0rinin Of The Pariwin.

The periwig. which played so impor-
tant part In the toilet Of man OF
fashion during part of the seventeenth
and eighteenth centuries. owed its orr
gin to Louis XIV. Of France. When a
little boy the succeeded to the throne
at five years Of agel he possessed pro-
fusion of remarkably beautiful waving
hair which fell in clustering curls over
his shoulders. The courtiers initiated
the boy king by having heads of false
hair to initiate his natural locks. and
when Louis grew up he adopted the
periwig himself.
During the reign of william and
Mary periwigs were worn in exagger-
ated dimensions, and the beaux used
to comb their wigs in public with spe-
cial combs Of ivory and tortoise shell.
which became at last quite indispen-
sable to these fine gentlemen.

4 WELL AND A POET.
And an UnanswerabIe Argument In Q
Suit at Low.


Among the many anecdotes told of
Joseph Viktor Won Scheffel, the Ger
man poet and novelist, the following
from Tagliche Rundschau is one of the
most amusing:
In u place where Scheffel once lived
there was II lack of good drinking wa
ter. One day well driver in the
neiEhbOrhoOd proposed that the poet
allow him to drive deep well for
him Scheffel accepted his offer. but
only on the condition that after the
water had been drawn it be found
drinkable The well driver completed
his work, but all that the pump would
deliver was a thick yellow liquid. so
the poet refused to pay for the work.
Finally the matter was brought be-
fore the court, and the poet and well
driver stood side by side before the
judge to present their respective cases.
Both argued their sides so well that
the magistrate was plainly puzzled to
know which was actually right in the
matter.
At length. weary Of the affair. Schef-
fel said: "Vell. I'll give in and pay for
the well and the court expenses. too,
but on one condition. My opponent
shall. before our eyes. take drink Of
the water from the well in question"
The poet then drew from his hip pOck-
ct flask of dirty yellow water and.
after extracting the cork, passed It
over to the well driver One glance
was enough He thrust the bottle aside
with II diSgusted look and strobe out of
/ the courtroom with an angry grOwl.

The trouble began with the failure
of the bank, in which Ffte, who also

Fite Heavy Loser.
Fife lost several thousand dollars
in the failure and was extremely bit

Lying on his cot in Grady Hospi
tai, slowly recovering from a lauda-
mum dose which he took in a futile
attempt to end his life in the office
of public stenographer in the Fourth
National Bank Building, the Rev.
Robert j. HUFF. Baptist minister of
College Park, Wednesday issued a
warning to all young men to beware
of debt.
IL want The Georgian to tell young
men for me to keep out of debt and
live within their income, for il was

years, that forced me to make this

tones. Debt means nothing but mis-
cry and trouble"

the dreaded specter of debt with the

10 go in debt fourteen years ago when
he went 10 school to prepare himself

ter how hard he tried he had never
been able to lift 1t.
He ventured the opinion that he
probably had committed a great sin

clared his belief that he would have
been saved had he died.
