MOTHER HUsRARD's LITTLE ,. SERMON.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: VIII you let an old lady give a little plain talk from the pages of her experience? !?
 Don't hold { a grudge against any one. Get rid of 1t just as quick as you can, even though you have to go a good deal out of your way to do it No matter what the oftense may be, we can forgive if we will; but too often the fact Is we do not want to, We say: T. ve1forgiven him or her, as the scase may be, but I cannot for get how she tried to inJure me. and I cannot feel the same toward her again. S4
 Bless you, my dears. that isn't for gtveness. The old grudge is there, more bitter than ever, If possible. The declaration of forgiveness is sin- ply a sop&of our own conscience. there is an involuntary closing of the lips and stiftening of the spinal col- umn. The grudge is there andN the only way to get rid of it is to for give as we would be forgiven There Is always two sides to any The bitterest quarrels begin over the most trivial things. Once the breach is made 1t constantly wtdens. Days weeks and months pass and neither will give in and finally it is too late for the one has passed beyond the reach of our forgiveness.
 If we would only pray over ou,
 troubles more and talk about then
 less. how much happier we should be Who will be the first to offer term
 of peace? It Is always the wiser oi the two.
 What a fine time we had at Aunt,

THE PERFECT MAN AND MAID.

Editor Social Corner: On the last 6ociaa Corner page noticed you had one contributor who apparently be- neves in eugenics. or the legal regu- lation of all marriageable persons-the hitting out of brides and grooms with c physician's certificate as to their physical and mental fitness for matri- m0ny. I do not care to discuss the merits of the question. but I should like to inquire who is qualified to classify the marriageable portion of the community with such exactness as this writer suggests.
 The great anatomists have found that man instead of being a perfect creature is very imperfect, that there are at least 100 or more unaccountable parts of the body that are useless and some of them a constant menace to the well-being of man and woman. Tho perfect man is an ideal man, who never has lived and who never will live per- haps on this earth.
 What do physicians know about the internal imperfections of men? It is not so long ago celebrated physician examined an athlete and pronounced him to be the most perfect specimen of humanity he had ever seen. The athlete threw up his chest in pride to exhibit his muscular power and then this perfect man fell dead at the doc tore feet.
 Once there was an old physician SC sure of his knowledge of the physica. condition of a patient who had died that he ventured to give his young as. gociate a detailed description of how the intestines would look at the post. mortem. When they were brought tc view they were perfectly healthy, no showing single blemish as described
 There is only one efficient judge O. rnen where their physical or menta fitness Is to be accurately recognized and He is not to be employed by nor. tai man.
 Life Is mysterious in whatever form it expresses itself, and it defies tn, genius of man who is never likely t, get grasp upon it's intricate ant wonderful methods of demonstratina

More Hoas Than for Years.

There are more hogs in South Caro-
lima now than in any recent year and
a. large number Of farmers will at this
time be beginning to select pigs from
their herd for fattening for the winter
market. Some advice on this subject
is given by the livestock experts of
the extension division Of Clemson col
lege, which will be glad at any time
to answer questions about hog pro-
duction.
For fattening, select pigs weighing
from 130 to $50 pounds and in good
condition. They should be fattened
for at least 60 days and perhaps Is,
IL it requires so long to bring them up
to a weight Of $50 to 200 pounds. This
Is the most desirable weight at which
to put hogs on the market and animals
of this weight in good condition will
bring top prices.
Corn is selling at low prices in the
state now, compared with prices in
recent years, and it can be used to
large extent for fattening hogs. Farm
ers who have fall pasture can supple
ment this with feed Of corn alone
and get good results. Otherwise, he
can feed a ration consisting Of one
part corn and one part wheat mid
dlings.
In feeding corn as a supplement to
pasture, begin with a daily feed Of
about two pounds per hundredweight,
or three pounds Of corn for a hog
weighing $50 pounds. When full feed
ing has been we'll begun, one may feed
all the corn the hog will clean up.

"kiIIed by Idle Gossip."-A coroners
jury at Western Springs, ILL.,, has di-
rected attention to one of the great
est evils that afflicts humanity by
rendering a verdict Of killed by idle
gossip" in the case Of a young wife
and mother who committed suicide.
How many persons have suffered
slightly from the same exquisite tor
ture that forced this young woman to
end her life, The agony Of mind that
comes from the gossip Of friends as
veil as enemies is beyond the imagi-
nation Of those who have never suf-
fercd it.
A carelessly spoken word may ac-
tually wreck human life. 1t may be
the spark that is set to a lifelong fuse
of disaster Rumors circulated about
the character of a man or woman sell
dom are mnimized, but rather are
magnifed as they pass from lip to
| lip.
The most unfortunate part Of the
circulation Of gossip is that it is usu-
ally directed against woman. The
unfortunate dual moral code. which
some day will be abolished, makes
men impervious to such gossip usu-
ally, and in fact eXempts him from
| it. But woman, to whom reputa-
ton means much more, cannot with
stand such gossip.
Legal penalties are provided for
slander. but unfortunately scandal is
accentuated by an appearance in court
| in such q case. 1t would be well II
women would gain the courage to take
| such cases into court and demand the
punishment of the offenders But it
would be better still if society were to
| turn cold shoulder upon the one who
gossips rather than upon the subject
of the gossip.-Washingt Post.

When the frost is on the punkin and

And the humble Of the hummin' birds

OF crisp and sunny morning Of the
airy autumn days
Is a pictur that no painter has the

When the frost Is on the punkin and

The husky, rusty russell Of the tassel
Of the corn,
And the raspin' Of the tangled leaves,
as golden as the morn;
The stubble in the furries-kindo'
lonesome-like, but still
A-prechin' sermons to US Of the barns
they growed to fill;
The strawstack in the medder, and
the reaper in the shed;
The hosses in their stalls below-the
clover overhead
o, 1t sets my heart a-clickin' like the
tickin' Of clock,
When the frost Is on the punkIn and

Then your apples all Is gathered, and
the ones a feller keeps,
Is poured around the cellar floor in
red and yellow heaps;
And your cider-makin' over, and your

With their mince and apple-butter, and
their souse and sausage, tool -

Mr.. Philander dropped the profess
sor's arm and broke into a mad orgy
Of speed that would have done credit
to any varsity track team.
With streaming coattails and shiny
silk hat, Professor Archimedes Q.
Porter followed, while from the
shadows peered two keen eyes in in

1t was Tarzan of the apes who

game of follow the leader.
He knew the two men were safe
enough from attack in so far as the
lion was concerned. The very fact that
Numa had foregone such easy prey at
all convinced the wise forest craft Of
Tarzan that Numa had already dined.
The lion might stalk them until
hungry again, but the chances were
that if not angered he would soon tire
of the sport and stink away to his
jungle lair.
So Tarzan swung quietly to a lower
limb in line with the approaching
fugitives, and as Mr.. Samuel 7. Phi
