Inc commanding officers believe that
without doubt the encampment will be
a model one in every way. While
the men and officers will have some
time for play and pleasure. the spirit
of the camp will be for business from

tie close order drill commonly called
fuss and feathers: the instruction
will be chiefly in the mechanism of ex-
tended order and combat exercises.
There will be fire problems nearly
every day at the State rifle range.
1t is believed that great improve

regiment through the instruction re-
struetlon received by the officers and
commissioned officers at the school
of Instruction in June. Maine infan-
try has long been noted for it's good
work in the field and there is every
reason to believe that the fattering

officers at the Officers School forecasts
an advance in the enviable reputation

In the Garden of Eden.

The battle ground in Egypt, where
the British forces are opposing the
Turks is the site which archeologists
claim to be the spot where the Gar.
den Of Eden existed countless centu-
ries ago. The exact position lies be.
tween Annoh and Hit, on the upper
Euphrates, which is now the center
of the Turko- British struggle. The
former home Of Adam and Eve re-
sounds to the roar Of howitzers and
the tramp of armed men.
Many sacred scenes Of Bible history
are involved in the British cam
paign against the Turks in Palestine
One of the most sacred lakes in the
world, the Sea Of Gennesaret, or the
Lake of Gallilee, Is in the war zone
1t lies not far from Nazareth, and II
was from it that st. Peter and the
fishermen of the country gathered
their livelihood. Here was also the
town Of Capernaum, famous for Its
miracle records.
The hills around Nazareth are now
fortified by the Turks. and the sacred
ruins of Capernaum are threatened by
mines and air bombs.
The sites where Moses received the
Ten Commandments and where al
the stirring events Of the Israelite
wanderings in the wilderness occur
red have seen the horrors Of war. The
Turks are conducting their campaign
with utter Indifference to the claims
Of sacred buildings and territory to be
spared from destruction. The village
of GAIA, where Samson carried away
the city gates, and the town Of Heb
ron, where Abraham was buried, lie in
the path of the Turkish army, and II
Is doubtful whether the soldiers viii
refrain from destroying these ancient
sites.

little girl, and the tea-fights are
barred. I'll give you a check for that
span 8 blacks you were looking at,
and We'll call it square"
Does that mean that you intend to
go on until you have smashed him?"
asked she, quietly ignoring the puta-
tive bribe
I'm going to put him out Of busi-
ness-him and that other fool friend
Of yours-if that's what you mean"
Again the sudden lightning glowed
in Margery Grierson's eyes; again
there was a struggle, short and sharp,
between the leaping passions and the
indomitable will. Yet she could speak
softly.
What is the reason? Why do you
hate these two so desperately" she
asked.
Jasper Grierson famed away the
nimbus Of cigar smoke with which he
had surrounded himself and stared
gloomily at her through the rift.
Who said anything about hating?"
he derided. That's a fool woman's
notion. This is business, and there
amt any such thing as hate in busi-
ness"
Il hate it," she said coldly. Then
she dragged the talk back to the chan
mel it was leaving. II ought to have
broken in sooner; I might have known
what you would do. You are respon-
sible for this labor trouble they are
having over at the iron works. Don't
bother to deny it; 1 know. That was
your 'heeler'-the man you had here
when came. You don't play fair with
many people: don't you think you'd
better make an exception of me-"
Grierson was mouthing his cigar
again and the smoky nimbus was
thickening to its customary density
when he said: You're nothing but a
spoiled baby, Madge. If you'd cry for
the moon. you'd think you ought to
have it. I've said my say, and that's
all there is to it, Trot along home and
tend to your tea parties; that's your
part of the game. I can play my hand
alone"
She slipped out of the window-seat
and crossed the room quickly to stand
before him.

- The dreaded boil weevil has made
it's official appearance in Georgia at
last and now infests four counties In
the southwestern part Of the state,
according to officials at the capitol,
who have been making a close investi-
cation, says an Atlanta dispatch.
Eight or more ether counties are In
the direct line OF march Of the boil
weevil, which are now infesting De-
cauter, Thomas, Grady and Brooks.
The weevils are thick. a quarantine
against the shipment Of cotton seed is
suggested and the farmers have been
ordered to burn all the infected stalks.
The weevil reached Georgia two
years ahead Of its schedule as calcu-
lated by the state experts. 1t aver
ages 25 miles a year in its march but
1t came 80 miles in the past year,
jumping over Alabama in the longest
leap it has made since 1900, the year
Of the Galveston flood. 1t found the
state unprepared to meet it.

Some Famous Pictures that Were
Produced by Mere Boys.
Sir David Wilkie was probably the
most popular painter Of his time and
one Of the most deservedly so, and his
pictures today are almost all In the
great national collections or in the pos
session Of the king. He was extreme
ly precocious and might be said to
have been born with palette in his
hand.
Wilkie painted his famous and very
characteristic picture, "Pitlessie Fair,
when he was a mere lad. 1t was a
local scene which he knew well, and
the 14O figures which it contains were
all sketched from his fathers parish
toner's, for Wilkie was a "son Of the
manse." AS his father would have
been very angry to think his boy was
doing such a wrong thing as to ridi-
cule his dear flock, David had to use
his models quite "unbeknown" to them
lin fact, during service. The young
artist got them all under the book
board" and transferred them on can
vas at his leisure.
Everybody knows that Millais was
an infant prodigy" Did he not win
the gold medal of the Royal academy
when he was nine?

