Particularly If It's Your Own Fault the
World Looks Black.
When you feel down IN the mouth
and long to go away and hide yourself
forever; when you imagine that;Do one
in the world is treating you right;
when you are satisfied that your en-
ployer is tardy in recognizing your
genius; when you can't divorce your
self from the idea that you are doing
the work and the other fellow Is get
ting the credit; when The time you
spend at your work seems intermina-
bic and the time away from it seems
woefully short; when all the sky seems
10 possess a leaden hue; when every
thing irritates you like salt on an open
wound; when the laugh Of child
crates on your nerves; when the food
you eat disagrees with you
Straighten up and take an inventory
of yourself. Maybe it is with you that
the fault lies. Perhaps the rest of the
world is but a mirror. Don't imagine
YOU are carrying the world on your
shoulders. The browbeaten man Is
too often a creature of his own max
ing. He insists on carrying the Old
Man of the Sea on his back when the
world is willing to relieve him of the
burden. 1t is surprising how many
worries we can Danish by making up
our mind resolutely that we will not
give them room in our thoughts-ln'

What's In a Name.

How we like to hypnotic ourselves
with names! Take, for example, the
case of the muskrat, an animal Of
most clean feeding habits, whose flesh
is sweet, tender and of delicate flavor.
In the winter months muskrat meat
is in considerable demand in the mar
kets OF the middle Atlantic states, but
it sells best as marsh rabbit" or "wa-
ter squirrel" So. too. the students OF
the old Latin quarter In Paris when
they expressed mild doubt of the
possibility of rabbit pie at so modest
a price were reassured by the sugges-
ton that it might be the rabbit of the
ooofs. youths Companion.

Tow, purino the French Revolution,


The toys Of the French revolution
period were characteristic Of that ter
rible time. There are tops whose
shadows cast the profile portraits OF
Louis XVI. and Marie Antoinette.
These are turned In lockwood and are
indeed interesting "reminiscences OF
toys with the impress of history. The
children OF the revolution had their
tiny Phrygian caps and danced the hor-
rible carmagnoles in their play. Little
models OF the guillotine were made to
work" and the bodies of pigs with
heads OF Louis XVI. were decapitated

On its first page is a large, picture
of Prof. McClenahan and a short
history of his life. We will repro
duce part of it here. He graduat-
ed from Tarkio College in '96. In
1900 he received an A. B. from
Yale and and an A. NJ from the
same institution in the following
year. After several years of college
teaching he was called to the chair
of Chemistry in Maryville College,
which position he has held since
that time with the exception of one
year. Prof. McClenahan has done
some noteworthy research work
along certain lines. The results of
these have appeared in the leading
chemical ieunals of America. Re-
prints of them were published in
chemical journals OF Jermany.
Mrs. J. W. Bailey, member of
the Wadsworth Chapter of the D.

cerning those early days. Her WIS.,
it was OF especial interest because
the Wadsworth Chapter for several
years has furnished one or two
patriotic scholarships in this college.

Tennessee Debt

The following shows very clearly
how the states debt has been re-
duced,
In 1880 the total debt of Tenn
essee at the close Of the fiscal year,
December 20, was $3O,8O3, 900; in
1890, it was s19, ,696, 900, and in
1912 had fallen to s14, 1924, 900.
The population of the state increas-
ed from 1.542,O in 1880 to
2.222,0OO in 1912, this increase be-
ing sufficient to still further reduce
the declining per capita debt. In
1880 the per capita debt was S19 81,
in 1890 it fell to s11.13, decreasing
steadily thereafter until in 1912 the
amount was $6.45.
In contrast with the state of
Tennessee, we find that taking the
entire debt (less sinking. fund assetsl
for the 48 states the per capita debt
according to the latest report, is
SO 81, or 80. SO less than the per
capita debt for Tennessee. Com
pairing the decrease in the per CAPITA
debt of Tennessee and the As states,
for the 80. year period, we find that
So. 4S fell to SO 50 in the average
for the 48 states, and SO 81 to
So As in Tennessee.
At the present time about 2 3 per
cent of the total population of the
United States will be found in the
state of Tennessee, and Az per csnt
of the total debt (less sinking-fund
assets) is attributed to that state.

