Then there came into the hall
Of the City Fathers a woman
with disheveled hair and tear-worn
cheeks. who beat upon her breast
and cried
Vengeance, o Wise and Great
0nes My son. my little son went
to the public baths, and the venom OF
the Monster was upon the waters,
and my son is blind forever. What
will ye do, that others may not suf-
fer my griefg
And the Wise and Great Ones
spoke together and said
surely this woman is mad
that she thus fowls her lips
And they drove her out Of their
presence.
From among their own number
there came a terror and a portent.
For their Leader, who had been
stricken in youth, but thought him
self TO have thrown of the tolls OF
the Monster, rose in his place and
spoke in Q voice that piped and
shook
because no man taught me in my
unripe days, strayed into the paths
Of the Scarlet One. For the space OF
generation | hoped; but now the
clutch is on me again, and | die.

youth no longer perish in their
ignorance

Of honor; and the strength OF his
mind and his body was loOsened I'M
til he died. But, rather than vio-
late the taboo, the Wise and Great
Ones gave a false name TO his death,
and he was buried under a craven
lie.
Finally there came TO the Coun-
ell Hall one with the fire Of martyr
dom in his eyes.
Though I perish he said, ! and
mine, yet will speak the truth for
once. My daughter have given in
marriage, and the Monster has en-
tered into the house OF her marri-
age, and from henceforth she must
go, a manned creature, sexless and
childless, 10 the end OF her days.
Shame upon this city, that 1t en-
dures such shame; for my daughter

THANKSGIVING

Thanksgiving was observed in
Berea with the usual zeal and due
respect TO the original purpose Of
the occasion.
AT 9:30 all departments met in
front Of Ladies' Hall for the process
sion TO the Chapel. This was head
ed by President Frost and DR..
Creegan, followed by the Faculty
body, then the College seniors in
their caps and gowns, and the de-
partments Of the school in their re-
spective order.
The chapel service was in charge
Of Or. Roberts and breathed the true
Thanksgiving spirit. Rev. Brown
Of the Methodist Church led in
prayer, after which the choir sang
beautiful anthem of praise. The
sermon Of the morning was by DR..
Charles C. Creegan of Battle Greek,
Mich. He spoke in part Of patriot
ism and peace and made a most eff
fective and impressive address.
Following the preaching came the
Praise Meeting in which every one
was invited to tell what he had TO
be thankful for, and TO testify to
Gods bounty in the year past. A
great number took part and the
testimonies were varied and some
of them really thrilling. During the
meeting Mr.. Henry Lengfellner, a
native of Germany, proposed that
Berea College suggest that President
Wilson use his influence to bring
about an armistice among the con-
tending forces in Europe during the
Christmas season. This was second
ed by Treasurer Osborne, a native
of England, and unanimously APP
proved.
The early part Of the afternoon
was devoted TO the contests and var
ious sports in which all the depart
ments Of the school took part. Under
the very efficient management OF
Prof. Cromer and Veo Douglas,
gymnasium director, this proved a
greater event by far than on any
previous Thanksgiving. There was
keen but kindly spirit of rivalry
which made all the events unusual
ly interesting. Miss Bess DeBord
was Queen OF the May" and pre-
sented the winners with their rib
bOns. There was a football game
the latter part of the afternoon be-
tween the Vocational and Academy
departments which was interesting
turnout, and won by the Academy.
In the evening came the festivi-
ties OF the day. Each department
had its own function in its re-
spective dining room which was
tastefully decorated for the &C.
casion. A most excellent dinner
had been prepared, thanks to Miss
Sperry, matron of the dining hall.
There was an abundance of good
things TO eat and prevailing spirit
of good fellowship. The programs
in each department consisted OF
toasts and musical numbers. In the
college department. Mr.. James Hill
man was POSTMASTER, in the Acad-
envy, Mr.. Leonard Fielder, in the
Normal, Prof. Smith, in the Voca-
tional, Mr.. Eugene Pugh, and in the
Foundation, Mr.. Thomas Parker.
All the programs were well-ar-
ranged and displayed good ability.
After the dinner there were sew
eral socials mostly departmental
which marked the close Of a really
great day.
The weather throughout the day
was such as to add to the pleasure
of being alive.

