stands the fact
that, when the treatment is admins
tered, it should be given by trained
obstetrician. There will be charlatans
who will take every possible advant-
age of this new path to fortune, and
there will be the type of physician
who, when the patient insists upon
having the Twilight Sleep, will admin
lister it with insufficient knowledge.
"Obstetrical experts are right when
they maintain that it takes a great
deal of time and experience to learn
how scientifically to administer the
Twilight Sleep. 1t entails a precise
knowledge of the nature and results
of the drugs, scouOlamin and marco
phen, and a nice observation of the
symptoms of the mother-tO-be."

A NeWberry Boy in New York.

Mr.. August Kohn, after trip to
New York, wrote for the Sunday News
of the 29th ultimo an interesting let
ter as to who's who" of tie South
Carolinians in that city, among others
mentioning one, as follows:
Another man who has gone to the
front in the theatrical business is c. P.
Greneker, VITO has charge of the pub
licity work of the Shuberts Of course,
as everybody knows the '5huberts, to-
get er with the Klaw & Erlanger peo-
pie, practically control all the book
ings" of the theatres in the country.
Mr.. Greneker is a Newberry boy and
graduated from Newberry college. He
is quite young, but his polse, his ia
miliarity with conditions and the ao-
solute confidence people have in him
do not indicate THAT his years are
against him. Whatever ne says "goes,"
and from all l could understand in
New York there is no one in whom tee
theatrical world has more confidence
than in "Greneker," as his associates
call him. He has in charge TIE pub
licity work of the Shubert attractions,
and they number some of the best IN

BURGLARY AT NR. J. II. BAXTER'S
Mr.. BaXter's Home Entered BY Burl-
lar On Morning OF Decem-
Der

,Ihe following is an account of the
robbers doings as appeared in the
State under date of December l:
Tie home of John Henry Baxter,
at tie corner of Harris and Cline
streets was entered by a burglar this
morning al 3 o'clock So ar as can
be learned, ne carried away from the
home only a small silver cream pitch
er. He left a miscellaneous collection
OF silver belonging to Mr. and Mrs.
Baxter, which he had gathered and
wrapped up in blue cloth and fasten-
ed together with three leather straps;
also lot of property that he brought
wit,.l lin. 1t was evident from his
tracks this morning that he entered
the front gate and tried first tie
parlor window, then the dining room
window and then tie kitchen window,
where he entered, there being no
blind to it.
At 3 o'clock Mr.. Baxter heard a
noise that he thought came from his
coal 'house in the yard. With pistol
in hand he went to the back door,
pressed a button that threw the llgct
on in the back porch and opened the
door. He saw the kitchen door stand
ing wide open and fired t:ree times
into the kitchen. Mrs. Baxter's moth
er, living in the next house, looked
out of her window When the pistol
fired and saw man jump out Of the
kitchen window, run to tie street IN
front and down the street toward the
railroad station. In little while sew
eral persons had made their appear
aace at the house, including the police
officers wso had been called by phone.
They found that the burglar had gone
through the dining room thoroughly
He had Gil ;ted the sllverWare and
tied it up in bundle and carried 1t
out on the back porch and laid 1t
down. while re evidently went back
for something else and must have
been in the dining room or kitchen
when Mr.. Baxter tired
Except few oranges land a guam
tity of fruit cake, wilch the burglar
must have refreshed himself with be-
fore beginning his depredatlons, and
a small silver pitcher that he no
doubt stuck into his pocket, there is
nou-ing missed from the house. On
the contrary the burglar left lot OF
things that he carried there, lnclud-
ing >reavy brown overcoat lined
with brown satin, another large coat,
two hats, several bars of soap, bottle
of vaseline and a bottle with LIQUID
in it that some think may be nitro
glycerine; three pairs of Women's
stockings and pair of mems socks.
a pair of low-quarter shoes and Wo-
mans skirt. A number of other ar
ticles were left by the burglar IN his
light. 1t is thought likely that there
we're two burglars, one working on
the inside while tne otter was on the
outside, but only one was seen and
no tracks could be found except of
the man who entered the kitchen WIN
dow. That part OF the yard was re-
Gently filled in with fresh earth; hence
the plainness of the tracks on that
side. TIE sheriff and his deputies
ave been searching since a few min
utes after the burglary took place, but
so far as known there is no clue. 1t
was evidently the work Of a profes' :
sional.