Maryville Wins
Double-header

Maryville College defeated Emory and
Henry College in two of the prettiest games
Of ball played on the diamond here this
season, by the scores of to 3 and to 2
In the End inning of first game the visit
ing team crossed the plate twice and looked
as if they would give Maryvile some trouble
But Dawson worked out of the whole by
striking out 3 Of the next4 batters. In the
4th inning Kelley started out with long
drive to center which the fielder let get
through him and Kelley made the only
home run ofthe two games. Carver crossed
the plate next then Mr. Toney landed out a
3 bagger bringing in scores. Again in
the 9TH inning Kelley brought in their last
score with a three bagger,
Emory and Henry crossed the plate in
the eighth inning and then went down in
defeat to 3. Dyer made the M. C. boys
work for he had some good stuff. Dawson
also pitched pretty game.
Batteries: Dawson and Carver, Dyer
and Jackson
The second game was only tiny game
and was mared with errors. McMwer scored
for the visitors in Ist inning on Sharps two
bagger but by Niceley's hard work was it
stopped.
johnson opened in the Isl inning with a
three base hit and being followed by several
singles Maryville boys crossed the plate
three times and were not allowed to score
any more during the game. The visitors
crossed again in the 4th inning by getting a
few singles and this finished the scoring
for the game Both teams played good
ball through the games, there being few
errors made by both teams. The batting
of johnson and Kelley for Maryville and
that of Sharp for Emory and Henry was the
feature of the game. The Batteries for last
game were: M. c. Nicely and Carver;
E: & H. Wright and Jackson.

College Notes

There was more preparation for
last Tue sday's meeting perhaps than
for any other during the entire year.
Some two months ago a choir of
thirty voices was selected from the
student body and began practice for
an Easter Cantata. This cantata,
entitled Messiah Victorious" was
sung Oh Tuesday evening 1t is a
beautiful cantata and was we'll sung
1t would be hard to bestow too high
praise on the participants. Each
showed careful preparation. All the
solos were good and the chorus was
exceptionally beautiful.
AS was stated last week, Union
Presbytery met at the Fifth Presbv-
terian Church at Knoxville. Several
events took place there which have
to do with some students of the
college. F. Lewis Miller. Fred G..
Peterson and Somers Pe1ea, as
ministerial candidates were received
under the care of the Presbytery.
Mr.. Edgar Vance, a former student
who is now studying theology, was
licensed to preach. The Presbytery
ordained Mr.. H. j. Wilson, who is
a member of the Junior class here,
Altho an under graduate Mr. Will
son has been preaching for three
years, a greater part of this time in
Knoxville. The Presbytery saw
fit to bestow full ordination upon
him. Undergraduates who have
not stuoied theology in seminary
ale very seldom ordained. This
confidence of the Presbytery speaks
well for Mr.. Wilson.
The Annual, the Chilhowean,
came out last week. The Annual is
a fine one and speaks well for the
Seniors who edited it. This volumr
was dedicated to Prof. McClenahan

The Old Liquor Ring
Defeated In Knox

In the Republican primary held
in Knox county April 2, the law
enforcement people won out in the
nomination of Mr.. Blankenship as
a candidate for sheriff of Knox
county. The contest was very
exciting one. In fact there was
quite change in both the temper.
ance and liquor vote of the county
during the last forty. eight hours be-
fore the primary. It was under
stood by many that Mr.. Blanken-
ship would receive the support Of
what is known as the liquor machine
The temperance and law enforce
ment people were largely supporting
Mr.. w. T. Cate. While it is be,
lieved by many that the liquor peo-
pie wanted to support Mr.. Blanken,
ship, but as they always do, they
want to make sure of their man be-
fore they throw their support TO
him. 1t is reported that a COM
mittee called on Mr.. Blankenship
about forty eight hours before the
primary and made demands on him.
which he, in no uncertain terms re-
fused to comply with, and made it
plain to them that if he was elected
he would 60 into office without his
hands being tied and would do his
sworn duty in enforcing the laws.
The1eupon the liquor crowd i'm
mediately shifted their support and
spent their money in an attempt to
nominate Mr.. Cate. Mr.. Cate
denies having made them any
promises. and likely they decided
they would take a chance.
At any rate they lined their gang
up for Cate. But fortunately the
Anti Saloon and Knox County
Civic League organization got on to
the move in time to throw most of
their strength to Mr.. Blankenship.
AS a result he was nominated by
less than 100 majority. This only
serves to emphasize the Importance
Of activity and organization on the
part Of the temperance and law en-
forcement vote. They can win
most of the counties of Tennessee
where they stand together at the
ballot box. The Knoxville Citizen
deserves much credit for the more
healthful condition that prevails in
Knoxville and Knox county.
There is no doubt about Mr..
Blankenship's owing his nomination
to the law enforcement voters in the
primary. 1t is to be hoped that he
will be so out-spoken in his deter
mination 10 enforce the law il elect
ed, that he will get the support of
the law enforcement element OF both
parties. One thing can be counted
on as sure, the liquor RUG will either
try to put him unc er obligations to
them or try to defeat him at the
August election and perhaps by
putting up candidate that will
divide the temperance vote. Mr..
Blankonship will be sheriff if he
retains the confidence of the law en-
forcement voters of Knox county.
The above is taken from the New
Republic paper published by the
Anti-Saloon League at Westville.

cause of Temperance.