IL l.
zarro Selling the Inca Of Peru" How
many boys Of fifteen know anything
Of Pizarro or the Incas even II they
happen to know the whereabout OF
Peru? Yet Millais was only that age
when he not only knew these things,
but could realize them in splendid
power in paint and get his picture on
the line at the academy, and he was
only fifteen when he painted one OF
his supreme masterpieces, judged by
some to be the greatest thing he ever
did. Lorenzo and Isabella which is
one Of the treasurers Of the Walker
Art Gallery Of Liverpool.
Holman Hunt was only twenty when
he painted his famous Eve Of st. Ag-
nes," and still little more than boy
when he painted his remarkable pic
ture which he called Behold Stand
at the Door and Knock" but which is
known to the world today as THE
Light Of the World" a replica Of which
can be seen in ST. Paurs cathedral.
Rossetti painted his lovely picture
"Girlhood Of Mary Virgin" when he
was twenty and his famous "Ecce An
ella Domini," the year following.
Landseer was amazingly precocious.
He exhibited his first academy picture
when he was fifteen.-Exchange.

| opened; but when Margery crossed
the room and perched herself on the
deep seat Of the farthest window, II
went on in guarded tones at a silent
signal from the banker to his visitor
There was a trade journal lying In
the window seat, and Miss Grierson
took it up to become idly immersed In
study Of the advertising pictures. II
she listened to the low-toned talk 1t
was only mechanically, one would say.
Yet there was quickening Of the
breath now and again, and pressing
Of the white teeth upon the ripe lower
lip, as she turned the pages Of the ad-
vertising supplement; these, though
only detached sentences Of the talk,
drifted across to the window seat:
You're fixed to put the entire re-
sponsibility for the ruction over on to
the other side Of the house?" was one
Of the overheard sentences; 1t was her
fathers query, and she also heard the
answer: We're goin' to put 'em in
bad, don't forget it. Theren be
some broken heads. most likely, and
If they're ours, somebody'll pay for
'em." A little further along 1t was her
father who said: you've got to quit
this running to me. Keep to your own
side Of the fence. Murray's got his
orders, and he'll pay the bills. If any
thing breaks loose, I won't know you.
Get that?" I'm on" said the red
faced man; and shortly afterward he
took his leave.
When the door had closed behind
the man who looked like ward heeler
or a walking delegate. and who had
been both, and many other and more
questionable things, by turns, Jasper
Grierson swung his huge chair to face
the window
"wel?" he said, "how's Galbraith
coming along?"
The smoldering fires in the daugh-
ter's eyes leaped up at the provocation
lurking in the grim brutality; but they
were dying down again when she put
the trade journal aside and said: y
didn't come here to tell you about Mr..
Galbraith. 1 came to give you notice
that it is time to quit. When I asked
you to put Mr.. Raymer under obliga-
tions to you, said I'd tell you when
1t was time to STOP"
The president Of the Farmers and
Merchants tilted his chair to the
lounpinp angle and laughed: a slow
gurgling laugh that spread from lip to
eye and thence abroad through his
great frame until he shook like gro
tesque incarnation Of the god Of mirth.

The Bethel Tournament.

nc octESl
A friend from the neighborhood of
Bethel, has kindly furnished us with
the particulars of the tournament
which came off there on the 9Th inst.
Early in the morning Of the ap-
pointed day a gay assemblage Of Eye
gala 1t knights and faire ladies" con-
voked at the grounds where the feats
Of prowess were to be enacted by the
champions of the stirrup. The knights
formed in martial array by DR.. ]. Blair
Hunter, their chief. appeared on the
ground, mounted at 10 a. m, and after
the usual gallant compliments Of the
softer sex, proceeded to contest for
the prize at the head Of the ring.
The gay costumes, the fearless horse
manship and expert handling Of the
rein and sabre elected many smiles
and compliments from the spectators
that thronged the reserved space.
Three heads were arranged in line
at a suitable distance apart and the
contest was first for the champion
ship with the sabre at these. Each
knight was allowed three passes at
these objects. Then came the exercis-
es with the lance at the rings After
a display of fine horsemanship and
much expertness in the use Of their
weapons, the knights were assembled
at the judges stand and the cham
pionship awarded.
N. B. Campbell, knight OF the
Southern Cross" was declared the
victor and on him devolved the priv
ilege Of crowning the queen Of the day.
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1915-09-14

The gallant knight worthily bestowed
the crown upon Miss Maggie Wallace
]. A. Campbell, knight Of the Sunny
South" being declared the next sue
cessful competitor, crowned Miss
Maggie Armstrong as first maid Of
honor. w. s. Adams, knight Of so
bieski," the third competitor, selected
Miss Lou. Lawrence as second maid
Of honor. j. w. Barnett, fourth on the
list Of the gallants, selected Miss Vir-
ginia Campbell as third maid Of hon
or.
These pleasant exercises being per-
formed with taste Of gallantry high
ly creditable to the occasion, the as
semblage soon after adjourned to the
hospitable home of DR.. J. Blair Hunter
where the light fantastic toe" was
tripped until the soft hours Of the
night called the guests to another en-
tertainment, the banquet. OF this we
can speak from the record as we were
kindly furnished with a bountiful
supply Of good things on hand and we
venture to say that never did the old
hills Of Bethel yield better display
Of edibles than on this occasion. And
full justice was meted the luxuries by
those whose fortune it was to be
there.
After this agreeable performance
was over, the dancing hall again re-
sounded to the tread Of the dancers
and long into the small hours Of the
morning the dance was continued.
Long will those who were present
remember the tournament Of Bethel
and many a gallant knight we trow
won there not merely the chaplet Of
an hour but a crown Of beauty to
wear through life."