Berea, Ky.
Dear Sir:
In reply to your letter OF the 2nd
in regard to my school work, will
try to tell you a few OF the details.
We have a two-room district
school at Ivyton, Magoffin Co, Ky.
am principal and Miss Maltie Trim
BILE is my assistant. Miss Trimble
has been teaching the girls domestic
science. ! have been teaching Hor-
ticulture and Agriculture, also man.
ual training. In regard to the man
ual training, first we went to a
mill near the school and got tie
lumber to build us workbench.
We made our bench at the school
house. took some few tools from
my home and the boys brought some
from their homes. Then we began
our work. The boys would bring
lumber from their homes. We OBJ
tanned some lumber from the store,
such as boxes, and frames for lard
cans. We made a tool chest and
placed a lock on it TO keep our
tools secure. We worked at re-
cesses and noon hours and some
times after school. Most all the
boys were eager to work. Four
could work at the bench all the
time, and some Of them would be
making things with their knives.
We made book cases, coat hangers,
towel racks, broom holders, tie
racks, a model gate, match cases
and several other things.
One of my boys, Mr.. Arthur Trim
BILE, made a book case and won first
prize on it, (s5) at the county
school fair. Prof. Clark and Sec
Vaughn were two Of the judges at
the fair. They can tell you some
thing about it. The tools used by
the boy in making the prize book
case are as follows, one jack plane,
a smoothing plane, two squares, a
jack knife, brace and bit, hammer
and a chisel (made out Of an old
flat file.)
/ am enclosing a kodak picture
that we made few days ago. am
standing at the corner Of the house
with my coat on. The largest boy
at the bench is Mr.. Arthur Trimble,
the one that made the prize book
case. He told me that he never
wanted to go 10 school until this
year and now he does not want TO
miss a single day. This is his
first work with carpenter tools.
The pennant that you can see hang
ing on the wall was made at the
school house. There are several
other boys in school just like Mr..
Trimble, there is nothing that will
keep them away.
We did our work in the school
house yard, under the shade trees.
We were pressed for time. The boys
wanted TO put in every moment at
the noon hours.
We are now at present working
the road in front of the school
house. The boys are taking an act
i've hand at that, and l think we are
going to have a good road when we
get it finished.
| have tried to give you a few OF
the details OF our school and did
not try to exagerate anything.
-Four and one-half months Of
school is gone and | have my first
one TO punish, while last year they
whipped the teacher out and he
quit the school at the end Of four
months.
have been q student at Berea and
! hope to be a student there again
some day. Wishing you and the
school much success. am.
Yours very truly,

LtW:s Bradbury loses Valuable \. House hi' Midnight Fire.
SCHOOL BOARD ISSUES PERMIT
Allows St. Paul's. Church Corporation Privilege of Using Water From Ken- SingtOn Grammar SchOOl-Every ! Members Canvass Endorsed.

Mystery surrounds the origin of the spectacular fire last night which totally destroyed a valuable house on Gladdtng. Place, Kensington, the property of Constable Lewis Bradbury. While no definite clues have, as yet, been uncovered, the owner feels that : the blaze was the work of incen- diaries. He estimates his loss at be- tween $2,50O and $3.0OO, most of which was covered by insurance.
 As Charles Hotchkiss, a neighbor, was proceeding to his home shortly after 1O:30 o'clock, he noticed fire in the vicinity of the. Bradbury place, which has been vacant since the first : of this month. Upon perceiving that a lively blaze was burning in the woodshed at the rear of the structure, he immediat tely notified MT. Bradbury, who, with many other residents hur- ried to the scene to fight the fire. They were too late, however, for tl4 cottage was then a seething mass of flames which could be seen for miles around, and they could do nothing but assist in saving the barn and Judge Willard I. filings house, which is situated but short distance away. MT. filings residence was severely threatened several times, but spray pump was kept at work and after midnight the danger was passed. The ruins contjnued to burn until 2:3O a. m., whenf MT. Bradbury returned home.e
 There was nothing whatever in z the woodshed which could have start ed the f1re,'' said MT. Bradbury in an interview with a Herald man this morning, "and feel sure that the blaze was set.' When asked as to whom he suspected, the constable de- c1ined to state, answering: 'In case like this we've got right to form opinions, but it is not safe 10 make any statements.'' He asserted, now ever, that he was at the house about o'clock in the evening and that everything was in the best of con- dition at that time. He spent much time in the woodshed, which was built right onto the rear of the house, and is certain that no combustible material was there, not even any ! wood. The entire place was cleaned thoroughly last Saturday. said MT. Bradbury, flor I have just had the building renovated, paying special at tention to the rebuilding of the foors."
 Had 1t not been for the fact that the we'll was located in the woodshed, volunteers could have fought the fire, but as 1t was no water was im- t%mediate1y available.
 The razed building was erected sev- eral years ago by Levi Gladding. de-

He Is greatly in demand when banquets are being ar ranged for and the local committee has been angling for him for some time.
 Congressman Augustine Lonergan has not as yet given 8 definite answer to the committees request that he be the guest of honor. He gave the members tentative promise, agreeing to come here if it is possible for him to leave Washington on the date of the banquet. President Gwillim is hopeful that he will find 1t convenient t tc attend.
 The committee is now hard at work on the arrangements and the members report satisfactory progress. They have had unusual luck in getting souvenirs and each diner will get over a score of novel reminders of the affair. The souvenirs will be entirely different from those distributed la<t year.

facture Of brick had already been under
taken by private persons. In Washington.
and the commissioners had a good deal
OF trouble to prevent the excavation of
street locations in the search for brick
clay. Ample material for brick for the
Capitol and White House was found on
lands owned by the United States.
All these operations demanded labor,
and the supply of labor presented the
hardest problem the commissioners had
to solve. The slave population could
handle only the roughest Of the work.
and it Is made a matter OF record that
when employed as tenders for masons
they hindered rather than helped. The
commissioners addressed appeals for
workmen. not only to the north, where
skilled artisans of the time resided, but
to all European countries from which
immigration might be expected.
The situation OF the American labor
market Is given by Jefferson as Secre-
tary of State in A letter to the commits
sioners. He says that skilled house car
penters could readily be had in Connecti-
cut, the current Connecticut wages being
tWo-thirds Of a dollar a day and board.
Some brick masons were TO be had and
a few stone masons. The skill OF the
latter. however, did not go farther than
making and setting stone steps and 1t
was thought that there was not a man
in Connecticut who had so much as
seen stone column cut. Wages in the
vicinity of Boston were said to be high
er and artisans more difficult to get.

LARGEST EATERS OF MEAT.
Australia and Argentina Have High
est Per Capita Consumption.

Australia and Argentina are the only
two countries so far as is known. which
have a greater per capita consumption
of dressed meat than the United States.
according TO the Department of Agri-
culture in a statement today. Australia
and Argentina. says the statement are
countries OF sparse population and vast
herds and focks; hence meat is exceed
| ingly cheap and native consumption large
and probably wasteful.
The per capita consumption of meat for
Australia and Argentina is estimated 10
be about 10 pounds per annum. The
corresponding consumption for the United
states was computed by the federal bu-
| reau of animal industry to be l12 pounds
in 1909. and il is estimated to be about
ten pounds less today. This, according
to the department. is much greater than
the British consumption. the largest IN
Europe. which is slightly under ~
pounds per nhabitant per annum.
